Medellin Reports

I would cancel if you can do it without penalty. Then rebook closer to your arrival date.

PS just found your original post and my reply is certainly too late... Either way it should work out. I doubt very much that there will be a total shutdown again.

No worries- I appreciate the advice. I kept the rental and taking the bet that there won't be a shut down.

I rolled the dice and kept the reservation. Most I can lose is a couple hundred $ and I'm banking on this being overblown.

Is anyone else having problems using the app? I did read somewhere it's no longer required but just wanted to be sure since I'm flying into Cartagena soon.

They are having technical difficulties with the Check Mig app and it's currently not required, at least last I checked. However, they are back to requiring the paper form they formerly used (or something similar). I assume for inbound passengers it will be handed out during the flight, as before. However, for outbound passengers they will need to give extra time to go through Migracion before boarding.

I wouldn't cancel, if the Country shuts down to foreign visitors will know before your arrival date. God forbid if this is a redux of February 2020, when Colombia shut the Country to foreign visitors. As far as curfews and lockdowns, it's a function of ICU capacity, and the Country just won't be able to handle more lockdowns as the economic damage is to great.

So I would sit tight, and if the Country shuts down you should be able to get your deposit back.

What was the name of the Sala de citas with the cuartos next door that were all like grass huts under an airplane hangar?

Not a sala de citas. Or a casa as they are known in Medellin. Probably the place next to Fase Dos, the strip club. Where you take a chica from the main part of the club.

I just got here. Are there any good Casas? I saw the excellent map, but it is a lot of information. I am looking for a good place with top quality, not doing anything at all with texting, WhatsApp, or Facebook. Any recommendations?

Just go to zandalay and new life. And read the forum or use the search bar.

I am in Medellin and looking for a fun girl. I am not paid member here. [Email address deleted by Admin]

I was in Medellin a few week ago. Met many girls through friends of friends. The problem is that once I left Medelland they kept asking me when would I come back because they need some extra cash. Some of them asked me if I can send them a few pesos. I never send money so I always say no.

This morning a girl asked if I could lend her money for an emergency. I immediately said no. Then she asked me if I knew someone would would be interested in seeing her. She is absolutely a sweet girl and very cute. She helped out with a few things so I feel like I owe her. If you guys are in Medellin now and would like to meet a very cute and sweet girl let me know. I am happy to share her WhatsApp and you talk to her directly. She is 22 yrs old, doesn't speak any English and is Not a pro.

Cheers,

Hi does anyone know what happened to the medellinguru.com site? I keep getting "Error 1020 access denied" when going there. I'm trying to find out if there are any curfews right now or in the future. I'm planning a trip to Medellin from Dec 26 - Jan 3. TIA.

I keep getting that error too. I posted that on his FB page & he replied, should be able to get on now. I tried & still denied.

Fuck! Last April my flight and Airbnb was booked for my first trip to Medellin. A week or so out, Medellin's curfew and lockdowns go into effect. I rebooked to Bogota and found an Airbnb then Bogota went into lockdown. I then rebooked to Cartagena and pulled off my vacation. Now, my flight and Airbnb are booked for Medellin and I'm set to land in less than three weeks and this omicron variant is freaking everyone out. Will I ever visit the city of eternal spring? I have 22 hours to cancel my Airbnb without penalty. Tiempos locos.

Do not want to waste vacation time so contemplating a trip during the week of Christmas. Tickets have become sky high compared to last month.

Some comments in the thread suggest the Christmas week is a shutdown for the city. How bad is this holiday shutdown?

Would you recommend not making trip? I am thinking even if casas are shutdown or have limited hours, the FB and SA should work. What about Centro? Guessing much limited street scene.

Is it worth hitting Colombia during this time or should I postpone to another month?

I just tried going to his site and got there without a problem. He does have some type of browser check before opening his site. There are no curfews in Medellin, and the locals are not predicting any. Of course, that could change at any time.

"Boots on the ground" right now, there is no curfew in MDE. Nor was there any when I was there in July and Oct. Haven't heard about any future "toque de queda" either. Just cum Luvchicas.
