Medellin Reports

[Surfer500]

If you take the Metro, you can then take the Metro bus (the green one) up Calle 10 to Provenza or anyplace in between. It also goes further than Provenza, but I haven't checked the route. I think if you use the Metro card for the bus immediately after using the Metro train, the bus is free.

The Metro card which is called a Civica only entitles you to ride the bus lines directly connected to the Metro Stations and not the City buses. Entrance to the Metro connected bus stations such as at the Industriales station have a turn-style entrance that reads the Civica card. If you ride the Metro and then the bus or vice versa it's included at no additional charge.

For those wanting to travel from Centro to Poblado, and avoid using the Metro, along with huffing and puffing up Calle 10, there is a bus within a block of Hotel Nutibarra that goes to Parque Poblado a few blocks down the hill from Parque Llears. I've taken it at times when the Metro is shut down and it goes along Avenida Oriental which turns into Avenue Poblado when it leaves Centro.

As for the Moovit app, I have found it to be of limited value. It will show the route between two points, but it's bus schedule is very unreliable. I have waited 30 minutes for a bus that is shows runs every 10 minutes.

There's a bus schedule? I honestly thought it was more of a free for all. I've seen 3 busses from the same company, on the same route, racing each other to the next stop, even when 1 bus was completely full and the others were practically empty.

The Metro is great. But don't be afraid to also try the buses. It's a long walk down from the Parque Lleras / Parque Poblado area to the Poblado Metro station (LOL, and an even longer walk back up). Sure it can be done in 10-15 minutes or so (or you can wait for a bus or take a taxi back up the hill) but there's a much easier and direct way to get to El Centro.

Buses pickup at a stop just a few meters north of Parque Poblado on Cra 43a (that's the main drag by the park). The bus to look for is #135 (if you forget the #, there are maps at that bus stop showing the routes). It comes by every few minutes and takes <20 minutes to get to El Centro and the fare is just 2550 COP (vs 12-14k COP for a taxi which isn't much faster, or adventurous). It's a straight shot with few stops (or at least none very long) but it makes a little loop near San Antonio and can get caught up in traffic before getting to Berrios so I usually just get off at San Antonio and walk the last few blocks.

Coming back from El Centro is a lot more confusing (unless you have the Moovit app on your phone), so you might prefer to just take the Metro (and the walk back up the hill, ugh) but I never shy away from a challenge. You might need to ask nearby bystanders exactly which bus stop you need (and, LOL, get a dozen different incorrect answers). Beyond that basically your choice is to look for that #135 bus (#130 or #130a also work) where you got off at Parque Berrios (but a lot of other buses also stop there possibly making that option too confusing) or, what I prefer, walk 2 blocks east to the main drag (Cra 43a) and catch any of those buses where they're heading in the right direction (south).

As you can tell, I like to provide complete detail (hence my handle) and probably make this sound more confusing than it's worth, but it's really not all that hard and I feel it's always better to have too much info than too little. Taking local buses is not about saving money (though there's that too). They're about experiencing a place like a native, thus adding to the adventure.

When I was living at the south end of Poblado, I often took the bus to Parque Poblado, or any spot in between. Several times I took the bus to El Centro. There are also the L1 and L2 bus lines which connect with the Metro at Industriales, convenient for going to Belen, and the Migracion office.

One nice thing about the busses, they'll stop anywhere to pick you up, if you flag them down and they'll stop anywhere to let you off. They're also a good option to get rid of all the coins you end up with.

I haven't really seen this talked about, but what attire do you guys usually use for going out (e. G, to the club, restaurants, etc)?

I'm packing slightly more formally than I do on other (non-monger) trips where I frequently traveled in gym clothing.

'Appreciate it.

The metro is the safest cleanest place in the city.

Good job, mate. Nice jugs and fresh milk.

I fell sorry for the little baby, he missed his afternoon feeding because his Mommy was sucked dry. LOL.

There is some kind of energy at Ground Zero I have never felt before, anywhere else in the world. Maybe because sex workers have been plying their trade there for generations, hundreds of years, at the Church at Ground Zero, there is some kind of mystical karma magic in the air, I don't know what it is but I feel it. .

Well for some, it might sound like your on something, and in a daze, but all kidding aside, I enjoyed Centro much more several years ago before the arrival of the Venezuelans or the hordes of mongers that have shown up on it's shores.

I remember when a gringo sighting was a rarity, and a total novelty to the girls, but nowadays a totally different landscape.

And don't get me wrong, I still ply the streets, and have good and new experiences, but it's just not the same as before.

I wouldn't go as far as you, but I agree w your sentiements. The people are down to earth, humble, simple (in the nice meaning of the word), and fun loving. Its like thailand actually, for me at least.

At night it does turn in to scene from zombie apocalypse though.

[FrankBills007]

I'm sometimes guilty of failing to report back on my experiences after getting so much valuable info from the research of those who have gone before me. I don't have much new to add but here are a few corrections and additions that someone might want to make to the Medelland Monger Map & Chica List:

1) IDK if I just heard wrong but the rate I was quoted for a 30 minute session at the Jade Spa MP in Poblado was an absurd 160 k COP (WTF! Needless to say, I didn't take them up on it.

2) Went by Zandaly MP on Sunday afternoon (before 4 pm) and found it closed, but it was reopened the following morning, so hours need to be corrected on the list.

3) I found a small MP that isn't on the map or list around the corner from Zandaly on Cra 57 a. Sorry, I don't have the exact address (#46-35 I think) but the entrance is directly in front of a concrete bench. I also didn't get the rates and hours (I know, I know, lousy scouting). But it had 3 chicas on a Sunday (2 decent, 1 ugly) with a hotter one arriving just as we were leaving. I didn't partake but my buddy did and he described it as the best fuck of his life (but maybe he doesn't get around enough).

4) Also stopped at New Life and had a pretty decent session though definitely not the best of my life. Like a previous poster reported, I also got the request for a 50 k tip for BBBJ (WTF?) on top of the 55 k fee for CBJ & CFS, which I paid bcuz a) it was my 1st fuck in Medellin after landing and I was horny b) $30 still seemed like a bargain from my recently arrived perspective and c) I was caught off-guard because I hadn't seen that previous post and didn't know any better.

Great post! Would love to meet up when I am there and just follow you around hahahahha. I'll buy the drinks.

I have tons of points I can use. Is Marriott girl friendly? Are they okay bringing in girls?

Marriott in Bogota and Cartagena are girl friendly but the one in Medellin is not.

[Osteoknot]

This might be true for many, but I am having great luck with overnights, unlimited pops, bareback, and cip with a chill girl that I trust. This is in Bogota though. I have also met a good platonic friend that's wants 0 from me and we hangout. Also some good no clock watching more occasional encounters. I don't like the instagram model types and prefer girl next door spinners that speak english and provide GFE. I am not that handsome, average build, and late 30's. I speak no Spanish. Cost 200 k for 3 ish hours to 600 k for 24 hours. Or 0. I have 5 or 6 that I have had to slow roll.

I agree if you are there for a short stay it might not be worth it, but if it were 2+ weeks and you like the type of situation I do, it could be worth it. Yes I spend more than a quick 20 minute stay, but minute for minute or pop for pop I think my cost averages down. Of course there is no right or wrong and everyone is looking for something different.

Channeling Star Wars, jeje, hope you don't mind.

This is the move, I love el centro.

There is some kind of energy at Ground Zero I have never felt before, anywhere else in the world. Obviously that's a personal interpretation that is virtually meaningless unless someone else feels it, too. Sure, it can be gritty and even dangerous, but I find the place to be clean and I meet people there, obviously meaning the chicas, who are filled with joy. Probably for newbies I would say daylight hours only but with street smarts El Centro is navigable 24/7.

Maybe because sex workers have been plying their trade there for generations, hundreds of years, at the Church at Ground Zero, there is some kind of mystical karma magic in the air, I don't know what it is but I feel it. I met a new chica there today, the great ones always seem to end up Vennies, I can't help it. Honest, intelligent, warm, she looked like a prom queen from high school and we will be looking for each other again. And then fuck, who should I run into yet again on my walk back to my hotel but Sugar Baby with her sister who I fucked earlier that morning. She practically dragged me by my ear back to my room at The Nutti. Fotos are verbotten by her, but I overheard two young buffed Colombian studs comment, "Omigod" when she walked past them on our way back to my room. I thought I would be seeing her maybe two times a month and we have sessioned 3 out of the past 4 days. She also informed me that she would be arriving back at my hotel tomorrow with a friend who I supposedly fucked before but when she put her on the video call I did not recognize but I definitely would fuck her. After a slow start, this turned out to be another great day in Medellin.
