Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=EstebanH;1640760]For those of you guys who have noticed, CRT has removed their Trip Reports From Around the World section. They moved it to the VIP section, which basically means no one will read it or post on it any more. My take on it is that this site is suffering and the advertisers, like Matt at La Amistad, have gotten pissed that the site had a section that did not pertain to CR. They kicked Poblado Rentals off the site. I don't know why. You can't even type Poblado anymore (it hides the letters. Its a banned word on the site). I don't know if Barry pissed someone off or it is part of their plan to focus their site on CR and get rid of us guys who like to travel to other places.

I guess this site will be one of the few sites left for Colombia info.[/QUOTE]I noticed this happened when I visited the site the other day. That section ("Trip Reports and Information from Around the World") was their most active thread, but fuck them if they think I would pay $40 to read it now (that thread was already slowing down to begin with). There were a lot of us (including you and Barry) that contributed a wealth of information to that thread over the years, and now they've put it all behind a paywall. Let that site die a slow death.

[QUOTE=Ricker;1640354]Yes, ditto the other guys, Thanks for the nice report!

Being noticed as a Gringo.

Well it used to be a good thing, of course not by the banditos, but by the muchachas.

Now, well, it can be good and / or bad thing.

Being noticed as a "cool gringo" is still a good thing now, as opposed to the other type, no explanation needed.

Thanks again!

Yep, I find the hardest part of these trips is wanting to be in 2 or 3 places at once, Lol.
Many things to do, many chicas to meet, only one man, haha.[/QUOTE]You are welcome Ricker. I am glad the report was well received and is useful for some. As for the Gringo thing, I prefer to blend in the population and not to be noticed as a Gringo. There are some advantages with the Chicas when they see you are a Gringo (e. G. You could hook up quicker at the clubs, other places, and for dates just by saying I'm from the USA), but I think there are more disadvantages (Gringo tax, magnet for delinquents and the hustlers cause on the dollar signs we have written in our foreheads). I agree that the hardest thing in Medellin is deciding from the so many places, and the too many choices and chicas. Since I'm not a sport fucker I did not have much problems with the decision making because I was satisfied with fucking once a day and the Centro day Casas pretty much did the job.

[QUOTE=Cerebro;1640453]Yes the units from [URL]tuapartamentomde.com[/URL] have private bathroom. You get a key to the building and to the apartment just like a normal apartment. Is a nice 5 floor building in a pleasant neighborhood. He offered me a unit in el centro but I told him I did not like el centro and preferred Laureles. The metro stadio station is about 15-20 min walk or you could catch a taxi there. I like walking and never took a taxi while there, just walked. I don't know if you refer to Majorista as the area where the casas are in the centro area. All I know, is that the train or busetas can get you easily from the stadio station in about 30 minutes to parque Berrio metro stop located in the centro area and from there you can walk to the numerous day casas.[/QUOTE]Thanks. The El Centro option is nice. Great room rates.

Here is a pic of several cards I collected as I was visiting some of centro casas near el Parque Berrio in Medellin. There also a card of hotel Medellin that I got there when I tried to get accommodation but it was full to capacity. Most of the casa cards were given to me on the street by guys as I was walking and looking for them.

I'm headed out there this week, I'll report back.

Within 3 blocks there are about 15 casas. New Life is located in the center of about 8 casas within 2 blocks. If you navigate your way to The Metro Station Parque Berrio you will pass another 5-7 casas on your way. Print out 5+ maps before your trip.

Good luck and report back!

[QUOTE=Shamester;1640862]Thanks. The El Centro option is nice. Great room rates.[/QUOTE]I agree. The guy of those apts is Alejandro and he collects the money after he meets with you and he is quite professional and helpful. I tried one night first in Laureles to see if I like it and I loved it therefore I booked the rest of my stay. I don't know anything about the centro location but I did not want to stay there cause that area is poor and shady and at night also gets dangerous. In any case if you book there try one night and see if you like it then decide if you want to stay. He said to me that place near el centro was a building with security and with a pool. The one in Laureles did not have security just a nice building and area and a key to the building and to the apartment. Not security needed really cause of the nice area and a big police station two blocks away.

Cerebro,

Did you get the impression that tuapartamento in Laureles is chica friendly? My favorita wants me to rent an apartment in Laureles and I love that neighborhood anyway. Are all the apartments shown on their website in the building in Laureles?

Thanks for your help & great report!

It is just an advertising site designed to promote their sponsors. 1/2 the post are from the sponsors or people acting on their behalf. For example take the Sportsmen's Lodge, during it's first few years, non stop post about how great it was. The place is a sh*thole with really overpriced rooms, lousy food and below average talent. I went to the CR last year and I would say business is off by at least 50% if not more from their heyday from about 2003-2008. They are just trying to protect what little they have left.

[QUOTE=TweedleD;1622283][URL]www.colombiajake.com[/URL] not hard at all USA 727-498-1680.[/QUOTE]Halloween was a lot of fun had Mercury from Colorado and John from Canada here with me. After a day and night tour I set them up with girlfriends to go see the sites and both without a doubt told me it was the highlight of their experience in Medellin. The girls took them to different places but it was more about the interaction they had together that made the date so special! Its not east to do or experience on your own but I take care of my guys so look me up and enjoy the total package!
