medellin this weekend for feria de las flores
07-24-2011, 12:00 PM
headed to medellin this weekend for the feria de las flores. anybody got any advice??? i'll be there thursday through sunday. i have some connections over there but not as many as bogota so i decided to stay for the first time ever in a hostel, with a private room.
if anybody's got any tips on spots to hit up, things to do, etc. it'd be appreciated. thanks fellas

never would've thought of avoiding parque llieras, but definitely something to consider- i'll look for other venues. thx

great advice. that's too bad about the ratio though. i'll try to meet up with some CC people and join a bigger circle with better ratios, outside of llierias like you were saying. also curious to check out the hostel scene. but will get a hotel if need be.

i don't know, i assume it changes as the festival wears on but i found it to be pretty good in terms of numbers, especially on saturday during the soccer game. i think if i played the colored dot game, there would have been equal pink and blues but more groups of pinks then you typically see in colombia. maybe even more pinks overall

The horse parade was sooo soo epic.... ! Does anyone know good outdoor parties during the week?? I checked out aeroparque yesterday but it was raining so heavily i had to come home... Yesterday felt like more of a family day
Oh, and if anyone gets lucky and needs a hotel (in my case im at a hostel), catch a cab to ESTADIO to hotel Thematic Suites
25$ or 50 mil for private room all night... comes with fully stocked fridge, jacuzzi and DISCO LIGHTS ! Had pleasure of fun night with a paisa on friday night !
