Posts: 4044This is yet another reason to only engage them via ride share apps. If they deviate from an approved route you can dispute it. Taxistas will intentionally drive into traffic jams so they can relax while the meter runs and lines their pockets.

I believe if someone is asking a stupid question that can be answered by reading a few pages back then that deserves being told to RTFF, however a more complex question deserves the respect of being able to be asked and answered by someone with the knowledge to answer said question.
Now as to the Itagui area, I myself didn't even know there was a street walker area there. Itagui is a more upscale suburb of Medellin along with Envigado and Sabaneta, etc. I usually only go down that way if I am eating at the California Buffet which is off of the ayura station.
I do know there are other streetwalker areas besides just Botero / Veracruz and Parque Lleras / Calle 10. Some of them only have chicas at night though and not during the day. One such area that comes to mind is San Diego / La Cuarenta.

Posts: 4044Yes, unfortunately passing counterfeit money, short changing, and grossly overcharging tourists are very active taxi scams. Two of the best known hotspots where sleazeball taxistas pick up their (usually foreign) victims are the stretch of calle 10 near the Domino's Pizza and the Poblado metro station. Something like ten years ago a taxista gave me a fake 50,000 peso note. After a Claro store refused to accept it I passed it off to a casa. I avoid taxis as much as possible for this and other reasons. They are convenient in certain situations. My advice for using them is to never deal in cash and only book them via didi or uber. If you do this you get the benefit of your credit card issuer to be able to dispute invalid or excessive charges, you have an audit trail in case you need to identify the driver or find a lost item, and you don't have to explain your destination or how to reach it because you can refer the driver to GPS.

You may not like Colombian food but Medellin has a lot of good places to eat. Especially in Poblado there is a wide variety of food choices that are global in nature such as Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Peruvian, American, and Japanese. For Americans, there are a lot of very good hamburger, hot dog, fried chicken and pizza. Places. You may not like Colombian food but you don't have to eat Colombian food. I enjoy eating here. There is also a lot of bakeries.
The number one cheap snack I would recommend are the empanadas. Tasty and under a dollar.
Of course a lot guys here are more interested in eating something else but outside of the bedroom, there are some decent places to eat.

Posts: 208Costs
A week used to cost me roughly 3 K including flights, chicas, stay, food and drink. While I eat street food, I also go to restaurants like El cielo or Ricotto, once a day or every other day. I drink but I am neither a heavy drinker not someone who orders cocktails at every lunch and dinner.
I just did a full month with remote work. It cost me about 8 K for everything. This includes about 80 sessions. Majority of them between 1 to 3 hours, some dinner dates and about a week of overnights. I think I must have spent about 4500 on the chicas, some of it on their transport, food and drink. If I average out, then the session costs are typically about 50 plus about another 15 for transport. If I had the digital nomad visa and lived here long term I believe I would have averaged about 4 K USD in monthly expenses. I have been wingman to weekend warriors who typically blow 1 K for the Saturday night including hookah and bottle and 2 chicas. I have seen people blowing 3 K USD at Park Lleras in a single night so don't sharpen your knives for me. My stay averaged about 1800 in the month and 1 K for flight and other transport related costs. Cost and session quality are not related in IMHO. I think familiarity and long term relationship helps improve session.

Posts: 581El Centro
Taking the Metro to El Centro is relatively easy. If you want to learn how to use the Metro, it is a good place to visit with the Parque Barrio station stop. If you get out and go out left to get to the museums, you can see all the statues. Then make a left at the antiques museum and you are heading to the church, the white church where the street walkers hang out. Make a right and that is the main street where most of the street walkers are.
I was just there this afternoon and this is my impression. The vast majority of the girls there are unattractive, old, chubby or combination of the three. But if there will always be one or two girls who are decent enough for you to screw.
As many have said, if you go in the daytime, it is relatively safe because there are a lot of people roaming around. There are many shops there and the locals go shopping there.
On my last visit to El Centro a few months ago, my experience was basically the same. Most of the girls are not to my liking but I can find one or two that I would take.
As to whether these girls also hang out at Parque Lleras, I think the vast majority do not because they would not attract much business. They are generally not the type of girls that gringos are interested in. After paying for airfare and hotel, most guys are not interested in having sex with average looking girls.
