Medellin Reports

[OkSwimmer5517]

I've never been to Medellin and concerned about safety.

Do I need a tour for Medellin? Or solo travel is OK?

Has anyone booked a tour with naughty Medellin? How was the experience?

Okay maybe I should have stated "most" won't but just because the one hotel you stayed at accepted it doesn't mean much. I stay at higher end hotels and seeing as I actually had a contrasea I can tell you that NONE of them would accept it. I had to use my passport.

You're comparing apples to oranges. It's one thing to register at a hotel with contrasena being a gringo, another to be a visitor with contrasena being colomniana. It was written on your contrasena "de Extranjeria", wasn't it? Just stop by or call hotels that you mentioned and ask if they allow colombian visitors with contrasena and tell us the result. I rest my case. Peace.

That is actually not true based on my experience. Your statement is NO hotel will accept a cedula contrasea. Last time I stayed at an established hotel, they accepted a girl's contrasea twice during my stay. So the fact that they did means that your statement is false. Maybe it could be true that some hotels or most hotels will not accept it but I don't know.

You're probably right about banks, but most hotels (not 5 star) and doormen at edificios/Airbnb will accept contrasena or even a photo of the cedula on chica's phone. Confirmed by my experience and the experience of my friends. It's your responsibility to make sure she is over 18 to avoid huge problems.

None of the higher end hotels that I stay at would accept my contraseña,I had to use my passport. Doormen at Airbnb's,those clowns would accept a gum wrapper if you slip them a 50,LOL.

Has anyone been to any of the adult cinemas in Medellin? I want to check them out on the next trip out of curiosity but if it's just dudes whacking to porn there clearly is no need LOL.

That's insane!

Fake or real, no hotel or any other business will accept a cedula contrasea so if that is all a chica has for an ID it should be a dead deal right then and there. When I was approved for my cedula it was during the time when they were having problems producing the cedulas and they passed a law stating that the contrasea was a legal document and had to be accepted by businesses and they gave you a document along with the contrasea stating this and they told me to show it to any business that refused to accept the contrasea,it was useless, toilet paper. I showed it to the folks at Claro, Bancolombia, etc. And they just refused it. I couldn't get a Nequi account opened either because they require a photo of both front and back of your cedula and the contrasea only shows the front. Major hassles for me, it took these clowns eleven months to get me my cedula.

More often than not, random interactions I have with gringos here leave me feeling uneasy. An extreme example of what I try to stay away from are the foreigners who hang around together at Plaza Botero. I mean wtf, seriously? LOL!

Agreed. For some reason other gringos love hanging out with me and want to spend more time with me than chicas it is so gay haha. Just ruins my trip.

[Knowledge]

It is not a binary choice. I enjoy an active social life and I see as few or as many women as a like at any given time. I don't socialize with gringos on any regular basis but I understand how it can be important to hang around other gringos. It's just nor for me. I have a small circle of gringo friends. You might see it differently if you were a resident rather than a visitor.

Second post in a row, which I completely disagree with. Some of the best friends I have made in Colombia have been other gringos, and I've actually built a small network of them that are great people. It's actually part of the reason I would eventually hope to retire in Colombia because of the network of great friends that I've made. Whether having a beer in the early afternoon with some new friends or getting a couple guys together and hitting some restaurant and clubs with some girls, life is meant to be social. I mean, if you're new to this, sure, go down, spend the first days just having as many girls as you can and getting over it and making up for a life of lack. But once you're over that, then you feel like being social, then making some friends where you can be open of what you do and enjoy is actually quite nice.

Clarification for those who don't know:

In Colombia, a contrasena is a temporary document that serves as proof of identification while a citizen is waiting for their official national identity card (Cedula de Ciudadana) to be processed or renewed.

So if chica never had cedula (just turned 18) or lost her cedula she receives contrasena first and cedula later. Old style yellow cedulas were issued before end of 2020 with DOB on the back and the new ones have it on front side. So if chica less than 25 years old and has old style cedula it's fake for sure.

Contrasena is easier to fake, so OP was right advising to avoid them. But even if chica has fisical cedula you aren't guaranteed that it's real -there are a lot of fake cedulas in Medellin. It's cheaper and faster to get fake cedula than the real one. Over the years my front desk stopped more than 10 chicas with fake cedulas (verifying against police database).

Fake or real, no hotel or any other business will accept a cedula contraseña so if that is all a chica has for an ID it should be a dead deal right then and there. When I was approved for my cedula it was during the time when they were having problems producing the cedulas and they passed a law stating that the contraseña was a legal document and had to be accepted by businesses and they gave you a document along with the contraseña stating this and they told me to show it to any business that refused to accept the contraseña,it was useless, toilet paper.

If you interperse your narrative with Spanish words, it will help others to understand if the words are used correctly and spelled correctly. Contrasea translated is password. I have no ides what a nervous password is. I suppose you mean cedula when you write seedula. Cedula is a Colombian ID card.

I would say don't worry about what others are spending. Just make more money. I would also say let the girls make more money from any other sources. There are guys who want to make the girls suffer financially in a number of countries so that the price of pussy can go down. It is a bit selfish that you would want others to suffer so you can save a few dollars.

I do make more money and pay more than I ever have for sex. I admit I am selfish, I think those that don't admit it are deluding themselves. Its just human nature.

This is completely not true. The girls know that the going rate is 300 K. But that doesn't change the fact that if there's no better deal floating around, they'll compromise maybve take 200 K. And if they can get 500 K or more out of him, then fantastic. But it doesn't mean that it changes the fact that they know the average cost is 300 K. In the same evening, I've seen the same top-looks girl take 700 k off one guy and then agree to 200 k off the second guy as the night was gertting late. Same girl I then saw a couple days later for 300 K without even asking or negotiating, I just asked her out and gave her 300 K and she didn't bat an eye. Doesn't mean that some girls are pickier and stand their ground for 400 K, but I've never had a girl stand their ground for anything above that.

I agree with your assessment. What a girl will eventually accept depends on the particular circumstances and how busy she is. If there is plenty of business at the higher rate, she won't take less. If business is slow, she will likely take it but she may not take it next time when business picks up. Of course, when we talk about girls, not all girls are the same, and they know where their worth based on age and attractiveness.

I guess the point is that gringos don't represent the culture of the country you're in. If you really wanted to hang out with gringos, there's plenty of time to do that when you go back home. I'll hang out with a gringo every once in a while, and its a nice change once in a while, but I spend 90% of the year travelling. If you really want to get to know the country that you might live in, the advice is still good. Avoid the gringos, go find some local friends. Or you're never going to learn the spanish that will open up so many more opportunities for you.
