Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=SuperSaint;3044322]My experiences with dedicated websites aren't bad. Overall, they probably involve the least amount of drama and offer the prettiest women for their rate.

Tinder and Bumble have produced the most drama. There are a lot of chicas who will go silent when propositioned. It's safe to say that if you're a foreigner, they either want dinners, drinks, trips, gifts, cash, or to rob you. It's very unlikely that a hot paisa is on there looking for a fling with no strings attachedI know it does happen sometimes. There are chicas there looking for a real boyfriend.

Many of them will play the girlfriend angle first and accept dinner invitations. They will avoid sex until you offer money. These types might be willing to go on multiple dates and string you along indefinitely.

A direct proposition of cash weeds these types of dabblers out. Be careful if her price seems "off" or a "great deal."

Some of them will say they aren't a prepago, but they will do it for some high rate. I truly believe they believe themselves. They may not be a prepago, but they are very similar to the Facebook types from years past.

I would not allow them inside my apartment first time. A lot of guys do. Before I host someone at home, I get ID, social media, home address, workplace, schoolall of it. It's too easy to get drugged now. They know the police won't help foreigners.

If you let one sleep over, plan on her checking your phone for a biometric unlock while you sleep, or rifling through closets and the kitchen.

The scam is to build trust and collect info, then hit the guy for everything after he thinks it's true love.

The centro scene outside of the usual casas and discosI assume streetwalkers.

The hotter ones in Plaza Botero that I've found were just walking around. They were dressed a little better than the ones leaning out of the short-term hotel entrances in booty shorts and a tube top. Sometimes I can't tell if she's working unless she smiles and makes eye contact. There's very little time for hesitation.

The Veracruz chicas come out by 9 am And steadily increase as time goes by. Most want 50 to 100 mil. The short-term room is 30 to 40 mil. After one session in the STH, some are willing to travel to your placejust pay their taxi and normal rate.

Beware: There are a lot of minors working this area, and Medellin is looking to make examples out of foreigners lately. They all have fake IDs too. Avoid at all costs.[/QUOTE]I frequent Tijuana, and nowhere else much to say about. Been to Asia Thailand, did not like it. What I love about Tijuana is the strip clubs provide a party atmosphere 24/7 (mostly) so Johns and escorts mingle. Chat, dance, drink, grope, kiss, grind and then they can move up to the rooms if they wanted. This is something I wouldn't want to replace for anything.

I don't read you guys in this Forum talk about such venues in Medellin or Bogota, or maybe I did not look deep enough. Can you impart some wisdom on this? Are there affordable strip clubs or brothels as such? Or the German FKK types? Tijuana has massage parlors but they do kind of suck, they are very expensive and the women are not much to write home about.

In Pattaya there are 100 places like what you described (and it cost $30 to fuck), while in Tijuana there are only 3 (and they want over $100 to fuck).

[QUOTE=Vern2020;3050119]I'm heading down Friday for a 10-day trip. I'm familiar with New Life, [b]Conejitas, and Bara Executiva[/b]. Any other good Centro casas or bars I should have on my list? Thanks.[/QUOTE]

Thailand just not my thing, let's just say I am more attracted to Latinas. If MDN has affordable strip clubs like that you find in Tijuana, I am willing to risk it (given all the negative stories we hear everywhere these days) Just wanted to hear it from you seasoned gringos who know the place well.

I am reading about these places, thanks for the pointer. "New Life, Conejitas, and Bara Executiva"

[QUOTE=Blakman;3050188]Its extremely annoying texting with Colombia chicas and they inquire do you want to pay for pics, video, contents. I want to pay 4 p**sy I can physically touch not imagine, wish, view from afar. I guest this is in large demand. I guess guys who participate don't know how it affects the game. If I can sit at home and make money, then why take the risk of coming outdoors to make money. I guess I will continue to say no thanks.[/QUOTE]There are a lot more guys not in Medellin than in Medellin so it makes sense that a girl would want to try to sell pictures and videos. For those guys, meeting in person is not an option so interactive video calling is the next best thing. How it affects the game is not something that other guys normally care about, nor should they. I don't blame the girls for trying to make money. They usually do both.

[QUOTE=Knowledge;3050127]In no particular order, the other Centro casas that are currently active with reasonable quality are Zandaly, Amigas Sexxy, and Aiffe. Special wave off to the joint on carrera 45 just north of calle 57 (midway between Aiffe and Amigas Sexxy) that's on the second floor like Amigas Sexxy. It's one of the old line spots and it's always been extra grungy with generally poor quality. The last time I was in there about a year ago the manager was insistent about a viewing fee if I didn't pull the trigger. I trusted my instincts that it was a red flag that she didn't think I would want to go with anyone available. I gave her a quick thanks but no thanks and kicked rocks.[/QUOTE]I'm thinking that's casa Pamela. I went there in May last year and the mamasan (late 30's?) promised me a once in a lifetime BBBJ at no extra cost which I could not refuse, and she honored her promise.

You are right. It's one of the few places that hasn't had a name change in nearly 15 years. Based on our report maybe I should pop in there and see what's up.

This is a no. If you can change your reservation you should consider it because you will spend a good amount of time commuting through daily traffic jams to reach any venues.

[QUOTE=SoulCust;3050167]Any casa's or strip clubs in Sabaneta, Itagui, or envisage? Staying in Sabaneta for the week. Any help appreciated.[/QUOTE]

You said a mouthful about employed vs unemployed girls. The jobless girls can be absolutely relentless. Besides obvious money motivation, I think the frequent poking is also a way for them to stave off boredom.

[QUOTE=KeviKev68;3050057]You make several good points. He must be a younger guy because I am younger than you but there's no need for a 24 hour visit. I don't do outings like dinner but I get a nice Airbnb and we watch some Netflix and hit the sack.

I have found that if you have seen them more than once and have nice comfy apartment they are willing to stay longer and without extra "charges. " I kind of prefer chicas with jobs because it keeps them busy. Otherwise, they will bug you all day long.

I learned this years ago but I pay the women to leave.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Nomars777;3050006]All the chicas said prices got raised at the beginning of the year due to "inflation".

Chicas are now charging $50 k, although a few still offered me last summer's rate of $40 k most were at $50 k.

Room used to be $10-12 k, it's now $20 k, period.

So plan for $50+20 k = $70 k / $3.5 k per USD at the current crap exchange rate and that's $20 USD on the nose.

2023-2024-2025 this was closer to $12-15 USD, but honestly $20 USD is just stupid cheap. As I told my buddy's friend Botero / el centro is both bad and good.

Bad in the sense that most girls are not very attractive (in my opinion probably 4's and 5's, with a few 6's and 7's sprinkled in if you are patient or walk the zone and sift for gold).[/QUOTE]I'll be there again myself soon enough to confirm and report back. But what's happening is as of January 1st this year, the government raised their minimum wage by 24%. Probably "inflation" yeah, but possibly political reasons as well. Not to get political here, but their president is very unpopular and this is his last year in office, so maybe part of the reason is as an attempt to appease people and keep his party in power. Petro is Colombia's first overtly left wing president. Presidents can't serve more than one term in Colombia, but someone else in his party can. This extreme of a wage hike is inflationary though. Unfortunately, I can see prices for regular things (hotels, food, taxis, etc) increasing as well, in addition to the girls. The hotel I booked for this upcoming spring was definitely significantly (percentage-wise) more expensive than the last time I went just a few months ago. Remember to do what you can to (not) overpay the girls though, this is the type of thing that can (over time) possibly ruin the bargain prices that bring us here in the first place. Look at what happened in Costa Rica as an example. The prices were cheap and then shot up in a fairly short amount of time, now it's nowhere near as popular / affordable to go.

One effect I'm curious to see of the wage hikes is on employment. I'm hearing people are getting laid off or fired because businesses can't afford to pay their employees this new minimum wage all of a sudden. Over time I'm sure it will adjust, but I want to see what happens as a result in the short and medium term, and see how it affects the number of girls working. There's also the capture of Maduro to consider. Theoretically, as things in Venezuela get less crazy over time, I would imagine a lot of the girls (since realistically the majority or at least half are Venezuelan girls who came to escape the Venezuelan dictatorship and then undercut the Colombian girls' prices out of desperation to make money) are eventually going to go back home. Reduction in "supply" with the same or increased "demand" causes increases in prices over time. Things change fast in Latin America. Contacts that I have in other Colombian cities are already telling me some Venezuelans are already slowly starting to go back. If anyone there on the ground has any more information, please share.

"As of January 1, 2026, the Colombian government has set the monthly statutory minimum wage (SMLMV) at COP 1,750,905. Including a mandatory transportation subsidy of COP 249,095, the total monthly compensation for workers is COP 2,000,000, representing a significant 23.7% increase aimed at boosting purchasing power, according to reports.

The USA Dollar has weakened significantly against the Colombian peso over the past year from 4000 to below 3700 pesos and I find this more significant than any inflation. Girls don't act together as a cohesive whole. Each girl is different. For the most part, the girls that I have been seeing have not asked for more. It is the same prices as I have paid for the past two years for most of the girls but they are a few that have asked for more. But due to weakening USA Dollar, I am paying more.

"Remember to do what you can to (not) overpay the girls though". I really don't think a worldwide conspiracy among mongering men to pay girls a certain amount is going to work. Guys like to tell other strangers this but it is fantasy to think that it will ever work. Guys will pay what they want to pay and they are not going to listen to some anonymous stranger. Also if everyone conspires to pay X, the guy who pays X plus a few pesos more, will get all the girls. He could care less about the brotherhood of mongers and their aspirations to hold prices down.

Yeah, I noticed the USD weakening against the COP as well. I'm going back soon and am trying to time when to order my pesos. It spiked all the way down to 3,533 on January 25th. It's on a slight uptrend over the past week though, and right now it's at 3,702. So (even though it's down 10% overall), I might buy double the usual to get this trip and possibly the next at this exchange rate and then wait to see what happens.

They don't act as a cohesive group, but they "kinda" do in Centro at least from what I've seen. I was talking to the girls a few years ago when the price slightly increased to what they are now, and they were all saying the same price. Of course you can always try to negotiate and sometimes I've successfully done that, but word seems to get around to ask (at least initially) for the same price. Then some girls who think they're hot shit ask for more and don't easily budge.

Fair point. I know some guys are always going to overpay, but I hope maybe I can put it one or two guys' heads to not do it LOL. I've definitely taken good advice from you guys since joining the forum.

Telling mongers not to pay unnecessary high amount to working girls is futile. One group that made the prices to go ridiculously high in Tijuana is the rowdy young professional crowd that fill up the Red Zone in the weekends. Price was about $80/30 for the longest time, drinks about $8 to $9, rooms about $20. Now it is normal to see guys spending money on the girls as high as $500/2hrs, that is drinks in the clubs, $11 for a glass of water, $15 cocktails to $30 for small bottle of wine, and then sex in the short rooms. These guys come in groups from SD and LA and just go out of control. Now the long time frequenter who is semi retired is being priced out.

Remember, Colombia is still affordable, got to get your things going before it becomes too expensive.

As of the start of 2026, I've seen it as low as only 84 cents in Euros for a Dollar. This all adds up and hurts! The Dollar is still doing well against the Brazilian Real, but it costs more and more and more to monger in Europe!

It's crazy, but a lot of Colombians are actually happy to get a minimum wage job.

It's no wonder you have Colombian men who are willing to go to Ukraine as mercenaries and risk everything to make $3,000 USD a month. It's a fortune for them (or for their family if they die or are captured and in a Siberian prison).

Good in the sense that you can test drive them for 20-30 minutes before you commit to paying more. He took a cute 6 up to the room in Botero Real and confirmed this was true. Rode him like a champ, nice and wet, good moaning and performance, all for $20 USD. Gone for 30 minutes. He was pleased enough to think about offering to have her come to his Airbnb for an extended session, which she offered him a good rate on. Something like $200 k for 2-3 hours. I don't think he pulled the trigger on that though..[/QUOTE]I was there last year and I was paying 250 K to 350 K depending on what I wanted, natural blowjob and anal will be on a higher end. This was an La Poblado, was I paying too much?
