Had a bit of a reality check and regret going to Medellin😂😂😂

Do consider the timing -- if you did your search within the last week, it is La Feria de las Flores currently (until Sunday, August 11) and prices go up as the city is packed with tourists right now. FWIW.

There will be plenty of horny paisas wiling and ready to hook up when you arrive in Medallo.

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

Prices drop post-Christmas as everyone is broke and things are mostly quiet in January and don’t begin to pick up until the religious holidays and Valentine’s Day (a big deal in Medellín) happen in February.  The paisas in particular have made gringo holidays very fashionable in recent years.

Hmm in spring 2022 I stayed 10 days in Chapinero bogota.  I stayed near Basílica Menor Nuestra Señora de Lourdes.  OK area, but like anywhere keep your eyes open at night.  Near all the clubs.

I spent much more time in Medellin (laureles is good) 2022 and 2024

If you are a bottom, I recommend you buy a bidet hose for the toilet.  easy to install and move around.  stayed 90 days in medellin 4 different AIRBNBs  , my colombian bottoms loved it too and I gave it to one of them....

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

you turn off the water to the toilet tank.  unscrew the (typically plastic) hose on the bottom of the toilet tank.  screw on this valve to the bottom of the tank. attach hose to fill and hose to bidet nozzle .  turn on water, adjust valve to suit how much pressure you want to fill your ass with.  sit on toilet, fill and purge.

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

Common in asia, middle east.  You can buy one in colombia, but I remember the selection was poor.  I like the smaller nozzle style, small enough to inject into your butt without issue. 

I have one.  didn't think I would like it with ice cold water here, but it is still really good.

Great gift for bottom, and yes highly recommended with a small nozzle, it cleans a lot better than bidet and the water shooting up into your gut with high force.

With bidet, it takes a bit time to completely clean especially when hurry according to bottom’s friend.

There is a separate bidet in every single Argentine restroom.

I prefer the "Bum Guns" like in the picture above and  asian style bidet toilet seats or even the Arab toilets that have the water spout built right into the toilet over separate bidets

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?

Relax.  There is always an emerging "new" panic around Colombia travel. You wouldn't believe the "expert" opinions shared with me when I first traveled to the country and fell in love with Medallo. Perhaps because Narcos on Netflix was popular at the time? 

Medellín as a whole is less dangerous that most similarly sized cities in North America. The barrios where there are higher rates of violent crimes are ones you are highly unlikely to visit during your first trip.  Skipping this city will leave a big to-do on your travel list. 

Don't let a few negative stories detract you from visiting the city. There is much to see and do, and the paisas are certain to charm the pants off of you. Literally.

Cheers.

Edit - BTW, if you are still planning to be there in early January 2025, I am around. Happy to meet up and introduce you to some locals and the main spots.

I Both were happy to take me around town and were very proud of their city and its culture.  One even took me up to Mirador Picacho in the evening to see some breathtaking views of the city at night.

If I have not mentioned this before, I apologize. @midwestdad is absolutely correct and the dozens of miradores around Medallo are a great excursion with a new friend.  Download the app Miradores Destination for the best selection with instructions how how to arrive (choose an Uber unless you really enjoy steep hiking trails) and to know what amenities are on site. Some have restaurants and entertainment, other have simple cantinas where you can buy a beer and take in the city lights. Great way to end a day in Medellín.

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!
