Medellin Reports

[MaddTraveler]

Quick intro.

I know I didn't properly introduce myself to the Forum so my apologies. I'm new here, from FL, early 40's, black dude, work in Finance + a day trader w few small biz. I've been to mult countries and picked up some Spanish from my adventures in the DR and Costa Rica. I've been to Colombia only a couple times before this trip so by no means I'm an expert quite yet even w my extensive experience in other countries.

MISC preparation.

- Took PCR test (Negative) although it was no longer a requirement. I wanted to ensure myself that I arrived clean. (Fully vaccinated w Pfizer).

- Check MiG is required or you won't be able to check in at the Airport (departure).

Chica preparation. SA, cupid, FB, tinder (deciding to retire from those, read on.)

- SA: Since I've had success with SA (seeking punto com) even in the states, I reinstated my membership couple weeks back and matched with at least 20 chicas daily when they add you as favorites. Lots of messages and I had at least 12 solid ones ranging from 8-10 that I each whatsapp with. But honestly SA is better in the states since our hobby is illegal there. So instead of taking risks with escorts, it's better to have a college beauty come spend the weekend in each for few hundred bucks. There are still risks and some scams but minimal as long as you don't send money to anyone upfront. In Colombia the game of the scammers is having their profile location in Medellin, then once you're communicating they're quick to say OH, I'm not in Medellin now, but if you invite me I will come join you, where obviously you must send her money for the trip and you'd just send some guy some free money somewhere. A couple of them said they didn't want money, only wanted to date and be pampered, even those I'm skipping since too suspicious.

- Cupid: Joined and had few matches, but cancelled / closed account and ceasing comm with all even real ones due to too many scams. This is now pure garbage, and I'm tired of chatting and falling in love with men pretending to me women w stolen pics LOL. Not worth it.

- Tinder / FB: I have about 200 fb beauties on an anonymous acct, all from Medellin mostly. But didn't contact any of them for this trip. I met some nice non-pros from Tinder last trip, but staying away from there this time around. Last trip was Dec 2020 and we had a curfew and made more sense to use those platforms then, but now I'm not seeing the need.

Airport arrival.

- Trip was slightly delayed from my departure, but worked out ok since I would've arrived too early for check in anyway.

- Medellin Airport was a breeze, approx 30 minutes in line.

- Once you pass immigration, luggage and custom, you can go upstairs before the exit to exchange money. The money exchanges downstairs were offering 3100, upstairs it's 3560 LOL, huge difference and.

It's close to what you can get at a good exchange in the streets. So I exchanged some of my stash there and went to find a taxi. Mafia asked for 100 k even though the going rate is 80 k. No biggie dude was.

Cool, we joked the entire trip, he has farms and small business trying to get rich. Took his number and paid him 120 k to show him I wasn't a cheap gringo after we got stuck in traffic ourselves.

Hotel and chica day 1. Arrival Sat 6/26.

- Ok this is the fun part. I usually stay in Poblado or Laureles. But since I'm here for 3 weeks, I only booked first week and decided to stay at Nutibara (845 k for 9 nights, double occupancy and can bring chicas at no fees). I booked it as such but during check-in they said it was for one, I negotiated and showed from booking what I requested and paid for, and they corrected it for no add'l charge (Great svc, thanks). I always stay in mult places on longer trips, why? Cause I'm partially nuts and get bored quickly. Got a nice room, high floor, glad to have a nice desk so I can work remotely (trading).

One of my fav hotel is Dorado la 70 which I might go to next week, but to do a quick comparison: Nuti has a safe where Dorado doesn't and it's big plus, hot water took 5 seconds vs Dorado which takes forever, Nuti is more chica friendly, breakfast just as decent, and can save on taxi roundtrips for the centro adventures which are within walking distance. I've been working from home like a cripple past few months, and can use the exercise, see people and walk around during the day. Besides Centro to me is the real Medellin, and I'm tired of feeling like a bank account especially in Poblado. Although my 3rd week I may spend few days there.

- So here we are, took a shower and updated few chicas I'm in town, even though I'm not feeling the vibe and planning to eliminate all of them later (Explained what happened below). Arranged for first SA chica to come at 8 p. She was the most friendly and most eager, solid 7.5 attitude 9. Meanwhile I went to two local bars, didn't write the names but had some ugly strippers, had one beer in each then left (5 k beer). Grabbed some food on a restaurant behind the hotel, food was good (12 k). It's now about 6 Pm.

- Back to room to nap. Now you might be thinking why stay in a dump comparing to the other fancy hotels and airbnbs in Medellin, also how could that impress the SA dimes? I have no pool, no jacuzzi, etc LOL. Well honestly, I cancelled some bookings on my previous plans to pamper some of these beauties. I did so after my overwhelming experience and aggression from many of them including the scam attempts, the lies, etc. WG are getting desperate.

I decided to make this trip different, yes I'm here with $5 k cash in hand plus a lot more that I can allocate, but I am tired of being a bank account. Meaning these girls put on a nice front, nice show, then really they aint worth shit. I know they're hoes and I'm not looking for love nor relationships. If I mention love here, I'm just screwing around and joking. I grew up and matured a lot since I became an investor, hence spending and doing wiser transactions even with hoes. For ex, many prev trip reports incl mine stated few Centro girls would charge 30 k, then put on some make up to charge 200 k in Lleras going after the suckers. Nothing wrong with that, just don't be that pappy chulo always. Why not spend half of your time in Gusto or Lleras, Isla or pricy girls, then other half with local down to earth girls that will ask for less at times? Yes Centro is not the safest and not for everyone, but it's not as scary as some make it seem honestly. These are mainly poor merchants in the streets trying to make a living. I just wanted to be around real people, see real life. Lleras to me is all fake, and all after my money. A pig with lipstick is still a pig LOL. Yes late at night I will go to lleras and will probably outspend you, and it's a fair balance to play the game.

Chica time.

- My date with first SA chica was to go have dinner, then go to lleras area for some drinks, dancing, then back to my place and she'd likely spend the night. No talk or discussion of money. It's one advantage of non pros on SA if you have the patience for it. Still going to eliminate it, but I must say it's still a valuable hunting source. So she's late, an hour late now. And it's past 9 Pm. I wrote her and said I'm leaving and to cancel, and then she claim she's 15 minutes away. Then 30 minutes later, 9:40 sh. Still no show, and said 15 minutes away again LOL. At that point I said this is it. I am DONE, AND DONE. That same rollercoaster happens each trip to many of us. I immediately decided I won't let any chica, who not only sees me as an ATM machine, to ruin my mood and vacation. Many others wanted to see me, and maybe I just chose the wrong one, oh well. I made it to Lleras alone, walkd around and found this beautiful blonde blanca. I had no chance (ya, a black man's kryptonite as they say). So I attempted to go the nearby Cabanas for two hours, but they only had deals for 6 hours 120 k, and another hotel in Lleras wanted 120 k for 1 hour, no gracias. I told taxi to take me to my hotel, and girl had askd for 200 k, but I offerd 150 k and acceptd. All smiles, very GFE and OMG she was sooo pretty, soft skin, already feeling a bonner and as I said. She had me.

Taxi cost from lleras back to Hotel incl stops at Cabana 14 k total, was one of the honest ones.

I expected to find SA chica waiting in lobby and she was. Wow. Almost two hours later, likely didn't have enough pesos for a trip back home. I walkd in, told Lleras chica to give me a min, walkd SA girl outside of Hotel lobby and askd her how much spent on taxi and how much to go back home. She said she don't know, she was very upset, almost about to cry. I said 80 k and she said sure but I gave her 100 k and she left. I really hated that, not just spending money for no reason, but the way some of these dumb bitches are. Told her clearly like 3 times to turn around and I'm not going to be there but she still came. I understand the need for money and the harsh times some of these are going through, unemployed, etc. So I can empathize even though I am not here to do charity, or maybe we are. The overall aggression and expectations sometimes is what gets me, and I know there are worse cases and this one could've really been stranded with no cash. It's better to not deal with someone who's too desperate or be in the unknown. This is why some guys negotiate everything and have everything in writing and I don't blame them.

It's the part of what I mean by being a bank acct, she prob spent 10 k to arrive and wanted to get paid for her time anyway, and wouldn't treat a local Colombian that way. So the more I can eliminate those events and me a foreigner being taken advantage of, the better. Which is I immediately blocked, deleted all other SA contacts, closed all accounts. I'm done with all online BS for now. I didn't block the other SA girls but removed all from contact list, and there's only one if she contacts me I might partake. Otherwise no more ONLINE BS or appointments.

- Llera chica was super freaky yet classy. She put on some nice raggaeton music, bluetooth to my speaker, danced, lap dance, then naked lap dance, super hard bonner. Then great BBBJ for at least 20 minutes. I don't go down on putas but I was tempted since she had a beautiful pussy. So we kissed a little, condom, missionary, sweet moans OMG she's feeling great. I almost nuttd but decided nah. Let's flip you around. Doggy it is and she likes it and moaning louder, turned around for kissing while in doggy. At this point I'm grabbing her and some hard pounding you know it's coming. LOL, then ohhhhhh shit here it is. Damn girl, that was some good shit, she smiled and didn't understand what I just said. We layed down and cuddled a bit. She dressed up and left. 150 K, 11 k propina for taxi. Look is Solid 8, performance 9.

Standby for day 2.

First time here. Did zero prep work. Don't speak a word of Spanish. I didn't realize how fucked I was until the immigration officer said something in half English and I could not understand until she wrote it down on paper. I'm in a hotel next to parque Lleras for the night. Just getting my bearings and getting some rest after a long flight. Tomorrow I'm checking into the mansion for several days. Will I be alright there or should I learn some basic Spanish? Also, any good casual restaurant recommendation near parque Lleras?

Thanks.

Why would you do that? Why would you go to a foreign country and not even consider learning some of the basics of the language? WTF is wrong with you people??

[MikeCct]

Hey guys,

I'm preparing for my trip to Medellin in a few weeks where I plan to stay for a few weeks (3-4) and am currently in the process of meeting chicas from a combination of Tinder / SA and FB. My initial plan is to have around 20-30 watsapp contacts of chicas interested in meeting knowing that a percentage will flake along the way.

From anyone's past experience, how many prospects do you tend have going a trip and I'm curious what is the flake rate you can expect?

Thanks.

Rather than Spanish, I am worried about organizing and decision-making skills. Foreign travel may not be for you.

Once you get to the Mansion, just down the hill is La Strada Centro Comercial (Mall). I'm not sure what all is still open inside, but there is a Parmessano restaurant there which serves decent Italian food. There's also a Burger King.

Not far from there are the Oviedo and Santa Fe malls. Each has lots of different restaurants. Crepes and Waffles is pretty good and there's a location in both malls.

[Daga2222]

I touched down yesterday and stayed at a hotel near parque Lleras. Today I check in to the mansion. Couple of thoughts about parque Lleras. It's extremely loud at night. Honestly all I really wanted was to get some rest after a long flight and a hotel near lleras was a huge mistake. Just loud as hell. I did end up going out at night and picking up a girl to bring back to my room. She was alright, not great, not bad. I paid her 100 k which I thought was reasonable.

I have to say that Lleras is really not my jam. Too many people, too loud, and I don't like the idea of having to go out and pick up girls (even if it's just telling them "how much? Let's go to my hotel") I would rather just be spoon fed girls straight to my room. Hopefully mansion delivers this.

How reliable is photoprepagos? I don't see it mentioned much on forums but if it works well that would ideal for me. I didn't get Facebook set up before coming but have started contacting girls now (not sure if it's going to work). I might try out some casas and massage places as well to mix it up, but I think I'm done picking up girls in lleras or centro.

[The Tall Man]

Wow the number of pregnant chicas, the vast majority of them vennies, out selling their prego tummies and heavily 'used' bareback pussy (hehehe) is startling and of which I have not observed anytime in the past 10 years in and around centro. Counted no less than 10 of varying degrees of tummy pop out.

It was slammed with action all around centro and Botero and the vera with probably the most people and putas and activity but again this was a Saturday afternoon.

I tried to order a washer and fridge online on the Colombian Homecenter website to have it delivered to my apartment right when I arrive in 3 weeks. I'm currently in California and I used my Chase credit card to pay for the items and I got an error message. I was thinking maybe it's the credit card, so I used my Colombian Bancolombia debit card instead and still got the same message. Is it because I'm in the USA and the website is not properly working like it would if I was actually in Colombia? Anyone here have experience with this? I plan on ordering all the big ticket items (furniture, mattress / bed frame, dining table / chairs) online and in advance of my trip so that when I land, the stuff will arrive within days of each other. I already booked a cheap place nearby for a few days while I gradually furnish the new apartment. BTW, lots of affordable stuff online through the Exito and Homecenter pages. I might even try to open an Exito credit card to get the extra discounts, but probably not since that process could be a hassle.

I strongly advise against ordering anything online in regards to furnishings and appliances. And it has nothing to do with being able to pay for the items. I have been thru the process, and your better off to physically touch / feel everything your thinking of buying. As an example you may have dimensions for a refrigerator, yet it might not be all that good, let alone the comfort of a mattress. Actually your best bet for appliances will be Exito or Jumbo as they typically discount everything on the weekends, and if in stock can be delivered the next day. As far as furnishings, there are several stores that can deliver within a few days and you can see how comfortable they are. What may fit your dimensions and look pretty in the pictures mat be horribly uncomfortable like a mattress. You could easily within one day of physically shopping at an EXITO / JUMBO and a furniture store like Jamar have everything within a few days. This is just my advice based on personal experience. Also, when buying in person, at some furnishing places, not EXITO or JUMBO, you can negotiate for extras and or discounts, I did this when buying mattresses. Good luck!

Not many of the girls can speak EN at HM, but its not usually a problem to give a nudge and a wink. Those communications are universal and usually end you up in the bedroom in no time.

The staff though, mainly do speak EN, and of course all the guests do too (nearly all).

WRT to restos near Pqe Lleras. Just use Google Maps. There are doxens and dozens of restos within a few blocks, all walkable. Depends what type of food you want. I doubt my choices would be yours, but I love Zaaika (Indian), Dharma (veggie, great for lunch, near Pqe Poblado).

Chances are good that I will be in Poblado later today. Or centro. Haven't quite decided.

Try using a VPN to see if location is the difference.

[BeachBumCeo]

Pretty safe till after about 8 pm, then I'm out of there!

Keep your eyes open tho, even daytime.

Most of the hot ones in Centro, I saw in Parque Lleras as well, LOL.
Even some not so hot ones, lol.

I'd see them the next day in Botero, back to normal pricing, LOL.

Enjoy!

Great advice. Both on the timeline for safety (basically get out of there when the sun sets). And "Why pay more for the same pussy?

I'm headed to Medellin the middle of July, so I appreciate your insights.

JJbee,

Was this the antigen test or the PCR, the latter is I think more sensitive, and perhaps you best confirm with one before subjecting yourself to the quarantine from a false positive, as you said no vaccine is 100% effective but at least with respect to avoiding hospitalization and death it's pretty close to that. Also since you are vaccinated you may clear this faster than most, so retesting in 5-7 days is not unreasonable I would think, particularly if you don't have symptoms.

This literally is my big concern about travel there at this time where it's running rampant. It can easily ruin return travel plans.

It was the antigen test. I have enough symptoms now that I'm pretty sure it's not a false positive. I plan on getting retested in 5-7 days and hoping for the best.

[GeneHickman]

Just got my Covid test results for my return to the US. Positive.

Although I don't feel terrible, having to stay in a hotel room for 1 to 2 weeks isn't my idea of a good time.

Planning my 5th trip later this year.

My cheap go to, 24 HR, Braza Pan behind Nutibara Hotel on the corner next to the Metro? (corner of Maracaibo & Bolivar).

My cheap seafood across from the SW corner of Parque Bolivar, Ostras Marbella? (Calle 54 & Carr 49).

My fav breakfast place on Carr 49, walking street Paseo Junin, Versalles Restaurante why Pasteleria?

And my fav higher end food in Centro:

Hacienda. Junin?

Cafe Colombo Credenza?

I think I already heard Botanko Bistro (next to Casa New Life) closed.

Also if they reopen Hotel Botero let me know! Will do Hotel Nutibara otherwise but I love the top floors in the Botero facing west, great view, good breeze and less noise up high.

Versalles is open don't know about any of the rest of them.
