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](/amigos-internacionales/) page.

### [Costa Rica Journeys](https://costaricajourneys.com/)

*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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medell%C3%ADn)

*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.
