1. Wear long pants and shoes. Walking around with shorts and sandals signals foreigner from further away before someone can even hear your accent. If your body can tolerate the heat, don't wear sunglasses or a hat either.
2. Don't speak english if you know spanish.
3. Look around to see if anyone is watching or following you before approaching a woman to speak with her.
4. Don't hail taxis from the street. If she asks you to get into a ride with a driver she knows, immediately go inside the nearest indoor business.
5. Don't spend time haggling on price. The more time you spend standing there talking, the more exposed you are.
6. El Centro is off limits at night, and Parque Lleras is ill advised, especially late in the evening.

There are party buses that leave from LA 70 in Laureles. If you walk from the Exito on LA 70 towards the Metro train on the left side of LA 70, you will see the advertisements for the buses. Probably also see the buses.
There is a chica on Facebook who does Comuna 13 tours. Look for Alee Quintero. She will take care of all your needs. There are reports that she will request many drinks during the tour, so keep that in mind.
Offer the FB chicas 200 mil plus one taxi to start, then go to 250 mil total (no taxi) if she rejects the first offer.

Although I don't go there to monger, but when I passed by after dinner, I would look around. Often I can find one or two that I have no problem taking. That's why I think one needs to shop around and do some homework to decide what is the price you want to pay. You can have 3 tries outside while one inside. Which one do you think will have the better odds of getting better sex? Do you think the same girl will quote monger 200 or 300 USD an hour when they work outside of Gusto? If you know what you are doing at Gusto based on your need, then go ahead.
For security, you can work together with your wingman. If I am really worry about security, I would hire a local, like the housekeeper and pay the same amount for watching my place from outside. That's the general idea.

Posts: 3Finally
So I've been planning this trip for 2 years now but I couldn't find anyone to go until now. Finally bought my ticket.
I will be there from Dec 11th - 17th.
Main priorities are Guatape, Loutron, Cerro El Picacho, Energy Spa, New Life, La Isla, Fase Dos, Luna Lunera, Comuna 13, Want to do a Colombian Party bus.
And Crepes and Waffles (LOL).
Definitely bar hopping all 7 of these days. If anyone wants to join for a beer I'm down.
I've been messaging Facebook girls for a while now. How much should I quote them?
Also any tips? Will probably end up at Gustos one day cause the first 3 days will be in Laureles then Poblado the last 3 days.

Posts: 2579You sound like a pro with 9 posts, axe to gring, getting old WTF
"This.
Sounds like a poster who has an axe to grind. Getting a bit old.
I think Medellin is safer than a lot of other destinations like the Dom Rep, Philippines or Thailand. Can't comment on Mexico as I've never been. Willing to bet that far more westerners are killed in Angeles City (Philippines) than in Colombia in total. Colombianos will try to direct you away from dangerous areas in my experience and Parque Lleras is fairly safe to walk around, even drunk as it's well lit and loads of cops about (especially now as they set up checkpoints on all the entrances to the Parque).
Usually when you read into a foreigner being killed in somewhere like Medellin (or Angeles, Pattaya, Cancun, Sosua, et al.) its usually because the foreigner ended up doing something stupid, like in the post you quoted. Guy was shot resisting a mugging, I'm a self defence practitioner (Krav Maga) and the best course of action in a robbery is to give them what they want. No phone, no matter how shiny or wallet no matter how full is worth getting shot or stabbed over. I'm no fan of muggings but if you get to the point where there is a physical confrontation it's already too late to start defending yourself and you fucked up, prevention is much better than cure on this one, I'd wager that the people who mugged this guy were following him for a while.
By and large Medellin is pretty safe, unless you're an idiot. Just take basic self preservation measures like not getting into fights with locals, don't get involved in the local drugs trade, don't walk down dark alleys, not accepting candy from strangers, so on and so forth. ".
I've never heard of a tourist being murdered in BKK Pattaya or even fucking Tijuana WTF are you smoking.

I think Medellin is the most dangerous city in the world for tourists and if you're a monger, your risks are much much higher.
Show me a city with more tourists being murdered, I doubt anywhere in Africa is this dangerous, Rio? Doubtful?
Mexico is safer and they have a full blown drug war going 24/7.

Posts: 127Hi all.
I'm cross-posting with the Bogota forum. I have the opportunity of a last minute trip to Colombia over the Christmas / New Year period. I have been cautioned against Bogota due to a lack of company between Christmas and NYE. Is Medellin likely to be similar? It is slightly more expensive to get to MDE, but don't mind that if there are more options for company.
Thanks.

The US dollar is not the currency here and no one is carrying around dollars here either. Except for the poblado boys LOL.
