Has anyone been to Medellin 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 a while back and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Avoid Envigado? Or is it fine?

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

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