[QUOTE=GeneHickman;2705741]Of all the descriptions I have heard about Centro, medellin, this is a first. "It's cleaner and more inviting" you say? Compared to what? The sewer? Gawd man, Centro is a lot of things but clean and inviting ain't it.
And before you street rats go off on me, I am not knocking the place, I have been a couple of times. Yes, there is the occasional diamond to be found, yes you will in all likeliness be fine, yes its a place you best navigate with a little street smarts and some Spanish skills, and yes there are Hare Krishnas there too 😂, and yes it's mostly just locals going about their regular lives.
For those petrified to even set foot there, just sign up for a benign walking tour with a paisa guide and a posse of 10-15 gringos if you are that afraid.[/QUOTE]Cleaner and more inviting than Santa Fe in Bogotá, which I don't know if you have been lately but if you had, I think you would agree. Especially after the rain with the muddy streets with the potholes. And the corrupt cops with that police greyhound bus LOL.
