Best Time to Visit Colombia:
Medellin is known as the ”City of Eternal Spring” with year round high temperatures in the low 80’s and low’s in the mid 60’s. It can be visited throughout the year. We like the Colombia weather during the months of December-February, as these are the driest months of the year.
Our Visit
We enjoyed walking around downtown seeing the amazing sculptures of Medellin’s own world famous artist Fernando Botero. While we were walking around the plaza, this armed guard saw our shirts and asked to take a picture with us. We said yes!!!
