After visiting several other countries, including Brazil, Cuba, Costa, Asia to name a few, I tried Medellin. Here's my take on it:

The Girls are too Short-Time
I prefer a girl who will spend more time, and found it very difficult to get a girl willing to stay for more than an hour or two.

The Street Scene was Terrible
I drove around centro several times at night, and checked out 'prime' areas only to find very subprime talent. This includes Mayorista, where some of the skankiest hoes i've seen in years hang out. Nasty.

The Strip Clubs are very American
La Isla, San Diego and a local dive place were full of agressive girls who wanted to charge outRAGEOUS prices for 30-40 minutes in the back rooms. Also, many of the dancers were older, up to their 30's.

The Casas were acceptable
I found Abydos to be a pleasant change. The price was 70,000 pesos, or around 30 bucks for an hour. My girl was in her mid twenties, again older than i prefer. She gave a good massage and session, but with no BJ offered or available.

Blowjobs are lame at best
Compared to Cuba and Brazil, Medellin SUCKS! Better than half the girls didn't want to blow me, and it was a constant challenge to get them to blow without a condom, or to spend much time on the knob. After spending time in Brazil and Cuba, where BBBJ is the norm, and the girls generally give a very enthusiastic hummer, I found this most distressing.

Medellin is nice if you like living in the mountains. Not much sunshine. Safe. Friendly people. Good food. Not too expensive.

Flying OUT of Medellin is a ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS. The airport is crowded, I was searched and my bags inspected five times - no joke. The Avianca ticket guy interrogated me like I was some type of criminal, asking me all types of questions. Not even the Cuban airport is this tough to leave.

I doubt I will return.

Thanks Irish' because I was planning a trip for summer.

Wow, I can't say I'd fully agree. I had some not so good experiences in Mde as well, but not bad enough to not return. A lotta times, its luck of the draw, and a little bit O' spanish goes a long way. Better luck next time.

I gotta agree with you about leaving MDE. I got patted down so well after passing through the x-ray machine, that if it had been a woman doing the search I would have given her a tip!

RG.

How long were you there for?

The only thing I can agree with you is the airport at Rio Negro is very disorganized. So much so that I don't leave internationally from Rio Negro anymore, I fly up to Bogota which isn't as bad to leave from (but is a pain to fly into).

As far as Street Girls - when did you go? Makes a big difference. I and many others on this board have had great success with SGs

Strip Clubs are very American? Really? I don't know any American strip clubs that I can take a girl out of for the whole night, like you can in MDE. I've taken out from La Isla, Face Dos and San Diego - never had a runner and they've always stayed all night - because that's what I negotiated.

How's your Spanish? That can make a difference, especially in negotiations.

Also if you go to a strip club by yourself, you will have more girls sit next to you and try to chat you up. But I've seen this all over the world, not just Medellin - that's why guys like to have wingmen. And the more agressive ones tend to be the uglier ones - again, that's ANYWHERE in the world.

Not much sunshine? Based on how many days there? Did you know October and November are the rainiest months? Other than those months I always return home tanned when I come back from Medellin.

Hey - to each his own, and speaking selfishly I'd like to see more guys NOT enjoy Medellin and take there business elsewhere. Some guys like to be surrounded by tourists. I'm not one of them.

I speak and understand enough Spanish to have be somewhat conversational. I'd say I'm on Pimsleur Spanish II around lesson 10. So my communication wasn't the problem.

The street action was Tuesday, Wed, Thurs & Friday night. I drove around the areas behind SanDiego with some guys who had been picking up lots of streetgirls. Honestly, I wouldn't give you two cents for what I saw. I brought home one SG who was less animated and passionate than a blow up doll. I've never had a worse experience of lifelessness than her. Another street girl constantly asked me if I was finished. Those experiences precluded me from indulging in more lame sex with street girls.

Mayorista, an area that was supposed to have lots of good talent at the end of the week? Yuk - what a freakshow. To add to the circus like environment, there's a really nice midget guy there selling cigarretes and gum, which is quite fitting IMHO.

Compared to other locations, I would rate Medellin in the "B" Leagues, like Costa Rica. Nice place to visit, but wouldn't want to go there specifically for the hobby.

Personally, I would take the Paisas of MDE over what can be had in SJO, any day of the week.

Many of the best looking chicas in SJO are in fact Colombianas.

Better luck next time.

I've only been to Medellin once(I prefer Bogota for my own selfish reasons) but I can only say YMMV. Overall most people that go to Medellin and the rest of Colombia have a good time. I'll be in Colombia next month and am totally going off the beaten path(I'll be going to Monteria and several other small towns in Cordoba province).

Irishrover,

I curious as to 4 things about your Medellin trip.

When did you go?

Where did you stay?

How long did you stay?

Did try to hook up with any non-pros?

Also, any pictures?


Cubanut

Irishrover, I am in Medellin right now and I can partially agree with you about the street action and quantity of the p4p venues. I am not into street girls or cheap hotels as it is just not my style. I did however wanted to see the area where Sandman had some bad experience so I had my cab driver drive around club San Diego and I tell ya most of those girls are under-----age and one drugs. I would not take even a single girl from there no matter how cheap or how good she looks.

I however found a great place right here in Poblado and it is a great place, discrete, very posh, and the girls are model quality. You have the choice to dine-in or take out. All the times I have been there I have not seen a single gringo and the Colombians come there in cruise landers and other expensive cars. I often feel like Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut where he is the only one who has a cab waiting outside the mansion.

Anyway, I think right now could be the best time or the worst time to visit Medellin. Best time in the sense that every one is in Christmas spirit and there are lights every where and way too many people on the roads, shopping malls, discos, and strip club. Worst in a sense that the street action may not be as good as when some of the other Hombres visited Medellin. I have read so many reports on Medellin and these reports are by many experienced Hombres so I believe it may be a bad time for street action, but again I am never into street actions, Medellin or anywhere else.

I may write a report on my 10 days trip to Medellin but for the time being enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights at the river in Medellin.

Sorry I was pretty drunk when I posted this message last night. I also agree with Wallstreet that strip clubs are not like the ones in the US. Here you can actually take the girls out either for short time or all night. And if the girl speaks or understands a bit of English or you can communicate in Spanish then it makes a lot of difference in the quality of time spent with the girl. That is a major difference between the US and Colombia.

I was there last week for a week in a private residence in El Poblado. I didn't want to try and hook up with non-pros - kinda defeats the purpose of a hobbytrip, doesn't it? No photos.

Phdmonger,

END

Care to share where this was or what the name of the place is at least?

Irishrover,

Looking ONLY for non pros on a monger trip is self defeating. A friend of mine pulled this shot on me only when we were arriving to Medellin and totally threw off the mongering plan I had set up for us. Then he complained about not being able to score with the non-pros even after I told him he would need more than just a week to do so.

I have mixed the two together and have come out ok on both sides.

CN:

I think it is called "Lejanoo Orientale" or something similar. I will get the address and name today when I go back there tonight. I think it was mentioned in one of the reports but I did not remember it. I went there Monday evening and there were 4-5 girls and none to my liking and take out started at 400K. I then returned to the same place around midnight and this time there were around 15 girls and 4-5 to my liking and I took one out for all night. Since then I am going there every night and taking one girl either for 3 hours or all night. The girls are not the same every night and some girls only work 1-2 days a week and only work on specific days. My best so far has been Thursday night and this girl only works Thursday and Friday. I may stick with her for rest of the trip. But this is an expensive place with 100-120K casa fee and then girls have their own price range.

This place primarily caters to the locals and I have never seen a gringo every time I have been there. I once sent Juan, the taxi driver, on his own to check out prices if they were charging different prices to locals and gringos but they were not. Juan and another taxi driver, Jairo, were quoted the same prices as they quoted me.

Phd

This is the one from last night. The photo does not do a justice as she is way more beautiful in person. She has unbelievable eyes and she is not wearing any lenses.

Cubanut, Robert at the mansion knows about the place, but it is a bit expensive (you can ask him about it on your next trip), probably why he doesn't take his clients there, gringos do go there, I have been there twice a few years ago and I saw a gringo in there on each occasion.

Hunter

Irishlover, I also enjoyed Abyudos and found some real lookers there. I had better experience with the BJs and BBBJs, but yeah, a couple gals were reluctant to give it at all.

PHD: Hey Phd thanks for the nice Pics. Smitopher and We checked out Lejanos Orientales our last trip to MDE. Very elegant place in the hillside, but when we went, there were only 4 gals that time, but perhaps it was early in the evening. Smitopher actually stayed longer, I was visiting there w/J so we just stopped off for about 15 minutes to look around. I'm glad you stayed there longer, it looks interesting and probably warrants another look.

Irishlover, sorry for hijacking your thread.

Hey Merlin, I thought I had read about this place and it must be in your TR. On last Sunday I was so disappointed in Medellin that I actually thought of going to Cartagena to see J. Then I realized Sunday must be the slowest day and I need to spend at least one more night in Medellin and things did change on Monday afternoon with a non-pro and then with pros. I am kind of hesitant to write a TR due to my experience with the old handle so I may just keep you, WS, and few other trusted hombres with my activities.

Phd

Hunter,

Actually I knew about the place.

The first post did not mention a name or where it was. I thought maybe it was somewhere new.

It's pricey and for the amount your paying there I would instead suggest asking Robert to set you up with a REAL model type that spends 3 hours just getting dolled up for you. Nothing I've posted but true model quality.

I don't think many of the guys out here have experienced this. It really is pricey but worth it.


Cubanut

Just got back from Medellin last night at midnight. It was my fourth trip in four months. This is the best post of the week. Anything that keeps the reputation down for Medellin is good for me. I don't go there to see more Gringos. But having said that, I don't like people calling my baby ugly, and Medellin is my baby. I absolutely adore the place.

1) Complaining about the weather there is like saying the weather sucks in Hawaii. It is perfect. the city of perpetual spring. Hey, don't like spring? Too bad, stay home in New York all winter with me.

2) I am becoming an expert on the street girls in Medellin. I talked to my friends this trip and they told me they had a hard time finding the right babes in all the right places, so there may be some truth to the report that the street girl scene is not as good right now as it was. I had some girls tell me the cops were trying to clean it up and were hassling girls with no ID. That could explain it.

3) Strip Clubs. Yea...NO strip club in the US is like MDE. I went to La Isla for the first time. You can fuck the hottest babes I have ever seen for $150K for an hour. That is about $70 bucks. Trying doing that at a US strip club. I took one back to the Mansion with me. 19 smokin hot bod. Had a sister 18 that wanted to come to but was not feeling well that day. She charged me $200K for two hours at the Mansion, about $90 bucks. A bit pricey for me, and did not want to give a blowjob, but the sex was awesome.

4) I am finding more girls not willing to give BJ's, but for every one that won't there are many more that will. Frankly the street girls are MORE likely to do BJ's. ....even BBBJ's. But if you did not find a cute street girl you would not know that.

5) Staying at the Mansion helps alot. There are always cute girls arriving or leaving that are ready to go the distance. I snagged a cutie out of the swimming pool Saturday afternoon and invited her back to my room. She was on my knob sin condom within 30 seconds. GAve me all I wanted, including DFK. Paid her $60K, which is less than $30 bucks.

6) The biggest issue I have is with the short time vs longtime accusation. I have never ever had a girl turn me down for all night, but I have had girls beg me to stay the night, for no extra dough. On this last trip, I spent the night with TWO girls for three straight nights. They didn't want to leave. I screwed them both simultaneously, and did them again in the morning. Anna Maria and Daniella are two primas...18 years old, hot as fire and sweet as candy. I love these babes. Cubanut has pics of them posted on his trip report. I will get around to writing mine soon. No longtime action??? Dear God man. I could not get rid of them, even if I wanted to. They took me to their casa in Las Cabanitas. They wanted me to sleep with them in their beds...in the middle of their peluches. They fed me colombian food and begged me to take them to the Luz de Navidad. Of course I did, and had a ball hanging out with them for the whole trip. (While screwing as many others on the side every chance I got, which they had no problems with). Saturday night I took the three primas to Mongos for dancing. What a blast.

Don't like the strip club girls? Try Loutron or one of the other nice Massage parlors. Really hot babes for about $150K. (70)

So...I don't want to say there was some reason they would not spend the time with you, I have no idea. I just know I never have had a problem with long time in medellen. In fact that is one reason I have continued to go back once a month since I found the place. I am now thinking about trip #5....God Help Me!

But other than this, I agree with everytime Irishrover says and I highly suggest you look to a different location. MDE sucks. The airport does suck...so yes, please stay away.

How does Medellin compare to other destinations you've visited?

As for the weather, I can understand IR's point of view based on one trip. I went down to MDE about 7 times in Oct/Nov and on several of the trips, it was like Monsoon Season in Asia - I mean, rain coming down so hard and so long that Parque Lleras was a ghost-town on a Friday AND Saturday night. So if you only stayed for a week and it rained everyday, you moight have bad things to say about the weather.

But the strip clubs are (or were) prime-hunting ground for me and I'm with RM on the long time situation - my overnight guests were always around for breakfast and usually lunch too!

Then again, I could just agree that IR exposed us for the charlatans that we are and that MDE is highly overrated - the last thing I want to see is another McDonald's opening up with fat gringos lining up for Grande Macs (or whatever the fuck they call 'em down there). Bad enough Dunkin Donuts is sprouting up all over Colombia - give me a hot churros any day of the week.

Can a newbie hire the guys at the mansion for "guide services", and not necessarily stay at the mansion?

a couple of us are headed for our first trip and were thinking of staying at the apts recommended by wall street, but would like to have the opportunity to swing by the mansion, hang out, etc, meet the guys in town.

In addition to the post above from Whitty, we need help on roundtrip air from MDE to CTG. We are flying into MDE on American May 19th. Does anyone have recommendations on when, who, where to make reservations and costs? Thanks, AZ

SAM airlines (see Avianca.com) flies direct between the 2 cities; or you can connect through bogota for more frequency. The SAM from MDE-CTG is 1+ hour but they use turboprop planes. It's a good airline as it's part of Avianca.

Copa flies into Panama early AM and then to CTG in the afternoon. Copa is more expensive though but you get FF miles on CO.

There may be other domestic airlines, but I've had bad experiences with them cancelling flights and rescheduling w/o notice.

Merlin, thanks, is it easier just to book the flight when we get to mde? or is it something we should book in advance? We will probably go SAM, turboprops are fine.

we get in on a friday, and plan to fly to cartagena the following tuesday or wednesday.

appreciate the information.

Whitty, glad I could help, even though you're flying out on Tues, I'd still book the tix as soon as possible as the cheaper fares and the better departure times seem to sell out pretty fast. You guys will have a blast in MDE & CTG.

Flying regularly between the Colombian cities, a good tip is to book the morning flights with SAM (Avianca), I have yet to have one of those cancelled, but afternoon flights have a far higher chance of the flight being cancelled.

Hunter

Thanks for the help. How would you guys split your time between MDE and CTG? I think we are there 11 days. THanks, AZ

Hunter, always thought it was just my bad luck, but it seems the domestic airlines do cancel flights w/o notice more often than I thought.

AZ, IMO, I'd split it equally between the 2 cities since it's your first trip to Colombia. If you don't like one place, it's an easy flight to the other city.

CTG is a relatively small town compared to MDE, very historic and beautiful beaches. The tourist area near the beach (where you'll be) is even smaller. I actually like CTG a bit more b/c I like hanging out at the beach and picking up freelancers, could do that all day. It's very hot and humid though.

MDE is a large metropolis with lots of great urban, non-monger amenities like restaurants, discos, malls, Parque Llera, etc. When I went, we only stayed about 4 days and it was definitely not enough time to explore all the mongering and non-mongering places.

Thanks for your help. Cant wait for May! AZ

Interesting bit of trivia about the Christmas decorations in Medellin. It is probably one of the most fabulously lit cities in the world. All over downtown and almost the entire length of the river is wall to wall Christmas lights and decorations. There are even reviewing stands along the waterfront to view them.

So, one day I asked my teacher where they got all the money for all these decorations. Even though Mde is pretty upscale, these Christmas decorations. He responded, "oh, these are already sold". I kinda did a double take and asked "what does that mean" He told me that every year they make all new decorations which are pre-sold to cities in Europe. After the holiday season is over, they pack them up and ship them to Europe than start all over for the next year. Pretty clever way to have fresh decos each year and make a profit doing it eh?

As far as IR's comments, well, the lad was just probably not following his nose correctly but as many have said, Medellin is not for everybody. It is not in your face sex like Rio, LOS or AC. In fact, it is pretty much low key but available everywhere. I mean, can you imagine a cab driver in Rio not knowing where the biggest most expensive massage place in town is located? Happened almost daily to me in Mde. In fact, I had to give them directions a couple of times.

AZ guy. I doubt Robert or Greg will be interested in guide services alone. Their guests keep them pretty busy and they do not like non-guests hanging around but you can ask them and who knows??? try info@medellinmansion.com

Sandman

RM Glad you had a good time on your trip. I love those little primas too. D has a smokin body that is well hidden in her street clothes. Perky little nipples eh?

Sandman says: "Perky little nipples eh?" Yes indeed. They could double as a clothes hanger, they popped out so far. Loved tasting those while banging her prima. Then I switched and banged daniella, while tasing AM's nice big mellons. Stop me...I am getting myself hot.

radio

Radioman,

I guess you and I are just very lucky when we are in Medellin. I have a blast with beautiful women everytime I'm there also.

Photo: Primas

I'll say it again and again though "Medellin is NOT for everyone".

Alot of guys will be turned off by the rains. I agree with them that it rains alot but that's why it's the city of eternal spring. The dry season is approaching which is January and early February. It gets dry again June and early July.

RM,

I've been meaning to ask if you want a copy of the pics we took of the 8 Paisas in the pool. I've got about 20 pics above and underwater. The petite one in the blue bikini is too cute for words. Out of respect I will not post any of them here or anywhere nor will I share them with anyone else but you since they were your guests. So if you want I can e-mail them to you or mail you a disc. PM me if you want or e-mail me at cuba_nut@yahoo.com.


Cheers,


Cubanut

Cubanut you devil. I am having Anna Maria/Daniella Withdrawal pains, and you go post that freakin picture. I do guess they should be the poster child for LONG TIME experiences that are so easily available in Medellin. I spend four straight days with these babes. They were at the Mansion waiting for me when I arrived, and took me to the airport to say good bye. You will never find two sweeter, or cuter little babes to spend time with. They never asked for thing, and kept coming up with ideas for cool things to do together. The night at La Isla was a blast, followed by wild dancing at Mangos, but I am writing a lengthy trip report now.

Yes, I do want the pics of the 8 chicas I brought to the pool that day, and thanks for not posting them here. I will PM, mi amigo!
