In reply to Drosebud. It's funny how they never use the correct term, that only applies to people moving to thrir country or poorer people allegedly!! 😂 Yes, they are all immigrants, many carrying out work here illegally and not contributing to all the public services they are constantly complaining about.

Comment on Medellín Furnished Apartment Rental Costs by Gerald Espinosa

These rentals cost as much as apartments in Los Angeles,Ca. Obviously these are investment properties by many foreigners looking for big profits. I have lived in both Cali and Cartagena before and paid far less. Granted they were not luxury apartments,but still the most i ever paid for a fully furnished 1 bdrm was $ 400 USD,and that was 1 block from ocean. With a view !!!

Comment on Uber Banned in Colombia: What Happened & Alternative Rideshare Apps by Joe

If you really look who is behind the ban, you’ll see certain politicians and powerful people who own taxi companies. They have pressured the legislators to ban them. It’s always about power and money.

Hahaha…americans are soooo ready to be offended. It’s ridiculous. Gringo is not a derogatory term. And I happen to be a gringo myself.

Why didn’t you mention Elefun Spanish school?? They really need to be updated into this list because they are by far the best (and cheapest) language school in Medellín. They are located in Laureles which is not as full of tourists as el Poblado AND next to some universities which are expensive, they are the only accredited Spanish language school that offers a Student VISA and not expensive! They helped me staying longer than 6 months and it is awesome to have classes in Elefun, everyone is so nice and the ambiance is really chill! Highly recommended!

Elefun Spanish school in Laureles is by far the best (and cheapest!) language school in Medellín. It is located in Laureles which is way better than el Poblado, which is full of tourists. The ambiance in Elefun is awesome and it felt like my new Colombian family right away! They offer fun activities as well and I have improved my Spanish tremendously!

Also, next to some universities (which are ridiculously expensive) they are the ONLY accredited Spanish language school that offers a Student VISA! My friend and I applied for one and they have helped us with everything. I was not ready to leave Medellín after 6 months and thanks to Elefun I can stay for way more time! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
