Agree. I tend to go for a girl with nice body. Even if the girl is a poor performer, it doesn't hurt since it is so cheap. Plus I have some regulars who can provide good service any time. Only problem is the quality of bed at Puntos and other casas, as Cerebro previously indicated. But you can talk to mamasan and perhaps you can take the girl to a hotel close to Puntos.
.When I visit casas I use my own sheets if they do not provide clean sheets. I always have clean sheets and towels in my knapsack.
I thought so also, but I keep getting conflicting information. For example, Wikipedia says personal consumption is legal. Marijuanatravels.com says it's illegal. Druglawreform.com says it's technically legal but police may still apply "selective measures. ".
I also read the local newspapers and I continually see conflicting information. When in doubt I will err on the side of caution. When I'm not in my home country, I don't like to push legal issues.You can carry up to 1 gram of coke and up to 20 grams of weed with you anywhere in Colombia as it has been decriminalized (the laws on this subject were changed in 1994, 2009 and again in 2011). Foreigners often get harassed and made to feel that if they caught with coke they are going to jail, but if you can avoid looking like you're going to shit your pants and simply offer to go to the police station, they'll generally let you go without incident. They are just looking for a bribe.

If she understands the baby babble, she will understand you when you speak correct English. One does not assimilate into another culture by speaking slow, loud, broken English Baby Babble!
Your thoughts gentlemen?? Feel free to guff, harass & call me out as needed!I strongly disagree. Slow, loud broken English Baby Babble is much easier to understand if the listener doesn't have a reasonably good command of English. If you don't speak the local language you're not going to assimilate into the culture anyway.
I can think of many personal experiences that contradict what you think. One example, my American ex-brother-in-law insisted on speaking normally to my Spanish ex-girlfriend. Why not, he could understand everything she said, and to do otherwise would be insulting or demeaning. She couldn't understand him, at all. She always had to ask me what he was saying. She and I had no trouble on the other hand communicating in English. It's a matter of degree depending on how fluent your listener is. With the ex-girlfriend, I was grammatically correct but would speak slower than normal and avoid words and phrases she didn't understand. On the other hand, if speaking with a Thai bar girl, I use slow, broken English Baby Babble. If I talk normally she's not going to have any idea what I'm saying.
Telling you what you already know, treat the non native English speaker the way you'd want to be treated. You know how it's difficult to understand a person when she's speaking rapidly and using lots of "dichos" or slang. Give others the same courtesy that you'd like to have.
Dickhead, nice response to El Mechanico's post -- that's a great cheat sheet for the subjunctive. I'd totally forgotten to use the subjunctive with impersonal expressions.

Give others the same courtesy that you'd like to have.What came first, the chick speaking baby babble or the foreigner who taught her using baby babble because he thought it would be easier, so that is what she knows? If she can learn baby babble, then she can learn the correct form of the language.
Why would you need to speak loudly? No matter what volume you say coche, if I don't know what it means saying it louder is not going to help. Maybe you mean ennunciate.
I used to have a girlfriend in Peru who would sometimes decide she needed to speak to me in Spanish baby babble because I am not a native Spanish speaker; even though I never gave a hint that I did not understand what she was saying. It seemed really stupid. I would say Celia, I am American, not retarded.
Read my post again Enternational. I said I spoke grammatically correct English with my ex-girlfriend, not baby babble. With respect to speaking to Thai bar girls, I intentionally left out the word "loud". And I said I vary my speaking style based on how fluent the listener is. If I were in Celia's shoes, I would have never used baby babble unless you had a 200 word or less Spanish vocabulary.
In Latin America this is not an issue for me because I speak Spanish and don't give English lessons. But it's not my goal, for example, to teach Asian bar girls who never graduated from high school and who I'll never see again how to speak better English. That's something we probably disagree about.

I hosted an old Navy and college buddy whose first time in Thailand was at the beginning of this month. He kept walking around saying what I considered to be baby babble. For instance when looking to change money he would walk around saying "Change-ee, change-ee?" I finally said man why in the hell are you speaking like that? He said because that is how it was done in Korea when his girlfriend took him there. I said just talk normal. People are not going to understand what that other shit is.
I'm not saying that you have to teach hookers English. I am just saying not to add insult to injury by perpetuating someones low level of English by speaking with them in something that is not English at all.
Does anyone have the 411 on a girl that goes by the name of Kelly Paisa? She had a FB site for a while but I had heard she was off the market. Someone said they thought they saw her coming out of the Hawaii Suites hotel on Friday after the game. Is she back available again?
Cheers!Her phone is deactivated too. I haven't been able to get in touch with her. I think she is off the market, but if you have any other info to contrary it would be appreciated.
The whole world is a scary place for a germaphobe.

"Changee, Changee", hilarious! OK, Enternational, now I understand. You and El Mechanico literally meant Baby Babble. We're on the same page. I was regurgitating Mechanico's phrase when I wrote "loud," and also agree that's not a good idea.

I've been in Colombia for work the last three weeks, and for a bit of that time was in and out of Medellin where I had a little time for some opportunistic mongering. As usual, there were loads of gorgeous girls, everywhere, and it was almost painful walking around town. On my first pass through the city, I stayed in the barrio Estadio where I like to make use of the aquatic center there. Convenience is key, so that makes Energy the default casa as I sometimes don't have the time or the juice to run around town. While quality seems to vary, I've had good, almost always very good, experiences there, and that was the case this year. On the first visit there were about a dozen girls, three very much to my liking, making the choice a bit of a challenge. Went with Valentina, a morena clara with an absolutely gorgeous face, nice natural body, and what's often the clincher for me, long jet black silky hair. Good choice as she was sweet, fun, sexy, no rush, great BBBJ, and overall a very good performer.
Four days later there were about 14 girls, five of whom I really liked. I know it seems stupid as hell to feel put out about having to choose which of five lovely Colombianas to fuck, but it just seems easier if there's only one or two in the group that I KNOW for sure that I want to go with. Anyway, went with Nicole, a very pretty, full figured girl with the beautiful hair I love. Big fake tits, not my favorite thing, but they worked for her, and she had a perfectly spectacular round ass. Wow, an excellent and enthusiastic performance, including a very sweet and wet BBBJ and nice DATY. Though YMMV, especially depending on your Spanish, I'the very much recommend both of these girls.
On the third visit, went with a young spinner, Iris, who I had had my eye on since the first visit. While she was overall pretty good, I'the been spoiled in the over the top expectation department by Valentina and Nicole. She wasn't bad, especially since she had the look I was in the mood for, but I wouldn't recommend her. Energy remains more expensive than the centro casas but still ridiculously cheap by my budget and totally worth it for girls like Valentina and Nicole. The girls and the place are immaculate, they've always been very polite and make a nice effort in presentation, and of course they have a more upscale ambiance.
For my fourth session, I was returning to Medellin after a few days out of town and was passing through the centro so made a stop at chicas punto com, checking both of the adjacent places. Ok line up at each place, but nothing really special. I asked the jefa for a recommendation and she recommended Alison who I almost went with, but I was in the mood for a flacita so went with Jennifer, a slim morena clara with a nice body and pretty face. It's so fucking easy to get spoiled by the many excellent girls I've enjoyed in Medellin, and by comparison Jennifer was a below average performer and definitely in the wrong business, but she was cute and I was horny, so I made the most of it. Even though I'm not a complainer and always know that it's a roll of the dice, I couldn't help but give the management an earful, mostly so that others won't waste their money.
My last about of free time was on a Sunday afternoon so with limited options I returned to chicas punto com in the hope that Alison might be there. She was. Alison is a bit tall and on the thick, but not fat, side so perhaps not to everyone's taste. She has a very sweet smile with little dimples and braces, a bit of an Asian look, long dark brown hair, great big natural tits, and caramel skin, but her top attribute was that she had the attitude and eagerness to please that we dream about. She was simply way above my already high expectations. Super sweet, energetic and passionate, awesome BBBJ with deep throat, DATY, kissed on the lips, and just sexy as hell. A super intense orgasm at 50 minutes was an absolutely perfect ending to this year's Colombia trip. What a fucking paradise.Great report! Thanks for posting. I too have tried many, not all, not half, but many of the casas in MDE over the past 5+ years, have had some good to great times at other places but for whatever reasons at ENERGY I find the gal that I click with and play outside the casa with.
Enjoy the Paisa's!

I strongly disagree.Well, we will just agree to disagree then.
My point was that if a local has enough of a command of the English language to understand baby babble, then they can understand the correct way to speak and why not let them hear proper (slow, not loud) English. They might appreciate it & you won't take the chance of insulting them if they do happen to understand English better than you think they do.
Another point I made, and I think it is more important than the baby-babble point, was if you have a 3+ hour plane ride down there, why not take some of that time to learn the basics. Counting to one hundred, how to tell time, how to order basic meals & beer, etc. It's not that difficult & everyone you meet down there will appreciate the effort.

The funny thing is that it's cheaper now than 10 years ago! I first started going to MDE 10 years ago. Mansion girls were still getting 150 K COP. Overnight was 250 K - 300 K depending on the girl and how much time TLN included. The exchange rate was something like 2200-2300 COP to the dollar. Look to today. Most Mansion girls are still 150 K COP. TLN has not really changed. But now the exchange rate is 3000 COP to the dollar. Nice deflation.

Up until this past Winter, I never paid that much for TLN. However, I only do it once or twice a trip and only with girls I get along with very well.

Yeah I hear 200 k a lot too, but that is like when you go to a car dealership. 200 k is the sticker price on the car. In reality you can easily negotiate down to 150 k even with extras.

I'm sure there are foreigners getting murdered in Medellin every month, but I just seen an article saying a gringo was shot in Parque Lleras last week, which I am surprised they would be shot in that area. Then there where 2 killed the week before. It said an Israeli guy was giving sex tourism tour business. I guess there is a new mayor in Medellin and he says he doesn't want Medellin to be a place for sex or drug tourism. Sounds like Cartagena or Taganga or something. This is probably worthless news. But maybe something will change. I think it was about 2-3 months ago that drinking in Parque Lleras, or maybe the other parks also was banned. I was in Medellin myself about 3 weeks ago and I seen for myself that they didn't allow drinking in the park and there were several police permanently stationed at Parque Lleras. At night I seen the cops with what looked like citation booklets to give out fines to people. There were still plenty of people hanging out though, just not drinking.

http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2016/06/22/killing-3-foreigners-past-2-weeks-causing-alarm-in-colombia-medellin/I wonder if they also banned drinking in Parque Poblado right off of Calle 10 a few blocks down the hill from Parque Lleras. Not good news people getting murdered in Medellin, especially in Poblado. Anybody currently in town that knows how extensive the drinking ban is? I wonder if they banned drinking in the Park at Botero Plaza as well? Lots of locals drink, smoke weed, and sniff glue there.
Lots of locals drink, smoke weed, and sniff glue there.I saw lots of glue sniffers when I was mongering solo in centro. Those were the scariest people. When they came up from inhaling, they looked like they were on another planet. A few seconds later, they looked like they would kill for that next hit.
There has been a bit of discussion on the Brazil board about girls with Asian features. I couldn't help but think of the numerous Paisas I've encountered with such features. Aside from the known Japanese presence in Peru, does anyone have any anthropological insight into these features being present in Colombia in particular? Aside from that, are there any straight Asian communities in either Medellin or Bogota that have P4P options? Now, I'm a strong believer in the "if you want X, go to X country" mantra, but there's a certain sexiness to a girl whose language differs from what you'd expect based on her looks.

None of the three were from the USA Or Canada. One was from Mexico, so no gringo there. The other two were from Israel and Denmark. I have seen reports where the last two were both believed to be involved with drugs and procuring prostitutes. Two dangerous activities in Medellin.
The last one was not killed in Parque Lleras. He was on the corner of calle 10 B and carrera 36, which is in Poblado, but not in Parque Lleras.

The last one was not killed in Parque Lleras. He was on the corner of calle 10 B and carrera 36, which is in Poblado, but not in Parque Lleras.I walked Calle 10 several times while in Medellin late last year. It's a major thoroughfare with a lot of good restaurants located on quiet side streets. So one minute you're walking on a well-lit and busy street with people and traffic humming by, and the next minute you're walking on a nearly dark street with very few cars and fewer people. I doubt the murderer and victim just bumped into each other. The former stalked the latter and pounced when the moment was right. Sad.
I wandered all over Poblado and around Parque Lleras late this evening, spent hrs looking for a cab, paid a uber guy double to get me Tomy hotel. I felt perfectly safe in and around Poblado. The young hotties were out in force tonight cause of the game. This is my first time in Mde and Colombia, so far very impressed with the city and people. Will try my first casa visit tomorrow. It seems like young chicas in this town have no problem going out with with way older guys as long as he takes her to a nice place to eat.

Where are the girls? Casino, walking around, hotel lobby, night clubs?
What's the average price?
Are overnight stays common?

I had 31 sessions on my last trip, that makes that $18 turn into $558. $558 would end up being about 1/8 of the total amount I spent, so an $18 difference for a session can add up quickly.

I personally mix it up between casas and independents. If you only go a few times a year, don't get wrapped around the axle over beating down the price. Just go and enjoy.
If you are on a small pension or live down there, of course you should do bargain hunting.
And it's about not turning Colombia into Costa Rica.San Jose is typically 80-100 per session.

What airport do I fly into?The answers to almost every one of your questions can be found by RTFF Most have been answered in the past few months.
What airport you should fly into depends on where in Colombia you want to visit. If your destination is Medellin, fly into the Medellin airport, if you're wanting to see Bogota, choose the Bogota airport. I'll leave it up to you to figure out how to get to Cali or Cartagena.
Where you should stay depends on many things, like which airport you fly into. It also depends on your comfort level, Spanish knowledge and the amount of research you're willing to do.

Well I like a lot of sex. Quite a few hours a day. So that's 18 dollars turns out to saving 100 dollars a day. 700 a week. You can do math.
And I am by no means rich, but spending one minute to negotiate is not much work. You are probably some trust fund baby who has never had to work. Daddy will send you more money right?

What he said. This most recent incident with the Dane was probably a deal gone bad, or an argument over who owed what to whom. That's why it's not a good idea for non-locals to get their party favors direct from the dealers. Better to develop a local friend or two who you could sorta trust to do the buys for you, even if it costs a bit more that way as you usually end up buying their weed or blow as well. The minute a dealer down there makes contact with a foreign client, he's already starting to think about the angles, what kind of money this guy has, what can I get / squeeze from him. It's just not smart.I agree and that's what happened to Noah Goldberg who some of you may remember as well. Buy your stuff at the super cheap retail places one of which we take you by on our day tour. Owing money will get you killed here relatively quickly! We have a new massage girl Lina who takes it to whatever level you want to go with nice hammers and of course is in her panties when she gives you the massage! Take a look on the ColombiaJake site.
Thanks,
Jake
Be in MDE next week a few days (5) would a day trip to Bogota be recommended? Or split the stay 50/50 Mde / Bog? Any input appreciated.Ehhh, I would pick either or if I were you. Whichever you don't pick this time, go next time. Then you can do a day trip to the place you go to this time. The logic is. The more familiar you are, the more efficient you'll be at mongering there. I'm more familiar with Bogota than Medellin, so I'd do a day trip to Bogota and know exactly what to do. For me, a day trip to Medellin would require a lot of planning and maybe a wingman on the ground. I think once you try Medellin, you'll be satisfied enough. Besides, half the girls you'll meet in Bogota are from Medellin! The other half are from Cali. Whatever choice you make, you'll have fun! Have your fill bro!

BrazilKing asked Hey fellas.
I want to visit Colombia for the first time. I've been to Brazil and DR so this isn't my first rodeo. I have some of the usual first time questions.
Where should I stay?
- I suggest the Stuttgart Marriott.
How's the food?
- Good, get the herring it is a national favorite.
Where are the girls? Casino, walking around, hotel lobby, night clubs?
- Try the top of the CN Tower, it is your best bet.
What's the average price?
- Hard to say but start with 2000 Talon and work you way down.
Are overnight stays common?
- Only on the sixth Tuesday of every month.
What airport do I fly into?
- Book your ticket into OVB.
Better answers may be found though reading through this forum.

Those were great answers. You forgot to note that one important skill brazilking should have is learning Quechua language which is the main language spoken by paisas and all Colombians. He should spend at least 5 years learning Quechua before going to Colombia or he will be confused with a lost gringo who Colombians love to kidnap, rob, kill, cut in little pieces, and cook them for their meals.

San Jose is typically 80-100 per session.Maybe for nose pickers and / or monoglots. I have never paid 100 dollars in Costa Rica and never intend to.

Does anyone have the 411 on a girl that goes by the name of Kelly Paisa? She had a FB site for a while but I had heard she was off the market. Someone said they thought they saw her coming out of the Hawaii Suites hotel on Friday after the game. Is she back available again?

Hello all,
So I hit up new life again yesterday. Only four girls to choose from as it was closing soon. Went with a very dark skin 20 yo named Azul.
She was real chill. Decent body. Personally I think my body was better at 20 yo haha, but she had a nice butt and decent bags. Covered BJ was OK. As good as covered can be. Went straight to doggy from the BJ as the condom is like shrink wrap for me. Her butt bones killed when I was slamming into her. First time it hurt so bad. Anyways gave her a good pounding.
She kept asking for propina. Of course I said, propina? Que es propina? I am down to give tips if I get BBJ, or something really good. But it was mediocre at best.
Will not repeat due to her potentially lethal butt bones.

What's up BrazilKing!
You fly into Jose Cordova International if you are coming from Brazil or any other country. If you are already in Colombia, you can also fly into Olaya Herrera.
I have a 3 bedroom 2 bath place and a 2 bedroom two bath place here in Medellin. I can rent you a private room in either of my two places depending on when you are coming. Pool, gym, views, well located, secure, etc.
If you are interested let me know. I just arrived here last month, but have done a ton of mongering here in Medellin already. Close to 20 girls. I mongered for the last four years on and off in Curacao at Campo Alegre before coming here.
Regards,
King

I have not read about any significant, sizeable Asian immigration, but I did about a few waves of Jewish and Arabic (and other) immigrations. It is safe to assume that many Paisas have some blood of native Americans (they will never admitt or accept it). Some theories maintain that the native Americans came from the Asian continent, but it was thousands of years ago Anyway.
Today, some girls tend to like having make up looking like Asian girls. Some girls told me that they try to have eyes looking like Asians.
I saw a few Chinese girls at Chinese restaurants. But they were not good looking at all. I am sure Colombianos don't bother them.
There has been a bit of discussion on the Brazil board about girls with Asian features. I couldn't help but think of the numerous Paisas I've encountered with such features. Aside from the known Japanese presence in Peru, does anyone have any anthropological insight into these features being present in Colombia in particular? Aside from that, are there any straight Asian communities in either Medellin or Bogota that have P4P options? Now, I'm a strong believer in the "if you want X, go to X country" mantra, but there's a certain sexiness to a girl ble whose language differs from what you'd expect based on her looks..

Can anyone recommend a place to rent for maybe 2-3 nights, that would have its own private pool or jacuzzi. Something to play in with the girls.http://pobladorentals.com/
I am staying here right now for 10 days. My unit (apt 302) has a good jacuzzi with some great mood lighting too. Lots of the units have Jacuzzi.

Hi,
Has any one used the MDE airport ATM? There are 2. Based on forums, second floor ATM gives better rates. I was wondering what is ATM limit (maximum withdrawal)?
Any information on ATM is appreciated!
Thanks!Just used it last night. I used the city bank ATM which allowed a maximum withdraw of 800,000 which I thought was a good amount to get started. When I checked my bank, that was about $280. Hope that helps.
I understand about reading the forum, but it's not always easy to search for specific answers. And some people don't have the time to read the entire 250 pages of posts. LOL.
Welcome to the board. Here you go:
Where should I stay? For a first timer, I would suggest to stay at the Mansion. http://hotelmedellinplaza.com/ It's a small hotel, and they have english speakers, and girls are invited there daily to hang out. They are available for sessions in your room. They charge 150k-200k COP (about $50-70) for short time (I've had girls stay with me for 4-5 hours for that price if they are having a good time, not all in the room, go to lunch/dinner, go to a bar, etc)
How's the food? Not a big foodie, so can't comment. But others have said that Colombiam food is bland. Liuke most Latin countries, lots of dishes come with rice.
Where are the girls? Casino, walking around, hotel lobby, night clubs? Forget casino, walking around, hotel lobby (except the Mansion). There are a lot of massage parlors (casa). There is a map posted somewhere in this forum. There are the Mansion girls onsite there. They also can call in girls for you from a big directory that they have. There are a few strip clubs (downtown in Centro are seedier clubs and there are a couple higher end clubs... Fase Dos, San Diego). First timer... forget streetwalkers. They are usually a waste of time anyway.
What's the average price? At the Mansion, the girls charge 150k-200k for short-time. If they quote you more, just say NO GRACIAS! They are trying to scam you. Also, if they mention time, also a red flag. The casas are cheaper. They charge anywhere from like 30k for 30 minutes to 70k for an hour. There are a couple higher end casas that charge more (140k) but the talent is hit or miss, not worth the premium IMO. The centro strip clubs were charging 75k (August last year), don't know what it is now. The higher end strip clubs were charging 180k at the time.
Are overnight stays common? Common? I'd say no, but Toda La Noche (TLN) can be aranged. The Mansion chicas can be had for 200-300k. Again, there will be some that try to gauge and quote 500k. No gracias and move on. Many have kids so TLN may end early (6-7am) so they can go home before the kids notice that they are not home. LOL
What airport do I fly into? Going to Medellin, you will fly into MDE (Jose Maria Cordova International Airport).

Read this account from a forum (didn't happen to me). Be careful out there folks:
Backstory: I have been traveling Latin American for a continuous 8. 5 months now with no problems. I had already spent nearly 88 days in Colombia with zero violent incidents. The previous 13 days or so, I had passed in the south of Cali in an highly secure apartment in Ciudad Jardin. Cali was to be my last port of call in the country with 90 days in total before heading south into Ecuador over land. I was having a tough time in Cali up to this point, only doing day-game approaches with essentially zero lays (after several dates with some very sexy but flaky women). Spent almost 2 weeks in the south of the city doing strictly day game around the University del Valle area and Unicentro and some parts of the north around Centenario Mall, with only a sloppy BJ to show for it all. Which admittedly is still better than nothing.
That being said, I decided to ship in a young sexy 21 why / o Colombiana from Manizales (I had met about 5 weeks prior) for my last weekend in Colombia. I had a few lukewarm prospects for the weekend but decided on the sure things instead. She had been hitting me up lately with, "quiero verte antes de irte. " So I decided to go for the guaranteed lovin and bought her a bus ticket to Cali.
I met her at the Terminal de Transportes around 10 PM on a Friday night as her bus was actually on time. From here we grabbed a quick snack before making our way over to the taxi line. Take note this is the official taxi line. We did not hail a cab from the street which is generally not advisable in Colombia, even though I've done it several times without incident. There was a single dark-skinned Colombian guy (looked black) in front of us in the line with several other middle-class people with luggage behind us. Red flag #1, when it was time for the black guy to get a taxi, I noticed that the next available taxi actually waved off this black guy and pointed to us to come get in instead. The thought that crossed my mind was about a Chris Rock standup routine complaining how hard it is for a black person to get a taxi in NYC, but otherwise didn't think anything of it.
Red flag #2 - I was instructed to put my girls luggage in the front passenger seat. When I closed the door (a bit too firmly, apparently), the taxista started angrily complaining that I slammed it way too hard. He clearly seemed to be agitated for some reason. I apolgized and was like, "tranquilo, tranquilo. " Anyway, I gave him the address to my hotel and didn't think anything more of the situation.
Red flag #3 - about 2-3 minutes after leaving the terminal, the taxista pulled into a natural gas refueling station to fill up the tank. We were instructed to get out of the car while it was being refueled for our own safety. The taxista then disappeared for a few minutes and returned once the refueling was complete, probably 4-5 minutes later.
Ref flag #4 - we get back in the car and the guy is complaining about how expensive it cost to have to refuel his car (50,000 COP) and about how he has already been working 20 hours straight today. I was starting to now get uncomfortable at this guy's negativity but me and my girl just kinda brushed him off and thought it better to ignore him.
We slowly approach my hostel now and it is probably 10:45 PM. My hostel is located on Calle 5 across from the Library. It is quite dark, there isn't much traffic, but I didn't think anything further. The taxista approached my hostel very slowly as he appeared to be looking at the numbers to see where the hotel was. Eventually, I just said, "this is close enough, we will walk 3-4 buildings. Gracias. " We get out of the taxi, my girl gets our on the opposite side toward the driver's side / street and I get out on the opposite side on the sidewalk / passenger side. Pay the man 20 k and get about 9 k change. I have the change now in my left hand and my girl's wheeled suitcase in my right hand. Close the door gently, and the guy pulls away about 20 ft and stops.
As I turn to my right I see a guy on a motorcycle (engine quietly running) wearing all black clothing and immediately notice a semi-automatic pistol in his lap, full face helmet on his head. Immediately I knew we were fucked. Next thing I know I feel a cold hard metal object being repeatedly rammed into my right shoulder blade. I knew it was a gun (#2). I dropped the taxi fare change to the ground, and we both simultaneously put our hands up. Then, I slowly went for my iphone 4 in my left pocket and just held it up. It was snatched up immediately. I look out of the corner of my eye and I see my girl in a hysterical panic. The girl was now being approached by guy on motorbike #1, gun shoved in her face. The guy takes her huge purse and her wheeled suitcase, when a third guy on motorbike pulls up now and scoops up her suitcase. The guy then starts patting her down with one hand while holding her at gunpoint with the other. From here, I still have a gun in my back, and my guy tells me "Cartera, Cartera. " I reach into my right pocket and give him my moneyclip. From here, the guys slowly walk towards their waiting motorbikes while looking back over their shoulders at us.
Then, they just drive off, while occasionally looking back at us. I grab my girl and we immediately run into the front entrance of my hostel. The robbery is over, although she is absolutely hysterical and can barely breathe.
Overall damage: she lost what amounted to easily over $1200 USD in merchandise. For her, this is about a 3 month salary. Two smartphones, lots of nice clothing, her wallet, bank card, 30,000 pesos in cash, makeup, purse, etc. I lost about 150,000 pesos in cash, my travel bank card, my ID, and a beat-up iphone 4.
Lessons learned / advice from this experience:
(1) Whenever possible, always use easytaxi, uber, or a similar app when calling taxis in Colombia. This will ensure that you have the driver's information in the event shit hits the fan. I personally prefer using public transport when possible, but in a city like Cali this isn't really possible.
(2) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver stop en route to your destination. Taxi drivers are specifically prohibited from doing this during a taxi fare. Didn't know this at the time.
(3) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver be on his phone. People in Colombia are generally very wary / paranoid of a taxi driver on their phone because it is easy for them to tip off some waiting robbers.
(4) If your taxi driver seems agitated or in a negative mood at all whatsoever, get the fuck out of the cab and get a new one. There is no reason you should be dealing with a taxi driver with a bad attitude or bad mood.
Final thoughts.
It turns out we firmly believe that we were set up. The whole thing was planned. When we stopped to fill up the tank, we believe that the taxi driver called in the muscle during the time that he disappeared to use the bathroom. Next day, we filed a police report at the police station in the centro of Cali, then I went to the bus station and we watched the video of the registered taxi line. While at the police station telling our story, one of the clerks just shakes her head, let's out a sigh, and says, "Cali es Cali" (Cali is Cali). She seemed disappointed but completely unsurprised. Luckily, our taxi driver's vehicle was on video and we were able to get his plate number. That being said, it is highly unlikely that there will be any sort of justice done on our case. After talking with the police detective, we realized how swamped and understaffed their office seemed to be. We realize and understand that there will probably be no justice in this case, given how inefficient the justice system seems to be in this country. Lesson learned, and I hope at least one person can learn from this too.
Read this account from a forum (didn't happen to me). Be careful out there folks:Ouch, that's a depressing story. But there's a few things that I find hard to believe. First of all, this girl is (as claims the storyteller) bringing $1200 worth of her stuff including TWO smartphones, but the guy had to buy her bus ticket? LOL, I guess at the end of the day, if you want the poontang to come to you, the guy has to pay right? Seriously though, I doubt a girl would carry that much expensive merchandise with her to see some gringo she's hooked up with only once before, and to a city she's never been to, and that's known as being dangerous, plus arriving late at night? But even accounting for some naivete on her part, was she a stupid rich girl?, I'm surprised she didn't smell a trap when the taxista beckoned them in.
The general safety rule in Colombia is you never let a driver choose you, you choose the driver!
That's why flagging down any old taxi on the street isn't always as dangerous as people say it is. Remember, crooked drivers aren't usually roaming up and down the city streets, that's a waste of time and gas for a criminal. The bad guys know where to find the money: the folks queuing up at hotels, clubs, shopping centers, and especially bus terminals and airports, so a "driver" is recruited for a few days or weeks who's in it for just a one-time payoff; then once the driver completes a successful setup, he goes underground for 6-12 months until the heat is off him (there are security cameras that can film these crooked drivers in the bus terminals and airports, as the story mentions).
As for this gringo, he comes off sounding like a complete loser, tries to get with a bunch of girls but ends up with almost no action; then the one sure thing he thinks he's going to get explodes in his face. Bet he didn't have much romance with the chica after the robbery.
Guys: here's a tip when dealing with taxistas. You do need to know how to speak and understand Spanish, LOL! Before even stepping in, talk to him. Ask him a few fake or real questions. Establish eye contact. Get a feel for him, crooked people don't like eye contact when they're getting ready to rob you, it's a guilt thing and a positive ID thing as well. If something doesn't feel right, make any excuse and tell the guy maybe later or something else is coming up. Sometimes, the taxi waiting at the front of the line I'll skip, and take the second or third; if he insists or takes offense, just say there's a specific driver you were waiting for.
As a final note, being a crooked driver is a nerve-wracking business, if you think about what's involved. Plus, if the robbery goes wrong in a crazy way, he could end up being killed too, ha ha, so edgy drivers are definitely a HUGE warning sign.

Checked this place out today. Not the best ambiance. Shitty lighting. Decent massage. Got whacked off by a girl with a really pretty face. Couldn't understand her name. Dalia?
Anyways, thought I would mention it was 60 k cop for definitely less than an hour and I gave her 20 k cop propina as she was so pretty and gave me light kisses, which sent tingles down the spine.
That price is different than what it is on the Medellin list massage section so maybe it can be updated.

What most likely happened was that a bunch of thirsty dudes rushed her pages with friend requests and blew up her inbox asking "how much?" after you posted the links to her info (why would you do that to begin with, LOL?)
The sudden "surge" of traffic to her page probably tipped her off that some gringo posted her info to a gringo sex board and she shut them (her pages) down.
This is why I don't share chica info and details. The one thing you can ALWAYS count on is Westerners fucking up a good thing.
Be in MDE next week a few days (5) would a day trip to Bogota be recommended? Or split the stay 50/50 Mde / Bog? Any input appreciated.Day trips in general are a waste of time. If you have plenty of time to waste they are fine-- but 5 days IMHO is way too short of time to jam in an excursion.
Some people like to be busy. Personally I hate the packing / unpacking, checking in-out of hotels / apartments, arranging taxi to / from airports. If you only have 5 days you will be spending 1/2 your time coming and going. Relax-- there is more than enough for you to enjoy in Medellin. If you are asking this type of question I suspect you do not have Medellin mastered. Go to BOG next time.

Hello all,
Brand new member to this forum and firstly want to say this forum is fantastic. A lot of helpful information and insight. It's quite hard to find actual reviews on places like The M Hotel (Mansion) but eventually found one. Seems to be the recommended place to stay what with all the WGs that turn up during the day by the pool. What I wanted to know from you all is:
Is there a list of 'visitor friendly' hotels at all? I want to explore all my options accommodation wise as it will be my first time in Colombia (week in Medellin and a week in Cartagena).
Aside from Mansion, are there other hotel bars or pools that have large group of WGs hanging out during the day?
As I'll be travelling by myself, I'm open to meeting up with seasoned pros. Will ask again in Jan.

Be in MDE next week a few days (5) would a day trip to Bogota be recommended? Or split the stay 50/50 Mde / Bog? Any input appreciated.To me 5 days is an eternity. Especially when you are somewhere like Medellin. I would recommend either the day trip or split the stay. It does not take days on end to sightsee, and since you are already in Colombia you might as well check it out. If you get there early enough you should be able to fit the 3 biggest attractions in. Go up Monserat, Cathedral of Salt (which is actually out of town) then get back to the city and go to the Gold Museum. I did 4 cities in Vietnam in 10 days, so I am sure it will be easy to cover both Medellin and Bogota in 5 days.
Actually, me, my dad, and my brother did both in 4 days last August. We arrived in Bogota at night and hung out in Santa Fe. The next morning we went to Medellin, hit casas, and set up the Escobar tour. That night the strip clubs and De Greiff. The next day the Escobar tour, lunch in Parque Lleras, more casas. Fase 2 that night. Next morning back to Bogota to see Monserat and the Gold Museum, and that night back on the plane to the States.

Or are you implying that Jake couldn't find the casas without a map. Jajaja.Yeah, that's a good one the truth is I've been giving tours here for almost 7 years, and several maps have been around just as long! To someone who is new to town to deal with looking around for addresses, and who or what's going around them is just not much fun! Its more fun to go with a guide / buddy and not have to constantly think about where's the next place, rather than just thinking about the sites and sex! The other advantage is I know which casas to avoid because there dirty or bad service. It's just more fun with me or Eric! We have some great massage girls some with happy endings and some just strictly massage depending on what you want. The jacuzzi is hot and we like to keep you busy with massage or tours and of course dates at night so take a look on the Colombia Jake website and see the new place!
Thanks, Colombia Jake.
Hello all,
Brand new member to this forum and firstly want to say this forum is fantastic. A lot of helpful information and insight. It's quite hard to find actual reviews on places like The M Hotel (Mansion) but eventually found one. Seems to be the recommended place to stay what with all the WGs that turn up during the day by the pool. What I wanted to know from you all is:
Is there a list of 'visitor friendly' hotels at all? I want to explore all my options accommodation wise as it will be my first time in Colombia (week in Medellin and a week in Cartagena).I don't recall ever seeing a list. I understand there are hotels that are chica-friendly, but with a surcharge, some large. I have always stayed in an apartment.
Aside from Mansion, are there other hotel bars or pools that have large group of WGs hanging out during the day?In Medellin, no, as in NONE! I have never visited Cartagena.

I heard that you are using my map for your casa tour and charging the gringos a fee.
Yeah, that's a good one the truth is I've been giving tours here for almost 7 years, and several maps have been around just as long!

First time staying here last night stayed in M2-203, it's a short hike from M1, m2 is quiet outside of you can hear every door shut in building smh LOL. I guess good place for newbies but if you can find a chica friendly hotel it's too many options to pay the Mansion IMO. But each his own MDE due to low cost, better looking women and more options Mde is at the top of my list over places I've been for mongering over Sosua, Santo Domingo, San Jose / Jaco.
Thanks for this post. Useful info. Question: have you stayed with Colombia Jake before? If you have, for a newbie like myself, which is more suitable? I am swaying toward Mansion only because they invite a lot of girls to hang out at the pool which sounds really good.I have never stayed with Jake. I never needed that much hand holding. I already spoke decent Spanish on my first trip but didn't have any contacts so I stayed at the Mansion. The place is overpriced (rooms, drinks, etc) but there's no other place like it unfortunately.
Go back pages and read about Jake's place and his girls to get an idea.

Hi,
Not a first time poster. I just changed my name on here due to log in reasons. I was here last year and did post in both Bogota and Medellin threads. My question is what escort agency or casa would be the best for a 3 some with 2 paisas. Will be down in MDE in about 10 days.
Thanks

Chose 22 yo Carla yesterday. Long black probably fake hair. Big old booty. Decent face and bags. Actually bags were better than decent. They were above average. Did my usual at new life: CBJ then doggystyle. She wouldn't arch her back in doggy as she said it was too painful. Pretty decent overall. Will not repeat though.
Of course she asked for propina. My usual response, que es propina? Got to have that something extra for a propina in my opinion. Reminds me of the scene in reservoir dogs. Anyways, try her once if you like the big booty, but warning, she don't arch the back.

What was the pool like during the day at M1: was there many girls hanging out for you to choose from? Liking the idea of hanging out with WGs throughout the day and taking them back. I'm planning on visiting Medellin next Feb and still undecided as to where to stay. Want to see as many WGs as possible but wondering if I am better off staying in a nicer hotel and relying on the various casas and Internet for women. It's been confirmed that no other hotel allow WGs to hang out in their hotel pool area.

I was lodged at that accommodation for nine nights in October 2015 and encountered no problems. You can read my report of my stay on TripAdvisor at:
https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g297478-d2677042-r326385386-Sites-Medellin_Antioquia_Department.html
In case that link doesn't work, look for a review titled "Excelente (Excellent) for Medellin!" on the Sites page on TripAdvisor.
To any Medellin newbies and lurkers monitoring this thread and thinking about visiting Medellin, remember: you don't need to stay at Mansion or use the services of ColombiaJake to have a great time in Medellin (no disrespect to either of those institutions). Yes, many people have had great trips to Medellin staying at Mansion and hanging out with Jake, but again, you don't need those institutions to have fun in Medellin. Just do the proper research on this thread and on TripAdvisor and you'll have a great time.
One final thing: when I wrote my review of Sites last November on TripAdvisor, I received criticism from some ISG members that me mentioning that Sites is "chica friendly" would cause financial harm / ruin for that hotel. When I wrote my review, Sites was ranked #12 of 97 hotels in Medellin on TripAdvisor. Today, it's ranked #8 of 97. Nice to see that a clean, safe, conveniently-located, chica-friendly hotel continues to do well months after my stay.
Happy mongering!

They can help you with money exchange, getting a cell phone, etc. They show you around the casas. I spent my first 3 days in Medellin at the Mansion, then moved to an apartment. I'm glad I did it that way. They also throw killer parties during major American Holidays. Super Bowl at the Mansion is awesome.

Happy mongering!I think apartments are much superior to hotels. You get a larger space, a kitchen, balcony, laundry etc. Also, the chicas feel much more comfortable hanging out in a private apartment vs a hotel.
To me 5 days is an eternity. Especially when you are somewhere like Medellin. I would recommend either the day trip or split the stay. It does not take days on end to sightsee, and since you are already in Colombia you might as well check it out. If you get there early enough you should be able to fit the 3 biggest attractions in. Go up Monserat, Cathedral of Salt (which is actually out of town) then get back to the city and go to the Gold Museum. I did 4 cities in Vietnam in 10 days, so I am sure it will be easy to cover both Medellin and Bogota in 5 days.
Actually, me, my dad, and my brother did both in 4 days last August. We arrived in Bogota at night and hung out in Santa Fe. The next morning we went to Medellin, hit casas, and set up the Escobar tour. That night the strip clubs and De Greiff. The next day the Escobar tour, lunch in Parque Lleras, more casas. Fase 2 that night. Next morning back to Bogota to see Monserat and the Gold Museum, and that night back on the plane to the States.Just a warning if you take the Pablo Escobar tour with Paisa Road the tour guide Paula has a very negative personality. You can read the reviews for yourself on trip advisor about her. She really put a damper on the tour instead of just explaining the history and showing the sights. If there is another tour I would definitely try to use someone else.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I'm planning to spend two or three weeks in Colombia. What I might do is stay in Mansion for the first few days. Then fly out to Cartagena for a week or so. Fly back to Medellin and stay at a hotel or apartment that's chica friendly. That way I get to know the area and hopefully have a few girls I can call upon.
As I'm not a senior member yet, is there a chance a senior member can start a new thread called chica friendly accommodation please? I think it would be really useful for us newbies to see names of chica friendly hotels and apartments.
Thanks

I think apartments are much superior to hotels.

This time I finally am taking the next plunge and making my first mongering trip to Colombia. Just bought my ticket to MDE for September. Being a first timer I decided that the first two nights would be at the Mansion then several days in Santa Marta and finishing uo again in MDE where I plan to get an apartment I assume through Airbnb. They seem to have some great properties at decent prices. If anyone has any specific apartments that they could recommend that would be great.
Since I am a first timer to MDE and, an older one at that, I'm not looking for any trouble. That brings up a couple of questions.
1. Are the taxis at the airport safe? I will be arriving kind of late at night and although I have a couple of offers from amigas to meet me at the airport, I plan to do some "shopping" before I connect with anyone. Would it be better to take up the transportation offered through the Mansion? If so is there much of a premium for this service? (I guess I could ask tomorrow when I'm making my reservation.
2. While I have two amigas that I met previously in SXM that I likely will be with some of the time while in Colombia I do want to explore a few of the strip clubs on my own. Again, are the taxis getting you there and returning later in the evening reasonably reliable or is a major risk to try to get a taxi from in front of a club?
I've RTFF so I think a lot of my other questions have been answered but if anyone has anything they can add, please let me know.

No complaints but no one was using the pool I guess wasn't hot enough the girls just hang around there till evening then migrate to the bar downstairs. It wasn't that many to choose from but I stayed at the M Sunday (m2) and Monday (m1) I imagine weekends it's plenty more to choose from. But I visited new life etc so the lack of options didn't bother me. But some guys I met said they never left the M so it's your preference I'm not a vet but I do believe it's the only hotel to offer the luxury.

Barkey.Taxis from the airport are pretty safe. But I'd just use the Mansion's pick-up service. It's nice to have someone waiting for you at the airport on your first visit. It's not a significant difference in cost. Also, they may be picking up another guest at the same time, which would be nice as you can share info with the other guest during the ride. And of course split the cost, making it less than catching your own taxi.
IMO, taxis in MDE are safer than in lots of places in S. America. However, for peace of mind, there is something you can do to ensure safety. When you get in the taxi, take a picture of the driver's registration displayed on the dash. Then send the photo to someone who knows where you are (or just send it to yourself). And make sure the driver knows what you're doing and why. Tell him you always do this for your own safety. He shouldn't be offended.

Again, are the taxis getting you there and returning later in the evening reasonably reliable or is a major risk to try to get a taxi from in front of a club 1) AIRPORT- My guess the Mansion private driver meeting you at the airport with signage will run about 80,000 cop compared with 60,000 cop you will probably pay grabbing a waiting taxi outside the door. To me a 20,000 ($7 usd) difference is not enough to risk a scam, ripoff or robbery. I have always felt the airport arrival is my most vulnerable time in in trip. I have with me ALL my cash, credit cards and belongings. I am always extra cautious on arrival and for a night time arrival I would suggest spending the $$ and get you ass safely and quickly to the Mansion. (for morning arrivals I have often taken the bus to San Diego and picked up a taxi from there to Mansion) - The added benefit is that the sooner you are at the Mansion the more likely you will not miss a Cueva oportunity that may not be there if you dilly dally.
2) STRIPCLUBS-- Late night strip clubbing is a different matter. If you are street smart, Spanish speaking, sober, in a group or with a buddy-- Probably no problems. If on the other hand you like to get drunk, obnoxious and are flying solo- Well you will be targeted by all the scumbags that migrate to stripclubs to look for easy pickings. Stripclubs everywhere on this planet have taxis sitting outside waiting for the next sucker to hop in. Medellin is no different. In general MDE taxis are honest, but if you were to look for problem a strip club parking lot is where you probably find one. ME-- I would use easy taxi or hop in a taxi dropping off a fare rather than take a taxi sitting there waiting.
Good luck, have fun and stay safe.

Good luck, have fun and stay safe.I just made reservations for airport P / you with the mansion and it is 75 K. I recommend this, as lots of taxis have a hard time finding the mansion, even with the address. As far as taxis in the city, use easy taxi if you can, or look for the yellow taxis with meters. Great advice after getting out of the strip club. I noticed when we were at "The girls" formerly LaIsla, they tried to make us take their taxis sitting there that were white and had their name on the side. We refused and waited for a yellow taxi drop off. Pissed them off, but it's our choice.
Mansion is doing the same in effect.Greg used to post directly on this site years ago and the Mansion gets a lot of free press given that they've been around for years and a lot of the forum member posts their experiences their which is fine. I've been on a lot of the other boards on this Site in Asia, etc. And have yet to see someone posting / advertising their business establishment like is being done on this Forum.
Thanks guys for your input on the taxis and taxi safety.
I did go ahead and book the Mansion's service too. It just makes things a lot simpler. The 75 K cost is correct and for just a bit more than a regular taxi to me it just makes sense.
Barkey.
What time do the 2 centro strip clubs open?
I will probably try to get there about 30-60 minutes after they open. I'm not big on staying out till 4-5 am anymore.

But club connejita has some decent line up even 6-7 pm, but barra executivo is slow before 9 pm.I concur that Conejitos had a great lineup each time I went. I think I went three nights in a row, all after 9 pm. It got exponentially more crowded as time passed. I noticed though that very few guys were actually taking the plunge. I had lots of money to spend but decided to only grab one girl each night so as not to draw attention from the other unsavory guys in the club. I asked each girl if they would come to my hotel the next day, but only one took the offer, though I didn't end up calling her. Again, centro is really shady after dark! Be safe!

Arrived at the airport last night after 10 pm, went outside and the buses to El Centro were right there. The fare is now 9000, posted on a windshield decal. Got dropped off at the final stop behind Nutibara. I checked in my hotel, freshened up, then made my way to Barra Ejecutiva. Lots of customers on a Friday night, but the problem was, there weren't enough chicks. The ones that were there, weren't too impressive either. The strippers on stage were doing something weird with shaving cream, spraying and smearing all over their body, and were rubbing it into the tipping guys' heads.
So I moved over to Club Maracaibo Show. Not as many customers there, girls-to-guys ratio was much better. Chatted up a 22 year old, negotiated 85000 for half hour, room, and BBBJ. When I pulled out my money, turned out I only 70000 in my pocket. She said ok let's go. Had an ok session, afterwards she kept pitching me to take her back to my hotel room, 100000 to stay from 2 am to 5 am. I wasn't feeling it so declined. I was hungry so walked around De Grieff and had a bowl of soup from a street vendor. Lots of police on foot patrol, road crew digging and stuff, I didn't feel unsafe at all. Yes the homeless and druggies were spaced out or spread out on the sidewalk, but, not my problem.
This afternoon went to chicas punto com. I didn't like any of the girls in the line-up. Walked one flight up to the other place. Picked a girl named Luna. Paid mama 40000. Very pretty face but loose baby belly. All rooms were taken so they put us in their "locker room" (yes the girls' lockers were in there) -- which has no bed, only sofa chairs and sheets on the damn floor! Fucked her on the chair, just like I do in the VIP room in my favorite hood strip club back home. Then we moved on to the fucking polished concrete floor. She put up a good fight and I busted before I could damage my kneecaps doing missionary on concrete.
Walked by Plaza Botero afterwards and there was some sort of free Hindu concert. Walked the 2, 3 blocks around checking out the street girls. No thanks. My verdict so far on Medellin? Take me back to Bogota. The number of girls at the strip clubs and the street vibe of Santa Fe just can't be beat. I'm sort of underwhelmed by the supposedly legendary paisa beauty. Have all the good looking ones gone to work in Bogota? I'll hit up the Conejitas and the other two strip clubs again tonight, and more casas tomorrow. See if that'll change my impression.
Well since there are more than 2 downtown strip clubs, which 2 are you referring to? The doorman at Conejita's said they open at 2. But open and good time to be there are two different things.Sorry, I meant the 2 clubs that are next to each other. I believe there used to be 3 on the same block, but one closed down? Executivo, Maracaibo, and Las Americas (closed?) or am I mistaken?
Thanks for the info.

Great report Parkinsons. As far as the beauty is concerned you have to remember that you were at the casas and strip clubs where the girls are not really dolled up. But check out Parque Lleras tonight where the nonpros are if you want to witness the Paisa beauty that everyone speaks of. As far as comparing to Santa Fe, for me it is 6 in one hand and half dozen in the other. Depends on whether I have a taste for hot dogs or hamburgers that day. I do like my 30K hotel in Medellin better than my 45K hotel close to Santa Fe though. I'm in the process of looking for a better place to stay in the Santa Fe area. And I am sure that you could have gotten that Maracaibo chick for 60K. It is a bit cooler inside of Maracaibo too whereas it is usually hot as hell up in BE.
Arrived at the airport last night after 10 pm, went outside and the buses to El Centro were right there. The fare is now 9000, posted on a windshield decal. Got dropped off at the final stop behind Nutibara.
I am thinking about taking this bus when I arrive as well. Can you or anyone tell me if the bus was direct from the airport to Centro or were there any stops in between. How long vs a taxi. I've been around the Hotel Nutibarra area in the day but never at night any worries with luggage in hand.
Thanks.

Got dropped off at the final stop behind Nutibara. I checked in my hotel, freshened up, then made my way to Barra Ejecutiva. Lots of customers on a Friday night, but the problem was, there weren't enough chicks. The ones that were there, weren't too impressive either. The strippers on stage were doing something weird with shaving cream, spraying and smearing all over their body, and were rubbing it into the tipping guys' heads.
So I moved over to Club Maracaibo Show. Not as many customers there, girls-to-guys ratio was much better. Chatted up a 22 year old, negotiated 85000 for half hour, room, and BBBJ. When I pulled out my money, turned out I only 70000 in my pocket. She said ok let's go. Had an ok session, afterwards she kept pitching me to take her back to my hotel room, 100000 to stay from 2 am to 5 am. I wasn't feeling it so declined. I was hungry so walked around De Grieff and had a bowl of soup from a street vendor. Lots of police on foot patrol, road crew digging and stuff, I didn't feel unsafe at all..Parkinson,
I'm here now with a few buds myself. Can you post the address to chicaspuntocom? Taxi drivers give us a shrug every time we ask if they know the place. Last night we hit Parque Lleras but it was pouring out so all the Paisas were scattered about. My friend picked up a hot 19 yo and brought her back for 200 k w / BBBJ. But in the end he said she was not in to anything much but the bang. Hot, but a yawner. Fase II in El Problado is great and was jumping w / girls. My other friend picked up a blonde for 150 k total w / room, no BBBJ though. Its Sunday now and we're thinking of what options are out there today. Parque Lleras will naturally be the option tonight but want a better deal than 150-200 k range. Where are all the local deals guys? The 60-100 k range? I want the most bang / quality for the buck since I'm the deal hunter of the group No, not cheap, just love getting over compared with the average gringo. Oh, and I picked up several chicks off colombiacupid before arriving. Hit one the first night for 150 k and she was simply amazing- deep kissing, 69, BBBJ. Just perfect for my first experience here. I recommend it to mongers before heading down. Its like $30 for the month but watch their automatic renewals (I only paid for one month then cancelled). I "spammed" a bunch of chicks about my travel here and got plenty of responses. Once they responded I told them exactly what I was seeking. Many ignored me since its a "relationship" site but a few took me on. I have 2 other dates lined up from the site, plus seeing the first one again before we leave. So far I would say Medellin is amazing. Its generally safe, people are pleasant and helpful, food is fantastic, everything far cheaper compared to "back home. " Weather has been overcast so sun soaking has been elusive but great weather otherwise.

But check out Parque Lleras tonight where the nonpros are if you want to witness the Paisa beauty that everyone speaks of. Yes somebody did write about the discrepancy in hotness between the civilian chicks and the working girls. Perhaps I'll make a trip to Parque Lleras and find out tonight. Right now, I'm at the Acevedo metro station waiting to take the J line cable cars up to Santo Domingo. The line stretches the whole way down the entire platform. Damn!
Pic is some guy getting busted by the cops last night in El Centro. I couldn't take a photo of his face, dude got it bashed and blood was pouring out of his nose.

The north route directly takes you to Centro while the southern route stops at San Diego first and ends at Centro. The both routes take around 45-50 minutes, 15-20 minutes longer than taxi ride. The area behind Nutibara Hotel is unsafe in the night. I have no idea why They keep bus station there. Colombians do not think that much.
Arrived at the airport last night after 10 pm, went outside and the buses to El Centro were right there. The fare is now 9000, posted on a windshield decal. Got dropped off at the final stop behind Nutibara.

Thanks.Anyone on the bus can ask to be dropped off anywhere on the route. The last time I rode that bus, we left the airport with almost a full load. When the bus arrived at the Nutibara, I was the only passenger. The bus does not have any scheduled stops. If you arrive in Centro at night, stay at the area where the bus stops. There should be taxis there, or pass by often.

"Not much into anything except banging" -- isn't that what all guys want LOL??
Good luck organizing and have everyone going along with your plan.
As far as MDE vs Bogota, is it relevant that Bogota is about 3 times as big? It probably has a much larger red-light district and a larger group of hot women to pick from.
Also, Centro (MDE) doesn't generally have the hottest-looking Paisas (though gems can certainly be found).
FWIW, I've never been to Bogota. As another poster noted, little interest in vacationing somewhere where I need to wear a jacket. But, with a metro area of over 10 million, I'm sure there's incredible talent to choose from.

Nice post. Those places you are visiting such as puntocom, Maracaibo, conejitas, degriff, are the lower end joints were you often find the poor Barrio girls and are not not always the best places to get the best representation of paysa beauty. If you are goin to stay in el centro try also new life, zandalay, Paris, coffee shop, and club last Amigas sexy and the higher end Casas such as energy in Laureles and Loutron, go to Parque Lleras in Poblado and also club face II. Take the metro train and visit las avenida 70 in Laureles and other areas and also take the metro cable. That way you'll get a pretty good sampling of paysa beauty. Keep enjoying Medellin.

Last night went to Ejecutiva, pulled a big butt morena. Negotiated 70000 incl BBBJ. The secret passage ways these places construct to go up to their fuck rooms are crazy! Going through the men's bathroom!? Does anyone know why this "speak easy" design came into being? Well, this girl can fuck! We got a winner here. She suggested coming to my hotel for TLN for 150000. I agreed but after she talked to management, told me I'd have to pay a multa. I told her I would go check out other places then come back to get her at 3:30 am when they close. So I walked to Conejitas, the talent level was average. I did see a real classy girl that looks like a paisa version of Olivia Wilde. She was fully dressed and the whole time I was there, kept to one table with a group so I didn't know if she was actually working or not. Stayed there for a while then went to the other basement bar on the same block. This place was pitiful. Only 4 girls were there. Strolled back over to Maracaibo, now there were some real lookers here. By then they were about to close and this hot chick I was chatting with said we could go to Casa Blanca and for un rato will cost me 100000. She said this is the after hours place a lot of girls were going there. (I also asked my morena about Casa Blanca, she said she heard people talk about it but has never been there.) Does anyone know what that is? It's not some place around the corner, you'd have to take taxi.
Spent a real good TLN with the girl from Ejecutiva. She didn't leave my hotel room until 10 in the morning. Turned out she lives close by in Prado. Well I promised you guys so I did it. I walked a hooker back to her home, holding hands even, how romantic! Passed by a pet store, they had rabbits crammed in one cage, but roosters get their own individual units. Girl told me those are for cock-fighting.
In the afternoon, I first went to New Life, there were only 2 in the line-up. One looked to be 40 years old, she kept herself nicely but still. The other one is average. I didn't feel like sitting around to wait, so I went to Coffee shop. They weren't open. Walked north on the same street to Dulce Compania. Only 3 very average girls in the line-up. Walked north a few doors to Paisa Relax, only 2 working but I really like the one with deep dimples when she smiled at me so I chose her. Blonde hair blue eyed chick with Lilly white skin, just a tad bit belly fat. Had a good session so I asked her to come to my hotel later, 100000 for 3 hours. Right after I left she immediately hit me up on whatsapp, I told her where I'm staying and -- 20 minutes later she was like, hey come downstairs I'm outside. It's Sunday the place closed early and she rode right over on her own moped! I was like mi amor can you come later? I was thinking I just fucked, no way I could reload quick enough to get my money's worth. And sorry, we are not doing romantic non-fucking shit when she's on the clock! Sadly I turned her away.

That sounds more like it; not this 300K+ ST for some chick they were set up with people have been on here talking about.
I don't know what is up with the speak easy set up. One time I was in Conejita's and they had a normal door that you go into to get upstairs. The next time I was there they had built a midget sized door behind the bar that you go through.
I'm not a newbie sucker that would be dumb enough to pay 250K for 90 minutes on a regular basis. But I saw a chica that I want to bang on my upcoming trip on one of the websites. Though I'm thinking that there's a good chance that the pics are either touched up or totally fake. But in any case. I'm thinking about booking her and if it's the real deal, and she's good, to book her again direct for half that. Has anybody tried it?

Parkinsons,
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that hold hands and spend time romancing hookers. It reminded me one night in cabaret the DR dining with a young Italian monger I met and two hookers at a random beach restaurant, looking at the ocean, great food and wine, nice live romantic music, candles everywhere. The girls were giggling all the time and taking pictures with us as if if it was a real honeymoon. That short moment was priceless and Felt better than the honeymoon with my ex. I was thinking back them this is so fucked up, but also fun LOL. Keep having fun romancing the hookers or paisas LOL. I can't wait to go to Medellin. Are you still disappointed at the paisa beauty?
Cerebro.

Thanks.I've taken the bus between the airport and Nutibara several times. There was a brief drop-off but not lots of stops. In effect, it's a direct run. It's longer than a taxi but a comfortable ride and a good vehicle. I don't usually travel with vast amounts of luggage but arriving at night I walk pretty quickly from the bus stop round to the front of Nutibara. A lot of people get off the bus at the same time so it's not as if the street is empty. Just stay alert. I avoid the back of the Nutibara if I can, especially after midnight, but I'd use the bus again unless I had a reason not to. The only slight problem I had was once during the day when it got stuck in traffic not far from the Nutibara. I got off and walked but getting through crowds with any luggage is a hassle. Since then (especially looking at the prices local airlines charge for checked-in luggage, and the ease of travelling anywhere with just a backpack, the backpack is my first choice. In crowds, I wear it on the front and on cheap buses it goes on my lap.) Hope that helps.
By the way, if you arrive late at night the Nutibara is not bad at all. The quality of rooms varies so if I haven't liked the one offered I've asked for a different one until I get a good room. Then if I'm moving, I have all morning to look at other places without carrying luggage around. I've got better rooms that way in most places as I haven't committed myself in advance (obviously this doesn't work with places that sell out though.).

I've got better rooms that way in most places as I haven't committed myself in advance (obviously this doesn't work with places that sell out though.).I operate the same way. I booked Nutibara for one night at first, because it was so close to the bus stop I could just do a 40 yard dash and not get mugged LOL. They put me on the top floor with a walk out rooftop terrace, it was so nice I had no need to find another hotel for the rest of my trip. Plus Nutibara turned out to be a great base of operation. It was smack dab in the middle of the strip clubs I was doing my late night runs with ease. Pic is the view I had at night. The hookers who came over liked it too. It was just so romantic taking them out on the terrace, looking over El Centro while fondling them. The room came out to about US $40 per night, the first time I brought a working girl back the front desk was telling me I had to pay extra. I told him no, I have a reservation for 2. He gave me some bullshit about I'm a foreigner and she's Colombian, so that's be 10200 extra (what an odd number.) I reluctantly agreed without further argument, because it was only like US $3. The second girl I brought in, he gave me the same BS. But at the end when I checked out, he forgot to add the fee in.
Parkinsons,
Keep having fun romancing the hookers or paisas LOL. I can't wait to go to Medellin. Are you still disappointed at the paisa beauty?
Cerebro.As I stayed longer, I did see more hot women out and about. Just to be clear, when I initially made the comparison to Bogota, I was making reference to the working girls in Santa Fe. The hot ones I saw at Fiebre Sex, almost all of them told me they're paisas. That's why I was like, damn did they all moved from Medellin to work in Bogota?
Anyhow, the club I found to have the greatest number of hot chicks was Maracaibo. I didn't make my way to Parque Lleras but I see what you and Mr. E were saying. Wealthier women may be prettier. Last night at Hotel Nutibara, there were a whole bunch of people just checked in. They are all middle class well to do couples. The women of the younger couples were smoking hot. I asked were they celebrating a wedding or something, one of them told me no, it was a church marriage conference or couples' retreat something like that. Damn girl while your husband is sneaking out to Ejecutiva, let me keep you entertained!

Thanks for your comments. I'm guessing that Mansion seems to be the best place to stay for newbie.No, we offer more options and tours for the newbies here at ColombiaJakes!
Mansion is doing the same in effect.Most definitely they use surrogates to tout their business no different than Donald Trump!
Greg used to post directly on this site years ago and the Mansion gets a lot of free press given that they've been around for years and a lot of the forum member posts their experiences their which is fine. I've been on a lot of the other boards on this Site in Asia, etc. And have yet to see someone posting / advertising their business establishment like is being done on this Forum.They don't do it directly through Greg anymore because of this kind of push back, so they do it through surrogates or under fake screen names but its being done! You actually think the over and over mentions of the mansion are random customers? Please! We've been around for a long time as well and nobody offers are our unique services which in our opinion are more fun then just getting a nut with some throw away!

A few quick thoughts before I post a detailed TR.
Medellin is awesome. I will definitely be back. Stayed at the M2, never again. The hill sucks & I just had both knees scoped so it was quite a struggle going up. I'll be back but only if the M1 has space.
-1) The Mansion is awesome! I don't know how anyone could ever complain about this place. Robert & Boyd were as good a host as could be asked for. This was my first trip so it fit perfectly.
-2) The 7/4 Pool Party was an adventure in itself, I will be back next year. At the M1!
-3) I've heard people on here complaining about the price of the Mansion girls. Really? 150,000 COP= $52.81 or less if you use a Schwab card at the ATM as their rate is better. $52 to hook up with a model quality chica that wouldn't give you the time of day back here in the P#why Prison. Hard for me to believe anyone can complain about that!
-4) Some guys are willing to pay $75 to be set up with the GFE. Again. Really? You're going to pay somebody to have them tell a chica to treat this guy like he is your BF because he's paying me $75? You can get that 10 X over at The Mansion, hook up, spend time, bring them out for dinner, whatever and pay the chica the same amount without having to go thru a chica broker. And you can choose from several girls. I just don't get it!!
-5) While I met some really cool guys at the M, there are always a goofball in the crowd. One was complaining about not finding any skinny girls at the M, on the street or in the strip clubs. Un-fricking-believable!! Another, a stunt double for Millhouse on the Simpsons, was so proud of himself, his Spanish speaking ability & the fact that he was retiring next year it was nauseating to listen to him talk for more than 5 min much less continue to talk to him after meeting him. Within 3 minutes of meeting him at breakfast one morning he told me 2 X that he was fluent in Spanish, 3 X that he was retiring next year & he even had the huevos to brag about himself to someone he just met & say "I'm a Professor and I'm good at it!" Half the guys on this board could go take a test & be a "Professor' tomorrow! I heard him speaking to a cab one afternoon & I swear, Peggy Hill speaks as well as a local native speaker compared to his cartoon Spanish. I truly feel sorry for the guy!
-6) why'all can have my share of the casa girls. The girls aren't bad, I just find the casas disgusting. I'll pay for the Mansion (dare I say GF? Experience. I am not a germophobe but do you really think those sheets are washed between pops? I doubt I'll ever be back!
-7) why'all can have my share of Mayorista. That place is a f at *ng access pool. I went Fri pm with Jim Dandy & Galan55 & another ISG guy. I wasn't drunk so I was very aware of my surroundings. There were so many groups of locals that were simply casing the crowd. Several times I noticed local guys eyeballing us (not simply people watching) & as soon as I made eye contact with them they quickly turned their heads. Not a nice place. Only saw 2 spinners worth hitting that none of us pulled. Probably never again!
Anyway, I'm one of the CR (6 years & 15 trips) converts several people on here were complaining about so hammer away if you must. I'll be back & there will still be plenty of chicas to go around.
A more detailed report is on the way.

You bringing Trump into the mix now? You getting your feelings hurt cause you won't be getting a free cellphone if he wins? Why bring USA Politics into this board? Most guys are here because they are tired of all that BS. Post that Liberal BS somewhere else!

Just got back from SJO where I really liked the availability, cost and relative safety of Uber. Fares where cheap and went right on my credit card. From the airport cost was about 1/3 of taxis. Even put a girl in an Uber to send her home which again was a significant savings on what she wanted for 'taxi'. I know they have something called Easy Taxi in MDE is Uber available there as well? I like not having to fumble for cash and that the app interface is in English. Would rock if you could use it for airport tranfer into town.

07-05-16, 22:08
Yes Uber is available in Colombia. You have to be careful with airport use though because in Bogota I know there was a surcharge and I would have come out better in a regular taxi. Uber in Medellin works fine. I have used it several times.
Hi,
I have a question regarding Uber. I currently don't use Uber but I will need to use it in Medellin. I know when you register you have to put in a phone number which is usually the number from your country. If I signed up before hand and use a prepaid number will there be any issues when I switch to a Colombian carrier sim card and update my Uber phone in the profile so it shows a Colombian number. I've read there sight and did some google searches but couldn't get a clear answer. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
I am so glad I made all those visits to Medellin over the past ten years before Medellin's rise in popularity. The World Travel Awards Latin America 2016 named Medellin the best city break destination. In 2013 it was named the most innovative city in the world in 2013 by the Urban Land Institute for its strides in politics, education and social development.

El Mechanico,
Essentially speaks for me regarding the Mansion. I love the ease of it, and while I never stayed at M2, it doesn't appeal to me. I like the ability to poke my head out at the pool at (say) 3 pm and see what chicks are around and available to pull up to my room. Or to wander upstairs for a bit if La Cueva is a bit slow in the evening. The only problem, though, is it seems you need to plan many months (4? 6?) in advance to get a room at M1 over a weekend. I wish you could see online what is available when, rather than having to email back and forth. Makes planning more cumbersome. Or am I missing an easier way to know what rooms are available?

Thank you for the interesting and intelligent writing. Post on your own thread.No and since when do you have to be on the Harvard debate team to talk smack about banging chicks and blowing loads!
My first trip was this past weekend & every option or tour possible was gift wrapped & spoon fed to me all in one place. At the Mansion. And I didn't have to pay the owners $75 more to get it.
You bringing Trump into the mix now? You getting your feelings hurt cause you won't be getting a free cellphone if he wins? Why bring USA Politics into this board? Most guys are here because they are tired of all that BS. Post that Liberal BS somewhere else!
El MechanicoI happen to like Trump, and I'm not bringing politics in to anything, just pointing out that surrogates are used here on this board, just like both campaigns do. Of course I'm not going away! The product is too good! Take a look at the Colombia Jake site! Fun trip to parapente today with a nice guy here for the first time taking dates every night.

El Mechanico,
Essentially speaks for me regarding the Mansion. I love the ease of it, and while I never stayed at M2, it doesn't appeal to me. I like the ability to poke my head out at the pool at (say) 3 pm and see what chicks are around and available to pull up to my room. Or to wander upstairs for a bit if La Cueva is a bit slow in the evening. The only problem, though, is it seems you need to plan many months (4? 6?) in advance to get a room at M1 over a weekend. I wish you could see online what is available when, rather than having to email back and forth. Makes planning more cumbersome. Or am I missing an easier way to know what rooms are available?I've been to Medellin once and stayed at the Mansion and I too found it to great as you both said. To see what rooms are available and what dates, it's easier if you call them on their US # 1-312-546-4301, then use email back & forth to book. I'm making a return trip next week and staying at M1. I was at M2 my first trip & that hill kicked my ass, so I took taxis after a couple days.
First off, for the fanboys of this place I don't really care what you think. I am though going to share my experience. Picked a girl named Daniela that was cute to my eyes in the dim lighting. Problem is she had obvious mental health issues. First she starts getting aggressive at the fact that I brought my own condom, a first. Hostile in fact shaking her finger in my face. And I thought wrongly that maybe we could get past it. I mean they collect the cash first so you try to stay positive. Then she insists on no kissing anywhere on her body, boobs included. Of course any sort of BJ condom or otherwise was out of the question, but being the optimist I still held out hope for a conclusion. So we did the handjob and when I went to put on the condom for the main event she went ballistic insisting that I shower again to remove any lube residue first, that she herself had applied. At that point I just pulled up and went to the died haired manasan, explaining all in Spanish. She refused any partial refund even though this all occurred within 15 minutes of an hour session. So, put your nose between her butt cheeks, defend her all you wish but I will never again darken the doorway of this place. Your choice.
I happen to like TrumpWell, you two have a lot in common. You're both total bullshit artists who wouldn't know the truth from a fuckin' arepa; you both have yourselves drastically overrated; you're both annoying as hell. I'm sure there are other similarities, but those are just the most obvious ones.
Picked a blonde there Daniela who turned out a flaming nut case. Went ballistic when I laid out my own condom, a first insisting that we use her's. Paranoia anyone? Then refused any kissing on her body. Then (straw that broke camel's back) insisted that I shower a second time to remove any lube residue she left behind from her HJ prior to putting on a condom for sexo. She had already refused any sort of BJ. But the kicker is this, the died haired mamasan that is the lead sales person supported her in this nonsense and said that she could give a fuck about any bad reviews in gringo forums. So I recommend avoiding this business and focusing on the spots in el centro. Of course some fanboys of this place will disagree but I honestly could not give a fuck what you think. Their response to my legit complaint is enough to make me go elsewhere. The unscrupulous mamasan refused any partial refund or switch for a different girl even though all of the nonsense occurred within 15 minutes of an hour session.
I'll just add that if you happen to draw some freaked out germophope in el centro, and if the management is so low as to back a girl when she is clearly wrong, then you aren't out much cash. But at Energy that old broad has put her meets on about 50 US, not a mint I know but still a bit of change. And more than she deserves to have her hands on by dishonest means.

Sunday night was my final night in Medellin. Woke up from a nap after dinner, then did my late night Centro strip club rounds. Went to Conejitas first, stayed for a while but the picking was really slim. Hit Maracaibo next, not bad. Their chicks are mostly young spinner types. Chatted with one of them young spinners, later she called over her younger sister, who is also her co-worker. They look very alike. Told me she's 18, but looked younger. Older sis wanted me to get a session on-site (for 70000), I countered with 100000 for 3 hours back at my place. She agreed but still tried to upsell for a 3 some to include little sis! I said no and she volunteered "ok. Or you can just take my sister, I don't mind. " Wow what a loving sibling. I just stuck with her. Took her back after 2 am; packed my luggage in between having 2 pops, a little before 5 am it was time to take the bus to the airport.
On the second leg of my flights home, actually sat next to a guy I saw in the Medellin airport. Turned out he lives within an hour from me. Took us no time to get through with the pleasantries to start comparing notes. It was both our first time to Medellin and he did the exact opposite as I. Whereas I didn't go anywhere else except El Centro, he did not set foot outside of Poblado at all. He stayed at Hotel Charlee and room rate was $170 per night. He said the hotel gym is amazing because the well-to-do women who work out there are amazing. Somehow our conversation touched on the different racial groups of Medellin. He was incredulous when I told him around Centro and Prado, it would not be an exaggeration to say 1 out of 7 (working, shopping, living) is Afro-Colombian. He said the only people of African origin he's seen his whole trip, were guys like him from the US. I thought that was rather interesting.

I was checking out Monday noon, standing at the reception desk and asked about a room at M1 for July 2017 & although he told be what rooms were available, I still had to send an email while standing at the desk to make the reservation. Luckily he received the email within a minute or so, made the reservation & I paid the deposit right then & there. So I guess short of planning your next trip while you are down there, you have to do the e-mail dance!

Well my version of that is. You can take the chica out the barrio but you can't take the barrio out the chica!
You want to relax and stay in (because you're 40+ years old and work) and she wants to go to the EDM festival and eat molly (because she's 20+ and has a the mind of a child) you got to be into the same shit and pick the right girl. If you google Fail and mail order bride I'm sure a ton of blogs will pop up with horror stories. Myself I knew a guy who drove for UPS, 50+ hours a week, bringing home the bacon to his young and beautiful Brazilian wife and two sons. Happy life almost perfect right? Wait for it.

He has married two hot, legal immigrants, so doesn't have a problem with foreigners, and has never said he doesn't like people from South America despite what your television tells you to think.
Are we really talking about politicians on this website. Lets keep it to the pursuit of happiness. AKA pasias!
You don't offer anything special or unique that another gringo can't find on their own in Medellin contrary to what you think.But he does offer something unique, security and peace of mind. It's not something the seasoned monger needs and it's not for the adventurous traveler, but there are plenty who feel they need that level of service.
The recently divorced workaholic who finally decides to live a little, the guy venturing out of his hometown for the first time, they have no idea where to go or what to do. If they try to go solo there's a good chance of a bad experience that will ruin the whole trip. But by paying a little more for a guide, they walk away with happy memories, and maybe after a few trips they're ready to fly solo.
Everywhere men go for cheap sex, there's someone like Jake. You should be happy he's there. He cuts down on the number of clueless noobs who just screw it up for everyone.

ColombiaJake.Personally. I can't stand casas. It is so few and far between for me to find something in one that I really like that I rarely bother going to one. Not to mention that sex experience in one is generally very poor compared to having the girl in your own place.
But it seems to me that you have cultivated relationships with some attractive women that I haven't seen anywhere else. From what I can see on your website. So I would consider that to be the biggest selling point to your services.
I occasionally have friends that travel to meet me in Medellin and if they see a girl on facebook that they like and I know her. I will contact her on behalf of my friend. Saves a lot of time and hassles for my friends just because girls are so much more likely to not flake and arrive on time for someone they know and like. Than just some unknown guy that wants to get with them.
Of course there are safety issues with guys that don't know what the hell they are doing and don't speak a lick of spanish having women they don't know from bean in their apartments. Which also is a good selling point.
Not that guys can't come down and do it themselves but I can see guys wanting to pay someone to make things a bit easier and make their stay just that much more productive.
Are we really talking about politicians on this website. Lets keep it to the pursuit of happiness. AKA pasias!Agreed! Neither side is likely to convince the other side, so why the compulsion to insert a snide political remark on a travel / pussy site.
I ran into the same prick on two separate trips at the Mansion this past Winter. This guy insisted that others give in to his political views and wouldn't stop talking about it, whether out by the pool or in la Cueva. I'm not going to specify his views because it's irrelevant. I respect people regardless of their political views, unless they have no respect for others' views.
Note. Most guys at the Mansion are fun to hang with, but there's usually one or two pricks that you end up preferring to avoid.

Examples are abound:
-David "Cuba Dave" Strecker (currently jailed in Costa Rica). Don't know why he got jailed in CR, but the DR kicked him out for overtly promoting sex tourism in Sosua via his YouTube videos and Facebook page
-David Joshua Brown of Lima, Peru Fame. Known around ISG as David_33.
-Noah Goldberg. Deceased. Known here as Medellin Paisa ("Medellin es una chimba!"). Although his death was related to owing money to loan sharks, he was also in the biz of procuring women for foreigners.
-Steve, owner of Liquid Lounge. Deceased. I have forgotten his ISG Handle here. He took his own life, but was also in the biz of procuring women for foreigners.
-The Doll House in Medellin. Gringos also. That pre-dates my visits to Medellin, but I've heard about it off and on in this forum. More info here:
http://www.eltiempo.com/archivo/documento/CMS-8245394
And now Colombian Jake has added his name to the Wall of "Pimpin Ain't Easy" Shame on ISG.
The pattern is clearly there. And as I mentioned before, the Mansion is smart in that they do not say "Hey, book a room here and we will introduce you to Katy, Angel, Christina, etc. " They just set up the opportunity. If you cannot close the deal on your own then you shouldn't be in possession of a passport to begin with.
The one (of many) things Barry (Poblado Rentals) did very well is to not get into the business of setting gringos up with chicas. It's probably one (of the many) reasons his rental business is booming in Medellin right now. He was looking into emulating the Mansion model at one point, but I think his business partner eventally convinced him that it would not be a good idea to pursue, so he killed the plan. Hasn't hurt him one bit.

David "Cuba Dave" Strecker (currently jailed in Costa Rica). Don't know why he got jailed in CR, but the DR kicked him out for overtly promoting sex tourism in Sosua via his YouTube videos and Facebook pageDave traveled to Costa Rica in September 2015 for a mongering trip. Undercover Costa Rica police followed him around the city for over a week, taking pictures and videos of him going into and coming out of one mongering spot after another. When he went to the airport and tried to leave, police arrested him and confiscated his laptop, cell phone, and memory cards. He was thrown into the local shithole prison and slept on the concrete floor next to the urinal for months in an overcrowded cell. A couple of months ago, he was moved to a nicer prison where they keep the geriatric prisoners (Dave is 65, I think). Costa Rica has charged Dave with promoting prostitution through his Facebook page and main website. Absolutely nothing has been done in the courts to move Dave's case along, and this September will mark one year since he was imprisoned. Search on Google and you'll find the complete story about Dave.
As far as ColombiaJake is concerned, meh.

It seems to me that the authorities, most likely the US authorities, are simply busting pimps. Peru Dave, Cuba Dave, and now Colombian Jake. The charge of pimping minors is just thrown in to justify the arrest. There is no reason to think any of these guys utilized minors. It's the same argument authorities make against prostitution itself, they are against prostitution but they couch their arguments as arguments against "[CodeWord908] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord908)" and prostitution of minors. The powers that be refuse to recognize that women may choose to work in the sex field, they refuse to grant women this right.
If you say "fuck you" about a guy the authorities merely accuse of something, then you are a POS.
Colombian Jake said he was careful to work with women 18 and over, and there is no reason to doubt that.
This is a campaign against prostitution really, but at this point it is directed against pimps, as pimps are the most conspicuous.

If the authorities want to nail Joe Monger, they don't need to go thru ColombiaJake to do it. I think this is all part of an effort by local authorities to clean up Poblados image. Didn't someone on the board mention a couple months ago a local authority had stated something was going to happen soon. I understand its only been several months since the policia started seriously policing Parque Lleras, now Colombia Jake, what's next?
Never thought about that! This has the potential to ensnare a lot of folks because it's very likely he kept all of the data you listed above.

This has the potential to ensnare a lot of folks because it's very likely he kept all of the data you listed above.Jake probably also had copies of the Passports of all that stayed at his establishment. For the US Citizens that stayed with him that have either have Global Entry, Sentri, or Nexus this could be problematic. It's possible they may get flagged or put on some type of "watch list" in the US system and when they come up for renewal face some tough questions if they get called in for an interview. Hypothetically this could occur, especially if Jake is found guilty of the charges regarding minors. This is all just speculation on my part.

Busted for the same thing as Jake.Manizales 911, how do you know Jake was busted? Any news LINK?
In these countries and elsewhere in Latin America, pimping is illegal while prostitution is not.

I believe Cuba Dave was arrested for promoting prostitution.
Colombia Jake was pimping. Those "dates" you paid for, the girls also paid for. The former "clients" of Colombia Jake just better hope that he doesn't rat them out. So much for peace of mind.

I think this is all part of an effort by local authorities to clean up Poblados image. Didn't someone on the board mention a couple months ago a local authority had stated something was going to happen soon.What's there to "clean up"? The everyday monger like much of us on this board does not walk around Poblado with a harem of chicas in tow. In fact, you'd never know what any of us were there for other than the perceived conception that all foreign single males coming to Medellin are sex tourist.
I don't know if you've ever been to Medellin or have stayed in El Poblado, but this is not a place like Sosua in the Dominican Republic where you have hookers and johns hanging out on the Pedro Clisante. The closest thing you'd see to something like that is El Centro.
My chicas arrive in taxi, and leave in a taxi. Most of the folks in Medellin are oblivious to what you are doing. They may have any idea of what you are there for, but that's about it.
There's nothing to "clean up". Except the pimps. This was more than likely a coordinated effort between the US Government and local authorities. If anything you are doing involves helping connect guys with chicas AND taking a cut of the transaction, you are probably being watched.

Colombia Jake was pimping. Those "dates" you paid for, the girls also paid for. The former "clients" of Colombia Jake just better hope that he doesn't rat them out. So much for peace of mind.Agreed, Cuba Dave was arrested with a law that wouldn't exist in the industrialized / civilized world. Jake's charge is legit in pretty much every country on the planet. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. If Jake didn't have a way to get something from you, he wouldn't tell you what time it was.
Colombia is a pretty tolerant country. All recreational drug use has been legalized, gambling and prostitution are legal. All they ask is that we don't have sex with or pimp out their children. That doesn't seem like an unreasonable request. Apparently Jake felt otherwise.

So rat them out for what? I was unaware of any business Jake did below the age of consent. Unless you had dealings with him in that area, I doubt you have anything to worry about.
To be put one a watch list for what, returning home with a smile on your face? Those secret service agents in Cartagena were not prosecuted and it was well proven they had hired hookers. They violated their terms of employment and were fired, but they violated no laws and as such where not prosecuted and I doubt they ended up on any 'watch lists'. They have enough trouble keeping those lists updated for Jihadis.
Yes, you could be accused of a crime you did not commit, it happens. Best defense against that (as has been said here) is to keep a low profile. But I would suggest if you worry a lot about that, perhaps you have way to low a risk tolerance to engage in this hobby.

I think that was what BeersTerry was getting at. If you were doing business with Jake explicitly requesting chicas under the age of consent, then you have a lot to be worried about. The other guys staying above board have nothing to worry about.
Jake still has to deal with the "pimping" aspect of his biz though. You as a client most likely wouldn't have had any idea he was taking a cut of the transaction, and it doesn't make you guilty of anything using his services. Unless, you were specifically requesting minors.
What's going to be interesting is if Jake was setting mongers up with chicas that were not above the age of consent and they didn't do their part to verify her age themselves. Especially if she was one of the more popular girls in his stable that was getting a lot of request. I don't know if there is an "I didn't know she was below the age of consent" escape clause out there to help you out.

If the authorities want to nail Joe Monger, they don't need to go thru ColombiaJake to do it. On the other hand, if I was to get busted for pimping those types, then the first question my lawyer would ask for in discovery is a list of the supposed chicks that I pimped out and a list of the supposed customers that I pimped them out to. If there were no customers then nobody was pimped. So you best believe that the prosecution would be looking for a list of customers. Are you on it?
No, the first thing he would ask for would be a copy of Colombia Jake's postings on his Colombia Jake section of this forum, secondly Colombia Jake's web site, his YouTube promotional video and finally his Facebook postings. They don't need no stinkin' customer list.
You guys talking about Jake's customers are off base. There is no evidence Jake had anything to do with minors, only 18+. His clients got nothing to worry about.
You guys are spineless.

This doesn't mean that any of his clients did anything illegal, however in the case of US Citizens, those with expedited access into the US may get flagged in the system. If I was one of his clients and he is found guilty of dealing with minors, I would be worried.

The reality is that 5 years ago Colombia welcomed the gringo. A gringo can and is any white skinned man be it Australian, European, Israeli, US guy or from where ever basically. Today the perception HAS completely changed. Gringos only come to fuck the Colombians on sex tours and drug addicts on drug binges.
It's sad but true. The perception is in fact in the process of shifting from single gringos being welcomed to Colombia to stay away you sex and drug addicted gringos.
This is just the start and the tip, it will get worse. I have my ears to the ground and have been watching this is like seeing a train wreck in the process.
So if your traveling to Colombia, any city be it MDE or Bogota or Cali or CTG, and your traveling alone or with another man (not a family) it is assumed now that your on a sex and or drug tourist vacation. This is especially true if your over 40 years of age.
Stay low and stay clear of drama and don't promote sex and drug tourism like these others have done. Big egos gets these boys into serious trouble and have any of you seen the inside of the overcrowded filthy Colombian prisons. It takes 4 years plus just to get to trial if you can live that long.

TTM.This did not happen out of thin air. It was more like, "build it and they will come". Whoring is a way of life for a subset of Colombians. Colombia was exporting putas all over the world 15 years ago. It was only natural that the gringos would sniff out the source eventually.
As far as resentment, if you stay out of Poblado, Colombians will be warm and welcoming in the other barrios.
Your advice about staying below the radar is good. You make pretty wide generalizations that in my opinion are way over the top. Colombian cities are regional and global business centers. Many foreigners travel there on business. Many of the business travelers are of course over 40, male and traveling without their families and alone or with a colleague or two. On the other hand, I think just like me, Colombians don't have much trouble telling the difference between a guy on a business trip who might veer off to a red light district strip club or a casa from the stereotypical loud mouth sex tourist pawing women in public or crusty backpackers stoned out of their minds.

These people LOVE their city. I love it when we land there and the Pilot or Co-Pilot comes over the intercom and says (in a talk show host voice) "Bienvenidos a Medellin!" and everyone starts clapping. They know about the drugs and prostitution. They are all too happy that you have chosen to spend your dollars there and help out their economy.
It is the pimps and sexual predators of minors that they don't want coming there and giving the place a bad name. I have yet to see a news report that shines a bad light on stoners only coming to Medellin to get high. Hell, you can buy recreational marijuana right here in the USA In Colorado and Washington State. A handful of other States have medical marijuana and have decriminalized possession up to a certain amount.
As far as coke, it's definitely not taboo in Medellin. I don't partake, but I know chicas that have told me about their love for it. And it's very easy to come by. I've never seen a gringo make national news for going down to Colombia and snorting coke.
I've never received any dirty looks when I am down there. And I do a lot of walking around there and even take the bus. I get curious looks at most. But there is nothing about me that could tell you that I just finished banging 2 chicas before lunch.
You are doing it the right way.

Reading through the comments regarding ColombiaJake's arrest, it's easy to differentiate between those who formulated their responses using reason and logic and those who are just members of the ColombiaJake Cheer leading Squad. And to you ColombiaJake supporters, I ask this: now that he's been arrested on a serious charge of pimping less-than-legal-age girls, how many of you are going to donate money to him for his legal defense? After all, bros before hoes, right?
Personally, I didn't care that Jake charged for his services. You're always going to have mongers who are too busy working 40 hours a week or more at their jobs or mongers who are just too lazy to do the proper planning for a mongering trip. For those people, Jake was a safe bet and a sure thing to have a good time in Medellin.
Where I did have a problem with Jake was when he would get on this thread and tell mongers, "If you don't buy my services and sleep where I tell you to sleep and fuck the girls that I'm offering, you're going to be sleeping on a bench in Parque Lleras with a hard dick the entire time you're down here. " Read my report here on ISG regarding my trip to Medellin in October / November 2015. I had never visited Medellin in the past, yet I showed you didn't need ColombiaJake or the Mansion to have a good time in Medellin.
And let's be honest with ourselves, shall we? It doesn't matter if you're pimping less-than-legal-age girls or running tours to coffee farms in the countryside. You're going to have phone numbers and text messages of clients in your cell phone. You're going to have e-mail addresses and e-mails from clients on your laptop. You're going to have financial records of what your clients paid for services rendered. And as Surfer500 pointed out, "Jake probably also had copies of the Passports of all that stayed at his establishment. " You better believe that Colombian authorities will be poring over all that information in order to build a case against Jake.
Do we know that the charge of pimping less-than-legal-age girls against Jake is legitimate? No, but do you think Colombian authorities just woke up one day and decided to arrest a Jake for the hell of it? In all likelihood, Jake was on the radar for quite a while and Colombian authorities built a case against him over time. Look what happened to Cuba Dave in Costa Rica. The OIJ followed him around for days and captured pictures and video of him going into and coming out of one mongering spot after another in San Jose. To you mongers who used Jake's services over the past several months, you might very well be in pictures or on video with one of Jake's less-than-legal-age chicas on your lap in Parque Lleras.
The bottom line, gentlemen, is that the ColombiaJake party is over. Even if he beats the charge or charges against him in the Colombian court system, there's no way Colombia will let him remain in the country. He'll be deported back to his country of origin after everything is said and done and settled.

Maybe it's a temporary thing, or maybe it has been taken off line. I hope either Matt or World Traveler will chime in and give us an update.
I am in Medellin now, so that could be the reason I am getting that error. I have accessed it before while in Medellin, but I had a different internet connection.

The thing that stands out with the Jake situation is the "he never did that" responses regarding the [CodeWord902] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord902) charges. The only person who knows the truth is Jake (plus anyone he might have provided the illegal services to).
Even living next door to someone, you only see what they let you see. They aren't going to tell you they're embezzling, or beating their wife or exposing themselves to school girls.
Did he? Maybe someone offered too much money, maybe some girl fooled him with a fake ID, maybe there's nothing to the charge. Either way it ends the debate about advertising.

Thank you SavePros for clarifying what I meant, you hit the nail on the head.
Finally Jake's arrest hit the news, it has just been release at Vivir en El Poblado newspaper:
http://www.vivirenelpoblado.com/periodico/en-medellin-capturan-a-extranjero-vinculado-a-explotacion-sexual-de-menores
Bait and switch every time! I have yet found and escort that had her real pictures! Also, usually a scam to make you pay money anyway, even if you try to turn around and walk away! This is how it works in both Medellin and Bogota.
They put pictures of models on the website and an attractive price. You talk to them on whatsapp and seemingly confirm everything. Everything they say is bullshit of course! You show up and a woman meets you and of course she is fat / old / unattractive. Yet when you try to walk away. The door is locked! Now she wants money for "viewing her naked" or hotel fee or whatever they make up. When you protest / refuse. Someone comes out of the adjacent room and with threat of violence makes you pay!
This happened to me twice already. How do you ask I was so stupid for this to happen to me twice? Well, the second time I talked to the girl on whatsapp to make sure if was her in the picture, it was a safe apartment in a nice neighborhood. ,she told me everything I wanted to hear and when I did show up -exactly the same thing happened.
I will never use mileroticos site for anything in the future. This whole experience made me regret I ever came to Colombia.

And here is the translated text, courtesy of Google Translate:
"In El Poblado they captured a foreigner linked to sexual exploitation of children".
"The National Police with the support of the Embassy of the United States dismantled a criminal organization dedicated to pimping and sexual exploitation of girls from 13 years."
"According to official information, the criminal organization was led by the US citizen Harry Jay Drivas, alias "Jake". The National Police said that this man used social networking and other information technologies to capture and induce minors to sexual activity and the consumption of hallucinogens."
"In the development of Jake operation, which last night was held on July 7, authorities also captured another man and rescued a 13-year-old who was found at the site being exploited sexually. The minor was made available Family Welfare, as the two men will face charges for crimes of prostitution, pimping minor, trafficking, manufacturing and possession of narcotics. ".
"The Ministry of Security of Medellin, said the man was arrested in the apartment 902 of a building located in the race 38, a few blocks from Provence and Lleras Park neighborhood, where the man was two months resident. The property consists of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and balcony where foreigners had installed an inflatable jacuzzi. ".
"According to photographs visible on the website where sexual services were offered, this apartment was the place where came hundreds of women, including minors, for at least one year. According to information published on the same site, the apartment was rented from $75 plus company for 6 hours. The value could increase to $99 if the client wanted a "happy ending" by women. Similarly, the web was used to offer so-called "narcotours" by some of the extinct properties of Pablo Escobar and bars in the city."
"So far the national authorities, with the support of the American Embassy advance in the process of prosecution of these two men, who would be the first caught by this illegal activity that increasingly takes more boom in the city."
"Likewise, the authorities have serious indications that the head of these criminal organizations engaged in the sexual exploitation of minors foreign nationals are, because according to preliminary information, the murder of an Israeli citizen a couple of weeks in Medellin, would be linked to a network dedicated to sexual and drug trafficking attending the demand of visitors who came to the city in search of sex and drugs exploitation."
"It is expected that in the coming hours has a ruling by the civilian authorities and police of the city, to determine if the well also enter into a process of asset forfeiture."
Embassy of the United States? Prostitution? Pimping less-than-legal-age girls? Trafficking? Manufacturing and possession of narcotics? Ol' Jake is fucked!

I couldn't tell by "trafficking" if they were talking about women or drugs. Either way, thats a very damming charge.
Late to the news re Jake.
Always seemed to me this guy was playing Russian Roulette. Pimping is illegal in Colombia. Not only was he pimping, but he was doing it very openly. He was warned several times by other members on this site. Was he that desperate for money to risk so much?
Now we find out he was also doing minors. So he's not just reckless, but a creep [CodeWord910] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord910) to boot (if the charges are true). He belongs somewhere where he can't harm others.

I made a post a few weeks ago that Jake responded to where I told him a couple of guys I know from a now past expat forum were out to get him in the manner this all came down, and now it is obvious that they succeeded.Which begs the question: Out to get him for what? Anybody who read Jake's posts here on ISG could tell he was an arrogant, conceited narcissist. He probably pissed off more than one client who traveled to Medellin to use his services. And now, Colombian authorities are about to chop his balls off. Karma.
Quagmire1974
07-12-16, 02:36
Not sure if the following applies to Jake, but since pimping less-than-legal-age girls applies to his situation, I imagine so:
"Colombia: Article 219 of the Colombian criminal code prohibits, "organizing or facilitating sexual tourism and provides penalties of 3 to 8 years' imprisonment", but there were no reported prosecutions or convictions of child sex tourists. In recent years, Colombia has strengthened legislation related to control trafficking of children, particularly to follow the criminal code. However, a law is still pending approval by the Code for Children and Adolescents, which includes the rights and guarantees of children and adolescents victims of commercial sexual exploitation. ".
And also:
"Under the PROTECT Act of April 2003, it is a federal crime, prosecutable in the United States, for a USA Citizen or permanent resident alien, to engage in illicit sexual conduct in a foreign country with a person under the age of 18, whether or not the USA Citizen or lawful permanent resident alien intended to engage in such illicit sexual conduct prior to going abroad. For purposes of the PROTECT Act, illicit sexual conduct includes any commercial sex act in a foreign country with a person under the age of 18. The law defines a commercial sex act as any sex act, on account of which anything of value is given to or received by a person under the age of 18. Before congressional passage of the Protect Act of 2003, prosecutors had to prove that sex tourists went abroad with the intent of molesting childrensomething almost impossible to demonstrate. The Protect Act shifted the burden, making predators liable for the act itself. Penalties were doubled from 15 years in prison to 30. ".
According to the article the US Embassy was involved, not good for US Citizens who utilized his services. My bet is the US Embassy has already asked for the copies of Passports of all clients who are US Citizens.
For all members of this Forum who have stayed at Jakes, don't be surprised if you are sent to "secondary" for questioning upon entering the USA from overseas in the future, or put on some type of watch list.I doubt guys on here are so foolish as to have given him their real names and copies of their passports.

This post a few days ago looks interesting now.
But he does offer something unique, security and peace of mind. It's not something the seasoned monger needs and it's not for the adventurous traveler, but there are plenty who feel they need that level of service.
The recently divorced workaholic who finally decides to live a little, the guy venturing out of his hometown for the first time, they have no idea where to go or what to do. If they try to go solo there's a good chance of a bad experience that will ruin the whole trip. But by paying a little more for a guide, they walk away with happy memories, and maybe after a few trips they're ready to fly solo.
Everywhere men go for cheap sex, there's someone like Jake. You should be happy he's there. He cuts down on the number of clueless noobs who just screw it up for everyone..

.Is it really that interesting? In most mongering havens there is someone offering something along the line of the services Jake advertised. No matter where are who they always find a supply of customers. They come and go. Someone else will take over in a year or two, and they'll find plenty of customers too. At least until they get too greedy or forget that they have a target on their back.
I doubt guys on here are so foolish as to have given him their real names and copies of their passports.You would be surprised how foolish guys can become when they think with their "little heads". I don't know if Jake only dealt on a cash basis, but if he took charge cards he would of required some form ID. Perhaps some of the members on this board who stayed at his establishment or know of others who did can shed some light on this.

If you live in Colombia, you will never see Jake again. Nobody could see this coming, except the local police that stated publicly they were after this sort of operation just a couple of months ago, and anybody else with a brain.
Jake gave gringos a bad name. I never used his "services", but can't say I will miss him.

If you had read any of this forum, you would have read over and over that while prostitution is legal, pimping is not.
Like Cuba Dave, Jake was waving a big red flag around. Why would one want to be anywhere near a guy waving a big red flag around ?

Wow. Just wow.
"authorities also captured another man and rescued a 13 - year - old who was found at the site being exploited sexually. The minor was made available Family Welfare, as the two men will face charges for crimes of prostitution, pimping minor, trafficking, manufacturing and possession of narcotics."
I guess that "other man" was his roommate you guys referred to as "Eric".
I dunno but friends told me that were just recently talking to Eric. If he was that guy, he must have been released
His Medellin web page is still up and running! If read it's flat out pimping!

Why would one want to be anywhere near a guy waving a big red flag around ?I've read some of the forum and am aware that pimping is illegal, but that doesn't really change anything. You don't think he was the only guy in Medellin pimping do you? The people who were his customers don't know or care.
It's simple, there's a market, someone will always come along to exploit it. Most newbies have at least some clue. They may make a few mistakes, but they muddle through and learn. There are others who either can't or won't learn. They either end up with someone like Jake or they end up becoming either a nuisance or a headline.
If they end up swept up with Jake, it's no loss.
I dunno but friends told me that were just recently talking to Eric. If he was that guy, he must have been releasedThe guy is a Colombian national. Draw your own conclusions.

Bait and switch every time! I have yet found and escort that had her real pictures! Also, usually a scam to make you pay money anyway, even if you try to turn around and walk away! This is how it works in both Medellin and Bogota.
They put pictures of models on the website and an attractive price. You talk to them on whatsapp and seemingly confirm everything. Everything they say is bullshit of course! You show up and a woman meets you and of course she is fat / old / unattractive. Yet when you try to walk away. The door is locked! Now she wants money for "viewing her naked" or hotel fee or whatever they make up. When you protest / refuse. Someone comes out of the adjacent room and with threat of violence makes you pay!
This happened to me twice already. How do you ask I was so stupid for this to happen to me twice? Well, the second time I talked to the girl on whatsapp to make sure if was her in the picture, it was a safe apartment in a nice neighborhood. ,she told me everything I wanted to hear and when I did show up -exactly the same thing happened.
I will never use mileroticos site for anything in the future. This whole experience made me regret I ever came to Colombia.If you are in Bogota why not just use solitasparati.com? The girls that show up are exactly the same girls pictures online, and why go to the escorts place? Have her come to your hotel!
Mileroticos, craigslist, all that is a crap shoot. If you are looking for an escort why not go with a professional agency?
Sorry. I reposted old news without the translation.

Several nice pretty honest girls I met in CTG, who I even befriended, had ads on Mileseroticos. I would say most of the girls at Reloy have their ad there.
Impossible to recognize them from the photos, really common. Even more, from the ad I could not guess that behind there was such a good girl.
So, the bottom line could be: don't go with girls who post photos that are too good.

WTF! Jake's shit keep spreading like wildfire. Thanks to Jake this year is going to be difficult for the single gringo traveler to stay under the radar or keep a low profile when entering, leaving the airport, or just being in Medellin. The other new channels started to pick up Jake's news and for the good politicians blaming the gringos for Medellin problems, the corruption, drugs, and prostitution, this is going to come easy.

$33 million in cash - that's about $11k US right?Translated with Google Translate:
"Gringo capture linked to pimping minors in Medellin".
"'Jake' allegedly offered exclusively to foreign tourism plans through a web page, in addition to horseback tourist sites. "
"A few blocks from Lleras Park neighborhood El Poblado of Medellin, the National Police managed to capture an American citizen named Jay Harry Drivas, alias 'Jake', and national Jaime Respect, promote investigation for apparently sex tourism in the paisa capital.
In the process of capturing, on the ninth floor of an apartment building, authorities found a minor of age 13.
Harry Jay Drivas, officials said, leading a criminal organization that develops activities of pimping women, adolescents and children.
'Jake' offered exclusively to foreign tourism plans through a web page, in addition to horseback city tourist sites, including places where the drug lord Pablo Escobar lived.
On its website reads: "I'm here to help ensure you have the best vacation of your life. "
At the time of the raid the police found 33 million pesos in cash, four cell, three hard drives, plus cards sim card.
They were also found in ecstasy, cocaine, among other drugs.
By using his apartment, including jacuzzi, alias 'Jake' he charged $ 75 a day for sexual activities with women between 90 and 100 dollars.
This operation was conducted by the Criminal Investigation Unit of Child and Adolescent Directorate of Protection and Special Services, with help from US authorities.
By the time the authorities of Colombia and the United States advanced in the process of prosecution of these two men and investigate if more people within the band. "
And at the current exchange rate of $1 US = 2934 COP, 33 million COP cash would equal $11,028 US, which, now, doesn't belong to Jake anymore. It belongs to the Government of Colombia.

$33 million in cash - that's about $11k US right?They are calling it a criminal organization, so anybody with any ties to him (clients?) are presumed guilty by association. That's just how it works. I'd keep my ass out of Colombia for a while.

His Medellin web page is still up and running!Of course it's still up and running. The majority of Jake's former and potential new clients likely haven't heard of Jake's arrest. They're going to be texting, e-mailing, and calling Jake looking to make arrangements for Medellin. And Colombian authorities will be on the other end recording and monitoring all of the incoming texts, e-mails, and telephone calls to see who else they can snare.
Translated with Google Translate:
'Jake' allegedly offered exclusively to foreign tourism plans through a web page, in addition to horseback tourist sites." ... 'Jake' offered exclusively to foreign tourism plans through a web page, in addition to horseback city tourist sites, including places where the drug lord Pablo Escobar lived."Google Translate sucks. The "horseback' should be "gentlemen's" as in caballeros.

Hi guys,
I was considering looking for a roommate, possibly long term. But with this colombianjake deal I'm not sure anymore. Are they targeting gringos now? Or was this just a one time thing against a Colombian national pimping out girls? I haven't been to Medellin in a couple of yours, looking forward to it.
They are calling it a criminal organization, so anybody with any ties to him (clients?) are presumed guilty by association. That's just how it works. I'd keep my ass out of Colombia for a while.So what your implying is that anyone who was a client of Jake's of which the Colombian government obtained copies of their Passport's might be flagged in the Colombian system and detained and / or questioned upon entering Colombia?

33 million pesos in cash? What! The Medellin police is probably having a party with Jake's hookers invited. That's what I call stimulating the Colombian economy!

Hope this shit blows over. From reports CubaDave's arrest in Costa Rica didn't seem to affect activities in San Jose.
So what your implying is that anyone who was a client of Jake's of which the Colombian government obtained copies of their Passport's might be flagged in the Colombian system and detained and / or questioned upon entering Colombia?That's right. I'm sure he's singing like a canary and has already given them the names of those who requested minors. But they must have the full client list and may not be satisfied, and may want to question them themselves. I think there's a chance that they could be detained / questioned. I don't think they would be arrested unless there's proof of wrongdoing (like emails requesting illegal activities).
I'm going to MDE on Thursday, but I have never had any contact with that guy so I don't expect to have any issues.
The bottom line is simply don't be trying to make a living off those women. Peru David, Cuba Dave, Colombia Jake, all felt the need to make some $$ off the local ladies. Bad idea!
The allegations re minors I don't even believe. For example, if Colombia Jake had a 13 year old in his apt, why would his roommate Eric be walking around as I write? The authorities make these allegations to cover up the fact that they are simply arresting a pimp. Pimping is wrong, but they can't be satisfied with a simple justification.
The moral of the story is, don't retire unless you have the money.
