Thursday, February 27 (DAY 1) • Arrive in Medellín into Jose Maria Cordova International Airport where your airport pickup will transfer you to Tribe Hotel. • Join your fellow travelers for a very special welcome dinner at one of my favorite rooftop restaurants in the city. Friday, February 28 (DAY 2) • We’ll enjoy breakfast at Tribe Hotel before heading out for a day trip to the colorful town of Guatapé where we’ll climb the 600+ steps of Piedra del Peñol (don’t worry, it takes just about 20 minutes and the views are so worth it!) and explore the beautiful streets. • Enjoy a delicious lunch in Guatapé. • After a busy morning & afternoon, enjoy some free time back in Poblado. • We’ll get dressed up to hit the town - it’s Friday night in Medellín! 💃 We’ll enjoy an amazing group dinner, and then the night is ours to enjoy. Saturday, March 1 (DAY 3) • After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll be picked up to take a guided tour of Comuna 13. Once the city’s most dangerous neighborhood, it’s now been transformed into a cultural hub packed with stunning art, street performers, music and excitement. Learning about the history of this area is essential to understanding Medellín’s past and how it is reflected in the present. We’ll also check out a few other iconic spots in the city. • In the evening, we’ll head to one of the best places in the city to enjoy authentic Colombian food - my favorite is the bandeja paisa! • If you’re energized, join us for a night filled with reggaeton and dancing! Sunday, March 2 (DAY 4) • Sundays are for brunch, so after sleeping in and enjoying a slower morning, we’ll enjoy a group brunch at one of my favorite cafes. The coffees here are to die for, but a mimosa works too 😉 • We’ll enjoy a coffee tasting experience with an expert barista and get to learn about Colombian coffee, known as some of the best in the world. • In my opinion, free time is absolutely essential on a trip in Medellín! The afternoon is yours to explore, enjoy beauty treatments, get a tattoo, go to the spa, or go shopping (just some ideas! ✨) - we’ll organize with the group so that nobody has to do anything alone! • All good things come to an end, but we’re going out in style - we’ll enjoy our “farewell dinner” at the dreamiest restaurant with a view that will leave you speechless. Wear something cute bc you’re going to want pics! Monday, March 3 (DAY 5) • It’s time to say goodbye, but we’ll be going home with so many new memories AND friendships! • If you have time, enjoy one last breakfast at the hotel. • Your airport transfer will pick you up from the hostel and take you to the airport, according to your departure time.

Hi! I'm Mackenzie, AKA Girl Going Travel.
I'm creating a life filled with travel in my twenties, with no plans of stopping anytime soon. In the past year, I've solo-traveled to over twenty countries! 🤩 Along the way, I started sharing my journey online, and Girl Going Travel was born.
I've received countless messages along the way from women who dream of bringing more travel into their life, but are afraid to do it on their own, or simply don't know where to start. It's my mission to not only empower women to step outside of their comfort zones and discover new parts of the world, but to provide safe, guided, curated, and unforgettable opportunities for us to do it together.
I'm passionate about experiencing new cultures, embarking on exciting adventures, uplifting and empowering myself and others, and that is the very essence of this group trip.
Medellín holds a special place in my heart as one of my absolute favorite cities in the world. I have spent a ton of time in the city myself and that's why I look forward to guiding you to some of my favorite places and experiences here - as well as experiencing new ones together!
