Medellin Reports

[PVMonger]

Lets think out of the box on this one.

A laminated or plastic covered color copy of your ID makes the ID look more credible versus black and white especially with the Police, and you can get it wet and it won't dog ear and de-grade.

Even better yet what I have done is had photocopy's of all my ID's reduced down to business card size front and back so they are the size of a credit card, and fit right into my wallet.

Makes things a lot easier to whip out than a big folded piece of paper that besides getting dog eared may get wet and the ink runs and ruins it. I have been caught is some downpours in Medellin and have been soaking wet so another reason to laminate.

Just remember that in some countries (Mexico is one), color copies of IDs are considered illegal.

Hi members,

I want to spend my birthday which is the 9th of July.

I have reservation for flights.

Arrival to Medellin is 8th in the evening.

Leaving on the 12th early morning.

I'm a bit confused as to where I should stay.

Money is not an issue as I like to go to nice places.

I also want to check out El Centro.

Any experience guys can help me here.

All drinks on me.

Sureman.

Blade 2001 should stop trying to damage businesses in mde by posting incorrect information. I know the mansion girls want 200 k or so, less than $60 usd, not the $100 usd blade 2001 alleges. Is he a jealous loser, a rival lying businessman, a troll, or someone who can't get laid for $500? Quien sabe? Pos.

[Shemp]

Blade 2001 is a flat-out liar regarding the mansion hotel, $ 100 for a chica, bullshit information. What a fucking liar. 200 k, approx $ 57 us is the true price. I know, I just got laid there recently. So stfu with your lies.

Hi guys,

I've been mongering for about 10 years, in the States and extensively when I lived in Asia. Have never been to South America before and have the chance to line up a 7-day (or so) inaugural visit in the next couple of weeks. I plan to spend it all in Medellin so I've been reading and watching vids to make a plan of action. Really appreciate the work the posters here have put in to give us all assistance. Just Googling things like "guest friendly hotels Medellin" didn't return the amount of results I expected. It is super easy to find all that basic info, on a number of different sites, for the main Asian mongering destinations like the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, etc. So again the help provided here is crucial to me as I work to plan for this mongering trip.

I've seen a couple hotels mentioned here that should be guest friendly: specifically Hotel Nutibara, Hotel Dorado la 70, Hotel Medellin Plaza (Mansion? And Hotel Haven. From the basic research, I was thinking Hotel Nutibara could be the best selection for guaranteed guest friendly, but the "not safe outside after 10 pm" kind of has me thinking twice. I spent a lot of time in sketchy parts of Manila and although pickpockets and swarming street kid picket-pocket "gangs" were an issue one had to be aware of. I never felt or heard anyone suggest that after 10 pm the area near my hotel was a 'no-go zone'. I wonder if anyone with possible experience in a city like Manila would compare the Plaza Botero, El Centro, and the general area around Hotel Nutibara in particular to Manila? When I hear "be off the streets by 10 pm" South American stereotypes of Archer (TV) style paramilitaries jump into my head LOL.

Other than that, appreciate the info in this thread. Looking up flights from where I am in the US, studying about the districts / areas of Medellin overall, the Colombian peso / the cost for the chicas, and generally occupying my restful summer with these plans. Fingers crossed I'll be in Medellin in a couple weeks. Thanks.

I've roamed the streets of the SE Asia countries you mentioned and others as well late at night and never even thought about safety issues. I've walked the seedy parts of Manilia late night and never had issues with kid "gangs" or pickpockets or anything like that. Always felt totally safe throughout SE Asia day and night. It's an apples and oranges comparison imo. El centro Medellin already had crime issues at night before the influx of Venezuelanos and pre-covid. Now after these events there's even more very desperate people walking the streets. Chicas are selling ass for a few dollars worth of pesos so that gives you an idea of the desperation.

Where to stay depends on your style of finding girls and at what price point. If you want the bargain basement prices of street walkers then yeah stay at Nutibara. At night you could walk to the couple clubs that are very close (and also inexpensive) probably without problems. But I wouldn't venture far from Plaza Botero at night. And I haven't even been there at night for a few years so not sure how much it's changed.

If you're not looking for street walkers and plan to use agencies or social media or casas or Fase Dos/La Isla type nicer clubs and want a decent lodging place in a safe neighborhood at a pretty cheap price check out San Peter apartments in Laureles. You should be able to find it on airbnb. They allow you to check in girls for visits at no cost.

If you want to go higher end on both lodging and chicas stay near Parque Lleras at Haven Hotel or Hotel M. The later has chicas available on site but is overpriced for the lodging. Haven is very close to Parque Lleras where you can find a lot of action but at a higher price point.

Maybe you want to mix it up with a couple nights here and a couple nights there. Probably a good way to do a first visit. Enjoy and please write up a report with your experiences in Medellin.

... Prices vary widely in Medellin. At Faces Dos US $70 for about 40 min, nice rooms. At La Isla US $100 for 1 hour, nice rooms. Hotness of girls vary greatly but you can find some stunners here. In the Centro area, girls are US $20 or $3 o. Difficult to find hot girls in centro though. If you stay at the Mansion Hotel, it costs about $100 to bring the girl to your room. At Gusto at parke Llierass, $100 to $200 or more, but I would avoid as it's a ripoff. Street hookers in the actual park US $70 to $100. ...

I think the information posted here should be accurate to the best of the poster's knowledge. I haven't been to Fase Dos or La Isla, so I won't post prices. The normal prices in Centro are 30,000 (US $8. 50) and 40,000 (US $11). You have to add the price of a room to that, and that should be an additional $5 to $8. At the Mansion, most of the ladies will do short time for 200,000 (US $56) All night should be less than US $100. Some of the ladies at Gusto will ask for ridiculous amounts, up to US $350. Most can be had for around $80 or less. Most of the street walkers around Parque Lleras will go for 250,000 (US $70) or less for an hour or two.

For reference, today's exchange rate is 3768 COP for US $1. My numbers are at a lower rate than that because I know many people use exchange houses which give a lower than market rate.

With travels to seven continents. Whoever hotel clerk is asking for that I think is on a little power trip. Either the real one of a paper copy of your passport would usually cover all eventualities. In fact, you should not go out on the street with your real passport. I have my passport foto page copied on one side, and the visa page copied on the other. Color not necessary either. I have used the same copy until it was dogeared and falling apart and no one gave a shite including random stops by policia. One of my many little travel hacks is to have a copy made at the hotel front desk at time of check in, when you have to show your passport. I have always been able to get a copy this way without a problem, and I usually tip a 2 mil COP note or fifty cents.

There are many bars and clubs still open during normal time so it is not exactly no-go. You just need to know where you are going and keep moving toward your destination. You can study and walk around the area during day time when the street is busy and safer. You will feel more comfortable at night without needing to check map.

For where to stay, you can check the posts and the posters to see which one fit your mongering style. They are quite different. Mansion is a good choice if you can get a room for a few days.

I would also say that the cutoff time to be wandering around El Centro is about 8 pm. That's when most of the businesses have closed and most of the streets are deserted. After that it's best to know exactly where you're going.

What do you think a laminated copy is? It is a paper copy covered in plastic so it doesn't get dogeared. Maybe you are thinking of the passport card.

Also, the OP said the desk clerk would not accept the laminated copy. He didn't say that person asked for anything.

Botaniko is gone. The former owner is now running a Nina Simone themed restaurant in the space that used to be Cafe Colombo Credenza on the 10th floor of the Colombo-Americano building.

Oh man, I loved dinner on the balcony at Cafe Colombo!. Great food, great sangria, not bad prices. I took a little wookie to dinner there, she turned into a butterfly later. LOL.

Also a shot of the breakfast at Versailles.

A Seeking girl, "Dana" is a decent-looking redhead that also sent a quick video of her friend who looked good. We got to the point of compensation, and I let her make the first move. She said, "Well, you paid $99/ month to find girls who want an agreement. We want 300 USD each. Anything less and we aren't interested. " I laughed and recommended she start getting ready to go to Gusto for the night. The interesting part was it was the first time a chica had mentioned the cost of a Seeking membership. She severely over-shot, but I respected her approach.

I went back & forth with Dos Santos Cantina in Provenza, and finally ended up getting a dinner reservation, 3 weeks out, for 7p. There was nothing available sooner, aside from lunch, and nothing available later in the evening. So, if anyone is heading into town for a week trip, and wants to have a date night, check it out well before arriving. Not sure if you could go at lunch and grease the hostess.

CoinSlot asked Pinky right as she arrived the other night if I fuck other chicks. Pinky said no, only trios or 4s with her. CoinSlot then told her since they are friends, which they are not, that she has to show her our conversation. She said she doesn't want her to be with a bad guy. The truth is, CoinSlot relentlessly messages me asking to come over. In fact, just a couple days before our last trio, she wanted to come over while Pinky was at classes and the gym. Pinky said CoinSlot told her several times that she wants a rich boyfriend and that I am good-looking. She's fucking stupid; like, asking if AM or PM is the evening stupid. Although, this is next level stupid. 1) She loses out on my 150k average of paying her between quickies or trios, and 2) She doesn't get anything out of spilling the beans.

Has anyone been to La Isla, recently? I would assume they're back at 100% but I have noticed that they aren't using the search lights at night.

The Dominican Republic is among the the world's most popular tourist destinations.

This is purely because of the resorts of Punta Cana. A school teacher that I mess with in Santa Marta just got back a couple of days ago. "lindo🇩127476;, Punta Cana, y sus pueblitos. Quiero volver cuando no haya restricciones".

Colombia is way cheaper than DR. I just paid a taxi in Barranquilla $10 to take me from my hotel 10 minutes to the wash house to pick up my laundry, then 40 minutes to the airport. In DR a taxi will want $25 to go from the airport in Santo Domingo 10 minutes down the road to Boca Chica.

I don't know if it changed or the person was in bad mood, but back in April the Premier Plaza didn't allow me in with laminated copy of passport (it never happened before), so since then I was using Zona Rosa.

What is the rate at Loutron?

It's around 300 K. It was a little less when I visited. There is an added taxi / car cost, for me it is more than 30 K for round trip.

The procedure described is standard for most casas. Most people probably will be overwhelmed during first visit so enjoy it while it lasts. I think it won't be as easy to find 10 or 9 for many after acclimated to the scene.
