Funny you bring this up. My friend is joining me tomorrow from Medellin. We are going to travel through Mexico a few weeks together. He also suggested me to book an apartment in Laureles when I come back to Medellin. Latbear4blk and macdaddi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in mi research I have found unanimous opinions that Laureles is a safe hood. I am even considering renting my airbnb in there. To answer your question directly, I would say there is excellent advice here for a first-time visitor to the city. Agreed, the vaste majority of Laureles barrio south of the stadium is quite safe and I have never had any issues going about my business around that neighbourhood. Increasingly it is the barrio of choice for ex-pats and you will hear both English and German spoken regularly. I would endorse many of the comments about certain neighbourhoods being "unsafe" in the sense that you are more likely to encounter potential situations. El Centro after dark and on weekends can be rough, and the Parque de luces is bad outside of office hours, but I have negotiated both situations. A little common sense goes a long way. The one neighbouhood noted as a no-go zone is Trinidad (between the Olaya Herrera airport to the Medellin river) that is still controlled by narcos to move product though the city. Do not go there -- there is nothing to see there -- as the neighbourhood is still controlled by drug gangs who will know you are on the wrong turf. Skip Trinidad and walk up to Belen barrio better Cra 30 and Cra 33 which is the newest up and coming neighbourhood with tons of cafes, shops and restaurants along its lively streets. iendo, Latbear4blk and Lonnie 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macdaddi Posted January 6, 2022 Members Share Posted January 6, 2022 This thread makes me think of the Colombian expression "No dar papaya". It means don't put yourself in a situation where you may be taken advantage of, don't show wealth or draw unnecessary attention, a papaya being a rich, delicious fruit that you should not simply give away since then you cannot enjoy it. https://www.spanishdict.com/answers/151217/what-does-no-dar-papaya-mean Often when someone recounts something bad that has happened, you will hear "Dio papaya" in response. It is somewhat victim blaming (fair observation) but the idea is very Colombian -- something precipitated the event, no fue por casualidad. When in Colombia (and Medellin) remember "No dar papaya" and you will be just fine in many situations. P.S. That includes putting your mobile phone on the restaurant or café table while dining. Big mistake in Colombia -- do not do it. msclelovr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice for any visitor in any big city in Latin America, and in many big cities around the world, USA included.

Agree 100%. Except putting your cell phone on the table in Colombia -- sorry but I cringe every time I see it and have watched horrified foreigners as their smartphones go dashing down the street with their new "owners". Please just put it away unless you truly need it Latbear4blk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topjohn5 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm headed back to Colombia for a month and a half in March. I only arrange long dates with boys from Chaturbate...it's soooo easy but my tastes are young, no muscles, little hair and 100% bottoms...the more submissive in bed the better. I actually may move there after I get my Argentine passport...the supply is endless! tassojunior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good and safe area to stay in whilst in Medellin. Carrera 70 gets quite lively in the evening/at night. Easy to go to the city center from Estadio metro station or even easier take a collectivo (minibus) along Ave. San Juan. San Peter Apartments on a side street to Carrera 70 has several Airbnb listings with nice and roomy apartments; pick one a high floor for amazing views over Medellin and less street noise.

Yes, my research agrees with you. Thanks for the tip on those apartments, but I already have a nest at a great price. Now, I hope to coincide with @macdaddi or other travelers.

Hey -- super happy to hear that you have booked your Medellin trip. Hope that the city of eternal spring lives up to your expectations. Unfortunately I have to return home at the end of the week for business and to check in on the home front. Right now I do not have return trip booked -- but feel free to DM with any questions. ¡Disfrútete mucho con los paisas!

Members Latbear4blk Posted February 21, 2022 Members Share Posted February 21, 2022 I have been checking my neighborhood in Google Maps, and I love it. Definitively, Medellín is becoming a strong candidate to be one of my after retirement bases. Even in Google Maps, the city seems to be full of attractive men. macdaddi and iendo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tassojunior Posted February 25, 2022 Members Share Posted February 25, 2022 Julian lives in Medellin and has some nice connections there. As a tourist attraction I'd put him up with the Botero museum (and the bombed birds). Someone should know if Christian from the old Club Tobi has returned from Europe or the other gay muscle guy who worked there. Both would probably age well. I stayed at the cheap Gran hotel to be next to the hustler street (disappointment) but spent all my sex time at Club Tobi.
