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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

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