IMHO-- 5 days way too short of time tor putting in a "day trip"
[QUOTE=Sargent50;1898132]Be in MDE next week a few days (5) would a day trip to Bogota be recommended? Or split the stay 50/50 Mde / Bog? Any input appreciated.[/QUOTE]Day trips in general are a waste of time. If you have plenty of time to waste they are fine-- but 5 days IMHO is way too short of time to jam in an excursion.
Some people like to be busy. Personally I hate the packing / unpacking, checking in-out of hotels / apartments, arranging taxi to / from airports. If you only have 5 days you will be spending 1/2 your time coming and going. Relax-- there is more than enough for you to enjoy in Medellin. If you are asking this type of question I suspect you do not have Medellin mastered. Go to BOG next time.
