    Paisas - as the folks from Medellín and Antioquia are affectionately known - are famously friendly people. It's not unusual to feel welcome anywhere you go Colombia, but in Medellín you get the sense that people genuinely are very happy to see you there.

    Looks like a really cool city. Because of all the hills it reminds me a touch of where my ex is from, Belo Horizonte Brazil (which isn't rally cool). But as a Canadian who wants to escape the cold and wet weather in winter and head for some sun, the constant rain year round, it seems, puts me off a bit.

    They should rename it the City of the Eternal Rain. Rains all the time here. The pollution is actually pretty bad but thanks to the long C19 lockdown awhile ago and also restrictions on driving, based on license plate numbers, and a concerted attempt to plant more trees ... it has gotten better.

    Ok ....good video ....good material ...
    You need to know, ... The famous Boteri sculpture that was blown up by Pablo Escobar, ... Can not ....be ...repared.....
    Because it is an eternal display of the historical bomb by the Medellin Cartel....
    You need to understand this from a historical perspective....
    It is an eternal memory to the historical violent event ....
    You also need to know that all of the Boteri sculptures we're donated by the most famous painting and sculpturist Fernando Boteri.... Each sculpture or statue is priced at $ 5 million USA Dollars each sculpture..
    The park has about 20 sculptures...
    Multiply 5 Millon X 25 sculptures... Is over
    100 million USA Dollars....
    I have traveled to Al cities in Latin America.... Medellin is the Best city in Latin America.... It is also called the most innovative city in the world.... As declared by ... Wall Street Journal, and by Citi group...

    I’ve visited bogota and Leticia then flew over to cusco and visited places around there. I want to go back to Colombia. I was going to go back to bogota but the more I research the better in liking Medellin. Temperature is warmer, public transit, closer to the coastline if I want to visit. If you were to move to Colombia for 3-6 months out of the year from the states what city would you love to in Colombia. (Any city)

    My flight to Medellin arrives at midnight. How safe is it to take a taxi to poblado from the airport? I’ve read of taxis stopping at traffic lights and getting robbed whether by coincidence or part of a conspiracy

    • @IslandHopperTV
      @IslandHopperTV  Před 2 lety

      The airport is far from the city. I would recommend getting one of those radio taxis (guys in vests) at the airport. As far as the drive in goes. It’s a toll road. Through two tunnels then you arrive above Medellin. You don’t really go through any tough areas on the way to poblado. So my assumption would be no problem at all.

    • @omegaphifer163
      @omegaphifer163 Před 2 lety

      It’s about a 30-45 minute ride from airport to pobaldo usually very safe there are a number of taxis waiting oustide as Uber is still technically illegal so u have to use taxi leaving airport but once you are in the city Uber works fine the price is also pre set I was there last week 80-90 mil 25-30usd
