Medellin Reports

[JamesPearle]

Been a few years since my last visit. What's the best method of travel these days? If priority is safety and comfort.

Uber, taxis, or other?

Reco to stick with one company or driver the length of stay?

The tranvia literally does not enter or pass through Boston. There is one casa I am aware of along the route of the tranvia. The nearest stop would be San Jose and it is diagonally across the tranvia tracks from the San Ignacio park plaza. It used to be called Estambul; you can find it on the various maps published on this website. Boston is north of the tranvia route (Ayacucho aka calle 49). Parque de Boston is a lower key, more mixed use version of Parque de Periodista. In other words, weed and other drugs are sold and consumed somewhat less openly than at "Stoner Park. " There are no casas that I am aware of in Boston. The casa nearest Boston would be Aiffe. It and all the others in Centro are across the southern border of Boston. Like many neighborhoods that aren't gringo intensive, Boston's character changes in a bad direction after dark.

Stay in the Boston neighboorhood, spanning from around carr 46 to carr 30, from calle 60 to around calle 40.

Stay by the tranvia, it's literally the best neighboorhood. Casas everywhere you turn..

Hi,

Apologies for a basic question, but which FB group are you talking about? I noticed a lot of people here use facebook. Is it a main hub that I'm not aware of? Or just a regular escorts website?

Thanks.

Search Facebook on this section of the forum, you'll find lots of info on how to use facebook in Medellin. Basically you need to get chicas as friends, on your friend list, and go from there.

You should also be aware that Parque de Periodista is also known as, "stoners park".

Haha, but it is nothing like what he saw. He may even like it.

Thank you. I looked up Parque del Periodista and it is a convenient spot, near the casas.

Or add a day; or even weeks in some cases. I left Medellin on the 4th and some chick that was supposed to come hit me up 3 days ago.

I got a message from a chica the day I arrived. She looked good so I sent a follow up. I got a response 8 days later as I was leaving. I just laughed. Par for the course for Medellin.

This is one of the few times when I wish the board software quoted the quotes from the original post along with your replies (or I wish I wasn't too lazy to do it myself).

I tried monogamy, 3 wives, 3 divorces, along with several long term monogamous (supposedly) relationships. The only relationship which made me content was when we were swingers, but that girlfriend created too much stress.

After trying to find a replacement with all the advantages and none of the stress, I realized the source of the stress. Me. It was all the baggage I grew up with, telling me I needed 1 woman, blah, blah, blah.

When I was reminiscing about the best ones, I realized I didn't want them as they are now. I wanted them as they were then, in their 20's looking their best. I don't want to grow old with someone and do the happily ever after crap. Instead, I want to enjoy my moments and know that somewhere, some girls are remembering me fondly.

I finally understood that several years ago when the daughter of my first wife and the girlfriend who came after, both contacted me. The ex-wife had died and apparently had spent most of her life regretting the breakup. The girlfriend, now a grandmother, called me one of the great loves of her life. I'd rarely thought about either woman in decades.

Now, I have a few women who I'm comfortable with, about 40 years younger than me (60 is just around the corner). I've got another dozen who I can be comfortable with for several hours along with several hundred I can enjoy for long enough. When I'm done with them there's no breakup bullshit. Nobody has to pack up and move, no paperwork, no months of stress, just a simple "chao."

True that!

Greetings! Just finished up my sixth trip to Medellin over the last year and, as others have noted, the mongering hordes have made it not quite what it was a year ago. Taxi drivers (especially near Lleras) are more crooked, chicas are raising prices (slightly), and it's certainly not the buyers market that it was. Still, there's great value to be had. New bars and restaurants are opening, and things look noticeably different than a year ago on my first trip. I mostly sessioned with 2 FB chicas that I've known for the past year, but managed to add 3 new FB chicas this trip. 12 sessions total this trip. My sessions were limited to nighttime only, as I had to work during the day. I'm not a Centro guy.

My sessions were limited to nighttime only, as I had to work during the day. I'm not a Centro guy.

Location (s): Stayed four nights for the first time at San Peter Apartments in Laureles. If you don't mind some noise, it's an ideal location. Chica friendly. No guest fees. Only limit is based on the number of people booked for the room. Chicas must check in and out with the front desk. I was on the 12th floor in an Airbnb. Wi-Fi was good, but still a decent amount of noise from the bars and clubs around.

Next four nights were at Loma Verde Apartments in Poblado. I like staying there for the pool and the quiet. But, it's 100 mil per chica after the first chica. If you've got one chica coming over a number of nights, it's great. The two who visited me were impressed with the apartment. If you're having multiple chicas over per day, I'd recommend staying elsewhere. Costs will get prohibitive.

Chicas: As I said, my sessions were limited to nighttime. I will say that all chicas had a propensity for tardiness. Even more than usual. As others have commented, if a chica tells you a time, add an hour. I found myself adding 1.5 hours on more than one occasion. I put my initial post up on FB on Sunday and had about 20-25 responses within an hour. A few quoted 300 mil plus taxis. I just wished them luck. I'm not paying those prices. I sessioned with all 3 new FB chicas at San Peter. All were 200 mil, good service, 2 went for BB and the other required a condom. One was a genuine squirter. Multiple hours and pops from each. For newbies, tell them exactly what you want. Whatever it is, the chicas have heard it before. If you don't specify exactly what you want before she arrives, you will likely get up charged. For me it's simple. 2 leches, mamada sin condom, sexo natural, 2 horas. And, as others have said, have some snacks and drinks. Smirnoff Ice (green) tend to be popular. And bring or buy a portable speaker if you can. All of these chicas love their music. Get her to dance a little between sessions.

As for my regulars, went out to some clubs in Poblado (one was a Hookah bar on the other side of Lleras from Gusto's) they wanted to visit with friends. It's always a good time and, like always, we usually take home one of their amigas after the night for a trio. 200-250 k depende.

A few things to note. Prices are going up. You can tell just on restaurant menus where prices have been crossed out. It's still an incredible value compared to the States, just not quite as good as before. I also found myself using Uber more this time. The taxi drivers (especially at night) have gotten atrocious. You get into the cab and the meter is off. I immediately ask cuanto cuesta? He tells me 20 mil for a 5 mil ride. Screw that. I tell him 10 mil (I shouldn't have even offered that) or nada. He lets me out. I take an Uber for 5700. Just my experience, but for anyone coming in for their first time, check the taxi meter when you get in, especially near Lleras.

Good luck to all!

I no longer use cabs unless it's my regular guy picking me up at the airport.

Ubers are the best way to go.

As far as sellers and buyers market it's always a buyers market if you're willing to pay a little bit more.

And if you stick to the 200 mil max range then it will be a sellers market.

Once SEA opens back up I think it will help a little.

I make it clear to women that they have to appear at the agreed time or contact me in advance to postpone. When they don't, I move on to another option such as a casa or the streets. Being a Centro rat, more often than not an appointment is usually plan be if I don't go the street route. Casas are usually last resort since they are always available with no waiting.

Or add a day; or even weeks in some cases. I left Medellin on the 4th and some chick that was supposed to come hit me up 3 days ago.

Sometimes the meter is off but turns on once you get started. If not, then just tell him to turn on the meter once you start rolling instead of asking a price.

Well, yes, that is mostly true. It sounds like the original poster might have found himself in Prado which is a sort of concentrated version of Centro. On the side of the original poster I will say I agree with the motorcycle behavior he described. It's gotten worse the past few years; motorcycles heed stop lights on a part time basis only. It can be confusing and dangerous if you aren't accustomed to it. They just blow through red lights unless their path is blocked.

Looking for a 'relatively safe area' in El Centro would be a lot like looking for the world's tallest midget. What you saw is what you get and either you can handle it or you cannot.

[Osteoknot]

Can someone outline a relatively safe area at el centro and post it on the photo gallery board?

That is there are multiple different venues to monger and anyone can form their own mix or hybrid model of how they want to pay for play here.

I have walked thru the worst areas of El Centro at all hours sticking out like a sore thumb, dressed in an Adidas track suit and wearing a shoulder bag. Never had a problem. But by just feeling you are out-of-place is enough to make you a target and then you are rightly avoiding the area.

I take out and use my cellular all the time sitting in the middle of Ground Zero. Usually without about 2-3 minutes, I can sense a young fit Colombian male eyeballing from over one of my shoulders who looks like he could run the 100 meter dash in about 11 seconds. In other words no one is going to catch him after a snatch and grab. Then I put away my phone and or move to a new spot. Plus, I have been very lucky and I hope I don't jinx myself by writing this, jaja.

The point is, we call can be overly cautious or not cautious enough but you should not behave in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable because that is the first step of what makes you stand out as a target. Generally, it is a good idea to stay in your comfort range.

[DriftClouds]

I think you walked in one of the worst areas in el centro. There are small bar / casa type place near the university. For place to stay, you can find the location of New Life and look for airbnb around the area. Or find Parque del Periodista and look for airbnb in the direction away from el centro

Thank you. I looked up Parque del Periodista and it is a convenient spot, near the casas.
