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!

[@juaninamillion6174]

The metro deserves an award.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

I agree!

[@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!

Medellin is one of the world capitals for digital nomads, there are thousands of things to do and discover in the city, Medellin is an oasis of entertainment and knowledge in the middle of Latin America.

[@luisfercast2005]

➡️🇨🇴🙌🏻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

Been to Medellin several times. Well worth visiting, a great city for digital nomads. It's one of the cheapest cities I've been too. I'm blown away by how affordable prices are, even for Latin America.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Yes very affordable city.

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 the country, it has already surpassed Cartagena in international tourists and is, according to Dane, the city with the lowest unemployment in the country in 2023.

[@TheCountryCollectors]

Wonderful

[@JeanPierreMajeau]

I use the Google translator to write to you because I speak FRENCH only for the moment at least. I understand a bit of English. This is the best report on MEDELLIN that I have seen to date. I already went in 2001 and I see that it has changed a lot for the better from what I see. I am even thinking of my expatriate. Thank you again for your much appreciated report.

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.

As someone from Bogotá, here's the vibe I'm getting from this video: On the first part of the journey I was looking at all the life There were plants and birds and rocks and things There was sand and hills and rings The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz And the sky with no clouds The heat was hot and the ground was dry But the air was full of sound I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la la la la la...

[@larry1754]

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! If you are interested (and if allowed here), here is a link to my Yt video of Santo Domingo, please check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oafSkqyip7KVZ8U
