You can book your flight into Jose Maria Cordova International Airport (MDE). While MDE is technically located in Rionegro, near Llanogrande (where the venue is), it is a 25 minute drive from the city of Medellín. We recommend working with your hotel to arrange transportation to and from the airport – Ubers are notoriously scarce and unreliable at the airport. you can also contact Martin via whatsapp and hire his transportation service in advance +573006352729
"Do not give papaya." In Colombia "dar papaya", or "give papaya", means putting yourself in a position where people can easily take advantage of you. Like any Latin American city, you should have your wits about you when in Medellin. Avoid walking around any areas that you aren’t familiar or starting small talk with strangers in bars or streets– especially at night and if you don’t speak Spanish. Do not hail taxis off the streets. We recommend Ubers or asking hotels and restaurants to call taxis for you. Additionally, avoid "walking" everywhere! Medellin is a very hilly city that is often not pedestrian friendly. Make sure you're taking the correct routes before you adventure upon on a long walk!
