Medellín is known in Colombia as the city of eternal spring. Indeed, the humidity is not high, and the breeze cools the air.
The city is located in north-central Colombia, in the Antioquia department, at 6 degrees north latitude, in a valley in the Andean area at 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) above sea level. However, there are some neighborhoods that are cooler because they are located on the mountain slopes and reach up to 2,000 meters (6,500 feet) in height.
The best time to visit Medellin runs from December to February, since it is the one in which the rains are least frequent.
