10 Things YOU MUST do in Medellin, Colombia (Watch Before You Go!)

[@hoos3014]

I'm taking my fam in December. I'm counting the days already.

[@Itsbigdaddyquinn]

Hello! Great information. I have visited Medellín many times since 2021. I got a girlfriend there in 2022 and just proposed to her in August. I'm learning Spanish and she speaks no English, but is learning in class. I plan on retiring in Medellín soon. Some of my humble advice to visitors: For Guatape, I highly advise folks to get a tour bus trip. It cost me $100 per person and they stop in a small town to eat a light breakfast, another town to sight see, then Guatape for lunch and to climb the mountain steps if you want to. For the price, it was worth it. The tour busses usually meet up at Parque El Poblado for about 7am. They pick you up and bring you back there. For Comuna 13, folks can just walk and don't have to pay a tour guide. You can KZbin a Comuna 13 video and watch it before going. I absolutely LOVE Medellín. I'll be back in October 19-23 and 10-15 November. Retirement can't come fast enough....

WELCOME TO MEDELLIN 🎉On March 17, TIME magazine included Medellin among the 50 best destinations in the world in 2023. And in January THE NEW YORK TIMES also included Medellin among the 50 best destinations in the world in 2023. ❤ Medellin is the #1 city in quality of life in Colombia, it has already surpassed Cartagena in international tourists, also Medellin is an intelligent tourist destination and is a special district of science, technology and innovation.

[@Itsbigdaddyquinn]

I agree! It absolutely has boomed in the last years. Such a fun and beautiful city ❤

[@user-uj7js5sm6t]

Colombia is one of the few countries in the world where its actually safer to be a female tourists than a male one lol.

[@Itsbigdaddyquinn]

Hahaha yes!! So I have heard 😂

[@rezaahari2207]

Male can be drugged ,robbed or killed but seems she does not get even rapped

[@tomasnunez8518]

Nice vid. Curious of where was the big daddy?

[@luisfercast2005]

❤❤🇨🇴🇨🇴Medellín is the most beautiful city in Colombia and is one of the cities with the best quality of life to live because of its nature, its mountains, its delicious food, also because of its viewpoints that are in the mountains in Las Palmas, the Mirador del Picacho, also because of its parks. For example, Arvi park is one of the best parks, there is a lot of nature with animals, not monkeys.❤❤Greetings from Medellín Colombia I recommend that you come visit Medellín come to Provence Comentarios

[@rubencorzo6185]

I been going for 10 years there is so much to do there and places to go. Probably the best place for the what it cost. to bad it continues to get so popular it keeps getting more expensive but still very affordable.

[@Itsbigdaddyquinn]

Yes, it’s definitely blown up in tourism! People are starting to discover it lol . Areas like el poblado are definitely more expensive

[@erwinmarin9700]

La comida es deliciosa. La gente es muy amable.. pero como en todo lugar hay gente dedicada a hacer el mal.. hay que tener cuidado de no andar solo .. pero para todo el que quiera venir a colombia les aseguro no se arrepentiran

[@Itsbigdaddyquinn]

Si tienes mucha razón, Colombia me encanto!

I just got my ticket this afternoon. No idea what I am doing. No idea what hotel to go to. Will be there Nov 1st-21st. 😂 help 🙏🏾 I know if I dident just do it, I would keep getting excuses.

[@Itsbigdaddyquinn]

Hi there! I didn’t stay in a hotel while I was there, I stayed in an Airbnb. Nice to have a full kitchen and apartment set up. Also made me feel more part of the locals! 😊 I’m glad you booked! I always tell people, if you don’t do it now, then when ?

[@lucianjj]

@@Itsbigdaddyquinn I just started looking at the AirBnb and goodness you are 100% correct! I definitely do not have the money for hotels and I rather live like a local and $25 a day 😊. I am planning to move from USA so trying out Colombia, Vietnam and Africa to see which one I can afford living each month only $1400 social security.

[@Itsbigdaddyquinn]

@@lucianjj I stayed in Laureles , which is much more affordable than where most tourists stay! Also felt pretty safe there. That sounds super amazing . Maybe even look into the Philippines as well, as many people speak English and it is super affordable living

[@lucianjj]

@@Itsbigdaddyquinn I had that on my list to but I was listening to others and get in my head with all the negative “passport bros” comments so I stopped researching it. I wanted to go to. I will research again. 😊

[@romansotelo7240]

Do you have to use Check Mig to enter still?

[@Itsbigdaddyquinn]

Yes I believe so

[@shane5385]

3 things to do 1. Get scammed 2. Get robbed 3. Get assaulted 😅

[@Aqd20]

May I ask why you call yourself big daddy?

[@theempire00]

Will I get kidnapped? Going in January 🥺🥺

[@Itsbigdaddyquinn]

No! I felt very safe. I loved the city and met many solo female travelers. Just basic safety rules: don’t flash expensive things or jewelry, and do not walk at night (especially alone)! Travel safety video coming soon 😊
