Posts: 90This guy is lucky to be alive to tell his story
Watch this guy's story that happened recently in Cali, Colombia. Same scenario can happen in Medelland. He's very lucky to be alive. Let this be a learning lesson to everyone.

Posts: 4026I doubt they will be left up anywhere in the city. As best I could tell, when the barriers were up the crime was concentrated against their exterior. I agree that now that they are gone it will again be necessary to remain alert and aware of your surroundings while in the park. I prefer it that way because it was super inconvenient to have to double back behind the church to get into the plaza after a quick run past the bars. The barriers were never sustainable. They were an unsuccessful political stunt aimed at propping up the doomed re-election campaign of the last mayor. I should not delve too deeply into local politics but it is a big part of the barrier story. Ex mayor Quintero may face jail time once Petro is out of office and no longer able to protect him. We can meanwhile expect to see a firmer law enforcement hand by the incoming mayor Fico.

As someone who has been mongering in the plaza for several years before the barricades and during the 11 months with the barricades, I can assure you that it was much better before the barricades.
I remember chicas used to line the area from the tostao to the church on both sides by the entrance to the CC Veracruz and on the side by Premier Plaza (or whatever the FK they call it now). There also used to be alot of chicas around the horse statue and several other statues too and it was much easier doing laps around the church and the bar street and come back down again to see who might have been missed on the first go around.
And all the stupid tourists with their families weren't there to get in the way. And if you wanted a single cigarette you didn't have to walk outside the barriers to buy one from a vendor.
I'll be heading down there tomorrow to check it out, I look forward to Botero Plaza getting back to normal. God knows it's about time.

P.S. If you don't do your research, I'll be looking forward to your post-wakeup without any belongings report.
P.S.S. Yes, I get the sarcasm... ;-)

Posts: 80Thanks and Casa Question
Thanks for the tips! I'm totally fine with adequate lodging since it comes with the benefit of quick / convenient access to the ladies (which is my main focus). Do you have any recommendations on specific casa's to visit? I do prefer the more personal touch rather than the business oriented approach. In Europe (specifically Scotland / UK and Germany) I've enjoyed the spa experience of walking in and being greeted by the ladies and having my pick so to speak. I assume that is what the casa experience is like. If I am wrong, please correct me.

Posts: 108Upcoming first time Medellin trip
Hello,
I have a trip planned soon and I'm a man in my early 30's decent looking, decent spanish, wanted to know what would be the best option for me if I wanted to find the thick busty colombians I see online?
Better to hit the strip club, massage places or just go in the street bars and try to get a chat with them?
I have looked online and ngl every girl I've seen on those dating website was below 5/10, (the escort websites too) so where can I find the real baddies? I have read other people posts but it just seems its always a hit or miss situation. Can anybody show where to hang? The type of girls I really look like her https://twitter.com/honeyybeebby?lang=en..
Thanks!

Posts: 561Barriers
The barriers with police monitoring the entrance / exit were a very good thing. I felt much safer inside them than outside. Now all the mongers who were complaining about them for some dumb reason can start complaining about the increased crime in those areas. I hope they leave them up in Provenza because I will be there this month.

Now you have the Jalisco cartel, and they have no such limits and will kill or kidnap anyone anywhere. I suspect it was one of their operatives who killed a man in the Hyatt in the Cancun area and scared the shit out of everyone. One hopes that the no killing boundaries in Mexico that the Sinaloa cartel established are restored, but it is up in the air right now. Apparently, Jalisco is getting stronger.
Still, you can see in part what causes crime is the attitude of law enforcement. We just saw in San Francisco pols address the homeless problem when Xi came to town. The single worst area I have ever seen in my life for muggings was in Rio de Janeiro Brazil in the early 2000's. Brazil got the World Cup and Olympics and are told they need to clean up their streets and apparently they did. All of a sudden the government started to care if tourists got mugged.
The ultimate test for me and women is if I had to hide my wallet or put it into a safe versus trusting the woman and leaving it out in the open. You would think leaving your wallet out is a sure sign you are going to get burned, but I only misjudged one woman in Colombia on this. What I found was this huge gap in trust. Some Colombian women were so trusting of me they fucked me without asking for a penny and there were others who would rob me blind in a second. Colombia was so binary.
If the police do not care if people get mugged, then Medellin, Colombia is in that early Rio 2000's period IMO. What is sad is that Venezuela used to be the country with property rights and prosperity and Colombia was the black sheep of the family. The roles reversed, and Colombia has come a long way, but IMO I just wonder if they are slipping back to their old ways. It sure seems like it. IMO Colombia really is at a crossroads right now.

Posts: 54"Lardon" is also a typo for "ladron" -- which makes a lot more sense in Spanish.

Posts: 4026If I remember correctly, the police station barriers went up during the tax reform riots just after the pandemic. Those crowds got pretty squirrely at times. Alpujarra and the surrounding area was heavily paint bombed. I'm glad the barriers are gone and I'm glad the riots died down. I reckon Fico will bring down the Poblado barriers as well in order to officially declare the end of the Pinturita era.

Last week I saw a lardon on a bike getting captured thanks to those barriers and the robbed guy yelling and chasing after him.
It was an improvement and made for safer and more relaxed mongering in the area.
Well, que pena, it was nice while it lasted, now back to the head on a swivel, especially after 6.
