Colorful Medellín — Your Warm Winter Escape in Laureles

Nadine Braehmer • January 5, 2026

While much of the world is wrapped in coats and clouds, Medellín stays bright, warm, and full of life.
They don’t call it the City of Eternal Spring for nothing.


In Laureles, the sun hits the colorful houses just right, the fruit stands glow with tropical reds and yellows, and the smell of fresh buñuelos fills the streets.
It’s the perfect escape for winter travelers looking for sunshine, flavor, and the warmth of Colombian hospitality.


And there’s no better way to feel it all than walking, tasting, and laughing your way through Laureles with Ray, your local paisa host.

🌈 Medellín in Color — One Bite at a Time

Laureles bursts with color —
in the plates, on the walls, in the music, and in the people.


Your food tour highlights the most vibrant flavors of Medellín:

Buñuelos — golden, warm, and crispy.

Tamal Antioqueño — wrapped in deep green banana leaves.

Empanadas — bright yellow corn crusts with bold fillings.

Papas de Balvín — a splash of sauces in every shade.

Arepa de Queso con Lechera — glossy, sweet, and irresistible.

Limonada de Coco — white, silky, and ice-cold under the sun.


🌱 Vegetarian options available.


Every stop gives you a taste of Colombia’s color palette — comforting, vibrant, and unforgettable.

It’s the opposite of winter — and exactly what travelers crave this time of year.
