Medellin’s climate is known for its year-round mild temperatures, with an average of 72°F (22°C). However, the city experiences two distinct seasons: a warm and dry season and a wet and humid season. The dry season, which runs through December to February and from June to August, is considered by many the best time to visit Medellin. During this season, the weather is pleasant, the skies are clear, and there’s less chances of rain. This makes it an ideal season and time for outdoor activities such as rafting, paragliding, horseback riding and other activities that Tourpoint can provide within the city limits or the outskirts.

In contrast, the wet season runs from March to May and from September to November. During this time, the city experiences frequent but short rain showers, and the humidity levels rises. However, this period is also the time when the landscape is most beautiful, with lush greenery covering the mountains and hills surrounding the city.

In addition to the weather, there are also several cultural events and festivities that take place in Medellin throughout the year. One of the most famous and traditional events is the Flower Fair, or Feria de las Flores, which takes place in early August. During this week-long festival, the city is filled with colorful parades, concerts, and exhibitions, making it an exciting time to visit and one of the most numerous in terms of international tourist that arrive into the city.

Another popular event is Medellin’s display of Christmas Lights, or locally known as Alumbrados, which runs from the end of November to the beginning of January. During this time, the city is transformed into a magical wonderland with millions of lights illuminating the streets, buildings, and parks. This year for example, Disney’s sensational movie Encanto based upon Colombian Culture was the inspiration to the unique display and array of Christmas lights in the city.

In conclusion, the best time to visit Medellin depends on your preferences and priorities. Whatever time you choose, Medellin is sure to offer an unforgettable experience just as Tourpoint as your local guide to enjoy your stay.
