Medellin
Discover the City of Eternal Spring on your luxury tour to Colombia.
Known as La Ciudad De Eterna Primavera or “The City of Eternal Spring”, Medellin has been named the most innovative city
in the world in the Wall Street Journal’s City of the Year Contest, a testament to its dedication to shedding its troubled past.
The city is a bustling metropolis known for its friendly locals, many museums, fine dining, trendy bars, and, of course,
world-class coffee. It is here where visitors can experience one of South America’s most dynamic cities and a hub for
Colombian culture. Without a doubt, you will fall in love with Medellin and the people or “paisas” that call it home.
Colombia’s second city is developing a reputation for gastronomy that pays homage to the country’s biodiversity and indigenous culture. A hive of creativity and entrepreneurship in one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, the city provides chefs with the ideal playground for discovering ingredients and experimenting with dishes. Here, traditional dishes like bandeja paisa and arepas meet innovative cuisine from world-renowned Michelin-star chefs and more.
The inhabitants of Medellin, known as Paisas, are incredibly proud of their city’s distinct culture. Sculptures from the Colombian artist Botero adorn the city, and museums like the Museo de Antioquia are a symbol of Medellín’s transformation. The colorful city is also a hub for music in Colombia, with live shows, concerts, and performances as activities both locals and visitors love. Sports lovers can also enjoy Medellin, which is a city of soccer or futbol lovers as well.
Medellin is not only the city of eternal spring but also the city of eternal adventure. Medellin's consistent climate makes it ideal for active traveling. The city's surrounding rivers and mountains welcome world-class whitewater rafting and kayaking, breathtaking hikes, and horseback riding through coffee and chocolate plantations to waterfalls. Raft the mighty Samana River or Hike Páramo de Belmira National Park. For epic views of the city, paraglide over Medellin - the opportunities for adventure are endless.
Medellin might be one of the most vibrant cities in South America, but it is far from a concrete jungle. Medellin invests heavily in its green spaces and surrounding nature, making it a haven for hikers, nature lovers, and those who need a break from city life. Visitors can go to Parque Arvi, an ecological reserve, natural forests, and more than 54 kilometers (33 miles) of walking trails, or visit the many rivers or national parks right outside of the city.
