Medellin has plenty of interesting things to do for a first-time visitor – the street art, the changing neighbourhoods, the museums, the great bar and restaurant scene – but my favourite thing to do was riding the extensive cable cars. Not only over the various neighbourhoods clinging precariously to the steep sides, but also up over the city valley sides and into the lush green forests where the city is completely forgotten.
Good little set of adventures to see the contrasts not just in the rich poor areas, but also the dense city and the green forests.
