Description

Explore the real heart of Medellín on a guided walking tour through the city’s historic downtown. Discover Botero’s famous sculptures and hidden streets while enjoying authentic local Colombian food.
Begin your journey at Parque Berrío, the birthplace of Medellín, where you’ll learn how the city evolved from a small colonial settlement into one of Latin America’s most innovative urban centers. Visit La Candelaria Church, the oldest church in downtown Medellín, and continue to the historic Palacio Nacional, a beautifully preserved landmark that reflects the city’s commercial heritage.

As you walk through traditional shopping passages and local streets, experience everyday life in Medellín away from the typical tourist crowds. Stop for a tasting of authentic Colombian street food, including a traditional empanada, buñuelo, and fresh Colombian coffee or a local fruit juice.

Next, explore the world-famous Plaza Botero, home to 23 monumental sculptures by renowned Colombian artist Fernando Botero. Admire the striking Gothic architecture of the Palace of Culture Rafael Uribe Uribe, one of Medellín’s most photographed buildings.

Conclude your tour at the spectacular Parque de las Luces (Plaza Cisneros), where 300 illuminated columns symbolize the remarkable transformation of Medellín’s downtown. It’s the perfect place to take memorable photos and understand how the city reinvented itself over the last few decades.
