Itinerary

Day 1
Medellin
Starting the day in Medellin, the first activity on the agenda was the arrival in the city. The morning began with a smooth landing at the José María Córdova International Airport, followed by a brief journey to the hotel. After checking in, there was some time to settle in and prepare for the day's activities. The morning was spent exploring the vibrant streets of Medellin, taking in the local culture and atmosphere. As the afternoon approached, the focus shifted to a relaxing retreat. This involved visiting a serene location within the city, where participants could unwind and enjoy some peaceful moments. The retreat provided an opportunity to relax, reflect, and rejuvenate amidst the natural beauty and tranquility of the surroundings. A light lunch was served, featuring local delicacies that offered a taste of the region's culinary delights. In the evening, the activities continued with a leisurely stroll through one of Medellin's picturesque parks. This allowed for a deeper connection with the city's natural environment and offered a chance to witness the local lifestyle. The evening was capped off with a delightful dinner at a nearby restaurant, where traditional Colombian dishes were savored, providing a perfect end to the day's explorations. As night fell, the group returned to the hotel, where they could rest and reflect on the day's experiences. The night was spent in comfort, preparing for the next day's adventures in Medellin. The day's activities concluded with a sense of fulfillment and anticipation for what the following day would bring.
