Has anyone been to Photo Gallery recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers
Long stay in Photo Gallery — costs

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
