Parque Arví is a large nature reserve outside of Medellin. It is easiest to get there via Metro/Metro Cable. The ride on the Metro Cable itself is a worthwhile experience. Typically as with most nature reserves, a person can hike. There are mountain bike trails. There is a restaurant that sits atop with a view of Medellin. There are also exhibitions of indigineous peoples.
Within Parque Arví is an area called Aventura Confama. I have not seen all that is at Confama, because I have only done two things there: the tree obstacle courses and the zip line. I really enjoy Confama and highly recommend it; especially if you like outdoor sports. My body is sore right now from yesterday's outing.
If you are visiting Parque Arví and Comfama, I recommend you get a reasonably early start. Yesterday, all places were filled for the day for access to the tree obstacles at Confama by 1:00 PM as they limit the number of people starting courses. This was on a Sunday. They told me that there are fewer people during the week if that is on option for you. We left at 8:30 AM and ended up getting back around 5:30, so you can easily spend an entire day there.
Me getting a band-aid:
The long zip line (not sure but I think like 300 meters):
