Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=FlawlessZeal;3032655]Is it necessary to always contact the Airbnb host about their guest policy before booking? Trying to book something last minute so would prefer to avoid contacting all the hosts and waiting for responses. Plus is it not sometimes an "ask for forgiveness not permission" situation when it comes to inviting 2-3 guests in a day and drawing attention?[/QUOTE]In the Airbnb listings, "guests" refers to the renters (guests of the host). People who visit the apartment are referred to as "visitors". There are two areas in the listing to pay attention to. First is the description on the first page of the listing. Second is under "Things to know", "House rules" at the bottom of the listing. That's the only two places I've seen any restrictions listed. If neither of those places say anything about visitors, chances are very good that visitors are allowed without a problem. When you request to rent, you must agree to a statement from Airbnb which basically says they discourage sex tourism, but it doesn't say it is prohibited.

COPA airlines had the right price and the right landing time but could not purchase ticket on their website. Then I remembered I had the same problem once years ago and went to one of their office locations located nearby. I learned you can easily buy a COPA ticket using Expedia.

I was sleeping when they delivered a small dinner during the flight. Nobody tried to wake me. I asked the stewardess when she was picking up the after dinner trays and she said yes but it never happened. On the way off the plane being one of the last off I said "I missed dinner" as I passed by her and she did not look up from staring at her phone. Fcuk COPA Airlines! I was shocked when I walked around the Panama City Airport and a simple hotdog with packets of relish, mustard, and ketchup cost $7.

I landed and immigration stopped me (my fault). I had been to Colombia 5 times with no problems. But I overstayed 1 week on visit 6 and fined around $150. Then on my 7th visit I overstayed 2 weeks and they walked $320 but I did not pay and signed paper acknowledging so and informed this would accrue interest if I returned. I did not think I would return but changed my mind around 2 years later. The fine jumped to $640. Paid and no problem.

The 17,000 peso bus to town runs 24 hours and so easy. Love it.

Stayed at Hotel Soberano around the corner for 50,000 p. Stayed there years before and the room I had was pretty decent. Not this time. Cockroaches everywhere. I stayed there because I was afraid to walk across Botero Park with all my stuff at 9 pm. I saw a girl I did in the past who was staying at the same hotel and we exchanged info. Took shower and went to her room seeing if she wanted to come visit me and she said later. Two days later and no messages.

I checked the price at Hotel Mandala which has rather small dark rooms clean for 92,000 p. They have a breakfast using the resto next door and they have a foosball table in the office area.

I chose to stay at the Big Balcony Hotel near the church. They have had several owners with several names but everyone knows the one. Hotel Mandala had just boughten it 2 years ago and added free coffee and tea. Then they added a cereal breakfast with prices keep going up. I think it was 90,000 p at the time. I return and see I know the receptionist from the hotel nearest the church and the next day see another receptionist from the same hotel so I feel safer thinking less chance of any room theft. Next day I see the owner and he sees me. He remembered me and bumped fists. It took me a minute to remember him. He and his buddies own the hotel nearest the church (they kicked me out when they changed it to a 100% ST hotel), the Big Balcony hotel, and the hotel as you walk down the side of the church to the casino at the corner and turn left and it is the very first hotel. That hotel is a dark mini maze. You know if you have been there.

Hotel Big Balcony is better now for 70,000 p and my room has a refrigerator. FYI if you have a room with no ref and one is available they will move one to your room. They do not turn on the big outside front lights at the top of the building so it is actually dark at night on the top front facing floor. They fixed my window hinge and electrical plug in (grounding hole plugged) that day I mentioned it. I did not want them to think I broke the window hinge. Loud music stopped at 10:00 pm and then 10:30 pm the next night so I expect even later during the weekend. I have stayed 5 weeks in the past but only 2 days this trip and yet to see a cockroach.

Less than 24 hours here and already seen some guy pissing on a tree, one guy blowing snot from his nose, 2 people picking their nose, endless amounts of homeless druggies. I nearly died from the stench from the 3 porta potties under the metro near Hotel Nutribara. Horrible! The place is a complete circus.

First day and took a repeat from 2 years back. No condom. Came on her back. She asked for 90,000 p and I gave it. She has always been a super sweet girl to me even though the price seemed a little high since we have been together 7 times now.

Second day saw a woman at 5:30 am looking for a customer. 2 hours later and 3 hours after that still at the same location waiting. I tried a new girl. Very pretty. Wanted 60,000 p. At the halfway mark of condomless sex she says cuatro (4). 60+40= 100,000 p. Ok. I finish on her back and clean the mess with a paper towel. Less than thrilled when she washed up her snatch using my sink. I give her 100,000 and she says 300,000 ($77). We have a low level argument and I tell her policia we passed on the main floor. I give her a soda and a hug. All is well once she learned I was not a newbie.

Scotia / Colpatria Bank only let me take out 900,000 p. Used it 2 years ago with the same cards and received 1,500,000 p.

Street scene not as good as 2 years prior. It is early but I see less diamonds in the rough (possibly the cold and rain). The policia always checking the girl's IDs even when of age. I assume this has ran some of the girls away. Police everywhere. Both days had police stay in the hallways of my hotel from 2 pm - 8 pm.

My rose tinted glasses are fogged up. I think my possible 6 month stay will be shortened to 5-6 weeks.

I think this is the intended purpose of the investigation program.

[QUOTE=KrisMonger;3032607]Not going back to MDE again. Was there a week ago, got pulled out and let's just say the search was super intrusive. I was in the clear but not a pleasant experience and I will just say I will take my dollars to places that are more visitor friendly.[/QUOTE]

I can remember being asked the what is the purpose of your visit question and the follow up question of what sort of attractions do you plan to visit as long ago as 2008.

[QUOTE=Mexidan;3032521]Yes, it is all over Colombian news that Colombian Immigration is looking for people engaged in sexual tourism and trafficking.

In this article, it highlights an 80 year old American (with no criminal history or negative information in various systems) was denied entry after his luggage was searched and he was interviewed but did not give information about his tourism plans. The article states: It turns out that this foreigner brought in his suitcase a whole arsenal of toys and sexual articles, from condoms, lubricants and gels, to whips, handcuffs, dildos and vibrators. "During the immigration interview, the foreigner did not provide clear answers about the purpose of his visit. After a baggage inspection, with the support of the Police, elements were found that allowed to determine that he intended to enter for the purpose of sexual exploitation," they added from the Migration social networks..[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;3032713]I think I speak for many of us hear, could you elaborate on what exactly they searched and how this process works? Would really help out us who plan to travel to Colombia once this shit blows over. Not going to lie, Parque Lleras is a hell of a time and not many places like it outside Colombia.[/QUOTE]I was randomly (or not randomly, who the fuck knows?) pulled out of the immigration line with 2 dudes from Brazil and was escorted to the back room. The searched my carry on, then asked me to retrieve my checked bag (I was escorted to the carousel and back to the room), then they asked me to unlock my phone and a few agents went over all of my photos, including hidden folder, WhatsApp messages, social media, etc. Went through my checked bag. After about an hour I was escorted back to the immigration line, straight to the kiosk, gave my passport to the lady at the kiosk, she stamped it and let me in. Also, while in the back room I was asked multiple questions about what I do for living, my purpose of visit, place of stay, etc etc. Obviously they didn't find what they were looking for. I didn't have any lingerie or sex toys in my luggage. Maybe a couple of condoms. I heard them commenting on the photos they found in my hidden folder. I guess they were looking for pics of underage girls which I didn't have because I don't mess with kids. I haven't been to Colombia for over a year now, I want to come back but I don't want to deal with this BS again, and who knows maybe I have something on my record now, like a red flag.

Concerning Immigration at MDE, my next trip, I will enter Colombia via Bogotá, not because of possible searches at MDE, but because MDE Immigration has multi-hour lines. Last time I went, there was only one person working Immigration at MDE.

They asked if I had Viagra, condoms etc and painstakingly went through all the Whatsapp groups etc. May be this is just pay back to whatever shit we are doing (as in US). Couple of suggestions. Don't fly directly from US. Coming from Panama may be better and don't have your US passport hanging out in the open. Last. Just clean your phone / use burner and reset as you go inside. Needless to say. Unpleasant shit that I don't want to deal with ever.

[QUOTE=ChicoBonito;2998439]Great input, thank you!

I am meeting up with one girl from Tinder tonight, waiting for her to arrive at my hotel (Hotel Ofix) in Laureles. Will write up how it goes.[/QUOTE]Okay, so here's a looonnnng overdue report on this meetup:

I matched with this chica on Tinder a few weeks before my trip to Medellin. We chatted for a bit on there, and she was pretty forward about being P4 P (which isn't always the case.) I saved her whatsapp for the future, and then contacted her after I checked into my hotel. She was in her mid-20's, from Medellin, and available that night to come over whenever I wanted her. She quoted me 240 k for 2 hours, which I thought was a really great value considering what I had read on here about Medellin prices. I agreed and sent her the hotel address, and she arrived about an hour later, I met her outside as she was getting out of the taxi.

She was chubbier than she looked on her Tinder photos, but at least she was the same chica in the photos and attractive enough to me. She seemed a bit nervous or shy when we got up to my room, so I sat with her on the bed and we talked a bit. She asked if I had any alcohol to drink or weed to smoke, but I just had water and coca-cola. I also had made it a point to myself to not have drinks with a pro I didn't know well, for safety reasons, after all the bad stories about getting scoped that I've read on here.

After a few minutes she warmed up and we started kissing and undressing and getting down to it. She let me suck on her big tits, gave me BBBJ, and then sex. After I cummed, we lay there and talked for a few more minutes. Then she got up and started getting dressed.

I asked her where she was going, since I had paid for 2 hours with her and wanted to go again when I was ready. This was just over half an hour since she arrived. She told me that I had already finished, and that this was just for "1 polvo" - if I wanted more, I'd have to pay her extra.

This was my mistake, not asking her about the number of "polvos" or "relajaciones" included when we were setting up the meet. I have just become so accustomed to the chicas I've been with in Bogota and Cartagena usually being down for 2 or unlimited pops during the time we have together, that I just didn't think to ask about this. Lesson learned.

She said if I had something to drink or smoke she could chill for a while, but since there was nothing, she was just going to go. I was pissed, but there was nothing I could do about it, so I paid her. She also asked for extra for taxi fare, which wasn't something we had agreed to before. I refused but she kept insisting, and I didn't want to keep arguing with her in my room, so I gave her money for the taxi and then sent her on her way and deleted her number.

The sex wasn't bad, she was cute and curvy, but her attitude in person was colder than what I look for, and I felt like I got scammed on the money.

She was one of many chicas I talked to on Tinder before and during my few days in Medellin. I matched with a lot of chicas on there, significantly more than in Bogota, so Tinder seems to be very active in this city. About half the chicas on there seem to be pros, and the other half non-pros (compared to maybe 1 out of 5 being pros on Tinder in Bogota.) There were many non-pros I matched with who were beautiful and who I had good rapport with during our chats and who I'd love to date. But that requires a lot of time to put in to get laid, and I only had a few days for this trip, so I decided to only meet up with pros in order to make the sex quick and easy to obtain.

I got their quotes on Whatsapp, most of them quoting 400 k or more, some a little less, with various degrees of service offered (including some fine with multiple pops, and others trying to get me into threesomes with one of their friends). Some of the chicas, if I didn't reply to them after they quoted me prices, would message me again telling me they'd give me a discount if I was free right then. One chica, absolutely stunning, was offering toda-la-noche for $200 US. Didn't sound like a bad deal for a high-class escort type experience of dinner and dancing and sex all night until morning, or whatever combination of that I wanted. I didn't end up seeing her, but maybe I'll hit her up if I'm ever back in Medellin.

To sum up, my experience is that there are tons of attractive women in Medellin available on Tinder, but it can be VERY time-consuming. A lot of these chicas won't reply for days or more between messages. And it can take quite a bit of back and forth with these messages to set up a meet, especially if you're looking for non-pros or aren't sure if the chica is a pro or not. This was similar to my experiences in Brazil and Peru as well, with women being very slow to respond on Tinder and time-consuming to set up actual meets. I'm having a much better experience with this right now for my upcoming trip to the Dominican Republic, though, since I seem to be in high demand with the chicas there, both in terms of volume and the speed of their replies. So I guess Tinder (and DominicanCupid and ColombianCupid) activity varies between different countries / cities. But in Medellin, if you're someone looking to be more efficient with your time and put in less effort, then street-walkers in Parque Lleras and El Centro, or casas / strip-club chicas, are probably a better bet for you.

Like I said before, I only had a short time in Medellin for this trip, so this first disappointing experience didn't encourage me to immediately set up other meets off Tinder (although I might try again if I go back.) So instead, the next day I tried out El Centro, and ended up having an awesome time with a Venezuelan street-walker at one of the motels down there. So good, that I had her come over to my hotel the following day so we could have another go at each other. I'll post a report about that experience too (eventually.).

Anyway, I hope you guys find at least some of this info useful. I still feel kind of new at this, even though I started mongering almost 2 years ago (after my divorce). Feels like I keep making rookie mistakes, but still having a great time getting laid with sexy and sometimes fun and affectionate pros, in between the great dating experiences I've been having with non-pros. Stay safe out there and have fun!

That really sucks. Going through hidden images folder on iphone is insane.

Just to avoid selection bias, I'll add that I flew in yesterday with zero problems, guy didn't even ask me the purpose of my trip or where I was staying, just glanced at the check-mig, stamped, and waved me through. Line was about 1 hr20 min. Packed condoms and viagra, but left the dildos and VS panties at home.

[/QUOTE]Chances are very high the $200 toda la noche girl would have bolted after an hour or so. Nothing stopping her from doing so.

It's almost better to do short time for an initial encounter. If you are really into it, you can usually extend the session.

Also if you insist on booking on all-nighter, it's better to say "amanecida. ".

If they are truly non-working girls why would want that type of experience. Anyone who says that want an amount of money for an hour probably is worth seeing.

It's probably not a good idea to spend an entire night with someone you've never met.

People in Bogota have real jobs and do not have the time to be sitting around on Tinder waiting for someone to scam. Smart thing that you were not down for the drinks. Her M / O may have been to get you off your square that way. Seems after you threw a monkey wrench into her plans, it did not take long for the real her to come out. Were you there to party or to fuck? Seems to me your mission was accomplished and hers was twarted, though 240 K plus taxi money is a very good take for her.
