What travellers are saying
- Sherri MGreenville, SC5 contributionsExcellent, safe & inexpensive way to visit Park Arvi as well as see the entire city of Medellin from a different perspective.Written 14 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nathan Smith JrLos Angeles, CA627 contributionsGuatape, unlike the rock, was very much worth the two hour drive from Medellin. I absolutely could not get enough of the gorgeous views of the lake. The water and natural formations are breathtaking. As part of our tour, we got to go out on a boat around Guatape and it was a pretty fun experience. I think if you're visiting Medellin you have to come out and see how beautiful this place is.Written 19 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nina M8 contributionsGabriela was the bomb! Very informative...bubbly personality and cute! So glad she was our guide.

- AngeliqueMichelle50 contributionsI love a good museum, make it science and it’s even better in my book. Parque Explora was an incredible museum for people of all ages. I saw kindergarten students, high school students, and even elderly couples at the museum and they all seemed to be having a good time. It was very interactive, informative, and definitely kept my attention.Written 12 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AngeliqueMichelle50 contributionsAt first I didn't understand the appeal of the Escaleras. But after visiting them and reaching the top of Comuna 13, I completely get it. Not only do they offer you an incredible view of Medellin, but they take you to a tourist hot spot. The top is filled with venders, shops, galleries, restaurants, and an abundance of street performers.Written 13 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jacque THonolulu, HI203 contributionsBeautiful grounds and worth a visit. Try and go early morning, less humidity and less people. Built in 1930, not that old, looks and feels older. The family did some good for the town and very sad about their daughter dying so young. Great photo opportunities.Written 11 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TAMAN1951Liberty Lake, WA5,897 contributionsEspecially nice exhibits of the famous Botero. Lots of fat folks sculptures and paintings.
Some are quite intriguing and some not so much.
Very clean and organized.
Worth a visit.Written 8 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are many different sections and outdoor dining options or snack options throughout the park. The gondola option leading up to the park is also enjoyable.Written 6 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Juan P11 contributionsGreat experience. Beautifully done and arranged in the park.
Did feel a bit unsafe due to a very heavy traffic of homeless and prostitution in the park itself.Written 29 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was wonderful to see so many book venders, authors, informational panels, and interactive sessions. The gardens themselves are nice. Definitely a smaller garden without a wide vary of plants, unlike other gardens I've visited. But admission is free and it's a great place to spend an hour or two.Written 13 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cesar R50 contributionsComing to the museum was a great experience! Our tour guide Fernando was very knowledgeable and lively.

- A KPanama City, Panama42 contributionsJust a lovely mall where everybody of the family will be happy and find something nice. Luxurious mall high on top of a hill.Written 31 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Juan MLake Tahoe (California), CA2 contributions"El Pueblito Paisa" is an amazing place located at "el Cerro Nutibara" in Medellin, Antioquia which does not cost anything, it is an attractive viewpoint and a replica of a Paisa town, there are handicrafts and food if you want to buy. The climate is temperate and humid, with an average temperature of 21.6°C. In my experience it is a very nice place where you can try Colombian cuisine and the dances and views of Medellin ColombiaWritten 12 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nathan Smith JrLos Angeles, CA627 contributionsThe Medellin Metro does exactly what you want from a metro. It gets you from point A to point b safely, affordably and reliably. As part of our city tour, our tour guide took us from communa 13 to the city centre using the metro and it was an easy process to get there. My one complaint would be the fact that the metro places don't have a lot of handicapped accessible options. So my mom has knee problems and struggled to make her way up and down the stairs. Obviously, my mom is not the only one who suffers from knee issues and they should really address this.Written 19 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- A KPanama City, Panama42 contributionsI love this mall. It was our first and it's quite big. It was across the street of our hotel so we were there almost every day. It's even nice to just hang out.
Also a lot of good restaurants for lunch and dinnerWritten 31 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
