Medellín

We visited busy La Candelería, drank cocktails in El Poblado and strolled around in Laureles, but were not impressed. The city and its many districts are hard to get a grip on. On a day trip to Guatapé we climbed El Peñol's 708 steps for a great view over the lake and wandered around in the colorful town. The next day, we had to revise our opinion of Medellín after a walking tour in the vibrant San Javier district (Comuna 13) , where we tasted local food and enjoyed art in all its forms. This neighborhood transformed from Colombia's most dangerous place to the coolest one in little more than a decade.Les mer
