A guide built like the Metro

Medellín Guide organizes the city the way locals actually navigate it, by line and by station. No listicle filler, no stock-photo generalities: named venues, real prices in COP and USD, and neighborhood-level honesty about safety.

How this guide is produced

Coverage starts with structured research across official sources (Metro de Medellín, the Alcaldía de Medellín and its SISC security data, the U.S. State Department advisory), current operator pricing, and recent first-hand reports. Drafting is research-assisted; every page is reviewed and finished by the editorial desk before it publishes, and safety guidance is never published without human review.

How prices are verified

Recurring facts (metro fares, the airport white-taxi rate, entrance fees, tour price ranges) live in a single verified dataset and are checked against official and local sources. Current verification pass: July 2026. Every page shows its own "last updated" date. If a price on this site disagrees with what you paid this month, we want to know.

Corrections

Found something wrong or out of date? Emaileditor@medellinguide.com. Verified corrections ship in the next update pass and the page's date reflects it.

How this site makes money

Some booking links (tours, insurance, car rental) pay us a commission at no cost to you. They are always disclosed on the page where they appear, and recommendations are never sold: anything we link is something we would tell a friend to book.
