About Laureles

Laureles is Medellín's local-favorite neighborhood — a residential area with tree-lined streets, independent coffee shops, and a thriving food scene. The heart of the neighborhood is La 70 (Carrera 70), a vibrant avenue packed with bars, restaurants, bakeries, and street life every night of the week.

Unlike El Poblado, Laureles has a more authentic, less touristy feel. It's where many Colombian professionals and digital nomads choose to live. You'll hear more Spanish, find better-priced restaurants, and get a real sense of paisa culture. Estadio metro station connects you to the rest of the city easily.

After landing at MDE, your Unho Travel driver takes you on the Las Palmas highway, through the city center, and drops you directly at your accommodation in Laureles. No transfers, no confusion, no language barrier.
