Parque Arví

Take the iconic metrocable for panoramic city views on your way to this immense forested park, then enjoy a self-guided hike through lush trails.

In their own words: “Arví is an immense forested park soaring high above the city. It's easily accessible from Medellin via the iconic metrocable. Starting from Acevedo station in the north of the city, you get on cable Line K, which takes you to the Santo Domingo station. Then, you transfer to the cable Line L to Arví. This cable car trip to reach the park takes about half an hour and offers some great panoramic city views. You'll also get a unique perspective gliding through the treetops of the forest. Once you exit the cable car, you can do a short hike through the lush forest and spot diverse flora and fauna. This loop is the only one in the park that you can do without a guide. Since the park sits at an altitude of 2,100 meters or 6,889 feet, you can breathe in the crisp mountain air.”
