    Worth a visit if only for the views
    We had arrived in Medellin early and our hotel wasn’t ready till 3pm. Tired and hungry we decided to visit as it wasn’t to far from our hotel. Not too much walking involved and only a short taxi ride. It was a bit of a tourist trap although I have visited much worse. Fantastic views of the city from the top of the hill and some nice places to enjoy a leisurely lunch till our room was ready. If I didn’t have time to kill would have probably not have visited, a pleasant time spent there but definitely not high on your Medellin itinerary.

    Lovely place
    I visited Pueblito Paisa back in January 2023. I don't recommend the season because there's too much rain and you may risk the experience, even worse if you like to walk like we did as you'll receive a lot of rain on the 10 minute walk to the hill where this place is located. The entrance, if you go on feet, is not easily located but you can be sure it is safe. There's no cost to access the place and you'll find a nice store on the way to the top. Although the prices are about 50% higher that what you'd find on other place, it can help you with some snacks or water if you failed to buy any before your adventure. The place itself is a small neighborhood of beautiful old time houses. Most of them are businesses now that will offer micheladas, traditional snacks, ice cream or even some clothes and gifts to take home. You will also find multiple decorations and statues making reference to their history and legacy. The view of the city from there is incredible. There's also a food court where you can eat something more than a snack, like a Bandeja Paisa or Picada.

    Tap into the History of Medellín
    This was a very interesting place to visit if you enjoy history. Pueblo Paisa is a replica of a traditional Antiquia town from around the time of the early 1900's and before. The replica is placed on the top of Cerro Nutibara which is quite a climb on foot but it was well worth the breathlessness to see the incredible views from this spot. I visited Museo de Ciudad while I was there and photographed all the displays with my iPhone so I could use the translator to understand the exhibits. The history of Medellín is rich and this museum helped me to get a grasp of the pride the people have for their city. Don't forget to have a meal while you are there and sample the local cuisine. I think I could have written a review on that topic alone as the food was amazing.

    I liked it but some may feel it is a 'tourist trap'.
    I really liked this. Some may feel it is a 'tourist trap'. This is basically a replica of a traditional Antioquia town. I loved the colours of the buildings, the views and and the atmosphere. Also, a great place to purchase quality handicrafts or souvenirs. There are a few eateries as well and street vendors. Just take an uber. Maybe a 10 minute ride if you are staying in El Poblado.

    Nice place!
    It was a amazing experience. The view at the city was very nice and you can see the city. The site offers good foods and the museum was very interesting. The place is clean and well cared for, it is comfortable and you can buy different memories.

    Not impressed
    It’s a cute place but there isn’t much to do asides from the view (which you can get from other points of the city) and the food. I spent a couple of hours on my own and wasn’t impressed. Wouldn’t say it’s a must, but you can check it out if you have the time and wanna buy souvenirs

This little recreated village is nice for some pictures, souvenirs and city views but there really isn’t much here outside of what you see in the pictures. We were not there very long, and it does seem a little like a tourist trap (like some have mentioned) but if you’re looking for something relatively inexpensive and you’re in the are or have a little time to kill, this attraction might be just right for you.

Please do not walk in the park by yourself! There are a lot of open/secluded areas and I was robbed by an armed robber in the park (Not at the top tourist area).

At the top there are a bunch of food vendors, souvenir stores, live music and a museum. Nice little park to visit.
