I was there exactly at 9 PM and it started to rain around 10 minutes later. While walking down Calle 10 the rain started to get harder and harder. What I witnessed was accurate in terms of what I saw. Did you notice that one side of Lleras was closed. I had dinner with a friend who lives a few blocks away and the rain didn't start until right after 9 PM. I didn't go inside any of the clubs and can only imagine that the ones outside, approximately 20 had no umbrellas with them must of entered the clubs. Maybe not enough potential clients inside of them, hence they were outside. I have no experience with the Clubs around Lleras, but was surprised to see so many outside on the street at 9 PM immediately before the rain started. There were also girls on the side streets leading up to Lleras, did you notice them? Seemed odd to me so many out at 9 PM, but that's what I saw. As far as pricing, I have no clue except by what I read by others here.

Yoooo, clubs were so packed with Gringos it was shoulder to shoulder. The thing about Lleras, many of the chicas simply Cannot or Not allowed to enter the clubs. The ones that enter are technically working for the club, hence asking for drinks to generate profit for the club etc and stick to certain rules and pricing (Gusto, Llera club mainly). Also many of the Venezolanas aren't allowed to enter, unless they're with a gringo. I had to sneak some in to use restroom, etc. But 9-10 p is way to early to bounce, the best honeys start showing up around 11/12. Some of those hop straight out of a taxi to inside quickly, so go in next time. I'm always surprised to see some of those myself cause I never see them in the street. If you get a table even better, most will join you for dancing or free lap dance trying to get your biz, or just walk around and collect digit it's worth it.

Just helping fellow travelers with the right info:

Per US embassy site Antigen test cost is $40-$45 USD in Medellin which is 150-180 k. In my Hotel they had an domicilio option for 150 k = $40 approx which they took a while to respond, so I went to Pablo Tabon Uribe Hospital instead and paid 180 k = $47 USD, 1 HR result via email. The cost is clear in the doc per testing site. No argument needed.

If the pricing at the Airport is truly 90 Mil = $24 or half the price of All other sites in Mde, which you still said it's High, I'd say it's a bargain. But honestly I doubt it's that cheap. There is a test "Anticuerpo = Antibody" test not valid for travel which usually is around 90 k. Just FYI.

If your travelling to the USA, the antigeno test is accepted and most people opt for it than the PCR test because it's so inexpensive and quick. Yet your saying that this test is not valid for travel, yet that is what you got tested for?

This is the ad.

As I stated if true it's a great deal. I never stated you lied, just surprised you said it was high, when in fact it's half of the price of all of of the ones in the official list from the Embassy. I'm like I paid 180 k, you paid 90 and now an Ad that shows 80 and you claim it's High LOL. How? I want to go back to the hospital and fight for my money back now LOL.

Your experience is your experience, but trust me and my 16 years of experience including monthly trips to Medellin other than when the border closed. The airport site is simply a pain in the ass. It's an option, but a pain in the ass. You can get it cheaper elsewhere, but cost is not really the issue so much as convenience and comfort. Domicilio is the most convenient, but usually the most expensive. And I agree that you need to be careful with what test your get. You can get the PCR, but it's unnecessary. The alternative, which is cheaper and is still accepted is antigeno. You imply that I did not give the "right" information. But you are "wrong" about that. I don't talk about what I do not know.

I asked at my hotel and they suggested the below which worked out quite well. I just swung by on my way from Lleras to Centro. There was some construction nearby and I needed a copy of my passport (had a pic on my phone thankfully) for registration, but aside from that it was quick and very professional. They gave me a print out and sent an email when I asked. $80 k / $20.

I'm going to be in Medellin in tomorrow for 10 days. Need to get a covid test within 3 days of my flight back to the US. Where do you guys recommend in Medellin? Needs to be antigen or NAaT.

There are plenty of girls not getting customers so it is not likely to affect her pride but she might feel embarrassed "lose face" if she lowers her price in front of others to go with a customer.

From my observation in BKK, there is very little chance a monger can get freebie when the girl is working. For a girl somewhat popular, they can pick the customer they want to go or spend more time with and still get paid because there are simply too many mongers that the number is in their favor.

A few weeks back sum fool wrote his friend offered sum puta in MDE 3 million fucking pesos isn't that 6 mos salary (and he wrote "good for him" LMAO), I'm guessing that wasnt his starting bid? She really really didn't want to fuck him.

I see it all the time the most unattractive mongers among us (sorry someone has to be bottom LOL) will gravitate towards the more "attractive" putas in most venues.

They will get sodomized on price, and probably the worst service possible, but hey they got to walk out with her.

And everyone saw him leave with her jajajajaaaaa its all about generating "face" for sum.

So I'm guessing sum putas get tired of servicing the lower end of the monger ladder?

And when they see a monger they want to fuck, they don't care about the money aspect?

I only used the site the second time because I made a last minute change in flight and had no real other option The antigen test costs 90 mil, which is high. But you are paying for the convenience. The other times I have gotten the test elsewhere. There are testing sites around the city (the USA Embassy web site has a list). When I stayed in Laureles, I used the La America clinic. In Pobadlo, I use Poblado clinics. If you plan in advance, you can get it done domocilio.

- If you're here or planning to come just be safe. People piss me off trying to shake my hands everywhere I go so I have to keep pushing people away, even some taxi drivers ain't wearing masks. Glad I didn't catch nothing but beware you cannot return if you test positive, so wear your masks, avoid shaking hands, wash your hands frequently, drinks lots of fluid, vitamin see, and lots of pussy. I think the last one is what helped me LOL..

So this begs the question, did you wear a mask while banging your Chicas? LOL.

[Surfer500]

No offense cause I know you mean well. But your info is wayyyy offf my dude. I was at Lleras last night from 9 p till 1:30 a till I went to Face 2.

Most girls don't show till 11 p or later on Thursdays-Saturdays since the clubs close later at 4 am.

Also, it was raining from 8-9 pm when I arrived till I left. On and off really hard. So most girls where inside the clubs especially Lleras club. Every bar / club were full of chicas, lots and lots of dimes. You are right on pricing, and it's so funny inside the club they'll ask 250-300, outside some will start at 150.

This is what I meant in my last post with misleading intel. 10 minutes in the park early, while it was raining which you forgot to mention, is not a true and fair eval.

Yes, it does. But it's a pain in the ass. First, you need to go to the airport early, because you don't want to get stuck waiting for your results and then end up in a line just to get into the airport only to stand in another line to check-in and then go through security check and immigration. Second, the location of the testing is not convenient. It is on the lower level of the airport. Outside. Toward the exit. If you know you are going to use it, instruct your taxi driver to drop you off there. The first time I planned to use it, I had no idea where it was located. I assumed it was in the airport. So I waited in a long line just to get into the airport, only to find that I had to go down a floor, exit the airport, walk to the tent. And then stand in line again to get back into the airport when I was done. Third, the results usually come back in about 30 minutes. The wild card is how long it takes you to get the test itself. You have to register, which can be a pain. The people doing the registration do not speak English, so if you have the typical tourist in front of you who speaks no Spanish, the registration process is very slow. Once registered, you go to the other tent to get the test. Both times that was fast. And then you wait. If you chose to wait for hard copy results, you sit outside on the curb or sidewalk. There is no "waiting areas. ".

Actually I read that Medellin airport has antigen testing that gives results in 40 minutes. Anyone have experience with this first hand?

[MaddTraveler]

I happened to be in the area and took some laps around Parque Lleras as 9 PM on Thursday night. Some of the access to the park is shutdown on one side, but totally open on the Gusto side. Lots of SW's, I counted at least twenty of them out working and some where hidden on the side streets as well. Not much to say about them, pretty average girls, and nothing really stuck out to me, not skanky enough, LOL, nor did I see any that work El Centro as well, and I didn't even bother talking with any of them or finding out how much they wanted. Based on what I saw in the ten minutes I was there, you could easily find just as pretty ones in El Centro at a fraction of whatever they would be asking for in Lleras. But of course you would be out of luck at 9 PM fin El Centro finding much of anything, so for a night time street scene venue, it's about as good as it's going to get, and if guys are pulling girls for as low as 100 K as someone else posted, than at an exchange rate of 3,800 COP or about $ 27 USD that's actually a pretty good deal, and although I don't patronize Lleras, the girls working the place are going to have to be much more polished and aggressive to get clients in Lleras versus El Centro.

What about if they like you or not?

More I make a lady laugh, smile, and make her feel comfortable the better deals I usually seem to strike. Everywhere I have ever traveled. Just saying I think it is the ultimate X factor.

My last trip to Colombia I believe twice I would have been robbed, both times by a gang, once in Cali, once in El Centro, the first by a group of teens, the latter by four of the biggest trannies you ever saw. I'll spare you the details, but by making them laugh and not acting like a stupid ugly American, they deferred to a different mark. If you want to be loved, be loveable.
