Medellin Reports

[Gabacho]

Way less than an hour drive. It's part of the metro area just South and West of Medellin (and Poblado is in the South of Medellin).

Itagui has bad areas and some good areas also. The better areas will be on the Eastern side (bordering Envigado).

Lmao isn't it just like a cpl metro stations past Poblado station? It's literally like 5 min.

Would love to hear from anyone here that has visited and spent some time in Itagui.

It seems to be pretty close to El Poblado, maybe an hour drive?

I am meeting many beautiful chicas on Facebook who are from there. Many will travel to Poblado some won't.

Might be a nice change for a day or so to visit?

My bad. I hit the wrong keys and failed to proof. Hi was around 5,000 and current is in the high 3000's. But still a great rate compared to when I start going 18 years ago (about 2200-2400) and the all-time low of around 1700-1750. The only good thing about the low rate of 1700-1750 due to the GFC was that a lot of guys could no longer afford to go and the girls were desperate. It was a good time to be a gringo who could pay with the crappy exchange rate. While the higher exchange rate is good in some ways, it's also bad because it's attracted guys who would have never gone otherwise.

The rate went as high as 5,100, but that was very very short lived. It seemed to be 4,500 or slightly north most of the time. However, local prices were increased to offset the devaluation of the peso since many things are imported and paid for in dollars. So, the net effect wasn't really an increase in purchasing power.

El Centro casas, for example, prices were 35,000-40,000 a few years ago for a half hour and some casas had specials were you could get 2 chicas for around that price. Now the casas average around 65,000 for a half hour and that is only for one chica.

I believe there are a a couple of reports of how a typical threesome unfolds here. In general, if the girls don't like each other or if there is no genuine chemistry then its sex with one while the other Chica is waiting and then vice versa. At most you can find them rubbing boobs of each other while you are having sex with one of them.

The only time I have had a great threesome was with a chica who is so in love with her female friend Diana. Diana is a typical barrio chica who goes out with foreigners and for 200 each they showed me a good time but it was very fun watching them have sex with each other. Overall, Its certainly is far from how a typical threesome is shown in porn.

I have a different situation. A early fifties woman is traveling for a weekend are and are. I am playing wingman. Showing her around the city. Restaurants, parklleras, tourists spots etc. While I am a certified pussy hound, in this case, I am neither interested in a threesome nor want to be involved in a swinger type of environment with my female friend.

I do want to arrange / offer a male prepago or a young guy who can show her a good time. I know the city very well and I know all types of paisa chicas, different body types to different skills in bed. I just don't know any male gigolos. Only guys I know here are other mongers or local friends who are professionals (lawyers, taxi guys or remote IT guys etc) and other expats. I know this is not Jamaica, which is a known monger destination for older women, but I am sure there is a dick somewhere in MDE doing this work. Jejeje.

I've been to MDE several times using SA, Tinder, FB, and always have an amazing time!

I got married not to long ago and my wife knows I like to travel and knows I have been to Colombia and has always wanted to go too.

Of course she doesn't know I monger. Shhh.

We have had threesomes in sex prison America before, very rarely, never pay for play. My wife is younger attractive and is open minded, that's only why I could get married with her.

She mentioned trying to get a threesome in MDE. I don't think she know is top sex tourism spot, I will be hiding her from all the obvious Lleras working girls as best a possible LOL.

I much rather go to MDE alone but since I am going there with my wife.

One more pitfall in investing in another country. You can not predict when laws will change and you are stuck with your dick in your hand. Wasn't someone the other day talking about how they are about to buy a place to fix up for an airbnb? If this news had come out in another week or 2 then they would have been fucked.

Exactly. I was going to buy a 3 bedroom apartment / condo in El Poblado. But the property was in probate and one of the 30 heirs would not agree to sell. So I passed. Now I am not going to. My real estate agent says they apartments can be rented by the month. Maybe by the week. But daily rental is out.

The barriers were 100% the low point since the pandemic. I say this from the perspective of someone who was in Plaza Botero most days during the pandemic, because we weren't allowed to be many other places. Since the barriers were removed, I notice steady improvement. It's not where it used to be yet but the trend is encouraging. Before the barrier I took being able to circulate from behind the church to the front of the plaza for granted. It makes a big difference that all the girls are no longer squeezed into a two street dog leg along the side of and behind the church.

While I had been to Bogota pre-pandemic I unfortunately didn't discover Medellin until 2020. However I do agree that Centro was much better at the end of 2020 when Colombia first opened back up to international flights and in 2021 as well. 2022 was still better but starting to go downhill. But when those stupid barriers went up in 2023 that's when Centro took a turn for the worst. Hopefully now that the barriers are gone it will be returning to how it used to be. It's only been a few months so it's still evolving but it does feel more open and free like how it used to. Now we just need the quality of the women to go back to where it used to be and we will be all set.

The licensing rules are not changing. I think the mayor is referring to stronger selected enforcement in response to citizen complaints about high rental rates. Fico is a skillful politician. He keeps up with the opposition and the liberal opposition is behind a campaign that promotes the idea that Airbnb investors are pricing low income residents out of neighborhoods.

Little alarmist. I bet the definition of "residential areas" is rather specific and many areas do not qualify as not residential (where the first floors are commercial).

The new mayor Fico Gutirrez is now going after Airbnb and according to this story short-term rentals in residential areas are going to be prohibited within the city of Medellin.

Ahahahah! You sure? :-D She does not know Google, right?
You might get the (good) surprise of your life.

Nah she's not the type to do that.

Yea anyone can find out MDE is top mongering spot in seconds, but how many casual females travelers are likely to run into that fact on their own. Idk?

I speak for everyone here on the Medellin thread in saying that we miss reading Osteoknot's informative posts and we hope that he is doing well.

You don't speak for me. I'm glad there are no more of his posts.

I guess my critical thinking was wrong then. But as you can see from this chart here the GBP did hit 6000 COP as a high point and recently was around 4800 so you could see how one could think that.

It would be nice to be a British digital nomad getting paid a nice salary in GBP while working from home living in Colombia.
