Visit a replica of a typical Antioquian village at the top of Nutibara Hill, surrounded by modern buildings, to see up close the region's traditional architecture and learn about its history and culture. Enjoy a beautiful view of the city from the lookout. Featuring a small chapel, a museum, shops, and local gastronomy, it is a perfect place to take pictures.
A must-visit for nature lovers to see an extensive collection of plants from the region and the world, including an orchid exhibit, Arví Park ecosystem samples, a lake, and endemic birds watching. Visitors can also take a guided tour, ride a cable car, or rent a bicycle to enjoy the beautiful and peaceful setting.
Explore the picturesque, colorful town of Guatapé, also known as the "Pueblo de Zócalos" because of the finely detailed bas-reliefs on its buildings' lower facades. Take a boat tour of the lake to enjoy the town's landscape and visit famous sights like the "El Peñol" Boulder. This rock formation has magnificent panoramic views, and visitors can climb 700 stairs to reach the top.
If you have more time, consider visiting other attractions like Santa Fe de Antioquia town, a coffee farm tour, or a Comuna 13 neighborhood graffiti tour. If you have less time, consider skipping Guatapé and El Peñol boulder or Botanical Garden of Medellin. Keep in mind that some places may be closed on select days, so double-check before planning your trip.
