For lack of more familiar terms.
There are alpha mongers and beta mongers.
Conversely there are want to be alpha hookers and beta hookers.
They all tend to seek out their polar opposites, at least typically.

The notion that countries like Colombia did not take Corona seriously is a joke. Colombia has taken the virus way more seriously than Mexico or the USA, and it is still raging. This finding just re-emphasized to me that all generalized lockdowns do is destroy economies. IMO the shame of it all is that so much of the energy is misdirected. All this emphasis on hand washing and sanitizer when the virus is spread through the air kind of irked me.
Just smile and politely deal with the bossy security personnel in front of every hotel. They are treating everyone like shit not just you. LOL.
Hotels are using Corona to charge guest fees for anyone you bring into a hotel. When I say guest fees, I mean they will charge you like the guest has to have her own room. I do not know about love hotels, but if you cannot register a guest upfront, look at going to cheaper hotels for short term hookups or maybe look to airbnb.
As for getting your PCR test, instead of booking from one city direct to Colombia, I booked two separate tickets on Spirit: one to Fort Lauderdale and one to Colombia the next day. In Lauderdale, I rented a car and went to labdoctor. Org and prepaid the $179 for the PCR Covid. I went there at 4 PM to get tested. They have a way to send you results via email or text but I think I entered my information too late. So I had to go back to the clinic at 8 AM and have the results printed out by hand. The nurse assured me that they would have results before my flight, and they did.
I used my phone to take a picture. I then googled how to convert a jpg to pdf online and then googled how to compress a PDF file. The PCR Covid test has to be small to be uploaded. You will get a confirmatory email from the Colombian government. That email will be needed when you enter Colombia.
Last I checked, Spirit has flights to multiple cities in Colombia, Viva is flying to Medellin from Miami, and American is now flying to Cartagena.
Needing two masks on the flight was not enforced. There was no meal or beverage service on the flight so stock up before hand.

Posts: 2095Lovely week in Medellin
Like most of you here, I was desperate to get back to MDE. I booked and they cancelled multiple flights. I was getting frustrated and booked a trip to GDL Mexico. Two days before travel, September 21 opening was confirmed. I could not find a ticket to MDE so I booked through BOG but on the day of flight one ticket opened up on Spirit (X 4 the original ticket price plus change fees) but will all COVID hassle I figured I would rather go direct to MDE and I am glad I did. It has already been well described here what is needed to get into CO so I won't rehash. It was smooth and no issues with migration. *Just do your online registration 24 hours before and don't wait till last minute. *.
Life is slow but not dead. I actually enjoyed the reduced traffic. Many restaurants are closed but there are enough open and some bars are open. I did not venture out to bars but spent almost every evening with my dates in the hotel roof top bar, which was awesome. I realized how much I missed the lovely weather, city views and sharing music / Gin and tonics with sweet paisas before getting into a hot jacuzzi couple of floors down or the pool. I split my stay between a house with a three bedroom unit and private heated pool (with two other friends) and a new modern hotel in the heart of Provenza with amazing views (alone). I find very few Provenza options with views so I am happy to find this. Both places were very good in their way.
Mongering: I don't do centro casas anymore. One friend wanted to go to casas so we did one afternoon. I contacted Energy (used to be my favourite Casa) on whatsapp and they said they had 10 working. We took a taxi there and none impressed us so we left. One buddy knew of a Casa in a 10 floor residential building in the general Estadio area. It was bit of a hassle to get in, Porteo logging in our IDs etc and had to wait at the door for like 15 minutes, elevator malfunction so we had to walk up six floors but there were three cute friendly girls for the three of us. Very Nice bodies and decent faces. 130,000 CBJ and 150,000 BBJ. Showers with hot water. In fact both my friends got numbers from their girls and saw them again at our hotel. That is telling in itself.
I did two to three sessions a day. I don't do street. I used to do Fase but they are closed. La Isla is open but I did not go. I don't see a need for clubs but I do enjoy the high energy atmosphere and the vibe of hanging out with friends.
I don't use Tinder.
I am mainly an FB guy but for the last couple of years it is almost 100%, friends of girls I know. I pay comission to each girl that sends me so I never find myself short on availability, even close to midnight. More importantly, having mutual contacts is way more secure than a random online contact. I had 15 dates in 6 days and some of the girls I saw twice.
Return back to MIA, flight was delayed by nearly 2 hours but with Global Entry, I was able to make my connection. No questions asked.
I have already booked my trip for October. Hope CO does not change the rules and will keep up the pace of opening. I wear a mask, stay hydrated, wash hands frequently and take my vitamins and don't worry about COVID. Have fun and stay safe.

Very helpful report Colombialvr as I was curious about the lleras area. I could never see traveling for such a short stay though but I guess work requires you back.

So most likely it doesn't work, that's why there are so many reports and so many arrests, because it doesn't make you sleep. Anyway, I doubt I can get drugged this way. And fuck Tinder, I'm not even going to install it. I'm sure there is enough pussy on the street for a few gringos.

Posts: 586I'm at the airport now. Heading home to work for a few weeks before I return in later October for another round. A few comments.
1) I went to Lleras last night. Place was pretty dead. While discos don't open until November, Lleras Town and Beer Store were open and were both pretty full. Lleras Town closed at 1.
2) Airport. Do not be one of those last minute gringos. Get there earlier. You will wait in line outside to have your flight information checked. Then you'll get your temperature tested and be offered (or asked to use) hand sanitizer. The Spirit line was pretty slow, but that may have been because there were a bunch of gringos who spoke zero Spanish. Geez. Could not even pronounce the word for bathroom! I discovered that I was supposed to complete the information on the Colombia migration page again. The guy was nice and did it for me, but it took some time. SO BE SURE YOU COMPLETE THE FORM UPON ENTRY AND UPON EXIT. Not much open in the airport. Beyond migracion, Guy's burgers was open, but the other restaurants were closed.
Gringos leaving today included a big group of brothers. Probably around 30's. And a few of the stereotypical middle aged gringos.
3) Saw my high school girl again on Sunday and then went out with an old favorite on Sunday night for a few drinks and some fun afterwards.
All in all, a good first trip. Not too crazy. Just getting my rhythm back. As I said in another post, everyone seems to be doing a good job of social distancing and wearing masks in public. Did not "feel" unsafe where I was.

Just last evening I had a new Tinder girl whom I just connected with immediately and aggressively wanted to come over to my apartment and "show me a good time", I told her that I will meet her at a motel this week and take a test drive and I want her ass, hehehehe she sends me back a sad face, hehehehe.
Be careful guys.
The Tall Man.

For every one monger that does the sensible thing there are 5 more that book at the Dan Carlton, show up at Gustos and go with the first price thrown at them and then pay the chica fee at the front desk, and some of them still don't even get decent action once back in the room even as they try mightily to extract their money's worth!

I suggest you stay away from them, not a good idea to engage them.
