Visited Colombia for 5 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $101/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.
AMA.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.
