5 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions and Things to Do in Medellín | Colombia Travel Guide
5 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions & Things to Do in Medellin
If ever there was a city brimming with 21st-century optimism, it's Medellin. With a comfortable, mild climate and cosmopolitan feel, this city of 3.5 million - the second largest in Colombia after Bogotá - hasn't always had an easy time of it. In 1988, Time magazine declared Medellin the most dangerous city in the world. In 2013, The Wall Street Journal called it the most innovative metropolis on the planet. Needless to say, much has changed in a quarter of a century, and this is no longer the city once in the grip of the famed narco-trafficker Pablo Escobar. Far from it, Medellin is overflowing with things to do for all types of travelers and packs a way bigger punch than most cities of its size. Let's see five things to do and tourist attractions in Medellin, Colombia.
1. Plaza Botero and the Museum of Antioquia
2. The Medellin Metrocable
3. Comuna 13
4. Guatapé
5. MAMM: Medellín Museum of Modern Art

A Walk Through The Underground Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá in 4K

What is the Salt Cathedral?
We take you for a walk through the underground Salt Cathedral in Zipaquirá. This area of the country is rich in salt mines active since the 5th century B.C., and Colombia at the time was one of the most sought-after countries for the valuable natural resource of salt. This video is our first time shooting video in 4K, and it was a spectacular place to shoot.
The cathedral is pretty darn impressive. There are only two cathedrals of its kind in the world (the other is in Poland), and it's built 200m underground. Not only is it considered one of Colombia's paramount artistic and architectural accomplishments, but it was also honoured with the number 1 of the seven wonders of Colombia.
Essentially, it's an underground church built in a tunnel of a salt mine in the Halite Mountains. Originally constructed in 1954, significant structural problems lead to its closure and then it reopened after Bogotán architect Roswell Garavito Pearl and Bogotan engineer Jorge Enrique Castelblanco Reyes were awarded the job, and it reopened in 1995.
The walk down the tunnel is a series of interlinked rooms and chambers including 14 small chapels, and three large shrines and the impressive large cathedral that can hold up to 8400 people. Throughout the tunnel rests beautiful salt and marble sculptures all marvellously lit with blue and purple lighting.
What You Need to Know about the Salt Cathedral Tour:
A tour here lasts about an hour; it is a little cool down there, so bring sleeves and comfortable shoes. Normally, I am a little claustrophobic, yet I had no concern wandering through the surprisingly large tunnel, especially the impressively large cathedral at the end.
How to get to the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá:
Zipaquirá (the town where the cathedral resides) is approximately an hour outside of Bogotá (50kms), and you can easily get there by bus, private car or steam train tour. Tour operators like Destino Bogotá offer guided trips to Zipaquirá by steam train or private car from your hotel in Bogotá.
How to make your trip more meaningful
Spend some time in Zipaquirá, it's a charming colonial town, and to get more of the local flavour avoid the large western style restaurants that reside along the highway entering the town, and explore the town streets for restaurants and shops.
It is open Sunday-to-Sunday 9am-6pm. It is quite crowded on Sundays where locals and Bogotán's come to worship (although an interesting time to see the cathedral in all its glory), or you can wander through it a little more on another day by avoiding the large crowds.
