Parque Arví
Parque Arví is a very large ecological nature reserve in Medellin, and one of the most popular tourist attractions. Take the cable car up the mountain for a beautiful view of the city and explore the park's trails and gardens. It has 33 miles of walkable trails and stations to do activities like hiking, picnicking, zip-lining and horseback riding. Our favorite thing to do at Parque Arvi is the Comfama Adventure. It has 68 obstacles with different rope courses you use to climb from tree to tree. These circuits last between 45 and 90 minutes at a height of 6 to 39 feet high. Don't forget to bring a jacket! It's usually a bit more chilly here since it's higher up in the mountains.
