Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=ElPostino;2628194]If you try multiple booking sites, you will better chances. I think you tried [URL]booking.com[/URL]. Tried that site, it showed none available in Nutibera when I stayed there last week. Next minute, I was able to book right away with lower price even. It's weird both agoda and [URL]booking.com[/URL] are owned priceline, still there is discrepancy in their inventory.[/QUOTE]I tried [URL]hotel.com[/URL] and [URL]expedia.com[/URL] - they both list nutibata for $32 but say hotel is not available on any date during 1st December to 20 December.

Agoda lists nutibara for $22, but when you select the days in December, it asks for $87/ day. I stayed at Nutibara for 2 weeks in November for less than $30, and now it wants 3 times the money. I sent whatsapp message directly to Nutubara to book the hotel but they have not responded to my request in last 24 hours.

I am looking at these hotels but not sure if they are chica friendly. Can somebody confirm that they are chica friendly?

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2628106]2 things to be aware of.

1. Close to the Metro station might be misleading. From the Poblado station there's a rather steep hill to climb.

2. The Poblado station gets very busy, so you will want to plan accordingly.[/QUOTE]Near to me is walking distance. My Airbnb is just west of CR43 A near CL10. No matter how I slice it, I'm going to be walking up and down hills unless I cab it. Medellin is new to me but I tend to get by wherever I go.

Always appreciate advice and feedback.

[QUOTE=JustTK;2628292]Have mentioned it several times here now. Just go to Mercado de la Playa. Open air dining and drinking mall with about 20-30 restaurnats and bars, 10 minutes walk from Nutibara. Open til late. 5 k in taxi.[/QUOTE]The minimum cab fare these days is $5,600.

I am traveling in 2 weeks and looking for Chica friendly as well.

I've stayed at the Nutibara for many years pre covid (short time) and I've never ever seen it anywhere near full, rooms have always been readily available.

[QUOTE=OldSchool318;2627977]Was thinking for my next journey out it may be MDe. Thinking of bringing a lite suitcase and shopping there to blend in and just for style.

Anywhere recommended best to make a cheap but hip fashion statement?

Also is there a good sex shop to buy vibrators and such? LOL.[/QUOTE]The Super Fashion Center in Mayorista is an excellent place to buy denim straight from the factories. Bargaining is acceptable.

The malls are also very good for higher-end fashion but at extremely good prices. Always load up on denim while visiting Medellin.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2628276]The declining Peso means nothing and doesn't register for most girls in Colombia, except the ones who quote, and get paid in USD which are very few.

Inflation is more an issue, and typically everything goes up the first of the year in Colombia like clockwork like taxi fares, and other things. Because all businesses only accept Colombian Pesos, the declining peso doesn't factor into their pricing, but other things do. What's interesting is that I remember when the exchange rate was 1,800 CP to the USD, so in reality a lot of things have not gone up in the last ten years due to the strong USD, and in fact, some things are actually cheaper than ten years ago. So a girl going for 20,000 COP ten years ago, who now goes for 30,000 COP actually costs less now than ten years ago.

Just my observation, and I'm not an economist.[/QUOTE]Hey guys I've lost track of the conversations here weeks ago as been too busy playing the game than to read & write. But just took a quick glance this morning. Here's the new 2022 taxi fares:

Taxi tarifs go up in 2022, starts from 3. 800 pesos, minimum fare 5. 800 pesos, hourly 25.500 pesos and airport 90.000 pesos including the tolls.

Loving the exchange rate here and trying to help out as many chicas as I'm physically able haha.

[QUOTE=JustIncognito;2627515]5-6 years ago this girl came to my hotel. 15 seconds of blowing me then complaining she is tired. I was like-dude-you just started gets to sucking. She was all attitude and not into it. Then she stops grabs a condom and says its time to fuck her. She was a boring lay. Boring person. I managed to nut in the bag after a while-we got shower-I get out of the shower: blood drops on the bed--and she says her period must just be starting.

I was grossed out and livid. She could tell. I kicked her out. Luckily housekeeping was in the hallways, so I pulled the sheets, grabbed 20,000 kcop and asked the housekeeper to put new sheets on the bed and swap my towels. Which she did.

Under no circumstances should anyone ever see this girl. She was a truly horrible fuck-the epitome of dead fish just laying there, and a truly lazy cocksucker-10 seconds of dick sucking. Wtf? Do your job lady! She was a boring person to attempt to talk to, way too obsessed with selfies and her phone. And this was 5-6 years ago. How she is still in this game--just with more tattoos now-is astonishing. Talk about getting by with a nice pair of fake tits! Sheesh![/QUOTE]Thanks to both of you for this warning!

Cheers.

The new taxi rates make didi / uber / indriver yet more attractive options. Even if the rates were the same or if the ride share apps cost a bit more I would still avoid taxis because most of the taxis are small and uncomfortable compared to the cheapest class of ride share cars. I am also fed up with stubborn taxistas who don't pay attention to waze traffic alerts and drive into traffic jams because they prefer routes that are familiar to them. I occasionally use Coopebombas. The credit card acceptance rate is somewhere around 50%, whether or not you set your profile to credit card only. If you are short on time taxis can be the only option, especially during rush hour. I do my best to give myself extra time so I don't have to resort to taxis.

Just my observation, and I'm not an economist.[/QUOTE]This right here is why prices inflate. Stupid gringos not understanding that legal tender in Colombia is pesos and the economy works in pesos, most of their GDP I. E. Exchange of goods and services is in pesos. Only imports are affected and inflation adjusts for that. It's also why certain locally produced goods like fruits are insanely cheap, and imported goods which navigate weak currency, tariffs and large mark ups e. G. IPhones are insanely expensive.

[QUOTE=Combo;2628693]And I think the chicas would be considered "locally produced. ".[/QUOTE]Apart from the Venezuelans, and since they now allow USD as tender in Venezuela, perhaps that's why the prices are going up! Hehe.

[QUOTE=Combo;2628693]And I think the chicas would be considered "locally produced. ".[/QUOTE]Actually, if you consider that lots of the Chicas are Venezuelans, technically speaking, they would be considered "outsourced" versus "locally produced", kind of like imported meat! LOL.

A lot of punters, and also civilians used to stay at that big hotel across the street from Yakuza. I think the Nutibara probably has some of that business now.

Unfortunately medellin has been gringo-fied, at least in most of the casa girls and most of the main centro sw ime.
