Medellin is a city that will embrace you with love and kindness from the moment you arrive. Its civic culture and warm hospitality make it a must-visit destination. With a spring climate, a wide range of services, and a position at the forefront of the world's great cities, Medellin is the perfect choice for business and pleasure. Its museums, churches, natural parks, and stages for business events, sports, and culture will leave you amazed.
Medellin was recognized as the Best Emerging Destination in South America at the World Travel Awards in 2022. It has also won awards for Best Getaway Destination in South America in 2016, 2020, and 2021 and Best Meetings and Conference Destination in 2014 and 2015. Medellin's Science and Technology District highlights its innovation, recognized as the most innovative city in the world by The Wall Street Journal in 2013. But what truly sets Medellin apart is its humanity, warmth, color, friendship, lifestyle, and passion. It is a city that speaks the language of progress and offers a unique experience to all visitors.
By Air:
Medellin has 2 Airports, the Jose Maria Cordova International Airport located 30 minutes from Medellin and the Olaya Herrera Airport for domestic flights located in the city.
By Land:
Medellin has two inter-municipal bus terminals, the North Terminal and the South Terminal, used by thousands of travelers to leave and arrive to and from all the cities and municipalities of Colombia.
In Medellin, streets are called 'calles' and 'carreras'. 'Calles' increase from south to north, and 'carreras' from east to west. The main point of reference is the river that divides the valley, crossing it from south to north, with the roads parallel to the river and the streets perpendicular to it. Its two hills, Nutibara (Pueblito Paisa) and El Volador, in the northern part of the city, are also important points of reference.
Public Transportation: Medellin has an efficient multimodal public transportation system offering services in buses, metro, metro cable (cable car), tram, and taxis to move throughout the city and metropolitan area. You should keep in mind the rush hours from 7 AM to 8 AM and from 5 PM to 6 PM.
The cultural diversity is evident in the variety of ingredients and cooking methods. The Bandeja Paisa is served on a tray due to its large size and is the signature dish of Medellin and Antioquia. It consists of beans, rice, pork chorizo, delicious bacon, ground meat, blood sausage, fried egg, ripe plantain, avocado, and the famous arepa paisa.
The arepa paisa is a mouth-watering tortilla made of corn flour that can be enjoyed with cheese, butter, condensed milk, or other toppings. It is commonly eaten for breakfast or as a side dish with meals such as Bandeja Paisa.
Lastly, you can try the Mazamorra Antioqueña, a delectable drink made from cooked white corn served with milk and panela. It is perfect as a dessert or snack, accompanied by a guava candy or a milk caramel known as a panelita.
Medellin's Flower Festival is the city's biggest annual festival, celebrated between July and August. With vibrant flower decorations throughout the city and diverse events such as concerts, parades, shows, and the spectacular Silleteros Parade, this festival cannot be missed! The city celebrates more events each year such as:

Please keep in mind the following tips before traveling to Medellin. The city has type A or B plugs, so ensure to carry a type A adapter if you have a type B or European type C plug; in some places only Type A plugs are available. The voltage in the city is 110V AC and the grid is stable all the time.
Most businesses in the city accept credit cards, so we recommend carrying at least $100,000 in cash per person and day, especially if you plan to visit rural places or distant towns. Colombian Pesos come in $1,000, $2,000, $5,000, $10,000, $20,000, $50,000, and $100,000 bills.
The tap water in Medellin is 100% drinkable, but we don't recommend drinking tap water in nearby municipalities and towns. So, it's better to drink bottled water or bottled drinks. On most tours, we'll provide you with a hydration kit, which includes environmentally friendly bottles or containers.
The climate in the city is usually cool to hot, and in some regions, you can have temperate or cold climates. So, casual clothing is enough, and we recommend wearing sunglasses, a hat, or a cap to protect yourself from the sun. Our guides will guide you with the appropriate clothing to visit the destinations from the day before.
