Visited Medellin for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.

Spent $128/day. Best part: ease of arranging.

Overall: 7.5/10. Solid destination.

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

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

Did you use the local sites or find girls at clubs?

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.

The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

How does it compare to Germany?

I was there in February and prices were great value.

Spent about $53/day all-in. Quality was good.

My tip: avoid weekends.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.
