But just to balance your opinion. I've lived here 5 years, speak Spanish but used to be called "Casper" in the service, so I am an obvious gringo. I have not had a driver try to rip me off in the manner you described. Quite the contrary, I've had drivers accept less when neither of us had change. Some taxis use their phone for GPS others don't. The worse thing I've seen is a driver going off on a non-optimal route and I am happy to speak up. Now I have heard some people here say that getting a cab in Poblado near Parque Lleras is a different animal and that may well be true but I don't fish in those waters.
The ex-pats that I hang with have likewise never mentioned a problem with taxis. One is pretty lazy and speaks less Spanish than a 6 year old. He hands the taxi a card with the address where he wants to go. Even he hasn't ever mentioned a problem.

Posts: 4044I meant a 20,000 peso note. Different denomination, same scam. I agree about late night stops to get change. They usually pull up next to another taxista or go to a gas station. Long story short, I hate taxis.

Posts: 581Safety Issues
There was a recent YouTube video about a young guy who got robbed and beaten at 2 am in Laureles. He was walking back from La 70 to his Abnb apartment on 72, just a few blocks away. He was approached by a robber and he successfully fought him off. But then four of the robber's friends came over and beat him into unconsciousness. He woke up somewhere in El Centro. For some reason they moved him and dumped him there. I would have thought that they would kidnap him and make him withdraw money but they didn't. The YouTuber is still alive and has a few bruises but otherwise will recover.
In his video he showed where he was and where he was going. Well because I have a death wish, last night, Saturday night, at 11:00 pm, I took that route from the bar to his apartment to check it out. At 11:00 pm On Saturday, they were still a lot of people in restaurants and cafes scattered throughout that street. I still felt relatively safe walking that route. But I can see at 2:00 am On a weekday, the places would be closed and they would be no one else around on the streets. That is the point when it can get dangerous.
Now I was walking around without my phone and I just had $20 in my wallet so I had not much to lose. Another point that some would say is that you should not resist the robbery attempt. But for most people who work hard for a living, it is difficult to just hand over your money to someone who doesn't deserve it. Still, the best course of action is to not carry so much money and leave your good phone in your apartment. So when I was walking late at night as mentioned, the most I would have lost is $20 US.
I can also see that happening to people who live in Airbnbs in Poblado a few quiet blocks away from the bars. One solution of course especially late at night so just take an Uber to get back to your place even if it is just a short distance.
We all go to Medellin to have some fun and being robbed and beaten is not something we want on a trip. So you do have to take precautions and not act as if you are just back home because you're not. Medellin can be at dangerous place if you are not careful.

If you ever watch a beauty pageant like Miss Universe, you can easily see the disagreements on who is beautiful. Many times the girls that I think are gorgeous don't make the cut and the girls in the top three, I think may be only sevens.

Posts: 33La isla
Went to la isla last night. Stuck around for 2 hours looking for my 10 but couldn't find anything. Not even a 9. There were a few 8's but none of them tickled my fancy. I know I know, beauty is subjective. Just unimpressed overall is the point I want to make. Now that the clubs in cartagena closed down, where are all the 9's and 10's going? They are not in la isla. They can't ALL have gone abroad. Did they go to Bogota? Someone lead me on the path to 10's please, money is not an issue.

Especially if you are a foreigner visiting Medellin for the first time and haven't been in this situation or have limited espaņol nor know how to tell the difference between a fake note and a real note, this will catch the person off guard and make you think you had gotten the counterfeit from somewhere else. Then the person after receiving the fake 50 mil will then pay with another bill and the taxista may or may not short change them to steal even more money.
I literally almost got into a fight with a taxista in May 2022 when he tried to pull that shit on me. I handed a 20 mil to the dude to pay a 16 mil fare and the idiot handed me back a fake 20 mil saying it was falso and asked me for another one. I quickly replied "ese billete no es mio. Usted lo cambiķ" then the girls and I got out of the taxi and I slammed his car door so hard that it probably damaged something and then the dude sped off. He only got me for 4 mil pesos, my vuelta that I didn't get back.
This is one of the reasons why I don't take taxis anymore. I'd honestly rather fucking walk than take a taxi. But I do like using the metro / metro cable and busses and occasionally picap. I have never met a dishonest bus driver, in fact if you pay for a bus with a 50 mil they will give you back a whole bunch of 2 mil bills.
