What you gain in July
- ↑Best weather conditions of the non-Feria calendar: 29°C, 7 hours of sunshine, and 68mm of rain — genuinely comfortable days and warm dry evenings on the El Poblado terraces
- ↑Candelaria summer festival: the Barrio Laureles neighbourhood food and music festival brings the city's best chefs, DJs, and craft beer producers to the Estadio district for a week
- ↑Parque Arví and coffee region day trips in ideal conditions: the Metrocable ride and forest park at the top, and the coffee farms around Santa Elena and Guatapé, at their most photogenic
What you sacrifice
- ↓International tourism building ahead of August Feria: El Poblado becomes noticeably more tourist-heavy in July, and some of the neighbourhood's more local character is muted
- ↓Hotel rates rising from June as pre-Feria demand builds: book ahead for August now if you haven't already — it will be too late in three weeks
- ↓68mm of rain: still the odd afternoon shower, though significantly lighter than the wet season months
