Depends on the particular night, the time that they leave.
It's usually around 9 or 10 pm, however, there are exceptions, depending on what they're told to do, and they stay later on the weekends.
I've had many conversations with them.
And of course it's better when they're around.

I learned my way around El Centro on my own. For about 3 months I went there almost every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. I usually didn't go at night, except for strip club trips and I usually finished my walking by 10 pm so I could catch the Metro home. For another 3 or 4 months I averaged once or twice a week.
I rarely went by taxi. I either took the bus or metro. I didn't just go to head straight to the casas. I just went to walk, experience the atmosphere and to learn the area. There aren't many streets in El Centro that I didn't walk. The area I'll call the recycling zone was interesting. All the guys you see digging through garbage at night take their stuff to an area that buys anything. There's places buying scrap wrought iron, broken glass, old doors, aluminum, plastic, cardboard, anything you can think of. It's not very scenic, but you get to see a different side of things.
If you're just going to fuck, there's no need to see any more of El Centro than the door of your favorite casa or strip club. If you're going to experience Medellin as a city, then you need to get your shoes on the sidewalks and find your way around El Centro.
I guess I spent about 300 hours just walking El Centro, or eating, having a beer or sitting and people watching. I saw one mugging and had 3 inept guys try to rob me 1 time. It was embarrassing for everyone.
It's not safe. No place is safe. If you're the guy who thinks you're bulletproof, and you can do whatever you want, wherever you want, it will prove you wrong. However, if you act reasonable, follow some basic precautions and pay attention, you can probably survive.

Casa's are basically commercial brothels. I found them to be like a candy store. I would enter one of the ones listed on the ISG map for Medellin, use my limited Spanish to say Yo quiero treinta minutos con una chica, and they would sit me down, and call a group of around 8 chicas to parade by me, usually skimpily dressed, giving their names, and then I would make a choice, she would step away a minute, then lead me to a room, and we were ready to go. Easy and comfortable, lots of fun, and you can't beat the price, being how safe it is. Much safer than a SW in my opinion.

That said, there was action available, the bars in La Ralla were open. (marked as streetwalkers near Mayorista on the map) and I did have a few drinks down there on Jan 1st. There was a small group of girls working down there as there always is, but I was just drinking with a buddy, I didn't see anything worth overcoming my risk tolerance for.

Me and a buddy wandered the deserted streets of El Centro looking for a casa that wasn't closed. No luck. Not sure if stuff was open in Dec 31, but get your action in early and those ladies lined up for any Jan 1 fun if needed for upcoming years. Never seen the door of New Life closed before during normal hours, sort of a shocker!

Posts: 250Just me for 2019
Hey guys, maybe this is a shameless post. Mainly because its the new year and I am gearing up for an adventurous and prosperous 2019 and I want to make new acquaintences, friends, partners and clients. I hope I do not break any forum rules.
I'm in the states now for the holidays imagining what will come of this new year. I will be back in Medellin next week.
I've been living in Medellin full time for 6 years and visiting for 10. I've rented several apartments in various parts of the city, stayed in many normal hotels, short stay hotels and airbnbs. In this time I have had a few eye opening run ins. I've been robbed, scammed by chicas, shaken down by cops, in addition to being wrongly arrested for stupidly carrying my personal perscription meds in an unmarked container. I have my share and continue to create exciting stories as well as unraveling some sticky ones.
As a result, I know lawyers, great Spanish teachers, dentists, government agencies, gone through the visa process many times on my own as well as with agenices, taken classes at EAFIT, UPB and The University of Antioquia. I also ride my bicycle every day. I know Medellin very well and many of the nuances that come with living in a third world country for 6 years. I've had a few serious paisa girlfriends, friends and family from the states come visit me as well as a consistent flow of guests from all over the world stay with me for days and weeks at a time.
I've successfully organized bachelor parties, birthday parties, walking tours, food tours, club tours, bicycle tours, barrio tours, excursions outside of Medellin, ATVs, horsback riding, bird watching, hiking, photo shoots. AND I have a lot of super cool, sexy, trustworthy, easy going amigas who always love to hang out in addition to other locals who maybe can answer some of your questions and help you with what you want.
I am probably one of the least judgemental people you will ever meet. However, being that Medellin is probably one of the most economical places you would want to visit, I have little pacience for stinginess. And finally, in my home, alone and with guests, I can be more of a stickler for cleanliness and good hygene. I meet new guys from this board and others on a fairly regular basis and if it can be called a skill, I think I am getting good at it because my knowledge and enthusiasm has been reciprocated in many rewarding ways.
I enjoy receiving private messages, feeling useful and appreciated. Thank you to all who contribute thoughtful and usefull information.

I've seen plenty of cops while walking around past midnight. Not that they would do much but they don't just disappear.

My advice, when the cops split from el Centro, it's generally a good idea to leave as well.
Usually about 9 or 10 pm or so.
It's just common sense.
Regardless of what some tough guys like to post, walking around Botero area, especially alone, at night, cops gone, is a recipe for getting robbed.

Posts: 101st Visit Planned January 24.
Hey guys,
Thanks to everyone for their contributions. This will be my first visit to Medellin and I'll be going with a buddy of mine. Neither of us speak great Spanish, but our plan to check things out and take things as they come. I've got a total noob question: What exactly are "Casa's" in Medellin? I know the translation, and I know what these are in Cuba, but I'm a fit vague on what these are in Medellin. Are these homes turned into brothels? Or are they simply commercial brothels? I know some of you are laughing right now. That's OK. Please bear with me. Any assistance is appreciated.

There is so much foot traffic in el centro, as long as you stay in the busy area and don't draw attention to yourself, it is not so dangerous even after sunset.
