Nature · Medellín
Do not jump or dive into these pools. Depth changes with rainfall and submerged rocks and logs are not marked — this is a recognised cause of spinal injury and drowning in Colombian charcos. Rivers run high and cloudy after heavy rain and we cancel when they do.
Deep green river pools in the eastern Antioquian hills, surrounded by forest, where Medellinenses go at weekends to swim and cook by the water. Warm, low and about as far from a city as an hour and a half gets you.
Private vehicle and a guide who knows which pools are empty on the day, rather than the one everyone stops at.

The hillside barrio that went from the most feared address in Medellín to an open-air gallery, walked with someone who grew up in it. Outdoor escalators, murals with meanings, and the 2002 military operation told by the people it happened to.

Food & Drink
The Graffitour route taken slowly and eaten through — mango biche with salt and lime, obleas, chorizo from the grill halfway up, and a cold Club Colombia at the top with the whole valley below you.

Culture
Twenty-three fat bronze Boteros standing in a public square, and upstairs the best collection of Colombian art outside Bogotá. The museum also holds the country’s most uncomfortable modern painting, and we will show you it.
