Has anyone been to Colombia recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.
