Hello everyone! I am an economics professor, passionate about travel and who considers that tourism is an opportunity to get to know other cultures and ways of life. I want people who come to Medellín to have all the necessary information to maximize their stay in the city. That they have bases of the existing means of transport, of the food of the region and of the most visited places, but also what the locals do to have a good time.

Tour description

GET IN MEDELLÍN

This is a three-hour tour that will share some of the city's history as you walk through different locations in the city center and neighborhoods of Poblado.

The objective is for people to understand many aspects that a tourist should know, such as: places to go, where and what to eat, where to have a craft beer, where you can walk without problems, how to use the city's transportation service (metro, tram, cables, bus), but also to learn about the attractions in Medellín such as: the graffiti tour, everything related to Pablo Escobar and the painter Fernando Botero, describing what there is in Envigado and Sabaneta and how to get to those places.

In short, it's a reconnaissance walk of your current location, with a description of what's happening in the city and tourist tips and advice:

Aguacatala Metro Station. Exit
Medellín Center Botero Plaza (Fernando Botero Sculptures)
National Palace Shopping Center
San Antonio Square (Sculpture by Paloma Fernando Botero)
Inflexion Memorial Park (Pablo Escobar)
Virgin Mystical Rose
Santa Fe Shopping Center. Money can be exchanged.
President Park Farmers Market (Sundays only)
Lleras Park
Provence
Craft Beer Stop (Optional)
It ends at the Metro Village station.

Note: You will be walking most of the time, so be prepared to do so for 3 hours.

The subway is used twice, so this expense must be taken into account.

Before the tour, I'll write to you to give you directions to the meeting point.

I look forward to seeing you on this very comprehensive tour of the city :)
