The city that reinvented itself — eternal spring, cable car metro, and Guatapé's lake panorama.
Medellín is the city that has reinvented itself most dramatically in the world — from the drug cartel capital of the 1990s to Latin America's innovation and design capital. Eternal spring reigns at 1,500m altitude, a cable car metro connects the poorest hillside neighbourhoods, and the rock of Guatapé reveals a lakeside panorama that takes your breath away.
