Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=DonCarlos1234;2617493]Agreed. Sex tourists bragging, explaining about their exploits. Stupid and yet often accurate (crappy) videos are bad. I still do not comprehend the word "hobby" used here on the forum.[/QUOTE]Hobby sounds better than "I pay young women to fuck me."

I don't think most of the guys making videos are accomplished sex tourists. There was Cuba Dave years ago, but I think he learned his lesson in Costa Rica. The guys making videos now think they're going to start getting millions of views so they can live off of the revenue.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2617306]Medellin over the past six months has been over-run with foreigners because Asia has been shut down, and the outfall as you mention is there are groups of what I call "gringo hunters", the seasoned ones you mentioned charging higher prices and giving shitty service because they can get away with it with the foreigners, but the locals won't tolerate it, albeit there are still plenty of good servicing chicas available to be found in Centro.

The good news though, and hopefully is a success, is that Thailand is opening up next month, and if successful, and not a bust like Phuket, will be welcome news. And hopefully the Phillipines will open up next year sometime as well.

Very wishful thinking perhaps on my part as COVID has been so unpredictable, but if and when Asia opens back up, hopefully this will result in less foreigners coming to Medellin, and a subsequent adjustment of attitudes and pricing that has occurred within the last six months in Medellin.

Prime time in Medellin was earlier this year before the onslaught of newbie mongers paying too much and polluting lots of the Chicas working Centro.[/QUOTE]Good logic behind your theory, definitely makes a lot of sense. Is it easy to pull "normal" girls from places like malls, shopping centers, gyms, bars / clubs that may be semi pros or someone you can just throw a few bucks after a good night out together?

Bangkok and other Thai cities considered in the red zone may be opening for tourism on November 1, however, entertainment venues have still not been given permission to open. They are lowering the curfew hours, allowing restaurants to serve alcohol, reducing or eliminating the quarantine provisions for those fully vaccinated etc. I think it's possible they may start allowing bars and clubs to open on December 1 in time for high season as they Covid numbers are decreasing in Bangkok though areas of the north are still having problems, such as Chiang Mai.

[QUOTE=DonCarlos1234;2617495]This should slow down the sex tourists from visits to Medellin. LOL (I hope).

You still have to take one covid test on arrival and are not allowed to leave your hotel until you are negative. It should only take a day, but If you end up positive you are locked down into a mandatory 2 week hospital stay even with no symptoms.

This is what keeps me and others away.

It is an improvement though from the 3 covid tests in a two week quarantine. However, I won't risk a two week hospital quarantine for testing positive.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2617029]It may be possible that there was some backlash from the business establishments around the park regarding the prostitutes. Parque Lleras is the established "tourist" venue or Zona Rosa for Medellin as called out on the street signs leading up to it on Calle 10.

The prostitutes of LLeras are an attraction of the park for foreign visitors that want to see what some Colombian prostitutes look like. LOL if they only knew, and if they weren't allowed, it would lose some of its it's allure, hence my theory that there may of been some backlash from the establishments around the park, not that they should be banned, but allowed.

I can remember while attending classes at EAFIT that Parque LLeras always came up with discussions of the prostitutes working there. Yet they never mentioned any of the other monger destinations such as Centro.

Maybe I'm all wet on this.[/QUOTE]Zona Rosa is for dining, entertainment, nightlife. For the city. Tourism has developed that is focused there, but it is not primarily that. Try walking around Friday or Saturday night. Pre-pandemic anyway. Probably 50 thousand locals over the course of the evening, and the obvious tourists cannot be even noticed. Nor can the prostitutes, unless that is what you are looking for. There have been times in the past few years when there were virtually no prostitutes on the streets there. They were chased out as due to some desire to clean up the area from local / city politics. There are some very strong moves in Medellin to crack down on sex tourism, and many hotels in the area are signed up in a campaign to rid the country basically of sex tourism. So if anything it is viewed as unsavory, and may be tolerated, but at any time there may be a campaign to chase them out of the area. In any case I don't think prostitution is viewed as a desirable thing by local businesses, any more than street beggars are viewed as good for the area.

[QUOTE=Maelstrom;2617470]Does anyone here know the current guest policy for Hotel Haven?[/QUOTE]I was recently there for 3 weeks. No issue or fee for having a chica visit. I did not, however, ever have more than one at a time. So if you are planning on multiples at the same time, there could be a cost I'm unaware of.

Dictionary definition of hobby: "an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure. ".

[QUOTE=ColomboAnthony;2617360]What casas do you think are the best? I read on these board la isla and fase dos?

I am coming for my first trip soon.[/QUOTE]Haha my friend you don't see the irony in asking this on a completely public forum that every tom dick and harry can read after my post about gringo/weekend warrior containment?

Not to be a dick, well yea I guess kinda, dm me if you want the best casas and which girls to pick. I've been thru almost all of them at each place.

For casas, in general theyre all good besides yakuza and natalia. But there are good fucks to be had there too. Use the map to see them. Theyre all in like a 10 block radius.

[QUOTE=IamLookin;2617038].... I would welcome the cleanup of the park of the prostitutes roaming the streets looking for Johns. It only brings drug dealers and thiefs to the area......[/QUOTE]Drug dealers and thieves go anywhere people are gathered together, namely regular clubs, casinos etc. Not just among prostitutes. I would not want to deprive women of the right to earn a living. Why not exhort the police to apprehend the drug dealers and thieves?

When people here are dissing gringos, are you referencing non-seasoned mongers who are visiting Medellin? Or western tourists in general, however seasoned?

Can you point me to the map you're talking about?

Sorry again for my noob questions!

[QUOTE=ColomboAnthony;2617621]...Can you point me to the map you're talking about?...[/QUOTE]Easy, just do a search and you will find the link to the map. It has been discussed so many times in this forum.

Also, regarding the casas, no need to ask for the best. They change all the time, and it's best to check them out on your own. Among the most popular among gringos, New Life and Zandalay. I personally always had a good time at New Life, a big line up makes it easier to find what you like.

What keywords are you searching?

Basically when she leaves she goes to the front desk to pick up her ID and the front desk calls your room to make sure you're ok and not incapacitated or drugged or robbed. Is this a practice in Colombia or not?
