#Climat Composés de centaines de milliers d’arbres et de plantes, 30 corridors verts ont été créés en quelques années à #Medellín, pour endiguer la hausse des températures. La ville est devenue plus fraîche. (#paywall, je n'ai lu que le début)

Thinking about my year-end trip in 2024. I feel, I should #travel to #Medellin. Or at least to South America as I was never there in my life.

Anyone here on Mastodon was in #Colombia? Looking forward to you recommendations.

Hmm, best to skip the dating scene in Medellin, I think.

"In the first 10 months of 2023, Medellin's tourism observatory had already recorded 32 violent killings of foreigners in the city - including at least 12 Americans and three from the United Kingdom - a 40% increase from the previous year. ... The embassy says several of these cases began with a dating app used to lure victims, part of a concerning increase in people who end up "drugged, robbed, and even killed by their Colombian dates". Neither Tinder nor Bumble, both popular in the city, would comment."
