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 Cementerio Museo de San Pedro. Change things up with these side-trips from Medellin: Parque Tematico Replica del Viejo Penol (in Penol), Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion (in Sopetran) and Catedral Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes (in Caldas). 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, engage your brain at Museo del Agua EPM, and don't miss a visit to Centro Historico Santa Fe de Antioquia.
