My Trip To Medellin

I spent March 12 to 20 (2010) visiting the Medellin, Colombia area with my daughter, a first year university student (minoring in Spanish). We spent the nights of March 12 & 13 (Friday/Saturday) and March 16 to 19 (Tuesday to Friday) in the Poblado district of Medellin at the Waypoint Hostel.

On Sunday we journeyed three hours east of Medellin to the Rio Claro Nature Refuge, which is about 40 km west of the city of Puerto Truinfo. We stayed there on March 14 and 15 (Sunday/Monday). The hotel is a complex of 24 small cabins just off the highway. This is a rural area in the hot humid lowlands of the Magdalena River Valley.
