THE BEST REVIEW

An Adventurous Place: If you are in Medellin, then Rio Claro is a must visit place for you. If you like to be physical and love adventures as well, then this is the best place for you. However, the accommodations and food quality around this place are not up to the mark. Perfect place for couples and short time visits.

Splendid Views: Walk to this place is a bit tough but it really worth it. After a long demanding walk, the reward is the beautiful views and natural scenes. No one can climb this place so do not visit this place until you are in good physical condition. At the top, you will enjoy the spectacular views of the surroundings.

A Nice Hostel: The hostel is perfect for official work but not for staying with family. The rooms are very clean and simple. The staff of this hotel is very cooperative and well-mannered.
