    This replica of a typical Paisa village us situated on top of the Cerro Nutibarra. With souvenir shops and open air cafes it's anice place to relax, besides it provides an amazing view over that nice red city. It turly does give you a good idea what the typical village of the area looks like, with its colourful houses, a tiny local chirch, courtyards and patios, small shops and a fountain in the middle of the village. After i went to Santa fe de Antioquia, i realised that the two look almost exactly the same - the town is built up in the exact same way as the replica indicates. So if you don't have time to go to the surrounding towns, the Pueblito Paisa gives you a good idea of the local villages, and the view is truly breathtaking.

    Park of the bare feet
  • Tip Rating:
  • El Parque de los Pies Descalzos is one of the most popular parks in Medellin. Comfortably surrounded by trees, it provides a perfect hiding place for couples and lovers, who look for privacy under the surrounding trees and bushes. The park also has several open air cafes which provide a good place for people watching and relaxing. On the other side of the park you'll find huge chess-boards, where you can actually play - a great and interesting pass-time.

    Climbing the Cerro Nutibarra
  • Tip Rating:
  • The mountain of Cerro Nutibarra is a great place to get a nice view of Medellin from. It's not too high, so the climb is not that difficult. And on top of the mountain is the Pueblito Paisa - a replica of a typical paisa town, which is full of souvenire shops and street vendors. A nice place and an interseting activity.

    Santa fe de Antioquia
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a really nice little town in the mountains about 100 km from Medellin. A typical paisa town. A really amazing place and the busride up the mountains is really cool and gives a great view on the surrounding villages and nature.

    Rio Medellin
  • Tip Rating:
  • This small river is at this time polluted, but there are plans to clean it up. For christmas it is elaborately decorated, and when all this is lighted up at night, the view is truly beautiful.
