Has anyone been to Photo Gallery recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
