BACHELOR PARTIES IN MEDELLIN
10 years ago, Medellin was truly a bachelor party paradise. With not a tourist in sight and a cornucopia of eligible women available at every nightclub, the world was for the taking. Years later, with Netflix launching Narcos and amazingly written newspaper articles (Damn you, Wall Street Journal), Medellin opened up to the world.
With the key to the city being handed to the rest of the world and crime rates at an all-time low (surprisingly low compared to most major cities in America), improvements were made in infrastructure. What does this mean? Improved roads, better hotels, and restaurants to add to the already picturesque views and insanely hot women. Medellin was now on the map as a right of passage for any bachelor party group. Its sumptuous villas up in the mountain really provide you with the realization that you don’t need to spend a ton of money to live a Lamar Odom-like weekend.
MEDELLIN PROS (MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER)
- Better looking women
- Better weather
- More outdoorsy things to do
- More authentic feel to it (not as touristy)
- Epic views
MEDELLIN CONS
- Not a large amount of pimped out villas in Medellin
- No Beach
BACHELOR PARTIES IN CARTAGENA
Cartagena is Colombia’s historic city. It is a place with history written all over it and history that has been preserved for centuries. However, bachelor party groups aren’t lured just because the city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They become enamored by its amazing nightlife, great restaurants, and exotic islands.
Cartagena, Colombia is a city for bachelor party groups that need a beach destination. It’s a place you can’t visit without taking a day excursion out to Rosario Islands on a pimped-out yacht with a few VIP hostesses. A city where every place you look has the potential to be picture worthy and a place where aside from getting plastered every night, you can also bring your family. But aside from all of that, once you catch a glimpse of the Villas in Cartagena, more specifically the walled city, you won’t help but want to fill that pool up with girls.
CARTAGENA PROS
- Yacht Parties (for some people all they need is this)
- More Restaurants
- Better Nightlife (but a tad bit Americanized)
- Island Excursions
CARTAGENA CONS
- Inflated costs a many days to day items (importance of a third-party Cartagena Bachelor Party Agency)
- More Touristy
As bachelor party destinations, both places are unique and provide different sensations. Medellin is charming and authentic without looking too touristy while Cartagena mixes history and rustic design with the beach. Both are bachelor party destinations that I’m sure once you’ll do one you’ll have to do the other. To make a long story short, come to Medellin for the women and before you see a Starbucks at every corner, come to Cartagena for the beaches and private islands.
