Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Hasideas Tao;1226025]Hey Newyorkino, This is all very intriguing to me. I'm not totally clear about your price quoting but regardless, I like the sound of this type of adventure / option. I would like to know more details about your experience. I think I speak for many when I ask specifically about your female guests. Who, how many, from where? Did they want anything in return for spending the weekend? How far did you have to travel to get to your finca? I know a girl on FB, with her guy and girl friends (must have been at least 20 kids there) rented a finca and consequently I saw the the photos of the fun party weekend they all had enjoying the house and pool. Seems like the local mindset is that renting a finca is a mini vacation treat. Personally, I would do it different, with more girls, less guys, more alcohol and less clothes but hey, that's just me. Just sounds like an awesome weekend, if you can get a small group of sexy open minded individuals who appreciate the change of atmosphere.[/QUOTE]Sorry I was'nt very clear on the price. It was 150k each day when I told them only 2 days, when I changed it to four days it was 120 k per day. The girls I brought were from Medellin they didn't charge me for anything. These are girls I have known for a couple of years. They were just happy to hang out for four days with free food and all the drinking they could handle. Like you said, it was like a free vacation for them. It took about an hour to get there it was in santa fe antiokia. I'm telling you colombian girls love that stuff, you mention a finka with a pool, all the food and drinks they can down. They will not turn it down.

Hi, I have just come back from Venezuela and even if girls are wonderful but fucking was a disaster. .

For my next trip I'm undecided between Medellin and Santo Domingo (DR).

I don't like putas but regular girls, I know Medellin fine but I'd like to know differences between Medellin and Santo Domingo.

I'd like to know differences about living price for 10-15 days, about girlfriend, fucking prices, easiness to get girls, beauty of girls, cheerfulness about sex, etc. Etc.

Thanks for your info.

Thanks for your info.[/QUOTE]There is a whole thread in the DR section, COL, CR, DR, you might get some answers there its been covered so often. If you haven't been to the DR it is a must at least just to try, plus I love the salt in the air from the ocean along with a fresh fried fish on the beach.

The DR is a must see for the true Mongerer. A little more expensive than most of Colombia except for CTG, but if you like free lance bars than Classico in Sosua is great. I would go more to Sosua if I could get a flight to POP, but that is a tough deal from where I live. Another plus for me is a BBBJ was almost always a given.

Hi, would it be possible for you to post contact info for the lady that rents the finca, thanks in advance.

[QUOTE=Newyorkino;1225706]I rented the finka for the elections, they had ley seca for a few days. When I found out about ley seca I started asking around for the finkas. You would be surprised how many people have access to them. One of my freinds from san diego show took me to a lady she showed me what was available. She showed me several finkas on her computer. She quoted me at 150k for two days. When I got there the rooms were not all that but the pool was awsome. I'm talking about something you see in a movie. It had a huge statue of jesus crist that can be seen from miles around sort of like a miniture version of the statue in Rio. Since the finka was on top of a mountain it could be seen from long distances. The girls that came with me loved that spot, so insted of two days I stood four, and the lady brought it down to 120k per day.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Xxnegrito;1226254]Hi, would it be possible for you to post contact info for the lady that rents the finca, thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]I don't have the conatact info for the lady but I do have my drivers cell phone number. He can most likely find out about the people who have somthing available. His name is fernando he's always by san diego show, he only speaks spanish, he does understand some english. 314 763 3283 next time I go to Medellin I will try to get some finka contacts to post, maybe in April.

I'll call him.

I appreciate the info ill post it here too if anyone else needs it.

Would you please post info at the hotel thread? Could you please also explain activities / packages he offers? Thanks.

Hey all, I'm planning a trip to Colombia in a few weeks and I have a few? S. I'm planning on Medellin and Cartagena but at this point I don't know for sure.

I'm going to try couchsurfing.org and some hostels, unless someone can point me to an inexpensive hotel or apartment. I'm not sure what my budget will be but I would like to keep it under $400 a week.

1-So any inexpensive hotels or apartments someone can recommend?

2-Do you know anyone who gives Spanish lessons? I've looked at schools online but they want around 300 or so a week which IMO is outrageous for South America. There have to be private lessons somewhere for much cheaper than that.

3- What is considered dressing well in Colombia? I'm not going there thinking that I'm going to pick up a lot of non-pros but I do want to look good when I go out at night. Here in NYC I wear jeans, black dress shoes and untucked dress shirts and it's fine. Sometimes I'll wear a sportcoat as well. Is a sportcoat too heavy for this time of year? Are jeans OK or should I bring dress slacks?

4- If I go to Medellin, is it worth it to get a driver for going out at nite? I've read that the metro is pretty well organized and fine during the day. If you know a reliable driver, let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I appreciate any help and if you look at my posts, you'll see that I always report on my experiences and contribute to this great forum

If so there are plenty of places for $50 a night and under just read through the posts here CB I think has rooms at that rate but would read and check.

During the day you have to take the Metro and in the night it is better to take a taxi.

You will meet many like-minded guys there and they bring nice looking girls over everyday to hang out at the pool and for your pleasure.

At most other hotels you would be lucky to come across someone who speaks english. If you are adventurous and willing to wing it with out speaking the language, there are many other great options.

Thank you FoxesHunter

My problem is that being fluent in Italian, I've been lazy at learning Spanish properly because I always get by speaking some combo of Italian + limited Spanish + English. But the time has come for me to learn it properly since it will helpadvance my career and make me more employable.

So please tell me about the other great options!
