Best time to go
- December to March: driest. December brings the Film Festival and the Diablitos festivities, so expect crowds and high prices.
- June to August: moderate rain and mid-year school holidays.
- April, May, October and November: the wettest months, with afternoon showers. Fewer people and better weekday rates.
In this heat, a pool makes all the difference. See hotels with a pool or plan a day pass. If you travel in December, read festivals and book early.
What to pack: light cotton clothes, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and repellent. To get there, see how to get there from Medellín.
