Medellin
It's been over a year since, after Peru, the immense continent of South America opened itself to me - north, south, west; when I chose the north, and made the decision to cross the Equator through to Colombia, it was just my instinct talking. I didn't know where I would...

![San Antonio]()
San Antonio
A little East, there is the San Antonio park. In between the crowds of statues of Fernando Botero, the huge metal bird, lacerated, witnesses the explosion of twenty years ago. Next to the San Antonio Church of Padua, in the beautiful coupole, is the seat of the French...

Laureles
The stadium is the center of Laureles, the pretty town with the imperial name, the laurel district. Like the Poblado, we walk along the canals, tiny jungles where there is bamboo and at night - it glows, green and fluorescent, while restaurants and bars are full with...

Park Arví in Santa Elena
Description Park Arví is located in Santa Elena. When I visited it was a wooded area and it had a very different climate to Medellin. If you go, I recommend that you wear comfortable and warm clothes. Is it the traditional zone of the chair makers, the ones who prepare...

The Museum of Modern Art or MAMM
Description When one goes to the MAMM (Museum of Modern Art, Medellin) one can appreciate the architecture from outside which is different to any museum. This is because it was an old train station before and as you enter the building it will become more evident. The...

If you travel to Medellin, you can’t leave without visiting Peñol de Guatape, it is considered a "must see" of Colombia, and something you will never regret visiting. Although, you will need to mentally prepare yourself for walking a lot and climbing many stairs, but...
