Go to the castle museum in Poblado. Completely explore the metro system. Go to the bottom level of the Cenro Comercial Santa Fe Mall and race the carts. Have lunch at Classic Diner in Envigado for the Colombian version of a US 1950's Diner. Besides Caldas, there's Santa Fe de Antioquia and other small towns to visit, or Go to Pueblito Paisa in Medellin. Go to the stadium, El Estadio in Laureles. You can watch all types of sports for free, from cheerleading to basketball to martial arts to skateboarding, diving, basketball, volleyball and soccer (futbol). There's a smaller stadium where you can watch matches for free.
Go to the sports park in Envigado and learn to play Tejo, the Colombian national sport. Do the Hare Krishnas still do their thing in El Centro by Iglesia Veracruz? There's usually a few musicians busking by the Poblado Metro station. Also you'll often find various types of street performers at the busy intersections, jugglers, dancers, singers. There used to be some in Laureles with a slack rope setup (look up the Madonna Super Bowl halftime show for an example).
On Sundays and Holiday Mondays there's Ciclovia. In Poblado, 1 side of Avenida Poblao is shut down for pedestrians, joggers, bicyclists, skateboarders, roller bladers and a lot of young women in spandex. It's a good chance to get some exercise, drink fresh juices, eat fresh fruit and admire all the hot women. I usually refer to it as the camel toe parade.
I wasn't terribly impressed with California Buffet, but maybe I went at a bad time. However, just down the street is Los Contenadores, a collection of restaurants built out of shipping containers. There's also Mercado de Rio, Mercado de Tranvia and Mercado De La Playa, nice collections of restaurants. Look up La Mayoria, a restaurant overlooking Envigado, where they have horse shows throughout the weekend. Excellent food and views.
Finding something to alleviate boredom in Medellin is easy, but you do have to take the time to search things out.

Medellin why sus alrededores have much to offer, if you're bored here it's due to your own lack interest.

Great write up, need more like this. Great update. It will be my 4th time in Medellin in 2 years. Keeping current on the info is always helpful. Too bad as I will be gone by the 21 to Panama for a few days or I would have bought you a drink!

Do the touristy stuffs first, Go to gym, chill in the park, take a chica out to the mall, try different restaurants, try coffee shops, ride the cable car, take a day trip with a chica to outside towns of Medelln, walk around in El Centro, try the Casas, get a legit massage from spas, invite your favorite chica to hangout at your place during the day.
And the list goes on just have to plan better.

Where the regular citizen gets effected is when their wife or GF gets caught and it causes problems. It's all a trickle down effect. The locals are getting effected the most not just in poblado now but envigado and laureles as well.

You will have to buy a seeívica card for 10 mil pesos to use the metro or you can go to the servicio al cliente centers at san Antonio station or Acevedo station and use your passport to get a personalized seeívica card for free and you will also get better prices on using the metro and on línea L as well because I think with the tarjeta eventual they charge more. With the personalized card you can also run it negative up to cost of one viaje.

And the constant harassment for money, to buy things and to patronize a busines is too much for me. My ftiend and i was walking toward parque llares and a girl and i guess her bother harassed us for a block. They try to push us to stop and pretty much demanded money. Mind you they where with there mother or other relatives. The kids were native indians and about 7 and8. I looked at my homeboy saying to him do you see this. It was crazy. He said it worst in Cartagena.

Posts: 4009You will see the same messaging in every metro and tranvia car as well as on the public address monitors and audio announcements. I think you are projecting a bit.
