60 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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Museo Casa de la Memoria and Iglesia de Nuestra Senora del Carmen. Museum-lovers will get to explore Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellin and Museo del Agua EPM. Change things up with these side-trips from Medellin: Parque Tematico Replica del Viejo Penol (in Penol), Catedral Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes (in Caldas) and Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion (in Sopetran). Pack the 1st (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Parque Comfama. Pack the 8th (Sun) with family-friendly diversions at Parque de Las Aguas. The adventure continues: stroll through Guatape Dam, head outdoors with ALTITUDE, don't miss a visit to Centro Historico Santa Fe de Antioquia, and grab your bike and head to Ciclovia.
