Description
Make the most out of your time in half a day and join this Medellín City Tour. Get to know the most beautiful and relevant places in the capital city of Antioquia while a knowledgeable guide makes sure you learn as much as you like about Colombian culture and history.
Your next stop will be at Plaza Botero, right in the center of Medellín, where you will discover the unique style of Fernando Botero, one of Colombia´s most famous artists. As you look at the proportionally exaggerated sculptures, you will learn about Botero’s sense of humor and irony. Afterward, you will admire the world’s largest collection of his paintings in the adjacent Museum of Antioquia and have a look at pre-Hispanic, Colonial and Contemporary art and much more.
Then, you will walk to Berrío Square, considered the heart of the city that was built in 1680. Located in the middle of the square you can see the Statue of Pedro Justo Berrío, who was once the governor of Antioquia and an important politician for Medellín and Colombia. From there, you will walk to Junín Passage, a pedestrian street with all sorts of shops and local shops, bustling with street vendors and lively local life. After walking this little “rambla” for some minutes, you will go to Plaza de Bolívar, a place that holds the breathtaking Cathedral of Medellin where local tango singers folk together.
After hearing fascinating facts and stories about the city, its art, and people, the Medellín City Tour will end in its posh and most famous neighborhood El Poblado at Parque Lleras. Tourists, as well as locals, love to enjoy the nightlife in El Poblado, so make sure you come back and don’t miss out on the experience. At last, it’s up to you, return to your hotel or stay in the area and check out one of the excellent restaurants the guide can recommend.

“INCREDIBLE MULTIDAY TRIPS IN COLOMBIA”
★★★★★
Maria the Naturalist (5 days in the Tayrona and Minca) and Catalina The Outdoorsy (6 day in the Coffee Region) (October/November 2016). Organisation was very professional. On both trips we had great guides. Their enthusiasm for Colombia, its nature and its people was palpable. We got to see amazing places, accommodations were at high level and local food was always delicious. We can defenitely recommend Destino Bogota (Now Impulse Travel)....they showed us Colombia off the beaten track.

“AMAZING TRIP THANKS TO IMPULSE TRAVEL”
★★★★★
Destino Bogota (now Impulse Travel) did an amazing job organizing my family's vacation to Colombia! We were traveling throughout Colombia with two children, ages 6 and 7. Sebastian did everything for us from creating our itinerary, to booking our hotels, flights and transportation. He also arranged for fabulous guides that really helped us to get to know the cities and places that we were staying. During the entire planning process and our stay in Colombia, Sebastian was available to answer questions and make suggestions. Our trip was awesome! The hotels were fabulous! The guides were knowledgeable and helpful with the children! The transportation was always on time with clean cars and helpful drivers. This agency provides superior service. I am grateful for all of their hard work to make our trip to Colombia so amazing! I highly recommend them for their professionalism, organization, knowledge of Colombia and great service.

“EXCELLENT, PERSONABLE AND RELIABLE SERVICE”
★★★★★
I recently used Destino Bogota (now Impulse Travel) for both tours and airport transfers when I visited both Bogota and Cartagena. All of the guides and drivers were extremely personable, professional, informative, and reliable. Rodrigo was always there to answer any questions I had and to make sure that I received all of the tours and services that I booked. The tours I took with them were the highlight of my trip and gave me a great insight of Colombia. I would definitely use their services if I ever had the opportunity to visit Colombia and would strongly recommend Destino Bogota to anyone visiting Colombia.
