This is a good place to go for views of the city. Trees can block the view in some places though. There is also a nice miniature town at the top and a few walks you can take. Taxis were also waiting at the top so it was easy to come back.
if you are limited on time in Medellin, this is a great place to come with views up and down the valley and across the rooftops of the city. On a clear day you can see at least 10 miles up and down the valley and get a great perspective on this amazing location. Alongside the museum is a small collection of historic buildings and a bustling marketplace full of touristy goods to take home as souvenirs. A splendid location for a quick beer and spectacular views.
The Cerro Nutibara is one of the seven hills of Medellin and has a large terrace from where you can see much of the Aburra Valley and the city of Medellin. It is a natural park in the heart of the city and similar to most parks with a nice view.
This is basically a steep knoll in the middle of the city, with great views all around. It is a fantastic place to get easy 360 degree panorama views of the entire valley that Medellin occupies, close to downtown. On top of the hill there is also a (replica-ish) historic village square with the usual souvenir stands, and a small municipal museum that has exhibits (e.g. photography). The museum and the square are ok (and by themselves would not be worth a stop in your tour of Medellin), the only real reason to go here is for the panoramic roof terrace with the views which should definitely be part of even the shortest visit to Medellin.
I am Colombian and I took my boyfriend from New Zealand to Medellin , he had so much and love this place I also really like it , everytime I go back to Medellin I try to visit el creep nutibara and have a nice meal at the restaurant !
at top you find the pueblito paisa, museum kiosk, with all type of food and souvenirs, plus the almost 360 degree view of Medellin.
We came here with our tour guide Willie who was amazing. We had a coffee because it was raining before we started. The little village is cute, and there are great views of city.
waste of time and cab fare...this is also known as "Pueblito Paisa" Although access is free its a total waste of your time.
I can definitely recommend Cerro Nutibara. It is easy to get to as it is geographically central to Medellin; a short walk from the Industriales Metro. It provides a nice view of the city. It has a "typical" Paisa village at the top. It is a nice place to eat lunch and spend an hour or two.
A quick way of grasping local customs and food from this traditional region of Colombia. It also provides a comprehensive view of the entire city
