San Gil or Medellin

I´m currently in Bogota, flying out of Cartagena on the 12th. Do backpackers generally recommend San Gil or Medellin on the way to Santa Marta and Cartagena?

Gracias!

Well they are 2 different things: Medellin is a modern big city, while San Gil became a kind of hub for outdoor sports (canyoning, paragliding, etc…)

Good evening,

For Medellin, it's a huge city with a vibrant nightlife. You have a lot of activities in the city and also outside (for a day or more)

San Gil is the hub of outside sports or activities. You have also some others possibilities (villages or places) like Barichara (it's not the only one) for visiting.

It could be San Gil and Medellin. Between Cartagena and Medellin, you can stop in Mompox (but it's time consuming to reach it)
