The story

One of the most beautiful and safe cities in South America! I repeat, safe! It seems an eternity since Escobar made it the drug capital. Today it is a very modern city (this year it was named the most innovative city in the world) that has a lot to offer the tourist: natural parks, ancient and modern architecture, beautiful nightlife venues, the charm of Botero's works and much more. Definitely to be recommended, with a stay of at least 3 days! What you certainly shouldn't miss, then, is a paragliding flight over the city!
