20M first solo trip to Colombia (June, ~3 weeks) — Medellín vs Cartagena vs other spots? + tips for meeting people

Our take

Hey everyone! I’m a 20-year-old guy gearing up for my first solo trip to Colombia this June, and I’ll be adventuring for about 2 to 3 weeks. I’m torn between Medellín, Cartagena, and possibly some hidden gems along the way. I’d love to hear from anyone else traveling around that time! What are the must-see cities and experiences? Where can I meet fellow travelers and enjoy the nightlife?

What’s up everyone,

I’m 20M and this is going to be my first time solo traveling. I’m planning a trip to Colombia around mid-June for about 2–3 weeks.

I’m mainly looking at Medellín, Cartagena, and maybe some other spots, but I’m open to anything.

I had a few questions:

- Anyone else going around June?

- What are the best cities/places I should NOT miss?

- Any underrated spots or experiences?

- Good places to meet people / nightlife / social vibes?

- Is it easy to meet other solo travelers out there?

I plan on hitting the gym, exploring, and just enjoying the experience, so any recommendations are appreciated.

Also if anyone is gonna be out there around that time, I’d be down to connect 🤝

Appreciate any advice!

Colombia travel itinerary. Possible to hit Cartagena, Santa Marta, and Medellin?So I will be starting off in Cali Colombia going with my girlfriend. So I planned on starting off going to Cartagena for a few days. 2-3 is what I’ve gathered would be a good amount of time to see the city , go to an island, party. Then from there go to Santa Marta for about 2 days. One day to go to tayrona and another day to see and party in Santa Marta. Has anyone ever been to Minca ? Would it also be cool to see and sleep over in the hostel in minca? After 2 days and possible one in Minca I would like to go to Medellin for about 4 days before returning to Cali. Does this sound like a good plan? Can anyone help or give advice I would greatly appreciate it submitted by /u/paperclipboi [link] [comments]
