Things to see and do Medellín

A lively place where 23 sculptures from Master Botero dominate. One of the places most visited by tourists. Take a look at yellow ceibas and guayacanes, beautiful trees.

This building in white and black stone, whose construction began in 1925, is the work of the Belgian Belgian Agustín Goovaerts. Today he houses a museum on Rafael Uribe Uribe, a Colombian politician assassinated during the presidential campaign in 1914 for his liberal commitment.

This German-Colombian agency based in Medellín offers ecological and social tourism to appreciate and understand Medellín and Colombia. The Markus team is composed of polyglot and European guides. Small groups and customized circuits. Do not miss the city tower "Medellín and its transformation", 4 hours to appreciate the town's urban and social changes. The Agency also organizes trips across the country, particularly on the Pacific coast with local communities.

On the Nutibara hill (80 m), a replica of a traditional Antioquia village, with its church, plaza, foundation and flowered houses. Restaurants and handicrafts. Next door, the Museo de la Ciudad, with a model of the city and temporary exhibitions, and the Parque de las Esculturas, with ten modernist and abstract sculptures in the open air. Nice view from the mirador, but visitors are often disappointed by what the locals tell them.

A site of tourist and cultural information about Medellin and its region.

Large esplanade lined with arcades with an impressive bronze bust from Botero and two statues of doves. One of the two, El Pajaro Herido (the Wounded Bird) was shredded by a bomb. She exploded during a festival in 1995, killing 23 people and injuring a hundred. A commemorative plaque lists the victims. The other statue, El Pajaro de la Paz, is a replica made by Botero in manifest form against criminals.
