Hi, I’m Cheyanne, and I’m here to help you explore the magic of Medellín, Colombia! With years of firsthand experience discovering Medellín’s best-kept secrets and local favorites, I’ve become the person friends, followers, and now clients turn to for real, trustworthy guidance. My goal is to make planning effortless by giving you reliable, insider guidance that helps you have the best trip possible to Colombia.
My Story With Medellín
I married my paisa husband over 13 years ago, and through him and his family, I was introduced to Medellín in the most real, local way, far beyond surface-level tourism.
For the last several years, I’ve split my time between Austin, Texas and Medellín. Living in both places has given me a unique half-local, half-traveler perspective that lets me explore the city more deeply than anything you’ll find online.
How This Business Started
I’ve always been the designated trip planner for family and friends, and creating fun, seamless itineraries is something I genuinely enjoy.
When I started sharing my life in Medellín on social media, my inbox quickly filled with people asking for recommendations, planning help, and guidance on what to do (and what to avoid). After answering hundreds of requests and realizing how many travelers were wanting trustworthy, local-based advice, I decided to turn that passion into a service.
That’s how Medellin Travel Agent was born.
Why I’m Different
✔️ Real Local
Insights
I explore the city with my husband, our Colombian friends, and family. I know the neighborhoods locals love, which places are worth the hype, and where to avoid.
✔️ Up-to-Date Recommendations
Medellín evolves constantly. I stay current on new openings, closures, trends, and what’s actually worth your time — from speakeasies and rooftops to restaurants and wellness spots. And because I regularly travel between the U.S. and Colombia, I always know the most current entry requirements and travel guidelines Americans need before arriving.
✔️ Strong + Reliable
Connections
Over the years, I’ve built trusted relationships with restaurants, tours, transportation, and beauty professionals. Because of these connections, I can often offer clients better pricing, preferred rates, and exclusive touches.
