1. outline

2. Detail

File:Medellin 1

It is famous for Pablo Escobar 's drug cartel , Medein Cartel , and is also known as the hometown of artist Fernando Botera . There is a Medezin Botero Sculpture Park. He has tried a lot of attempts to transform the existing image that was stained with drugs and transform himself into an innovative city.

It is also called a city of flowers and beauty. It is well known as a city with many models. It is also famous for its molding industry, and it is said to be in the spotlight as a plastic tourism due to the cost of only one -third of the United States.

3. security issues

Security is so bad that the United States, which does not interfere with the freedom of travel of its citizens, has issued a travel warning. Robbery, kidnapping, and incidents targeting foreigners occur every day. # In particular, eight Americans were murdered in two months, and it is very common for them to be killed rather than released even after paying ransom. In particular, Medellin itself was the home of the Medellin Cartel , the birthplace of South American cartels , and its remnants control everything from the market to the police.

People who returned without any accidents are filming YouTube videos, and there is a lot of content saying that it is not dangerous because this is a populated area, but there are also quite a few incidents of tourists being murdered, so you must always be careful and not let down your guard.

4. public transport

Public transportation may be poor compared to the size of the population, but it is still the best in Colombia . The subway, which is not yet installed in Bogota , runs in Medellin. Lines A and B were opened in the 1990s, and in addition, there are three BRT lines and one tram line. In Medellin, the construction project for cable cars and subway networks for public transportation had already begun in the late 1970s, and in the 1980s and 1990s, the situation in Colombia was not so good, so construction was carried out as a teaspoon for a considerable period of time. However, it has been over 20 years since it opened and has been expanded several times. In Bogotá , as construction is being carried out as a teaspoon, there is no guarantee when it will open. As a result, Bogota city authorities and the central government are receiving complaints from Bogota citizens.

Uniquely, cable cars are treated as part of the subway system and are called metrocables. In the steep terrain of Medellin, it is a more important means of transportation than the subway.

Regarding aviation infrastructure, Olaya Herrera Airport in downtown Medellin is used as a domestic airport, and Jose Maria Cordoba International Airport in the Rio Negro region east of Medellin handles international flights.

5. digression

Medellín has a developed club culture and is also a trendy city representing Colombian reggaeton and hip-hop music. Colombian singers J Balvin , Maluma , Carol G , and Camilo are from Medellín. It goes without saying that Medellín's musical base is so strong that even Nicky Jam, another famous American-born Latin singer, started his early career in Medellín despite being an American from Texas. In fact , Medellín is the leading place in modern Latin music, along with Puerto Rico and Miami in the United States and Mexico City in Mexico .

It is the hometown and death place of drug lord Pablo Escobar and soccer player Andrés Escobar . Pablo was killed during a suppression operation by U.S. DEA agents and Colombian special forces, and Andres was shot by a polarizing soccer fan who was angry about an own goal in the 1994 U.S. World Cup .[4]
