Best of Medellin

Medellin & environs

This is the ultimate in-depth private tour of Medellin, the second-largest city in Colombia.

During private touring, delve into the city's colorful history, and learn about its transformation over recent decades. Visit the Antioquia Museum, which has exhibits ranging from pre-Columbian artifacts to modern art, and walk among dozens of chubby sculptures by Medellin-native Fernando Botero in the plaza in front. Journey by municipal cable car into the hills to take in unique views of the rooftops of the city and see interesting contemporary architecture, such as the Biblioteca Espana (Spain Library). If desired, also ride the elevated metro train for a glimpse into city life and impressive views of Medellin and the green hills surrounding it.

One day, take a private excursion to the countryside outside Medellin to visit the mountain community of Santa Elena, the Penol reservoir and the colorful village of Guatape.

Another day, enjoy a private excursion to a nearby coffee farm to learn how local farmers produce some of the world's finest coffee, and experience the aromas and flavors during a private coffee tasting. Alternatively, continue private city touring according to your interests. Other touring options include visiting the Park of Lights, the Botanical Garden, Arvi Park nature preserve and sites related to notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar, and seeing other monuments and sculptures significant to the city's history.
