Visited Colombia for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is active. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $102/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $104/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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