Features

  • A cable car ride with city views lets you contemplate Medellín from above, observing how the city extends across the Aburrá Valley and up the surrounding slopes.
  • Travel on Medellín's cable car as part of your city route, using it as a connection between areas instead of a private transfer or tour vehicle.

Medellín metro

Features

  • Use Medellín's metro system to connect between neighborhoods, combining it with the cable car so you experience how residents move through the city every day.
  • Your metro ride between neighborhoods is an included segment of this city route, although cable car and metro tickets themselves are not provided and must be purchased separately.

Comuna 13

Comuna 13 is a hillside district known for its urban transformation and steep terrain, now linked by outdoor escalators.
