Parque Lleras for Solo Travellers

How to meet people, stay safe and get the most out of Parque Lleras on your own — hostels, crawls, language exchange and day tours.

Travelling alone is easy around Parque Lleras — it is one of the most social corners of Colombia. The trick is plugging into the right events and keeping your guard up at night. Here is how.

Meet people

Where solo travellers connect

Hostels. Social hostels run nights out and events — see hostels near Parque Lleras.

Pub crawls. Guided rooftop-and-club crawls are built for people on their own and include entry.

Language exchange. Tuesday evenings at Vintrash pair locals and visitors before turning into a party.

Day tours. Group tours to Comuna 13 and Guatapé are easy ways to meet people in daylight.

Stay safe

The rules that matter

Keep your phone out of sight on the street, carry only what you need, and use app-booked rides at night. Never leave a drink unattended or accept drinks from strangers, and be wary of very fast friendships, especially through dating apps — meet in busy public places.
