Visited Medellin for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $52/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 7.5/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $71/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

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

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
