YES- when I saw the rate offered I declined accepting- that action cancelled the transaction and my card was spit out.

I saw no other options. Did I miss something?

What specific bank ATM...

I have been using my Schwab debit card forever yanking money out of Bancolombia ATMs (600,000 cop max / transaction). They kept inching up the "service fee" to now at 21,000 cop which in itself is...

I applaud you for your exploratory spirit, but IMHO el centro is not a good idea for an absolute newbie traveling alone with no Spanish skill. Even a Poblado or Laureles apartment would be a...

I am a little surprised nothing has been mentioned on this board concerning the mounting tension / violence that is growing between gangs themselves and with police in the western sector of Medellin....

I would expect Friday, Saturday, Christmas, Monday to be completely dead at the Mansion and pretty much so at the cento casas as well. Midweek options should improve slightly, but still probably...

On my very recent trip to Medellin I also had noted a number of trendy Parque Lleras restaurants displaying signage: "No To Sex Tourists".

In the past I have felt comfortable dining in Lleras with...

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...

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....

Sunday afternoon I was killing time waiting for my early evening hookup so I decided to stroll Centro to see what Sunday pickings were like at the few casas opened. In a nutshell-- "not much". So...

I think you owe John an apology. John and my paths have crossed a number of times. We do not know each other well, but I can assure you he is not taking any cut from his referrals.

#1) I never ask a prostitute "how much? Like some clueless fuck- It is my job to do the research on boards like this or just ask around what the the "base rate" is for that particular venue. Some...

First time visitor? Medellin is not Pattaya, Angeles City or San Jose where there is a ground zero that is hopping to all hours. It is not complicated, but it does take a little hands on experience...

The above experiment on exchange rates was done in Jan /2015. The below repeat experiment on rates is April 2015 just three months latter:

Friday the cambio gave 2410 pesos / dollar while the ATM...

I can see from your post that you really have no handle on the layout of Medellin, how spread out everything is and it's many, many various ($$ & quality) chica options. I suspect also you are not...

Street Scene Near centro Museum Antioquia and Parque Botero-I stumbled across this youtube hidden cam video of the street scene. I think it gives one a pretty good what that is all about.

Yes-- I too enjoyed reading this report. I understood clearly by the omission of "casa name" that the poster preferred for some reason to keep if private. I who will be returning to Medellin in a few...

Within minutes of each other I exchanged dollars at a cambio in Mall Oviedo (which in the past has always delivered one of the better exchange rates I have see around town) and then pulled...

I have been to Medellin many times, most often basing out of Mansion. I am very familiar with Centro scene. My next trip I will have an apartment near Parque Lleras. I have often eaten there, but I...

Someone here recommended this hotel a while back. I decided to take a look and agree that this is a very nice cheap Centro option. This hotel located one block East of Iglesias Veracrus / Parque...

I do not know if anyone here is interested in Poker but I enjoy it and this trip I did manage to end up +900,000 cop. There is really only one game in town at Rio Casino in San Diego. Tuesday thru...
