Urban Expansion of Medellín - Walking Tour
Overview of the tour in Medellin
Medellín, as the capital of Antioquia, has different symbols that identify it from other capitals of Colombia. This tour allows us to recognize the evolution of Medellín, going from being a municipality to the city that we can all enjoy today. The buildings that marked physical and economic changes and in the ways of thinking and acting of Antioquia society are visited. Medellín became Antioquia when it received a lot of people from the towns that were looking to invest and start businesses. Antioquia will become Medellín because, it is so much the growth that it does not have physical capacity to lodge the development and what it brings.

On arrival
Once you arrive at the station do not leave the facilities, wait in the turnstiles. If no one is booking I will not go to the meeting point or if all the people who made the reservation arrive I will not wait an extra time.
Postscript: the tours are carried out under the modality of Free Walking Tour, under no circumstance is private transportation handled in this modality (please if you do not like to walk do not take this tour). In addition, the days with too much rain will not be carried out the guide, because it would be impossible to mobilize, only alternative activities will be carried out as far as possible, although there is always the possibility of reprogramming the route. We appreciate your understanding.
Una vez que llegues a la estación Alpujarra del Metro de Medellín salida norte, no abandone las instalaciones, espere en los torniquetes. Si nadie reserva, no iré al punto de encuentro o si llegan todas las personas que hicieron la reserva no esperaré un tiempo extra, por lo tanto si vas a asistir ponte en contacto conmigo.
Things to note
My name is Juan David and I am a historian of the University of Antioquia, so in the tours I seek to explain how the city has evolved, what problems it has and what solutions have been implemented. I also try to show you places outside the tourist circuits that include visits to the high and central districts, viewpoints, library parks, universities, problematic areas of the city, alternative gastronomic centers, etc. Although all this I can adapt to the expectations, places and stories that want to know Medellin.
Free Cancellation
You are free to cancel a booking anytime. We kindly remind you to cancel bookings you cannot arrive for. Being reported as absent decreases your customer level points and the benefits you can enjoy.
