Medellin Reports

[Haokool]

I need some help. I was Covid positive a month ago and had mild symptoms. My understanding is that I would continue to show positive for weeks or months so obtaining a negative test prior to my next trip might be difficult or impossible. I have available a letter or recovery from a health administrator/epidemiologist and with that I guess a scientific expectation that I am not contagious nor susceptible. That's sufficient for travel within the US where a Covid diagnosis might be required.

I am able and capable of getting the vaccine as the CDC believes the vaccine is safe 14 after Covid symptoms subside. But having proof of vaccination would not matter per se if a negative test is required with that. I'm not even sure Colombia is requiring a vaccination, just thinking out loud as I type this.

I wish proof of recent recovery would be enough because there are questions emerging about effect amplification from the vaccine in post Covid patients. It's not clear if having a significant amount of antibodies with the vaccine causes the body to overreact or the Covid remnants to embed in tissue, whatever that result might be.

So anyway. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've called the Consulate many times and cannot get a real person to answer the phone.

Painfully hilarious! "Currently, there are no vaccinations required to enter the country."

No vaccine what so ever required, actually they have never heard of COVID 19.

I got this link from their embassy's website.

The rule is simple, clear, and concise. Negative PCR test taken within 96 hours required for entry.

Who would read your letter anyway? The ladies at immigration that check the document do not speak English (assuming your letter is in English). They know to look for 4 things. Name, Date, PCR, Negative.

Unfortunately, you and the left always resort to name calling and insults and not able to hold a fair and intellectual conversation and entertain an type of respectful debate, so for that reason I see you will never allow any discussion contrary to your thought process. So for that reason you are now on ignore.

Again another right wing post overlooked by the admin.

A doctor's note that says you recovered during the past 90 days gets you in if I'm not mistaken. Confirm with your airline and migracion. Gov. Co.

Yup, I prefer the fake look and the ambience at gusto / la isla over el centro. We have different tastes and budgets, spending 30 k vs 300 k doesn't make or break me. If I lived there, it would likely be different.

Ive never been to el centro, but based on the YouTube videos, the chicas are definitely not my type

Maybe for shit and giggles you should visit El Centro. Just look around, you might be surprised by some of the women you see, or like many others be repulsed by what you see, and I'm speaking in terms of besides the women who work there.

Lots of guys have tried to pull the trigger there, but haven't been able to, and it's not a negative reflection on them, it's just how they roll.

Regardless, you should make a visit to the area at least once and check out Botero's sculptures and the Museum.

And who knows, you might even get lucky.

[Surfer500]

Thank you very much for this report, this is invaluable information, this is by far more information than I have seen anywhere else, The fact that you say people did not know these riots were going to take place is very important because it means there is no guarantee of avoiding it, I said in my post that Envigado looked like the wisest choice of places to stay right now, but then since there are only essentially two roads to get to the airport, if they shut them off that could be a disaster for anyone looking to get out. I have not heard anything about Cartagena but if I were looking to take a trip I personally would definitely avoid Medellin now and I would be looking hard at Cartagena to see what was happening there.

It's difficult right now to give advice to others as to what City to visit in Colombia in the weeks to come. For some like myself, and I've been to Cartagena a few times, and it's a beautiful City, but doesn't fit how I roll, yet for others works well.

As far as the roads to and from the Airport being closed, as I recall the tunnel was shutdown earlier for a while at the onset of the protests but was opend a few weeks ago. The thought of access to the airport being blocked and shutting it down is most definitely a scary thought, but I suspect highly unlikely with Medellin being the second largest City in the Country so the Government would never allow this to happen, yet the ouftall of keeping access to the airport open could be very ugly, perhaps like something out of a war zone in the Middle East.

Up until a week ago, it seemed as though the civil unrest was simmering down, at least in Medellin, yet the madness continues.

COVID is one thing, yet the civil unrest adds a whole new dimension to things.

I have been saying "Fuckitall" a lot lately.

[Surfer500]

Honestly I don't feel that it's my call to make but it's clearly evident that ithere major civil unrest here which has been escalating with the potential for it to escalate even further. Coupled with the fact that most embassies are advising against travelling to Colombia and therefore if things go south you're unlikely to get assistance, is that a situation you want to put yourself in? If it was a friend asking me I would advise against it..

It's amazing to think that up until just a few months ago, COVID was the big concern with many in deciding whether or not to come to Medellin, and know it's civil unrest, yet COVID is raging thanks in good part to the protests. So for guys trying to decide whether to come down, this is something that should be considered as well. And I am saying this in terms if they start the weekend lockdowns again. I suppose will know what next weekend looks like maybe today or tomorrow. The next two weekends have National holidays associated with them on Monday's, so two three day weekends in a row. For me, getting locked down won't work, so I might fly out somewhere, or leave.

As far as what you have personally witnessed, I would not want to be caught up and saw what you've seen. The only thing I have witnessed personally are peaceful protesters walking down Avenida Las Vegas, and the Autopista either looking like a parking lot or totally deserted with no cars in one direction. I can see people here who do not follow the news, and not being aware of what's going on and being oblivious to it all, or perhaps they just have the attitude of fukitol.

I know this civil unrest issue has been simmering a long long time, but the timing / announcent of a very unfair tax scheme by Duque was like dropping a turd in a punchbowl, and the catalyst of the madness. I can't imagine what you witnessed happening in Laureles, but it did, and that means it could happen in a barrio like Provenza in Poblado. So is it really safe anywhere in town?

Anyways, you personally would advise a friend not to come to Medellin now, and I advised a friend of mine not to come down as well, but more in terms of potential weekend lockdowns versus the civil unrest which I think can be avoided if your very careful, but unfortunately besides that, there's the increased danger factor of being mugged and robbed / stabbed that has been occurring as well. So most definitely for a rookie mongerer, a first timer to Medellin, and / or a non Spanish speaker, stay away for while until things simmer down both in terms of the civil unrest and COVID.

Hello,

I am organizing a trip there and I would like to find a girl to be with me for a week, what would be a good price for 7 days?

I'm looking for a normal girl, not a model, type GFE.

Thanks.

Before I made to el centro Medellin a while ago I thought I knew it all by watching few vids. I did same for sosua, Costa Rica, etc. Boy was I wrong. Taking a shot and visiting el centro was the best part of my vacation. Don't get me wrong, I love face dos, I really enjoyed gusto and la isla, being all dressed up in ac, good music, drinks, have pretty ladies dancing on you, it's a dream come true. The fun in centro became addictive in a way, and I mean there were girls that were just as pretty and even more natural. The videos you watch only show like 5% of what really goes on, barely. If you walk around in the right spot you can truly discover some gems. I went nuts. And for 30 k pesos. Are you fuckng serious? When I told some Poblado / parque Lleras dudes about that place they didn't believe me till I showed some of the girls pic, then many of them went next day. My friends back home still cannot believe I can find dimes to fck for $10 usd, I found same in several local casas in Costa Rica and I though I found heaven. In one of them I banged an 8, all natural for like $5 usd, yes recently.

It's really nothing to argue about, facts are facts. You're either winning, losing, or think you're winning. Don't let your arrogance or silly perception keep you from living and experiencing things. Maybe is a fear of the streets, cowardice, laziness? Whatever it is it's pointless to argue about it. In a way, the fewer want to bes that stay away from the streets the fewer competition the alphas and the braves will have. Also it doesn't have to be one or the other. Why not all 10 options? I hunt these hoes in 10 different ways from fb, gusto type clubs, tinder, centro, casas, twitter, cupid sites, sa, heck I even fuckd few maids, waitresses and street vendor nonpros. Bangd moms and daughters, sisters, cousins, heck I've met some girls attempted to rob me and scam me, I still found a way to bang them cause they were pretty LOL. Two girls posted fake pics, lied, we argued and fought till cops almost called, then I made a deal. Lets just fuck and here's cash LOL. They tried to play me so I played them first as I'm always prepared. Doesn't matter how you do it just don't be closed minded thinking you know it all.

Viva El Centro!!

[Gringo Trooper]

I was entering my hotel in Medellin after curfew tonight, and I couldn't help but overhear an American whining to the front desk about getting robbed.

The lobby was empty, but I just loitered so I could hear what happened. From the sound of his voice he was from New York or Jersey and looked like he was in his late 20's or early 30's.

He said "they took my Rolex watch and they even took my Gucci bag."

Then he went on to tell the receptionist that he got drugged. He also said he doesn't do drugs nor drink, so he was saying something about how he didn't know how a girl or girls drugged him.

He was fully alert and talking normally so he must have gotten robbed, not tonight, but on a prior day during his trip here.

I'm not sure why he thought it was okay to bring a Rolex and expensive items down here, but whatever, he hopefully learned his lesson.

I've been here for several days and have seen zero protests. But I did go on a coffee date with a girl (non-pro) that goes to the protests in El Centro obviously to protest.

She said the protesters have something called "line 1" which are the protesters who may or may not be criminals and don't give a crap about raising some hell. She stays in the back area, but it's still dangerous.

If you want to avoid the protests, just don't go to the areas where protests typically occur.

Cheers!

It's true demonstrations and riots can pop off at any time at any place. It's also true the daily newspaper publishes a schedule so we can avoid them. Crimes and accidents of course are even more unpredicatable. If it's going to be a scary time it's best to go somewhere with a less frightening reputation. Today I sheltered in place because of a thunderstorm.

Having been caught up in the riots the other day I have to disagree with everything you said and with the contents of those videos for a number of reasons

I know a number of guys who had no idea the protests were taking place. I heard there were protests but had no idea they would be in Laureles, as well as the fact that there was supposed to be the biggest protests of all time the week before which I don't think actually happened.


The whole of the LE setanta became a war zone and what would happen if you had a flight out that day?

Now when these riots start up can anyone guarantee that the same thing won't happen again in Poblado where they start setting buildings on fire and all out anarchy takes place where you are in severe danger. No.

The fact of the matter is Medellin or Colombia is bubbling over right now and these people have upped the ante with no end in sight. During the recent riots I was actually walking home and walked into a full scale riot and got tear gassed. It was pretty scary with smoke and explosions everywhere.

. Just a further observation for any of you that remember the riots in Tottenham London when they started settling buildings on fire in the same way and that situation quickly got out of control with people leaping from the top floors to get out. I'm not trying to scare anyone thinking of coming but I think it's time for a reality check..

They all are from the barrios. Though some have been in the game long enough to get some risky surgery and a fake Gucci purse to tote. I've seen it time and again, girls start out in Centro strip clubs then graduate to Fase Dos. Or start in a Centro casa then go to Energy then Lutron, Facebook or Cartegena, and almost invariably looked better when they were new to game, natural, and charging a small fraction of the price they later came to expect. But in the process of paying more you get a bit better "ambience" though it all looks and smells about the same when the lights go on at the end of the night. And you can feel like a bigshot, Money Mayweather make it rain and what not, call others broke, but that's typically just as fake as the girls you are paying too much for. That said, enjoy. It's your fantasy. Jajajaja.

Spot on. Especially when 50+ year olds start talking about alpha vs beta in the p4p market, hilarious stuff. I'll pay what I want for pussy and could careless if broke asses whine about it; call it gentrification, they can go find p4p in the barrios Jajajaja.
