Returned from 13 days in Colombia. Great trip overall.
Accommodation:
Guesthouse near the main area. $38/night. Good location, basic amenities.
Scene:
Better than expected — plenty of options. Prices were slightly higher than expected.
Quality:
Better selection than last time. Had 10 encounters total.
Logistics:
Rented a motorbike for flexibility. Eating out was very affordable.
Safety:
Used common sense and had no problems.
Overall: 8/10. Good destination, recommend for first-timers.
Happy to answer any questions.

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

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?
