03 · Third stop · Nutibara Hill

Pueblito Paisa

To close the tour we go up Nutibara Hill, one of the guardian hills of Medellín. At its top, since 1978, Pueblito Paisa recreates an Antioquian town from the early twentieth century: the cobbled plaza with its fountain, the church, the parish house, the town hall, the school and the barbershop, built with doors, windows and pieces rescued from the old town of El Peñol. Among wooden balconies and colorful facades, the oral tradition of Antioquia comes alive in a show of trovas, and the lookout opens the most complete panorama of the Aburrá Valley, with the whole city at our feet: the perfect close for the City Tour and for the photographs of the day.

Trova show

• A walk through one of the most iconic places in Medellín: the replica of an early-twentieth-century Antioquian town.
• A show of trovas, the rhymed improvisation that is the oral tradition of Antioquia.

• Many photo spots among the plaza, the balconies and the panorama of Medellín.
