De l'ancien cartel de drogue aux palmiers géants en famille : deux jours qui résument la Colombie

April 11, 2026·9 min

The episode begins with the family arriving in Colombia from Mexico, landing in Medellín during heavy rain and heading to Guatapé, a colorful village. Their first impression shifts from disappointment to excitement as they find the vibrant culture they sought. They spend two days in Guatapé before returning to Medellín, where they visit Comuna 13, a former drug cartel neighborhood now revitalized through art and music, guided by Jairo who lived there as a child. Next, they travel to Jardin, a convivial village with horses performing the unique Paso Fino gait and a memorable cable car ride across a valley. They then move to Salento for four nights, exploring the Carbonera Valley to see wax palm trees, the world's tallest palm species, which are endangered. Their guide Daniel explains the region's geography, including a chaotic road that serves as an escape route during volcanic eruptions. The family also visits a coffee finca to learn about Colombian coffee production. The episode concludes with a mention of Filandia, a town that inspired the Disney movie Encanto, known for its commercial appeal and beautiful views. Throughout, the guest emphasizes Colombia's hilly, green landscapes and the welcoming nature of its people.
