Been thinking about visiting Photo Gallery and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Colombia?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

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

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