https://www.aeropuertos.net/aeropuerto-internacional-jose-maria-cordova-taxi/ https://medellinguru.com/taxi-guide/.Awesome first post of the year. Here's some more info on airport transport.

1. Airport Bus 9500 k, I usually take to San Diego Mall. Here's a great link on airport transport and how to get to meeting points etc: http://www.josephle.com/blog/how-to-get-from-medellin-to-the-international-airport-mde-cheap-inexpensive-rio-negro-poblado.

2. White Collectivo taxi goes from Airport to San Diego Mall as well, costs 17000 k per person. I took this once, it won't leave until full and you might as well just take the bus.

3. Uber. Uber isn't any cheaper, and the pickup at the airport is "walk out the door go up some steps to some random parking lot where some guy is waiting" because they aren't allowed to pickup there. Might as well just take a cab for 65-70 k.

<Faceplant .

Finally figured out why Uber sucks so much in Colombia. My last Uber driver told me they take 25%-35% commish. No wonder most of them seem to cancel.

A few friends recommended inDriver. This is the new perfect app, bid your own price. You pick the price, so hop on Google Maps and see what Uber would charge and put it in. My friend said you can get to the MDE airport for 40 k, which is half the taxi price. You pay the driver in cash upon delivery, and according to the drivers, there's no commish the first year, so you can understand why Uber is not working well. Who knows how long they will last. Used it 4 times and every time driver responded in 30 seconds and pickup less than 3 minutes. No more Uber!

Haven't used yet in MDE but been loving it in Barranquilla (Taxi's in BAQ and Santa Marta don't have meters). Uber-what?

No more Uber!During my most recent trip to Medellin, almost every time I checked the Uber rate, it was more than a taxi. No matter the time of day or night, the Uber app said the rates were higher because of increased traffic. They should be honest and say their rates are higher because they are taking more from the driver if they are indeed taking 25-35%.

Totally agree with you it's pleasing to have FS with girls who know each other I called a chick from https://bit.ly/2DvHLMQ on the first meet I had only intercourse with her but then I asked her if she knows some other chicks so, in the second meet she came 4 other girls and one of them is Babyback and then they all get comfortable in front of me and provide me BL, BJ, BLS, DT, and even FRENCH WITHOUT so much fun fully satisfied.

Guides.Anyone give anyone from this list a try? I am looking to possibly book a pickup and guide during my stay in Medellin. Pickup maybe from a homie driver who can give me inside scoop. Also someone who can show me the tourist spots including Casas when I'm not sightseeing.

Not sure if her info has been posted but I found her on Craigslist a while ago. We communicated a month out before my trip so I could feel her out. She's solid. She picked me up from the airport and took me to my hotel. From there off to the action we went. She's a local and knows her way around well. She knows where all of the massage parlors, casas, strip clubs, love motels, are and much more LOL. If you want some sightseeing tours she does that too. I asked her for permission to post on here. I told her what this board is about and she is good with all that. Treat her well guys and tell them you got her contact from "The Sex Board" or from Danny. This way she will know you're a monger LOL. By the way this is also good for the newbies like me that have no fuckin clue about anything in Medellin. Her rates are attached. Her whatsapp is +57300xxxx515 If you reach out be cool with her she's good people. If you're a dick don't bother.

Thanks for posting this. I too have made a small conversation with her on Whatsapp about possibly hiring her as a guide, I haven't told her that I am a fellow monger yet, sure will now. Does she let you smash too? LOL I am okay if she doesn't at all but a chunky chick with a cute face I know for sure most likely sucks a mean dick can be a fantasy LMAO.

She's very open though and would not judge you if you asked her. She probably gets asked all the time.

She told me she knew about 25 different strip clubs she could take me to. Honestly had I been feeling better I would have explored with her a lot more. Next time. Whatever you are thinking of just ask her and she can probably take you to find it.

With the current exchange rates, she's like 7 USD change per hour. I wonder if I can get a more stellar deal if I book her for multiple days with a lump-sum amount.

Anyways, did you have her run around El-Centro with you looking for hot-hood-rats? From reading ya'll reports, I doubt I will need more help or someone to watch my back if I go after FB chicks, Casas, and Strip Clubs but I would certainly need that person to watch my back as I circum-navigate the streets behind la Veracruz for fine tail while dodging the bands of transvestites.

Did you also hire her to wait around while you banged out the chica to get you that shift exit after wards? Just trying to iron-out all the details and logistics before I commit to paying her salary.

I did not have her ride around me to El Centro but she suggested it one day. I just didn't have much time to do all the things I wanted to but believe me man she knows where all the spots are. She was in my in strip club while I banged the one chick if that's what you're referring too. She does not mind hanging out at strip clubs and actually likes it. I would not commit to paying a salary just in case you don't like the service. She's easy going ass fuck and I don't see why you would not like her. I am going there again soon and I will definitely use her again. And not just for mongering LOL. Post the report after your trip!

So just a very brief description for people planning their first trip. Experienced Medellin travelers can skip the first paragraph.

You fly into Jose Maria Cordova airport in Rio Negro which is quite a distance from Medellin. (There is an airport inside the city limits but that is only for domestic flights). You exit the plane and walk down a long passageway that leads to a large open room with two lines. One for Colombian citizens and one for everyone else. You make your way through the winding line and you finally hit a Migracion Colombia window. They will run your passport and sometimes ask you a question or two or three, stamp your passport and you are on your way. Next a little further down the hallway is the luggage retrieval where you will get your bag (s). Then as you continue down the hallway you will go through customs but that will be very quick. They will look at your passport and maybe ask you what you are doing here (meaning Colombia). Tell them "de vacaciones" and you will get waved through. Next you go through a doorway and there are many money changing windows (which are a rip-off to put it plainly). You will also get swarmed by guys asking you for a taxi. If you choose to take a taxi they will escort you and help you with your bags.

A taxi ride costs 80 mil. That is the set fee these days. It used to be a little less but with the tunnel open there is an 18 mil fee to enter (which the taxi driver will pay) so 80 mil reimburses him for that fee. There are other ways to get back that are less expensive. Those have been discussed in other areas. I just flew back last week and everything went smoothly up to the taxi assignment. My guy handed me off to another guy who instead of taking me to the curb for the next taxi in line took me up an escalator and outside to the airport parking lot. This was a first for me. When we got to his vehicle he had a nice new double cab pick-up truck. Very odd, I'm used to smaller private cars or real taxis. I asked him how much (Cuanto cuesta?) and he told me 250 mil. I laughed at him and took my suitcase handle back. He then said well OK, I'll take you there for 150 mil because it is a large truck. I told him no, I know the price and walked back to the terminal and got a real taxi. The new driver quoted me 80 mil which was just fine. So, the airport taxi to Medellin (whether it be Poblado, Laureles or some other normal place) is 80 mil and not more.

I'm from USA, living most of the year in Medellin. I have numerous years of experience here. I'm busy with many pursuits. I am not retired or on a pension. But I do offer guide service to new visitors. Availability is limited. I don't charge a fee but you'll be paying for my fun too. Let me know what I can help you with. If you are arrogant, and disrespectful to people and cultures, we are probably not a good match.

... Next you go through a doorway and there are many money changing windows (which are a rip-off to put it plainly). You will also get swarmed by guys asking you for a taxi. If you choose to take a taxi they will escort you and help you with your bags. ...I can condense this and make it short and easy. Unless you have made prior arrangements with a driver or your place of lodging, ignore all the people just outside customs. Go outside to the curb and look for a white taxi. If you don't see one, look for someone with some type of uniform (someone who works at the airport) and ask where to get a taxi. Most people there are friendly and will help you. The white taxis will take you to most areas in and around Medellin for 80,000, no hassles. Going to Itagui or Bello is a little more. Rates are set by the government.

I think the yellow taxis are legally not allowed to pick up random people at the airport, only those who have made prior arrangements with them. Still, most of the yellow taxi drivers are honest, but occasionally there will be one who will try to take advantage of travelers. Some of the scams I have heard is they will tell the traveler that the tolls are not included in the government rate or the government no longer sets the rate.

Rather than say it is a "Taxi Scam", I say it is a bootleg taxi scam.

What's the current rate from the airport to El Poblado area? Can I get an uber at the airport?The official rate from the airport to Poblado is 90 mil. You can get an Uber at the airport. You'll need to make arrangements to make it appear you are a friend of the driver. I've had an Uber driver pick me up, but I knew her from a previous trip.

Here are current rates from the MDE airport to Medellin if you still need them or any other place in the metro area for that matter.

So getting Uber is just a matter of ordering one from the terminal and meeting upstairs outside on departures level rather than arrivals first level? Would the Ubers be likely available on a Thursday late afternoon around rush hour and would the rate likely be lower than the white taxis? If not, then I might as well just hop into a white one.
