Para ampliar la perspectiva de los extranjeros sobre la ciudad

Many people, not only foreigners, but also Colombians and even those born and raised in Medellín, know very little about the history, geography, and culture of the city and its surroundings. On many occasions, their understanding is reduced to what they see in movies and series that only talk about the Medellín Cartel and drug trafficking... but there is much more to tell about this metropolis.

Platforms that transmit series and movies, such as Netflix, large international television channels and even the Colombian television channels themselves they take advantage of the public's fascination with crime stories and seek to increase their profits by associating Medellín, eminently, with the figure of drug trafficking, delinquency and crime. That is the story that is being told to millions of people, not only around the world, but even in our own land.

That is why we want our readers, both our own and strangers, to recognize the cultural and natural wealth of our city and the Paisa territory. This city enclosed by mountains is fascinating, even with the problems it has and has had. Countless inspiring stories can be shared from Medellín!

Medellín Up Close – Medellín up close It is a collector's book to know and recognize the true value of the city.
