Culture · Medellín
Difficult subject matter throughout, including testimony about killings and disappearance. Not suitable for younger children.
The museum Medellín built for its own victims — of the cartels, the paramilitaries, the guerrillas and the state. It is quiet, unsentimental and the single most useful hour you can spend understanding the city.
A private guide who can put the exhibits in sequence, and time afterwards to talk it through rather than being moved along.

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.
