This morning, we woke up at 9AM, had a quick breakfast at the top floor of our hotel, and then walked to the Metrorail where we could take public transportation to Park Arvi. At the rail station, one of the workers told us that Park Arvi is closed on Mondays, so we instead decided to board a train and gondola to San Antonio and San Javier. Interestingly, because Medillin is surrounded by mountains and many of Medellin’s neighborhoods are situated in the mountains, the city’s public transportation system on the outskirts of the city included gondolas which transport people high into the hills.
After ending back at San Javier, we walked to Comuna 13, an electrical escalator through one of Medellin’s roughest neighborhoods. Apparently, the recent installation of escalator’s has transformed this neighborhood into a tourist attraction.
After Comuna 13, we Ubered to Pueblito Paisa, a replica of an old town that was built on a hill in the middle of Medellin. At Pueblito Paisa, we had dinner at a touristy restaurant, La Fonda del Pueblo. The food was average, but the restaurant had a great atmosphere and nice views of Medellin.
Next, we Ubered back to the hotel, relaxed, and slept early.
