Wednesdays it’s really fun to go to Dance Free on Calle 10A. They do free Salsa and sometimes Bachata lessons. although the ratio of women to men is low sometimes, it’s still fun because I like to dance and I like to learn.

Neighborhoods
Guatape is a colorful pueblo located about two hours by bus from Medellín. It can easily be visited as a long day trip, either independently (it’s safe) or as part of an organized tour. A one-way bus ticket costs about 12,000 pesos ($4.15 USD).
Guatape is situated on the edge of a lake, and it’s possible to take tours of the surrounding area by speed boat or party boat. You’ll see more with the former, including the remains of one of Pablo Escobar’s former homes.
A 15-minute rickshaw ride from Guatape is El Peñol, a granite monolith with over 700 concrete stairs etched in its side. For a few thousand pesos (a few dollars), visitors can climb to the top for breathtaking 360-degree views of the region. Rock climbing is also an option, if you prefer a challenge.

Santa Fe de Antioquia became the first capital of the department of Antioquia all the way back in 1584. Santa Fe can be reached within an hour by bus, and due to its lower elevation, it’s NOTICEABLY WARMER!
And as if this list isn’t long enough to keep you busy, there are a dozen or so festivals in Medellín each year, celebrating everything from Christmas lights and flowers to salsa, tango, jazz, and poetry.
Backpackers and budget travelers who take advantage of the local transport, eat like a local, and don’t go overboard with their partying can experience the city for as little as $40 a day. Add Sante fe

That’s the way I picture it. I’m not sure how else to explain the beauty of this place, this is perhaps the prettiest town I have came across in Colombia. It’s also a great coffee farm town filled with tours which you can actual go see how the coffee is produced.
It is a nice trip, 18,000 pesos (about $10) for the bus and if you stay the night, anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000 pesos ($11 to $22) for lodging. A meal should not cost you more than 10,000 pesos (about $5.50).
