2. Plaza Botero, Medellin. Fernando Botero is Colombia’s major gift to the art world, and one of Medellin’s most famous sons. In homage to his work, Medellin houses ‘Plaza Botero': a selection of 23 Botero sculptures in his idiosyncratic style.his isn’t to say Colombia doesn’t have essential places or sights to visit because it does, and in abundance. There’s so much to see here that the mind boggles when trying to come up with shorter itineraries, but therein lies the problem. If you can only go to one place, it’s difficult to decide where that place is.
