Highlights
  • Los Olivos neighborhood - The war did not distinguish social class, neighborhood or community, all Medellin passed very difficult times in the 80s and 90s. This neighborhood, where Pablo Escobar dies, is perhaps for many the beginning of a new beginning, however, there was much more after this success.
  • Cementerio Jardines Montesacro - Finally, it is the only thing we have insurance, death. In the cemetery you can see the gravestone of Paul and his closest family.
  • Parque San Antonio - San Antonio Park generates a bittersweet feeling, today we appreciate the art of Fernando Botero, however, there are memories associated with the time of war.

Here we will see some sculptures of Master Botero, and they will tell us about the most difficult time for the city.

  • Plaza Botero - The largest public art exhibition for Fernando Botero is here, right in the center of Medellín. Enjoying the 23 outdoor bronze sculptures is a cultural example, that this city is more than stigma and the past, today it is art, people, green, transformation.
  • Museo de Antioquia - Art is the key to changing the landscape. It is here that the master Botero opens the doors to a world full of magic, where over the years and with his name he has tried to transform the name of his city into a cultural reference.

Culture and History of Medellín! - We were a family group visiting Medellin in May and June of 2023. After we did the Coffee and Guatape tour with Tourguides Medellín, I looked at the other tours by Tourguides Medellín and saw this one. I was looking for another tour that would be more cultural and historical and to see more of Medellín that we still did not know about in our previous trips. As in our first tour, we wanted the entire tour to be in English, and so this tour was again all in English (other than asides, etc., in Espanol for the rest of our Spanish speakers). Everything from start to finish with Tourguides Medellín was great! Once we paid/reserved via Tripadvisor, we were contacted via What's App by Tourguides Medellín with instructions in English and Español that were very detailed and answered all of our questions but were also simple/clear. We were picked up on time, and from the beginning, our guide was Alejandro, and our driver were very nice, courteous, happy, and passionate about their jobs and Colombia, Medellin, etc. Alejandro was an excellent guide who gave information during our drives to downtown Medellin for our guided tours around downtown, including admissions to some museums, the large building that was renovated from a dilapidated structure to a kind of shopping mall, and an art gallery. We took the Metro Cable as well as the train. We also walked a bit around Medellín going to the Memorial building. Alejandro was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Colombia and Medellin while also being very realistic and informing us about everything. We thought that our first guide Sarah was excellent and Alejandro was just as excellent! We highly recommend Alejandro and Tourguides Medellín! Both guides Sarah and Alejandro are a must!
