Believe it or not, some trips to Medellin aren’t discussed. Many are still wary of visiting and mislead people into fear of traveling out here. The city’s past is a huge part of this but what people fail to realize is, Medellin has changed.
The city once known for being the birthplace of Pablo Escobar has transformed into one of South America’s most exciting destinations.
Despite this, there are many questions that arise before you visit. Here are 7 frequently asked Medellin questions and doubts that are often Googled.
#1 Is Colombia Cheap?
Colombia’s economy depends on the export of oil. Given that the price of oil is low, Colombia’s currency (COP) is as undervalued as it’s been in years. This is terrible for the country but great news for people looking to visit.
One American dollar was $2500 COP back in 2016. Today one dollar is worth a whopping $4000 COP! Making your Medellin bachelor party more affordable than ever.
