The rich criminal history of the city and the monuments of the events that took place in the years of the drug mafia attract millions of tourists to the city. But in today's Medellin there is a huge variety of amazing places and activities worthy of no less attention. Today medellín is the second largest city in Colombia, becoming the cultural and industrial center of the country. Medellin is often called the "city of flowers" and the "capital of orchids", and deservedly so, because here are grown to 60% of the flowers exported by Colombia throughout the world.
