Description

Come and discover two unique neighbourhoods in Medellín with our Miraflores Free Tour. You'll explore the Miraflores and Buenos Aires neighbourhoods as well as seeing Colombia's first modern cablecar and the best views of Medellín.

Miraflores Free Tour

We'll meet at San Antonio tram station at 2 pm to start our walking tour of the Miraflores and Buenos Aires neighbourhoods, located in Medellín's 9th District.

Our tour will begin with a tram ride to the Miraflores station, where we'll delve into the area's architecture, the local way of life and the neighbourhood's rich culture.

Afterwards, we'll board the Metrocable, which is almost 1,000 feet (300 metres) high. On this aerial lift transportation system, the first of its kind in South America, you'll see breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

Then, after getting out of the cabins, the guide will then tell us some stories about important figures in the local community and we'll walk through the streets of this famous neighbourhood. We'll stop at the enchanting Ayacucho murals, situated outside the Music Schools Network and in front of the House of Memory Museum.

After 3 hours of strolling through the Miraflores, we'll finish the tour at 5 pm at Memory House Museum.

Nuestro guía Mauricio estuvo genial, fue muy claro con su explicación, atento con el grupo y muy amable y chistoso, lo cual es un plus para él porque mantiene a las personas activas y no se aburren. El recorrido por Miraflores fue una gran experiencia, subir el metro cable nos permito tener una gran vista de la ciudad de medellin. Es la primera vez que visito Medellin y me llamó mucho la atención su historia y cuan grande es. Mauricio nos respondió cada pregunta que le hicimos. Muy buen guía.

I have never seen someone so passionate about about a place! That’s Felipe. Besides the amazing tour he provided us, Felipe shared not only thoughtful information about the places, but also his enthusiasm. This tour was really important for us to understand the importance of the transportation for the city.

L'excursion dans le quartier de Miraflores fut excellente grace á Anita. C'est une guide passionnée, dynamique qui nous a transmis, en plus d'informations précises et détaillées, des informations sur la vie quotidienne des habitants de Medellin.
