Travel Note

Transportation to move around the city

Options: -UBER or DiDi (same but competitors): You will need the app but you can always select the option to pay with cash, if needed. Cheaper than taxis. -Taxis: meter based, and easy to find. If you don't see one or prefer to schedule one we usually call a family friend (who is a taxi driver): Orlando +57 315-505-8105, but here is taxi company contact: (034) 444-8882 in case you need it. -Metro: https://www.metrodemedellin.gov.co/ -Hire a "driver". There are people here that you can contact everytime you want to go out, but you will need to schedule in advance. There are very reliable but schedule so you don't get stuck waiting. Also, depending where you go or the plan, they might stay with you the whole time. We recommend Gerardo +57-316-207-8067. -Walk! Depending the area, you might be able walk everywhere!!! -Rent a car at the aiport, but note that driving in Medellin is quite hectic, and crazy for some. Also, lots of motocycles/bikes that will probably be too close to your car.

Travel Note

Safety and culture

Paisas or people from Medellin, are very polite and nice! But like everywhere, you might find pick-pockets and people that like to steal. Please be aware of your surroundings and your bag. I'm not trying to scare anyone, just making sure that no one forgets that you are not in your neighborhood and taking pictures distracted someone may take advantage. -Must places and people use WhatsApp, even stores, to communicate. -Make sure to change at the airport your currency to COP pesos, but in case you need more cash, ATMs are very easy to find. - Prices: 90% of the time you can negotiate the price, unless you are in a shopping mall store or restaurant. But with street vendors, do ask for the minimum and feel free to negotiate.

House Or Rental

AIRBNB- Poblado, Medellin

You can easily find airbnb's in the area. For those staying before and/or after the wedding, I suggest you look for one in the Poblado area. Is safer, fun and walking distance to a lot of places and things to do. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. There is an area for everyone!
