Historic & Innovative Medellín

About this experience

Book this experience directly with Santiago Rivera, a certified local guide in Medellín.

Discover the city that rewrote its own history. On this tour you'll walk through the heart of the historic center and, on the same day, get to know the spaces that today make Medellín the leading innovation hub in Colombia. You'll start in the traditional downtown, where Plaza Botero gathers 23 monumental sculptures by master Fernando Botero in front of the Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture, one of the city's most emblematic buildings. You'll continue through the Park of Lights and the La Alpujarra district, the administrative center where the decisions of Antioquia are made. Then you'll leap into the present: you'll ride the Metro, the system that transformed mobility and civic culture, all the way to the Ruta N Innovation District, the epicenter of entrepreneurship and technology. Nearby you'll visit the Park of Wishes and the Joaquín Antonio Uribe Botanical Garden. The tour closes with a panoramic Metrocable ride and a stop at Pueblito Paisa, on Nutibara Hill, from where you'll have the best view of the Aburrá Valley and the perfect photo of a city that went from a difficult past to constant reinvention. An ideal experience if you want to understand Medellín beyond the postcard: its history, its people and the decisions that turned it into a world reference for urban innovation. ⏱️ Duration: 5 to 6 hours · Private experience. 💵 Three options (choose yours when booking): • Per hour — $70,000/hour: guide only, groups of 1 to 10 travelers.
