This free guide was created by Elky Ramirez as a way to give back to the Medellin community — it’s updated regularly and thrives on feedback from travelers, foreigners, and locals like you. Any useful updates or recommendations you share will be added to the guide and credited to you. Got updates, ideas, or a local project you’d like to collaborate on?

I’d love to hear from you! When you share helpful info, please let us know your preferred credit style: full name, first name only, social handle, business, anonymous, etc.

⚠️ Disclaimer - I do my best to keep this guide accurate and up to date, but things in Medellin (hours, prices, policies, availability, etc.) can change quickly. Some information may become outdated or occasionally be incorrect.

Please always double-check details directly with the business or service before making plans.

If you notice something that’s no longer accurate, I’d love if you let me know — that way I can update it for everyone else too. 🙏
