Medellín Highlights and Pueblito Paisa
Meet your Medellín tour guide/driver and kick things off in style as you savour the panoramic views of El Poblado and the Zona Rosa (Lleras, Provenza, Vía Primavera), areas known for their urban character and exclusivity, where parks, discos, bars, and shopping centres stand out.
Visit the famous Parque de Los Pies Descalzos, a space with eight stations: Puerta Urbana, Chorrito, Pozo de Los Sonidos, Espejo de Agua, Bosque de Guaduas, Jardín Zen, El Laberinto, and Torres de Nivel.
Continue to Plaza Botero, a park with 23 works of art by Fernando Botero, located in downtown Medellín. In the square, you will also find the imposing Rafael Uribe Palace of Culture and the Antioquia Museum, home to even more works by Botero as well as pieces by international artists.
Proceed to the beautiful Pueblito Paisa, a must-see replica of a town from years past, built in 1978 on top of Cerro Nutibara in Medellín. It is a tourist site visited by both locals and foreigners because it expresses Paisa traditions, and here you can find one- and two-storey colonial-style houses with interconnected balconies, handicraft fairs, museums, and viewpoints.
Discover a church with its monuments, the school, the mayor's office, the coral house, the barbershop, traditional Paisa handicraft shops, and the town centre. You will also see a stone square with a fountain in the middle, a characteristic feature of every town in Antioquia.
Next, head to the hillside outdoor theatre Carlos Vieco, the Sculpture Park, and a viewpoint from where you can enjoy some of the best panoramic views of the city of Medellín.
