Medellin Reports

Yes, it is true. I visited Medellin for 9 days and was not drugged or robbed or kidnapped. My wallet and phone is still with me here at home. Now, I will say that I stayed in a hotel with security and did not walk around late at night drunk.

Attractive girls visited my hotel room, had sex with me and did not drug me but they did take away precious fluids from my body when they left. No one turned out to be a ladyboy. I enjoyed my sessions with all the girls but this was my sixth trip in the past year and a half so I have been learning from my mistakes.

I withdrew money from the ATMs and had no problems. The food was generally acceptable and I did not have food poisoning.

All in all, it was a good trip. No real complaints.

[QUOTE=Plan77;2901482]To pay the fee 3 to 4 times in a year is a bit too much. Has anyone found a better solution like having a multi year visitor visa?[/QUOTE]Get an European passport. It's easy for Canadians. Look into your ancestry. That's how I got my Italian passport.

In recent years, this has come to define a "good trip" for me too. In the day, I used to go out to bars, particularly Lleras. No more. I stay in the apartment, enjoy my chicas and the jacuzzi, watch Netflix, read. Occasionally I uber out to eat or to the mall, otherwise Rappi. I see 2-3 girls a day, so that keeps me pretty busy enough. Knock on wood, I've never been robbed or drugged or had my stuff stolen. I have always been careful in MDE, but now much more so, unless perhaps I am out with a local girl I trust.

If you want to a hang out in the street all night, go to the wrong barrio alone or with other gringos, flash your jewelry and money, be loud and obnoxious, pick up girls on the street at night, get drunk or high in public. More power to you, but good luck. Try not to get killed.

[QUOTE=LivingFossil;2901687]Is there a consensus on which bank or ATM is the best way to get COP out?

I get all fees reimbursed but the exchange rate on some ATMs suck bad, its better maybe even to take USD and exchange it?

ATMs in Poblado have horrible rates, are there decent ones in the airport? I've seen tons of variation.[/QUOTE]I was just in Poblado last week and got 3900+ before refunded fees from Schwab at Davienda. They let you draw 2 million too. Cash exchange places only giving 3660.

For example, remitly charges $3. 99 anything under $500. Anything over $500 to Colombia is $0. As of 6:21 pm EST, March 16,2024 the rate is 3,883 to $1 USD if using remitly.

Eros / Castellana in Laureles, is this place closed? I went there today and the portero stopped me, when I told him where I was going, he said no esta aqui? Have they moved to a new place?

[QUOTE=JohnJones22;2900110]Now that the clubs in cartagena closed down, where are all the 9's and 10's going? They are not in la isla. They can't ALL have gone abroad. Did they go to Bogota? Someone lead me on the path to 10's please, money is not an issue.[/QUOTE]Few go to dudes like me that give them a weekly allowance for in my 4 girl rotation of GFE baddies. I know a few 9's 1 or 2 10's I've haven't gotten to, that do get flown to European countries by old rich men and a few that make 2-3 trips to Dubai a year. But to answer your question they definitely aren't going to your Spirit Air weekend warrior broke lleras mongers. Theyre using instagram and dating apps to net their sugar daddies because it def pays more in the long run.

In general, I enjoy the atmosphere of strip clubs. What are some recommendations on places that are enjoyable and have good looking ladies with some good prices.

Thanks both of you for sharing the details of alternative visas. I was hoping to find a simple multi year multi entry tourist visa but obviously it does not exist.

I had some idea about the three other visas mentioned by Gabaho but can't stay in Colombia for 6 months. My Amigas in other countries will miss me. I mean my $$.

Sucks to be a Canadian.

[QUOTE=Zeos1;2901642]Nope, there is no such visa. Your only solution is to go there less, or go fewer times but stay longer.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Gabacho;2901704]This is not true Zeos.

There are several different visas he could get that would grant him access to Colombia for up to 3 years at a time without having to pay the entry fee. Such as the digital nomad visa, the student visa if he enrolls in Spanish classes at an accredited school in Colombia, the pensioners visa if he receives social security or any Canadian equivalent of which is $1000 usd per month or more, etc.

Granted they are not called a "visitor's visa" and maybe that's why you said that one doesn't exist but any of these 3 visas I mentioned can essentially function as a visitors visa because they allow multiple entries per year and they allow you to be outside of Colombia up to 6 months per year, so if he was a frequent traveler going back and forth each month for example, it may save him some money to get o digital nomad visa, for example instead of paying the entry fee every single month that he comes down.[/QUOTE]

Sucks to be a Canadian.[/QUOTE]It would be interesting to know if they do or do not charge the reciprocity fee to Canadians who have some sort of residency visa such as those you describe. One would still be entering on a Canadian passport, however as a legal resident. So I don't know. When you are in line to enter the country you are sent to the other line if you have a Canadian passport. An interesting question.

[QUOTE=Stl24;2901791]In general, I enjoy the atmosphere of strip clubs. What are some recommendations on places that are enjoyable and have good looking ladies with some good prices.[/QUOTE]Strip clubs in Colombia are an entirely different animal then those of the states.

It's basically a bordello that has a stage show. But check out.

La Isle which is like upscale, big, lots of room, lots of girls, stage shows, lights, rooms etc.

Other one is fase dos, a bit down tier but just as good.

[QUOTE=Maelstrom;2901782]I've barebacked many Paisas clean bill of health I get std tests every 4 mos just to show girls I'm clean so I can bareback more.[/QUOTE]It's probably more of a risk if you are barebacking Venezolanas. For the most part Paisas are clean.

I think the reciprocity fee is specifically for tourists entering on a 90 day tourist stamp with a Canadian passport.
