What was once a "dangerous" city has now become "the most desirable city in the world"? 5 reasons why you'll fall in love with Medellin 🇨🇴✈️🌏

"Isn't Colombia dangerous?" You may have thought so, but to be honest... that's a long time ago! Medellin was once called the "most dangerous city in the world" in the shadow of drug lord Pablo Escobar. However, that image has now been completely overturned, and it has evolved into "the most innovative, beautiful, and exciting city in South America." If you don't go to Medellin, you will definitely regret it! Here are 5 reasons why you should go to the "new Medellin." ① A spectacular cable car trip! South America's strongest "aerial transportation" If you think that Medellin's transportation is just buses and trains, you're wrong. Here, cable cars are the citizens' means of transportation! It's a great experience to see the city spread out over the hilly area from above like a bird. In particular, if you take the "Metrocabre", you can move smoothly between the colorful houses and get a panoramic view of Medellin's cityscape. ② It's no longer a "dangerous city"! A story of a major reversal in public safety In the 1990s, Medellin held the title of "the most dangerous city in the world." However, it has now transformed into one of the most tourist-friendly cities in South America! In particular, the former slum area known as "Comune 13" has been transformed into an art paradise through the efforts of the government and citizens. What was once a crime-ridden area is now a lively city filled with street art and dance. ③ A mecca for coffee lovers! Taste the world's best beans Colombia is known as the country of coffee. In Medellin, you can enjoy specialty coffee grown on small local farms. If you thought it was different from regular coffee, you'll be surprised after just one sip! The depth of the aroma, the balance of acidity and sweetness, and the lingering aftertaste that's like wine... If you go to Medellin, cafe hopping is a must! ④ "Spring" all year round! ? The most comfortable climate on earth Medellin is also known as "La Ciudad de la Eterna Primavera" (the city of eternal spring). In other words, the climate is perfect all year round! There is no extreme heat or cold like in Japan, and it is always comfortable at around 20 degrees Celsius. It's the perfect environment for sightseeing, relaxing at a cafe, and hiking. Here's why nomads and immigrants from all over the world say they can't live in any other city. ⑤ Honestly, the most "fun" nightlife in South America If you go to Medellin, it would be a waste not to go out at night! In particular, the El Poblado district is lined with stylish bars and clubs, and you can experience the passionate nightlife that is typical of South America. The locals are cheerful and friendly, and if you let yourself get carried away by the rhythm of salsa and reggaeton, you might not notice it until it's morning! ? If you thought "Isn't Colombia dangerous?", that image will be blown away once you experience Medellin's energy, art, beautiful scenery, and warm people. So, your next travel destination should be Medellin, the "miracle of South America"! #Spring0yentrip #Colombia #Medellin #SouthAmerica
