Discover one of the most important cultures in Colombia : the Paisas. Medellin’s Historic Center is the best place to understand who we were and who we are today.
Walk through the city with local Paisa guides and learn how Medellin transformed a violent past marked by drug trafficking in the 1980s and 1990s into an innovative, inclusive, and resilient city. Through social investment and collective effort, Medellín reinvented itself as the City of Eternal Spring.
On this guided tour, we visit key spots such as Botero’s Square, Junín Street, La Alpujarra, and the Park of Lights, exploring art, culture, industry, and history without taboos.
The tour includes a professional wireless audio system, allowing you to clearly hear your guide while moving freely and taking photos, even on busy streets.
Important note: the audio system is not suitable for children under 15 and is not waterproof.
Join an authentic experience LED by passionate local guides connecting Colombia since 2013.
