Activity itinerary

Second Mirador De Palmas
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
1) After being picked up in a comfortable and private transport, we'll start driving up the Andes mountains, where we start seeing the city from a higher point every time, just expanding in front of our eyes, accompanied by the Andes mountain range like it's cuddling Medellín. Our first stop is the beautiful "Mirador Las Palmas", a very traditional viewpoint loved by the locals, they come here any time of the day just to relax and enjoy the view, at night it's even more beautiful, where we can see all the lights just crawling up to the peak of the mountains.
El Zarzal (Pass by)
Our second, going higher up the mountain, is "Zarzal Bar" typical rest stop, one of the most famous "Miradores" of the city, where we get to see Medellín and all its surroundings from the highest part of the city, locals love to come here and hang out, with their couples, family and friends. We'll have our traditional and delicious "CHOCOLATE WITH CHEESE", In this traditional Colombian treat, a piece of mild, fresh cheese is paired with a hot and delicious dark chocolate. The cheese and chocolate are typically served side by side or layered together. The contrast between the creamy, slightly salty cheese and the sweet chocolate creates a unique flavour experience that many Colombians love!! We''ll have also "PATACONES CON HOGAO", is a Colombian dish that combines two beloved elements of Colombian cuisine: patacones and Hoga'o (Green plantains with toppings).
Parque de Sabaneta
  • 1h
3) After Zarzal, we'll drive to our second stop, the most populated city of Colombia, Sabaneta, we'll drive through its local streets and visit its beautiful colourful park, we'll be greeted by the delightful blend of natural beauty and urban charm. The park offers a tranquil escape where friendly locals love sitting and chatting, admiring vibrant flowers, plants and trees, and relax by the soothing fountain, here, we'll enjoy some delicious "BUÑUELOS", a cherished Colombian treat that you'll find all year, but particularly around Christmas time, shaped into small balls and fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside. We'll also try here our delicious "AREPA DE CHOCOLO", enjoying like a real local, just sitting and observing the magical vibe of the city. Can't miss the "PAN DE QUESO", known as one of the best breads in the world!! You'll find out why we're so proud of this small, delicious and flavourful bread.
Parque de Sabaneta (Pass by)
We'll also try the "BUTIFARRA", holds a special place in the country's culinary scene, is a delicious, traditional, small and flavourful sousage, made from seasoned ground pork, grilled with seasoning and a little spice, simply perfect. We can't miss a shot of our most traditional drinks and a typical bar, "AGUARDIENTE ANTIOQUEÑO & RUM", a liquorish drink with an essence of anis flavoured tones, it's the favourite drink of our region, perfect for exalting Colombians passion for gathering up, dancing and partying. Our next snack, is one of our most famous desserts, we'll have the crunchy and flavourful "OBLEA", a beloved Colombian dessert that have been enjoyed for generations on different regions. These thin, crispy wafers are made from a delicious batter consisting of wheat flour and cornstarch.
The Eight Wonder Bar
  • 45m

3) Our third stop would be the magical and most famous local restaurant in Sabaneta called "THE EIGHT WONDER", just a few minutes away from the main square, high above in the mountains, this restaurant offers a vantage point to witness the city's nocturnal transformation.
