While El Centro can be too congested and polluted, or El Poblado too modern and almost boringly safe, Envigado dabbles in a little sophistication, but maintains its traditional Colombian charm.
Indeed, it's a great place to sample some typical Colombian cuisine or check-out a laid back salsa bar.
Envigado is technically a city in its own right and has its own mayor, football team, newspapers, etc. Indeed, it feels a little distinct from other parts of Medellín and more like a typical South American city with lots of low-rise buildings and bustling streets of people. |
