Alumbrados Medellin (Medellin Christmas Lights)

This rather spectacular spectacle of literally millions of lights along the Medellin river, is both beautiful and fascinating. During Christmas, you can walk at night by the river and take in the show, much of which is in motion; a bit like an animated light show. It´s very peaceful and worth the visit.
