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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

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

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