Medellin Reports

[PeterStud]

Can someone tell me what I should be paying for an airport cab to Hotel Central Plaza around midnight? My flight gets in late and I have not been to Medellin before. Are some cab companies more trustworthy than others? Pointers are appreciated given the late arrival.

Hotel Central Plaza is in the Mayorista strip in Itagui and it is not in Centro. To save money, I would recommend first take the airport bus or taxi-collectivo (10-15 k pesos) to San Diego, where local taxis should be lined up for passengers even after the midnight. Then, take the local taxi to Mayorista. I've done it before and it is lot cheaper than taking the taxi from the Rio Negro (MDE) airport to Mayorista (60-70 k pesos). When you arrive at the Mayorista strip, you would see lots of chicas looking for clients even after the midnight. I hope this would help. Good luck.

Unlike in the US, Christmas Eve is a major party night in Colombia and throughout South America. That's not necessarily great for the hobby, but it's not like girls are all home knitting with grandma. If you have only a few days to visit and plan to stay the 24th-25th-26th, sure, that could be frustrating, but if you are making a visit of a couple weeks or more during the holidays, I don't think it will be much of an issue, especially if you have multiple methods of finding girls. I've spent many in NYs here and neighboring countries.

I have arrived as early as 12/26, but generally 12/27 or 28. I found that to be a fine week to be there. Perhaps it is because the chicas pockets are empty after buying Christmas gifts they cannot afford, and now looking for something to replace it with. LOL.

Did you not see MIDNIGHT? You do not want to be dropped off in Centro with luggage on your first trip at MIDNIGHT!

First trip probably not. Subsequent trips when I know where I am going, sure. It all depends on your comfort level. I have never arrived at midnight, but I have left to go to the airport on the 4 am bus. No problems for me. Another member arrived at 10 pm a few weeks ago for his first trip. No problems for him either. He did meet a chick that told him to get to the hotel as fast as he could though. I'm sure he will give us reports when he gets a chance.

Many of the guys saying no are probably guys who have never done it as well. No problem DATY and barebacking strange pussy, but I see that being dropped off downtown is where some folks draw the line. LOL.

I would not recommend it or do it unless money is so tight that a taxi is not affordable. In that case, I would recommend staying home and saving money until there is enough to travel safely and comfortably. Few if any of us are backpackers.

Hello?

And you are recommending this and you have never done it, but you have "debated it with guys?"

And it is super cheap?

I have personally taken this bus from Centro to the airport. In the daytime! After living in the city for a couple of months! With a back pack only! It was still not a comfortable experience while waiting, although once on the bus it is fine. And I am fluent in Spanish and have been all over Latin America. You should not be recommending this without having any idea of what it is actually like.

Jesus fucking Christ.

From one of the most knowledgeable and experienced members on the entire ISG. Might be a Dickhead, but what he shares and contributes is priceless.

So true. And a taxi is not only safe and comfortable, but also cheap for US standards: only 60 k (standard fare), which is 15 USD.

[Davidb3069]

55-65 k pesos.

Thank you everyone for the info. I rarely would do a bus in the day in most countries. The 60 k info keeps me from being ripped off.

Shared mini bus or a full sized buss for SUPER cheap. I've never taken it but I've debated it with guys before. Key word search Bus Airport or Colectivo and it should pop up. It's like $4 USD and it drops you right in Centro I believe.

Damn, what did those "regular" girls do to you to drive you to P4P?

They started leaving empty spots on my fuck calendar. So I filled in the available time slots with prepagos.

I guess I could start banging women in their thirties but I'm not old enough to go there yet.

[LookingToSwing4]

Lights on Rio or not, I wouldn't advise MDE between Christmas and NY's. I don't know where you went in Cali, but there are tons of hot Calenas and from Dec 25-30, the City is more alive than at any other time of year.

My only complaint with Cali is that there are too many silicone tits and asses (yes even more than MDE).

This statement, not to visit MDE between Christmas and NY, is less than accurate. I have traveled there at least 5-6 times in the days that immediately followed Christmas, and there was PLENTY of action. Never been there before Christmas, but suspect it slows considerably on 12/24 and 25 as they spend time with their families. But after that, it is FULL-ON! NYE is a bit strange as most will opt to spend time with their families, until about midnight. But I have never had a problem getting a quality date for a NYE party. Unsure if the casas are operating because I am not a casa guy, but freelancers are readily available.

I think the standard rate for a cab from the airport is still 60 K pesos. Any taxi at the airport should be safe. Uber will cost 75 K, but if you find a promo and open a new account, it will end up a bit cheaper, plus you can pay with a credit card and it's a classier ride.
