5. Take a cable car through the city of Medellín
Cable cars traverse the slopes of this fashionable Andean city, home to illuminating museums, and enticing restaurants.
Medellín sits in a valley surrounded by mountains at 1500m above sea level. Thanks to its moderate altitude and mild climate, it is known as the city of eternal spring.
The town makes an excellent base for forays into more rural areas. Take a day trip to the beautiful colonial towns of Santa Fe de Antioquia and lakeside Guatapé. Explore the pretty painted houses, near the imposing natural rock formation of “La Piedra” (“the rock”).
