Medellin was my last stop of my Colombian trip. I'm not a big city person but have heard so mcuh about Medellin I had to check it out. Yet I didn't feel like doing much, and didn't want to keep paying up for every single activities in town (market tour, pablo escobar tour, grafiti tour etc.) so I just decided to enjoy town as I felt but also taking time to relax, recharge batteries and prepare for the following adventure of my trip.
Due to a knee pain I even cancelled my trip to Guatape. I simply enjoyed some time with friends and visited a bit the surrounding of the town. Nested within a valley the surrounding of Medellín has plenty of lovely bike rides to enjoy.
Last but not least, an activity not be missed in town is a bit of Colombia night life! Mostly active around Parque Lleras.
