Medellin Reports

[Incrociatore]

It's doable, anyone can download a a test result template from the internet and change the wording through photoshop. Upload it to the migracion app, the officials are not looking for the authenticity of the Test result.

Sure, good luck to find one, especially in Europe.

Scares me a little that some are not wearing masks. I won't be too far from the park. This trip will certainly have its reservations

This guy is in Medellin and he made this video not this past Saturday but a week ago Saturday, he does a pretty good walk around.

Anyone stayed in this area before. How is it? Feedback welcome.

Hi guys,

Anyone got news on lleras park as far as clubs and bars open. Girls flocking there at night time for business. Also does Poblado or lleras park have casas in the area.

Shadow J said he had never been to Medellin and asked for a comparison. Combo only said Bogota was bigger, he did not say it was better.

If you are after Santa Fe then you would be right in that aspect. While I love that place, I hate the Bogota weather. It is not customary to take chicks back to your room. You just fuck them at the rooms they are in front of or at the clubs they are working at. Unless you are taking them long time. I have never gotten one long time, but of all the ones I have asked about it, I have been able to settle on 100,000 with them for LT. (Of course they start higher, but I have never been one to take the first price I am given.) But if it was a club girl then you would have to wait until she finished work at 2am or whatever.

Yup. Bogota is a much larger city and as such has way more offerings for our hobby. It has way more high-end clubs, and way more low-end options also. But Medellin for most foreigners is a much more pleasant city to visit. The weather is a big part of that. But also, the people are more friendly, and the city is easier to get around.

I agree with Mr. E. I go on vacation for balmy weather as well as pussy.

Hi guys,

The flight is on (for now), I reserved an apartment. I have to be tested for COVID. I got the kit yesterday. I have a question regarding the transport. I will arrive at the airport around midnight. I know there is a bus, but I don't know where it stops. I will stay in Laureles. I don't want to walk at 2 AM with my luggage around the city. Any advice or suggestion? I also don't want to pay 50 dollars for a taxi from the airport.

I respect the advice of my fellow mongers but I double down on my advice and speak from direct experience. I lived on that street for more than 4 months, in Hotel Botero, an apartment, and I stayed at the Nutibara as well. The corner where the bus stops is safe because of the bus workers and the 24-hour caf there is well lit, and there are regular people inside. The owner shoos away the riff-raff. Sit down, grab a bite, and they will help you if you need it. You cross the street and you are at the Nutibara but you have to walk around the closest corner to get to the front entrance that time of night. The sidewalk will take you right to the front door. As long as you don't wander you will be fine. There are taxi cabs at the caf corner where the bus lets you off and if you are so inclined, you could pay the minimum taxi fare, I think it's 3000 (less than $1) to drive you around the building to the front door of the Nutibara. Don't head off in the wrong direction. At that time of night, toting luggage would make you a target for getting "rolled" by the Venezuelan hoods and trannies who control a few blocks over from the Nutibara.

By the time I left El Centro I could walk into the heart of the beast from Botero in the opposite direction of the Nutibara to visit two bisexual female Venezuelan roommates who were friends of mine. Everyone left me alone because I was known by then, and protected by the Venezuelan muscle. My point is maybe I am a little crazy and cavalier with my advice and you should take that into account. I've been to all 7 continents and mongored on six of them (there are no sex workers on Antarctica) and I never had a lick of trouble. Now that I think about it, maybe you should do the opposite of what I say, jjajajajaja I have been incredibly lucky, all my life.

The taxi from the airport is a lot cheaper than you stated but that price quote would probably not get you to your apartment in Laureles. You should have a clear understanding how much it will cost before you get in the taxi. Pencil and paper comes in handy. Write down the address and have the driver write the amount for the fare, and don't get in unless he does.

I have not been to Medellin since the beginning of the Covid crisis, and trouble areas can change. But the months I spent at Hotel Botero just before the crisis, I saw that immediate area around the bus stop and Nutibara getting safer, not worse. Your call.

Fotos are of the Venezuelan Roommates mentioned above, skinny Minnie and Choco-Thik. Their contrast of their asses was made to order and yet another too-good-to-be-true Medellin experience, jeje.

Hi guys,

Anyone got news on lleras park as far as clubs and bars open. Girls flocking there at night time for business. Also does Poblado or lleras park have casas in the area.

I made a brief visit to Parque Lleras last Sunday afternoon out of curiosity. I had not ventured over there since February. Posters here are going to tell you. "bars are open", and technically that is true. There are a few still operating on the weekend. But, the place is devastated. On my walk-through, I surmised that at least 4 out 5 of the restaurants, charcuterias, and licoreras we all used to enjoy are closed. And looking like they will never re-open. It is in no way what you remember or have heard about.

I can't give a personal account, but I highly doubt the place is full of working girls on the week-end due to what I described above.

Even the beautiful Hotel Charlee is shuttered. Its a bit startling to see all of this to those of us with fond memories of nights out there through the past.

The managers hanging out in one restaurant told me they plan to re-open but have no time table.

Calle 10 and Provenza looked a bit less damaged. I ate in Jay-Way (pron. Yah-wheh) Mexican restaurant / bar on Calle 10. The food was good and priced right. I found it irritating though that they do no have menus. You've got to scan a QR panel to see the menu on a smartphone.

In spite of all this, I spotted porky, pink, loud gringos in more than 1 place.

There have never been casas (locally known as "Salas") in Poblado.

I read Combo and ShadowJ post saying they thought Bogota was better. Whether they directly answered my post or not it did answer a question I had. Also what attracts me is the street scene in Bogota (Santa Fe) and there does not appear to be one in Medellin.

In my opinion, the "street scene" if you include the Veracruz area, the park in front of the Museum, the backside of the Veracruz Church, and the Avenida de la Grief area in downtown El Cenro of Medellin has way more women available than the Santa Fe Area, and is less unionized. That's at least my observation of things after spending three days visiting the Santa Fe area a few years back. And again it's a matter of how you roll. Most of the girls in the Santa Fe area at least when I was there were pretty much working in front of the Hotels they used, whereas in Medellin a lot of the women float around more walking around the area's I mentioned. I was looking for street walkers and didn't find a lot that weren't specifically associated with one Hotel. It was very different and one club advertised that they just Paisas in it. It will boil down to personal preference for you. If your a point and shoot, 30 minute, slam bam thank you type of guy you might prefer it over the Medellin street scene regardless of the pro's and con's of Bogota besides mongering which is a whole other subject. I personally won't go back to Bogota, the weather wasn't so much an issue, yet so big and crowded and hard to get around. Perhaps you should visit Bogota a few days and then go to Medellin. A lot of other guys in the past have grappled with the decision your trying to make, and invariably when they go to Medellin first and then Bogota, they wish they had stayed in Medellin.

You would use the San Diego bus to get to Laureles. I doubt the combuses will be running that late with the reduced flight schedules. The alternatives are not necessarily a lot safer. It's easier to get Shanghaied alone in a taxi. If one of you guys has a driver you know that might help the original poster.

Ditto on the midnight bus, a very bad idea. Not a good idea for a seasoned Colombian traveler let lone a newbee. Not sure of your budget but saving money on a midnight bus tour is just stupid.

[The Tall Man]

I don't want to sound like Chicken Little with this warning but rather out of a sense of duty to let all my comrades know to be safe, aware and understand the new risks with visiting centro and the surrounding areas.

God only knows how much time I have spent in Plaza Botero both in the daytime and also many nights (in the clubs) in the past mainly 3 plus years, especially before the China virus then again with the quarantine finished re-started my visits to numerous times each week so it is a place that I like to frequent to "round-out" my mongering activities here in Medellin. I have met a lot of good chicas and have enjoyed much fun over this time.

Just in the past 2 weeks the desperation, if I can use that words to describe the situation, has become completely apparent by the number of robberies and muggings that I have personally witnessed with my own eyes, usually a few each hour and in broad daylight with people all around. I don't understand why they have removed the Tourist Police tent that use to sit in the front of the museum and which everyone could clearly see at least a presence of the police or why you do not see any Tourist Police making rounds like before the China virus, did the mayor de-fund this?

My wingman, who frequents centro almost daily, tells me just a few days ago this week he witnessed a dozen plus muggings and robberies again in daytime all within a time frame of about 5 hours - 5 fucking hours!. There were so many occurring by the centro gangs at the same time that the police, let me say the police who give a shit about cleaning out the Venezuelan trash punk kids gangs out of the park, had to resort to handcuffing the gang member to the nearest secure iron railing so they could run to the next mugging that was happening just around the corner.

So the threat is real and yes it is organized by gangs (both paisa and Venezuelan) for the most part with the street bitches working in union with them, perhaps out of force or wanting to participate in part of the loot. They all carry knifes on their person, some 2 or more knifes, and they have no hesitation to use them to make you leak, hehehe.

Of course there is also the rouge homeless drug glue sniffing piece of shit trying to take advantage of an opportunity but we all need to watch out for both. Again my opinion has shifted over time to now I believe that it is all organized.

You need to know that the moment any gringo walks into the area they (the GANGS) and every working girl all know this and we are being watched and they will pounce the moment your let your guard down.

Suggest to always visit with a buddy or two, or three and keep your head on a swivel and stay constantly aware of everything around you. Do not pull your cell phone out unless your completely aware of your surroundings. Never carry more money than you need to have a bite to eat and to fuck a few of the bitches. Dress down and always be mindful of your surroundings.

I have many details which reinforce these strong opinions and position and hence this strong warning on this situation but because of a variety of reasons (confidentiality) I will not publicly disclose. Just be safe guys.

And yes I will still visit centro and play albeit with a renewed sense of awareness and a give a shit attitude for anyone and everyone that passes you, they are not your friends rather your a target so I have this mind set when I visit. If anyone invades my personal space, that being about a little more than an arms reach I will become mid evil on their ass. This is a message that I have been sending and handing out and will become, I should say has already become second nature.

Much love and respect to all!

The Tall Man.

Thanks for all the info Mr E. I looked up what you said about Bogata and it appears you are right about Medellin. Is Medellin mostly massage parlor type action? If I fly down there I want to be sure I have a point and click type situation. I don't want to have to hunt for it via the internet.

Medellin has street scenes. Mainly in El Centro that is discussed often here but it is basically a day time action. The other is casa. I guess that is what you call massage parlor. You can go to strip clubs at night. If you just want to fuck a lot and don't mind everything else, pick Santa Fe. It has far larger number of better quality girls in a small area that also has many strip clubs. It probably will be difficult if you don't speak Spanish.

I think it is better to wait to make the strip to avoid disappointment. It is hard to tell what is available now.

Of course I am not suggesting anyone do this, but couldn't anyone print out a test result themselves on their word processor and turn it in, as long as it says PCR negative and has a recent date?? Makeup the name of a lab? LOL.

Some buddies of mine were photoshopping one person's test and it worked fine. Just change the name and date. If you were like me and didn't know how to photoshop then they would charge $50 to do it for you.

[Showdown]

What the duck. In which posts did you see that because I literally saw no one suggest Bogota. You did not even ask about Bogota. You asked about Brazil, Medellin, and Dominican Republic. People only started talking about Bogota when another poster asked for a comparison between Medellin and Bogota.

I doubt anyone would suggest Bogota over Medellin, especially for a first timer. There is nothing in Bogota remotely geared towards foreigners so if you do not speak Spanish you could be in for a less than good time. Bogota is not a vacation destination and it is cold on top of that. Most people suggested Brazil. And some said if the flight to Brazil is too long or the Covid scares you then Medellin. Nobody even mentioned Dominican Republic or Bogota in reference to your question.
