Savaneta Park

Don't skip the food carts nearby! I tried some local street food that was honestly better than some restaurants and super inexpensive.

Wear comfortable shoes – the paths can be uneven, and you want to explore without worrying about sore feet later on.

Keep an eye out for free events on the park's social media; I stumbled upon an awesome live music session by chance.
Desires Park

Do wear comfortable shoes. Some parts of the park have uneven paths and you don't want to be tripping around while enjoying the scenery.

I suggest bringing a picnic! The park has some really nice spots to chill and enjoy some food. You can save money by grabbing some snacks from local shops before going in.
I recommend visiting during the week to avoid the crowds. I went on a Saturday, and it felt a bit packed, which took away from the experience.

Don't forget your camera! There are so many Instagram-worthy spots here. I missed a few because I didn’t think to capture them when I was exploring.
Arvi Park

I think the cable car ride is a must-do. But try to get there by 8 AM to avoid the long lines and enjoy the view in peace.
El Poblado Park

I recommend visiting El Poblado Park in the early morning, like around 8 AM. It’s way quieter then, and you can really enjoy the beauty without the crowds.

I suggest checking the weather before you go. It can rain out of nowhere, so keeping an eye on the forecast saves you from getting soaked!

I think it’s a great idea to wear comfy shoes. The paths can get a little uneven, and you’ll want to stroll around without any pain.
Medellin River Parks

Don’t forget your camera! The views along the river and the parks are stunning, and I regret not capturing more moments when I was there.

Make sure to take a bike ride along the river! I rented one at a kiosk for just a few bucks, and it was such a fun way to see more of the area.
Lieras Park

Bring some cash for the little vendors selling snacks and drinks inside the park. They have some delicius arepas that are way cheaper than in stores.

Watch out for the weather! It can change quickly. Bringing a small umbrella or poncho can save you from getting drenched unexpectedly.

I think the view from the top of the park is beutiful, so make sure you hike up there. It’s a great photo op and a nice resting spot.

I recommend visiting Lieras Park in the morning, around 8 AM, when it's less crowded and the weather is cooler. Perfect time for a nice stroll!
Berrio Park

If you want to save money I recommend taking the metro to the Berrio station. It's super cheap and efficient compared to taxis.

I suggest visiting the nearby plaza to enjoy additional street performances. The vibe is totally different, and you'll catch some local culture there, especially in the afternoon!

My advice is to keep an eye on your belongings. While the park felt safe, like in any city, it's smart to stay alert and avoid showing valuables.

When I visited, I found some street vendors selling yummy snacks. I recommend trying the empanadas; they were cheap and delicious!
Park Plays Descalsos

I think you should check out the local food stalls outside the park. The prices are way better than the eatery inside, and the local flavors are fantastic!

If you can, visit on a weekday. The crowd levels are much lower, and you can fully enjoy the tranquility of the place without feeling rushed or jostled around.

My advice is to carry a small backpack for your essentials. It's super convenient to just grab what you need and not have to carry a purse around while exploring.

My advice is to visit in the early morning around 8 AM when the park is less crowded and the weather is nice. You’ll enjoy a peaceful stroll and great photo ops.
Park Conservation

Wear comfortable shoes. I did a lot of walking and my feet were sore by the end of the day. Flip-flops won’t cut it here.

Look for discounts online before you go. I saved a bit by checking for promo codes, and it helped me splurge on a nicer meal afterwards!
Bolivar Park

I suggest bringing a reusable water bottle. There are fountains around, and it saves you from buying overpriced drinks. Staying hydrated while wandering is a big win!

Don’t spend too much time at the entrance – the best views and photospots are deeper into the park. I think exploring past the front area makes for a more fun day!

Keep an eye on your belongings. I thought I was safe in the park, but I noticed some folks seemed a bit shady. Looks like prevention is key for a hassle-free day.
