Laguna de Guatape

Reviewed By Denise P - Canada

The day was beautiful and it was relaxing to be on the water. Very interesting to learn that the town was bombed (people safely moved) to make a lagoon for the hydro electric. We saw Pablo Escobar's house and then went as far as the Penol Rock. Great scenery, quiet and enjoyable. The boat ride was part of a day tour we took from Medellin. Spanish speaking only.

La Casa de las Piedritas

Reviewed By Yasminator - Store Heddinge, Storstrom, Denmark

Gloria and Santiago show you around in their private home, which has been built through the past 25 years - and keeps on having more sections added to it!
It looks like nothing special from the outside, but when you enter it is like a castle of hallways, staircases, small bedrooms - a true adventure.
When I visited their house I wished so badly to be a small child again, because it was with the joy and enthusiasm of a child that I explored their 'mansion'. It was like a fairytale.
Santiago is a true artist to have built this house and everything in it, from only small rocks, pebbles, and "trash" he's found around town. It's a true, modern, sustainable house - but built in a manner that reminds me of the Castles of the ancient England.
As we wrote in their guest book, Gloria cooked us a traditional Antioquinian desert, and all the was through the tour of the house we were enlightened with their beautiful stories, from her hospitable being.
A lovely place you must visit! But call them in advance. They have no internet, computer, cellphone or anything. You must call them and ask if it is ok to come and visit their house; because it isn't like a museum or anything - you will be accepted as a guest in their house.
When your visit ends you must give them money in the box they have for the purpose. I suggest giving them around or at least 20.000 COP, which is the equivalent of $3 USD.
I personally truly think that they deserve that money; and for people who can afford to travel, this amount should be absolutely nothing.
I hope you go there!

Centro Comercial Aves Maria

Reviewed By Ross E

Es una lástima que este centro comercial este en decadencia, confine va pasando el tiempo se puede ver la falta de promoción y ha dejado de ser visitado por los residentes de Sabaneta debido a la falta de opciones comerciales dentro del mismo. Lo único que merece la pena es visitar la sala de cine. Son más los locales comerciales vacíos que los que están en funcionamiento, la zona de comida se limita a no más de 5 restaurantes abiertos, una verdadera lástima.

Metro de Medellin

Reviewed By ExpatinBogota - Bogota, Colombia

The only down fall at least for me was that the Metro is not convenient to all location around the city. It was a good 20 minute walk. It doesn have stops for some major landmarks like Botero Park Parque Berrio) And the MetroCable (Santo Domingo).

This is a nice option during the exploration of Medellin if you want to stick to public transportation. It runs from the San Antonio Metro station to the neighborhood Alejandro Echavarría and connects also with metro system. Good way to move quickly through the city.
