Medellin Reports

[Husker Dude]

Arrived Saturday night late and stayed in Rionegro to pick up my rental car on Sunday. Was waiting for my ride to the hotel within 20 minutes after the door opened, short line. Learned upon arrival that my luggage took a detour. Finally got it Sunday night.

Had a lunch invitation in Envigado at Restaurante Viejo John, right off the park. Very popular place with a long line waiting for a table. Fortunately, my hosts were already seated. Excellent comida tipica and prices seemed reasonable, although I never saw the check. If you like Colombian food, it's worth a visit.

Monday night was date night. Made the mistake of trying Denver Grill in La Strada. Not worth it. There's a small gas grill in the middle of each table. If you order a steak, you cook it yourself on the grill. So far, not bad, until the 2 ribeyes showed up. Steaks were less than a half inch thick. Convenient for quick grilling, but not worth the 110 k each price tag. Came with 1 small side dish. Food was good, just not much for the price.

Last night I visited La Mayoria in the hills above Envigado. It's a large place which is probably packed on the weekends, although not many people there on Tuesday. Friday through Sunday they have horse shows of various types at the restaurant. I chose what was described as a thick cut sirloin and got a thick cut sirloin that may have been the best steak I've had in Medellin. Service was good and good views. Long ride by taxi, but it's only 12 minutes away from where I'm staying.

Monday night exposed my date to the bar at the Mansion. Only 2 girls there when we arrived, 1 more came in a few minutes later. There were no other customers. Bartender was cute, as were 2 of the 3 girls. The third girl looked pretty rough. Stayed for 1 drink before heading to La Isla. When we left it was only the doorman, the bartender and 1 girl in the bar.

Arrived at La Isla before 10 pm, lots of girls, no customers. They now charge 100 k cover for a girl, 50 k for guys. I'm glad they weren't doing that last year when I took 3 girls. The club slowly filled with customers, although not a big crowd. Two guys were periodically making it rain, which drew almost all the girls. Almost all the customers were gringos. As for the girls, they came in all shapes and sizes. Quite a few with grossly over inflated (to me) tits and asses. Quite a few were all natural. There are always enough options to satisfy most tastes.

Can't help much with lodging, because I'm staying at an apartment in the hills above Envigado, which my hosts had available. I didn't want to stay here, but they insisted. It's free, stocked with plenty of food and wine, in a quiet location, and comfortable, but it's not exactly a convenient location. I've been grabbing breakfast or lunch with friends and have a family barbecue to attend tomorrow night. Leaving on Saturday night on the last flight out.

Nice review! You arrived too early for the action. Mansion bar doesn't get going til after 10 PM and La Isla doesn't get going til midnight.

This is a strong positive for Tijuana. It seems to be Medellin 5, Tijuana 3.

I was in Rio not that long ago. People rave that the beaches in Copacabana and Ipanema are the best in the world. There are upwards of 40 million people living within 100 miles. You think they will vote / mention there favorite spots? Yep but it does not make it so. Outside Rio there are much nicer beaches. IMHO I lived in Baja for 6 years. Beaches there are nice compared to the desert here in Las Vegas. When I finally made it to Colombia. It was, still is beyond comparison to Tijuana. Only the drunken debauchery and memories in Tijuana can compare. But alas the reality of "the way it was" is a lot different then those fond select memories and. Things have changed. SAVE your memories, don't pollute them by returning to disappointment. LOL Enjoy Medellin & all of Colombia.

I arrived in MDE tonight but forgot to pack boxers (don't ask how please) I am pretty close to unicentro Laureles. Anyone know of a store or stores around Laureles that sales mens boxers / briefs? Also, I am looking for a mini 2 serving indoor grill, something like a mini george foreman. Anyone know where I can find one of these at? I will go and check out Exito as I have to make my first run there upon entering the city anyways.

Please help LOL.

I'm a bit confused on how to safely solo travel. I've heard that you should find girls online before arriving to plan, then again meeting girls online is how you get scammed? Was thinking of making a Facebook with my real face but fake name and adding girls. Or tinder.

Then there's the possibility of being drugged. Should I completely avoid all drinks that are poured even if out at a restaurant and bar, and bring my own unopened water from a market?

Finally, should I request the girl to shower with soap and rinse with mouthwash, while watching her physically do this?

As for these "short hour hotels", I should do homework and find secure ones that have guards plus tip them to make sure I don't end up a statistic?

Just want to submit a PSA of sorts for anyone looking for STD testing. I use Proanalab to get tested every year or so. Whatsapp +57 321 743 0433. A 4 part panel "muestras de sangre" for HIV / Clamidia / Herpes / Sifilis is 236 mil if you visit their lab at carrera 49 #60-05 just a couple blocks north of Parque Bolivar. Or 256 mil domicillio. Same day results for HIV and 3 days for the other tests. Just FYI.

I arrived at MDE tonight at about 8:15 on Copa. The line at immigration was approximately 70-80 people. It moved fairly fast. I was through it in about 20 minutes. The bags from my flight had already arrived. The bus to San Diego was almost full, so only had to wait a little while for it to leave. The bus fare is now 15,500. They also accept payment with a Metro card. Before I left the US, I used Ding to add data and minutes to my Colombian number. It's cheap. I paid for 6 days with 1g of data. Total cost was $2.68. When I arrived at MDE, everything was working. I received a message from Claro that I had added 7 days with 2g of data.

This is not even a question. Medellin hands down. I don't care what anyone says LOL.

As far as my experience goes, I will never get tired of paisas. They got the best pussy in the world. Even when I was Mexico, I was still banging Colombianas there. Every single paisas gave me the GFE experience and sex did not feel mechanical unlike, mexicanas which most of them are. They loved sex as much as we do and I love hearing paisas when they moans in the bed, they have the sexiest accent. Cost wise, Medellin beats Tijuana easy. I do live in the East coast so MDE is just 6 hours away.

I think there are a couple good reasons why Paisas are in fact the best. Primarily, imo, it's because the chicas here look at each of us as a potential reoccuring revenue source. Whereas in most other countries I've played the game the girls are trying to figure out how to do the least and still get the money for the one trick. They never seem to think past that one first meeting. Dumbasses. Here the chicas always ask questions to figure out how good of a future revenue stream you may become. Are they just smarter? No I think it's a cultural thing. They learn from a young age that a guy takes care of a female financially. And as they get of age they look for those sources of financial help. Gringos are a perfect fit for their mindset. And so they want us to enjoy our time together and then blow up our phones begging for more sessions. At least that's my experience. I've almost never had mechanical sex here like I've had in many other countries. Day and night difference with the paisas.

...Envigado at Restaurante Viejo John, right off the park.

I think that is by Sabaneta Park, good food, large portion. There is a la gloria de gloria in Envigato that is popular with ribs and huge chicharon.

Learned a lesson tonight. Had a girl say "mi hora es $X. " Seemed like she might be saying "mi hora" in the sense of my time, so I clarified saying I'd pay her for her time but might be longer than an hour or less than an hour, and I didn't want to be rushed. I thought it was pretty clear, she said okay. Sure enough, we meet, we chat, she takes photos of course, she shows me her TikTok, she cleans herself, and then as we're getting started she informs me of the time and is looking to get double her rate. I just had her finish me orally and got her out of there as quick as possible. One of the nice things about Medellin is you don't get the clock watchers as much as American providers, but should have recognized hora for the red flag that it was. I'm just ghosting any girls that use hora in the future, like as if they cited me their American dollar rate.

I would like to check this off the bucket list. Any recommendations?

I had a nuru session with FS a few weeks ago in Toronto believe it or not. Nuru is an Asian thing so they do it best.

[Manizales911]

Thank you, sir. You are correct! I was under the incorrect assumption that I could register my phone and then buy a Sim card for a Colombian number. Obviously, as you just explained, that is backwards. I will try on my next trip and let you know. Thanks again for your help, I am a slow learner ha ha.

I will add to Gabacho's advise. If you go to a Claro store they will register the phone for you when you purchase a sim card or an E-sim. To be clear, it has to be an actual Claro owned store, most of the stores with Claro signs are just authorized retailers and can NOT register the phone for you or install an E-sim.

[Mr Enternational]

I am calling BS on this. It is not a relatively simple process! I have tried for a half an hour and Claro App will not let me get through the registration process by using my US cell number and passport. You have to have a Claro number or a Claro Sim card in order to create an account!

LOL. How are you trying to register a phone without a SIM and phone number? I agree that it is not a simple process. I could not do it on the app either, after the lady at the store told me there was no need to do it.

I bought my SIM in July and Saturday I finally got the dreaded message that if I did not register my phone by February 16 it would be blocked on their network. I immediately went to a huge Claro store in the biggest mall in Barranquilla. The lady told me it was not a service center and I would need to go to the service center Monday. The first thing Monday I went and it took the lady like 10 minutes to register my phone and passport number in the system. No Claro employee ever said you can just do it in the app. And if it took her 10 minutes on their own company computer, it does not seem simple at all.

[El Mechanico]

Of course you need a Claro Sim and Claro phone number to use the claro app to register your phone. And if you had a Tigo sim card and phone number then you would use the Tigo app.

I think you misunderstood something in the process. If you don't have Claro then why the hell would you be using the Claro app? That's like if you had Verizon and we're trying to use the T-Mobile app.

The process is very simple I will outline it for you agn.

1.) When you are physically in Colombia purchase a Claro sim card and put a cheap plan on it at the claro store or gana or wherever (there's plans available from 3 mil to 31 mil pesos).

2.) Slap the sim card into your phone and you should have signal and data and be able to place phone calls and send/rec SMS to Colombian numbers.

3.) Now download the MiClaro App from the Playstore or Apple.

4.) Use your new phone number to register the app to your account.

5.) Within the app there will be the option to register the IMEI number of your phone with your passport or cedula so that it doesn't get blocked.

Make sure you do this within 30 days of first using the phone in Colombia or it will be blocked.

If you choose to use Tigo then the process is pretty much the same but the app is called MiTigo.

Any other questions?

Thank you, sir. You are correct! I was under the incorrect assumption that I could register my phone and then buy a Sim card for a Colombian number.
