This 3.5-hour semi-private e-bike tour in Medellín is limited to 8 guests to provide a more personal experience. The tour starts at Parque Ciudad del Rio, a green park surrounded by developing buildings and a museum that reflects the city’s past and future through its architecture. After about ten minutes, the ride continues through the creative district, where sustainable buildings, murals, and natural elements illustrate Medellín’s ongoing transformation. Next, the group stops for five minutes at Parque San Antonio to see two sculptures by a major Colombian artist that commemorate a violent bombing from the last century. The route then follows Junin, the city’s main commercial street, where participants can taste fresh fruit juice at a local store that has served the community for over twenty years. Plaza Botero is the next stop, with a ten-minute visit to view the world’s largest collection of Botero sculptures, twenty-three pieces displayed between Museo de Antioquia and the Palace of Culture. A brief five-minute stop is made at a well-lit park featuring 300 light towers, which represent an early phase of Medellín’s urban transformation. The tour proceeds to Plaza Mayor, the city’s main event venue, where different architectural styles and materials are visible during a five-minute visit. Finally, the ride ends at Parques del Rio, a recently developed public space where locals gather for exercise, relaxation, and outdoor activities; the group spends about ten minutes here. This essential route highlights Medellín’s history and local life. The tour includes premium electric bikes, helmets, bottled water, traditional snacks, insurance, and rain ponchos.
