Has anyone been to General Information recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers
Best time of year to visit Colombia?

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

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

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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