MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA WILL SURPRISE YOU!

[@upabove7536]

That neighborhood with the rappers and dancers was so colorful. It's amazing that they turn it around like they did using art. We could use more of that in the world!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

I agree!

[@tammyslater5908]

That’s amazing that they have transformed this area into such a beautiful and safe place. The performers were amazing

[@upabove7536]

it looked so cool!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

I know! How special is that!

[@AscendedWarriors]

it is not safe anymore. the criminal gangs are targeting foreigners because they know we have more money. They are using Tinder and tourist areas to target us.

[@tammyslater5908]

Thank you so much for taking us along on this amazing journey… you certainly opened up my eyes to this area, I always heard how dangerous it is there … and it clearly has changed so much. It’s beautiful, full of culture and a mix of the past and modern .. the art is breathtaking… good job guys.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Thanks for being here!

[@hooooliee90]

Thanks guys! I was there in 2016 and some of those projects were just getting started, so it's very nice to see how well they've progressed. Medellín has done an incredible job revitalizing their city! After my visit, I took combis and buses down through Colombia stopping in Jardín, Manizales, and Popoyan-- highly recommend, if you keep on going. Looking forward to where you go next!

[@TheCountryCollectors]

That’s incredible! We were in Popoyan 9 years ago! Beautiful spot!! We heard Jardín was so nice too!

[@franks2983]

What a view from the metro car! That park was so cool and right above the city. Im glad that you guys got to do a hike but the whole day seemed like an adventure! This city is going on my travel list! You guys rock! See you next Sunday Country Collectors!

Hey guys I just saw your video about your separation. I hate to hear about it. You guys were such inspirations and I enjoyed watching your adventures while I was going through cancer treatments. As you know I told my family that we would retrace your adventures when I git well again. And we relived your journey in progresso a d merida which we would have never done if not for you guys. I hope I really hope there will be a country collectors again in the future you two are awesome together.

➡️🇨🇴🙌🏻Greetings from Medellín Colombia to the whole world who read my comment🇨🇴🇨🇴. The city of Medellín is the most beautiful city that Colombia has because of its mountainous nature, its food, its friendly people, its atmosphere. The most touristy areas are the restaurants that are viewpoints and Provenza, you have to go to the viewpoints to enjoy the nature and the food. which is very rich.🇨🇴🇨🇴I would like them to continue making videos in the city of Medellín to show how beautiful Colombia is. Make spectacular videos so that more people see the videos.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Thank you

[@franks2983]

Communa 13 looks like such a cool neighborhood. I love all the colors and action going on. Those rappers were so cool! And I was really impressed with the public transportation! Definatly not what I was exception in the best way!

I'm moving there next month. I'm not old enough to get a retirement visa (ya gotta b 65) but you can stay 90 days and get a 90-day extension per calendar year. I'm going to scoot around to Costa Rica and other nearby destinations to flesh out my yearly quotas. I must say, I'm most excited about this place (El Poblado and Laureles, primarily) and maybe when I get old enough, l can do something more permanent and fulfilling. Thanks for the fun and informative video and may your adventures keep you sdafe and continue to nourish your soul.

I just found this video today, and will have to subscribe to your channel! My gf and I spent a week in Medellin a couple years ago, she actually lives 8-9 months of the year in Ecuador, so is familiar with that area. But I want to say two things here! One, I love your presentation, very upbeat, draws the viewer right into it. And two, when we wee there, we also took the cable car to Parque Arvi, were amazed to look down and see all those houses, families living on that hillside! But I so remember those transfer stations you show here, the metro ride to Acevedo stop to get there, brings back such memories to me! But what I mostly wanted to say is that on our way back down from Parque Arvi, instead of just jumping on the next cable car to go the ret of the way, we spent maybe a couple hours walking around Santo Domingo! Facinating little town/suburb, whatever it is, lol!

They were made in collaboration with DISNEY, that's how relevant they are.
