Top Dating Destinations in Medellin Colombian Women Love
Way back in the 1980’s to 1990’s, visiting Medellin wasn’t encouraged at all. Around this period, this second largest city in Colombia had the highest murder rate around the world. But at present, its table for tourism is tipped over.
If you are a passionate traveler and seeker of true love, Medellin should be one of the top cities in your bucket list. It’s even more exciting and romantic when you’re exploring the most popular attractions with Colombian women (who you can meet through dating sites or apps).
Medellin’s dark days are over. Aside from the fact that it’s now a safe and accommodating city, here are other reasons why you should visit Medellin and meet Colombian women there:
- It is the City of Eternal Spring
- The nightlife is incredible
- Easy means of public transportation
- The people are hospitable
- Natural beauty surrounds
In terms of weather, Medellin lives up to its title. Though it rains often enough, it never gets cold considering Colombia is a tropical country. The average temperature of the city all year-round ranges from 22°C (72°F) to 30°C (86°F). So there are always plenty of things to do in Medellin given its ideal climate.
Even if you’re not a heavy partier, the city offers quality nightclubs so you can enjoy the Medellin Colombia nightlife scene. So many tourists visit Medellin because of this. One of the most popular spots is El Poblado, which attracts most backpacker tourists.
It doesn’t matter if you go to the city with a date or to look for the right Colombian girl; in this place, you’re sure to find the right woman among the many bars.
The city was awarded as the “Innovative City of the Year” last 2013, which it truly deserves. One of the reasons Medellin won the award is because it uses ingenious metro cable cars to reach very isolated neighborhoods.
It also has a metro station, which Medellin residents take pride in given that Bogota—the most populated city in Colombia and a real rival of their city—doesn’t have one yet. Plus, it’s clean, orderly, and well-maintained. Because of these modes of transport, a trip around Medellin doesn’t have to be that costly.
Medellin people, otherwise known as paisas, are incredibly amiable. Generally, Colombians are known for being friendly, but paisas’ friendliness is on another level. You may meet these people in the street or you might even encounter Medellin women who would so suddenly smile at you. In other cases, they may even talk to you with some random conversations. However the locals greet you, you would surely feel welcome here.
Wherever you go in Medellin, you’re sure to have a scenic view of the mountains and other enthralling landscapes.
Top Dating Destinations in Medellin That Colombian Women LOVE
One of the best gifts for a Colombian woman is to bring them to some of the most scenic places in the city. Here are some of the best Medellin attractions to take your Colombian date into:
- Botanical Gardens
- Plaza Botero and the Museum of Antioquia
- Toucan Café
- Pueblito Paisa
- Barefoot Park
- Parque Explora
- El Poblado
This is an ideal place to visit for nature lovers. The city’s botanical gardens consist of 4,500 flowers and a thousand species of wildlife. It also has a huge collection of orchids, a butterfly garden, and a cactus garden.
The best thing is that entering the gardens is free of charge. You can have a picnic date with a Colombian girl here. If you come during the city’s flower festival, you’ll certainly be more amazed. Throughout the year, there are also several festivals, concerts, and events conducted in the gardens.
Plaza Botero, named after the hometown hero Fernando Botero, houses 23 humongous sculptures that have now become the city’s most iconic symbol. More of the artist’s works are displayed in Museo de Antioquia, which is arguably the most photographed place in the entire country.
Museo de Antioquia not only displays a bunch of Botero’s sculptures but it’s also a home to numerous pre-Colombian works of other famous artists (both national and international).
If you are a foodie, this is the best place to go for a date. Let your Colombian woman be your guide to the best Colombian dishes. You can even watch how Medellin’s local favorites are cooked.
Toucan café particularly offers street food. So if you want to try some more exotic dishes, don’t miss the kind of cuisine paisas take pride in.
This is a mock town on top of Cerro Nutibara, which is like a living museum. When you visit, it’s almost like you’re actually in ancient Antioquia. The village consists of a mayor's office, one-room schoolhouse, traditional town square, and a barbershop.
But there are also a lot of handicraft and souvenir shops you can check out as well. And if you are on a date, there are also noteworthy restaurants you can bring your date to.
You can even try the classical dishes in the village, such as a belly-busting platter of ground meat, avocados served with rice and refried beans, fried plantains, pork cracklings, and bandeja paisa.
What’s unique about this park is visitors are encouraged to take off their shoes when wandering through the sandy pits, green gardens, and bubbling water fountains. This way, you get to experience and feel different textures.
The purpose of this park is to reconnect with nature the way ancient humans originally did. This is the most beloved and bizarre part of the city which you and your date will surely enjoy, so take a romantic walk around this park.
This place is an interactive science museum with 300 interactive exhibits inside the building’s four red cubes. There’s also a television studio, planetarium, and 3D auditorium. Interestingly, it also houses South America’s largest freshwater aquarium.
Conveniently, it’s near the shopping malls and botanical gardens. So, after you and your date are done experiencing Parque Explora, there are places nearby where you can unwind.
This is probably the place in Medellin where most tourists stay because it has plenty of hotels, inns, and other forms of accommodation. But there are also plenty of high-end restaurants and cafės all around, so you and your date don’t have to go far for a place to unwind.
Take note of these places when going out on a date with Colombian women in Medellin.
