During the second half of 2025, Pueblito Paisa consolidated itself as one of the most visited tourist spots in Medellín, receiving more than 215,000 people, according to official figures. The highest peaks of influx were recorded during the Flower Fair and the December season, periods in which the attraction exceeded 90,000 visitors.
During the year, the heritage space was the subject of a series of physical and cultural interventions aimed at improving the experience of those who visit it. In total, 170 spaces were adapted and more than 4,800 plants and flowers were installed, as part of a local, tourist and community transformation process that sought to strengthen its traditional identity and its value as a cultural reference.

According to the Parque Arví Corporation, the entity in charge of the administration of the place, the changes implemented and the permanent cultural programming influenced the positive perception of visitors. The satisfaction survey applied during the year gave an average rating of 4.8 out of 5, highlighting aspects such as the paisa environment, tradition and cultural expressions.
“The results show the interest of citizens and national and international tourists in this heritage space, in which contact with the traditions and cultural manifestations of Antioquia is especially valued,” said Óscar Andrés Cardona Cadavid, executive director of the Parque Arví Corporation.

As part of the commemoration of the 350 years of Medellín, Pueblito Paisa was also the scene of photographic exhibitions installed in the parish house, among them “Silleteros: stories, gestures and faces” and “Pueblito Paisa, the heart of Antioqueñidad in Medellín”, which proposed a historical and symbolic look at local identity.
In addition, the place hosted national and international events, such as the celebration of World Tourism Day, which had the participation of more than 250 actors from the sector. Likewise, Pueblito Paisa was used as a location for the recording of the video clip “Tu Perfume”, by the Colombian artist Karol G, a fact that generated additional visibility for the space.

Commercial activity also played a relevant role during the year. The merchants, who receive support and training processes, offered artisanal and gastronomic products, complemented with cultural presentations by troubadours, musicians, caricaturists and human statues, articulated through the cultural table of the place.
With these results, Pueblito Paisa closed 2025 as an active scene in the cultural and tourist life of the city, in which tradition, heritage and cultural offer come together, especially during the busiest seasons.
