Medellín es una ciudad y municipio colombiano, capital del departamento de Antioquia, situada en el noroccidente del país, en el centro del Valle de Aburrá ubicado en la Cordillera Central y atravesada por el río Medellín. Cuenta, según los datos del censo de 2005,4 con una población de 2.223.078 habitantes, lo que la convierte en la segunda ciudad más poblada de Colombia, sólo superada por Bogotá. Por su parte, el área metropolitana de la ciudad, conformada por otros 9 municipios, tiene una población de 3.312.165 habitantes, siendo ésta la segunda aglomeración urbana del país.
Como capital del departamento, Medellín alberga las sedes de la Gobernación de Antioquia, la Asamblea Departamental, el Tribunal Departamental, el Área Metropolitana, la Fiscalía General, Instituciones y Organismos del Estado; además, es la sede de empresas oficiales, como las departamentales EDATEL, Teleantioquia; y las municipales Empresas Públicas de Medellín —EPM— y Telemedellín. En el plano económico, se destaca como uno de los principales centros financieros e industriales de Colombia, sede de numerosas empresas nacionales e internacionales.
Además, la ciudad se destaca como uno de los principales centros culturales de Colombia. También es sede de importantes festivales de amplia trayectoria y reconocimiento tanto local, nacional como internacional. Así mismo se destaca la actividad académica y científica, ya que algunas de las universidades colombianas más importantes tienen su sede en la ciudad.
Medellín (Spanish pronunciation: [meðeˈʎin]), officially the Municipio de Medellín (Spanish) or Municipality of Medellín, is the second largest city in Colombia. It is in the Aburrá Valley, one of the more northerly of the Andes in South America. It has a population of 2.4 million.[2][3] With its surrounding area, the metropolitan area of Medellín (Area Metropolitana de Medellín), it is the second largest city in Colombia in terms of population and economy, with more than 3.5 million people, and ranks in population as the 91st of the world's largest urban agglomerations.
Medellín was founded in 1616 by the Spaniard Francisco Herrera Y Campuzano as Poblado de San Lorenzo (Saint Lawrence Town) in present-day El Poblado. In 1675 the queen consort Mariana of Austria created the Villa de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria (Town of Our Lady at Candelaria).
In 1826 the city was named the capital of the Department of Antioquia by the Spanish colonial administration. In 1803 the University of Antioquia, one of the most prestigious in Colombia, was founded. After Colombia won its independence from Spain, Medellín became the capital of the Federal State of Antioquia until 1888, with the proclamation of the Colombian Constitution of 1886. During the 19th century, Medellín was a dynamic commercial center, first exporting gold, then producing and exporting coffee. After the Thousand Days War (1899 — 1902), Medellín was the first Colombian city to take part in the Industrial Revolution with the opening of textile companies, and transport projects such as railways that allowed its export business to develop. In addition, its people founded several universities and vocational training institutions.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the city has regained industrial dynamism, with the construction of the Metro de Medellín railway, and liberalized development policies, improved security, and improved education. The city is promoted internationally as a tourist destination.
The Medellín Metropolitan Area produces 67% of the Department of Antioquia's GDP and 11% of the economy of Colombia.[4] Medellín is important to the region for its universities, academies, commerce, industry, science, health services, flower-growing, festivals and nightlife.
THE BIRDERS | A Melodic Journey through Northern Colombia
The Birders, a documentary film on Colombian bird diversity and birdwatching presented by ProColombia, with support of FONTUR and directed by Gregg Bleakney.
The film highlights Colombian local birdwatching guide, Diego Calderon-Franco and National Geographic photographer / videographer Keith Ladzinski as they travel through one of the most diverse bird regions in the world to capture new and rare birds that have never been filmed before.
The Birders, also takes people through the Colombian landscape, highlighting several of its’ top locations, culture, birds and music. As well as; Los Flamencos Fauna and Flora Sanctuary, in the Guajira Peninsula. El Dorado Bird Reserve, in the Santa Marta Mountains. Minca and surroundings, in the Santa Marta Mountains. Tayrona National Natural Park and El Chamicero del Perija Bird Reserve, in the Perija Mountains.
The films aims to change the perception of Colombia through showcasing the diversity of birds who live there.
“Birdwatching in Colombia is a real adventure. These guides and biologists are always finding new things”, says director Gregg Bleakney. Diego Calderón agrees, “Being a bird guide in Colombia is absolutely crazy, we are basically living the Victorian times of exploration.
You can choose a remote corner of the country and almost for sure you are going to find surprises: new species, new subspecies, new range extensions. Colombia is a box of surprises!”
Along with the unique birds and exquisite landscape, The Birders incorporates an original score from local musicians inspired by the bird songs found in the film.
Mucho Indio - Teto Ocampo
Teto Ocampo has spent the past 10 years learning to play the Arhuaco people’s ancestral songs. Though his band, Mucho Indio, Teto takes listeners on a cosmic journey through space and time by translating Colombia’s most ancestral melody, the song of the hummingbird, to a modern format. He composed the melody with a rare charu flute, an instrument that only a handful of people on planet have the knowledge to play.
Song name: Kumuchikayu
Sidestepper English musician Richard Blair is most well known as the founding member of Sidestepper, a pioneering Colombian band that has paved the way for a modern generation of Colombian artists who have successfully gone global through mixing local and foreign musical concepts.
Richard’s meditative song was inspired by “mixed migrant flocks, a phenomenon where foreign birds migrate to Colombia’s Caribbean region to live, travel and sing with local groups of birds.
Song name: To Close Your Eyes
Ghetto Kumbé Together with the team of the documentary, Edgardo Garcés travelled to his birthplace of La Guajira to record the song of the Vermilion Cardinal. Edgardo tattooed the bird on his arm to ground himself after the death of his parents. He had never seen the bird in the wild before. The story of this eye-catching bird’s connection to indigenous Wayúu culture is the inspiration for this modern Afro-Colombian electronic song.
Song name: Soy Guajira
Frente Cumbiero Using Colombian Cumbia as its base, Mario Galeano and his band Frente Cumbiero composed a modern take on the classic USA surf songs of the 1960s, but with a birder’s soul. The song draws inspiration from the endemic Santa Marta Parakeet. These social birds
live in flocks on a massive ridgeline overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Magdalena River Valley, the birthplace of Cumbia music.
Song name: Parakeet Ridge
El Leopardo With his band El Leopardo, Daniel Broderick (aka Dani Boom) composed a thumping electronic club song that mirrors the Manakin bird’s slow build-up to a frenetic courtship display. The mechanical clapping sound of the White-bearded Manakin’s wings, recorded by the documentary team in Tayrona National Park, is the foundation of Dani’s composition. The courtship call of the Lance-tailed Manakin provided a secondary melody.
Song name: Manakin Boom

Welcome to Colombia
When I was traveling through the department of Caldas, specifically when I was in Tinamú Birding Nature Reserve ( I met Erica, an Austrian woman, who lives in London and was traveling Colombia alone. Erica told us a little about her experience traveling alone in Colombia and some recommendations to take into account.
Among the places she visited are Lost City in Santa Marta, Punta Gallinas in La Guajira, Cartagena and Medellín. She describes each of them as a place of wonderful experiences.
The recommendations Erica gives to all women who want to travel through Colombia alone are:
- Learn Spanish, since many Colombians do not know English and that makes communication with them difficult.
- Dress casually, avoiding wearing expensive jewelry and accessories.
- Apply common sense, for greater security.
As Erica said in the video, the role of tourists is very important for the development in Colombia. Colombians want to show to the world that their country is safe to travel, even if you are a woman and you go alone. Colombia is a place with many magical destinations that you cannot miss.

Welcome to Colombia
Colombia is a very safe country. I have lived here for 4 years as a foreigner and nothing has happened to me, besides, more than 4 million tourists come to Colombia every year ( which means that there are excellent tourist sites that you can surely visit.
Despite this, there are places in Colombia that you should not visit for your safety. Here is the list of places and the reasons why you shouldn't go (
- Areas that are on the border with Venezuela: Composed of the entire border and some areas of the department of Norte de Santander, Arauca and Vichada. Border insecurity is due to the number of Venezuelan refugees in Colombia, several due to their conditions, come to rob in Colombia. Also, for reasons of drug trafficking ( and armed groups ( located in the area.
- Areas in the Amazon: Composed by the department of Guaviare towards the south of Colombia. This whole area is forest. Although there are safe places, such as Florencia in Caquetá or Leticia in Amazonas, this is the perfect area to grow coca.
- Putumayo: Department that borders Ecuador and Peru to the south of Colombia. It is a place of difficult access and ideal for coca cultivation and drug trafficking.
- Pacific Coast: It is the place of settlement of armed groups. It is a difficult situation to control in the country because it is a very large forest area. Although in the Pacific there are tourist and safe areas such as Bahía Solano and Nuquí in the department of Chocó.
- Areas in Antioquia: There is a small area in Antioquia that must be avoided because it is the place of settlement of paramilitaries ( armed right-wing groups.
Also, although the big cities like Bogotá ( Medellín ( and Cali ( are safe, it is important that as a tourist you have caution in areas that you don't know, taking care of your personal valuables.
