Itinerary

At first, you will meet the tour guide and the rest of your group at Poblado Metro Station. Once there you will take the Metro to Parque Berrio Station.

After visiting Botero Square, you will keep walking around and you will visit other interesting sites such as: Las Luces Park, La Alpujarra and the old Palace of Justice. Las Luces Park (El Parque de las Luces) combines architecture and culture to create an interesting scenario. The charm of this square lies in the 300 columns of light, each one 24 meters high. On the other side, la Alpujarra gathers the government buildings and important monuments for Medellin’s history. With this you will learn different sides of the city.

Close to La Alpujarra you will find Parque de los Pies Descalzos, which means the Barefoot Park. It is a thematic space created with the purpose of inviting visitors to go barefoot and get in touch with nature. The perfect place to have a relaxing time in the middle of the city and to have a short break. Afterwards you will visit old Antioquia’s railroad station to finish the tour.
