The trip to Medellín will combine traditional city sightseeing with amazing nature experiences less than 2 hours away. Medellín is called "The city of eternal spring" The weather in Medellín is just about perfect, hence its rather lyrical nickname of ‘The City of Eternal Spring.’ With average year-round temperatures of around 22°C (72°F) and daily highs of over 30°C (86°F), the climate is about as good as it gets. Medellín was named ‘Innovative City of the Year’ by the Wall Street Journal in 2013, and that amazing innovation is visible throughout the city today. You can ride the Metrocable cars to previously isolated neighborhoods, visit the many science and library parks dotted around the city, or explore Comuna 13 neighborhood with its series of urban escalators. One of the principal reasons that many travelers choose to visit Medellín is the city’s enviable nightlife. The popular backpacker neighborhood El Poblado is full of quality bars and nightclubs, but that’s not all there is to partying in Medellín. With plenty of live music venues, regular festivals and a true love of celebration, Medellín is easily one of the best cities in Colombia to experience nightlife.

About me! I'm a travel enthusiast, since 2010, I've been taking yearly trips alone or with friends to new countries and cities. I love exploring new cultures and getting to know people from around the world. I'm a relaxed person who tends to go with the flow. I lived in Medellín for almost 2 years, so I know where to go to have an amazing experiences in on of the top turistic destinations in Colombia.
