Medellin gives you a unique outdoor experience with its lush greenery, countless excellent #restaurants and #coffeshops to enjoy. #Miami, on the other hand, has a lifestyle which is one of its most attractive features; from opulent lounges to tropical bars. Now, if we compare each other, which one takes the cake? Here are some comparable features so you can decide for yourself.
Weather:
The City of “Eternal Spring” has a name that speaks for itself. With a humidity rate 16% smaller than Miami’s (68% vs 84%) and an average temperature lower by 4.2°C (17.9°C vs 22.1°C), Medellin might be seen as the one coming out with the victory here. However, as Medellin is based in a valley, with mountains all around, the burning gasoline and diesel fuel from vehicle fleets creates harmful byproducts like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, among others, that remain trapped in our atmosphere. Fortunately though, up in the hills in #ElPoblado, #Envigado, and #Sabaneta, the pollutant levels tend to be lower than those to be found in the city centre.
