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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Colombia vs last year — has it changed?

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at online?

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

My tip: go early evening.

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
