Chris, this was an excellent report! Thanks for taking the time to write it, full of good, detailed info.
However, I would like to report on my own experience with Facebook that was different from yours. I just got home tonight after spending 10 days in Medellin, with my wingman socker. This was also my 2nd trip, having been there last March for 2 weeks. The last time I was there, I found it fairly difficult to connect with the popular chicas at the cueva. Think Wendy, Yamii, Angelina , Geraldine , Tatiana, etc. Every time one of them was at the cueva, she would be surrounded by several mongers, making it difficult to approach her, for a newbie like me. I found it much easier to schedule a session with them via Facebook, and I was fairly successful, despite the flaking I experienced with some of them. They are terrible at conducting business, always late, missing appointments without bothering to contact you. Despite all that, I had fun. I just made sure to have a plan B every time I made an appointment.
[QUOTE=Chris Long; 1468589]Airport:
The airport in Medellin is fairly well laid out no major hitches or extreme security checks, no visa tax or fee either coming or leaving.
Transportations:
I arranged for the Mansion to pick me up at the airport cost was around 70, 000 pesos, I looked into other options and drivers and all seemed to be charging around the same price. The drive from the airport to the Mansion was around twenty minutes give or take.
Once at the mansion I used taxis which were safe, fair and reliable, all drivers I had used their meter and cost was relatively inexpensive to get around town. The mansion will call a taxi for you and take the license plate number of the driver.
Medellin:
I stayed at the Mansion so the neighborhood and that part of the city was very nice clean upper scale and I felt perfectly safe.
The Mansion:
In my opinion the Mansion is the place to be in Medellin.

And I was very happy I stayed there. The place is clean safe quiet and comfortable, the staff was very attentive polite and ready to help. There is a great group of guys there, many of whom will be more than happy to show you around and teach you the ropes if it is your first time in Medellin.
I was a little apprehensive at first about staying at the Mansion, I've met mongers from Asia to the Caribbean, Central and South America who have stayed there and all had warned me about the owner Aussie Greg. I only met him once while I was there and he struck me as a polite quite hospitable guy. He seemed like a pretty nice guy to me.
The women usually start arriving around 2. M and would generally hang around the pool area or inside the front parlor until about 6. M when the bar at the Mansion La Cueva would open, then they would go down stairs to the La Cuava, many would hang around until midnight or 1:am. Some days seemed to have more girls than other days and some times seemed to have more girls than other times. Often there would be a dozen or so and at other times there may be just two or three. The girls to my knowledge do not work for the mansion but if need be they can call and invite some girls to come over and visit.
I personally thought the women at the mansion were super hot, In my opinion there was never at any time anything less than an 8 and most of the women I seen, were in my opinion in the 9 or 10 category, I was very, very, very, pleased with the quality of women I found at the Mansion and also the quality of service I received from the mansion girls.
The Mansion is located at the end of a dead end street on your right, it is a nice neighborhood, so don't worry about the dead end street. Leaving the Mansion and walking down to the corner and then turning right the next street you come to will be a major street and across the street you will find a nice shopping center McDonalds the Oviado (sp?) mall which has money exchanges in the mall that are easy to find and a super market, nice clean safe upper class area. You can also walk down to this area to pick up a taxi, as stated above I found the taxis to be safe inexpensive and reliable. A good land mark to use and one that I used when walking back to the mansion is look for the tall office building with dark aquarium green windows it is on the street you take to walk back up to the mansion.
I never found out why but it is not a good thing to talk about Mayorista (sp?) at the mansion. This was my first time in Medellin and I had read about Mayorista as well as the other monger location in Medellin and I was curious to check them out, but was told by some of the vets at the mansion not to mention that word around the staff at the Mansion.
I visited many of the monger locations in Medellin by taxi and found them to all be a relatively short cab ride from the mansion maybe ten to twenty minutes tops.
The Mansion chicas are friendly but not overly aggressive; it's not like Rumbas or D'Latin in Sosua or the Del Ray or Sportsman's in SJ. That is they do not overtly try to make eye contact with you and approach you. But all it will take is you going up to them and politely introducing yourself and asking if she would like to come back to your room. Within two minutes or less of introducing myself to a chica at the mansion I was on my way back to my room with her.
San Diego, Fase Dose:
Visited both of these strip clubs several times, there is a 10, 000 peso cover charge to enter. Both clubs were nice both had some HOT women in them and in my opinion the quality of women in both were about the same, however, Fase Dose charges more. These clubs were nice but pale in comparison to many of the gogo bars in Asia or even the Hong Kong Club in Tijuana. There are girls standing around or drinking with customers who are available to go to the back room with you, a girl will strip on stage but the show is nothing like you will find in Asia or even the HK in Tijuana, after she is done striping she will walk around to all of the customers for a tip and even ask if you want to go to the back room with here while another girl takes her turn on stage. The rooms at both places were not bad reminded me of the same type of rooms you will find in the thermas (sp?) in Rio. I received good service from the girls I took from there but always confirmed before taking them that BBBJ and DATY were on the menu at the agreed upon price. I also noticed some of the San Diego girls hanging out at the Mansion during the day time.
Mayorista:
Visited this street once, as stated above not a good thing to mention this place at the Mansion, it is basically two blocks or so long with girls standing on one side of the street or walking up and down the street. There are some bars and restaurants and short time hotels. I felt perfectly safe there and believe the area to be perfectly safe and was a short cab ride from the Mansion. There were some attractive women there, however, many were past the expiration date and should have retired some time ago. The short time hotels were clean safe modern and the short time price was inexpensive 20, 000 pesos for the half hour. Price for the chicas was relatively inexpensive; some must have seen me as a newbie and tried quoting me $100 USA and then came down to $50 USA but most were quoting me 30, 000 to 50, 000 pesos for the half hour. As stated there are some attractive doable women there but even at the bargain basement price I found it hard to justify going when there were nine's and tens prancing around the Mansion who didn't fuck you but made love to you.
Facebook:
I was told before going down there is no central place to pick up P4P chicas and had read some reports that said the Mansion no longer had girls coming over to hang out. All of this is not true, however, I made several Facebook dates before coming to Medellin all of which I regret. I found once I arrived at the mansion many of the Facebook dates I made were already Mansion chicas hanging around so there was really no need to set up Facebook dates with them. The ones that were not already Mansion chicas that came over were ok but did not live up to their pictures in Facebook in my opinion and with the exception of one if I had seen them at the Mansion I probably would not of chosen them. All of the Facebook dates wanted cab money as well as the fee and none of the Facebook dates would give BBBJ all gave CBJ, whereas every Mansion chica I had gave BBBJ. In retrospect I regret making the Facebook dates and on my future trips I will skip Facebook all together.
Chicas:
In my opinion the women of Medellin were hot, it seemed no matter where I was I could find women I considered to be nine's and ten's. As stated above I thought the women at the Mansion were an eight or above, I thought many of the women at San Diego and Fase Dose were hot and there were some attractive women to be had on Mayorista.
Prices:
At the Mansion the standard price is 150, 000 pesos for a couple hours or so, at San Diego strip club the girls seem to set their own price and I was quoted anywhere from 100, 000 pesos to 150, 000 pesos for the half hour. On Mayorista the general quote was anywhere from 30, 000 pesos to 50, 000 pesos for the half hour plus 20, 000 for the short time room.
Services:
Every Mansion girl gave me BBBJ DATY and DFK and all gave me great service. The San Diego girls also gave me great service. The Mayorista girl was a little more like a typical USA street walker in attitude or a Tijuana door girl in price, It required a tip for complete nudity and an additional tip for BBBJ.
Liquid Lounge:
Asked about it every night and tried going twice, The place was pretty slow every time I went practically no one there each time I went just a couple Mansion chicas hanging out. I don't wish ill on anyone but personally I would rather the place not be there. If successful the Mansion chicas will start hanging out there at night and not the La Cueva at the Mansion which means you will have to take a cab over there and then a cab back once you pick your chica, the way it is now the chicas are already at the Mansion all you have to do is go down stairs and pick the one you want and walk her back to your room.
Money:
Everything works in Columbian Pesos so you will have to exchange your money. The mansion does not exchange money but there are money exchanges at the Oviado mall just a block or so from the Mansion, an easy and safe walk. If you book the driver through the mansion you can ask him to stop and exchange money before he drops you off at the mansion.
Safety:
I felt very safe everywhere I went, the mansion and the local neighborhood is very safe, I felt safe at Mayorista, I felt safe at the strip clubs and I felt safe being transported by the Taxis. I believe for the most part provided you don't do anything stupid or are not into stupid things Mongering in Medellin is very safe.
Language:
Spanish is the official language, I don't speak Spanish but had no problem getting around and communicating. The P4P chicas all know what you are there for and it will not be hard to come to an arrangement with them. Some of the staff at the mansion speak English and many of the Mansion vets who will take you under their wing either speak Spanish or have been around enough that they will be able to assist in anything you will need.
Final Thoughts:
I was pleasantly surprised by the Mansion, Medellin and the Columbian women. I barely scratched the surface of mongering on this trip but have already booked the flight for my return visit. Three trips to Asia a trip to Rio and countless trips to POP have given me enough points for a free trip back to MDE. I was pleased with the Mansion the quality of women available there and the service provided by them. I also liked the other P4P options available in Medellin. I was disappointed in the whole Facebook hook up thing just as I was disappointed in the DIA thing when I went to Asia and will avoid this on my future trips.
