Highlights
  • Second Mirador De Palmas - 1) After being picked up in a comfortable and private transportation, we’ll start driving up the Andes mountains, where we start seeing the city from a higher point every time, just expanding in front of our eyes, accompanied by the Andes mountain range like it’s cuddling Medellín.

Our first stop is the beautiful “Mirador Las Palmas”, a very traditional viewpoint loved by the locals, they come here any time of the day just to relax and enjoy the view, at night it’s even more beautiful, where we can see all the lights just crawling up to the peak of the mountains.

  • El Zarzal - Our second, going higher up the mountain, is “Zarzal Bar” typical rest stop, one of the most famous “Miradores” of the city, where we get to see Medellín and all its surroundings from the highest part of the city, locals love to come here and hang out, with their couples, family and friends.

We’ll have our traditional and delicious “CHOCOLATE WITH CHEESE”, In this traditional Colombian treat, a piece of mild, fresh cheese is paired with a hot and delicious dark chocolate. The cheese and chocolate are typically served side by side or layered together. The contrast between the creamy, slightly salty cheese and the sweet chocolate creates a unique flavor experience that many Colombians love!!

We’’ll have also “PATACONES CON HOGAO”, is a Colombian dish that combines two beloved elements of Colombian cuisine: patacones and Hoga’o (Green plantains with toppings).

  • Parque de Sabaneta - 3) After Zarzal, we’ll drive to our second stop, the most populated city of Colombia, Sabaneta, we’ll drive through its local streets and visit its beautiful colorful park, we’ll be greeted by the delightful blend of natural beauty and urban charm.

The park offers a tranquil escape where friendly locals love sitting and chatting, admiring vibrant flowers, plants and trees, and relax by the soothing fountain, here, we’ll enjoy some delicious “BUÑUELOS”, a cherished Colombian treat that you’ll find all year, but particularly around Christmas time, shaped into small balls and fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside.

We’ll also try here our delicious “AREPA DE CHOCOLO”, enjoying like a real local, just sitting and observing the magical vibe of the city.

Can’t miss the “PAN DE QUESO”, known as one of the best breads in the world!! You’ll find out why we’re so proud of this small, delicious and flavorful bread.

  • Parque de Sabaneta - We’ll also try the “BUTIFARRA”, holds a special place in the country’s culinary scene, is a delicious, traditional, small and flavorful sousage, made from seasoned ground pork, grilled with seasoning and a little spice, simply perfect.

We can’t miss a shot of our most traditional drinks and a typical bar, “AGUARDIENTE ANTIOQUEÑO & RUM”, a liquorish drink with an essence of anis flavored tones, it’s the favorite drink of our region, perfect for exalting Colombians passion for gathering up, dancing and partying.

Our next snack, is one of our most famous desserts, we’ll have the crunchy and flavorful “OBLEA”, a beloved Colombian dessert that have been enjoyed for generations on different regions. These thin, crispy wafers are made from a delicious batter consisting of wheat flour and cornstarch.

  • The Eight Wonder Bar - 3) Our third stop would be the magical and most famous local restaurant in Sabaneta called “THE EIGHT WONDER”, just a few minutes away from the main square, high above in the mountains, this restaurant offers a vantage point to witness the city’s nocturnal transformation. We’ll have some delicious “EMPANADAS”, your senses will be treated to the spectacle of Medellín’s magical scenery and shimmering skyline below. The atmosphere is filled with a good vibe and Colombian music, making it an ideal setting for a unforgettable ending.

Medellín Food Tour - My husband and I went on this tour with our friend. Our guide Laura picked us up at our hotel and took us to several different places. We tried hot chocolate with cheese on the bottom, empanadas, local desserts, and several other typical foods. We had a great time learning about the history, culture, and food of the city. Make sure you’re hungry before heading out on this adventure!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! - We took this tour since we wanted to visit some viewpoints around Medellin, we heard this city has crazy scenery and beautiful mountains, and we really wanted to explore the food culture as well. We were blown away, the viewpoints were amazing, you can really absorb how big the city is from the different sites. Our guide Diego was friendly and knowledgeable, it was like taking a tour with an old friend. The food was incredible, so many flavors!!! the patacones, the chocolate with cheese, the arepa de Choclo, the buñuelo and oblea were our favorite, although all the other bites were delicious, Colombia really has a diverse and fantastic gastronomy, the shot of Aguardiente was the highlight in a little local and colorful tavern, we even took a bottle for the night, we had so much food we didn’t even had to eat dinner. Very fun and completely recommended!!

Top Quality Tour through the Torrential Rain - We enjoyed our trip immensely. Even though we had a down pour of rain, our guide Laura still gave us a great tour of the city views. Laura was knowledgeable and friendly. We absolutely enjoyed having Laura as our guide. We took the evening trip as we wanted to see the city lights. I would highly recommend this tour. The food we ate was delicious.

Underwhelming Food Tour - The food was very underwhelming, past food tours provided more substantial offerings that would suffice as dinner. The last stop for empanadas we had to request, our guide was not going to provide, he advise location was closed. Tour did not offer a good value at $75US per person.
