Such as it's dangerous being an obvious foreigner there, you have no Spanish speaking skills, the quality of the girls can be very poor, too many weird people walking around, it's filthy and dirty. These in essence are the reasons it's a no go for most members, yet for some these are not an impediment. Some guys want things served to them on a platter, kind of like going to a casa and making a selection. Or calling room service, aka having a Tinder / Fayboo Chica come over. While others like to go on the hunt, lurk, and cruise the streets looking for Chicas.

Posts: 2El Centro
Just wanted to recommend this video of el centro. If you're planning to visit its a great view.
It's from this week, made by a "paisa" with good humor and information, the language is Spanish.

Posts: 31Stop overpaying!
Talking to a Facebook chick, I countered her with a much lower offer (more in line with what a local would pay). Her response was "Eres un gringo why. Pagas tan. Poco y tu tienes dinero". I laughed so hard at that, first time a chica admitted that to me. If more of us banded together and stopped paying these ridiculous prices we can get Facebook chicas for local pricing but I doubt that happens. They all band together on pricing but we can't do that.

You are better off utilizing tinder or exploring casas. They are all over.

Depending on who took them. Some of it is trafficking. They get the girls to agree to go to Mexico to work, but then only give the girls enough to live on and not what was promised, stranding them there for months.
Some are legitimate pimping situations. Some are taken solo by guys. Some go on their own because they can make more money in Mexico.

You suggested you were going to go walk around the deserted streets of El Centro after midnight with only enough money for a taxi, just to prove it's not dangerous. Do you remember? Everything I've said is based upon that claim. It's not based on walking around conducting your business at noon or 6 pm. It's based upon walking around, with no purpose, in empty streets after midnight. Can you remain focused on that for about 3 minutes.
If you have absolutely no purpose to be in El Centro, particularly after midnight, particularly away from where the people are, you should not be there. There is absolutely nothing to gain from the excursion. The same is true anywhere in the city. If you're just going to a part of the city to prove crime never happens, and if it does, the thieves are basically decent fellows who are always 100% reasonable and polite, head up to Paris, Manrique or Milagro for your midnight stroll.
If you decide to take such a stroll, for no purpose other than to validate your opinion about the thieves in El Centro, you're being foolish. However, if there were laws against foolishness we would all be in jail. You don't need to take 1 million pesos and your phone. 150 k, especially if you include your small bills, should be enough for them to grab and run away.
Because, grab it and run away is what you want them to do in the event someone does rob you.
You know what, you do it your way. I'm absolutely certain the nice guy with the gun will be very understanding.
Could you do us all one favor? Before you take your "after midnight nothing dangerous here stroll", put a piece of paper in your pocket that says "Apparently I was wrong. " That way when they find the body, we'll be able to identify you from the news report.

Posts: 4257Cali and the surrounding Valle de Cauca department have severe long standing security problems. Armed rebel groups that actively operate there don't present much risk to our constituency but the rampant robbery and petty crime do. When I worked in Colombia my company had to tailor its operations to avoid situations that would involve employees making intercity trips. We also had problems getting vendors and support organizations to visit our facilities during afternoon hours for fear their employees would end up on the wrong side of a traffic jam that could keep them out after dark.

Have a phone with you, as everyone has a phone, but buy it cheap if you don't want to risk.
I was never robbered by two guys with gun on a motorbike, but in such a case I would be happy to have 100k in my wallet and a cheap phone instead of my Samsung.
Who attempted to rob me in a street of Bogota was a small group of teens with a small knife. They run away after 1 min, but they were not dangerous. It can be worse.
