Moravia is a community within Medellin that literally grew from a municipal landfill. Impoverished residents built makeshift homes out of whatever building materials they were able to scavenge from the mountain of garbage.

Over time, a community formed, and while the government tried to push them out, the people stood strong. During the 80's, Pablo Escobar won the support of the residents by building proper homes and setting up infrastructure. Whether of the kindness of his heart or a ploy for support, the outcome was the same.

Today, with the help of the government and NGO's, the landfill is now a beautiful park with a proper community gaining strength.

This heart is one of many art displays built by the locals, from the very garbage once used to build their community.

Blues Suites Medellin

10/10 Excellent

"Nuestra estadía en el hotel fue realmente encantadora. El lugar es muy bonito, con habitaciones cómodas, limpias y con esa sensación de tranquilidad que uno busca cuando viaja. Pero lo que realmente hizo la diferencia fue el servicio, especialmente en el área de los desayunos. Tuvimos la fortuna de ser atendidos por Dana, y su carisma fue algo que marcó nuestra experiencia. Es de esas personas que te reciben con una sonrisa genuina, que te hace sentir bienvenido desde el primer momento. Atenta, amable, rápida, pendiente de cada detalle… de verdad que elevó nuestra mañana y el servicio a otro nivel. El desayuno estuvo delicioso, fresco, variado y muy bien presentado, pero lo que más se queda con uno es esa energía especial que transmiten las personas que aman lo que hacen. Y Dana es exactamente eso: una joya dentro del equipo. Definitivamente regresaría y recomendaría este hotel, especialmente por la calidad humana y el servicio que recibimos. Agradecidos por la experiencia. 💛✨"

Heiss Hotel By Jalo

10/10 Excellent

"We chose the Hotel for the location to walkable restaurants and Bars, the roof top restaurant and pool. We were a 100% satisfied! The staff is very friendly, the room we chose was tiny but that’s what we booked, because we did not plan to spend much time there. It was cleaned every day very well. We walked out to eat every night and liked the area a lot. For other locations we called an UBER, worked every time. We would absolutely come back! "
