BBBJCIM great experience recently for 120,000 pesos. Prices are a bit higher now, but can't complain given the general inflation everywhere.
Guys still getting busted in Meddy for messing with minors. This American got caught the other day: https://youtu.be/rEWIXMaIcQ0?si=V3C_ZJ_D4-bGujK3.

And in Colombia you may get arrested in any manner they choose.
Anyway, I'm not a fan of the mayor or others implying that it is only the dirty gringos doing this. That is political and does nothing for the estimated several hundred thousand victims in the country. Hopefully that will be dealt with as well, even if it does not get the same publicity. There is awareness of the problem, and the internal look will come because many people there know it and can point it out.

And it was not just her. The women in Medellin have an edge unlike women elsewhere in the country. It is like a game to see which sex can screw over the other sex first. So there was this defensiveness and shitty attitude towards men that I did not see elsewhere in the country. The irony is a few women went out of their way to show me that they were not the money grubbing, scamming hookers so characteristic of Medellin. So yeah, the beauties are here, but they come with an edge. My gal's daughter even made a comment when we were in Mexico when a bunch of Colombians came to swim in a pool we were in. She said, "Paisas! (people from Medellin) I hate paisas. " They have no use for Medellin at all, and they are not alone.
I have been to places in Colombia where beauties abound, the countryside is gorgeous, and people do not lock their doors. The women in Bogota are not as pretty but they are classier and friendlier. If you are into women with curves, Cali is tough to beat. Barranquilla is where the famed Colombian beauties like Shakira and Sofia Vergara are from and beauties abound in that tropical climate.
So yeah, go to Asia if your dollar stretches further, but most of Colombia is not like Medellin. Not at all.

Posts: 47I will be in MDE in a few weeks, staying at a female-friendly hotel and meeting the ladies from https://lacelestina.co/ for privacy and security purposes.
I am assuming these girls are not going to drug and rob me.

Posts: 254Is Medellin Dangerous?
I have visited Medellin about 20 times over the last 8 years with some trips lasting 3 months. I have even gotten functional in Spanish. If you are careful with who you invite and where you stay, there is not a 'high chance' you will get drugged and robbed with any girl you take back. But even if you are careful in how you screen your chicas, it is impossible to make it 'no chance'. A buddy of mine stayed in a building that is well known for great security and was drugged by a chica who had gotten in with a fake ID. I had to lend him money just to eat.
That people will post here saying they personally haven't had a problem is statistically insignificant.
I returned from a 6 week trip last month. It will be my last. I loved MDE. But for me MDE is over. The chicas are getting more mercenary. The locals are getting more angry and hostile. The street has gotten more dangerous. The influx of Nomads and tourists has made logging costs unreasonable. The Peso has gotten stronger making everything more expensive.
I'm heading back to Asia.

The same is true about scuba diving, if you use YouTube videos to learn to scuba dive, it's too dangerous.
Apparently there is a gross misunderstanding about YouTube. YouTube is an Entertainment Platform. The people posting there hoping their videos will be entertaining enough to go viral and get them enough subscribers and viewers to make money. Videos stating 10,000 people visited, fucked to their heart's content and went home smiling and satisfied don't go viral. However, a video saying 1 person out of every 50,000 visitors had something bad happen might just do the trick.
Of course the videos never point out the vast majority who have no problems, only focusing on the 1, who usually ignored all the red flags.
Yes. Medellin is dangerous. It's a city of over 4 million people with a high population density and a high poverty rate. High population, high population density and high poverty rate are major factors in determining crime rate. Add in all the tourists who go for the combination of drugs and cheap pussy and it gets worse. Now toss in people who get all their information from YouTube and it's terrible.
Staying safe in Medellin is possible if you follow some common sense rules.
1. Get the fuck off YouTube. It's for cute cat videos and to watch fat women fighting in Walmart.
2. Stay sober.
3. Know where you are going. Study maps and have a plan.
4. Don't advertise. Leave your jewelry and all the expensive shit at home.
5. Carry only what you need. You don't need a wallet, 8 credit cards and $2,000 USD in cash. You need a phone, preferably 1 that isn't holding access to all your accounts. You need the cash (in pesos) you're going to spend plus 10-20%. You might need an ATM card, plus copies of your passport main page and entry stamp page.
6. Remember that you have no friends. Anyone offering to help you find girls, drugs, places to party or anything else, probably has an ulterior motive. Same goes for anyone offering drinks, or to take you somewhere.
7. Be wary of anyone offering drinks, or offering sex upon first meeting (unless you're meeting them specifically to pay for sex). Same is true for someone pushing to go to your apartment.
8. Don't leave hookers unattended with your stuff. Don't allow them to get you drinks or food.

There are so many videos on YT warning against visiting Medellin. The sex scene is too dangerous with too many druggings that have led to a big rise in deaths of Western tourists. Can anyone with first hand experience comment?
How do you take girls back to your room if you know there is a high chance that you could get drugged and robbed? Any tips? Is it safe to take a girl back if you lock away your valuables and don't take your eyes off your drink?
