Medellin Reports

[Buffed]

Looking for a wingman, new friend to explore with. Its not my first trip, so I have knowledge of the city, underground spots and how to save money.

KainNYC,

I'm in Medellin for an indefinite time period so if you or any other board members need a wingman get in-touch.

Be sure to read the comments below the article, many are tired of gringos in Colombia for sex.

In other news, back in November Cuba Dave got 5 years prison sentence in Costa Rica.

Wow. It's kinda fucked up to say, but lucky him. I have no idea how he would have survived too long in a Colombian prison known as a gringo that introduces sex tourist to minors. Thanks for sharing this article with us so that we could all finally close the chapter on this.

As for the comments, try not to give too much credence to those hypocrites. Remember, we could not monger there if there were not an sex industry infrastructure already put in place by the locals. As another member here said, we are a tiny fraction of people who partake. The other 99.99 percent are the local Colombianos.

You can do it the easy way and go to the Mansion.

Or.

Visit a bookstore (or go online) and pick up a basic Spanish language course with CDS (much cheaper than the better Pimsleur courses). Use the books along with the CDS. That's important, because you need to make the connection between Spanish spelling and pronunciation. Otherwise you'll be baffled when trying to translate "ah ee", which is spelled "hay. ".

I like to hunt my prey it just tastes better, so I would pick the second choice plus Mansion sounds like where they overcharge the lazy or rich tourist. Can you go to mansion just pick a girl and take her to another hotel? I actually do understand the very basic phrases of introducin myself with name or where is that? But beyond the language I was just curious if a tourist is a target in streets, but your post has made feel better about, it looks like like Medellin is just any like other place in the world where you need common is sense. At least the Escobar times of kidnapping and shootouts are over. That's good hear.

I actually found your post on a typical convo with a girl in Spanish a couple pages back that I can apply. And surprisingly I do understand most of it just by teaching myself around the internet. At least in written form don't know how I would fare with a fast talker.

Got to learn the numbers now and couple phrases to deal with Cap drivers and I should good for basics. BTW, is english almost non-existed amongst the cap drivers and the locals? I do hope after couple of days I find a honest translator amongst locals or girls that show me around even for rent.

A Colombian girl I found on Tinder actually told me her friend is a guide and speaks Englishl, so might give that a shot.

Here is the amazing and hilarious post by you:

-Hola, como estas?

-Bien y tu?

-Muy bien gracias.

-Como te llamaS? Or Cual es tu nombre?

-Me llamo xxx.

-Ahhh (insert her name), bonito nombre para una mujer hermosa!

-Gracias!.

You could try Cartagena which is a tourist city and lack of Spanish won't hurt you as much. Just grab a Spanish phrase book to start with. Otherwise, there's the so called Mansion with its own forum in the blogs section.

Good luck.

Sounds good but I more intrigued about Medellin by reading this forum.

They could easily make it so prostitutes cannot serve anyone who is not Colombian, but the truth is 95% of the sex industry customers in Colombia are Colombians themselves. A very small portion are foreigners.

A lot of useful info here.

I would love to visit Medellin but I'm a bit apprehensive about making solo trip to Colombia as non-Spanish speaker. I wonder what are the chances of succeeding with both women, cap drivers and hotel staff with no Spanish? And how is the safety for a non Spanish speaker?

I have no problem using Google translate if they have the patience and learning a bit Spanish on the way. But I would imagine everyone would try to rip me off and overcharge me from the hookers to cap drivers or am I worrying too much? I have made great solo trips to Dubai and Africa earlier so its not totally new to me but English is spoken by the majority in those areas. Also I see the going prices are 120 k for Street workers to 150-200 k per hour for top girls in the strip clubs etc. Rights. How about top girls overnight?

Are there reputable any guides from here that can help with setting up everything from the airport to girls?

Learn basic greetings. Learn how to ask if someone speaks English. Learn the numbers. Learn a few basic verbs, how to conjugate them and basic sentence structure. Just a few weeks, a few hours per day will pay off.

While you're picking up some Spanish, start reading up on Medellin. I combine reading with Google Maps. When a hotel, restaurant, club or casa is mentioned, I find it and check out Street View. I want to know what the area looks like. If it looks rough during the day, I'm not going at night, or I'm doing a taxi door to door.

Figure out a few go to places. Places you would like to visit while you're there. Maybe Energy, Fase 2, or some other places. I'd recommend picking a few places close to each other and not in the heart of El Centro.

Read up on that neighborhood and find a hotel that's fairly convenient. This will help minimize your taxi rides. While you're at it, check the hotel area for restaurants. Now you should be prepared.

As to your concerns about security, whether or not you speak Spanish won't have much of an effect. Where you go and how you carry yourself will. If you're taking pictures of everything with your diamond encrusted, gold plated iPhone, expect to be robbed. If you're walking around with a wallet full of pesos, expect to be robbed. If you're walking around drunk, expect to be robbed.

However, if you follow all the good advice on the forum, you should be fine. Just be aware of scam artists on the street.

Hotel staff is generally friendly and patient and there is usually someone on staff who speaks some English. If you can speak some Spanish it will help immensely. "Disclpeme seor. Hay un gato muerto en mi cama. " Which means, you probably should have picked a better hotel.

Some restaurants have a menu in English. Just ask "tiene una carta en Ingles?" Or you can just use translate to figure out the regular menu.

Cab drivers will try to overcharge you. Read the forum, find out the typical fares. Before you get in, ask how much. "Cuanto cuesta?" If you have the name and address written down, it will help. If you think they are asking too much, tell them a lower price. If they are giving a price in dolares, they're ripping you off. Counter in pesos.

Finally, before you go, start thinking in pesos. 300,000 pesos is about $100 at the current exchange rate. 10,000 is $3. 33 (that's the posted rate, your actual rate will vary). You don't need to be exact, just have a solid idea. If a cab driver says "diez dolares", come back with "quince mil pesos. ".

If you know the typical rates, you don't have to worry too much. If someone is asking too much, respond with what you're willing to pay, or ask "por toda la noche?

I wouldn't suggest trying an all nighter with an unknown. You may have just bought a dead fish. On the other hand, if she rocks your world, ask how much to stay the night. The price should be 2. 5 to 3 times the 1 hour price. You can afford to bargain a little. If it's already late, she's not making any more money if she leaves.

It can be challenging without knowing Spanish, but if you keep a positive attitude, be patient and do your homework, you should be fine.

Reading through this forum is all you need.

I did survived my solo visit without any Spanish skills. Google translator and WTs Casa Map are the only 2 tools you need for this expedition.

Stay is a safe neighborhood and visit casas rather than opting for street workers. If you can spare some time in tinder and facebook you can request for over night prices.

Over night prices very from girl to girl (prepago vs regular casa girl etc).

Hello,

Please anyone can help me with an info of where to look to get a girl to my hotel.

I've tried the http://co.mileroticos.com/escorts/antioquia/medellin/ but none speaks English.

Any help would be much welcomed.

Cheers.

If you just want a woman to come to your hotel, instead of going out, finding a woman and bringing her to your hotel, you have a few options.

You can Google "Medellin escorts", find an escort (prepago) agency that either speaks English or has an email or a Whatsapp contact option. This is the most expensive way.

Contact a casa / massage places that offers home service. Energy Spa is one place. It will be a little cheaper, 170 k cop for an hour.

Search mileroticos, Backpage and Locanto for escorts who use Whatsapp. Use Google translate to translate your request into Spanish and hope for the best. Expect to get someone who is not nearly as appealing as the photos in the ad.

If you finally get someone to your hotel, keep Google translate handy. You'll probably need it.

I'm coming down from Feb 3-13. I have a good friend who has a live in GF but does not live in the downtown area. Getting ready to book hotel. Down to the Art Hotel and Dann Carlton. Basically coming down to spend some time with friend for super bowl. But the goal is to monger and play poker. Are these hotels hobby friendly. I speak some Spanish but not a ton. My buddy speaks Spanish and lives with a Colombian lady but will not be with me 24/7. Not looking to come on the cheap. Looking for advice and appreciate any help.

I agree, you will not find any prices near COP 12'000 in Mayorista anymore. Neither will you find the quality of girls shown in the youtube video.

Who here has actually visited Mayorista recently and can post some updated information?
