Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Kafka;2477782]The USA has dropped it's 14 day quarantine requirement for all international travelers. This should get things rolling fairly quickly[/QUOTE]That is for US citizens returning to USA. The drop is not bidirectional: still most of other countries ban people from USA to enter their borders, or at least require 14-day quarantine.

It is interesting to note that Italy (I imagine the same holds for other EC countries) now fully bans people from Colombia, Brazil, and other hot countries, but allow people from USA with 14-day quarantine. See, size matters.

[QUOTE=Lugnut;2477661]There's amateur action in every city in Colombia. Straight-up P4 P? I don't know, but I had awesome dates with semi-pros or amateurs in Barranquilla. A couple in Santa Marta. And surprisingly, I met some thirsty cuties in Riohacha. Armenia (Quindio) seems to be a dirty little honeypot.

For those that are here to do nothing else than fuck, then MED, BOG, CTG are the places. But if you have a hobby or other reasons to travel around, much fun can be had with the chicas.[/QUOTE]Haha "Dirty little Honeypot" I LOVE it. Funny, I've been to Colombia a few times and have had the pleasure of sleeping with about 30-40 girls (I know rookie numbers) but the most gorgeous, unforgettable, beautiful girl I've been with was from Quindio. I'm talking "wanting to stop the hobby and wife this girl up" beautiful. Then I snapped out if it. So FWIW Quindio might be worth exploring.

[QUOTE=TitusPullo88;2477747]Thanks for the info The Tall Man. I've got a question about sauan / spas in Colombia. Are there any similar spa / saunas in Colombia that are similar to the FKK clubs in Germany / Austria? I'm aware of the "casas" but is there anything like in Colombia where you can walk around in a robe, go swimming, enjoy a nice sauna / steam room, get a drink etc? I've heard of "termas" in Brazil but wasn't sure if Colombia had any.

Thanks.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=JjBee62;2477778]That would be a solid no.[/QUOTE]As the other monger so aptly states unfortunately nothing like that here in all of Colombia. Do yourself a favor and when the China virus is over you need to experience it in Brazil as it is something that will stick in your mind for your life.

It has been 19 years since my last of two 3 week stays in Rio and although HELP is long gone the termas have left an indelible imprint on my mind forever.

Much love and respect to all!

The Tall Man.

They've been running service out of apartments the past couple of months. I've been to the Los Colores sede couple of times and enjoyed it. Mostly girls that are quite attractive and eager. And I had one over to my apartment during her days off. Magnificent tetas.

WhatsApp blasts and correspondence indicates the Club location on la 33 is operating again. They're telling me to call ahead so they can be waiting and watching for arrival by a camera. Full liquor service. I have missed the downtown bars a lot, to say the least. I intend to try to check this out later in the week.

American and Spirit pushed their schedules back to resume September 10. American is flying 5 days per week direct from Miami. I assume there will be connections via Bogota the other two days, or American may rely on its new alliance with Jet Blue. Barring something yet more extraordinary than what's already been happening, everything should be close to restored before Christmas. There will of course be businesses that won't survive the lockdowns. It appears Luna Lunera's reopening was a turning point. They were always plugged in with the police and military.

Nice talent in El Centro today. Lots of chicas in Botero. Sounds like more places are opening up in a week or 2 as well.

Why hasn't duque came out to make the announcement yet, we are 7 days out from the 9/1st opening date.

[QUOTE=Wolf662;2477705]Do you know if that small police substation in the SW corner of Parque Bolvar is open 24/7?[/QUOTE]I have not noticed it open but that is not the route I usually took. I usually took CR 49, CL 54 and CR 50 or variations of it. I have already been to the barber shop, restaurants on CR 50 during day time. I felt it's manageable after a while. I started to walk back to my place further north passing thru that area.

It looks like yesterday the President extended the Health Emergency until the end of November. The next few months should be interesting here.

Duque on Saturday tried to compare fatality rates with those of countries where the disease peaked weeks earlier, but was interrupted by Health Minister Fernando Ruiz who said such a comparison made no sense.

According to international data, Colombia had the highest number of deaths per million inhabitants over the past week, a little more than neighboring Peru, which registered a higher number of infections per million over the past week.

A week before the end of the president's national emergency, the virus reached a new record number of 400 daily deaths on Sunday amid what has been projected as the peak of the pandemic.

Not counting untested fatalities, 17,314 have died of the pandemic on Sunday and 541,147 people, more than 1% of the population, has been infected by the coronavirus.

Duque's attempts to restart the economy against the advice to first control the spread of the virus is showing serious cracks despite the government's barrage of false positives.

As more doctors and nurses fall ill, the country's healthcare system is close to collapsing under the weight of the pandemic as the president's promised funds to reinforce the system never arrived.

Knowing Colombia, that could be days or months, so again, I don't think this should be the deciding factor for any of your travel plans.

The State of Emergency is until the end of November, per Duque. Thus, if anyone is in the same position as me, you should be able to stay lawfully through the end of 2020, without needing to worry about an extension / Migracion.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2478259]Still think you are going to Colombia in Sept, huh?[/QUOTE]Well, yes, according to the mayor of Medellin ([URL]https://twitter.com/QuinteroCalle/status/1298305875250155520[/URL]). I'm keeping my hopes up. Duque can still block it, but there is a very good chance heaven will open its door in a week.
