Top 9 Botanical Garden Visits in Colombia

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 20 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $85Our pick

Medellín’s Botanical Garden and Arví Park with Metrocable views, hotel pickup, and included entrances for a nature break near the city.

“They ran out of tour guides that spoke English. So we had to use a very nice driver that didn’t speak English so we had no idea what was going on. He dropped us off at one location and said he would be back in 30 minutes. He came back in 45 minutes. That could have been a translation issue. There were three of us and the car was very tiny. The ride is very long so a larger car would have been better.”
