Day 7: Medellin (Parque Arvi, Botanical Gardens and Botero Plaza) (4/3/19)

This morning, we visited Park Arvi and hiked for a couple of hours around the park. The nature was scenic, but definitely didn’t compare to the waterfall outside of Bogota. I also didn’t like how they tried to make money by charging people for trail guides, instead of just giving us a map and allowing us to hike alone.

After Parque Arvi, we ate lunch at a vegetarian restaurant near Universidad. We then walked around the botanical park for about 30 minutes. From there, we took a taxi through a terrible part of Medellin that was filled with drunks, addicts, and homeless, to arrive at Botero Plaza. Botero Plaza also had a shady crowd because it bordered bad areas on all sides.

We then taxi’d back to the hotel and now we’re getting ready to go out for dinner in Poblado.
