Sightseeing
Botero is a figurative artist and sculptor from Medellín, Colombia. He’s known for his unique style, also called by some as Boterismo. He’s considered one of the most recognized living artists in Latin American, therefor he is the most acclaimed Colombian artist. In 2000 he donated and art collection to the Banco de la República (Bank of the Republic), which became the Botero Museum. This collection is composed by 208 art pieces, 123 are of his own work and the remaining 85 are international artists from his private collection, including 14 Impressionist paintings (including oils by Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Pissarro), four Picassos, and works by Dali, Miro, Chagall, Ernst, de Kooning, Klimt, Rauschenberg, Giacometti, and Calder.

Parks & Nature
This park is the closest one from the appartment. I do not advise to go at night however. There are public tenis courses. You have to book a class with a tennis teacher to have a course.
