Medellin Reports

[MarquisdeSade1]

I think you are right that the overall risk, even adjusted for population, is higher in Chicago or Mexico. In the end I think it has more to do with whether or not personal circumstances put you closer to the source of the risk. For example, you are at much less risk if you spend more of your time shopping and dining on Michigan Avenue or inside the gates of resort communities in Cabo San Lucas than you are if you are a South Side nightcrawler or you kick it with Sinaloa cartel. Bringing it back to Medellin, guys who allow gaggles of providers they barely know within reach of their valuables, or who wander the streets in an impaired state, are at generally more risk than guys who post up in gringo punter clubhouses and exclusively source their entertainment & supplies from mileroticos and rappi.

But I'm guessing you haven't been to Chicago recently, I live dtown and eat and shop on Mich ave a couple times a week.

And its one of the most dangerous areas of the city right now, criminals like to go where the money is, and the "blk lesbian mayor."

Is shifting many of the cops to the hood to lower the homicide rate there, consequently.

Mich ave is a criminal haven these days!

Eliana giraldo is a clinic right off 70 and 43rd. 100 k and results in a couple hours. Open Saturday.

Actually speakin of Covid Tests where are you all getting a covid test 24 hours before flight back to the USA? Does anyone know of a place in Laureles?

[Balboa]

Not sure why anyone would take chances with low quality women in centro while deed can be conducted in nearby casas like new life, zandalay etc for slightly higher prices in much, much, much better circumstances and with much better looking girls. No need to sweat in the trains, take uber from san peter. Its mere 3 bucks one way. Door to door.

.

Glad you enjoy the casas, however, way to sterile and programmed for me.

It's the hunt and the convo and the possibilities I enjoy from the street.

The diamonds that can be found.

Totally disagree with much better quality / circumstances of casa vs the street.

If you know that you're doing, especially if you speak the lingo and are good at sizing up, etc, the street can be a gold mine.

Obviously to each their own.

Enjoy!

I also enjoy the street below for very early evening. I forget its name, but I call it walking street bcos its the clsoest thing MDE has to a short time street in thailand.

Cra 53 where all the bars and shithole hotels are with the street girls lining the sidewalks.

There was no WIFI.

It was my first hour in Colombia.

I had only 10 K pesos left.

I was really pissed off and getting angry

You don't speak the native language, didn't plan your finances, and you were in a developing country where Internet and Wifi is known to be spotty.

I guess if you were getting mad at yourself, then it would make more sense but still a nonproductive strategy.

Attitudes like yours don't help the image these people already have about Gringos.

You can also order a test on Rappi (for real), someone will come to your place and swab you. You get the result in a few hours, via email or whatsapp.

Your post is very informative, especially for newB. Thanks.

Well I will posit not as bad as Chicago or Mexico!

Oh ya. Latin America is dangerous if you are in a drug bar in a cartel warzone. Course some places are even more dangerous https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/texas-...ting-1.6464315.

Sidenote Question: What is the best pregame spot in Medellin? Place to drink with chicas and warm up before a big night out. A place that is good from the hours of 8 pm to 11 pm?

As others have said, the clubs in centro are perfect that time. Grills nueva has benn my go-to spot for the past few months. Victoria also has its moments. Both very cheap 6 mil a beer, 60-70 mil a chica. Barra ehecutiva is also good but dbl the price for beers and 50% extra for chicas. Better to go ealier for more choice and calmer atmosphere. Things get nore crazy the later it gets.

I arrived at san peters at 11 am and of course room was not ready despite having been told that it might be available. The lady at reception didn't speak a word of English.

There was no WIFI.

It was my first hour in Colombia.

I had only 10 K pesos left.

So you wanted to check in several hours early, had not gotten any pesos at the airport, and can't speak any Spanish. I'd be pretty pissed off too. At myself.

I think they were telling you it may be available just to be telling you that I have never been able to check in to San Peter before 3 pm.

Hi everyone,

First off, thanks for all your contributions to this wonderful community.

I am a relatively new at this and have booked a last minute trip to Medellin, reaching tomorrow, and will be staying in the Poblado area. I went through a lot of pages on this forum and have gotten some very valuable information. My Spanish is very limited and I am a bit overwhelmed with the idea of going into an establishment and going through the communication process. Can you please help me with the following information?

1. Are there any good Massage Parlors in the Poblado area. Or would you recommend massage parlors in another area where I can user to?

2. Is there is any establishment which is not too daunting for someone with virtually no Spanish?

3. Should I be using Uber, Cabify or Didi?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

First off I would like to thank everyone for this wonderful community. I appreciate the amount the time senior members have put in to help others.

I booked a last minute trip to Medellin for 3 days, and will be reaching tomorrow. I have gone through a lot of pages on this forum. I was a bit overwhelmed with the information but I learned a lot. I will be staying in the Poblano area. I am new to mongering and my Spanish is very limited at best, so I am not sure how I will fare in the establishments.

1. Would you please suggest any massage parlors in the Poblano area? Or any other place I can take a cab to? (In the forum I read that Energy was a good one).

2. Is there any other place you would recommend for a new guy with virtually no Spanish? I can use google translate but do the girls have patience for it?

3. Should I be using Uber, Cabify or Didi for transportation?

Thanks in advance!

- Staying in Poblado.

- Spanish. Very limited.

I was inquiring about locations which are pay for play. Something similar to Gustos or La Isla but with working girls and good from 8-11 pm. Just curious if anybody knew a place that was good around that time of night? Has anyone been to the Mansion recently? I have been there before and it is hit or miss but mostly miss around that time.

Firstly, the only thing similar with Gustos an La Isla is that they're both over priced (more so Gustos). One's a nightclub and the other a stripclub. La Isla actually isn't too bad price wise if you go with a couple friends and share a bottle.

Secondly, there's nothing really like either of them at those hours.

Your best bet is probably some of the stripclubs in Centro as Lucky Nuts mentioned. If that doesn't suit you, then maybe a Fb girl or one that you've gotten contact info from at Gustos / La Isla or wherever else you're hanging out at previous nights to come hang out at your place. I wouldn't bother with Mansion unless you can't line one up to pay you a visit.

Good luck and let us know how it works out.

The best evening places are the chica bars in el centro near Plaza Botero. I would usually hit them 6 to 9 pm. They are still going strong later than that but the area becomes less safe later at night. And the metro shuts down so need to take a taxi later. Bars are named conejitos, barra grille nuevo and barra ejecutiva all on calle 53. I would suggest not staying later than the metro shuts down unless you are comfortable and practiced in such areas.
