Think you know Colombia? Think again and discover delightful Medellin.

Since first visiting Medellin in the year 2000, this wonderful city has changed in significant ways. My wife was born here and we visit every year for several months. It is my personal goal to provide insight into the best of the city for both visitors and people considering moving here.

Our guide will pay particular attention to quality in terms of restaurants, facilities, hotels, art and culture and we will strive to present these in a manner respect worthy to the inhabitants of this beautiful city.





Surrounded by breathtaking mountains, at an altitude of 1500m (4921 feet), lies the subtropical Aburrá valley that is home to Medellin, otherwise known as the city of eternal spring.

The city has become a second home to me. I have family here and grow to learn more about its culture, history and people year after year.



Medellin is diversified in all senses. Rich in color, sites, varying neighborhoods and economies, this is a complex and fascinating city that takes time to get to know.

Gradually, I am coming to know and understand its charming people, their history and the present. It would be a mistake for me to assume this is a simple place. It's not.

The city has seen tough times and I believe that a lot of strength and humility has grown from this. There's a lot to be learned here.

The beautiful surrounding landscape promises experiences of adventure and sports such as golf, hiking, paragliding and white water rafting.

Hotels extend first-rate service, amenities and value for money. Restaurants are affordable, varying from tasty Colombian to Italian, Chinese and Japanese.


There are direct flights to Miami and New York and only 35 minutes by plane to the capital Bogota that connects directly to several European destinations.

Colombia is changing. The economy is booming, safety levels rising greatly and the standard of living on the increase.


Enjoy the tropical fruits and fresh juices, wander around the famous textile district of Itagui. Take a day-trip to the village of Santa Fe de Antioquia with its Spanish colonial architecture, Carmen de Viboral for its potery, El Retiro or to Rionegro where you can enjoy the rolling hills, lakes and abundance of flowers.
