hey guys am moving to medellin in about two months and just wanted to know if there are any local groups from the states that can help me out on really getting to know the city. I have been to colombia plenty of times, but have mostly stuck to the coast , barranquilla, santa marta, cartagena etc. Have actually never been to medellin but want to give it a try.

There is usually a monthly expat meetup at the Sky Bar at Parque Lleras.

Sky Bar (2nd floor - located half a block from Parque Lleras, right opposite Mykonos)
Carrera 38 #8 - 13

You would want to check out internations.org for more info on this meetup.

Good luck!

Will there be a meeting between Sept 13 and 19? I'm coming from Spain for a recon trip and hope to meet others. My wife and I move to a new country every year, (originally from US) and I'm doing the advance legwork to check on Medellin for next year. Welcome contacts from anyone in Medellin and hope to meet some of you during that week.
