We spent 19 beautiful days in Medellin, Colombia, and it only took about 48 hours to fall in love with this city. I didn’t do so well running the steep hills and I would call it more the City of Eternal Late-Spring-Almost-Summer on the weather front, but if those are the closest I can get to complaints, I’d call it a pretty great place.
Since we were here for so long, we were able to see, try and do just about everything on our list (the only thing we pushed off for next time was Parque Arvi). Here are some of our favorites from our time here.
