Medellin Reports

[Fun Luvr]

... 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.

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.

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.

I never felt or heard anyone suggest that after 10 pm the area near my hotel was a 'no-go zone'.

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.

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.

What is the rate at Loutron?

330 k + tip so about $100 usd.

Hacienda is going strong and so is the Hato Viejo chain. It will be a while before Botero hotel reopens if it ever does. I read that the Ayenda chain went bankrupt. The legendary Versalles is open. Years ago I bought an empanada at the front counter. I later gave it to a homeless guy in Parque Bolivar because I noticed a cockroach walking across the merchandise as the counter lady reached into the display case to get the empanada. I haven't fucked with the place since then. It's not necessarily any less clean than other places but I can't shake the memory. A couple of doors down the hill from the old Botaniko location is a nice little Colombian place called Vendimia. It's very clean and it uses fresh ingredients to make dishes very much like what Botaniko used to make. They get a lot of the same customers who work at the nearby clinics that Botaniko used to get. There is a long lineup at an EPS clinic next door that hides the entrance. If you like Botaniko you will like the food there.

Planning my 5th trip later this year.

My cheap go to, 24 HR, Braza Pan behind Nutibara Hotel on the corner next to the Metro? (corner of Maracaibo & Bolivar).

My cheap seafood across from the SW corner of Parque Bolivar, Ostras Marbella? (Calle 54 & Carr 49).

My fav breakfast place on Carr 49, walking street Paseo Junin, Versalles Restaurante why Pasteleria?

And my fav higher end food in Centro:

Hacienda. Junin?

Cafe Colombo Credenza?

I think I already heard Botanko Bistro (next to Casa New Life) closed.

Also if they reopen Hotel Botero let me know! Will do Hotel Nutibara otherwise but I love the top floors in the Botero facing west, great view, good breeze and less noise up high.

Versalles is open don't know about any of the rest of them.

This is rock solid advice. Ignore it at your peril.

Actually you have a better chance of getting robbed in Poblado versus El Centro and Paulie enumerated some of the reasons why foreigners are better targets than locals.

The reality of all of this is, and with you having four years of no incidents, is that you may become complacent, and when you least expect it, boom you get jacked up.

If anything I have learn't about Medellin in particular is, that you can never "let your guard down", as typically you will get jacked up when you least expect it as I'm mentioning again.

There have been countless reports of guys getting jacked on the Medellin thread over the years, myself included.

So my advice to everyone is again.

'Never let your guard down'.

And I'm not just talking about the street, but with the Chicas as well, and that's a whole other topic of it's own.

Hit me up on instant messaging. I haven't been to Lima in quite a few years and I am interested. I can give you some Medellin background.

I monger in NYC and have been for a couple of years now. Sorry for my lack of respect points on this website but tbh this isn't my forte'.

Anyways, end of August I plan to travel to Colombia or DR strictly for mongering. I am a young guy, traveling solo most likely, speak Spanish, am Peruvian (so I blend in pretty well at least in Colombia), and going to carry $3000 total.

I am leaning towards Colombia because I prefer skinny women but a (expert) monger friend of mine says to try DR because its cheaper and things are closer together.

Taking covid restrictions into consideration, which country do you recommend with my ideals and budget?

I'm a little leas versed with Colombia. I don't know the chica prices. Is it expensive? Where should I land if I want to go to the beach as well? Are the beach and chicas mutually exclusive? I know in DR they come hand in hand. Hotel? Food? What are the prices for those in Colombia. I can defend myself so I don't worry too much about dangers of Colombia.

Anyways, thank you for your help!

As a trade, I can offer monger info on Peru, Lima.
