About Medellín

Colombia's remarkable comeback story — a valley city of cable cars, Comuna 13's street art, and year-round 70°F weather.

Metro + cable cars are efficient and safe.

Spanish classes here are cheap — perfect 2-week stopover.

Much safer now but keep valuables hidden; don't flash phones.
