4-day MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA Travel Vlog 🇨🇴 July 2022 | things to do, eat, and see! (with PRICES 💲)

Medellín was one of those cities that made me feel like I should just quit my job and move here to learn Spanish and... figure out the rest of life later.
I fell in love with the mountains, the food, the art, the ease of transportation, the mild weather, and most importantly, the warm people. I won't give away much - just watch the vlog!

I just want to say, I just watched a vlog of a girl who went to Medellin and in my opinion, was very disrespectful and I'm so grateful that your video was the complete opposite. You were so respectful of Colombia and the culture, this was a beautiful vlog! I absolutely love Medellin and I'm so glad you had an amazing time!! 🇨🇴💛

[@sebastiansalazar9044]

Nice video, thanks for showing a different side of Colombia. I´m from Medellín, with a couple of friends, we are doing expeditions to different places in Colombia, mainly to remote areas, accessible by 4x4. For example, one of them, is in Magdalena Medio (Puerto Triunfo) 4 hours from Medellin. The trip usually takes 3 days, we have different experiences: freeing little turtles a the river, have lunch by the river, get to visit 2 waterfalls and do a cool rafting in Río Claro, these are really beautiful places. If you are planning to visit Medellín or Colombia soon, let us know, we would like to show you some of these places. Thanks again, for the video

[@WorldwideWu]

Thank you!!

[@DaCunhaCoartstudio]

Hey there! Just wanted to say Thank you for the 3 great videos you did of Colombia.. We are looking at exploring Colombia next year as a possible place to retire to. Cartagena and Medellin are definitely on our radar. Fabulous insights!

[@WorldwideWu]

Thank you so much!! I think you’ll love it there!

[@gayjohnson9631]

We did the walking tour you put a link to and it was really good. I love videos that give information that you can then do the activity so thanks for including the link.

[@WorldwideWu]

Aw thank you!! So excited for your move!

[@helenequinn]

Wonderful tour. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

[@stonew1927]

Nice video. I'm traveling to Colombia in February and landing in Medellin. I booked the flight because it was super cheap so I didn't really research "the situation" in the country, specifically Medellin. But recently there was an American who was kidnapped, held for ransom, and murdered, and there's been a spate of robberies and other violent crimes against tourists in Medellin. After watching a few KZbin videos from other travel vloggers I started to feel as though maybe I should skip the city altogether, maybe head to the small town of Jardin a couple of hours south as soon as I get there. Your video was refreshing in that you only focused on the positive. But I wonder if you ever felt insecure wandering the streets there and what precautions, if any, you took. Thank you for taking us along your explorations of Medellin. Glad you folks had a lovely time and were safe . . .

[@fabianop4194]

WOW.... subscribed immediately after seeing your video, you did a great job, I love how you enjoyed the coffee tour, and BTW thanks for the information about the coffee tour with Laura...will be a great sorprise for my daughter who loves coffee.

[@brittanybullock73]

Thank you soooo much for sharing this experience and all of your links. We are planning a trip to Medellin for a destination wedding in March, and I have been stressing about where to start. Most channels share very general info about what to see or do but doesn't really show how they got there and their experience. This is going to be very helpful as we plan out our itinerary. Thank you!

[@WorldwideWu]

What a sweet comment! So glad it was helpful for you :) thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing your experience - after living in Medellin for two years you definitely got a good taste of the city. I liked your inclusion of the prices in the video. 😄you definitely got a subscribe from me! excited to see more of your travels.

[@LandofFreedom85]

Coming from Detroit or Chicago, I have not seen a safety issue here to hide my iPhone and use something alternative. The taxis and Ubers here are way safer than the rides we have in US.

Espero que hayas pasado bien en colombia

[@jesusmonsalve8995]

I grew up in staccion Andalucia. The first station after Acevedo❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️

[@republicofhandball8815]

Medellin is the best city in the world, considering its geography and its development. There's no other place on Earth, where 12 months a year, the weather is the same, never cold (to wear more than a t-shirt) and never very hot(31,32 degrees are rare). That's because it lies close to equator and it's placed at elevation of 1500m, it's a perfect mix. The city has 2.5 millions citizens, all facilities, very developed, clean, good infrastructure, many beautiful girls/women.

[@happyllamaplays6297]

Going to Medellin in a little over a month and am excited but nervous! Your videos have been so informative and make me all the more excited. Did you get any specific vaccines for Medellin and Guatape, like yellow fever or typhoid?

[@Mr.ReanuKeeves]

Question, how is uber like in Medellin? I feel like that would be the easiest way around for me. Is it expensive or less?

[@WorldwideWu]

Uber is easy to take in Medellin! Very affordable. Just make sure you prepare for traffic during rush hour

[@emmac3858]

Awesome video! I’m planning on traveling there in the summer (even though I still need a travel buddy). Would you talk about the language barrier? I know enough Spanish to get by, but just wondering about your experience. 😊

[@WorldwideWu]

So excited for you! If you know enough Spanish to get by then you’ll be totally fine. Most restaurants we went to there was someone who knew English if they couldn’t understand my Spanish. In the end there is always Google translate too :) Have so much fun!!

[@ChrisBCartagena]

Nice!

[@yoho5114]

Good video 👍🏼👍🏼 was it to walked around with camera? What camera did you use it? Thinking to travel to Colombia next year. Thanks again.

[@WorldwideWu]

thanks for watching! I used the Sony RV-100, my phone, and my GoPro to film

[@Heartadia]

For the general vacationer who does not travel much - is Colombia safe? I'm not the overly adventurous type who will go to places that will put me in direct risks but I also am not judgmental if - for example, I was walking past a slum area. I am seriously thinking of visiting Colombia but many have told me maybe to give Mexico a try before going further south.

[@WorldwideWu]

Hi Steven! Yes I’d say it’s safe. You have to be cautious of not having flashy things out and being aware of your surroundings at night, but I would not miss seeing Colombia just because of what people say. I was scared before going there but so so glad I went!

[@A_friendwithoutbenefits]

Be aware of your surroundings/belongings, use Ubers/Didi at night avoiding taxis, and never walk through deserted streets, and you’ll be fine. I was there for 4 weeks recently and nothing happened to me with the aforementioned precautions.

[@anthonyp414]

Hi, arriving in medellin soon, i just want to ask in which area of Medellin airport is the pick up area of Uber and how much did you pay to el poblado?

[@reggaeton1007]

When you arrive to Medellin airport that is almost 30 minutos from Medellin, you just go outside, you can find a buses to el poblado between $3-$5, or you can take a taxi $15-$20.

[@bryansu5824]

How was safety? How do you make sure you stay safe and not get robbed or theieved from?

[@mirandamack5756]

How were you able to film if it’s not considered safe to have your devices out?

[@WorldwideWu]

I filmed mainly when I was on tours! It feels safer when you’re with a group of people, especially when the guide is local and he/she is looking out for you. I also filmed when I was in neighborhoods like El Poblado where it is a tiny bit safer, so I’d take out my phone very briefly to get footage in the daytime and then put it away

[@Venezolana558]

Where did you find the walking tour options?? And the coffee tour😍

[@ChrisOnez718]

Quite a few things you said, that weren't wrong, but weren't correct either. Pity you didn't have a native to better explain things to you, but it seems like you enjoyed yourself and left with an overall good impression, which is what's most important.
