Is Viagra or anything like that available at the pharmacy or do you need a doctors prescription? What's the good stuff?

Posts: 137Mid December trip
Getting ready to book a trip for 10-13 days flying into and out of Bogota. I will be visiting 2-3 cities including, Bogota & Medellin and I can stay thru December 23rd. I remember reading that Christmas was slow due to Colombians spending Christmas with their families. For visitors, how are those last few days before Christmas? Thanks.

However, your budget and goals pretty much limit you to either El Centro or Santa Fe. In either place you can eat for about $10 per day and find hotels for $25 or less. That leaves enough money for 2 or 3 girls a day in the casas or off the street.

That being said, flight time and cost are pretty much the same so that wouldn't be a factor. Total budget would be $300 for 3 days. This does not include airfare. I guess the only real factors that truly matter to me are:
Safety as you said. I don't mind homeless or druggies or run down areas, however, I would not want to be by a place where I can get mugged (daytime or night time).
Lodging: I don't care care for A/C or heat but do care about having WiFi and hot water would be nice.
Food preference: none really. As long as I'm not getting sick from the food, I'm pretty flexible with what's available around lodging.
Girls: goal is to have 2 girls a day, 3 if possible.
Also if anyone has a recommendation for a nice hotel under 60 k that is girl friendly in both cities?

I'm flying into MDE separate from a buddy. One of us is arriving on an international flight and the other is arriving on a domestic LATAM flight. Can anyone please recommend a can't miss place for one of us to sit until the other arrives near the exit for international flights?
Thanks!

However, if you have a limited time and a limited budget, the biggest factors are airfare and flight time. Unless you're flying out of Miami you'll probably spend at least half on airfare.
Here's the other problem. The people who think Medellin is best will tell you Medellin is best. The people who like Cartagena, or Bogota will suggest which ever they prefer.
Yet another problem. Cheapest assumes you don't care about anything else, including safety. In Bogota and Medellin I can find lodging for $10 per night and I can find food for under $3 per meal. Food I would eat and a room I would stay in. I could probably cut another 15%, but that's outside of my comfort zone.
Where's your comfort zone? How many passed out glue sniffers will you step over before running back to civilization? Are you going to need air conditioning and heat?
I have no problem getting around in Bogota or Medellin. I usually walk or use public transportation, although I also use Uber and taxis.
There are 2 ways to get some useful responses. You can give your budget for each city, after airfare, give the number of days you wish to stay, give your food preferences and lodging requirements and how many girls you want to see each day. Then ask for recommendations within your budget.
Or you can say what's most important for you on this trip and ask how you can achieve your goals and stay under budget.

Posts: 18I have a few days and a limited budget to make one more trip in November. I've only been to Medellin and it was a very short trip so I can definitely don't mind going again.
For those of you that have been to both places, can you please comment on the below:
1) which is generally cheaper in taking out girls?
2) which is cheaper for food and hotel?
3) which is easier to navigate through?
4) finally and I know this can be subjective, which has pretty girls?

Posts: 80Phones
Personally I buy or bring a 2nd phone so I'm not such a target. If you have a new $1000 phone it is not the smartest move to be out and about using it. Also doubles as a something to trade or gift. I got months of use and 2 tln on my last 2 nights for my $90 phone I brought.

Posts: 614Register vs. Homologate a phone
Registering a phone is not the same as homologating it. Homologated phone means that a specific model (technical features) is approved by the authorities. The model in this case doesn't mean the commercial model, like iPhone 8, because there are many variations of this model. You can find your iPhones model going to Settings, General, About and scrolling down to model. You can also find your phone's IMEI there. For Android, consult your owner's manual. In theory all the homologated models can be found here http://www.siust.gov.co/siic/publico...nal-homologada but it seems to be under "maintenance".
It looks like our colleague had a phone model that is not homologated (approved) in Colombia and therefore it was blocked. A phone model that is not homologated cannot be registered. If this happened to me, I wouldn't bother to homologate my phone, but I bought myself some cheap phone over there.
All this information and more can be found at this Columbian government's page https://www.crcom.gov.co/es/pagina/c...rar-tu-celular.
Cheers and keep studying Spanish, it helps.
