Nice report with some useful details.
Nice report with some useful details. I will be Medellin next month. Hope we can catch up and get your further advice if you will still be there. Thanks.
[QUOTE=TaiwanLaowai;2978993]I came here two weeks ago for dental work and fun, staying at Hotel Nutibara. So far, the Cento scene is better than I expected. I start in the mid-afternoon for coffee, food, and walking about. It feels safe enough that I sometimes don't go back until around 10 pm.
Generally, there seem to be around 50-60 girls milling about in the plaza and by the church, give or take, and some more working out of the bars on Carrera 53. As we all know, the average quality is below that of Parque Lleras but there are gems here and there, especially on busier days. Prices seem consistent at 50 mil for 30 minutes and 12 mil for one of the nearby rooms. Almost all the girls are from Venezuela. Are there any Paisas or Colombians still working in Medellin? Where does one find them?
So far, I have not been aware of any bad vibes or attitudes at my being a gringo. The main client base is older local guys, though I see small groups of foreigners here and there, including around the bench area mentioned in this thread. A fun place to people-watch outside the plaza is the open-air drinking joint on the corner of Calle 51 (the alley next to the church) and Carrera 53. Safety goes down once you exit Calle 51 and walk along Carrera 53 so I wouldn't do that after sundown. But overall, the scene seems like a safer and more relaxed version of Santa Fe in Bogota..[/QUOTE]
