El Picacho Viewpoint Medellín Panoramic Views at Sunset and Night

We will take the metro and the cable car to ascend the western slope of the valley. We will go from an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters above sea level at the meeting point to about 2,000 meters near the La Aurora Metrocable station. From there, we will take a vehicle that continues along the mountainside to the El Picacho Viewpoint. Metro and cable car tickets are included in the tour price.

Once at El Picacho, we will walk up about 300 steps to the summit, home to the Christ viewpoint. There, we will enjoy the most comprehensive panoramic view of the city. Using binoculars, we will point out and discuss key locations that define Medellín’s past and present. We will watch the transition from late afternoon to nightfall from the heights. We can take photos and videos using your own camera or phone, or even capture drone footage—provided you book the option that includes this service.

Later in the evening, we will once again board a vehicle to travel through the streets of the El Picacho neighborhood, a working-class area of the city. From the vehicle, you will be able to see and experience the authentic, real, day-to-day life of this community (which is not a tourist area).

Finally, we will take another cable car to the Acevedo metro station. We will conclude the tour there and explain which station to head to and what other mode of transport to take to continue your activities or return to your accommodation. Cable car and metro tickets are included in the tour price.
