      Medellín — the perfect introduction to South America.

      It's far from the biggest city on the continent — or even in Colombia — but it definitely wins the 'Most Improved' award. Decades have passed since Pablo Escobar's reign of cocaine ended violently in December 1993, and folks here have a complicated memory of him. Since then, however, the 'City of Eternal Spring' has transformed itself into a modern and metropolitan city safer than some major US cities (you can even drink the tap water).
