About this activity

There are viewpoints, and then there's this one. Taller than Cerro Picacho and practically unknown, this place is a real hidden gem in the mountains of Medellin.

The experience begins with an authentic route through neighborhoods full of history, where you will begin to connect with the real city, away from the touristic.

As we ascend towards the territory of St Helena, the environment changes and you enter a more natural area, until you reach a unique point within the area of influence of the Arví Park. An exclusive country viewpoint awaits you there.

An intimate space, surrounded by nature, where the experience is transformed: campfire, music, lights and an atmosphere designed to disconnect you from the noise and connect with the city from another perspective. From this privileged point you can see a complete panoramic view of the Aburrá Valley: Medellín, Bello, Envigado, Itagüí, La Estrella, all illuminated under the night sky. It's not a massive place. It's not an ordinary viewpoint.
