Adventure · Medellín
You must be a competent swimmer. Buoyancy aids and helmets are worn throughout. Trips are cancelled at high water and that decision is the river guide’s.
Grade II–IV rafting near Cocorná, an hour and a half from the city, through a warm forested gorge. Enough water to be genuinely exciting and enough guiding not to be stupid.
Private raft with your own guide, a longer section, and a hot lunch on the bank rather than a packed one.

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.
