Traffic Information

Medellín is the second-largest city in Colombia and as such traffic can become extremely busy during rush hour, especially in El Centro. To avoid the gridlock avoid driving early in the morning and between 5 pm and 7:30 pm. There are a lot of motorcyclists in the city so while you are driving be aware and check your mirrors; many weave in and out of the lanes to avoid the traffic delays. All that said, the city is taking precautions such as license plate restrictions on morning traffic and new metro lines, and the traffic is not as bad as much larger Latin American cities.


Sixt Tips

With excellent art galleries, Latin American cuisine and incredible architecture more and more tourists are flocking to Medellín. Your first stop should probably be Plaza Botero in El Centro to see the statues by the beloved artist Fernando Botero. It is also the site of the Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture that houses a photographic and historical archive of the city as well as the famous Museo de Antioquia that exhibits many paintings by Botero amongst other masterpieces.

Just to the north of El Centro is the Jardin Botanico that offers a peaceful (and free!) getaway from the hustle and bustle. Here you can see a variety of birds, an orchid garden, a butterfly house and even iguanas. There is also a small lake that is a great place to unwind. Adjacent to the Jardin Botanico is the science museum Parque Explora, with interactive exhibits that appeal to both adults and children. We also recommend taking the recently installed gondola cable cars to get great views of the city. You can also reach the beautiful Parque Arvi nature reserve by cable car and explore its hiking trails on foot.


Sightseeing Destinations

If you are hungry to experience some more nature, El Salado Ecological Park is just a short drive from Medellín and has great amenities for children. There is a skateboard park, climbing wall and playground as well as a BBQ area. Just up the road from here are the impressive Angel Falls waterfalls (Cascada Salto del Ángel). The waterfalls are accessible in the dry season and there are ropes to help you hike beside the falls.

To visit a quieter town in the region head over to Santa Fe de Antioquia with its colonial era whitewashed buildings and beautiful cathedral. It is a quiet town to wander through and the main square has some excellent eateries cooking up Colombian cuisine. We also recommend you check out the Puente de Occidente suspension bridge nearby. Now a national monument, the bridge was built in 1887 and spans the Cauca River.

Distances from Medellín

  • To El Salado Ecological Park via Calvas Envigado: 10 miles in 25 minutes
  • To Santa Fe de Antioquia via Route 62: 35 miles in 1 hour and 15 minutes
