Parque de la bailarina — Attraction in Medellín

I've lived in SF and NY, so this is the third most beautiful park I've ever been in. I keep coming back. The sounds were astonishing during a rain. Another day, the sunshine poured through the canopy while locals, presumably, had lunch, coffee, read books, worked out with the machines provided and played games. I was told iguanas are around, though didn't see any.

At the Memory House Museum today I found out why it's called Ballerina Park, a heartbreaking tale. But it makes me want to return yet again, just to be, just to listen, just to watch and to...

Español: Un parque realmente especial en medio de Astorga, rodeado de árboles frondosos y senderos tranquilos. Ideal para caminar con perros, muchos dueños se reúnen por la tarde, alrededor de las 5:30 p.m., y se siente una vibra muy amigable. Hay una parte del parque con una vista increíble de la ciudad y las montañas. Si tienes suerte, puedes ver hasta 12 guacamayas volando o posadas en el árbol más grande del parque, especialmente en las mañanas hacia las 9 a.m. o en la tarde tipo 3 o 4. Ver esas aves tan coloridas en plena ciudad es algo único. También tiene zonas con máquinas de ejercicio y varios espacios para sentarse y relajarse. Es un lugar muy verde, bien cuidado y perfecto para desconectar un rato.

A couple of blocks away from Poblado Park, this small park is worth visiting if you decide to come to El Poblado. Beautiful views of the city and small trails to walk around. The park is small but you can come downhill to make it a bit more challenging. Locals use the place to bring their pets, walk or or run through the paths. The park is very well maintained and is quite clean. We felt it was...
