Medellin Flower Festival 2009

We decided to go to the festival with my wife's parents in 2 weeks. Becasue we are traveling late we are assuming that all of the hotels in Medellin are booked. Are there any nice small towns near Medelin we can get a couple of rooms?

North of Medellin through the tunnel is Santa Fe de Antioquia ,a lovely colonial town about 1 hour from Medellin with lots of accomodation of different quality.
In Oriente,about 40 minutes from Medellin are many decent hotels around Rio Negro airport,some are quite charming and reasonble priced.

Brians you may be right, but the room rates will be doubled if not more and the rooks that are available will be crap. I like the Oriente thingbecasue it will give us some place else to see. My in-laws have never been to Medellin and have always planned on going for the past 55 years , but something always came up. Now the duitful son in law checks in.

...and so it goes

Try www.Alcaravan.com
I stayed there with my 89 year old mother. Very clean, very good food and service. Clean rooms with cable TV and fans. Elevator. 6th floor is a great place to enjoy a drink and see the city. I paid $24.00 per night. Your belongings will be safe and secure. 24/7 security.

Just taking life easy. I worked hard for it and deserve it and now doing it.
