If you’re in Medellin right now or looking to visit, you want to plan the proper itinerary to get the most out of your trip. 9/10 out of 10 men come down here and squander away their vacation time sleeping during the day. But before you fly out, it’s important to know what is there to do in Medellin.
For many of you that might be fine. But we’re here to tell you that when you’re here with a group of friends be it a vacation, weekend away (or the always popular, bachelor parties in Medellin). Daytime activities can also provide great memories of this amazing city and country. So what is there to do in Medellin you ask?
Medellin’s weather and geographical location make it the perfect place for outdoor activities. Even if you’re not a very outdoorsy group of guys. Don’t underestimate the value of taking pictures during the day. This will give you something to show the gals back home.
For that reason, Medellin VIP has compiled a list of activities that go beyond conventional drinking and partying all night. Let Medellin VIP take you away from the alcohol (at least during the daytime) and show you what is there to do in Medellin.
Paragliding in Medellin
Medellin might not be the only city in the world where paragliding is possible. But it will be one where the experience is most astounding. The city sits between the Aburra Valley and it is when you go to the top of the mountains that you can appreciate a picturesque landscape.
Not to mention flying down with your friends while taking photos that will leave your colleagues back home green with envy. Paragliding in Medellin can be an easy and memorable experience with Medellin VIP.
Trips to Pueblos
For those still learning Spanish, a pueblo is a small town or village located outside of the city. Medellin is the capital of the department (state) of Antioquia which has 125 pueblos! Each pueblo offers different attractions and believe it or not, different weather conditions. You can find 90-degree weather in one and drive a few hours and find 40-degree weather in another.
Medellin might start to get settled by tourists looking to explore. But if you want to stay away from the touristy areas and want to get a sense of how Antioqueños live. We recommend a tour around surrounding pueblos. Note: Basic Spanish skills are necessary.
Eco-Tours and other Outdoor Activities
Other than paragliding there are a variety of different outdoor tours you and your group can take part in. To make your daytime experiences more fun. There are mountain hikes, whitewater rafting zip lining, and ATV tours to name a few. All these activities promote recreational feats that are a great option for large or small groups looking to get away from the apartment. I can’t tell you how many groups we’ve had in the past that spend their vacation time at the apartment.
Museums and Historic Landmarks
For those interested in a more cultural retreat, we also recommend the always fun cultural tours in Medellin.
On these tours, we take you to MAMM (Medellin’s Museum of Modern Art). Museo el Castillo and the always popular Plaza Botero. This is a square dedicated to one of the world’s most respected artists, Fernando Botero. We take you to museums and show you the more touristy side of the city.
