Medellín was my first stop in Colombia. I’ve already heard a lot of good things about the city. Especially among the digital nomads it seems to be very popular. Unfortunately, my impression was not quite as positive. A lot of things seem to have changed for the worse in recent years. Especially Corona has driven many people to the streets and especially into the hands of drugs. On the way to the city center you meet a lot of people just injecting or preparing a pipe. As the guide of a free walking tour tells us, we tourists are part of the problem. On the one hand, we bring money into the city, with which more and more people can finance their lives, on the other hand, we drive up prices so high that many can no longer afford the rents.
