The Las Palmas road climbs east from El Poblado past viewpoints, hotels with valley views and country houses. Many visitors staying here are shuttling to and from the airport, so we plan the mould for their first or second day.
The Las Palmas road lives on people passing through: executives in hotels with valley views, travellers arriving at or leaving from José María Córdova airport, and country-house residents who only come down to El Poblado every couple of weeks. Almost every appointment here is planned around a flight or a short stay, so we book the mould as soon as arrival dates are confirmed, not at the last minute.
Since there is no Metro on the road, getting around depends on a taxi, a ride-hailing app or your own car, and the exact kilometre marker matters — two hotels that look close on a map can be fifteen minutes apart because of the curves. That is why we always ask for the hotel name or nearest landmark before confirming a time.
Guests staying on Las Palmas tend to favour gold or iced pieces, understanding that their trip continues to another city after Medellín; for them we recommend taking the mould on the first or second day of the stay so the build time does not clash with the departure date.

Getting to the studio
There is no Metro on Las Palmas — use a car, taxi or ride-hailing app. It is a short but steep drive up from Parque Lleras.
Visits to your home, hotel or Airbnb
