"Medellín’s urban renewal, following decades as one of the world’s murder capitals, has drawn international attention. Perhaps nothing symbolizes the revival more than the Metrocable, a system of cable cars that connect the city center to steep hillside neighborhoods that were once reckoned to be the city’s most dangerous. Grab a ride on Line K up to Santo Domingo and treat yourself to spectacular views. Once on the ground again, take a short wander around the neighborhood for a taste of the real Medellín and its friendly residents (known as Paisas), and see the small shops and the beautiful library whose original benefactor was the government of Spain . From Santo Domingo, another cable car continues to Parque Arví, an expansive nature reserve and weekend escape favored by overheated locals. By Travesías"

What a gem to see when you visit Medellin. It’s a very large park and most of it can only be seen by bus, bike, motorbike or car. However, the gondola ride up has amazing views of the city and valley and their are a few walking paths close to the gondola station, which you pay to enter. There are lots of birds, trees and plants to see and many food and drink vendors. You can also hire a guide or rent a horse. I highly recommend it.

The cable car is superb with excellent views across Medellin and Arvi Park. When in the park, the tours are very interesting with a lot to see. Plenty of stalls offering food and drink at the start which are very good value.

A trip to Parque Arvi is a great way to enjoy the surrounding mountains of Medellin, enjoy nature, and get out of the city for some tranquility. Lots of hiking trails, picnic area, food, crafts, and coffee shop all easily accessible from Medellin Metro. We saw a beautiful Kingfisher sitting in a tree.

Great outdoor adventure near Medellin. Very beautiful. Lots of good hiking. Gift shop plus snack bar available and very reasonable. I enjoyed the cable car ride up to the park - great views of the city and park. Would definitely go back. So much to see and do if you enjoy the outdoors

A stunning place away from the city's hustle in the midst of nature. A must visit if you are traveling to Medellin..not far away from the city center and you can easily get there with public transportation..in fact, would highly recommend taking the cable car as it offers stunning views of the surroundings! We did the hike (the loop trail) in about 45 minutes. Although the trail is a bit dense, it's very safe with good instructions throughout so you won't get lost..Nice stalls for food, drinks, trinkets and other Colombian traditional stuff if you want to make a purchase. Plan for at least half a day visit!

What a gorgeous park. Great paths for walking and seeing birds, flowers and mushrooms. We also did the biking tour, which was totally worth it.
