Will Around the World

• Escobar tour: one with his brother, one with Juan Uribe
• Biblioteca España. In Santo Domingo. Santo Domingo Savio stop. Cra 33B # 107A-100
• best to visit at sunset
• Parque Arví. Hiking trails, butterfly enclosure
• The cost to get to the park is free as well, from Santo Domingo station you hop on to the other metrocable to Arví and pay $4,000 COP.
• Can be accessed via bikes which are free provided you bring your passport with you. At the top, get a free bike rental with a helmet from Encicla! It's a tough bike ride - huge hills and altitude - but worth it. Be sure to go to the reservoir - on a road connected to the path. The guard will watch your bike for you. 
• On Sundays, there is a farmer's market
• Take the Arvi - Santa Elena bus - to see the countryside and have a nice lunch in Santa Elena - a cute little town. Bus ride was 2000 pesos each way.
• Comuna 13 graffiti tour. Revolución sin Muertos
• León de Greiff library. La Ladera
• Botanical Garden. Calle 73 No. 51D- 14
• free of charge
• Orquideorama
• Cultural center in Moravia
• Parque Explora, scitech park
• Small aquarium that has about 15-20 tanks with different salt water fish, snakes, and other reptiles. Again, nothing crazy to write home about. For adults, you could run through this place in about 2 hours.
• Cerro El Volador. Cra 65 No 67-51.
• Carrera 52 N0 73-75Jog around the track
• Views here are way better than Cerro Nutibara and it never even gets half as crowded, making it easy to find your own spot and take in 360 degree views of Medellín
• Check out the trails going down to Cra 70 or other sides of the city, there are 4-5 access points.
• Parque de la Luz. Plaza Cisneros.
• Museo de Antioquia. Sede Principal, Carrera 52
• Our favorite exhibit (other than Botero) was the one on precolombian art and pottery. There are two museum shops. The one accessed from inside the museum has a large variety of quality items for sale. The one accessed from outside the museum carries only Botero items. The prices here are much cheaper for the Botero items than the Botero museum shop in Bogota. However, the Botero museum in Bogota has a larger exhibition of Botero art.
• I also recommend walking over to the Catedral Metropoitana after visiting the museum, taking some pictures of the church, and then "people watching" in the Parque de Bolivar. For lunch, there is a good and inexpensive roasted chicken fast food restaurant across the street on the far corner of the park.
• We enjoyed the art deco building and beautiful courtyard as much as the artwork. Unlike some museums that are overwhelming in size, we were able to see everything within a few hours.
• Plaza Botero
• Be careful
• Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellin. Carrera 44 N0 19A-100
