Explore the "City of Eternal Spring" plus its surroundings!

During this Medellin tour, you will spend three days getting to know Colombia's second-largest city and its surroundings. Medellin is known for having perfect weather and spectacular views. There are plenty of things to do in Medellin and we'll hit the highlights and the most iconic places such as Plaza de Botero, El Pueblito Paisa and Parque LLeras. We’ll also take you to Comuna 13 to show you how they've changed over the years. Comuna 13 was once a rundown, dangerous area but is now a prime spot to see colourful graffiti and learn about Colombia’s class system and communities. This Medellin tour also includes an exciting day trip to Guatape and EL Peñol and a visit to a local flowers farm to learn about the cultivation process and the elaboration of flower arrangements called silletas for the famous flowers festival.

DAY 1 Flight to Medellin and City Tour

In the morning, we will transfer you to the airport for a flight to Medellin. On arrival to Medellin, we will meet you at the airport to take you to the hotel where you will have some time to relax and have lunch before starting our Medellin city tour.

During the city tour, we will visit the most iconic areas of the city including: Plaza de Botero, El Pueblito Paisa and Parque LLeras. The Plaza de Botero is a medium sized plaza full of sculptures created by the famous Colombian sculptor, Fernando Botero (originally from Medellin). He is famous for his style of painting, which makes everything look "chubby". The Parque Lleras and El Pueblito Paisa are two of Medellin's must-see quarters. The Pueblito Paisa, a small replica of a typical Antioquia township, located on top of the 80m-hill "Cerro Nutibara" is the perfect place to get a great panoramic view of the city, while the Parque Lleras is one of the most popular areas for entertainment and nightlife in Medellin

DAY 2 Visit Comuna 13 and Flowers Farm

In the morning, we will take you to Comuna 13, previously one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Medellin. The area is safe to explore now, thanks to the government’s promise to improve the neighbourhood and the community’s commitment to sharing this unique part of Medellin with visitors. Ride multiple elevators installed on the side of a mountain to help people move through the community easier. The walls of Comuna 13 are adorned with bright graffiti and your local guide will explain the meaning and symbolism behind some of the works of art. Witness for yourself how one community that was once home to immense struggle has blossomed into a colourful cultural spot in Medellin.

After visiting Comuna 13, we will go to Santa Elena to visit a local flowers farm when you will have a traditional Colombian lunch prepared by the mom of the house. This is your chance to learn more about Colombian gastronomy and what foods are popular among the locals. 

Santa Elena is a small town located about 30 minutes above Medellin. The flower farm you will visit has sprawling grounds, vibrant blooms and owners who are ready to welcome you with open arms. Visitors will have the chance to try some traditional Colombians snacks such as arepas or empanadas in the charming main house. Next, it’s time to learn about the whole flower cultivation process and why horticulture is so important in this area of Colombia. You will also participate in a hands-on flower arranging activity learn how locals compete to make stunning arrangements for annual parades that draw visitors from all over the world. At the end of the day, we will drop you back off at your hotel.

Upon arrival to the town of Guatape, you will be surrounded by the most colourful houses, each one intricately decorated with zocalos, traditionally painted carvings, along the lower parts of the main entrances. After visiting the town, we will go to El Peñol from where you will get a stunning view of the region. We will also take a boat ride around the reservoir.
