Been thinking about visiting General Information and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Colombia?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.
