Wonderful experience!
What a fun tour to take! Our guide Laura was extremely knowledgeable about the coffee making process. She was very personable and funny, wonderful to be around! Her English was excellent. The farm is in such a beautiful place and the family is very nice and hospitable. A wonderful place to visit!

Sara was phenominal!
We had Sara as our private guide! I cannot tell you how much of a delight she was. We have been on multiple tours from different countries and within the United States, and she was probably by far the best guide we have ever had. We love how much information she gave us about Medellin. The history, and her history with the city as well! Visiting Commune 13 was definitely a highlight of our trip so far and to be honest, if we did not have her we never would’ve went. We felt so safe with her and seeing what That area has become and should I say overcome has been absolutely incredible. We wish we could have her for every tour! Thank you Sara for making our trip here to Medellin unforgettable ❤️

Medellin Street Food and Drinks - Perfect Tour
He had an amazing experience. We didn’t book ahead of time and there was no availability on the day we wanted to do the food tour. However, the company was so accommodating and worked so hard to get a tour guide for us. We are so thankful they did because our food tour was not only delicious but the perfect ending to our trip to Medellin. We ate delicious foods and learned so much about the Medellin Culture through our great guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin. We were picked up from our hotel and driven to a more local area called Sabaneta where we got to eat great treats, try Aguardiente and a refreshing Refajo. The night culminated with a Picada antioqueña and a refajo, we were so happy and our bellies full.

Fun day trip
This was a great day trip! Laura was our guide and was so friendly and knew tons of people at all of our stops. Because it was a Sunday and more busy we went to Guatapé first to miss more of the crowds, which was great. The coffee farm was fun and the owner was super friendly and a bit of a jokester. The coffee was great and we walked away with 7 lbs of coffee along with some chocolates made with coffee as well. Were coffee people so it didn’t take a huge sales pitch. It was really nice being more one on one. I can’t imagine riding in the large tour busses through the narrow and windy roads there.

An awesome Colombian experience! 10/10
The horse back riding and trip to the coffee plantation was amazing. Our guide, Sarah, was super knowledgeable and we learnt so much, not just about coffee, but also life in Colombia and how locals live. My wife and I are confident on horses so they let us trot and canter on the trail which was a lot of fun. The ride is ~10.5km which is decent! The views on the ride are amazing. Once at the coffee plantation we met the owner and his lovely family, who served the most delicious lunch. We then tasted the coffee brewed in 4 different ways. Highly recommend this tour! Thank you Sarah!

Absolute Must Do
This tour was absolutely perfect. We loved every moment, including the drive, and really enjoyed Sarah, our guide. She was knowledgeable and gave us great tips on where to shop and what to eat. We especially loved the paragliding. It was the most incredible thing we have done. We wished we could do it again before we leave!

How often do you have the chance to visit a neighborhood that not long ago was a landfill with people living in and around?

Doing this tour you get to visit the Moravia neighborhood which experienced a big transformation from what was the city’s main landfill between 1977 and 1984 a place that was informally occupied by displaced families who improvisedly built their homes in the neighborhood to find a place in the city.

You are about to have the most memorable urban experience in Medellin as well as you are helping to make this small piece of the world a better place.

Moravia Barrio Tour Itinerary:

After the introduction, we begin with an in-depth telling of the neighborhood’s history and transformation as we look at where the landfill used to be and compare it with some pictures of how it used to look in the past. Tour participants can witness what an incredible change has taken place!

We continue to visit a Moravia old-time resident’s house, and in her words she will tell us amazing stories about her experience when she was a kid and how was her life living so close to a garbage disposal site, how this benefited her and her family as well as the whole community around the landfill.

Unlike what most of people would think, they were actually lived happy lives and earned enough to sustain their families by collecting trash in the landfill. We’ll be able to understand all of that from her own real stories.

Creative Experience in our Moravia Barrio Tour:

After talking to Marina, we will be ready to start our creative experience. Since this is a private tour you can choose which activity you want to do from four options:

• Artisanal Paper: Learn how to make artisanal paper with recycled paper and create beautiful pieces of paper that you can use as decoration for different occasions.

• Transforming tires in art: with the guidance of an expert you will design a very unique plant pot using your creativity and imagination. Also, you will learn the steps to transform a car tire into different pieces of art.

• Urban Garden: In this experience you will learn how to plant different vegetables, fruits and herbal plants in limited spaces, you learn and participate in making a very efficient compost with the house organic waste and you will drink a delicious and cold green vegetable juice made with some of the products grown in the garden.

• Dance Show: You will attend a dance show of folkloric Colombian rhythms and if you are up to the challenge, then why not get on your feet and learn how to dance with the performers.

All of these activities are super fun, very educational and the idea is that you can practice them at home, grow your own indoor plants, make your own beautiful paper, and transform your old car tires into something new.

Walking tour around Moravia

After this activity we start a stroll around the landmarks of the neighborhood accompanied and guided directly by our local guides.

We will make around 6 stops around the neighborhood to present you with a complete picture of life in the neighborhood.

Tourism with social purpose

One of the most fascinating characteristics of Moravia is the commitment of its social leaders to generate a type of tourism with social purpose. With just paying the fee for this tour you are already contributing to the school focused on inculcate art to children of the community.

One of the main goals we had when we started MedellinDayTrips was to have the biggest and most positive impact in the communities we work with and that’s why this tour is so special, since we can really see how the people are benefiting.

We’ve already given you a detailed description of our Moravia Barrio Tour in Medellin, but there’s more still to learn, and photos don’t do the experience justice. You’ll see for yourself when you join us!
