— About Exploring Colombia —
Colombia, a country which many only know because of it’s violent past, has been on my list since I went to South America for my first long-term trip in 2012. 6 Years later and with 5 weeks to spend it was finally time to properly explore my country number 9 on the continent.
For the first part of the trip I’ll be traveling with my mate David to the historical city of Cartagena, some picturesque Carribean islands and to the city of Medellin where we get to learn about the violent past and the transformation of the country. After a few days in the capital Bogota I’ll be joined by my good friend Stefan to learn salsa and take on some outdoor adventures in Cali before heading up to Santa Marta where we checkout the most beautiful beaches, float down rivers and hike through the mountains.

You Need to Visit MEDELLIN. Is it Safe? Is it Dangerous? We love Colombia ❤️City Travel Guide ????????
So many people have asked and expressed concern about the safety of Colombia and in particular Medellin when we mentioned going there. People have many outdated notions of Medellin and immediately thing of drugs and cartels. In this video we discuss our feelings of safety while exploring the city!
Save $40cad on your next hotel booking here ????
To start things off we take public transportation using both the metro and cable cars (which are integrated into the public transportation system) to reach Arví Park. At first we were a bit confused about where to go in the park but eventually we come across a beautiful picnic park with walking trails, a stream and a bridge.
The next day we head out on a free Medellin Walking Tour with Zippy Tours ( to explore the neighbourhood of Comuna 13. Back when the city was run by cartels and Pablo Escobar this was considered one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in the entire world. Nowadays its a vibrant area with amazing street art/graffiti that tells the story of this community. The tours are given by members of the community so you get to hear first hand experiences of living there, and how the community pulled through. Along the way we heard many stories, saw some amazing street art, went up the famous escalators, and saw some fabulous street dancing.
All in all we felt very safe throughout those two days spent in Medellin but we always advise everyone to do their research and be aware of their surroundings.

COMUNA 13 - MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA | Eileen Aldis
In this vlog we visit Comuna 13 in Medellín, Colombia. This neighbourhood of over 156,000 people was once considered the most dangerous place in South America. It has been transforming since 2002 and is symbolic of the broader transformation of Medellín and Colombia. In 2015, the Colombian government installed escalators that allow people to travel up and down the steep hills quickly and easily. The installation of a metro cable as part of the public transportation has also played a role in increasing the accessibility of this part of the city. Our guide, Walter, told us about the history of the neighbourhood and how an art school called Casa Kolacho has been, and continues to be, instrumental in keeping children and teenagers away from gangs by teaching them how to paint graffiti, breakdance, and rap. For this reason, hip-hop culture is extremely important to the people here. The colourful graffiti tells the stories of Medellín's violent past, particularly in Comuna 13. A football pitch that was once the site of public executions is now a space for children to play. Images of elephants are prevalent as they represent long memory. Colombians want to remember what has happened here so that some things will not be repeated in the future. There are many other social programs and supports that continue to help Comuna 13 revitalize and renew. It now stands as an example for other parts of the world that massive change is possible. This was my favourite part of Medellín and the best day we spent exploring the city.
I highly recommend taking the tour we did, which you can learn more about here:

THE BEST MEDELLIN VLOG EVER?????????????COLOMBIAN GIRLS, STREET FOOD, INSANE METROCABLE TOUR VIEW!!????????
Video Not Available? Go watch on FACEBOOK! --
One of the top tourist attractions in Medellín is the Medellin Metrocable ride. You go right over Santa Domingo, a neighborhood built into the mountain. For locals the gondola ride is the regular commute system. For tourists it's the way up into Parque Arvi, a big national forest over the mountain.
The best part is the amazing views of the city along the way, and observing the sights and colors directly above a local Colombian neighborhood, known as the favelas or comunas, they say once was Medellin's most dangerous area during the Pablo Escobar era.
Lift Tickets are only 5000 pesos per person for one-way, less than $2USD. It's clean and easy.
When you get to Parque Arví there are some food booths, we try the Fiambres. A rice blend with chicharrón aka fried pork belly aka super bacon, plantains, egg and a potato mash mix. Not bad. You can also go on nature walks thru the park but we didn't have time.
On the way down, there's a short walk across a local street as you transfer lift stations. Perfect opportunity to sample some local streetfood carts.
First thing I saw was these cheese pancake things, tasted like a grilled cheese sandwich all mixed up! Good! And also a mashed plantain aka mashed banana pancake, topped with cheese and sweet milk lol. Not bad!! Try it!
Later we check into a new Medellin Airbnb, a 3 bedroom apartment in El Poblado district for around $180 USD a night.
More Metrocable tips on TripAdvisor:
First cafe:
Cafe Al Alma - La Strada Mall
Last restaurant:
Restaurante BARCAL - 5 star food at local prices. Recommended if u are a foodie and want to try some CRAZY Top-Chef type concoctions such as grilled octopus over crumbled Popcorn;) (Check my instagram) Was only around $30USD per person including appetizers and dessert! (Olive oil ice cream w mango and passion fruit!) At home would've been at least double the price for this food!

The Nightlife in Medellin, Colombia (El Poblado)
AirBNB Rental:
Colombian girls and guys enjoy the nightlife like no others. Having a good time is cherished like nowhere else. Medellin and Bogota have growing nightlife scenes that I can confirm personally are the most fun with the best night clubs in Latin America. I have traveled a bit, and I think Colombian nightlife is the best in the world. Go out with a great attitude, and head out with friends, it's the best way to meet people, especially local girls and guys. Also, get out there and dance, Colombians love to see you trying, and you may even want to ask for a lesson!

RIDING THE METROCABLE IN MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA | Eileen Aldis
Ver más vídeos en español:
Among other things, Medellín is known for its incredible Metrocable, an extensive network of gondola cars that stretch up into the surrounding mountains. In the past, Medellín was called the most dangerous city in the world. If you lived in the neighbourhoods further away from the centre, it was difficult to get into the city for important things like work, school, and food. The Metrocable improves accessibility and has been a huge factor in transforming the city. We decided to ride it ourselves and - WOW - it's an incredible way to get a bird's eye view of the sprawling city. It's public transit as well so the cost is low. I made friends with someone in the same car and we chatted about Colombia and how he takes the Metrocable to his university each day. Marc and I got out at Santo Domingo and transferred to the second Metrocable line which goes so high up we could see the clouds beneath us! It takes you across the top of the mountain and lets you off at Parque Arví, an ecological nature reserve full of gorgeous trees. There are nature trails, archaeological sites, and a market where we ate delicious empanadas and tried Colombian fruit from a woman who grows it in her garden. The uchuva is my new favourite! I loved experiencing the Metrocable and definitely recommend riding it if you're in Medellín.
Have you ridden the Metrocable in Medellín? Is it a place you'd like to visit someday? Please leave a comment below and let me know!
