Medellin Reports

[Manizales911]

Don't worry, you won't be the wolf.

To the wily veterans in the group, do any of you have experience with the previous downturns in Costa Rica, Sosua, etc.? Are you getting those vibes here in Medellin? It's not the same place it was even just a couple years ago, and certainly not 5, 10, 15 years ago

Name one mongering location in the entire world that is the same as 5-15 years ago. News flash, there isn't one.

[Turgid]

Will be heading back to Medellin in a couple days. I want to try out a Centro SW for the first time in my 20 odd years of visiting the city. Could any of you Centro veterans recommend the best short time hotel in the area? I don't want to just go with the girl's choice. I want a spacious clean room with clean bathroom and decent bed with clean sheets. Let me know if there is no such hotel in the vicinity, then I will just taxi to a decent one.

[AmorPorFavor]

Do you mostly eat in restaurants or uber eats?

I'd say 50/50 for dinner. If I'm with a girl I like but I don't want to take her out to dinner for various reasons, usually too young, but she wants to hang out and order rappi I will do that. A few of my girls are mature enough and dressed appropriately to take out or I will eat out solo. I also eat out all lunches.

It's not the same place it was even just a couple years ago, and certainly not 5, 10, 15 years ago. Maybe I'm jaded, or maybe the writing is on the wall. I see the immigration lines being posted almost daily. People are waiting 3-4 hours for entry; the majority being men coming down to throw around money without a care in the world. Due to social media, Paisa girls now all see the lucky ones that take off to Europe, Mexico, Brazil, Dubai, etc. They can sit at home and be on OF instead of out on the prowl. Many stick to their hotter friend's price she got one time from some idiot on his first trip. Parque Llleras is almost embarrassing, at this point.

I'm sure most have an opinion, but I am specifically hoping to hear from some of the fellas that have seen a once-great destination turn into the dumps.

Speaking of the immigration line, the government could make a boat load with an express line; even if you had to pre-register. I'm actually shocked that the shift supervisor doesn't just make one a couple times a day and pay off his crew to keep quiet.

Cheers!

Immigration lines are long but usually not that long. I usually wait about one hour. Yes, a lot of old timers whining and complaining about the way it has changed from 10-15 years ago but most of us have not been coming to Medellin so long. We only know the Medellin the way it has been recently. The reason the immigration lines are so long and so many men are coming is that Medellin is still good. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be so many people coming. As for whether most men spending money like crazy, I don't think you can really gauge that. What is your method of calculating how much most men are spending in Medellin? I just spend what I want to spend and I don't worry about what others are spending. No sense worrying about things out of your control.

Yes, I know that there are some who believe that other men are causing the price they pay to rise but Medellin is a big city and there are many available women.

OldKool you have been stomping around this yard for awhile. You should know how to move abroad even if it is an unfamiliar locale. It shouldn't be difficult to navigate but instead an adventure or maybe in your case, a challenge with some added anxiety. My first time to Colombia (that's Colombia with an "o") was a solo trip to Cartagena. As a matter of fact, I have never traveled to Colombia with anyone or met up with anyone. I don't care about that or where the Gringos are at. All solo trips and to date I have been to 17 different cities in Colombia over the years. It's a great thing to experience and my opinion it's way better than the DR, hands down. I've been there done that and there is no comparison to me.

I was on youtube researching Medellin. I saw a number of reports of guys being drugged and one guys who was kid napped. I travel alone and am a bit concerned about being a lone wolf in Coumbia. The guys were experienced mongers.

Been exploring Colombia for decades, yes you read that right for Decades and living 10 plus years in Medellin so over these years I have forgotten more than what most people including local Colombian know about Colombia including the chicas from every region / department in Colombia.

Having never been to Thailand but have spent enough time in the Philippines to know that simply put Asian girls just don't do it for me, great to have fun with but really nothing special, thin with no beautiful rear ends like here in Latin America, 99.89% with no breast, zero personality, zero charm or playfulness, I guess the proverbial "To each his own" applies here, the Paisa "cuteness factor" can be off the charts, simply incredible.

Certainly I would never ever consider living full time in any Asian countries such as Thailand, no thanks, my gawd I am spoiled in Colombia, the sweetest most charming Paisas that I have encountered in my life, sensual / charming / playful / flirty / sexy / girl next door types / etc. Yes they are hard to find but dang once you click with one or two, I have many over the past decade, you will never look back.

So you all can stick to "safe" but for myself and a handful of others, just a few out of a hundred thousand, just a bit of street smarts and measured reasonableness in living and playing (no drinking, no drugs, no risky behaviors) and learning Spanish, well the world will open up for you.

Happy Easter to all!

I concur. I will add that living in Colombia is a game changer vs. Visiting. I visited for 18 years and have lived here full time for two and a half years. I now have a small harum of the finest paisa chicas I have ever been with, girl next door types that are sweet, beautiful and sexy as fuck all, took awhile to weed out the bad apples and mediocre ones but now life is good, very very good.

Its a dangerous place for mongers. I'll be there for the tenth time in a week. You have to know how to operate and be smart. My biggest problems are deciding where to eat and who to see in my 10 days.

Do you mostly eat in restaurants or uber eats?

[Nounce]

The rules:

They can be simplified:

1. Do not walk around.
2. Carry a burner phone, leave your main phone (with banking, etc.) outside of your room.

[Turgid]

Great advice for (insert any and every country here).

Actually, I do not follow those rules when I am in Asia or Europe. The only problem I ever had was once in Frankfurt, Germany when I was shopping for stuff for people back home and got careless and rested my bag on the ground to take photos. After taking the photos the bag was gone. No one got any goodies when I returned home from that trip.

You shouldn't be surprised. Colombia has been dangerous for a long time and it was much worse in the past with the narco violence. Robberies, kidnappings and druggings are not unusual in Colombia and you will hear new stories every week or so. Now I just came back from Thailand and I never felt in danger in any way. If you want easy access to sex for a reasonable price where you don't have to worry about your safety, go to Thailand. If you go to Colombia, the danger is part of the deal. If you don't want to worry about being drugged or robbed, don't go to Colombia. There are other countries where it is much safer. Even Mexico is much safer for mongers and it is closer to Americans. I have always enjoyed myself in GDL, Mexico and I have never felt unsafe there.

I would like to check out a swinger club as I have never been to one. I am not interested in participating but can bring a partner along with if needed.

Does anyone have any recs for a decent, busy swinger place that provides a relaxed atmosphere for just viewing the activities? La Piscina, may be?

Columbia, Missouri is safer than Columbia, South Carolina. I haven't been to Columbia, Maryland and so cannot comment.

[MoonShot]

I was surprised by the level of criminal behavior. In 2023 32 tourist were killed in Columbia not to mention scores of kid napping's. Makes a little leery being a solo traveler.
