The Pavalkos
Recommendations
General
Always have cash on hand, as you will need it to pay for taxis, buy food at street stands, etc. You can withdraw money from ATMs or exchange it at exchange offices. In Medellín, many people speak English, so you usually can communicate easily, especially in tourist sites, restaurants, and hotels. Always leave with enough time in advance, as traffic can be heavy. We recommend using Uber. It works like in the US and is a safe option. Avoid buying drugs. The sale, purchase, and use are illegal, and police occasionally make inspections and check people on the street for drugs. Be careful with your belongings and avoid displaying valuables in crowded places. Keep them close to you, and use cross-body bags for extra security. This simple precaution can help prevent unnecessary inconveniences. Avoid using your cell phone on the streets or in any car. We recommend not wearing expensive jewelry. Get travel insurance with coverage in Medellín.
Going Out
Take the same precautions you would in any big city and use common sense. Listen to the recommendations from tour guides and the staff at your accommodation. In Medellín, tap water is safe to drink, although it is better to drink bottled water in public places. Street food in markets or boulevards is usually excellent and inexpensive, although some items may be excessively fatty. There is a great variety of fruits on the street. They are cheap and safe to eat, but make sure you wash them first. Try not to get too drunk.
