Medellin Reports

[KingAmongKings]

Oh and BTW, OM Spa charges 90 k COP per hour. The list says 70 k COP.

I am glad to see that my free casa map is useful to your business. How much are you charging gringos for the Centro casa tour?

Thank you.

I agree and that's what happened to Noah Goldberg who some of you may remember as well. Buy your stuff at the super cheap retail places one of which we take you by on our day tour. Owing money will get you killed here relatively quickly! We have a new massage girl Lina who takes it to whatever level you want to go with nice hammers and of course is in her panties when she gives you the massage! Take a look on the ColombiaJake site.

Thanks,

Jake

Checked this place out today. Not the best ambiance. Shitty lighting. Decent massage. Got whacked off by a girl with a really pretty face. Couldn't understand her name. Dalia?

Anyways, thought I would mention it was 60 k cop for definitely less than an hour and I gave her 20 k cop propina as she was so pretty and gave me light kisses, which sent tingles down the spine.

That price is different than what it is on the Medellin list massage section so maybe it can be updated.

Read this account from a forum (didn't happen to me). Be careful out there folks:

Ouch, that's a depressing story. But there's a few things that I find hard to believe. First of all, this girl is (as claims the storyteller) bringing $1200 worth of her stuff including TWO smartphones, but the guy had to buy her bus ticket? LOL, I guess at the end of the day, if you want the poontang to come to you, the guy has to pay right? Seriously though, I doubt a girl would carry that much expensive merchandise with her to see some gringo she's hooked up with only once before, and to a city she's never been to, and that's known as being dangerous, plus arriving late at night? But even accounting for some naivete on her part, was she a stupid rich girl?, I'm surprised she didn't smell a trap when the taxista beckoned them in.

The general safety rule in Colombia is you never let a driver choose you, you choose the driver!

That's why flagging down any old taxi on the street isn't always as dangerous as people say it is. Remember, crooked drivers aren't usually roaming up and down the city streets, that's a waste of time and gas for a criminal. The bad guys know where to find the money: the folks queuing up at hotels, clubs, shopping centers, and especially bus terminals and airports, so a "driver" is recruited for a few days or weeks who's in it for just a one-time payoff; then once the driver completes a successful setup, he goes underground for 6-12 months until the heat is off him (there are security cameras that can film these crooked drivers in the bus terminals and airports, as the story mentions).

As for this gringo, he comes off sounding like a complete loser, tries to get with a bunch of girls but ends up with almost no action; then the one sure thing he thinks he's going to get explodes in his face. Bet he didn't have much romance with the chica after the robbery.

Guys: here's a tip when dealing with taxistas. You do need to know how to speak and understand Spanish, LOL! Before even stepping in, talk to him. Ask him a few fake or real questions. Establish eye contact. Get a feel for him, crooked people don't like eye contact when they're getting ready to rob you, it's a guilt thing and a positive ID thing as well. If something doesn't feel right, make any excuse and tell the guy maybe later or something else is coming up. Sometimes, the taxi waiting at the front of the line I'll skip, and take the second or third; if he insists or takes offense, just say there's a specific driver you were waiting for.

As a final note, being a crooked driver is a nerve-wracking business, if you think about what's involved. Plus, if the robbery goes wrong in a crazy way, he could end up being killed too, ha ha, so edgy drivers are definitely a HUGE warning sign.

Read this account from a forum (didn't happen to me). Be careful out there folks:

Backstory: I have been traveling Latin American for a continuous 8. 5 months now with no problems. I had already spent nearly 88 days in Colombia with zero violent incidents. The previous 13 days or so, I had passed in the south of Cali in an highly secure apartment in Ciudad Jardin. Cali was to be my last port of call in the country with 90 days in total before heading south into Ecuador over land. I was having a tough time in Cali up to this point, only doing day-game approaches with essentially zero lays (after several dates with some very sexy but flaky women). Spent almost 2 weeks in the south of the city doing strictly day game around the University del Valle area and Unicentro and some parts of the north around Centenario Mall, with only a sloppy BJ to show for it all. Which admittedly is still better than nothing.

That being said, I decided to ship in a young sexy 21 why / o Colombiana from Manizales (I had met about 5 weeks prior) for my last weekend in Colombia. I had a few lukewarm prospects for the weekend but decided on the sure things instead. She had been hitting me up lately with, "quiero verte antes de irte. " So I decided to go for the guaranteed lovin and bought her a bus ticket to Cali.

I met her at the Terminal de Transportes around 10 PM on a Friday night as her bus was actually on time. From here we grabbed a quick snack before making our way over to the taxi line. Take note this is the official taxi line. We did not hail a cab from the street which is generally not advisable in Colombia, even though I've done it several times without incident. There was a single dark-skinned Colombian guy (looked black) in front of us in the line with several other middle-class people with luggage behind us. Red flag #1, when it was time for the black guy to get a taxi, I noticed that the next available taxi actually waved off this black guy and pointed to us to come get in instead. The thought that crossed my mind was about a Chris Rock standup routine complaining how hard it is for a black person to get a taxi in NYC, but otherwise didn't think anything of it.

Red flag #2 - I was instructed to put my girls luggage in the front passenger seat. When I closed the door (a bit too firmly, apparently), the taxista started angrily complaining that I slammed it way too hard. He clearly seemed to be agitated for some reason. I apolgized and was like, "tranquilo, tranquilo. " Anyway, I gave him the address to my hotel and didn't think anything more of the situation.

Red flag #3 - about 2-3 minutes after leaving the terminal, the taxista pulled into a natural gas refueling station to fill up the tank. We were instructed to get out of the car while it was being refueled for our own safety. The taxista then disappeared for a few minutes and returned once the refueling was complete, probably 4-5 minutes later.

Ref flag #4 - we get back in the car and the guy is complaining about how expensive it cost to have to refuel his car (50,000 COP) and about how he has already been working 20 hours straight today. I was starting to now get uncomfortable at this guy's negativity but me and my girl just kinda brushed him off and thought it better to ignore him.

We slowly approach my hostel now and it is probably 10:45 PM. My hostel is located on Calle 5 across from the Library. It is quite dark, there isn't much traffic, but I didn't think anything further. The taxista approached my hostel very slowly as he appeared to be looking at the numbers to see where the hotel was. Eventually, I just said, "this is close enough, we will walk 3-4 buildings. Gracias. " We get out of the taxi, my girl gets our on the opposite side toward the driver's side / street and I get out on the opposite side on the sidewalk / passenger side. Pay the man 20 k and get about 9 k change. I have the change now in my left hand and my girl's wheeled suitcase in my right hand. Close the door gently, and the guy pulls away about 20 ft and stops.

As I turn to my right I see a guy on a motorcycle (engine quietly running) wearing all black clothing and immediately notice a semi-automatic pistol in his lap, full face helmet on his head. Immediately I knew we were fucked. Next thing I know I feel a cold hard metal object being repeatedly rammed into my right shoulder blade. I knew it was a gun (#2). I dropped the taxi fare change to the ground, and we both simultaneously put our hands up. Then, I slowly went for my iphone 4 in my left pocket and just held it up. It was snatched up immediately. I look out of the corner of my eye and I see my girl in a hysterical panic. The girl was now being approached by guy on motorbike #1, gun shoved in her face. The guy takes her huge purse and her wheeled suitcase, when a third guy on motorbike pulls up now and scoops up her suitcase. The guy then starts patting her down with one hand while holding her at gunpoint with the other. From here, I still have a gun in my back, and my guy tells me "Cartera, Cartera. " I reach into my right pocket and give him my moneyclip. From here, the guys slowly walk towards their waiting motorbikes while looking back over their shoulders at us.

Then, they just drive off, while occasionally looking back at us. I grab my girl and we immediately run into the front entrance of my hostel. The robbery is over, although she is absolutely hysterical and can barely breathe.

Overall damage: she lost what amounted to easily over $1200 USD in merchandise. For her, this is about a 3 month salary. Two smartphones, lots of nice clothing, her wallet, bank card, 30,000 pesos in cash, makeup, purse, etc. I lost about 150,000 pesos in cash, my travel bank card, my ID, and a beat-up iphone 4.

Lessons learned / advice from this experience:

(1) Whenever possible, always use easytaxi, uber, or a similar app when calling taxis in Colombia. This will ensure that you have the driver's information in the event shit hits the fan. I personally prefer using public transport when possible, but in a city like Cali this isn't really possible.

(2) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver stop en route to your destination. Taxi drivers are specifically prohibited from doing this during a taxi fare. Didn't know this at the time.

(3) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver be on his phone. People in Colombia are generally very wary / paranoid of a taxi driver on their phone because it is easy for them to tip off some waiting robbers.

(4) If your taxi driver seems agitated or in a negative mood at all whatsoever, get the fuck out of the cab and get a new one. There is no reason you should be dealing with a taxi driver with a bad attitude or bad mood.

Final thoughts.

It turns out we firmly believe that we were set up. The whole thing was planned. When we stopped to fill up the tank, we believe that the taxi driver called in the muscle during the time that he disappeared to use the bathroom. Next day, we filed a police report at the police station in the centro of Cali, then I went to the bus station and we watched the video of the registered taxi line. While at the police station telling our story, one of the clerks just shakes her head, let's out a sigh, and says, "Cali es Cali" (Cali is Cali). She seemed disappointed but completely unsurprised. Luckily, our taxi driver's vehicle was on video and we were able to get his plate number. That being said, it is highly unlikely that there will be any sort of justice done on our case. After talking with the police detective, we realized how swamped and understaffed their office seemed to be. We realize and understand that there will probably be no justice in this case, given how inefficient the justice system seems to be in this country. Lesson learned, and I hope at least one person can learn from this too.

I have not read about any significant, sizeable Asian immigration, but I did about a few waves of Jewish and Arabic (and other) immigrations. It is safe to assume that many Paisas have some blood of native Americans (they will never admitt or accept it). Some theories maintain that the native Americans came from the Asian continent, but it was thousands of years ago Anyway.

Today, some girls tend to like having make up looking like Asian girls. Some girls told me that they try to have eyes looking like Asians.

I saw a few Chinese girls at Chinese restaurants. But they were not good looking at all. I am sure Colombianos don't bother them..

Thanks for the insight Matt!

Thanks mate.

Gave both of those links a go, but all dead ends. I guess for now she really is a goner! If she pops up and someone sees a periscope, drop a line back on the boards.

Thanks for the try.

Cheers!

[Queens35]

I understand about reading the forum, but it's not always easy to search for specific answers. And some people don't have the time to read the entire 250 pages of posts. LOL.

Welcome to the board. Here you go:

Where should I stay? For a first timer, I would suggest to stay at the Mansion. http://hotelmedellinplaza.com/ It's a small hotel, and they have english speakers, and girls are invited there daily to hang out. They are available for sessions in your room. They charge 150k-200k COP (about $50-70) for short time (I've had girls stay with me for 4-5 hours for that price if they are having a good time, not all in the room, go to lunch/dinner, go to a bar, etc)

How's the food? Not a big foodie, so can't comment. But others have said that Colombiam food is bland. Liuke most Latin countries, lots of dishes come with rice.

Where are the girls? Casino, walking around, hotel lobby, night clubs? Forget casino, walking around, hotel lobby (except the Mansion). There are a lot of massage parlors (casa). There is a map posted somewhere in this forum. There are the Mansion girls onsite there. They also can call in girls for you from a big directory that they have. There are a few strip clubs (downtown in Centro are seedier clubs and there are a couple higher end clubs... Fase Dos, San Diego). First timer... forget streetwalkers. They are usually a waste of time anyway.

What's the average price? At the Mansion, the girls charge 150k-200k for short-time. If they quote you more, just say NO GRACIAS! They are trying to scam you. Also, if they mention time, also a red flag. The casas are cheaper. They charge anywhere from like 30k for 30 minutes to 70k for an hour. There are a couple higher end casas that charge more (140k) but the talent is hit or miss, not worth the premium IMO. The centro strip clubs were charging 75k (August last year), don't know what it is now. The higher end strip clubs were charging 180k at the time.

Are overnight stays common? Common? I'd say no, but Toda La Noche (TLN) can be aranged. The Mansion chicas can be had for 200-300k. Again, there will be some that try to gauge and quote 500k. No gracias and move on. Many have kids so TLN may end early (6-7am) so they can go home before the kids notice that they are not home. LOL

What airport do I fly into? Going to Medellin, you will fly into MDE (Jose Maria Cordova International Airport).

[JesseJames1447]

Hi,

Has any one used the MDE airport ATM? There are 2. Based on forums, second floor ATM gives better rates. I was wondering what is ATM limit (maximum withdrawal)?

Any information on ATM is appreciated!

Thanks!

Just used it last night. I used the city bank ATM which allowed a maximum withdraw of 800,000 which I thought was a good amount to get started. When I checked my bank, that was about $280. Hope that helps.

[JesseJames1447]

Can anyone recommend a place to rent for maybe 2-3 nights, that would have its own private pool or jacuzzi. Something to play in with the girls.

http://pobladorentals.com/

I am staying here right now for 10 days. My unit (apt 302) has a good jacuzzi with some great mood lighting too. Lots of the units have Jacuzzi.

There has been a bit of discussion on the Brazil board about girls with Asian features. I couldn't help but think of the numerous Paisas I've encountered with such features. Aside from the known Japanese presence in Peru, does anyone have any anthropological insight into these features being present in Colombia in particular? Aside from that, are there any straight Asian communities in either Medellin or Bogota that have P4P options? Now, I'm a strong believer in the "if you want X, go to X country" mantra, but there's a certain sexiness to a girl ble whose language differs from what you'd expect based on her looks.

What's up BrazilKing!

You fly into Jose Cordova International if you are coming from Brazil or any other country. If you are already in Colombia, you can also fly into Olaya Herrera.

I have a 3 bedroom 2 bath place and a 2 bedroom two bath place here in Medellin. I can rent you a private room in either of my two places depending on when you are coming. Pool, gym, views, well located, secure, etc.

If you are interested let me know. I just arrived here last month, but have done a ton of mongering here in Medellin already. Close to 20 girls. I mongered for the last four years on and off in Curacao at Campo Alegre before coming here.

Regards,

King

Hey fellas,

I want to visit Colombia for the first time. I've been to Brazil and DR so this isn't my first rodeo. I have some of the usual first time questions.

Where should I stay?

How's the food?

Where are the girls? Casino, walking around, hotel lobby, night clubs?

What's the average price?

Are overnight stays common?

What airport do I fly into?

[KingAmongKings]

Hello all,

So I hit up new life again yesterday. Only four girls to choose from as it was closing soon. Went with a very dark skin 20 yo named Azul.

She was real chill. Decent body. Personally I think my body was better at 20 yo haha, but she had a nice butt and decent bags. Covered BJ was OK. As good as covered can be. Went straight to doggy from the BJ as the condom is like shrink wrap for me. Her butt bones killed when I was slamming into her. First time it hurt so bad. Anyways gave her a good pounding.

She kept asking for propina. Of course I said, propina? Que es propina? I am down to give tips if I get BBJ, or something really good. But it was mediocre at best.

Will not repeat due to her potentially lethal butt bones.

[MedellinGringo]

Does anyone have the 411 on a girl that goes by the name of Kelly Paisa? She had a FB site for a while but I had heard she was off the market. Someone said they thought they saw her coming out of the Hawaii Suites hotel on Friday after the game. Is she back available again?

Cheers!

San Jose is typically 80-100 per session.

Maybe for nose pickers and / or monoglots. I have never paid 100 dollars in Costa Rica and never intend to.
