Medellín, Colombia’s second largest city, lies in the northwest of the country in the Antioquia region. Founded in the early 17th century, it’s known as the “City of Eternal Spring” thanks to its elevation, mild climate, and lush surroundings.
This unique atmosphere also drew Nicole from Slovakia. A passionate traveller and Spanish translator, she met her husband in the Canary Islands, and together they are now building a life in Medellín.
We’ll start with a traditional Antioquian breakfast, then enjoy bandeja paisa in a local home. In the hills above the city, we’ll discover the tradition of flower carriers, and on a nearby coffee farm, sip Colombian coffee during a tropical rain. We’ll also taste arepas and prepare sancocho in the park, just like the locals do.
