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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

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

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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