Medellín

Medellín's Botanical Garden, with its Orquideorama — an architectural marvel of wooden 'trees' sheltering orchids — symbolizes the city: nature, design and rebirth.

The paisa — the Antioquian — is famous for hospitality, a melodic accent and a culture of work: the phrase 'medellinense de corazón' reflects the pride of a region that built its destiny on coffee and industry.

El Peñol — a 200-meter monolith rising from the Guatapé reservoir — is Antioquia's natural icon: 740 steps carved into the rock lead to a 360° view over an archipelago of green islands scattered across turquoise water.

Golf in Medellín is played among hills of eternal spring: Club Campestre and Club El Rodeo offer championship courses at 1,500 meters, with perfect weather ten months a year.
