Tour Description
This tour is available every day throughout the year, with departures at 7:00 PM and returns around 11:00 PM. The party bus, known as the chiva, will pick you up from your accommodation in downtown Medellín or a designated meeting point according to your location.
Right from the start, the ambiance sets the stage: live music, a burst of vibrant colors, and the unmistakable energy of a Medellín night. As the chiva revs up, the adventure kicks off along Las Palmas, one of the city's most iconic streets, offering stunning panoramic views of the illuminated Aburrá Valley, showcasing the city's vastness from above.
The journey proceeds down La 70, a bustling strip of bars and restaurants in Laureles, where Medellín's nightlife dances to its own beat. Following that is La 33 in the Conquistadores neighborhood, a classic local hangout, and then Provenza in El Poblado, the city's most cosmopolitan area, known for its blend of tourists, locals, and exceptional dining experiences.
A major highlight of the tour is the stop in Itagüí or Sabaneta, two municipalities in the southern Aburrá Valley rich in Paisa cultural identity. Here, you'll disembark from the traditional chiva bus, explore the surroundings, and experience firsthand why Antioquian culture extends beyond Medellín's borders. Sabaneta, in particular, is celebrated for its religious devotion, quaint small-town vibe, and distinctive party scene.
The journey back to Medellín concludes with the same lively spirit that marked the beginning of the tour.
