Salsa Lessons (Tuesdays, 9:00pm-10pm)
Our Tuesday salsa classes are absolutely free and one of the best things to do in Medellin. We have guests from other hostels and even locals that come by for our free weekly salsa lessons. Our salsa teacher is a Medellin local and has been dancing salsa professionally for a long time. Classes are filled with beginners, so don’t be afraid if this is your first time. After the class, the group usually goes to el Eslabon Prendido, a famous salsa club.

Love how this hostel has a lot of social/hangout areas. You have the couches, hammocks, castle, balcony. Very friendly and helpful staff. I asked an infinite amount of questions and they were always eager to help me. They were practically my tour guides. The atmosphere and vibe of this hostel is amazing. I am a solo traveler so meeting people that like to have a good time was no problem here. I have a few trips lined up after my stay at wandering paisa. Going to reunite with the people from my stay here.
