If you delve into the history of Medellín, you will understand why phenomena such as economic prosperity, past violence, and subsequent pacification have occurred. Our agency uses the approach and techniques of journalism, so participating in our tours is an experience very close to making a report. For years we have studied and explored the city and all the information we have collected we will transmit to you in a super fun way. You will enjoy the most representative places of the city and listen to stories that help you understand its historical and cultural value.

Each traveler will receive a copy of "Medellín Up Close – Medellín de cerca", an artistic book created by our team, which was awarded by the Colombian Ministry of Culture. It is a practical book that you can carry without problems on the plane, since it only weighs 334 grams. It will be an excellent gift for yourself or your friends and family.

This tour includes lunch.
