Has anyone been to Cali 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 a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

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

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
