A Special Thanks to Juan Camilo Villegas
We couldn’t have experienced this real estate tour without the help of Juan Camilo Villegas, who graciously showed us these properties.
Finding homeowners willing to let us film their homes for YouTube isn’t easy, and Juan’s expertise and organization made our tour a success.
Please note that we took this tour in January 2023, so these specific properties might not be available anymore, or the prices may have changed (especially with the currency fluctuations). However, Juan can definitely help you find other amazing homes in Medellín.
You can connect with him through his Facebook Page, and be sure to tell him you saw our post!
