Medellín's metro is more than transport: it is the city's pride and the key to living here without depending on apps. On this practical outing we buy and top up the Cívica card, read the line map, ride the metro, tram and metrocable, and learn the phrases actually used at ticket counters and in the carriage.
If you just arrived in Medellín, this is the first outing you should do: after two hours you can move around the whole metropolitan area on your own, and along the way you understand the «metro culture» paisas defend so proudly.

Every activity is a living class: this is what we work on while exploring.
