Has anyone been to Medellin recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out

I was there 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.

Planning to go back next month.

Cheers

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

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

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

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Did you use local sites or find girls at the hotel?
