Colombia: Airports: We mainly stayed in Medellin (flew to MDE airport). You may want to change money at the airport. Yes, the exchange rate is higher, but it's a tiny amount due to inflation. You can get an Uber at the parking lot entrance on the second floor. W e did spend one day in Salento and flew to PEI airport. Weather: Mid 70's. A bit cloudy and rained a couple of times, but it didn't affect our trip. We got suntanned without even trying. Transportation: Ubers are so cheap (think pennies for local rides!) For day trips, we used drivers/tour guides. Accommodations: We stayed in 2 Airbnb's near Chabad (10 minute walk). Wake - in a beautiful hotel, jacuzzi on the porch, pristine. The Spot Bldg #52 - cool interior design, I'd say 4 stars because it can use a deep clean, but the security guards were great for Shabbos. They removed the battery from the door and were at the front desk all the time. D estornillador is screwdriver in Spanish, you're welcome;) ...
