Has anyone been to General Discussion 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 in 2024 and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
