I’m trying to decide between a trip to Colombia or Argentina for next year. Where would y’all like to travel if you could?

    I have been to both, and I did like Colombia more. Where in Colombia did you go? I’ve been to Bogota of course, Medellin and Santa Marta.

      Only medellin. I almost want to bogota next because of its fairly wild elevation and then reading wikivoyage found out the elevation of cusco and went there instead, loved cusco so much

        Awesome! I was only in Bogota briefly but the food was good and people were friendly. Cuzco is a cute city, but takes some getting used to with the altitude like you said

          I lucked out with the altitude and didn’t end up sick in Cusco, but i did run a lot in medellin beforehand to try to prepare, so maybe that paid off.

          Are you any closer to making your travel choice?

              Very nice. Venezuelans, Colombians, Guatemalans, Panamanians all told me to go to Medellin and I had a great time. Everyone was nice, great public parks, very decent monthly rentals on Airbnb and really cool public transit where you can take cable cars up the mountains around the cities. Good hikes with exercise parks at the top.

              Medellin is now my alternate start-traveling location I recommend for affordability, health care, culture, food, and general easygoing-ness. It has most things Thailand has plus a way more comfortable climate.
