Itinerary

Day 1
Medellin
Starting the day in Medellin, the first activity on the agenda was the arrival. The morning began with travelers landing at the airport, where they were greeted and transported to their accommodations. After settling in, the group had some time to relax and freshen up from their journey. As the morning progressed, they enjoyed a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, taking in the vibrant atmosphere of Medellin. In the afternoon, the focus shifted to a relaxing retreat. The group headed to a serene location, perhaps a spa or a tranquil park, where they could unwind and rejuvenate. This time was spent engaging in calming activities such as gentle walks, meditation, or simply lounging in a peaceful environment. The retreat provided an opportunity for everyone to recharge and prepare for the rest of their stay in Medellin. As evening approached, the group returned to their accommodations, where they had some free time to explore the local area or enjoy the amenities of their hotel. Dinner was a highlight of the evening, featuring a selection of local Colombian cuisine that allowed everyone to savor the flavors of the region. The meal was a chance to reflect on the day's experiences and share stories with fellow travelers. The night concluded with a quiet return to their rooms, where they could relax and prepare for the next day's adventures. The first day in Medellin ended on a peaceful note, with everyone looking forward to the activities planned for the following day.
