Is there anyone on this board who has lived both Medellin Colombia and Cuenca Equador?
I'm researching for relocation. I'm down to Medellin and Cuenca. Other than weather, and "feel" of the two cities they seem fairly comparable.
This has been (and is) a very interesting journey. I originally started with Panama.
Would love to get some feedback.
Thanks

Did you read Kathie Peddicord's recent comparison on Live & Invest Overseas? That should tell you all you need to know.

I believe the Maestro lived in Medellin for a time.
He has his forum where he answers questions.

Depends on what your motive is , if your single and enjoy good night life-Medellin, If your very health conscious and prefer a more quiet relaxing place and much cooler temperatures-Cuenca

Cuenca heat?
This thread has been dormant for a decade,
somehow surviving the Home Office's recent
attempts to scrub our most ancient threads.
However, the topic of Cuenca vs. Medellin
is arguably evergreen, so I am pumping a little
life into este hilo antiguo.

Now to the part about Cuenca, which has been
recording record-high temperatures for August
and September due to El Niño effects
on ocean water which have been producing more
sunny days than usual.
What's most amazing about this 'heat wave' is
that August's recent new high was only 77 degrees F.
and the new all-time September record is just 76 F, set
on September 3. August is often the coolest
month of any given year.
Temps in the low to mid 80's F. are common in
Medellin in any month of the year.
