Guidebook for Medellin, Envigado, Sabaneta
The Best Cities and central parks.
The best cities, towns and central parks (downtown) in the south of aburra valley (Valle del aburra).
It’s one of the best cities in Colombia. It’s a little and crowded City, but the people is young (30s and 40s), so it has a great night life. Sabaneta has both worlds, it is a town and an urban city, also is not so expensive and is very safe. The bad thing is that Sabaneta has too much traffic and constructions.
