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 good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

Different experience for me. Prices were higher when I went.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
