56 days in Medellin Itinerary

Nestled between rising hills in a narrow valley, Medellin serves as an energetic melting pot of people from all socio-economic classes.

Appreciate the collections at Museo de Antioquia and El Castillo Museo y Jardines. Pueblito Paisa and Concatedral de San Nicolas el Magno de Rionegro are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Venture out of the city with trips to Guatape (Cable Paseo Guatape, ALTITUDE, & more), Catedral Nuestra Senora del Rosario de Chiquinquira (in Santa Rosa de Osos) and Santa Fe de Antioquia (Centro Historico Santa Fe de Antioquia, Plaza Mayor Juan de Corral, & more). Spend the 20th (Sat) exploring nature at Arvi Park. Spend the 8th (Thu) exploring nature at Parque Piedras Blancas. There's still lots to do: admire nature's wide array of creatures at Parque Explora, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Iglesia de Nuestra Senora del Carmen, don't miss a visit to Plaza Botero, and look and learn at Planetario de Medellin.
