Medellin
A fresh look at Medellin
Colombia
If all you know of Medellín is its troubled past, you’re in for a nice surprise. The Colombia of conflict and cartels has largely disappeared, replaced by a rejuvenated, progressive, forward thinking city and a resilient culture that refuses to be bogged down by the dark days. This young and vibrant city is full of surprises and spectacular scenery. Visitors experience a Colombia that insiders have known for a long time: tranquil Caribbean beaches, sleepy colonial villages nestled within the towering Andes, ocre-colored deserts that spill into the sea, unspoiled jungles and mysterious ruins.
Having gone through major development over the past two decades, Medellin is setting the world standard for urban development and is one of the most modern and technologically advanced in Latin America. With world-class healthcare, excellent-value real estate, and a solid infrastructure that includes Colombia’s only Metro system, Medellin is fast becoming the new “it city”.
