The Pueblito Paisa sits on top of Cerro Nutibara. It's a replica of an Antioquian village from the late 19th and early 20th centuries: a cobblestone square, a white church, a town hall, a barbershop, a school and shops, surrounded by colorful houses and gardens.
You take in the architecture, the crafts and the traditional food: bandeja paisa, arepas and sweets. There are souvenir and craft shops. It's family-friendly and good for taking photos at your own pace.
It has a 360° lookout where you can see the Aburrá Valley and the mountains around it. The hill also has the Museo de la Ciudad, art exhibitions and outdoor sculptures.
Entry is free. You can get there by taxi, bus, metro (Industriales station) or on foot. It's a well-kept, safe place.
