Among other things, Medellín is known for its incredible Metrocable, an extensive network of gondola cars that stretch up into the surrounding mountains. In the past, Medellín was called the most dangerous city in the world. If you lived in the neighbourhoods further away from the centre, it was difficult to get into the city for important things like work, school, and food. The Metrocable improves accessibility and has been a huge factor in transforming the city. We decided to ride it ourselves and - WOW - it's an incredible way to get a bird's eye view of the sprawling city. It's public transit as well so the cost is low. I made friends with someone in the same car and we chatted about Colombia and how he takes the Metrocable to his university each day. Marc and I got out at Santo Domingo and transferred to the second Metrocable line which goes so high up we could see the clouds beneath us! It takes you across the top of the mountain and lets you off at Parque Arví, an ecological nature reserve full of gorgeous trees. There are nature trails, archaeological sites, and a market where we ate delicious empanadas and tried Colombian fruit from a woman who grows it in her garden. The uchuva is my new favourite! I loved experiencing the Metrocable and definitely recommend riding it if you're in Medellín.
