Medellin

After the trip to the Amazone, I went for 2 weeks to Medellin with a friend from Belgium who lives there. Medellin is the capital city of Antioquia. The city is more known for Pablo Escobar, who was a leader in the drugs traffic. I know Medellin as a city of art, technology and beautiful people.
City of art: I visited the modern art museum in Medellin. A beautiful place where you can find art pieces over the whole world. One of the most famous artists of Colombia is Fernando Botero. He is known for his special technic: big!

It's almost Christmas and this is one of the highlights of the year everywhere in the world. This is not different in Colombia. They love to decorate their houses and everywhere you look, you can see lights, many lights. We went to see the lights with the chiva (partybus). The lights in Medellin are famous over whole Colombia and with reason, beautiful!

A loooonggg time ago, before lights and technology, a meteorite landed a little bit out of Medellin. I visited the Peñol, it's incredable.

We went all the way to the top. I can't describe the view with words...

I also visited pueblo paisa, this was the very beginning of the city. It is a beautiful little town where you can find the typical native houses from when the city was founded.

City of technology: Medellin is the first city in Colombia with a metro and a metrocable. When you go in the metrocable you have the most beautiful view over the city.

After 12 incredable days I had to go back to San Andres. Preparing everything for Christmas. Christmas was very cosy and very nice, but also a little weard to me, I've never been at the beach the 25th of december.
Merry Christmas!
