Botanical Garden and Arvi Park Tour - Our tour guide, Artur was fun, knowledgeable and was good at bringing us around the city using public transportation, Metro and MetroCable. It was a great experience, saw a few humming birds at the Botanical Garden and decided next time we go to Medellin we want to spend a whole day at Arvi Park.

Parenthesis - What a joy to discover after the telecable trip. A place of greenery and calm so close to the atmosphere of the city. Wonderful walks are possible or just lie in the grass and listen to the birds

Botanical Garden in Medellin - The place is very well looked after, with lots of flowers and trees, and the city's nickname of eternal spring is very well represented in this place. It also has a wonderful restaurant, overlooking the beauty of the garden. I loved.

A nice walk, but not educational on the tour topic - Our tour guide was fun and was good at bringing us around the city to the locations. However, the tour company is not hiring naturalists for this tour so unfortunately our guide knew less about the flora than I did. If you want a guided walk around the gardens and park, this tour is great for you. If you want to learn about the flora and fauna at the locations, which we did, then this tour is not for you. You can hire a naturalist directly from Arvi Park and that would be the way to go.
