Medellin Reports

[Captain Solo]

2001.

What restaurants in that area would be open after 8?

The main shopping street South of Parque Berrio (Bolivar?) has thousands of pedestrian during day time. Are shops open, people walking after sundown?

[Member #2001]

Lugnut, I am there almost everyday and never seen or heard anything like that ever happening, and yea I go there at night too, after 8. There are some lookers out at that hour, but not as many. I usually end up there for the drinks and sitting on the bench with the other gringos. Drinks are cheaper in that area.

We might even ran into each other and not even know it.

If it happens to you or anyone else just yell LATRON LATRON and see what happens. Cops want to keep that place safe for the tourists and it has changed since my first or even my last visit here. Its unusual to hear your story, but you have my sympathies.

There's no right way to get from the airport. I've done taxis, the bus, had a Facebook girl with a car pick me up (and give me a handjob while I fingered her on the drive to Medellin, before the tunnel existed) and had 2 regular girls I know pick me up.

If I'm arriving day time and traveling light, I'll take the bus to San Diego, if I'm staying in Poblado, Envigado or Sabaneta, then hop on a south bound bus. If I'm staying in Laureles, arriving day time and traveling light, bus to Nutibara, metro to Estadio. If one of my regular girls is available (and I'm not avoiding her for a few days), I'll have her pick me up.

Traveling heavy, or arriving late, straight to the taxis.

Except I'll probably be renting a car again next time.

I was planning a trip in 15-20 days and was wondering how many cases and any restrictions on clubs etc. I would really appreciate any insides.

This is earth.

Jaja, good work.

[Mr Enternational]

Right now many people are hurting for money and that shadows moral character. Maybe once the Covid subsides these incidents will also fade.

This is earth. People always have been and always will be hurting for money.

The question isn't whether it's safe to walk around El Centro at night. The real question is why would anyone want to walk around El Centro at night? Most of the places are closed after about 8 pm. The only street girls out after 8 pm are generally not the cream of the crop.

Perhaps you should be a little more specific about what really is the cream of the crop later in the evenings in Centro. I say this because there will be some who may think just maybe not as many beauty queens out.

After dark, and later into evenings your going to have an assortment of glue sniffer's, druggies, drunks, homeless people, zombies, and suspect providers prowling around, which truly is the "cream of the crop" of Centro. LOL.

I think they raise the price quit a bit. My info is just before pandemic. There is a drink price list behind the bar before, not sure if it is still there. You tip the dancer 2000 COP. You can get the waiter to exchange 2 k bills for you or you can go to the bar to exchange it. I exchange 50 mil at a time. You will exchange it more than once if you stay long. 320 mil to take girl to the room is about right. It was 300 mil before. If you want to be sure, ask a few more girls to see if they all give you the same price. You can pay by credit card

Pay by credit card, interesting, I didn't know that, but can't see a lot of guys doing it, but I guess you could chalk up some points on a card if you frequented the place a lot. LOL.

[Osteoknot]

The crazy part is this cheap hotel has best WiFi Internet strength of any hotel I have ever been to in Medellin. Go Figure!

How do members feel about walking around El Centro at night. I have only heard negative things about the safety, but then the same things are said about Santa Fe in Bogota. (If you stick to the 3 carreras between Cll. 23 & 24 it is pretty safe). Is there a limited area that is safe and enjoyable?

If you are curious, search for Occidental here to read the reports. I also reported it in the Map and List thread. This strip club is near the more sketchy area. Basically there is not much that will interest you. If you want to go, survey it during daytime, and leave the same way you arrive. Night time can be very different from day time so you don't want to go to the place you don't know. The day time market can be occupied by wall to wall glue sniffers at night.

El Centro has no police presence at night while Santa Fe does. El Centro also has a lot more drug users

Now that you put it in those terms I am team bus forever! LOL! I can drop two low end loads for the savings of bus transport. But seriously, there is a lot to be said for a no waiting, no hassle door to door transfer.

Can someone explain how la isla works?

I've gone twice now. Paid 20 mil cover each time.

Got charged 30 mil for a water and thought it would be 20 mil. Could be gringo taxed.

How much are you supposed to tip the girls when they come up and ask for tips for dance?

I tipped one 20 mil just to ask her how much it is to fuck girls here and get a run down. She said 320 mil.

Now parque Lleras.

I'm not fond of it. There's Camilla who I think is the only street girl worth while there. I've gone into parque Lleras club melow moet club and I've gotten a few whatsapp and quoted ranging from 350 mil to 500 mil. But there is so much silicone in there.

I've yet to go to gusto but just felt it wasn't worth it after parque Lleras club. Am I missing something? I had higher hopes for parque Lleras.

2 k is the standard tip for the girls when they come around at La Isla or any of the strip clubs. The waiters at La Isla will bring you a stack of 2 k bills for a 50 k bill. Expect them to take out a couple for a tip.

Personally, I think going alone to La Isla is a waste of time. Get together with 3 or 4 friends, buy a bottle and get a table and it's a good time.

I think Parque Lleras, as a source for girls is overrated. It's better to go with a friend, buy a beer at one of the little stores and walk the streets. Maybe check out some of the clubs, or just people watch.

Today was proof for me that putting the time into Facebook is worth it. As I mentioned earlier I've built up a list of about 600 girls as compared to 20 on my first trip. Now the interesting thing about Facebook as others have stated is that it starts to take a life of its own after you get a critical mass and its the girls that start contacting you that are the interesting ones. In my case, some are not prepagos and others are semi-pros or what ID call prepagos in denial.

As I'm writing this I just had one date with what turned out to be a prepago in denial. And have the next two days booked with other girls that have not mentioned a price at all.

I'll call my date tonight see. She's tall, thin with small breasts, a shapely butt and has a pleasant paisa face. She' told me she was 19. When I talked with her over whatsapp to set up the date, I asked her "necessitas dinero por el taxi o alyo mas" as a discreet way to see if she'd quote me a price. She asks me "que mas?" and luckily I remembered she had a daughter and told her for the babysitter. Anyway she arrived and we went to get hotdogs nearby (her idea) for 12 k including drinks, which we ate at the apartment. We then talked for a while. The sex was 120% GFE for all the good and bad of that term. She had me going down on her for half an hour and said she came 3 times. As far as the sex she couldn't hear of using a condom because she had an iud. Believe me I tried to insist but ended up giving in. She liked to get reamed hard was scratching and screaming up a storm. We had sex both in the bed and standing in the shower. But the bad part of the GFE equation was that she was not into blowing me. She did for a while but it was unenthusiastic and she told me she wasn't in to it. In sum though I had one of those classic paisa experiences that a number of you have written about. All in all she staid with me 4 hours before having to go home. When we left I got quoted the babysitting bill, taxi and gift for her which ended up being 170 k. So that's where ID say the prepago in denial part comes in. But all in all I have no regrets and definitely got my money's worth.

Tomorrow I've got a lunch date at a restaurant and dinner date (making pasta for the girl in my apt) lined up. It remains to be seen if they are nonpros or prepagos in denail /-semis. On Thursday I may see a see again and will be seeing my PSE girl I met at newlife on my first trip in the evening. Beyond that we will see.

I was attacked at 52 and 52. Directly in front of Tostao'. It was a Friday afternoon, a DIA sin IVA. Full daylight and many people out. Knowledge was very near when it happened, although he did not see it (we were not together).

Two men approached me and demanded money, one displayed a knife and then they immediately went hands-on. We were in a scuffle. Nobody around made a peep. Can't blame them for not intervening when a stranger is attacked by someone with a knife.

I did break free and got away, scratched up but otherwise ok.

I speak Spanish and informed the police there in the plaza, but they gave ZERO fucks.

Probably what many find hard to believe is that something like this would occur in broad day-light in a busy area, yet this is what goes on. These guys targeted you, I'm assuming your an obvious gringo, and they were hoping you would be scared, and just hand over your belongings with no resistance and be gone in under a minute.

Your experience should serve as a reminder that when you least expect it, you can become a target in Medellin, not only in El Centro, but in Poblado as well, which has been brought up many, many times before on this thread.

You can never become complacent, meaning let your guard down.

Looking forward to your trip report.

Bwahahah.

I'm sure you won't like it, it certainly won't include your specialty, licking CCP anal warts!!
