Lots of Americans have heard of Medellin, and it’s almost invariably because that is where Pablo Escobar lived, developed his drug empire, kidnapped and killed, and eventually died. But it is also Colombia’s second largest city, and has about the best year-round weather you can imagine.
In Colombia and the rest of the tropics weather is dependent on elevation, not distance from the equator. Medellin is still in the mountains, but has a much lower elevation than Bogota, so the weather is basically low-to-mid-seventies year round. Humidity is also reasonable, so it’s kind of like south Florida in winter–just about perfect.
