Medellin Reports

[Member #4394]

These guys in El centro are professional thugs. They are always looking for preys. Usually these robberies are led and organized by somebody else who are not at the site of robberies.

I had two robbery attempts in El Centro, one successful and one remarkably unsuccessful, in two months, one at dusk (the successful one) and one in broad daylight. Neither time was I drunk, and I've never been successfully robbed anywhere else in the world. This was in 2008. Maybe it's safer now but Colombia is dangerous, always and everywhere, and things are never as they seem.

So let's be careful out there!

Last time I was at La Isla I was with a few guys and they were asking for some sort of bottle minimum. Do you know if you go there solo, can you get away with buying solo drinks or a half bottle or something? The cover and prices were pretty fair considering the quality, other than the ridiculous bottle charge.

The times I went I just bought a half bottle of aguardiente, so no problem there. I was pretty generous with buying girls single drinks though. My waiter was cool as hell, so were the security guys. They treated me like a rock star. And gave me VIP treatment every time I went. Tipping these guys helps alot. The girls were cool, although some were hustling a little bit too much. When that happened I just had one of the security guys give them the boot from my table. Spent a fortune, but that's how I am and had a grand time.

After dropping my friend off, I don't want to go home. It is about 11 pm. With no babysitter around I can do some crazy things. I am bored and want to drive around the city. I have about 5 minutes until I reach the highway. I like the taxi driver alot but I need to press him with some very fucking serious questions. The guy totally gets it and he passes my tough radar test. He is a super laid back guy who has been a driver for over 20 years. He tells me he can show me some spots in Bello. He also says there is a good place to meet girls in the daytime about 10 blocks from where we are walking below Santo Domingo. I am not even horny but don't want to go home. We smoke a joint and head on. He heads back near the starting point and shows me the spot. He says that he knows a girl in Santo Domingo. He calls her as we are driving up the hill but he can't get in touch. 90% of the streets we are on we would be able to pickup a girl if one was available. As with my luck, not so simple. We are now driving on a narrow sidewalk. I am in the backseat with my head inside the passenger headrest paying attention. We turn left down another street that is very narrow also. Tough gang members on the corner and in the distance at the other corner. At the middle of the street there are four girls holding their arms together blocking the taxi. The girls are harmless, one trying to talk through the window. The one on the left is smoking hot about 19-20 years old. This street is too hot to stop on, though. I tell him to try to make a quick connection with the hot girl. He says that it is too hot and he keeps moving. Damn it. WTF. He says we can come tomorrow and it will be safer and he knows the spot. I plead with him to go back and relents. I am praying all of the guys will disappear. We pass through again with the same setup. He tries to get her attention but can't stop. We move on.

We head up into Bello and there is a two block street of clubs. My taxi driver knows what I am looking for. A girl with a nice essence, who isn't working at a strip club. He and I are on the same page. We pull up in front these two clubs that are pretty small from the outside. Typical Colombian, aloof and rambling. I tell him what I want very clearly. He seems like a guy that might have something but I don't trust him. My taxi driver tells him that I don't have time for games and I want something quick. I love this guy as we are bonded. He says to park the taxi and come inside. We park and head in. There are about 30 people in the place, half guys and half girls. These girls are amazingly hot, at La Isla level or above. Jackpot? Not so fast. These are regular girls hanging out with their friends. These are upper class circles. I lean into my taxi driver and said "these girls aren't putas?" he clearly shakes his head No. The top 2-3 girls in this place are as good as you can find in Medellin and this is saying something. I tell the guy putas. He shows me 2 but they are not up to par. I tell the guy to forget about the crazy hot girls and show him some examples from the middle level girls who are more than hot enough. He says to come back tomorrow night. We call it a night and head home. Taxi fare 35 k, about $15.

Please guys don't come here and do this crazy stuff. Most of my friends who live here won't even do this stuff. I am a little crazy. Don't be like me, please.

Getting tired and not feeling well. This enough for now but I will write a little more going forward.

[Vegas Jeff]

You are an absolute riot dude!! I love reading your posts!

Thanks for the kind words, bro. Like you said I walk around stoned by I am not acting it either. I am almost always the one in my group to spot potentially dangerous situations first. I am also very good with Colombians and I know how to encourage them to go with my ideas and on my terms. 95% of time it works. When it doesn't I lower my voice and speak slowly but seriously. I tell that I am not like like the rest of these selfish, lying here in Medellin. I tell they are part of my plan and these are the details. Comprende? Normally I get a "Vamos". If this doesn't work I move on which is rare.

Everyone has been very cool with me on this board and I appreciate it. Even when I first wrote, BMs made kind suggestions regarding looking at dates on stale posts before responding and things like that. I wish people were cooler with other BMs. SavePros and Slam get on me from time to time about things but I appreciate it. Sometimes I drift off and need the rudder for the ship. I always try to bite my tongue with guys who are givers versus guys who are takers. Both of these guys give almost exclusively hence one should go slow IMO in criticizing these guys too much due to their giving nature. I also want to add that I was very depressed during December, when I wrote some lengthy posts. I am not a depressed-type person but everyone has their breaking point and I had reached it. The combination of negative things happening was overwhelming. I can grind through mentally and now I am recovering.

I have been traveling to Medellin for 3 1/2 years and have been a BM since shortly after arriving. I have seen some truly incredible things in Medellin. These things have shocked me to the core and I have never been the same since. All of my experiences have happened while a BM yet I had nowhere to put my stories. I have read very little that resembles some of my extreme experiences.

Well I am smoking pot and have a fever so I will write a quick TR. By the way, I have never written a TR I don't think. Well here goes.

Trips starts out terribly as my bad luck continued. I traveled with my 14 year old cat for the first time. Gave him a small piece of benadryl to calm him. He has an allergic reaction and throws up and is foaming at the mouth. Craziness continued and I made it to Medellin. Upon arriving the craziness continues. Lost my sim with Claro. Their records go back 6 months and for some reason they don't have my info. Lady proceeds to type in my passport with one number incorrect and someone else's info pops up. She proceeds to call a manager because I might be trying to pull something. 2 1/2 hours later everything gets straightened out. My apartment has all types of problems and no washer. The drama continues.

My girlfriend arrives on the second day and stays with me for 3 days. I am still not myself after 5 months in The States, my longest continuous stretch outside Latin America in 10 years. The pain of being without my girlfriend has been overwhelming and I will never do more than 3 months again. I have the sweetest girl and can't imagine living without her in my life. I told her that I have shut off part of my heart to cope with being without her and it will take some time to adjust to her and Medellin. She is sweet and mature and understands. I am very much in love. I talk with regular girls who are way, way prettier and I am not even tempted. This is a good sign that I am deeply in love. I would give up mongering to be with her but I am not feeling the pressure and may never feel it. At some point this might end for me but for the near term future I am still good. My phone never rings because I only allow texts from the working girls. I am very clear with them that I have a girlfriend and no drama will be tolerated. All of them are cool and there is rarely a problem.

I always hit the ground and get laid multiple times in the first few days. I waited a week until I had a few consistent dates with my girl so I could my feelings in the right place. After a week I am getting better. It is time to get out.

I head into El Centro to my pot smoking spot in the back of a casa. The jefe who I have known for 3 years is not there. They block my friends from entering. I have to have a talk with these two jefes who are watching the place. I said I have known the jefe for 3 years. I tell them that I give a 5 mil tip plus buy drinks and bring them clients. They say, no problem. After entering, the group of girls is the best I have seen in looks and attitude. I want to add that I have not had sex in this place in 2 years and enjoy the girls as friends. One girl I am clicking with. I usually just ask for BBBJ and go for BB in the room if this is what I am looking for. I ask her in the waiting room for BB sex and she agrees. Girl is slightly aloof and once in the room she thought I said BBBJ. I hold the session together and she was actually very sweet. Session is very average because I don't feel anything with the condom. This has just started to happen recently and this is not a good sign. Girl was fine and this average performance is on me. My ego is bothered as I am hungry for BB. I tell my friends that I am going to hunt for a girl with less than one month experience and have BB sex within the next two hours and will hunt 20 casas if necessary. On the hunt I go.

Pass through a bunch of casas and find a girl. She has worked there for two weeks. I always ask the jefe this question and then I ask the girl the same question shortly after separately. I ask her if we could smoke in the room. She says there is no way. I pull the jefe aside and asked him if there was a room with a window that I can smoke in. He say there is not. I ask him if I can go outside down the street and smoke with her for 10 minutes. He says no problem. She puts flip flops on and we exit and go to the corner. We smoke some while talking general things Medellin and I find out a bunch of things about her. Back in the room the session goes well and I get BB at no extra charge from the original 20 k BBBJ. I leave satisfied and call it a day.

At this point I have been in Medellin for over a week and need to go in the tougher areas of the north. My girlfriend lives in a very dangerous neighborhood but I am not ready to go there and visit her parents just yet. I beg one of my friends to take me out. I have no excuse to go into any tough neighborhood. He relents and we meet in El Centro and head North into an area just below Santo Domingo near the metro. It is about 6 pm. We hang out at a bar with a good scene of the locals. Pretty girl is sitting near us and we start chatting. She is dressed like a high end prepago and doesn't belong there. She lives in Floresta and says she works for the metro bus system. She says that her father lives in Santo Domingo and she is bored and just wanted to drink some beer. Her story doesn't add up. Very likely an internet prepago. Girl is pretty but I pass. My friend exchanges whatsapp with her. By the way this neighborhood is better than average for safety for The North. People are all around. Not to bad on safety. We wander around and I am smoking pot. We wander up the hill around 9 p. Guy in the street says there is a good restaurant a ways up the hill. Awesome. An excuse to wander further up into the darkness. After eating we wander into a park. Lots of pretty girls but lots of guys also. This is not a safe place to be so we leave. It is now after 10 and we are both a little buzzed and tired. I usually don't drink too much so the combination is hitting me a little. I grab a cab and drop my friend off in El Centro. Time to go home or so I thought. To be continued in Part 2.

[Dickhead]

I had two robbery attempts in El Centro, one successful and one remarkably unsuccessful, in two months, one at dusk (the successful one) and one in broad daylight. Neither time was I drunk, and I've never been successfully robbed anywhere else in the world. This was in 2008. Maybe it's safer now but Colombia is dangerous, always and everywhere, and things are never as they seem.

So let's be careful out there!

[Speculator]

I have never been robbed or drugged or had anything happen to me in 10 years of travel in Latin America. Part of this is luck and part of this is using my brain and blending in. I know of 3 locals who have been drugged by scopolomine in Medellin, but don't know of any foreigners. Over the next few months I expect to be involved in some crazy shit in Medellin so maybe my luck will run out. I have been walking around El Centro drunk and stoned recently. I hear of these stories in El Centro regarding the danger. I am an easier target than ever. Also, I only have between basic to intermediate Spanish. I am still waiting for these things to happen that I hear about. I am not too proud to write it here if something happens. We shall see.

You are an absolute riot dude!! I love reading your posts!

I too have spent an inordinate amount of time in El Centro. In the day mostly but also at night. I have never had a whiff of a problem in the day, and I'm talking lot's and lot's of time. I've read the scopalmine stories, and I do think about it from time to time as it would take away my power, which is the scary part. Who you are and how you carry yourself, luck and timing has a lot to do with staying out of trouble. Even though I walk around el centro stoned sometimes I'm not acting it. I'm still aware. I find being drunk is way worse. I did have an issue once at night in El centro, but I was very drunk, and I attribute this particular instance to that. However, I've been drunk in too many cities, too late, too many times and always got away with it. Rio and Sao Paulo oh my! This I don't like doing any more. Not in el centro for sure. I love centro in the day. At night it "feels" more dangerous for sure, but I love it also! It's not for everyone.

[Manizales911]

I'm so tired of hearing people spreading these bullshit scare stories.

Have you or anybody you know ever been drugged by scolpamine? Has anybody else on this forum? Mongers would be most susceptible to this yet I have never heard of this happening to anybody.

I've lived in El Centro for 2 months and got to know many of the girls that work there quite well, some of which became my friends. I've asked all of them at some point if they have ever heard of this drug and none of them knew what I was talking about.

My best friend's uncle died from being scoped, it is real and it is very dangerous. If the girls you are talking to say they haven't heard of it watch out because they are lying to you, and FYI they aren't your friends. I belong to a Colombian Facebook group and a few guys got scoped when they took a bunch of girls to San Andres, I don't know the guys personally but I know that there are several members here that know them. Most of the "stories" that I have seen on this site aren't bullshit scare stories sir, they are usually pretty factual and are posted to help others. You have 5 posts to your name and you are calling out people, come on now.

Been in Medellin for a bit, back to Bogota tomorrow then back to the states. Had some wild times at La Isla. Though expensive, I highly recommend.

Last time I was at La Isla I was with a few guys and they were asking for some sort of bottle minimum. Do you know if you go there solo, can you get away with buying solo drinks or a half bottle or something?

No need to disparage the older members in our mongering community. Those "old farts" may be the ones to pull your ass out of the fire one day.

Most of the mongers that have given my guidance over the years are twice, sometimes thrice my age. They have a lot of valuable wisdom to impart on others if you are willing to listen.

I agree, most of these dudes are very cool and chill.

I enjoy my conversations with them and have learned a lot, not just about Colombia but worlwide info, and more than just about the hunt.

Yeah, I agree. I know Cali Hentai and he ain't getting any younger. In a few short years he'll be in the "old farts" category. Man boobs and all.

It's part of the search. Looking for and meeting hot girls are like lottery, you will meet bad girls and you will meet good girls and learn to how to keep them!

If not robbed by a Scopolamine-girl, they will make the experience into a nightmare insted of the Dream-sex you thoguht you was going to have; twice the girls have started to demanding more money during the act it self, one time while performing BBBJ, LOL.

The Scopolamine factor is a real threat though, and very scary! And there seems to be little to do once you have been exposed to it. You can escape it seems, but most times you fall into another world where you do everything that the robber wants, giving codes to ATM etc, and the next day you can't remember anything and therefore have a lot smaller chance of getting money from your ensurance!

But New Life, Energy, the clubs, it gerts boring. I want to attack in broad daylight! I would do it just for the surprise effect. In the everyday life, and therein, as the bard would tell us lies the rub; it's free and it can work, and you can do it everywhere, without limits! Surprise-girls give such much added value since such sex is what we dream of all the time, but maybe can encounter one-two times in a lifetime, while going to New Life, The Mansion, that we all can do as long as we have $US 1000 extra to spend a week.

Daytime-Fishing is the highest form of Hedeonistic rationality, but the most risky one security-wise, if you bring the girls to your home and not to a lovemotel, but many are more keen to go to a motel, since it's more safe.

Nice post, Jack Sparrow.

IMO the quality of foreigner traveling to Medellin currently is more naive and unaware than in the past. The original travelers to any unknown location are always better. They are respectful toward the culture, attempting to blend in. As the last herd arrives with shorts and flip flops, the original foreigners move on to another place. This is a poor trade as the locals get a stronger whiff of the crap from the First World.

I have never been robbed or drugged or had anything happen to me in 10 years of travel in Latin America. Part of this is luck and part of this is using my brain and blending in. I know of 3 locals who have been drugged by scopolomine in Medellin, but don't know of any foreigners. Over the next few months I expect to be involved in some crazy shit in Medellin so maybe my luck will run out. I have been walking around El Centro drunk and stoned recently.

I am still waiting for these things to happen that I hear about. I am not too proud to write it here if something happens. We shall see.

I had sex with about 500 girls in CR and 150+ in Medellin. In CR I was like a machine, going through my mental rolodex of things to organize so the hookers would not be able steal anything. In Medellin, I barely pay attention. I have left my wallet on the counter with money in it to test the girls. Nothing. Ever. Almost all of the girls that I invite over are somewhat intimidated by my apartment. Most of the thieves one will encounter are from the high end places or the internet and the low end places. I don't swim in these pools. I also do not consider El Centro casas the low end as many of the best girls in these places are very sweet and trustworthy.

Continuing with the El Centro casas, I still like them but am becoming bored also. I am looking to have 2-3 girls in El Centro and this is it. I have not contacted one girl that I know since I have been in Medellin. I could open the floodgates to referrals and threesomes but I am motivated to do things on my own right now and with different girls. My sex drive is lower than ever but considering that I am going to be here a bunch going forward I am motivated to go searching for quality. Quality to me are the barrio girls 18-20 who have freaky hot, skinny bodies and don't work in El Centro or are overly involved with the internet. These girls IMO are not easy to pickup and require some Spanish and persistence. I do everything on foot or in taxis, meeting girls face to face. I usually don't even have sex with them upon the first meeting. Usually just a soda and an exchange of numbers. Just need to give the seeds I have planted a few days to grow and this is it. As you said this is where the judgement call comes in on whether to bring them to your apartment or to a love motel. Love motels in El Centro are $7-8 for 2-3 hours.

When I call these girls, they are normally bored in their houses with nothing to do. I enjoy meeting them for lunch in their barrios. These girls are not university students. These girls are poor and uneducated. I try to give them advice but I can only suggest money management as these girls have no futures in the working world. Many of these girls have trouble doing very simple things. The body, essence, and attitude turns me on though. All they want to hear are sweet nothings and want some money. With these girls there are no fantasies or I love yous. Just friends with benefits having sex and spending time together. I already have one. Just need 2-3 more and I will be good.

What I have written above, with regards to picking up really hot girls off the street, is advanced mongering and IMO is a waste of time and can be dangerous for you guys on short trips and for those who don't know the city well. I met a BM recently who just spent a week in Medellin. He stayed at The Mayo and had sex there. He also had sex in the Centro casas, Energy, went to a high end party in El Poblado, and picked up a sweet street girl in El Centro for 40 k BBBJ plus 17 k for the room. Pretty impressive week IMO. He was focused on his goals with the girls and, in turn, received great experiences. Maybe he will write a report.

[UltraHappy]

I have seen old gringos staying at the Mansion on there monthly rate of $1350. They mostly do short time with the girls at 150,000 cop.

And they rarely go out with the girls so their expenses are low.

Met one old timer that buys cheap electronics on ebay and offers the girls a cheap tablet that cost 50 bucks instead of the 150 K cop.

Most of the old farts at the Mansion. Are in their mid to late sixties. Bang one girl a day and stay on a budget of between 4 and 5 thousand a month.

The one that trades cheap electronics for sex probably spends less than that.

Sounds like a nice way to spend one's retirement, at least for part of the year. Maybe one day, I will be lucky enough to enjoy some of my golden years in this way. I would think it would be more economical to spend split one's time between the Mansion, and and an apartment. That way, you get the benefits of the Mansion, but also the benefit of a cheaper apartment rental the rest of the time.

I only wonder what a retiree does to occupy one's time in Medellin when one is done banging those one or two hotties a day? I mean, I think I would go crazy there after the newness wears off. Sure, I could go to Spanish school there for 6 months to become fluent, but what would I do after that? Fortunately for me, I still have a lot of time to figure out all out. Still, I wonder what these guys do with all the rest of their day in Medellin day after day once they've been there awhile?

I have always lived in Medellin long periods, like 2-6 months thus the Mansion is not bearable economically speaking, but it can be cheaper since you take a low risk.
