Medellin Reports

[Knowledge]

I don't agree that the Dominican Republic is cheaper than Colombia. Depending on your departure location, airfare to the Dominican Republic can be cheaper than airfare to Colombia because there is more competition among the airlines. The Dominican Republic is among the the world's most popular tourist destinations. That demand and the higher percentage of imported goods versus locally produced goods are reasons behind the higher costs for consumer goods in the Dominican Republic. So despite the airfare you will find Colombia affordable once you get there. . As for thick, thin, 1-2-3-4-5-8-9-10, check the pictures here and compare the prices. From cheapest to most expensive, Medellin casas range from US $14 to US $39. GBP is known to be one of Santo Domingo's cheapest casas. The cost there is US $26. It is much more comparable to the US $14 Colombia casas, except in those Medellin casas at almost half the price you will find these things that GBP does not offer: running water, soap, towels. I hope you try both and let us know what you think.

Good question. I forgot to mention I'll be staying around 2 weeks perhaps 3.

I just saw videos of Cartagena Colombia and the beach looks amazing. Theres a lot to consider in Colombia, but its very far apart. In DR, a cruise or taxi will take you where you need to go.

Thanks for your intel.

I tried to PM you but couldn't. Can you open up your PMs or request for access on that.

Says I need a subscription to utilize the PM system. Don't think I'm doing that anytime soon. If its not too much to ask, is it possible to put your info on here? [Deleted by Admin]

Thank you for your consideration. I appreciate it.

I monger in NYC and have been for a couple of years now. Sorry for my lack of respect points on this website but tbh this isn't my forte'.

Anyways, end of August I plan to travel to Colombia or DR strictly for mongering. I am a young guy, traveling solo most likely, speak Spanish, am Peruvian (so I blend in pretty well at least in Colombia), and going to carry $3000 total.

I am leaning towards Colombia because I prefer skinny women but a (expert) monger friend of mine says to try DR because its cheaper and things are closer together.

Taking covid restrictions into consideration, which country do you recommend with my ideals and budget?

I'm a little leas versed with Colombia. I don't know the chica prices. Is it expensive? Where should I land if I want to go to the beach as well? Are the beach and chicas mutually exclusive? I know in DR they come hand in hand. Hotel? Food? What are the prices for those in Colombia. I can defend myself so I don't worry too much about dangers of Colombia.

Anyways, thank you for your help!

As a trade, I can offer monger info on Peru, Lima.

Hi guys,

I've been mongering for about 10 years, in the States and extensively when I lived in Asia. Have never been to South America before and have the chance to line up a 7-day (or so) inaugural visit in the next couple of weeks. I plan to spend it all in Medellin so I've been reading and watching vids to make a plan of action. Really appreciate the work the posters here have put in to give us all assistance. Just Googling things like "guest friendly hotels Medellin" didn't return the amount of results I expected. It is super easy to find all that basic info, on a number of different sites, for the main Asian mongering destinations like the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. So again the help provided here is crucial to me as I work to plan for this mongering trip.

I've seen a couple hotels mentioned here that should be guest friendly: specifically Hotel Nutibara, Hotel Dorado la 70, Hotel Medellin Plaza (Mansion? And Hotel Haven. From the basic research, I was thinking Hotel Nutibara could be the best selection for guaranteed guest friendly, but the "not safe outside after 10 pm" kind of has me thinking twice. I spent a lot of time in sketchy parts of Manila and although pickpockets and swarming street kid picket-pocket "gangs" were an issue one had to be aware of. I never felt or heard anyone suggest that after 10 pm the area near my hotel was a 'no-go zone'. I wonder if anyone with possible experience in a city like Manila would compare the Plaza Botero, El Centro, and the general area around Hotel Nutibara in particular to Manila? When I hear "be off the streets by 10 pm" South American stereotypes of Archer (TV) style paramilitaries jump into my head LOL.

Other than that, appreciate the info in this thread. Looking up flights from where I am in the US, studying about the districts / areas of Medellin overall, the Colombian peso / the cost for the chicas, and generally occupying my restful summer with these plans. Fingers crossed I'll be in Medellin in a couple weeks. Thanks.

Never been to DR so can't comment on that. Was thinking about going recently but there is a curfew there right now, make sure it's lifted before you go there. Prices seem pretty high from the posts I've seen.

As others have mentioned, if you want beaches in Colombia, try Cartegena or Santa Marta. Beaches are crap in Cartegena except for Playa Blanca, and you will be harassed not stop by touts any where you go. Prices for girls in Cartegena were about $70 to $100 for girls in clock tower area pre pandemic. Not sure now. There are several clubs close to the clock tower with similar prices.

Prices vary widely in Medellin. At Faces Dos US $70 for about 40 min, nice rooms. At La Isla US $100 for 1 hour, nice rooms. Hotness of girls vary greatly but you can find some stunners here. In the Centro area, girls are US $20 or $3 o. Difficult to find hot girls in centro though. If you stay at the Mansion Hotel, it costs about $100 to bring the girl to your room. At Gusto at parke Llierass, $100 to $200 or more, but I would avoid as it's a ripoff. Street hookers in the actual park US $70 to $100.

In Bogota prices differ greatly between north or south or city. The north is the rich area so the clubs are more expensive. The main red light district is the Santa Fe area in the south. This is in a ghetto area. Lots of girls here with lots of hot Venezuelans. Girls are US $25 for 20 minutes. You can pay extra for extended time.

This is the main area you want to stay at on a small budget. There is one mid level club in Chapinero called LA49 but girls are US $100, so not worth it. There are several clubs in the north, but the one with the hottest girls is Lidos. It costs $70 just to take a girl from the club and girl will probably charge $150 short time or $300 all night. These numbers could vary quite a bit based on the girl. So you are paying close to US prices, but with much hotter girls than you could get in the US for similar prices.

Hotels are pretty cheap in Bogota right now, you can get decent places for $30/ night and very nice places for $70/ night. I would guess this is cheaper than DR. Food is cheap, prices for normal food is negligible and high end restaurants are also pretty reasonable. Uber is ridiculously cheap, like $5 for a 45 minute trip across town.

I prefer Santa Marta in Colombia. Its cheaper all round, its got great beaches, plenty of chicas, everything in walking distance, safer. In fact it makes up for lots of the advantages that DR would have over MDE.

I imagine downtown MDE is similar price to Santa Marta, but TBH I know where I would rather spend a holiday. By the beach, or constantly looking over my shoulder and dodging taxis.

How long do you expect your USD 3 k to last?

Good question. I forgot to mention I'll be staying around 2 weeks perhaps 3.

Are the beach and chicas mutually exclusive?

You can go to Cartagena.

I did do some basic duo lingo a few days before and relying on Google translate beyond that. My go to phrases right now are "hola", "gracias", "cuanto cuesta", "ok", "vamos", and "no hablo Espanol" LOL. But yeah the problem is that I can't understand any conversation because of the accent and how fast people speak.

You don't need it, I just use google translate and get by in Colombia just fine.

So my advice to everyone is again.

'Never let your guard down'.

I don't disagree with you at all. I am a potential target like everyone else and I always have my eyes open. But I don't believe I am any more of a target for being a foreigner, that's all. *kisskiss*.

[Daga2222]

First time in Medellin. Just visited Loutron and holy shit. It's expensive but definitely a must visit at least once. The way they have the line up of girls come out and present themselves is something out of a fucking movie. Every girl either a 8, 9, or 10. It's about double the cost of a standard lay in Poblado and not exactly GFE, but I can finally say I fucked a solid 10. I really don't think it can get much better.

If the girls provided full GFE, I would not look twice at the price. This is my type of mongering. No BS. No wasting time searching for a decent looking girl, or waiting for a girl who shows up 2 hours late. Just solid 10's quite literally fucking spoon fed to you. Wow.

[Just Incognito]

I'll be back during the flower festival, does anyone have any recommendations on things to do during.

I was there 2-3 years ago. Cool event. Go to the botanical gardens and to the flower farm in Santa Elena. Lots of events -street fairs, parades, the classic car parade etc all over town for a week or so. Day and Night. Your hotel front desk or Air BNB host will know where things are happening.

One day, I met up with a Tinder girl at the Botanical Gardens-its right off the Metro, so made it easy to met up, check our vibe, and decide if we wanted to hang out. She was a total babe-better in person than in photos and she could maintain a conversation with me in Spanish. A rare good tinder experience that turned into an all nighter with her sexy 'friend' meeting up with us that evening LOL. Made me like the flower festival.

Centro Comercial Santa Fe and some of the other malls had cool flower displays and flowers all around. Like I said, your hotel front desk people or airbnb host will let you know where / when events related to the festival are happening.

There were an insane amount of people at the classic car parade and at the main flower parade when I was there--like everyone packed into each other crazy tight in the streets everywhere--it was funny and ridiculous how crowded some events were-I don't know how that works or could happen this year--especially with the lack of vaccines in Colombia so far.

I don't know if it changed or the person was in bad mood, but back in April the Premier Plaza didn't allow me in with laminated copy of passport (it never happened before), so since then I was using Zona Rosa.

I have a friend who had the same experience as you and he won't patronize the place. Seems as though maybe in the past a newer staff person might not have been instructed as to what to accept at the time, but I have never had a problem with a photocopy only of my ID. And it seems as though up until recently they didn't even keep a written log of short time guests either. And as your aware, Zona Rosa doesn't even check ID's as long as the Chicas appear to be of legal age, at least that has been my experience there, but I'm a preferred customer as I tip all the help 1,000 Pesos each, and when I check in with one of my skanks, they automatically given me a second towel and bar of soap without asking. LOL.

[VsebudetNY]

Some of the ST hotels in El Centro, like the Premium Plaza or Calle Real will not allow you in unless you have an ID and your Chica does which they record in a log. Get a couple of color copies of your Passport and have them laminated to carry with you.
