Medellin Reports

[Gabacho]

Thanks for the response & info. Any other hotels besides Nutibara in the area?

- I heard of hotel pasaje but the only concerns with a cheaper hotel for me are: mold / pests & security from the cleaning staff / other guests.

I am used to paying 35 k-50 k cop a night outside of medellin so Nutibara now seems expensive to me. It's nicer hotel of course.

Thanks.

There are numerous hoteles that fit your budget on El Palo con Maturin and El Palo con El Huevo and the surrounding area. Hoteles that come to mind are Casa Real, Buen Samaritano, and Hotel Zeus among others.

Prices range will be 40 mil to 50 mil per day and they are all within walking distance to Plaza Botero. Rooms are generally small but clean, don't expect air conditioning only a fan, there might be hot water sometimes, and an occasional cockroach or two. But other than that the rooms will be decent for the price range and close to the action.

2. Make them turn off their cell phones and lock them along with any of their belongings into something which you can lock. If you do not bring locks and haven't thought about this DON'T visit anywhere in LATAM. Just plain ignorant, unprepared and untravelled to travel here.

Good advice but I'm not sure I follow the logic on number 2. Is this a typo? Obviously, guys should lock up anything they brought that has value. But locking HER stuff up with a lock you have? I'm not sure how we benefit safety-wise and I can see that causing a problem more often than not. Maybe I'm reading it wrong. Or maybe I've been the ignorant one. LOL.

...... always wear a hat so not a "dead" giveaway .......

The hat thing is something I've often contemplated. The problem is that Colombian men do not wear hats so I would stand out for the very reason of wearing a hat and having stood out for that reason my gringoism will come to the fore. Its a pity that Colombians do not wear hats as that's a good way of being incognito.

It is implied that the police would arrest him. ....

Yea, a generous five percent maybe depending on what you do.

... It's an uncenssary hassle regardless,

95%.

Well Hotel Nutibara is perfect for you. And street girls near hotel nutibara in Plaza Botero ask 50 000.

First of all I suggest arriving with a cheap cellphone because it's quite possibly going to disappear at some point. The iPhone which I brought with me (and which was promptly lost to a pickpocket) was an iPhone 8 with a cracked screen and one camera didn't work. A Samsung Galaxy A03 is a perfectly decent phone costing about $110.

On the other hand, they might stab you for making them go through all the trouble of stealing such a cheap ass phone from you. I suggest bringing an expensive phone so at least your life will not be taken over something so cheap.

If she serviced both of them and they refused to pay they should be jailed. Why not? It's police business when there are rapes and sexual assaults including refusal to pay as agreed.

They did pay but she said it was less than they agreed. I side with the guys. These chicks are scammers.

[CeeJay1]

Makes no sense. It's not the police business. These countries are so backward.

Absolutely, especially when there's no transaction or beforehand discussion why you're even meeting. It's like it is what I say or think it is, regardless of what it actually even is. Due process there is through pesos and charge cards.

I carry very little, speak good basic Spanish and always wear a hat so not a "dead" giveaway I am a gringo.

I am 6'1" (185 cm), blue eyes and I'm not really white, I am actually pink. Swedish / German background. I am working on my Spanish. I just signed up for a really interesting website called lingopie where you learn a language while watching movies and TV programs. I'm not giving up. However I am afraid that my physical appearance is going to give me away no matter what. I think that in Medellin I have a bright flashing "gringo" sign on my forehead. Which sometimes is good. I think that Colombian women are kind of interested in gringos. However unfortunately so are robbers.

[Cocr Brotheler]

I am aware of it. It has been discussed. It's the presentation. LOL.

It's also because the human waste and any poo paper do not go to sewage treatment plants instead directly into shit river Rio Medellin (like shit river TJ or shit river Olongapo, P.I. etc.) and / or if they do send to sewage treatment plants these do not have in-line waste grinders.

Yum pleasant stuff to discuss on a working girl board LOL.

Related to the safety discussion I try blend in and avoid anything touristic down there. Before or after a good session in El Centro I can just sit at the bottom of Metro San Antonio stairs and chill and watch people but ONLY during the day. I carry very little $ and mostly in a money belt, no dar la papaya, speak good basic Spanish and always wear a hat so not a "dead" giveaway I am a gringo. And having basic street sense keep moving when feel eyes on you a great great asset.

I become "one" with the City and the City Primavera Eternal so far has placed her blessings upon me.

In Jesus name I pray amen for the gift of young, hot, nubile, firm CO womens!

Ewww I hate it when a 65+ year old Gringa in the U.S. sets her eyes on me.

[Cocr Brotheler]

Seriously sage advice Texas Pistol!

Is what I do out of habit hobbying during the days then staying in or near my room at night NEVER trying to get dates from social media. Maybe if I there long term and can learn how to filter out the bad ones I could do social media however I love daytime brothels and potential contacts for P4P outside them! However need to speak at least basic Spanish to do this.

I want to live to see another day!

For bros dating chicas off social media:

1. DO NOT allow them to bring another chica with them into your abode.

2. Make them turn off their cell phones and lock them along with any of their belongings into something which you can lock. If you do not bring locks and haven't thought about this DON'T visit anywhere in LATAM. Just plain ignorant, unprepared and untravelled to travel here. Of course many other places around the world could have issues as well.

I only need a bed, own bathroom and basic wifi.

Mandala Botero (booking.com) is cheaper and closer (next to the metro). Casa Botero is ground zero. Nothing is closer and a little cheaper still. Do not stay in the back because noise from the bars until 2 am. Not on hotel websites Inbetween the museum and the church with big balcony. Calle Real (booking.com) super close. Overpriced for the value in my mind. Visit all 3 and view rooms in less than 1 hour.

I was going to send private message but you have not paid. Pay the membership.

About safety in Medellin, I think that people's opinions depend a lot upon their personal experience. If someone has been the victim of an armed robbery or a drugged robbery, then Medellin is a war zone, the most dangerous city on earth. If they have not, then Medellin is not bad, just don't do anything stupid. The truth is probably somewhere in between. However this is a poor city in a poor country with weak law enforcement. You are not in Kansas anymore.

Don't carry a lot of cash or use ATM's more than necessary. Most places take credit cards.

Run shopping errands and visit ATMs between 7:00 am and 10:00 am. Criminals are sleeping because they stay up late.

For sex, go to brothels (aka casas or erotic massage spas). Get to and from the brothels using Uber.

I realize that many people enjoy the late night clubbing and picking up girls at clubs and bringing them back to the airbnb or hotel room. If that's your thing and you must do it, I can completely understand that, however realize that your risk of a very bad experience is greatly increased. No one knows what the odds are exactly, but in exchange for that experience you are taking a risk.

[TexasPistol]

Can you give me a little more detail when you say "the Casas" please? In South America I've only been to a few of the "Strip" clubs in Quito Ecuador so when you say "casas" what are you referencing and can you give me a few good ones to choose from pleas?

Google "Salones de Masajes Erticos Medellin".

I would choose any of them at random and if you aren't happy, then take an Uber down the street to the next one. There are a lot of amazing girls out there who will give you a great time, in a safe place, for 200K per hour. That's about $50. I don't think any place in the world can beat that.

[DoomBringer321]

I think you will have to wait a long time to see that.

Do not believe it for a second the violence did not decrease it just stayed off the headlines because Escobar got whacked and the rebels surrendered but the US still buys coke so the power vacuum created new players but people believed the hype hence the amount of foolishness going on.
