Visited Colombia for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $139/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $92/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Been going for years. The scene has improved recently.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
