“For informational purposes only. Please consult your dentist to see if veneers are right for you. The Smile Session does not replace the need for a consultation with your dentist. Individual cases and results may vary. Tooth or gum contouring may be necessary.¨

WE CAN HELP YOU

The implant is fused to the jaw bone, providing a stable support for the artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges placed on implants do not slip or shift in the mouth, which is an especially important advantage for chewing and speaking. This adaptation helps dentures and bridges (as well as individual crowns placed on implants) feel more natural than conventional ones.

For some people, ordinary bridges or dentures are uncomfortable because they irritate, have too narrow edges, or cause nausea. Additionally, traditional bridgework must be attached to the teeth on both sides of the gap. One advantage of implants is that adjacent teeth do not need to be worn down to support replacement teeth.

To receive implants, it is necessary to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. The patient must also assume the commitment to keep these structures healthy. Meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential for dental implants to be successful in the long term.

Ultimate Medellin Travel Guide

By: Author MC Miller

Posted on Last updated: July 29, 2023

Categories City Guides , Colombia , South America , Travel Guides

Far from the heady days of the 80s when Pablo Escobar terrorized the population contemporary visitors to Medellín will find a thriving modern city and welcoming natives looking to change a tarnished reputation one smile at a time.

The Medellin travel guide covers what to do, where to stay, which day trips you can’t miss, and what to eat & drink.

At the end we’ll share with you some tips for day trips, and where you should travel next in Colombia. Plus find out the best way to travel from Medellín to Salento .

Essential Things to do in Medellin

Medellín is a sprawling city with a diverse range of things to do to keep everyone happy.

We cover the things we did which we actually enjoyed.

Taking a trip to Park Arvi is a cool way to kick back to nature for a day.

While there are some nice forest tracks at the top, the best part of this place is getting the metro cable up.

The nature view as you ride the metro cable is absolutely stunning.

The metro cable also gives you a birds eye view of how the locals live as you pass communities on the way up.

If you are so inclined, you can even experience some adrenaline junkie sports such as zip lining at Park Avri.

The hours of operation of the cable going to Park Avri are 9.00am to 6.30pm.

How to get to Park Arvi

Take the metro cable first to the community of Santo Domingo.

You can explore Santo Domingo for a while and taste some traditional street food including arepas and plantains on your way to Park Avri.

This section of the metro cable costs 2200 pesos per person.

From there, take a second metro cable to Park Avri for 5000 pesos.

Metro Cable to Park Avri

Hiking in Park Avri

Plaza Minorista Fruit Market

Colombia is full of exotic fruits and the good news is you don’t have to leave the capital to find them.

If you want to try all the exotic fruits Colombia has to offer be sure to take a trip to Plaza Minorista fruit market .

This place is also your best bet if you want to score some good deals on fruit.

How to get to Plaza Minorista

To get to the Plaza Minorista market, take the metro to Minorista station.

We visited this market by ourselves. However, if you are interested in knowing more about the fruits at this market then you can always sign up for an exotic fruits tour for 45,000 pesos per person.

Plaza Minorista fruit market

Guava Fruit @ Market

Lleras Park

If you are looking for a trendy area to enjoy a beer in the park or a nice hipster restaurant to eat, look no further than Lleras park.

While this area is practically dead during the day, it comes alive at night and is definitely worth checking out.

Parque San Antonio

Perhaps the biggest reminder of Medellin’s past as the worlds most dangerous city can be seen at Parque San Antonio.

Here, two bird sculptures of the famous Columbian artist Fernando Botero stand. In 1995, one bird was blown by a guerrilla group killing 20 people.

These days the sculptures stand as a symbol of the progression the country as made – from a country living in fear to the Medellin of today where people walk around the street without fear.

Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica

This cathedral was once dubbed the biggest in the world by a prominent travel advisory who hadn’t bothered to visit the city.

While this claim is in fact incorrect, the cathedral is still worth half an hour of your time as it is just gorgeous inside.

Plaza Botero

In Plaza Botero, you can admire many of the statues of the artist Botero which play with size proportion and surround Palacio de la Cultura Rafael Uribe, a gothic checker board pattern style building designed by a Belgian artist.

Palacio de la Cultura Rafael Uribe

Botero statutes

Plaza Cisneros

Plaza Cisneros is yet another example of the transformation of the city of Medellin.

The area used to be dangerous and plagued by drug violence.

However, nowadays light columns have been inserted to symbolise the hope and prosperity of the city.

If you visit at night, the columns illuminate with light. There are also complimentary bathrooms in the area.

Go on a free city walking tour

The free city walking tour will take you to many attractions including Parque San Antonio, Metropolitan Cathedral, Plaza Botero, Plaza Cisneros among other things.

Our guide taught us many interesting facts about the city including not to offer Papaya, meaning if you give someone an opportunity they will take it.

In other words, take care of your belongings or someone will take the opportunity to take them from you.

The tour is free but the guide expects a tip for his or her time at the end.

If you prefer to hear more about the transformation of the city, a better tour may be the Pablo Escobar Tour  which costs around $60 per person.

Real City Walking Tours

Take a day trip to Guatape

Just two hours outside of Medellin lies the gorgeous, colourful town of Guatape where you can experience ‘the best view in the world’.

We were pleased this wasn’t just a marketing gimmick – the view is really special. Below is a photo of the incredible rock(?) you climb.

We wrote about how to get to Guatape from Medellin – there’s photos of the incredible view too!

Where is the best place to stay in Medellin?

Most tourists chose to stay in the El Poblado area of Medellin.

This is primarily due to the safety of the area and the proximity to bars and restaurants. We would highly recommend staying in this area. Read our post for more details about the best places to stay in Medellin .

You can get a clean and comfortable double room for $20 -30 USD a night.

We stayed at a place called  Guest House Poblado  which we would highly recommend because it was clean and comfortable.

Medellín Restaurants & Bars

Medellin is a very cheap city by Western standards. However, it is a little more pricey compared to other cities in Columbia.

Expect to pay between 10,000 to 30,000 for a meal at a cheap to moderate restaurant in the city.

A beer usually costs between 3,000 – 6,000 pesos depending on where you go and what you order.

A trip to Medellin wouldn’t be complete without trying the typical Colombian dish Bandeja Paisa.

You can buy the dish all over the city. We would highly recommend trying the restaurant  Mondongos.

It costs 30,000 for a huge dish that could easily feed two. If you want to keep costs low, Medellin also has some great street food to try.

On virtually every corner, you can buy an Arepa or a fried plantain with cheese (our personal favourite) for around 3000 pesos.

Another interesting thing to try in the city is the refreshing Colombian drink, Guarapo, which you can buy off street vendors in the city centre for only 1000 pesos.

Columbia is also home to some of the world’s best coffee so if you are a coffee lover you are sure to find a good cup while in Medellin.

For great Colombian coffee in the Poblado area, try Velvet cafe . For a place with great wifi, Starbucks has recently entered the Medellin market and sells coffee (by Starbucks standards) at bargain basement prices.

How to get to Medellin?

From Medellin, there is easy bus connections to Bogota, Cartagena and Salento Colmbia . Check out the best Salento Hotels including instagrammable eco lodges, romantic hideaways and the most pumping backpacker hostels near the party zones.

Here’s a guide to traveling from Medellin to Cartagena by air and bus. 

Arriving in (MDE) Medellín Jose Maria Cordova Intl

Good news: Uber is legal in Colombia! This makes getting to and from Medellín Jose Maria Cordova Intl airport fast, simple and cheap. No need to haggle for deals.

MDE, commonly abbreviated when discussing it to Medellín Jose or Cordova Intl, is south west of town, about a 30 minute drive in duration.

Dra. Adriana Maria Castaño M.

American Board-certified Periodontist, Founder and Clinical Director of International Smiles

“Every time you try to be a loving person, you are doing your part to save the world”

Maryanne williamson..

Dr. Adriana Castaño has been in private practice for more than 20 years, serving patients from all over the world. She has extensive training that includes: Periodontics, aesthetic dentistry, Traditional Chinese Medicine, neural and ozone therapy, neuro linguistic programming and psychology, facial rejuvenation with the application of dermal fillers and toxin botulinic.

In 1998, Dr. Adriana Castaño graduated from CES University, one of the top Dental Schools in Colombia. In 2000 she was granted a position at the International Exchange program from the Harvard Dental School of Medicine in Boston. Soon after, she moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL, where she finished her Residency Program in Advanced Education in General Dentistry and also obtained her certificate as a Periodontist at Nova Southeastern University in 2008, became licensed in the States of Florida and Texas, got board certified from the American Academy of Periodontology and practiced in US periodontics for 3 years. After Returning to her Colombian roots, she founded International Smiles in 2013, giving life to her long-held dream of practicing dentistry with a human touch in her home state.

Going to the dentist can be an anxiety inducing experience, therefore, Dr. Castaño focuses on providing individualized treatment for each patient in a calm, comfortable and friendly environment. Periodontal treatment is not a single event visit to the Dentist. It usually requires a long-term relationship that does not disappear. Just like family, periodontal treatment and maintenance sticks with you, and a periodontist is there to help you in mostly good times, but especially when you have issues you need addressed.

She strives to understand the unique priorities of her patients and customize the treatment to create a unique experience that would help change the stigma of receiving dental care.

Aside from being your dentist, Dr. Castaño is a bookworm, good dancer, wife and a great mother of a young daughter. Always keeping a kind smile, Dr. Castaño will focus as much on quality care as your comfort, to make you feel at home, because practicing excellent dentistry is what a dentist does every day… but practicing excellent dentistry AND providing friendly, compassionate care to her patients is only possible because of Dr. Castaño commitment and her dedicated staff.

Pursuant of higher expertise, Dr. Rizzo is finishing her advanced post graduate education, at the CIEO University in Bogota: she makes it her personal mission to make your smile as beautiful and natural as it can be. Even the smallest details are important when it comes to creating that bright and healthy smile.

 Quite involved in the Colombian communities, Dr. Rizzo joined the Colombian Air Force, providing services to military personnel and residents of Medellin’s poorest neighborhoods. She has also practiced dentistry for SURA, the National Insurance Company of Colombia. She loves connecting with her patients on a personal level and helping them achieve their dental goals, and she believes in treating patients as she would family. Communicating transparently and educating patients, along with creating a warm atmosphere and a high level of trust with patients is of the utmost importance to her. This is the perfect fit for International Smile’s patient-centered approach, for that sense of community created among the dental team and patients.

 When Dr. Rizzo isn’t working to make people smile, she is an avid kitchen enthusiast, devoted to nature hikers and always looking for the next cup of coffee to try in Medellin.

United Adds 3 New International Flights for 2024

United Airlines is growing its international route network once again.

The Chicago-based airline just announced three brand-new international destinations and plans to add more frequent flights to locales it already serves.

Later this year, the airline will begin offering nonstop flights to Medellín, Colombia; Marrakech, Morocco; and Cebu, Philippines. All told, the new routes will bring United's nonstop service to 134 international destinations spanning 67 countries.

Here's everything you need to know about the new (and expanding) routes.

Marrakech, Morocco

As of October 24, 2024, travelers will be able to connect directly from New York's Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) to Morocco's Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK). The flights will operate three times a week on Boeing 767-300ER planes, which feature 46 Polaris business-class pods, 22 Premium Plus recliners, 43 Economy Plus extra-legroom seats, and 56 economy seats. Planes will depart Newark at 12:45 p.m. (on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) and arrive in Morocco the following day at 11:20 a.m. (local time), with the return flight (on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday) departing Morocco at 1:20 p.m. and touching down in Newark at 4:25 p.m. (local time).

The route will run through mid-spring 2025, according to United. The tickets aren't yet bookable, as they're currently subject to government approval.

Medellín, Colombia

Starting October 27, 2024, United plans to fly nonstop from Houston's George Bush International Airport (IAH) to Medellín, Colombia's José María Córdova International Airport (MDE). The daily flights-which will be operated on Boeing 737-8 Max aircraft-will depart Houston at 4:29 p.m. and arrive in Medellín at 10:05 p.m. (local time). Going the reverse direction, planes will depart Medellín at 10:45 a.m. and reach Texas at 2:38 p.m. Like those for Marrakech, the tickets will be bookable as soon as United has government approval, though there's no word on when that will be.

Though this is United's first flight path to Medellín, the carrier already flies to Bogotá from Houston and Newark.

Cebu, Philippines

When United launches its service to Cebu City on October 27, 2024, it'll be the only U.S. carrier that reaches the Philippines city, which serves as a gateway to Cebu Island and its white-sand beaches, waterfalls, and incredible diving scenery. Granted, the nonstop service isn't departing from American soil-it leaves from Tokyo's Narita International Airport (which is accessible with direct flights from Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, and San Francisco).

The daily, year-round service will operate on Boeing 737-800 aircraft, with planes departing Tokyo at 5:25 p.m. and arriving at Cebu at 9:35 p.m. (a flight of 5 hours and 10 minutes with the time change). The return journey will leave the Philippines at 9:15 a.m. and arrive in Tokyo at 3:20 p.m. local time.

The airline already runs a direct flight between San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) in the Philippines.

Additional United international flights

Beyond the three new routes, United announced that it would expand service to destinations with strong demand, including:

• Newark to Porto, Portugal: A second daily flight will be added starting May 23.
• Los Angeles to Hong Kong: A second daily flight will be added starting October 26.
• San Francisco to Seoul, South Korea: A second daily flight will be added starting October 27.
• Los Angeles to Shanghai: Starting August 29, there will be four weekly flights (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday) with return flights taking place every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

United has been particularly bullish about adding flight paths to so-called second cities in recent years. In December 2023, United launched the only nonstop flight from the United States to Christchurch, New Zealand . One route, however, that is going away before it even starts is a direct flight to Faro, Portugal , which was supposed to launch this spring and has been postponed until summer 2025. Impacted customers are being offered a full refund or United will rebook travel on a partner airline without a fee.
