Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=DJHeywood;2912816]I agree with you, $500 K is a lot & I'm sure someone with more finesse could've got her down. At that point I felt I was "ahead" with my 275-300 K. Now that I have some contacts I won't be as desperate during a short trip. Common Colombiana rates in Playa de Carmen are 460 mil. Half the travel time and safer, with a beach but more boring.[/QUOTE]Playa de Carmen. Do you mean Playa del Carmen, and that is Mexico, right? And many many years ago it was $200 US there. 460 mil pesos is many thousands of dollars.

[QUOTE=DJHeywood;2912759]I can delete if not appropriate, just giving my 1st trip report which I thought were ok. No doubt regulars don't need this.[/QUOTE]I think he was giving you a compliment LOL. At least that's how I read it. Thanks for the report!

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2912668]You need a subscription to attach photos.

Your post wasn't deleted, it was moved to another thread, because people were starting to argue about it.

I am in no way involved in the process. I'm just answering your questions.[/QUOTE]You can attach photos as long as you're a senior member. I currently don't have a subscription but I am attaching a picture.

According to the commentary, the police intervened in order to fight "sexual exploitation". This meant rescuing (= arresting) women against their best interest.

Many regulars have been anxious about the visitor friendliness of hotels and airbnbs close to the action especially with the concomitant restrictions and frenzy about sex tourism posted in those areas. You have opened their eyes to a solution.

Which I agree, if overpaying the 1 girl I couldve took a shorter flight elsewhere. The visiting Colombianas in PDC will take $117 usd equivalent in 2000 Mexican pesos (in cop I meant 460,000 which was confusing). In Cancun 1 HR to North the same girls will charge 3500 Mx pesos $206 usd as a floor, even up to $350+ dude to the big American market there.

If I was to stay in Poblado and did not know this forum a small youtuber DannyBooBoo reviews a bunch Poblado hotels and their guest policy, but it seems Poblados on a week to week basis so only boots on the ground will know.

Not completely true on your added commentary. The police have a search and check right in Medellin. They asked the women for their identification and the police have a right to search individuals in the park. Nothing illegal about that in Medellin. The girls decided to attack the uniformed police officers. Including punching and biting. If people were to act like that in the states they would get the shit kicked out of them.

Parque Lleras needs to be "cleaned up" before it becomes another cesspool like El Centro.

[QUOTE=Turgid;2912995]You have opened their eyes to a solution.[/QUOTE]For those looking for this solution, you need to pay attention to where your dates are from as Uber could easily be 90 mil or more round trip if they are from the opposite side of the town. Or the girls would not come this far if she has other choice. Many of the Airbnb buildings in this area are large buildings with families and kids. It's better to ask your dates to not show up like a hooker.

Only time I looked around in PDC it was at a club close to the ferry terminal and it was $200 US minimum. But that might have been due to being in a high traffic tourist area, and my guess is that the rates you are talking about are not the high cost places. But all of that is more than some of what is available in Medellin, such as at the casas where prices are still less than $20 US for a half hour full service.

It was soo different 2 months ago on my last trip before the Mayor and locals voicing their concerns. . just ignore the skanks and A holes. Hope for the best and maybe just maybe those who run the businesses there will understand that their reputations are going downhill fast to the lowest denominator.

Hello.

Has anyone recently found decent Nuru Massage in Medellin? I had one from prior trips but looks like she's no longer in business.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I am a 40-year-old divorced man is planning a trip to Medellin. I wan to find a companion (some english) to explore the city with, help me improve his Spanish, share some enjoyable dinners. I avoid dining alone in upscale restaurants and bars, love to have a companies. Additionally, if there's mutual attraction physical relationship but its optional. How will I go about finding one, SA?

Medellíand has changed and will continue to change. For the moment Medellíand is Loserville. More fun can be had cheaper with prettier girls in many other places now.
