This is where we have a Room Block for guests - you'll use the Discount Code "Maggie&Pablo" when you are booking your rooms. This is a great location in Manila to stay with a rooftop pool & restaurant. There's also tons of cute restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops in the area :) Only 15-ish min drive to the wedding. IMPORTANT: when you book here, please email celina@landmarkmedellin.com to confirm booking.

Rental Car
Ubers are totally safe and widely available in Medellin. As a disclaimer, It's not wholly accepted by the taxi industry, drivers will likely ask a passenger to sit in the front seat. At the airport, you would need to exit to the passenger parking lot to find your Uber. Rides will vary around $100,000 COP (~22 USD)
Flight
Spirit Airlines has an easy and affordable route to Medellin with a stop in Fort Lauderdale or Orlando from Chicago (ORD) or Pittsburgh. It's best to book flights on their site after June 2024.
Flight
American Airlines has great routes from Chicago & Pittsburgh to Medellin with a stop in Miami. This is my typical route and airline :) Great if you have points or book about 3-5 months in advance.
Flight
Copa Airlines has an awesome route from Chicago -> Panama City -> Medellin. It sounds like it would be a pain to stop in a different country but you actually don't have to go through immigration in Panama, you'll just transfer as if you were flying domestically. I just flew this for my last trip and it is becoming my favorite route!
