Literary Journey at the Book and Culture Festival 2023

Overview of the tour in Medellin

Meeting point at 9:00 a.m.: we will meet at the entrance to Parque Explora (from there we will walk to the Botanical Garden).

During our excursion, we will explore and get to know the tourist attractions of the area. Then, we will dive into the world of the Festival, where we will understand its historical and thematic context, access the program, the yellow basin, the pavilions and the thematic strips.

We will enjoy activities such as the Living Reading Garden and, if conditions permit, we will enter the Bibliocirco. We will also take a walk through the orquideorama and its cultural proposal, explore the publishers' area with its offer of books for all tastes, participate in a special literary activity and enjoy refreshments.

Finally, we will visit the Garden Store and say goodbye at the pedestrian gate at 11:45 a.m. If you would like to have lunch, the area has several gastronomic options and we will be happy to offer you guidance. Join us for this enriching experience!
