Medellin has grown in popularity over recent years and has become a hotspot for party-goers and travelers alike. It is often referenced as the City of Eternal Spring. While I love everything about Medellin and what it offers, many people miss out on some of the best activities here. And by activities, I’m talking about…

Jardin is a small town south of Medellin that not many people seem to talk about. It feels like a mixture of Italy and Colombia combined with breathtaking scenery. The coffee region of Colombia did not disappoint. There are many activities to do here. Most of these activities involve seeing a waterfall like the famous…

Located in close proximity to Salento is a wonderful park full of waterfalls. This area is great for the whole family as all of the trails are easy to follow and most aren’t difficult. We came to this park after hiking the famous Valle de Cocora. The main attraction here is the Santa Rita waterfall….

I want to start off by saying I underestimated this hike. I knew it would be tough but I didn’t think it was this hard. I’m not trying to shy you away from this hike because Cerro Quitasol is definitely worth doing. Not only do you get the best views of Medellin but it is…

Located as a massive green spot on the map, Cerro El Volador is one of Medellin’s most popular parks. Unlike Cerro Tres Cruces, most of this hike can be done on a paved road. This is a great place if you like to go biking or enjoy nature without traveling far. Once at the top,…
