Official Guide

Detailed itinerary

Calienticos y Deliciosos is a legendary 24/7 snack spot in Barrio Antioquia, famous for inventing the original stuffed buñuelo — a warm, cheesy Colombian delight. This is where your tour begins: a well-lit, welcoming meeting point where Viator guests are exclusively treated to a free buñuelo and drink while getting an introduction to the neighborhood’s culture and story.

Barrio Antioquia is one of Medellín’s most vibrant and authentic neighborhoods, known for its raw street culture and community energy. As we walk through Calle 25, you’ll discover colorful graffiti murals and lively street vendors — a powerful contrast between tradition and urban expression.

The Santísima Trinidad Church is the heart of Barrio Antioquia — a grand, peaceful landmark that stands in contrast to the buzzing streets around it. Built in the mid-20th century, it’s not just a place of worship, but a cultural symbol for the community, anchoring the neighborhood with tradition and pride.

The main event of this tour: Los piques are an electrifying local tradition where motorcycle riders gather at night to show off daring stunts, wheelies, and high-speed drags in the streets of Medellín. It’s raw, loud, and full of adrenaline — a true underground scene that captures the rebellious spirit of the city’s youth culture.

What's not included

We will meet at the meeting point and the tour is entirely done on foot.

Additional drinks and snacks are at your own cost, make sure to bring some cash.
