Why go
Discover Medellín
Medellín is the symbol of Colombia's transformation: a modern city surrounded by green mountains, with a mild climate all year round that earned it the nickname "city of eternal spring".
Its metro and cable cars connect the hillside neighborhoods with downtown, and places like Comuna 13 are now icons of street art and community.
Two hours away is Guatapé, with its reservoir dotted with islands and El Peñol rock, one of the most impressive views in the country.
