Links we like
In short
A short list of websites we like and use when we're not writing about Medellín ourselves, with a few words on why each one is worth your time.
I Love Medellín has kept a small links page for years. It's short on purpose: these are sites we actually use, not a directory. Every link was checked on 21 October 2026. For more friends, mostly in Costa Rica, see our amigos internacionales page.
Costa Rica Journeys
For when one tropical country isn't enough.
An independent travel guide to Costa Rica, with beaches, regions, hotels and the practical stuff you need to plan a trip. Plenty of travelers pair Colombia with Costa Rica, and this is a friendly, well-organized place to plan that second leg.
Medellín on Wikipedia
The long version, with footnotes.
Our guide sticks to what's useful for a visit. When you want the bigger picture, from the city's founding to its comunas and how it reinvented itself, Wikipedia's Medellín article is a solid, well-sourced read, and a good one for the flight over.
