Medellín, Colombia, tops the list of Best Places

on this continent, according to Go Visa Free's

top-ten list for 2023.


The accompanying article posts the fact of

the Paisa capital's year-round spring-like weather

as one reason for the city's high ranking.


The existence of a speedy Metro rail service

mitigates against the roadway traffic that

Medellin has attracted, Go Visa Free says.


Two other reasons for Medellín's high marks...

  -- Low cost of living

  -- Thriving party town

Cowering in the Paisa capital?


The same article says one reason to consider

Medellín is that it "offers fair-priced

cowering spaces."


Huh?


I suspect that this is a typo .. and the author

meant to say that Medellín offers

fair-priced co-working spaces, for digital

nomads, for instance.

I want to investigate Cuenca to split with Envigado, I have lived in several barrios in Medellin, I think Envigado and Sabanetta are better than Medellin if i was to get more specific
