Pedro Nel Gomez Museum and House featuring a statue or sculpture, art and interior views

Pedro Nel Gómez House Museum

This is the former house of one of the pre-eminent creators of modern art in the 20th century. Now, it is home to more than 1,500 of his works.

Just inside the entrance to Medellin's botanical gardens you can get the regional specialty, bandeja paisa. While this traditional meal can be found all over the region, this spot in the garden's cafe is a great urban oasis where you'll hear more birds than buses.

What is a bandeja paisa? It's sausage, ground meat, chicharon, fried egg, bean soup, plantain, avocado, and rice. I don't think anyone leaves hungry.
