The Most Beautiful Parks and Gardens in Medellin
Medellin is easily one of the greenest cities in Colombia. Parks abound in the City of Eternal Spring, and there is always a new green space to explore. From the beautiful Botanical Gardens in the heart of the urban area to wild mountain parks filled with flora and fauna, here are the city’s most beautiful parks and gardens.
Parque Arvi
A giant park over the mountains to the east of Medellin, Arvi Park is almost more of a National Park than a city park, but it is reached via the famous Medellin Metrocable cable-car system, so it makes the list. A huge area, encompassing myriad hiking trails, a lake, and various exhibits dedicated to its enviable biodiversity, this park is worth taking a whole day to explore. You could even consider skipping the return journey on the cable-car and taking a bus on to the little town of Santa Elena to discover the famous farms where the flowers are grown for the annual Medellin Flower Festival.
