This is finally hitting Medellin as there seems to be some sentiment to keep those traveling here for vices away along with pushback on gentrification.

Funny that the writer is railing against sex tourists, who at least spend money and boost the local economy, when his country is currently flooded with impoverished Venezuelans who depress local wages, take jobs, and strain health and human services.

Hi,

I'm going to visit Colombia in 2 weeks. Aug 31-Sep 4 Cartagena, Sep 4 - Sep 8 Medellin.

New to the forum and the country, but not to the game - 20+ years mongering in US, DR, Mexico, Jamaica, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Greece, Netherlands.

Have been reading the forum for couple weeks. Thanks a lot to veterans for time and efforts spent to help newbies to understand Medellin!

Booked already Ayenda 1235 Botero hotel (I read all cons and pros and despite my Spanish limited to 20 words -for many years just plan to start learning-I've been in rough places and hopefully will survive).

I have free cancellation with Expedia, so if veterans convince me that I should stay somewhere else. I'll think about it.

The only question that bothers me for now -I've read that there is NO in-room safe in Botero hotel. Where do you guys keep your passports, cards, money?

If anybody is going to be in Medellin Sep 4 - Sep 8 - will gladly meet and share beer and stories.

Thanks in advance!

"Restaurants where the girls are almost naked"? They could have at least had the consideration to give the names and addresses of these establishments.

I can't click on the two pictures you just posted. What is the context?

Hi,

I generally prefer hotels, but if they won't let the chica in, I will go to an apartment.

Are chicas banned from hotels in Medellin?

What if they arrive separately and to your room alone?

Thanks in advance.

The best thing to do is contact the hotel that you're staying in and they will let you know what the policy is. Most of the hotels I looked at charge extra for you to bring the girls up as long as they have proper ID. But quite honestly I'd rather just hit them at the houses or strip clubs and go back to my room. If you're not on a budget and insist on a hotel then treat yourself and pay the extra cash to bring them up. I know I would.

As a rule, chicas are not banned from hotels. Some hotels will not allow local females to enter the rooms unless they are registered. Some will charge a fee for them to enter. Some will allow them to enter if they have an ID showing that they are 18 or older. You need to ask the hotel if they allow local guests to visit you in your room. The hotels that don't allow local visitors will not allow them in, whether they arrive alone or with a hundred people.

I first stayed in Hotels, Suite comfort and TRYP both in Laurles near the stadium, I booked for 2 people and the girl had to show her ID at the desk then she came on up or I went down and got her. Now I stay at Airbnb much cheaper ($25-65 nt) and more privacy (sometimes). I am trying a new Airbnb this trip so we will see.

Motels are different in Colombia, they are short time places used for sex.

No, I just use the Sprint international service.

No SIM card needed.

Balboa is out!

Here in the US Sprint's network might not be as ubiquitous as Verizon and AT&T but their international roaming is excellent. Two years ago Verizon's international plan was so expensive that I had to get a SIM card every time I traveled and it was not transparent- people could tell I was traveling if I called back to US. It was basically $40 for 100 mb data (which is nothing) and perhaps 100 minute talk time and the price of exceeding that was punitive. Sprint's international data roaming is free, although slower than 3G, but the option of buying some megabytes of 4G are available and a hell of a lot cheaper than Verizon's $40 for 100 mb. I just don't need it for wpp and FB in the streets of MDE or where wifi is available. Calls within Colombia or to US are 20 cents a minute.

CF is out!
