Day

1

¡Bienvenidos a Medellín!

Arrive in Medellín, Colombia’s City of Eternal Spring, where a private transfer whisks you from the airport to your centrally located hotel in style and comfort. After settling in, spend your afternoon getting acquainted with the city on a private half-day tour led by a local guide. Discover Medellín’s incredible transformation as you visit key landmarks like Plaza Botero, the Museum of Antioquia, and take in panoramic views from Cerro Nutibara. With vibrant street art, lively plazas, and a pulse that blends modern energy with deep-rooted culture, this introduction sets the perfect tone for your Medellín adventure.

Day

2

Colonial Charm & Paisa Nights

Today, choose your adventure in and around Medellín. For a truly memorable day, journey west to the beautifully preserved Santa Fe de Antioquia — a colonial gem with whitewashed buildings, cobblestone streets, and centuries-old churches. Stroll its historic plazas, cross the iconic Puente de Occidente, and soak in the town’s timeless atmosphere. Return to Medellín in the evening and experience the rhythm of local life with a private fonda tour — traditional Paisa-style bars filled with music, dancing, and vibrant décor. It’s the perfect way to sip, sway, and savour the joyful spirit of Antioquia.

Day

3

Color & Culture in the Hills

Today, choose between two unforgettable experiences beyond Medellín. For a full-day adventure, head to Guatapé and climb the iconic El Peñol Rock for panoramic lake views, then wander the town’s famously colorful streets and enjoy a relaxing boat ride. Prefer something closer to the city? Opt for a half-day visit to Santa Elena, where you’ll meet local flower farmers (silleteros) and learn about the traditions behind Medellín’s famous Feria de las Flores. Both options offer vibrant stories, scenic beauty, and a deeper connection to Antioquia’s rich cultural roots.

Day

4

Beans or Cascades – Your Medellín Finale

Spend your final full day embracing Colombia’s natural and cultural richness. Choose a hands-on coffee experience at a traditional hacienda, where you’ll follow the bean from crop to cup and savor the flavors of freshly brewed Colombian coffee. Or, lace up your boots for a scenic hike to La Miel Waterfall, a hidden gem tucked within lush Andean forest, perfect for nature lovers seeking peace and adventure. Whether you unwind with coffee aromas or cool off beneath cascading waters, it’s the perfect ending to your Medellín journey.

Day

5

Adiós, Medellín – Until Next Time

After one last breakfast in the City of Eternal Spring, it’s time to say farewell. Your private transfer will take you smoothly back to the airport, where you’ll begin your onward journey filled with unforgettable memories — from colorful towns and mountain views to rich coffee aromas and vibrant culture. Whether this was your first taste of Colombia or another chapter in your travel story, Medellín leaves a lasting impression. Safe travels and hasta pronto!
