I have been searching the forum for a while and have yet to find out where these mansions are. Everyone seems to be keeping to info a secret for some reason. I landed last night and was even trying to see about booking a room at the mansion. There is a dude selling the info for $75 but that seems ridiculous. Can anyone help me out here?

There is a guy on Youtube I saw a while back who was 'selling' info -but that was for how to get and find Loutron--which is a mansion that is used as a casa / brothel-but not the Mansion-which is a hotel for mongers-newbies especially like you-that is referenced here hundreds of time--there's a whole entire section in the Colombia chat list dedicated to the Mansion. Any real reading through the forums here would offer plenty of information about the place and how to find it / reserve rooms and what shenanigans go on there.

I can't answer because, like Playboy magazine, I only read Slapshots posts for the written content.

Are we talking about the views of the "pink snapper" in his photo's, screw the views of the valley!

Is this the restaurant you pass while climbing the hill on the way to the airport?

I don't really pay attention on the drives from airport but I don't think so.

He is a genius! Incredible how smart people can find opportunities to make money out of everything.

is terrible, great advertising though, but in terms of taste and quality, like Jose Cuervo tequila.

I give you kudos for finding such an effective way to express the concept! Only one tequila is worse, for price-to-quality ratio: Patron. At least, Jose Cuervo is cheap.

(but if you find a "Reserva de la Familia" you discover that Jose Cuervo ALSO makes top quality tequilas).

Taxis, Uber, and DiDi run 24/7. Be careful getting a taxi on the street, especially around Parque Llerus. There are some dishonest drivers. Make sure the meter is on and reset. It should start at 3600, I think. There is also a minimum fare. I think it is now 5800. It's best to use an app to hail a ride. Cabify is an app for the regular taxis. All taxis operating in and around Medellin are yellow. There are white taxis that go between the airport and Medellin. All that being said, I have found most drivers are honest. Prices are cheap, but prices of Uber and Didi go up at night and when it is raining.

It fucked up my fone, I lost count of how many apps it put on my fone, many games etc.

I'm guessing they are malware / spyware etc.

If I had to guess I would say I deleted over 50 apps and they kept popping back up.

I had to do a factory reset.

I also love the Didi app it makes it so much easier for a newbie, order on your phone (the price is upfront and given to you on app) car pulls up get in and don't have to say anything at all to driver, get to destination give the agreed price and carry on! Repeat on way back!

I think I've just about filled up a notebook worth of notes for my first trip. I'm 39, been married for 12 years, and this is the first boys trip I've had in. 12 years. How is the transportation situation there? I'm worried about being stuck in some seedy bar at 4 am with no way home LOL are taxis or uber running 24/7?

What are beers / mixed drinks costing right now in Medellin? Prices at bars, strip clubs, and then just liquor stores? And is everything opened regularly again? No curfew? Sorry for the all the questions. When I visit in a few weeks, I'll make sure to post about my experiences. Thanks guys!

It all depends on where you're drinking. If you're in Parque Lleras expect to pay 10 k and up for beer and as much as 40 k for a mixed drink. If you're in Laureles drop that down to 6 k and up for beer and up to about 30 k for mixed drinks. In liquor stores you'll pay between 2 k and 6 k for a beer. In bars in El Centro you can get a beer for 3-4 k.

www.hotelmedellinplaza.com Carrera 43 No. 2 Sur 50 May not let you in the hotel unless you are a guest. The bar is open I believe 6 pm-2 am now. You can go in there entry maybe up to 50 K. Recommend going after 10 pm, as more chicas appear.

Got you beat by 10 yrs mate but we all pale before the sprightly octogenarian that graced our board recently.

Being an optimist, I figure I should have at least 26 yrs more yrs of mongering.

More than that would be great, but even if only 26 more years that would be heavenly.

I want to make it to 100 mongering, is that possible?

I sure hope he can be our beacon / role-model for at least another 20 yrs.

Hello, this my first trip to Colombia. I arrive late on Thursday and then stay in Medellin from Friday to Sunday before taking off toe Santa Marta. If anyone would like to grab a beer, please DM me. I know I'll be taken advantage of by the Paisa, so any wingman help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
