My standards are pretty high.
I am booking a flight back there based on the reports I'm seeing. Any hookups?
Also I real want to upgrade my account but my coinbase is stuck smh I've got so many issues man.
Anyway once I get on the ground I'll be good to go.
I literally don't see how this is possible. There are girls who are 8/9/10's down there you can bang for under 500 k COP. After each trip I end up saying "that was too risky" (AKA that 14 girl orgy with the girls at the Mansion after that police raid) and pray for my STD test instead of coming back a virgin.

You went to Colombia and came back still a virgin? Budget too high? You tried to fuck a Sofia Vergara looking type of chic? .

According to their latest newsletter, the bar is closed. The pool bar is open in afternoon til early evening. Pool party is Thursdays.
I don't know why people don't ever think to email them directly to find out what's going on in the place they are planning to stay at, LOL.

Hi all, I am coming to Medellin today with a friend and staying at Hotel M. Does anyone know if the bar next door is open? I know there is a curfew and weekend lockdown going on right now. TIA.

For any obvious gringos in Medellin right now this should serve as a warning to be very careful in El Centro right now.
Imagine if all the street thugs came to the same conclusion that the REAL money was holed up in Hotel Premier Plaza and they all decided to storm the place.
Talk about sitting ducks!

This is the largest video of the post.

In the second video there are 3 other incidents that by the store signs you can tell are just across for Hotel Premier Plaza just a little south of Plaza Botero down Carrera 52, two of them are going on at the same time. From the vantage of the camera you can see that they are shooting from the balcony of hotel premier plaza and the second video that shows the three more incidents is in same spot. On the post this video is off to the side.

In this third video I am seriously not sure the guy is still alive, he is definitely not conscious and he could have just got choked out but his neck has a funny angle to it that makes him look dead, I am almost positive that this was at Veracruz church. On the post this video has the blurred out look and the eye with a like through it because of "graphic" content
At least for me, and at this time, all of your links lead to the same video. However if you go to full screen and click the right arrow, you're led to the other two.
But it all demonstrates a point I've made for years. Most everyone counts on a "gentleman's robbery" where they'll be approached head on with a weapon and asked for valuables. But it's at least as likely that you'll be attacked by a group, have your ass whooped to varying degrees, are relieved of your goods and no questions are asked. Now of course there's guys in here too big and bad and / or smart to ever have that happen. Wink But the rest of you guys be watchful, and perhaps even opt not to walk around Centro for a while. Good luck.

Think I'll hold off any MED vacations till things get back to closer to normal. They used to have the police tent right between the plaza and the church.

They punched, kicked, and choked innocent and poor people every 5-10 minutes in the afternoons. Some gringos were robbed as well. Bystanders and police did nothing and they just watched the robberies.

I am at another hotel and saw the same thing as you. Worst was the first day. Then much less and less each day because less and less people. But that first day was scary. Same day the idiot foreigner in my hotel almost got shot with a rubber bullet which he would have deserved (he does stupid stuff). Plus, many street poles with their signs attached being carried past the church on their way past the museum. Stupid expensive vandalism.
Mr. E. I doubt there ever is a time that Botero is less dangerous than El Poblado. You have a zillion posts so people believe you know something which you obviously do not. Your crap will get a newbie hurt! Please shut up.
