Medellin trip report — 5 days

Arrived and got settled quickly. Train from the airport was simple. Hotel was exactly what I needed.

Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Got some good intel from a local.

Days 3-3: Had some incredible sessions. Found my rhythm. The main strip area was the sweet spot.

Prices: $80-120 for quality. Prices are pretty fixed.

Tips: Book hotels close to the scene.

Return? Yes, maybe try a different area.

First time there was overwhelming but exciting. Second time I knew the ropes and it was so much more efficient. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.

Good info. I'd add that late night is the best time to go.

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

Did you feel safe using taxis?

Not sure I agree about that area. Found a different neighborhood better value.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?
