[QUOTE=Dcrist0527;2420010]But if I'm flying down Friday morning and flying home Monday afternoon, is that enough time for a first time MDE visitor?[/QUOTE]I have never been in Medellin more than 3 days at a time. I got here on the 2nd and I am leaving on the 5th. But I do not only come here. I go all over Colombia.
[QUOTE=Dcrist0527;2420010]I've read, repeatedly, Medellin is best served for a week or more. I'm a "vet" of Tijuana. Tijuana takes about 12 hours (all told) to get to from my current locale. So MDE will actually be closer. I'm not concerned about travel time. But if I'm flying down Friday morning and flying home Monday afternoon, is that enough time for a first time MDE visitor? Generally, I'm more of a bar guy. So three days of casas and three nights of bars. Will that give me a good enough intro to MDE? I'd much prefer a lengthier stay and likely will do so over the summer. But I'm thinking of a short trip in the upcoming months.[/QUOTE]I am a "vet" of Tijuana as well, but no more as it is a fucking dump and here I am. And to answer your question, three days will be perfect for a first time visit if that's all the time you have. What you need to imagine is that you will have at a minimum of 10 times as many bars to visit, let alone all the casa's all over town. And if you can imagine the street scene on Cahuilla behind Adelitas and Hong Kong, think in terms of about 25 times that size in El Centro. So your problem (and it's not a bad one) is going to be deciding where the hell to go with such a short amount of time as there are so many venues. Study this thread and you should get a good idea of which places might appeal to you.
Oh, and I need to warn you that you won't need to worry about anyone knocking on the door after twenty minutes into a session, or girls quoting prices that only include taking off their pants to get banged.

3 days is not much time to learn much about or get comfortable with any particular scene be it the casas, Centro street scene, FB girls, etc. But it is plenty of time to have some fun and gain some memories. Half your budget will be spent on your airfare. If you are fine with that then my recommendation is "Come On Down!
Yes and no, depends what do you expect. If you are thinking of going to a single "club" like HK or adelitas then your options are limited in MDE since this is not how is done here. While there is places like this strip clubs and casas. You will be limited to a hand full of girls that may appeal to you. Now if your idea is some good old fashion sport fucking you can go to el centro, in my opinion I have never found a girl there that appeals to me and trust me I am not looking for 9's or 10's. Best I have seen there is a 7. Most of the best low mile action in MDE get done on line via FB usually. I would recommend to stay at the mansion to get your networking action in place and get a feel of the land. While I am not the biggest fan of the mansion it definitely helps for new people to see how things work. There is not really a big "bar" scene in MDE where there is girls for take out. There is some here and there but there is no bars that are filled with decent working girls. Besides Gusto which I DO NOT recommend unless you want to over pay and be disappointed with service.

And there are plenty of decent girls to be found. And not to mention the numerous Clubs around town which are similar to a HK or Adelitas on a smaller scale which have been identified and mentioned in this thread. I don't think staying at the Mansion, the one in Poblado, is the way for this Tijuana vet to go. With three days, I would recommend he stays in El Centro. More action including the Casa's within walking distance versus having to travel back and forth from El Poblado.
I left San Peter in Laureles at 11:05 and took Didi to the San Diego office of Ombuses. 5000 pesos. Bus left at 11:32 and went over to the stop in front of San Diego Mall. It is right across the street from where they drop you off coming from the airport. We waited there a while and left for the airport at 11:43. Arrived at the airport at 12:09 and paid the 10,500 when I got off the bus.
So total from San Peter to airport using taxi and bus combo 15,500 pesos and 1 hour 4 minutes. The lady at the front desk at the hotel offered me an 80,000 peso taxi to the airport. For what?
I'm arriving tomorrow and had set up accommodations at Energy Living (through the company Nomad Guru) because 1) the place is chica friendly 2) I could use my chase points and 3) it seemed like a good place to ease in to Medellin since I've never been. Anyway, I just got a message from the host saying that the apartment was extensively damaged by the last tenant and I can't use it (literally this morning). They offered me accommodations in two of their other properties 1) a mansion in Las Palmas and 2) an apartment in Provenza [URL]https://es-l.airbnb.com/rooms/41801471[/URL] and [URL]https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/41732051.[/URL] The house especially is a lot fancier than Energy living but they both have no sex tourism in their airbnb rules. They also offered me my money back. So, does anyone have any experience with either place and know if they enforce their rules? Alternatively does anyone have any last minute hotel or building recommendations that might still have rooms free at this point? Thanks.
A while back someone recommended a cafe for lunch round the corner from new life, I went there today, 10 k for a very good meal. I also recommend.
Tried Loutron, the set up is cool but quality doesn't match, 15 girls but most older, very disappointing, this is midweek early afternoon. Better quality in the massage place I tried in Laureles first day at half the price. There is a 20 k viewing fee, prices there are 290 k 30 minutes for 320 k 1 hour, this is massage, CBJ and sex one time.
More girls here in Colombia expect CBJ or 1 shot than anywhere I've been and plenty don't budge so most people must be paying for that. It takes some work but on tinder, Facebook or seeking can find a few hours of unrestricted sex so DFK, BBBJ and multiple pops, 200-300 k, 300 k being the norm for the better looking ones from my experience so far.

I thought that it was Parque Lleras where they got the warning. Either way this is another place I have been wanting to check out but just haven't made it there yet.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Nounce;2420089]Parque Lleras was mentioned subsequently. It was the post that started the discussion. I am familiar with the area but maybe I remember wrong.[/QUOTE]Another poster put this straight a while back but here we are again so I am going to post a source to verify. There was a period of time when it was illegal to drink in the parks in Medellin, a law that was probably passed within the past two years by the new president, but the law was subsequently ruled unconstitutional by the court last summer. Anyone who likes visiting Colombia will like the slightly doctored photo at the beginning of the story.

Nothing really to report that hasn't been reported. Was in Medellin recently and got my favorite booty pics from girl in Amiga Sexy for 50 k and Club Maracaibo for 70 k 30 minutes each.

Check your PM, I sent you a message with some recommendations. One apartment available I know is chica friendly and near Energy Living but not in Energy living. If you take that apartment, send me a message and I can give you a lay of the land and the neighborhood.

I know the Corona Virus has been affecting mongering in both Thailand and the Philippines, and suspect as a result of this, we will see an increase in Mongers here in Medellin within the next few months. I had a four week trip planned for the middle of the month to Asia visiting four countries including the Philippines and Thailand and just pulled the plug on it. I had flights thru six different countries and would not want to be quarantined because somebody coming off a flight had a temperature or other symptoms.
[QUOTE=Nounce;2420472]Could be a scam if they ask the exchange outside of airbnb.[/QUOTE]I got Chase to call them and get my money back. Luckily after searching the forum I was able to find a couple of girl friendly places to stay. They are a lot cheaper but unfortunately no pool / gym / suite setup. The most important thing is that girls can come over without any issues.
