Members macdaddi Posted June 29, 2022 Members Posted June 29, 2022 That is a lot of the major sites; I might add a few notes: Parque del Rio Medellin has spectacular lights at night. El Segundo Parque de Laureles has just been redesigned and re-opened and is a great spot for exploring night or day. The Estadio Giradot and the surrounding sports complexes (6 pools!) is a good afternoon stroll and popular workout spot. Parque Arvi is enormous and contains 5 distinct zones. I would recommend picking just one to hike as the trails can be fairly long (60-90 minute for most). You can download the app to your phone to get an interactive map as well. Cemetario de Belén is a nice option and more interesting architecturally During the Fiesta de las flores, it is traditional to visit the town of Santa Elena where many of the silleteros are designed. it is the heart of the flower industry in Medellin. Finally, you have not mentioned Guatapé and El Peñol which are 90 minutes away and worth the trip. I usually spend a long weekend there (you can rent a luxury finca for nothing) to chill out and hang with friends for a few days. No shortage of things to do. Good luck with your planning.

12is12 Posted June 29, 2022 Author Posted June 29, 2022 Thank u yet again, MacDaddi. We r very fortunate to have u here. This will b my 4th visit to clmbia, and I've already been to El Penol. It certainly rates a second visit, but in order to "hang out with friends" there - I first need to make some local friends. Hope to do so.... (-: Quote
