Visited Colombia for 5 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $57/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.
Quality in Colombia — trending up or down?

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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $117/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.
