Colombia is quite simply an amazing country for doing sports. Learn about different options in Medellin and also around Colombia.


Picture the possibilities for doing sports in Colombia's varying landscape from glacial mountain regions to rainforest and even desert.

Consider the abundance of rivers, high altitude temperate climates and coastlines on both the Pacific and Atlantic (Caribbean) oceans.

There are coral reefs, pristine beaches, numerous islands, hills and mountains that all form fantastic sports opportunities.

Additionally, in the city there are plenty of possibilities for swimming, playing tennis, doing track and field, even scuba diving in the lakes around Medellin.

There is horse riding, hiking, paragliding and golf. Something for everyone and the trick is to find out where to go.


TENNIS

Recently, tennis has become a passion for me and there are excellent clay courts at Estadio. Estadio (Stadium) is as you'd imagine a venue for a number of different sporting leagues and clubs.

At Estadio you will find the best tennis store in Medellin called Liga de Tenis located at:
Liga Antioquenia de Tenis de Campo
Calle 49 No.73-04
Mon – Fri 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Sat 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.


This is where the pros and instructors go, the pricing is good and the wonderful couple who run the store are helpful and knowledgeable. (Their son has a full scholarship to study in the US while pursuing a tennis career so they know a thing or two about the sport)



You can buy or have rackets restrung and they carry a good selection of specialized tennis equipment.

This is also one of the best places to play or have tennis lessons in Medellin.
