Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=SlapShot10;2701116]Checking in!

Apologies, as I got a bit bored posting, transferring / editing photos, and reading some of the redundant or political posts.

Still with Pinky, still having wild nights seeing how many Paisas can fit in a jacuzzi. We had a friend of Pinky's staying with us for awhile which was awesome. Spent 5 weeks in Rio. Decent time and Pinky hit it off with a smoking hot Ukrainian chick.

Rented a finca in Copa for a couple nights and took 12 girls over the course of the stay. I think 9-10 was the most at one time. Pool & hot tub, amazing views, 6 bedrooms, for $600+ USD per night. I'd definitely recommend it for a weekend warrior that has contacts and wants to try something different. Pushing the 19-seater Sprinter up the fucking hill wasn't the highlight, but made the rest of the trip more enjoyable. PM me for contact information for the finca's caretaker, to circumvent AirBnB and the management company.

You might catch me in La Isla once every few months. I'll be the guy that either looks like he's on cloud nine or super uncomfortable, with 2-3 girls that can't fucking help but try to steal the attention from the dancers.
.[/QUOTE]600 per night, would love to see the place, can you post some pic.

Nice to see another lockdown survivor still thriving. Now, would you please facilitate a Blakman proof of life. A post from him of one of his dates holding up today's newspaper will do.

Convos using a translation app are complicated.

[QUOTE=Balboa;2701003]Glad you enjoy the casas, however, way to sterile and programmed for me.

It's the hunt and the convo and the possibilities I enjoy from the street.

The diamonds that can be found.

Totally disagree with much better quality / circumstances of casa vs the street.

If you know that you're doing, especially if you speak the lingo and are good at sizing up, etc, the street can be a gold mine.

Obviously to each their own.

Enjoy![/QUOTE]

Ok fellas. I am pumped. I have alot of facebook girls lined up for this trip. 2 facebook girls per day LOL while I am there. Prices range from 150 k - 300 k all GFE I am pre negotiating and multiple leches. My question is I found a vennie girl. She does not have a colombian ID nor a Vennie Passport. Only a vennie ID. Do you know if San Peter will let her in with that?

[QUOTE=GianniVersace;2701096]What are the best p4 p casas near San Peter Apartment in Laureles besides Zandalay and New Life? Or are there any other must see p4 p casa's near by that are also must see.[/QUOTE]Fantasy Energy is close (Cra. 74 #101-49). Zandalay and New Life are downtown.

Hi all,

First time in Medellin and reading all the reports, it sounds like Gusto and La Isla are safe-ish bets as far quality goes. I like 'you get what you see' option, but I'm more of a fan of partying at home, so is there an option of taking a girl out of there for a few hours for an additional fee? Maybe there are other places where this is an option and offering similar quality?

Many thanks.

Many thanks.[/QUOTE]Simple. Go to Gustos see what you like, get their whatsapp numbers and hit them up next day early afternoon for a date. Yes you can pay a fee and take them out of la Isla or fase dos.

Synlab is all over the city. Search for it in google maps.

It was 90 k for rapid antigen test. They emailed the results within 2 hours.

[QUOTE=GianniVersace;2698075]Actually speakin of Covid Tests where are you all getting a covid test 24 hours before flight back to the USA? Does anyone know of a place in Laureles?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=FurJacket;2701128]I am traveling in September and I can't wait to go. Looking forward to all the beautiful women. My only fear is communicating with the local people because I don't speak Spanish.[/QUOTE]It's just a suggestion, but you could devote 30-45 minutes a day to learning a bit of Spanish between now and September.

If I'm not mistaken, if she has her Venezuelan cedula, or a passport she can get in to San Peter.

La Isla and other strip clubs have chicas with shifts, etc. So they work for the club, and need to pay if they leave with a customer.

Quality differences are questionable. The girls working as employees (in some sense) may on average be more attractive, but with all the other options you can pick what you like in terms of looks, so I'm not sure that quality is better in any sense. For sure it will cost a lot more in those 2 places, and that may make you feel better.

[QUOTE=Plan77;2700764]I wish I knew it earlier but Joe was my guardian angel on day 1 when I really found myself in a pickle. I arrived at san peters at 11 am and of course room was not ready despite having been told that it might be available. The lady at reception didn't speak a word of English.

There was no WIFI.

It was my first hour in Colombia.

I had only 10 K pesos left.

I was really pissed off and getting angry just when I heard Joe speak English to another guy staying at SP. The bar opens at 3 PM but I managed to talk to Joe just as he entered the bar door. He was very kind and happy to help come into his bar, let me use bar wifi and introduced me to a vennie who spoke excellent English. Within a minute I was fully back in business, he told me where to get the pesos from, how to get the sim and answered my other questions.

A great conversationalist.

One thing guys need to mention more often at this forum is that San Peter now had a very busy, American run bar right next to reception. SP is now as good as Hotel M.[/QUOTE]SP is not really a hotel, as units all have individual owners. So if you arrive early it is your particular room that would have to be ready, not just any room. The staff working there work on behalf of the owners and manage security, and services guests require. I found that the gal at the desk spoke some English, but that might vary depending on who is working. I also am not especially observant on that as I start in Spanish usually and when my Spanish is better than the other person's English I usually stick to Spanish. In Medellin this is almost always.

Good to hear the bar is back up and running. Has had a few iterations of owners / managers.

Wifi in the building is from individual unit owners, so I'm not surprised they don't have one they can give you before you check in.

I understand how frustrating it can be to arrive in a place, have no access to wifi or cell network, yet need that to contact an airbnb host or taxi or whatever. I now check before I leave whether my home cell carrier has any options for roaming in the country I am arriving in, and use that until I can get a local SIM.

The takeaway from your helpful post is make basic preparations to avoid situations where you are helpless. On this website there are piles and piles of information about how to hit the ground running in Medellin or any other location. The inner workings of the various gringo punter clubhouses shouldn't matter. Unless you are unlucky enough to be dealing with an inattentive or unscrupulous owner. It's not a military operation but it's also not a bad idea to have some contingency planning in place (E. G. Understand how to use ATMs and whether and how much your home bank allow it, as Zeos said, understand whether you will have phone service on arrival and what to do if you don't). This comes up constantly on this website so in the interest of helping guys I will mention that I don't know of any international airport where you can't buy a local SIM card. Pyongyang might be an exception. In Medellin, there is free WIFI throughout the airport. Everybody rolls differently but when I travel to places where I don't speak the language I make a point of preparing so I don't have rely on someone who does.

I never stayed at San Peter. But the presence of the bar seems interesting. Can I meet or pick up the chicas from there? Can anyone elaborate on that, please?

Great advice but it doesn't work for everyone. Guys who are here for a handful of days at a time need on the spot action. A week can evaporate quickly if you get caught up in a bad cycle of waiting around to get ghosted a couple of times.
