Let's explore Medellín's most iconic and debated spot! 🏙️🎨 On this walking tour, we explore Botero Plaza, home to the 23 monumental sculptures donated by the master Fernando Botero, and delve into the historic and somewhat seedy La Veracruz neighborhood.

Discover the contrast between the art of the Museum of Antioquia and the vibrant (and sometimes chaotic) life of the downtown streets. We pass by the Church of La Veracruz, one of the oldest in the city, and see what the real safety and atmosphere are like for a tourist in 2026.

📍 On this tour you'll see:
Some sculptures in Botero Plaza.
The exterior of the Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture.
The Church of La Veracruz and its surroundings.
The real pulse of street life in downtown Medellín.
