Medellin Reports

**Surfer500** · 07-14-21 16:36

Bottom line, if you don't mind where your seated, can travel with very little, along with not being served any food and drinks while in flight, Viva is the way to go. And you'll never hear them before landing say to return your seat to it's upright position as none of the seats recline.

Viva air is very organized and slick, I decided to fly with them to Cartagena as their pricing was so cheap for a roundtrip ticket, $ 75 USD. Navigating their website was like a maze with three options, one with they choose the seat for you and only a small carry on allowed that fits under the seat, and two other options that allow overhead bag space and checked baggage at an astronomical expense. I opted for the cheapest option yet during the process they kept adding all kinds of add on's like special assistance and other stuff which I figured out how to delete before paying. I packed a very small bag as shown in the photo, and all passengers with carry on's have to insert their bag in one of the size openings they had. My bag easily fit in the free size, but it was hilarious watching other people trying to fit oversize bags in the smaller size, akin to trying to fit a gallon of water into a quart jar. And Viva was Johnny on the spot collecting a handsome ransom for those who didn't pay for baggage before hand. As far as the seat assignments which I didn't pay for, they allow you to check in up to 48 hours before and I did within 40 hours and they assigned me to row 3 in the front of the plane, and when I checked in for my return flight I did it about 32 hours before and was seated in row 9, so I think they assign seats in the front of the plane to those who check in early, kind of like that Southwest model to a certain degree. Boarding the flight was from the rear to front and the flight took off five minutes early, no onboard service, yet only a forty five minute flight.

Upon arriving in Cartagena, my Chica showed up early as well at my Hotel, and was dressed to the nines compared to my El Centro street skanks. I hadn't been with her in a while and was treated to a strip tease with her red lingere, she did some modeling for me in her outfits, and we had a great evening together.

In the morning to my surprise I noticed a left hand surf break right in front of the Hotel and wish I had my board with me, but can only imagine what Viva would of charged for that. Regardless, I brought my surf flippers with me and went bodysurfing in the morning, then jumped my Chicas bones, ate breakfast, and am chilling out for another day.

Life is good in Colombia.

I just got back from Pereira. Don't know how late you plan on hanging out, but things close there pretty early. Not that there is any curfew, but it is not that type of party all night town. It is pretty quiet and people hang out in the squares and parks until about 8:30 or 9 then go in to get ready for the next day.

I've been researching but I'm still not quite set on a mongering budget, do you reckon 2 K USD (Flights and accommodation aside ofc) would be doable? BTW I plan on girl a day in centro area as I'll be staying at Nutibara.

Also, it would be helpful to disclose how much you guys budget too, thanks!

Although still cheap by USA standards. I only mention it because you asked about budgeting. Welcome.

How much is an extra fuck or blow job or two per day worth to you? Because it's doable if you stay in a less expensive but still clean and comfortable hotel. Granted, a lot of hotels are deeply discounted now with "Gateway Deals" going on, which supposedly will continue through the end of September. I just checked and rooms at the Nutibara are going for $33 per night for double occupancy (no guest fee for first girl each day) which is a very nice rate. Your call.

I will be staying at a nice property (not in El Centro) with all that I need. I am not looking to monger from my hotel, which has WiFi. 24 hour desk, bar, Two beds, I like to use one bed to lay out my stuff, flat screen satellite TV. I booked single occupancy because the first week I am there I will more than likely be staying with a few different chicas, but for $9 a night it's worth it to have a home base in a safe part of town and not lug all my stuff with me from fuck fest to fuck fest. Once I decide to let mi novia know I am in town, I will switch hotels or at least rooms so when she arrives everything looks fresh and then pay the double occupancy rate.

Consider this, keep your Nutibara room at least for the first couple of nights, and do a little reconnoitering for other hotels during the light of day. There are a lot of hotels on the block behind Nutibara and walking South, toward the business district, toward Simon Bolivar Park. You would not notice a lot of these hotels unless you are looking for them tucked in between the stores and restaurants. I have stuck my head in several and stayed at a few, and there are some gems. Don't continue East or deep straight back from Nutibarra or you will run into one of the most dangerous areas of El Centro, the Venezuelan and tranny district. In other words, don't explore in the direction opposite of Botero Park for more than two blocks. If you start seeing a lot of trannies standing out on the sidewalk, don't freak out but you might want turn around. Unless that's your thing.

If you don't speak Spanish, write a few questions down, "How much is a room? How much is the guest fee? Can I see your best room? Can I have this room if I move in today?" Take a foto of the front of the hotel (always aware of your surroundings, don't get your phone snatched), it's safe to pull your phone out for a quick pic. Write down the answers on the back of a business card from the hotel. Then go back to the comfort and safety of your Nutibara room, and decide if it's worth switching or not. Have fun. Good luck. Worst thing that happens, you get to learn the neighborhood better and you stay put. Even the Vennie section should not give you problems in the light of day if you have street smarts.

Gratuitous fotos, all six fotos are the same chica, and one of my faves in my line-up. Hopefully she will be an early hook up when I return this month. She is sitting on my face and taking selfies in a mirror that I bought at the Dollar Store next door and had hotel maintenance hang. Actual cost of mirror plus install, less than ten bucks. ROI from chicas watching themselves and getting horny, and doing shite like taking videos without my knowledge while sitting on my face, priceless, jajaja.

Overall I want to access if things have returned to normalcy (pandemic wise) or have not yet.

My experience, although it was truncated by Covid, is that mostly things have returned to normal as compared to last November. Almost no place is checking customer temperatures, only a few places require you to use hand sanitizer and less people are wearing masks. The crowds are still not fully returned to Parque Lleras, but it's open late. The Pico and cédula is gone along with the curfew and, while masks are still the norm it's a little more relaxed now.

There are a lot of businesses around Parque Lleras which have closed and not reopened, the same is likely true other places around the city. Overall I'd say it's about 80% back.

I drove through Pereira, but didn't stop. It looked like there were a lot of people out after 8 pm on a Thursday night.

LOL. You can't drive in Colombia like you do in Missouri. Just because something in only 263 klicks away doesn't mean you can get there driving a steady 70 mph. It's like driving the backroads of Colorado. Figure an average of 35 mph.

I don't know how long it's been since you've driven it, but it took me 8 hours to get from Pereira to Medellin due to massive construction. Google maps still shows it as being under construction and taking 8 hours. Maybe you know a better route?

Depending on whether or not Google Maps decides to take a detour off road, it's a solid 8 hours.

I had to postpone my trip 1 week due to some personal issues. I will be there next week starting Monday July 19. My first trip there. If there is anyone that wants to meet up and go have some cold ones and have some fun, send me a pm.

I love Zaaika. Great food. Fair price.

I have stayed at a nice enough place in Poblado a few times in the last few years. Some places have full kitchens, balconies, security and about 600 sq feet of space for like 40 bucks a night now. Check out Affinity Aparta Hotel for example.

I think Dan Carlton is no chica fee in the day, but like 30 or 40 bucks if she is there after 9 or 10 pm. I think that's how several of the Poblado hotels are. Makes sense since if a girl is there in the night she is more likely to use things like towels / soaps and other amenities the hotel is paying for, hence the chica fee only at night.

Right now many of the Hotels in Medellin, and I am not talking about the Love Hotels in El Centro, have been heavily discounting their pricing, especially in Poblado. So on Sunday I decided to treat one of my Chicas to an afternoon / evening / morning in Poblado at a Hotel and started searching on booking. I found the Dann Carlton on Avenida Poblado a few blocks down from Calle 10, and very close to Parque Poblado and a few blocks from Lleras. For $ 46 USD I got a room with a king size bed, a nice view, and breakfast for two. The room was nicely appointed, big flat screen, comfy bed with lots of pillows and a good height for doggie as you can stand up at the end of the bed and prop your Chica up with pillows to get the perfect elevation! Nice pool area and they had a sauna as well, with beers at 10 K poolside. I don't now if this is really a Chica friendly hotel or not as I checked in with my Chica, and didn't see any other mongers there. For dinner I went to the Indian restaurant named Zaaika right around the corner on Calle 8 which is the best Indian restaurant in town as far as I am concerned and open on Sundays as well. As an alternative to taking a Chica out of town, this Hotel had a large pool, a heated Jacuzzi, and a steam room. And there are other Hotels in Poblado that do as well. Chicas love hanging at pools, so instead of the hassle of travelling on a bus out of town, it doesn't get much cheaper than this with all the amenities of a resort out of town.
