Medellín — a full week lets you go beyond the city

A week in Medellín lets you go beyond the must-sees and into the wider Antioquia region — overnight in the colonial town of Jardín, paraglide over the valley, and eat your way through every neighborhood. Days 1–3 follow the classic itinerary; Days 4–7 add coffee, adventure, and the best small town in Colombia.

Days 1–3 — The Classics

Day 1 settle in and Provenza. Day 2 Comuna 13 + Plaza Botero. Day 3 Guatapé day trip. See our 3-day itinerary for details.

Day 4 — Coffee Farm Half-Day

Half-day at a working finca. Afternoon free for shopping at El Tesoro mall, a visit to El Castillo gardens, or a Metrocable ride up to Parque Arví.

Day 5 — Adventure Day

Tandem paragliding off San Felix mountain ($50–100 USD depending on flight length) gives 10–25 minutes of soaring over the valley. Afternoon hike up Cerro de las Tres Cruces for a free 1-hour climb with a 360° city view, or rest and book a tasting menu dinner.

Days 6–7 — Jardín Overnight

Drive 3 hours south to Jardín — considered Antioquia’s most beautiful colonial town. Cobblestone streets, a cathedral that fills the main plaza, and working coffee farms in the hills. Stay overnight at one of the small posadas, drink coffee at sidewalk cafes, and watch the town wake up. Drive back Day 7 afternoon for a final dinner in Medellín.
