What you’ll do

Discover a reborn Medellín off the tourist track with a street smart local who knows all the hidden gems, like just the right narrow streets to pop through for a look at murals of local heroes away from the crowded street art in barrio Comuna 13, and see the curious hat-like architecture of two nearby churches. Witness hopeful transformation atop an urban jungle once a garbage dump in promising neighborhood Moravia, but skip the crowds to rub shoulders with foot-stamping locals at a cultural center. Nearby a famous street in touristy barrio El Poblado, see where Paisas hustle at a farmer's market and take note where you can join the community for street-closing Zumba dances on a Sunday. Energized? Your host has hints on what to try on the rest of your trip.
