This is a very comfortable, safe and fun way to know the main spots of Medellin but also to understand how this city managed to get over its violent past and became an example of innovation and transformation. I lived my childhood during the 80's when Medellin was under fire because of the violence caused by Pablo Escobar and the cartels and my adolescence during the 90's during the conflict held by the guerrillas and paramilitaries groups so I can give you an image about how it was living here at that time and how was the process of transformation. All this while visiting different spots like my neighborhood Comuna 13, that suffered the worst urban warfare in Colombia history and now it's the symbol of the transformation of this city, or riding the public transportation system, like the cablecars that make you feel like in an amusement park while flying over the hilly neighborhoods. Medellin is fascinating and inspiring and it will be a big pleasure for me showing you around!
The tour starts and ends at your hotel or where you prefer. Recommended start time: 8am. Stops: *INFLECTION PARK: Memorial park dedicated to the victims of the cartels war and former home of the drug lord Pablo Escobar that shows significant details of that part of our history. *CABELCARS: Fun transportation system that allows to have a complete view of the valley. *Comuna 13: The vibrant neighborhood where I grew up and that suffer the worst urban warfare in colombian history. Now it's the symbol of the transformation of this city. *BOTERO SQUARE: Park in the city center with 23 sculptures made by Botero, the most important artist from Colombia. This is a significant place where the transformation of the city started. *PARK OF THE RIVER OR NUTIBARA HILL: According to your taste, we choose from a park that shows the present and future of the city or a replica of a typical village with a great view point. *At the point you need it, we can stop for lunch (I have some good suggestions of restaurants).
