Cerro Nutibara, Hill in central Medellín, Colombia.

Cerro Nutibara is a hill in central Medellín that extends across approximately 33 hectares beside the Aburrá Valley next to the Medellín River. Rising about 80 meters above street level, it features multiple walking paths with viewpoints and planted green areas.

The hill was purchased by Medellín in the late 1920s and transformed into a public recreational park in the following years. This conversion turned it into a gathering space for community activities and leisure.

The sculpture park opened in 1983 at the initiative of President Belisario Betancur, with the Medellín Museum of Modern Art coordinating a permanent exhibition by 10 national and international artists. The first monumental work made for the hill was Madremonte by José Horacio Betancur in 1953; in 1986 it was moved to the Botanical Garden in exchange for his Cacique Nutibara statue.

The site is open daily from early morning until late evening with multiple pathways accommodating different fitness levels. Bring appropriate footwear and water, especially on warm days.

The open-air Carlos Vieco Theater, on the northern slope, opened in 1984, was designed by architect Oscar Mesa and seats 3,800 spectators. It is named after the Medellín-born composer Carlos Vieco Ortiz. Each June it hosts concerts of the International Poetry Festival, along with rock events such as the Altavoz Festival.
