How people pair up in Colombia
Medellín is the base most people start from, with day trips to Guatapé and coffee farms. On the Caribbean coast, Cartagena, Santa Marta and Tayrona National Park are the next stops. The Lost City trek (Ciudad Perdida) takes several days through the jungle from near Santa Marta and is done in guided groups, so many people look for friends to book it with.
When people go
December to March is dry on the Caribbean coast and a popular time to travel. Medellín holds its Feria de las Flores in August. Barranquilla Carnival, one of the biggest in the world, happens in February or March before Lent.
Where travelers meet
Salsa classes and bars, walking tours, hostels in Medellín and the old town in Cartagena. For a first meeting, keep it public, in the daytime and in a busy area, the same as anywhere.
