Colombia 🇨🇴 | A Carnival of Colors in Medellín

Inspired by Narcos yet utterly enchanted by its rebirth, Medellín—once synonymous with chaos—now dazzles with vibrant street art, affordable eats, and a creative pulse. One day here wasn’t enough! ☀️ Climate Pro Tip: Perfect "eternal spring" weather—no scorching heat or mosquitoes, but pack sunscreen, a rain jacket, and layers for cool evenings. Must-Do Experiences 1️⃣ Comuna 13 Escalator 🎨 • Uber directly here; crowds = pickpocket risk (no violent crime) • Wander side alleys for hidden murals 📸 • Eat/Drink: Restaurante Bar Mirador Enfoque Urbano (top floor for city views; skip the fish, try chicken) Cafés de Origen (pricey beans, but worth it!) ☕ 2️⃣ San Javier Cable Car 🚡 • 15-min walk from Comuna 13 to metro → buy shared cable car tickets • Ride round-trip for slum vistas; stop at 4th station for epic lookout 3️⃣ Plaza Botero 🎭 • Showcases Botero’s iconic "chubby" sculptures • Safety first: Visit by day, taxi in/out 4️⃣ Pueblito Paisa - Cerro Nutibara 🌅 • Hilltop replica village = sunset gold • Bargain hard for handicrafts (Wayuu bags, pottery cars) 🛍️ ✨ Magic Dining: Alambique • Book via WhatsApp—this place packs up! • Step into a fantasy forest 🌳 with "spellbook" menus • Must-orders: Buñuelo basket, chicharrón (pork crackling), and their infused drinks 🍹 Verdict: Medellín is a phoenix—rising from ashes into a kaleidoscope of art, flavor, and warmth. I’ll be back. #MedellinVibes #ColombiaTravel #StreetArtCapital
