The Experience

The tour starts at MOVE, a block from Bulevar de la 70, the city's hub for food and nightlife. From there you ride to Primer Parque de Laureles, a neighborhood that has been ranked among the coolest in the world. The streets around the park are lined with restaurants and cafes serving everything from bandeja paisa and arepas to international cuisine, and the guide will explain how the bohemian vibe and tree-lined streets have made it a safe, dynamic place where locals and visitors mix. You'll pass through Parque de Belén, a traditional neighborhood where families gather for recreation, and the Belén Sports Unit, a multifunctional complex that shows Medellín's commitment to sport and physical activity.

After lunch, the route takes you through Parques del Río, an urban project that weaves nature back into the city with green spaces and pedestrian bridges. You'll reach Barefoot Park, an urban oasis in the center designed for relaxation—its name invites you to take off your shoes and walk its fountains and paths. The guide will point out the Intelligent Building and La Alpujarra, the city's administrative heart, and the historic Antioquia Railway, a symbol of the region's industrial past. The Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture, built in 1925 in neo-Gothic style, now hosts exhibitions and concerts; its imposing façade reflects Medellín's cultural heritage.

The final stretch passes Bolívar Park and Parque Berrío, one of the oldest parks in the city center, where the statue of Pedro de Heredia stands among historic buildings. You end at the Park of Lights, also called Plaza Cisneros, an emblematic space in Medellín's transformation. The park's 300 light towers, rising up to 24 meters and interspersed with water fountains and seating, illuminate at nightfall and symbolize the city's renewal. The route circles back to MOVE.
