Medellín Holidays

The second largest city in Colombia, Medellín has become a thriving cultural hub. Having seen a huge transformation from the time of Pablo Escobar in the 1980s, when it was considered one of the most dangerous places in the world.

Medellín’s pleasant climate, local food, museums, and public artwork, make it a fantastic location to visit. The dynamic El Poblado district features a fantastic array of bars and restaurants, whilst Patio Bonito has a more relaxed bohemian atmosphere.

Located in the lush Aburrá Valley, the surrounding region is a beautiful mountainous area dotted with traditional villages such as Guatapé and nature reserves, all easily reached from the city centre.
