Alumbrados Bello 2020 – Bello, located north of Medellín turned on its Christmas lights in early December and we have photos from Parque Bello.
Bello turned on its 2020 Christmas lights on December 4, 2020. I heard from a Colombian friend that the Christmas lights in Bello were very nice this year and I can confirm this.
The Christmas lights in Parque Bello are much nicer this year compare to last year, as last year Parque Bello was undergoing construction.
Not many foreigners visit Bello for it’s Christmas lights. But this year Bello has a very nice Christmas lights display in its main park.
We also have 2020 photos of the Christmas lights in Medellín, Christmas lights in Envigado and Christmas lights in Sabaneta.
Editors note: according to Telemedellin, Bello will not turn off its Christmas lights, unlike Medellín, which turned off its Christmas lights until January 3 to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
However, you won’t be able to see the Christmas lights in Bello on December 24, December 25, December 31 and January 1, which will be turned off due to curfews on these four days.
Also, Envigado has not turned off the Envigado Christmas lights in its main park. In addition, we have photos of the Christmas lights in the Aburra Valley in all nine municipalities with lights.

Nuestra Señora del Rosario is arguably the most beautiful church in the Medellín metropolitan area. This church is very impressive with the most beautiful interior out over 75 churches I have seen in the Medellín metro area.
In addition, there are many restaurants, small shops and bars found around the park and on the streets near the park.
How to Get to Parque Bello
One way to get to Parque Bello is to take the Medellín metro line A north to the Bello metro station. Parque Bello is about a 10-minute walk from the metro station.
During the day, it is relatively safe to walk from the metro station to Parque Bello. This is due to many people being on the streets.
At night we recommend taking a taxi or bus from the metro station to Parque Bello. There are buses that run from the Bello metro station to Parque Bello for an inexpensive fare and taxis as well for a minimum taxi fare of 5,600 pesos.
Note that the streets are closed off about two blocks from Parque Bello. So a taxi can only drop you near the park.
Also, just about any taxi driver in Medellín will know where Parque Bello is located. And it’s easy to catch a taxi or bus near Parque Bello for your return.
