Posts: 374Not blaming the victims.
But: why would anyone stand outside anywhere in Medellin with suitcases and bags that make it obvious you are either just coming from or going to an airport? Why not wait just inside the doors for your ride?
Where as hotel security? Maybe they were legit. Occupied?? But why wouldn't they tell these dudes not to wait outside with all of their stuff? I assume they were leaving for the airport-because if they were just arriving-why stand outside at al and not just go straight in?
I just can't imagine myself ever standing outside anywhere in Medellin with all my stuff-like travel bags / suitcases like that.
Also, why would any gringo where a watch or any jewelry at al in Colombia? Heck, I don't eve wear or bring my sunglasses anywhere in Colombia! -the locals aren't all liking around with shades on-so why would I?
Seems like 2 guys just driving by see an easy and obvious target and took advantage. This could have been avoided be waiting inside with their luggage. Isn't that obvious?

Posts: 261Wow that's pretty scary. From watching a lot of YouTube videos you are clearly more vulnerable in transient spaces which is what I try to avoid. When I moved out of San Peter to another apartment I agreed to meet the dude at 2 pm. The main door is street access and he was not there, then he starts asking if I am there or not?? I was standing on the street like those 2 dudes with all my possessions feeling extremely paranoid and panicky. I started to get really mad at the dude demanding he come immediately. I found a cafe across the street and waited it out there until he arrived 30 minutes later. Looking back I should have left my things in San Peter longer until I actually had the keys to my new gaff. Anyway thanks for posting the vid as it is a good reminder of how things can go very wrong.

Posts: 1274That was disturbing, there is (or was last time I was there) an armed security guard in that building too. What I wonder though is how that went down, Did two guys just come riding by on the motor cycle and see them and decide to stop, They had to be hanging outside for a while and they had their bags. Maybe waiting for a taxi?

Posts: 3374It depends. It that were The Tall Man, the guy with gun would not be "safe". The moment he touched The Tall Man, he would be sent flying to squash the guy on the motorcycle.

Posts: 978Dead Zone
Corner of Carrera 53 and Calle 51 (walkway on side of the Veracruz church). Girls in front of the yellow restaurant. Met another girl standing in front of the restaurant wanting paid first (which I did not do) and not to touch her boobs. Killed the mood so had to start and finish in doggie only. She had braces.
I noticed a familiar face from Bogota from last year. I had a guy I know ask her if she worked Santa Fe Bogota last year and the answer has a 'yes'. I remember her because she had a cute baby face but she would not take her shirt off which caused problems and she wanted paid upfront. I think I gave her half just to get her out the door. I noticed she either brought her BF from Bogota or found a new one. So that makes 3 horrible girls standing in front of that yellow corner restaurant which is now a dead zone for me. The girls on the side seem fine.

Posts: 658San Peter Apts
A friend told me he rented at San Peter pretty cheap last week via airbnb. Like less than $30 per night. But that's one of the center units facing Setenta.

Posts: 2379Medellin centro
Between bar Ejecutive (open) and bar Maracaibo (closed) there's a garage, and in the back of it, hidden behind a little four foot entry door is a place calling itself VIP club. If a spotter on the street invites you in, go for it. The club is apparently being run under the radar. It's new, not too big, there's a party vibe, and nicely stocked with chicas. Beer only 8 k.

Please throw some light on the "not needed" hassle.
I would have chose Ayenda rooms but the only thing lacking is safebox in the rooms which made my choice lean towards San Peters.
Do they accept Credit card now?
Fisrt thing after check in I used to hit Aisha spa. Sad. Hope it reopens soon.
