Why come to Medellín?

MEDELLIN, THE CITY OF ETERNAL SPRING

You could teach abroad in many different locations, but one differentiator is the city you go. Medellin is the city you should strongly consider. Medellin is considered the best city to live in Colombia due to the spring-like weather year-round, flora and fauna, life-style, and health culture.

The best way to get around Medellín depends mainly on your itinerary. The metro can be convenient for urban trips within the network; buses help you reach other parts of the city; apps work well for one-time trips; and renting a car can offer greater flexibility when your trip includes different areas or destinations in the surrounding region.

In Medellín, temperatures range from 71 to 82 (20 a 27 C) degrees Fahrenheit almost all year round.

You can enjoy a wide variety of activities in public spaces completely free of charge, organized by category so you can make the most of your time.

On Sundays, the streets are transformed into sports venues from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
