Emerald green mountains and an abundant variety of trees and plants are drenched by an eternity of warm sunshine.  Medellin is calm, hospitable and rightly proud of both its traditions and eye-boggling transformation into one of South America's most sought after cities. Sincere, uncomplicated and unaffected by tourism, Medellin's spectacular valley is rivalled only by the people it beholds.

Medellin is blessed with an all year round, spring-like climate, except for the occasional downpour which helps to keep the city clean. Medellin does not suffer from any natural weather disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or tsunamis.

As South America’s longest standing democracy, Colombia remains the United States’ staunchest ally in the region. With drug use largely confined to user countries like the US or Europe, a vastly improved security situation and a murder rate lower than many US cities, Medellin is one of the safest cities in Central or South America.

With a world class transport system, sophisticated shops, gourmet restaurants and cafes, a wide choice of bars and clubs and accommodation options and more high rises under construction than NYC, LA and Philadelphia combined, Medellin’s transformation into a modern paradise seems to have gathered an unstoppable momentum.

People from Medellin (Paisas) are famous for their friendliness, beauty and ingenuity. Famous Paisas include, the current President Álvaro Uribe, the infamous drug lord Pablo Escobar, South America's most successful artist, Fernando Botero and the most entertaining goalkeeper ever to brace soccer, René Higuita.
