This chapter of the trip begins with a recap of our visit to Parque Arví and a memorable night out in Provenza before heading to one of Medellín’s most iconic viewpoints.

Our first stop is Pueblito Paisa, a replica of a traditional Antioquian town located atop Cerro Nutibara. From here, we enjoy panoramic views overlooking Medellín while learning more about the region’s culture and history.

The adventure continues through the city as we make our way toward Comuna 13, one of the most famous and inspiring neighborhoods in Colombia.

Join us for Part 4 Volume 2 of our Medellín, Colombia father-and-son travel adventure as we dive deeper into one of the city's most famous neighborhoods — Comuna 13.

After exploring Pueblito Paisa in Volume 1, we make our way to Comuna 13, a neighborhood that has become a symbol of transformation, resilience, creativity, and community in Medellín.

Known for its colorful murals, street performers, music, food vendors, local artists, and outdoor escalators, Comuna 13 is one of the most visited attractions in Colombia and offers visitors a unique look at the culture and spirit of Medellín.

Rather than calling another Uber, we decide to walk nearly two and a half miles through Medellín to the correct store. What starts as a simple shopping trip turns into another opportunity to experience the city from a local perspective and see areas of Medellín that most tourists never visit.

The mission? Finding Matthew's highly sought-after bottle of Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind Vodka before our trip comes to an end.

What Medellín Is REALLY Like in the Morning 🇨🇴 | Plaza Botero Walkthrough

Experience a different side of Medellín as we take an early morning walk through the historic downtown district and visit the famous Plaza Botero.

This bonus episode bridges the gap between Part 2 and Part 3 of our Medellín father-and-son travel series and offers a more authentic look at daily life in the city before the crowds arrive.

The morning begins at our hotel, where I talk about one of my favorite travel clothing brands and why lightweight, comfortable clothing is so important when traveling internationally. After breakfast, Matthew and I take an Uber into downtown Medellín to explore one of the city's most iconic public spaces.

Plaza Botero is home to 23 massive bronze sculptures created by renowned Colombian artist Fernando Botero. The oversized sculptures have become one of Medellín’s most recognizable landmarks and attract visitors from around the world.

As we walk through the plaza and surrounding streets, you'll get a real look at what Medellín is like in the morning before many of the shops and attractions become busy.

This video also highlights an important travel tip for visitors.

While Plaza Botero is one of Medellín’s most famous attractions and is generally safe for tourists who stay aware of their surroundings, the downtown area can also have visible homelessness, drug use, and petty crime—especially as the day progresses. Like many major cities around the world, situational awareness is important when exploring the area.

For us, the experience provided an opportunity to see a side of Medellín that many travel videos don't always show.

The city is vibrant, historic, artistic, and full of life, but it also faces challenges that travelers should understand before visiting.

After exploring Plaza Botero and the surrounding streets, we make our way to the Medellín Metro system and begin our journey toward Parque Arví, which continues in Part 3 of the series.

This episode is perfect for travelers researching Medellín, Colombia and wanting a realistic look at one of the city's most famous downtown attractions.
