Visited Medellin for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is as described. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $110/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.

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

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

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

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

This is outdated info IMO.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