Frequently asked questions
Is a week too long for Medellín?
No. A week lets you see the city calmly and take three or four of the best day trips around it.
What day trips should I take from Medellín?
Guatapé is the must. A coffee farm, San Félix and Santa Fe de Antioquia are easy additions; Jardín and Río Claro are better with an overnight stay.
