Drinking the water isn't isn't necessarily going to do anything to you immediately noticeable. The damage is cumulative and leads to intestinal parasites and colitis. Decide for yourself if the bother of buying purified water is worth it.
[QUOTE=PaisaPorFavor;2138908]There is a heavy police and military presence around right now. I figured it was for soccer game last night but it was worse today. For what it's worth I always drink the tap water and haven't been sick..[/QUOTE]
Right, the gringo hotel gets all its revenue from gringos only, because pimping is illegal. Would that logic apply to New Life and other casas, they collect money only to hand it all over to the girls? I apologize to the gringo hotel owners if I misrepresented their business.
[QUOTE=ElMechanico;2138746]Really? Wouldn't that be pimping? I know that the trade is legal, but I doubt pimping is. What I heard is the girls are required to get their hair done and makeup, etc. , etc. At "The Gringo Hotel" in exchange for hanging out & plying their trade. This may all be BS, but it is what I heard from one of the regulars.

I agree 100% with that. I think the same is true for any business that quotes prices in dollars. Apartment owners, used car salesmen, etc.
[QUOTE=MedellinGringo;2138494]Any chick that is quoting dollars is looking for a bobo. My advice would be to stay away.
Girls in the Clubs like Fase2 only quote dollars to guys that they think don't know what they are doing.[/QUOTE]

.[/QUOTE]I received a Bogota consulate advisement:
Location: Colombia, countrywide.
Event: The National Liberation Army (ELN) terrorist group announced an economic shutdown of the country from 6:00 am On Saturday, February 10,2018 until 6:00 am On Tuesday, February 13,2018. The group has warned civilians not to travel during this period, and have threatened to forcibly close roads, river and sea transportation, and air routes. Colombian authorities will increase military and police presence throughout the country. Historically, the ELN is very active during February due to key anniversaries during this period.
Actions to Take:
Avoid areas with known ELN presence (parts of the departments of Nariño, Cauca, Choco, Arauca and Norte de Santander).
Keep a low profile.
Be aware of your surroundings.
Review your personal security plans.
How cumulative? I've drank the water for months and never had a problem. I would love to read a study on this if you have one. For what it's worth I even use the ice. Hopefully I make it home.

Took a short stroll through Veracruz each of the last 2 days. On day one ran into a girl I've met in a previous trip. Sessioned for 30 mil and 10 k room. She got a little pissed I couldn't remember her name. I thought that was funny. That evening I checked out Barra Ejecutiva with another member. Thanks, it was my first time meeting another member. I didn't see anything I liked at the club but a fun place to hang out. Every few minutes the dancers come collect tips when they get off stage and your liquor if you let them. The second day was just a quick stroll through Veracruz didn't see anything to my liking. I normally have a few beers and wait it out but not much that today. I did see your cutie you posted about before Wolf. Well have a good one fellas. I'll try a more detailed report soon.

But you should probably stay there and get to know some of the women before commenting on how they do business.
At the gringo hotel you deal directly with the chicks on price, services and duration. And you pay the chicas directly.
And you can have any girl you want to stay with you at the hotel whether they know her or not (as long as she has a cedula).
Plenty of guys just order in and use the chicas that show up daily at the hotel as back up in case of a no show.
[QUOTE=Culture;2136151]Has anyone used the service [URL]pasionprepagos.com[/URL]? When I first looked at it, it didn't have as many girls, now I am digging some of these, so wondering who has used it and is it reliable? The prices on the site say $100 a lot of times. That is in USD correct? If you have used it can you let me know if you went to their space or had them come to yours? Do they come to apartments?
Anyways any details would be great because it seems like a good option on a boring day.[/QUOTE]Sure, the website has interesting content. As far as I know they take the time to remove any profile with stolen, fake, or photoshopped pictures.
I will be in Medellin on Monday. I'm interested in visiting the more affordable strip clubs, casa's and red light areas. With regard to strip clubs, which would people recommend?
Where would be the best place to locate myself?
Is there an up-to-date mongering map available? If so, does anyone have a link to it?
I know all this information is contained on the forum but this is a particularly popular forum and it's hard to dig out the info from the volumes of pages of reports. Thanks in advance.
(be aware that I always post trip reports. So I give back in return for the info provided here. I've done that more recently for Panama, before that Dominican Republic, and so on).

While at BarraEjectiva it is usually worth at least peeking in next door at Maracaibo and walking the 3 blocks to Conejitas.
Yeah VeraCruz can be very hit or miss, I'd say I see something I like about 1/3 of the time, but I enjoy strolling through there anyway.
Did you see the semi-blonde Sarah or the ultra-spinner Luisa? (girl on the left in this photo).

See hotel thread for suggestions.
All the casas out there in el Centro, and strip clubs are about the same price, cheap.
Just a matter of finding your type of girl.
Start at New Life, probably the most girls in the lineup.
See the Medellin Lists thread for locations.
PS ... Mondays are a bit slow at the strip clubs, but you’ll probably find something.
Gets better as the week goes on.
Enjoy.

If you're into fake looks / tits go to Islas. I regret not having spent more nights at FD, and the vibe there is great too.

Some guys may like it though.
Face Dos, though more expensive than the el Central clubs, is way more chill IMO, than Isla.

Cheaper Strip Club-wise my fav 3 in Centro are Conejitas (Playmates) at Calle 53 #51-41 and about 3 blocks away Barra Ejectiva at Calle 53 #48-20 and right next door, not as busy but worth looking in sometimes Maracaibo at Calle 53 #49-30. I have a downtown map I made for my own use I can email you if you PM me a email address. It has most the Centro strip club / Casa's and Redlight Blocks marked on it. I stay at the hotel Botero due to it's location right between those 3 strip clubs and right across from Casa Yakuza which is open till from 10 ish AM to like 3 to 4 AM-ish. They allow takeout no extra fee to the Botero for 45 k a 1/2 HR. Not always cuties there but sometimes. It's behind a mirrored door just left of Hotel Deseos.
It's "Botero Medellin" on [URL]Hotels.com[/URL], $26 a night, book a room for 2, 15 stories, bar with great view and steam room / saunas on roof, mini-fridge in room (if not, ask for one) walk in shower, hot water, 42" flat-screen. (Botero should start giving me a commission. LOL) Ask for a floor on the highest floor available for view and noise reduction, west side building better.
The airport buses end up on that block which is convenient.
Casa wise I would start at New Life and work my way down the list.

Kinda adds up. I do like the place though as they usually have no fatties and nobody I'd really say no to and 10+ girls I consider 9's or 10's. (on a Friday night past 11).
