After party spot: El Faisan.
Daytime Massage: Loutron.
Take Uber everywhere. Rappi for food. Ibiza for a love motel.
For a weekend warrior this is how its done if you don't want to go the facebook or tinder route.

Posts: 1290Trip Report. Week of Nov 12
I'm completing trip number 20 to Medellin. While there are many on the board with more time on the ground, I feel comfortable to say I have knowledge of the lay of the land and a feel for trends. I'm not one for a blow by blow review. Rather, I'll just call out a few things people might find helpful.
I stayed at Hotel Dix. First time staying there. The accomodations are fair. It's clean. Convenient location if you hit up Lleras. It is very noisy. I'm not a particularly light sleeper but it was far from the most restful sleep I ever had. It is girl friendly. They have a security guard and a doorman. With so much focus on security lately, I was pleased with everyone I interacted with at Hotel Dix. I'd consider staying there again.
Overall feel: This is just my perception but there is a more on edge feel in MDE. I could be more influenced by the endless stream of bad news lately. But just an on the ground feel. It is different than even a few months ago. A friend that I will hang out with sometimes was pickpocketed in Lleras by a non-working girl. Took his phone. He didn't feel it, so she was good at her craft. He's really street smart. He reached for his phone, felt it wasn't there, looked up and saw the chica running. Though ill-advised, he chased her down and did retrieve it. The other difference is that the prices being asked are much higher. This has been widely reported on. I didn't pay more than 300 k for any girl. But there were some crazy asking prices. It really left me feeling very jaded. But then, you meet a true paisa that accepts the normal prices and MDE is back to being my favorite playground.
I rarely make recommendations but I'll offer up Geraldine at the Mansion. Really hot girl, in my opinion. All things considered, I'd rate her 8. 5 in looks. Granted, I had my beer goggles on but feel pretty confident in that score. Great personality. Amazing, amazing body. The BBBJ was unbelievable. I really can't find a bad word to say about her. No haggling. I would highly recommend.
The Mansion gets alot of bad press here. And I don't really stay at the hotel anymore. But that bar can be a great spot. The girls will try to milk you dry with drinks. But, if you tell one or two no, the chica network quickly relays that message. LOL But a great place to hang out with some good dudes. There are a couple annyoing regulars that seem to think they run the place. They are easily ignored and interesting conversation topics with the chicas. But last night, I counted about 5 girls that were near or above 8's. Probably 10 girls I would do. If you are less transactional, it's a great location to get to know the chica before pulling the trigger. Not a fan of the 50 k entrance fee. But overall, it's cost efficient. I went there with 600 k laat night. Had a blast. Hung out for a few hours. Had several drinks. Offered the standard mansion rate to the chica of my choice. Was a good night.
Gustos is usually fun to me. I was not impressed this trip. There are alot of sharks there. Obviously, someone is paying these prices. There are still some reasonable and nice girls there. But they are becoming a small minority. It was actually a fun place to people watch. You see some of these guys walk in. In 2 seconds, you can see what they are. It's actually funny to watch. The weekend warrior high rollers. The funny part is the sharks smell the blood in the water. I don't begrudge anyone with what they want to spend. But I'm amused by their actions.
Lleras: apart froym my amigo getting pickpocketed, I did pull 2 girls from Lleras and lived to tell about it. Both 250 k for whatever I wanted. Good experiences. And some decent looking girls available. But don't go before 10 pm.
Massage places: I love my massages. Still my favorite: Nuru massage at Happy Massage. I'd recommend Sofia or Lorena. FS not available but if you are into sensual massages, I haven't found one better, but you will shell out big dollars. Tried Aetnea Spa. Drew Andrea. Not a bad experience but I wouldn't return for her.

Judging by so many videos out there, many criminals don't seem to care about being caught on camera. There is a video showing a man gunned down on camera in front of a crowded club on Calle 10 last week.

I am alone. There is not door man. There are a lot of cameras.
Thank you for your advice. Maybe I'll make a foray into Gustos and see what happens.
What bothers me is that I've visited a lot places over these many decades and I have a creepy feeling that a certain percentage of Colombians. Maybe it's 5% or 10%, look at me as prey and they are predators. Maybe I'm being paranoid. However I don't like this feeling. Perhaps: Next year in Cebu? An average Colombian girl would be a really hot girl in the Philippines. And a hot Colombian girl does not exist in the Philippines. Which is why I am in Colombia. (Of course beauty is very subjective; just my personal taste.) However I don't feel too safe around here in El Poblado.

Posts: 56Other clubs around parque lleras?
So I was just curious. Since I've been back I wandered around parque lleras quite a few times. Literally all the clubs around the area were empty besides gustos and black diamond maybe.
Has any one been to any other club besides gustos?
I stood outside in front of black diamond and it didn't have good talent walking outside.

I like the silicone girls and girls done up for all night so if I were in your shoes striking out then I would hit up gustos. I would hit it up then get a BUNCH of numbers. All the numbers of all the girls who you think is pretty. Then you can whatsapp message them and negotiate through what's app.
I would also go to loutron and get their numbers too. I believe some of the also do outcalls as well.
You could get street girl numbers but with all the news and everything I would probably be more hesitant especially if you're by yourself. But if you have security and door man then I would feel more comfortable. Always take a photo of their ID too if the building doesn't already do that.

The gusto girls imo isn't too bad at $250 all night with 2 pops guaranteed. My friend got $300 for 3 pops till 5 am so he got the best deal.
Again I was about to get 300 k -400 k cop girls from paisonprepago or mili but the security guard advised against it. Said its more dangerous. I also had a bad experience with photoprepago in cartagena where the girl looked nothing like the pic.
But to do it all over again I would still go back to gustos, knowing they have to submit blood work to the club also gives me more peace of mind too.

Sounds like a poster who has an axe to grind. Getting a bit old.
I think Medellin is safer than a lot of other destinations like the Dom Rep, Philippines or Thailand. Can't comment on Mexico as I've never been. Willing to bet that far more westerners are killed in Angeles City (Philippines) than in Colombia in total. Colombianos will try to direct you away from dangerous areas in my experience and Parque Lleras is fairly safe to walk around, even drunk as it's well lit and loads of cops about (especially now as they set up checkpoints on all the entrances to the Parque).
Usually when you read into a foreigner being killed in somewhere like Medellin (or Angeles, Pattaya, Cancun, Sosua, et al.) its usually because the foreigner ended up doing something stupid, like in the post you quoted. Guy was shot resisting a mugging, I'm a self defence practitioner (Krav Maga) and the best course of action in a robbery is to give them what they want. No phone, no matter how shiny or wallet no matter how full is worth getting shot or stabbed over. I'm no fan of muggings but if you get to the point where there is a physical confrontation it's already too late to start defending yourself and you fucked up, prevention is much better than cure on this one, I'd wager that the people who mugged this guy were following him for a while.
By and large Medellin is pretty safe, unless you're an idiot. Just take basic self preservation measures like not getting into fights with locals, don't get involved in the local drugs trade, don't walk down dark alleys, not accepting candy from strangers, so on and so forth.

Also willing to bet the bitxc he was with was in cahoots with the crooks. Where did he meet her from fucking tinder or bumble or what??
Look here guys, if you don't want to end up like that guy then leave the IPhone 16 Max Pro Plus or whatever the fuck it is AT HOME and use a cheap redmi burner phone when you get here. And if a dude pulls a gun on you just give him the fucking phone, it's not worth your life.
And also stop meeting bitcxes on tinder and taking them out to wine and dine. Your poblado boys got the game fucked up. Your suppose to just take them to a short time hotel and fuck them, it's not rocket science. You start trying to be Mr Romantic and you end up dead.
