Hi guys,

I am planning to go to Cali like first week of April and then hit up Medellin a week after that. I was wondering if there is a Covid / testing place near Granada Barrio, which I think I will be staying, or an in home service testing that can get results within a day or two at most. Thanks.

Here is a chart that shows city by city testing locations, type of test and test costs. As well as turnaround times.

I didn't see a single girl looking like a SW. The ambiance was very relaxed in general and the bars in the area were pretty empty. Not sure if my timing was wrong or the map needs updating. That area seems pretty safe. I would not be surprised if it comes to life after 9 pm or something.

What are the dark Blue Flags for? It usually just says Barrio. All the other stuff is listed and usually has a link to a business website, or social media. The SW sites are documented so it isn't that. There's even a couple of Flags next to the Hotel I'm saying at, not exactly where I am but the next barrio over. What do they mean?

Trip.

Cali is kind of a low key city as far as mongering goes, It may not to as popping or obvious as Centro Meddy or Parque Lleras.

I don't know you're experience with Latin America but women tend to hang out in parks are you'd never know who was who in the daytime until you asked. Monger radar is needed in parks and malls.

I noticed that one spot with the SW tag is right by La Pisadera (sp) mall. I doubt if they're being obvious right near a major mall maybe it means that it's a well known pick up spot in the mall itself.

Trip.

Trip.[/QUOTE]That park (except the bridge Puente Ortiz) was scarcely populated by homeless people and some folks crossing into other areas. It is possible that SWs are there somewhere, but I haven't noticed.

Looking for something nice for a few hours like Thematic suits in Medellin or similar.

A lot of things do not always show up on a Cell Phone. Check it on the desktop or laptop computer.

Sweet Walkers:
Avenida 6th Norte if your real lucky. There was a corner bar that had a few (very Few).

Go South.

Most of the street walkers will be around the Bar La 20's, Carrera 8 or so.

And a few in Parque San Nicolas.

Or to put it another way are there working girls present at every place represented by blue circle? I noticed that is some of the places represent by blue circles are clubs but some like massage parlors and others casas.
