"Medellín’s urban renewal, following decades as one of the world’s murder capitals, has drawn international attention. Perhaps nothing symbolizes the revival more than the Metrocable, a system of cable cars that connect the city center to steep hillside neighborhoods that were once reckoned to be the city’s most dangerous. Grab a ride on Line K up to Santo Domingo and treat yourself to spectacular views. Once on the ground again, take a short wander around the neighborhood for a taste of the real Medellín and its friendly residents (known as Paisas), and see the small shops and the beautiful library whose original benefactor was the government of Spain . From Santo Domingo, another cable car continues to Parque Arví, an expansive nature reserve and weekend escape favored by overheated locals. By Travesías"

Great outdoor adventure near Medellin. Very beautiful. Lots of good hiking. Gift shop plus snack bar available and very reasonable. I enjoyed the cable car ride up to the park - great views of the city and park. Would definitely go back. So much to see and do if you enjoy the outdoors

Beautiful place, 60 000 entry fee though for foreigners. The cable car trips add up too as I guess due. to the zone charge. I had to top up my Civic card 3-4 times with 10 000 p as you have to change lines. I thought the signage and information once you get up there was terrible. I could not find where the gate was to start the walk. The information people were only speaking Spanish as far as I could tell. Luckily I asked a worker where the orchid trail was and he gave me excellent information in English. November, he warned, was still cold (2000m or so) so he said you’ll have to really look carefully for the orchids. He was not wrong. I found them but they are tiny! It was very eye opening seeing people living in shanties as you get to the very top before the park.

Arvi Park is ideal for visiting on weekdays. It is recommended from Monday to Friday if you are a tourist. The trails and the cable car make it an ideal experience for families.

Quite touristy would recommend going north on the weekend. Nice ride all the way up. Great park, but do you research on what you want to do before you get there there are unpaid walks, as well as guided walks.

The highlight of our visit to Parque Arví was undoubtedly the stunning cable car ride, offering breathtaking panoramic views—a must-do when in Medellín! At the top, we were greeted by friendly local vendors selling a variety of handcrafted souvenirs, snacks, and fresh produce at reasonable prices. We couldn’t resist picking up a beautifully detailed wire bicycle sculpture, a true piece of art. We arrived around 5 p.m., close to the park’s 6 p.m. closing time, and there were no tickets being checked. The short trail we walked, while pleasant, was fairly unremarkable and lacked any standout scenery.

It's a fantastic place, so close to the city yet so out of the city world. Hiking is the name of the activity. Of course, you need to pay, and of course, the price is different depending on who you are. Yet the nature is astonishing.

Beautiful botanical garden right outside the city of Medellin. A lovely 5 km hike in the cleanest and freshest air according to the guides there!

Very affordable for both tourists and locals. The views on the way there from the skytram are incredible. The park is very large once you enter but beautiful.
