[QUOTE=JohnnyWishBone;1984032]This was a good read: sound advice. I'm planning to visit Colombia for the first time this year and I'm going to take Spanish lessons for the next six months in preparation. I'm thinking September would be good a time to go weather wise? What do you think? Medellin and Cartagena are the destinations for my visit.[/QUOTE]Weather is the same all year, pleasant in Medellin, hot in Cartagena.
