"An ecological preserve that serves as a protected natural area with forested trails and reserve-style nature experiences easily reachable from the urban area; as part of the wider greening push, it offers a conservation-focused escape that improves local air quality and provides opportunities for outdoor education and recreation." - Opheli Garcia Lawler
"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"

"A mountain park reachable by a beautiful gondola ride straight from the subway, Parque Arví spans about 16,000 hectares with trails that date back over 1,500 years; at the entrance there’s a small market of local vendors and mostly easy hikes, admission is free, and guided tours cost 60,000 COP (in Spanish only)." - Matthew Kepnes
