Check Youtube-there are lots of videos covering this topic.

i'm a bit sceptical about that point as i've just googled how many tourists were killed in London this year ( out of millions of visitors) and the answer is 0 which sounds drammatically lower vs 30 tourists killed in Medellin:) But i get your point about staying in safer areas to reduce the chances;). i'm in Florida in the early-mid Jan, so my Medellin part of the trip is going to be around 25 Jan- 3 Feb. Would be great to catch up if you're still there!

Any thoughts on this guys? If anyone has been recently to Medellin - how the things have been recently? Looks like it's not specifically about gays but the news are really alarming to the point where I'm thinking I should swap Medellin for Bucaramanga or a smaller town? https://www.google.com/amp/s/english.elpais.com/international/2024-06-24/29-tourist-deaths-trigger-alarm-bells-in-medellin.html%3foutputType=amp

Haven't seen a single attractive taxi driver there, but that might be my taste in men is different to yours:) Maadi was okay, but too quiet and far away from everything central, however the Thai restaurant was good enough for me to go there a few times. No hammams for me, too shy for that:)

Great, thanks, I actually probably need this one for my own house too!

Where do you attach this? Replace the shower head with it or is there another place to connect it?:)

Fair point! Would you say winter prices are usually higher or lower? I mean after the Xmas madness etc?

Ugh that's not good, looking forward to hearing more details!

No, I've checked as I thought he meant 100COP but he got really offended 😅 Can I order a motor taxi for them just like Uber? Do you know the apps for that?

Had a bit of a reality check and regret going to Medellin😂😂😂 Chatted with a few guys from skokka and Cali guys and even Bogota boys were okay to negotiate to 50COP-100COP max, while average looking Medellin guys are demanding 150-200 COP as the lowest and even 100 USD! (one sincerely ugly guy with a big dick claimed he is a local star and that's what he is paid). Oh boy. I'm going to find lots of touristy stuff to do in Medellin as I'm clearly not getting any sex there 😂

I actually found Laureles in Bogota and was surprised by your choice but decided you were just much braver than me 🤡

That's all really insightful, many thanks. I think I might be fine there just for 1 week to have a break and you know.. work for a change;) But that's smth to consider, I'd be only relying on locals in close proximity to me. Second week is deffo around Chapinero for all the action!

I know. But I have a degree in demographic studies so that's my thing😅

Found this map with population density and audience profile for Bogota - clearly north of Chapinero is the way to go Cedritos is the most highly populated "wealthy" area in the north and surrounded by even more populated less affluent areas,so that's a good choice for the first accomodation I guess. I hope i'm going to survive in Cali and Medeliin to verify this statement about Cedritos and report. For the second week i'm going to look at Chico and around it as recommended by @speedoo1, but struggling to find any non guarded appartments there, most of them are official rentals that reqire registering guests etc. So i'm still investigating!

I get the idea but I don't have an Explore function on Grindr and I don't have reliable sources for data for safety/quietness as it's subjective and can vary by the street apparently. I just hope those who've been there can share a couple of suggestions and I'll go from there. 2 places would allow me some room for an error, at least I'm not going to be stuck there for the whole trip:) Thanks for your contribution everyone, really appreciate it! Love that snobbish tone but that sincerely is my preference- an average straight looking guy... as I'm worried too much about my own looks around muscled gorgeous models. I've posted a report on my Cairo trip recently - so I'm definitely dedicated to share the experience as this forum helped me massively last time as well
