It isn’t just the dreamy weather that draws people here; the city of Medellín is alive with fascinating people, cuisine and culture. While the city looks great from any angle, one of the most interesting ways to see the sights is by hopping aboard one of Medellín’s scenic cable cars and viewing the city from above.
