The "Full-Send" Itinerary
Five Days in the City of Eternal Spring
Every day is designed to give you the authentic Medellin experience — the culture, the history, the food, the art, and the nightlife — alongside a community of people who make every destination better just by being there. Here is how your five days unfold.
DAY 1 Thursday, December 3 | Welcome to Medellin Your Medellin adventure begins the moment you land. A professional MOOD transfer driver meets you at José María Córdova International Airport (MDE) and whisks you to your 4-star hotel in the heart of the city. Check in, breathe in the 70-degree air of the City of Eternal Spring, and take a moment to let it sink in — you made it. As the evening sets in, join your fellow MOOD travelers for the Happy Hour Meet & Greet and Welcome Dinner. One included drink and dinner. New faces that will quickly become your crew. Receive your welcome gift, your curated itinerary, and everything you need to know to make the most of the next four days. The energy starts here — and it does not stop until Monday. Included: Airport Transfer | Welcome Dinner | 1 Drink | Welcome Gift |
DAY 2 Friday, December 4 | Mountains, Speed & Strikes Start with a full breakfast at the hotel, then strap in — because Day 2 hits different. Your morning takes you into the Medellin mountains on ATV for a one-hour scenic ride through the lush green landscape that makes this city unlike anywhere else in Colombia. The views are stunning. The adrenaline is real. Lunch is included at a local spot before your transfer back to the city. The evening brings a Medellin experience unlike any bowling night you have ever had. SuperBowl Medellin is a full entertainment event: two hours of bowling, shoe rental, one included drink, food, live performances, and a DJ keeping the energy exactly where it needs to be. Round-trip local transfers are included. Dress to impress — this is a vibe, not just a game. Included: Breakfast | ATV Mountain Tour | Lunch | SuperBowl Event | 1 Drink | Local Transfers |
DAY 3 Saturday, December 5 | History, Culture & Christmas Magic Saturday is the cultural heart of the trip — and it delivers on every level. Your morning starts with a guided tour of Comuna 13, the neighborhood that transformed from one of the most dangerous places in the world into one of its most extraordinary outdoor art galleries. The murals. The escalators. The stories behind the graffiti that turned pain into beauty. Your guide brings it all to life. The Metro Cable ride delivers panoramic views of the city that will stop you mid-sentence. Lunch is included at an Afro-Colombian restaurant — authentic, intentional, and delicious. As night falls, the Pacific coast comes to your table. The Afro-Colombian Coastal Dinner & Viche Tasting is a deep dive into the flavors, stories, and traditions of Colombia’s Pacific communities. Viche — the traditional Afro-Colombian medicinal elixir — is more than a drink. It is a history lesson poured into a glass. This dinner changes how you think about Colombian culture. Then the night becomes something you will talk about for years. Board the Open Bar Christmas Chiva — Medellin’s iconic party bus — with locals and fellow travelers, drinks flowing, music at full volume, rolling through the streets toward the legendary Medellin Christmas lights. The Alumbrado Navideno is one of the greatest Christmas light displays on the planet. Experiencing it on a Chiva with your MOOD community is something else entirely. Included: Breakfast | Comuna 13 Tour | Metro Cable | Afro-Colombian Lunch | Coastal Dinner | Viche Tasting | Open Bar Chiva |
DAY 4 Sunday, December 6 | Brunch, Flavors & Farewell Sunday in Medellin was made for rooftop brunches. Start your final full day with a stunning elevated view of the city, one included drink, and a meal that sets the perfect tone for your last afternoon. Take your time. Soak in the skyline. This is the City of Eternal Spring — and on a clear December Sunday, you will understand exactly how it earned that name. The evening closes the trip the way it deserves: with an Afro-Colombian Cooking Class and Farewell Dinner led by Chef Dior — a TV Master Chef contestant who brings the full story of Afro-Colombian cuisine into the kitchen and onto your plate. You are not watching. You are cooking, learning, tasting, and connecting. Dinner is included. The conversation, the laughter, and the memories that come with it are yours to keep. Included: Breakfast | Rooftop Brunch | 1 Drink | Afro-Colombian Cooking Class | Farewell Dinner with Chef Dior |
DAY 5 Monday, December 7 | Adiós, Medellin Enjoy your final morning in the City of Eternal Spring. Breakfast at the hotel. A few last minutes on the balcony or in the lobby with people who were strangers five days ago and are now something closer to family. Your MOOD transfer is ready and waiting to take you to José María Córdova International Airport for your departure home. You leave with full memory cards, a deeper connection to Afro-Colombian culture, and the knowledge that the world is yours — and MOOD will be here every time you’re ready to explore it. Included: Breakfast | Round-Trip Airport Transfer | A lifetime of memories |
