Does anyone know the name of the hotel about a block up the hill from the Viscaya Mall? There is a grocery store across the street. It has been a few years since I stayed there and I would like to return. They have small efficiencies with kitchen and views of the mountains. Thanks. Otherwise, can someone PM me on the phone and address for the Medellin Mansion? Thanks.
[QUOTE=Jaxon;1198667]Five or six years ago it was 40K. You can find better deals in other Colombian cities where club girls go for 50K for one hour.[/QUOTE][QUOTE=TweedleD;1198777]But 10, 000 pesos is about $5. 55 US Is the US ecomomy really that bad or is Colombia Really drawing the this type of tourist?[/QUOTE]Over the last several years, P4P prices have outpaced inflation by several multiples. There are several contributing factors. Substantially more sex tourists going to Medellin. More sex tourists ignorant of local market prices, thereby overpaying. More sex tourists paying tips. More sex tourists paying increasingly bigger tips.
[QUOTE=Jaxon;1198639]P4P prices have gone up 50-100% from 4 or 5 years ago. Five years ago, Centro street girls were 10-15K, and Mayorista girls 15K. Loutron was less than 100K six years ago and now it's around 200K. Prices will continue to push up.[/QUOTE]The dollar was as strongest 2001 and had it's lowest value just before the crisis 2008. Today it stands at 1848 COP, but has been well over 2500, which is a fall in value by 26.
This explains at least 50% of the inflation, maybe even more. Some products and services have risen rapidly, while others stands still.
Medellin have had steady economical growth since the 1970th, which is unique in Latinamerica. Luxury services and products meet a constantly higher demand.
Today you need to to a little more research to get a good $/sex-ratio, that's all.
Those prices you mention seem almost unreal. With a minimum wage at 450k COP (+ social benefits) I can't see why anyone would sell themselves for 5k COP.

What social benefits are you talking about. The Colombians I talk to don't have any social benefits or government assistance whatsoever. Its everyman for himself.

Agree that the P4P price change is not related to the inflation in other goods and services. Probably, the P4P price change is more influenced by 'price elasticity' of the sex-service market. If a price increase by a specific percentage (ie. 20%) results in a decline of sales by a smaller percentage (ie. 10% decline in customers) , it is non price-elastic and the price increase in question will increase overall revenue in spite of the decline in the number of customers. I think the P4P price jumped in the last decade because the market was inelastic- in other words, insufficient people quit or reduced buying the service in spite of the price increases, and thereby rewarded the price increases in effect.
2. Foreigners account for only a small portion of overall customers in sex industry. So, the P4P price increase is more likely to be because of domestic (Colombian) customers, who did not sufficiently reduce or quit buying the services. This may be because of the increase of upper-class and middle-class Colombians.

When you visit these casas you don't see them full with foreigners. They are perhpaps 80% filled with locals. Maybe the other % is foreigners or colombians from other cities.

[QUOTE=Runner Up; 1199207]I'm thinking about coming down again. Probably my 12th trip to Colombia. Anyone living there that can tell me what to expect as far as the weather goes for the next couple of weeks? I plan to come just after the 1st of October. Also can you guys talk about hotels, things to do, women and any other subject besides what a woman charges you for sex? I'll tell you what I pay when I travel. $0. 000 and I am not poor by any means but I do speak spanish and attract beautiful and wealthy women right here in my neighborhood.
Thanks![/QUOTE]First off there is a forum about hotels if you need info about them.
This site is mostly about P4P, Most of us guys have to pay for sexo. Congrats on your success with non Pro's.
One other thing. If I could attract beautiful and wealthy women right here in my neighborhood, I then would stay in my own neighborhood. All my foreign travel is getting to be a pain in the ass.
Only good energy.

I can't see why anyone would sell themselves for 5k COP.[/QUOTE]Not true. Dollar was strongest in 2003 when it was at almost 3000 COP.
How did you compute ¨fall in value by 26¨ and ¨sell themselves for 5k¨?
Regardless, the discussion is on the local economy and real inflation rate of prices in COP, not dollars.

If I was attracting beautiful wealthy American women, I would not have feel the need to look for poor South American women, Some Men are a little delusional. I think when I go on a Medellin run I'm the king of the world, when it comes to the women, If you are one of the fortunate Men who attracts the USA ladies good luck with the alimony payments, and I'm sure your ex thanks you for the house and half your income.

Reduction in supply drives prices up. Today there are half the number of street girls available and considerable fewer attractive girls at the clubs and casas than in 2007, for example.
