Parque Arví Cable Car & Nature Reserve
Medellín, Colombia
About This Activity
Parque Arví is a 16,000-hectare ecological reserve in the mountains above Medellín, reached by a spectacular aerial cable car (Metrocable Line L) that swings out over hillside barrios and into the cloud forest canopy. At the top, trails wind through secondary forest with orchids, butterflies, and migratory birds. A weekend artisan market sells organic produce, honey, and crafts from local communities. The round-trip cable car ride alone is one of Medellín's most memorable experiences. Use the metro + cable combination for the full journey.
