Nestled in the stunning Aburra Valley in the mountainous Antioquia, Medellin is the city with an ever changing pulse. This modern city with a population of 2.3 million is the capital of Antioquia Department in Colombia.
Situated at a height of 5000ft above sea level, it enjoys a humid sub-tropical climate. The city’s average annual temperature hovers around 22ºC, enveloping its people in a pleasant ambience.
More famously known as the drug capital of the world, Medellin, the ‘city of eternal spring’ is witnessing a renaissance. Today, it is outpacing other major Colombian cities in urban development and is home to a diverse migrant populace who sell anything from guinea pigs to crayons to make a living. For spectacular cultural encounters and sheer vividity of experiences, Medellin has few parallels.
