28. Colombia - Medellin

Medellin, at almost 5000 feet above sea level, is know as the City of Eternal Spring for its temperate weather, though it was pretty hot while we were there. It is the 2nd largest city in Colombia after Bogota.

During our short stay here, we spent a day at Parque Arvi, which is an ecological nature preserve located at the top of the Metrocable System that runs up the slopes of the eastern side of the city. The park is pretty with nice walking trails, but for me, most of the fun included navigating the public transportation system, and the incredible city views from the metrocable (gondola) that takes you to the park.Läs mer
