Has anyone been to Colombia 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 6 months ago and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.
