For a tour guide it is essential to learn how to plan a tour and make an action plan, to
establish a path-to-follow and help your work-team to follow a guide when you are about
to guide a group.

When a foreign visitor pays for a tourism service, the customer needs to be sure that
the time and money will be well invested. Arranging a schedule will give certainty to
the customer and will give you the control of almost everything during the tour.

If you make an action plan, you will evidence what things you will need (equipment),
how many people are you going to need (number of support guides) and when things
should be done.

 Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of
Culture:
The Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace
of Culture, former Palace of
the Antioquia Governor's
Office, is a Colombian public
building located in the center
of Medellín, on Plaza de
Botero and at the intersection
of Calle 52 (Calibío) with
Carrera 51 (Bolívar). It is
located diagonally to the
Parque Berrío Station. It was
designed by the Belgian
Agustín Goovaerts. It is the
headquarters of the Institute of
Culture and Heritage of the
Government of Antioquia.1 It
was declared a National
Monument in 1982. The
building was inaugurated in
the 1930s, when it was
unfinished. Some adjustments
were made to the facades in
the 1970s, but the work was
never completed and only 25
percent of the original design
was built.

 Botero Square:
Monumental bronze figures gracefully adorn the vicinity of the Museo de
Antioquia in one of the most iconic and traditional places in Medellín: Parque
Berrío, home to the only open-air venue in the world that has 23 sculptures by
Maestro Fernando Botero, the which were donated to the city in 2002 and would
become the perfect excuse to inaugurate the Plaza de las Esculturas, or as
everyone knows it in Medellín, La Plaza Botero. There, the bronze sculptures
are a living expression of the sensuality that the master Botero wants to express
with his work through volume.
Visiting the Museum of Antioquia is also an obligatory step in your visit to
Medellín, which, in addition to the more than 100 works by the master Botero,
also houses 17 permanent exhibition halls of pre-Hispanic, republican and
contemporary art.

 Museum of Antioquia:

The Museum of Antioquia (former Municipal Palace) is a museum located in the

center of Medellín that houses collections of international relevance. It was the first
founded in the department of Antioquia and the second in Colombia. It is in front of
Plaza Botero, near the Parque Berrío metro station. In 1995 it was declared a
national monument.
One of the most significant benefits in the renovation process of the Museum of
Antioquia, was to restore the splendor to the old Municipal Palace, transformed
today into the main headquarters of the institution.
In 1931 the Council of Medellín opened a contest that sought to reward the best
design to build the new headquarters of the municipal administration. The
requirements to participate were that the architects and the materials were
Colombian, and that the economic factor be taken into account.
In 1932, the juries Tulio Medina, Rafael Toro, Pedro Nel Gómez, Jesús A. Mejía
and Arturo Long as unanimously chose the design presented by H. M. Rodríguez e
Hijos, for “its correct distribution in the premises, its defined and easy circulation, its
complete and well-studied sanitary installation, the harmonious and sober set of its
facades, in which its character has been clearly defined”. The approved planting
plan required care not to hide the beauty of the building.
Inaugurated on October 12, 1937, the building was the headquarters of the Mayor's
Office and the Medellín Council, until 1988, when it passed into the hands of
Empresas Públicas de Medellín. In 1995 it was declared a National Monument.

 In the year two thousand the building became a museum. The works of
conservation, restoration, and adaptation to the new use, allow to recover the
original beauty of the structure, which, despite the alterations and aggressions of
which it was a victim over time, maintains its quality and architectural value. Among
the spaces recovered for the enjoyment of visitors, the old Medellín Council
compound stands out, today converted into an auditorium, with the imposing mural
La República, by maestro Pedro Nel Gómez on permanent display.

Chruch of Veracruz:

The Church of Veracruz is a religious temple of Catholic worship under the invocation
of the Vera Cruz or Santa Cruz, it is in the center of the city of Medellín, Colombia,
on the western side of the Plazuela de la Veracruz. It is one of the most representative
temples of the city.
In 1682, Captain Juan Céspedes de Hinestroza began construction (on the site of the
current temple of Veracruz) of a chapel or hermitage on land purchased from Mr. Luis
Acevedo Rides; but when the walls had advanced to the height of a few meters the
work was suspended.
In 1712 Captain Céspedes formed a meeting between Europeans and foreigners to
establish the Brotherhood of N. S. de los Milagros and in the first session it was
decided to request authorization to finish the hermitage from the Bishop of Popayán,
to whose jurisdiction the entire province of Antioquia belonged.
The Governor of Antioquia, Francisco Baraya y Campa also granted the permit. At
that time, permissions from both civil and ecclesiastical authorities were necessary to
build temples, chapels, or hermitages for public worship.
Due to the great dedication of the president of the Junta, Captain Céspedes, who
fought for its rapid completion and with the help of some wealthy and wealthy
foreigners residing in Medellín, the hermitage was finished in January 1713.
The temple was renamed the Veracruz de los Forasteros hermitage, which served as
a cemetery for foreigners, in addition to celebrating masses and serving to deposit

 the Holy Sepulcher during Holy Week and for processions of major litanies, in
imitation of the hermitages that the city of Antioquia had.
In 1883, La Veracruz was the second parish in the urban area of Medellín. It is said
that one of its bells was used by the Wise Francisco José de Caldas to make a cannon
for Independence.

In 1968 the plazuela was remodeled and the columns of red blood cells were placed,
in the old fashion and the first bronze basin that Medellín had. The monument to
Atanasio Girardot, the work of Francisco Antonio Cano, was also remodeled. The
parish priest Celedonio Arismendi, in 1976, decorated all the altars with fine gold and
retouched the images in the same metal. Father Gabriel Escobar had already built
the rectory, next to the temple and in front of the square.

It was declared a cultural patrimony of the nation on March 12, 1982. Today its front
can be seen in white, and it was restored by the Antioquia Railway Foundation.

National Palace:

The National Palace is a building located in the center of Medellín. It was designed in
1924 by Agustín Goovaerts and completed in 1933. Originally, it had 88 public offices.
In 1988 it was declared Historical and Artistic Patrimony of the Nation and since 1993
it has been a shopping center.

 The building arose from the need for new facilities for public, political, and educational
facilities. It was designed in the 1920s by the Belgian architect Agustín Goovaerts in
a block located on Carrera 52 (Carabobo), between Calles 48 and 49 (Pichincha and
Ayacucho), on the site of the old Men's Prison. It was inaugurated in 1933.
Like the Gonzalo Mejía Building and the former Antioquia Governor's Office, both
designed by Goovaerts at the same time and in the same sector, the National Palace
was one of the first large concrete structures. Its inauguration was controversial due
to its costs, its style, and its proportions. Originally, it had 88 post, telegraph, and
revenue offices, as well as courts, judicial offices, an army brigade, hospitals, and
audit offices.
It belonged to the Nation until 1974. On that date it was exchanged to the
Departmental Companies of Antioquia (EDA) for a lot located in the Alpujarra, where
the new Administrative Center of the city was built.1 Although in 1988 it was declared
Historical Heritage and Artistic of the Nation, during the 1980s and 1990s it reached
a high level of physical and social deterioration. In 1993 it was rehabilitated and since
then it has housed a shopping center.
Its decoration stands out for the bronze and wrought iron ironwork with high reliefs,
the handicraft work in wood, the tiles, the stained glass and art deco lamps.
