Visited Colombia for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing fair.
Spent $88/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.
