How does it actually work?

Choose the group that sounds like you, tap WhatsApp, send the ready-made message. A Medellín-based moderator checks it's the right fit and adds you to the chat - most people are in within a day. No account, no download, no charge.

Yes — no charge, ever. Every Medellín People Club group is free to join. We keep your number private, keep the chat spam-free, and keep ads out of the groups entirely.

Can I join more than one group?

Nothing stops you joining several - two to four is typical. A remote worker who hikes at sunrise and dances on weekends could easily be in Digital Nomads, Hikers, and Salsa & Reggaeton Nights at the same time.

What's the group size? Won't it be spammy?

Each group tops out near 250 people, kept in check by active moderation. Spam, crypto pitches, and random promo get pulled the moment they show up. It stays a group people actually read, not background noise.

I'm only in Medellín for 5 days. Worth joining?

Ten days or five, Tourists - 10 Days is built for exactly that. Expect an invite to Tuesday's group dinner, a ride-share partner for the Guatapé day trip, and locals steering you toward the miradores that aren't on anyone's Instagram grid yet.

I don't have WhatsApp. Another option?

WhatsApp is how nearly everything gets arranged here, from hailing a ride to booking a hike, so it's the quickest path into a group. If installing it isn't an option, get in touch via the contact page and we'll find another way.

Are these groups safe? Vetted?

Every new member sends one short intro before joining - a photo, first name, where they're from, which group they want. Scam or harassment reports mean an instant removal, no exceptions. It works because it behaves like a circle of friends, not a public listing.

The people behind Medellín People Club are long-term residents and travellers who believe nobody should have to navigate this city alone. It grew from a single WhatsApp group in 2021 into the ten we moderate today. This is a labor of love, not a company.

About this group

Chiva horn, flower crates, a restored 1950s Jeep — who does not love that?

For the vehicle that carries Antioquia’s coffee and the Feria de las Flores silleteros, this group runs restoration meetups, rural day-trip convoys, and Desfile de Silleteros crew coordination.

Group vibe

Nostalgic, proud — who else keeps a piece of Antioquia running like this?
