Visited Medellin for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing fair.
Spent $58/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Would return.

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

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