The evolution of Medellin's expat community and tourists reveals a significant shift over the years. Initially attracting backpackers and older expats, Medellin saw changes post-2010. Positive developments like the electric stairs in low-income areas garnered international attention, boosting the city's image. Shifts continued with increased tourism, especially bachelor parties, followed by solo female travelers post-2018. The pandemic brought a slowdown, but 2021 marked a surge in digital nomads and families moving in, drawn by low living costs and better infrastructure. The introduction of the Digital Nomad Visa in 2022 intensified this trend, enticing people to establish long-term bases. Recently, a new wave emerged—wealthier expats seeking property investments, drawn by the city's amenities, climate, and cost-effectiveness.
