Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

First of all I can't help but not understand why mine is the first review of the main park Retiro in English, I certainly am not the first gringo to enjoy this wonderful place.
I drove up to Retiro today (August 28, 2020) from Medellin and it is about a 35 minute drive just depending on traffic but once you arrive you will be glad you came.
The city is a true pueblo and retains it tranquil and serene way of life, its colorful colonial style buildings, its friendly people, its clean and well kept streets, and if your here for food there are plenty of restaurants to fill that need.
What a wonderful day it will be just to enjoy a walk around the main park and side streets, have a cup of coffee, enjoy the slow pace and just relax.
I was last here 3 years ago when I was on the hunt to furnish my new apartment in Medellin. The area is well known for furniture manufacturing and I have filled my apartment and the living room, dining room and bedrooms with furniture purchased from this pueblo.
I will return in a few weeks to inspect the progress of the bedroom furniture that I purchased today in Retiro and I will be sure to plan a few extra hours to again visit the Parque Municipal El Retiro.
I recommend everyone to visit Parque Municipal El Retiro and you will be glad you did.

We were looking for a coffee class/farm visit from Medellin. We found this coffee store in Retiro and also visited the town. It was raining here and there but we enjoyed our trip to Retiro. We walked down from the plaza to the church. It was a nice walk.

A place to admire the wood work that can be seen in its doors, windows and balconies, full of stylish cafes to share with your friends or partner, clean streets and great commerce, you can also visit the el tequendamita restaurant, where you can see a large waterfall, you can also visit the Los Salados Ecological Park.

El Retiro used to be nice. It's really gone downhill in the past few years. Be careful because there is a lot of crime there.
