Last November 2020, Medellín was the winner of the World Travel Awards, considered the ‘Oscar’ of tourism, as ‘Leading Urban Getaway Destination in South America 2020’, a category in which it competed with destinations such as Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Lima, Rio de Janeiro, among others.

The recognition reinforces the tourist vocation of the city in terms of social and urban transformation and the cultural, nature, and gastronomy offer that Medellín manages to combine in a single destination and that makes it increasingly attractive for visitors who come to the city.
