Medellin Reports

[DiscoverFL]

I was anally raped entering Medellin recently. Had no idea or warning by any airline that upon entry, anyone with a Canadian passport will be made to pay about hundred backs so called reciprocal visa fee. In effect since Nov 15. Must use credit / debit card to pay. One of the brilliant gem by the new president.

Are there any 5 or 10 year long, multiple entry TOURIST visas available for Colombia? Can't pay hundred backs every few months.

You need to step back and understand this problem originates in Canada first, by them charging Colombians $100-185 Canadian for a visa to visit Canada. Colombia has enacted a reciprocal visa fee in response. I'm sure once you write to your Canadian leaders and convince them how unfair to charge such high fees to Colombian visitors is, and they remove those fees, that Colombia will subsequently remove their visa fee. What is fair is fair.

Thanks! Good to know Mansion has options!

The mansion has someone on-call for professional massages (non-sexual). Otherwise, there are a couple professional places down Carrera 43 A as you walk towards the Santaf Mall. Google Maps is popular here, so you can use it to find places and see reviews.

People are definitely weird. I ran in to guys who have more than 20 trips under their belt and just keep coming back to Mansion. Don't know why or what's going on in their heads.

Only the most rookie nookie seekers should stay at that place. It sucks.

Removing your hearing aids. That's a first for combating noise. ROTFL.

To further clarify the noise issues at San Peter as noted by Giz99, and which do result in many short and aborted stays: Noise levels vary by floor of apartment (2 to 17), orientation (bedroom facing La 70 side of the building with its discos and bars, or the quieter Calle 42 to the rear), and whether the apartment has airport-grade windows insulated for sound. Rental price per unit tends to vary accordingly. All that said, there are a number of long term, happy campers there, myself included (a geezer who can deal with any residual Bad Bunny, Latin Trap decibels from the street below by removing his hearing aids at night).

I have tried 3 different airlines flying to Medellin: Avianca, American and JetBlue. I believe that JetBlue is has better service than the other two by far. I know I won't fly on Avianca anymore it was bad. No decent food and drinks are poor inflight entertain. Oh and rock hard seats in economy.

If you upgrade to larger front seats, Spirit and Avianca seats are 1000% better than JetBlue's crappy larger seats.

For those who use the airport buses, they were recently equipped with Civica card readers. You can pay your fare (14,000 pesos) with a Civica card or cash. Assuming you keep a charged Civica, it can save you the time of visiting an ATM if you don't have cash on hand when you arrive. There is also now a Metro link but I don't have any personal experience with it. It doesn't seem that convenient if you are traveling with luggage. I think you can use it to pick up an airport bus at the Industriales station.

A Panamanian American was stabbed to death by 4 dudes Dec 9th in the Pueblo of Santa Barbara, Antioquia (roughly 2 hours drive from Medellin). They also stole his moto and his dog. The deceased had been living there for only 3 months.

I think this was my 6th trip to Medellin this year. I was last there in late August but did not make a trip report. This trip was short because it was last minute and also I had promised a friend at work that we would attend a boxing match at Chase Center in San Francisco on Dec 9th.

I had barely 6 months on my last passport when I made my last visit in August. So, I reapplied by sending the still valid passport for expedited service and got it back in 4 weeks. They sent back the old with hole punches 2 weeks after that.

I live in Nor Cal. So, pretty much 2 choices: San Jose or San Francisco. I chose San Francisco even though it is 45 min drive. I had used San Jose SJC for flights with American but I think they suck. On my way back to USA from MDE the previous 2 trips. There were delays up to an hour or more causing me to miss my connecting flight out of MIA. I always noticed that the JetBlue flight only 30 minutes earlier heading to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) was always on time.

About the trip- I use Seeking, Tinder and the rest comes from visits to Lleras Park and Botero. I am still seeing Laura who I met off of Seeking from my first visit last February. However, on this visit I only saw her once since her family was having a "dinner. " That was okay with me and that's what I like about her is that she isn't too needy. When she comes over the visits are longer because she likes giving me head for extending periods of time and letting me finish down her throat likes its nothing. That leaves enough for for me to give her a cream pie. She wants more but I have no more give. When I play with big nipples she cuts.

I digress. I actually saw Yoli (Tinder) on Sunday when I arrived. I had met her two visits prior. Yoli is morenita I think that means black girl. As a black guy myself a woman like that is a delicacy. I had bought her a red Victoria Secret teddy for the last visit but she flaked. I brought it back this time because the sex was good. No her effort which was kind of off but she had a nice full figure and big tits. Her pussy was nice and wet and lips when she sucked my dick felt soft. She's 24 but is 9 out 10 on the needy scale. She wants me to buy her a dog. Her mother is sick. She needs money to eat and so on and so forth. That was my last visit her and she left her charger in my room on purpose. I paid her 300 to leave. She let me take photos but I don't know how to post them on here.

Fernando Botero: Dead or Alive? If asked six months ago, I would have flunked the quiz, and was surprised to learn from this linked article that he just gave up the ghost in September. For those of you who speak / read Spanish with some fluency (especially the El Centro Rats who spend much of their waking hours loitering in the shadows of his rotund sculptures in the eponymous Plaza Botero), this interview with him (conducted shortly before his death) from today's Spanish edition of the Times, may be of interest.

I was in Medellin when that happened. The coffin was brought to the museum for one day and there was a walkthrough-wake (no stopping) open to public. Some events were held in the Plaza too.

There seems to be an English version of the article as well:

You won't, girls that look like that are not usually in the business and if they are they are linked up to a Narco and won't usually play with tourist.

This is a load of crap. I'm sure if he looks hard enough he can find some botox assess here in Medellin.

... but nothing like having an experienced and knowledgeable new friend to advise me..

I recommend staying at the Mansion, aka Hotel M, if it's your first time in Medellin.
http://hotelmedellinplaza.com/.

You should be able to find some new friends if you stay at Mansion.

...At San Peters, they were advertising that rooms were upgraded / changed to soundproof windows. That is total BS. Look at the windows. Why is that soundproof?.

Not all rooms have soundproof windows. I have been in the soundproof room. It's better but the ambient noise is obvious even for me. It really depends on one's sensitivity level. It works for some, but some will still be bothered.

The apartment number that ends with 01 have bedroom facing La 70 and are noisy. The noise level is high on weekends until to 4 or 5 AM Monday morning.
