Medellin Columbia
 

Leaving this Saturday for a week. Any webmasters down there?

Care to share any experiences? What are the hot spots etc..

hire the right bodyguards..lol

You been? I don't think it's that bad anymore from what I understand.

Omar, check out this guys blog... http://liveuncomfortably.com/cocaine...llin-colombia/

I think you'll have some fun in Columbia

Cocaine is a hell of a drug!!

I hope I do. Been hearing about it for years, finally going to check the place out. That guy is nuts btw

pretty interesting however I've had those experiences here in slum areas... whoops! under privileged areas. looks like he's having a good time tho

No its not that bad any more but I sure would leave the loud Jewelry at home and be careful about flashing any real cash.

"Disfrute su secuestro, sir"...

:1orglaugh

check out the amazing city center, there are two areas i remember-
1)the plaza with the Botero scultptures is something you should see.
2)the area of town beneath the overpass (could be a train overpass) - its lively.

don't recall any bars/clubs of note but i am sure there are.
Medellin is one of Colombia's great towns.

I was there 2006 and the danger factor was low. The bus from Bogota had to be diverted because of some drug war skirmish so it was a long trip but worth it.
from there onto Cartagena, now that is a crazy ass seaside town.

Don't wear jewelry, and that's pretty much my rule of thumb with cash anywhere I go. Thanks for the input tho!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Thanks Calgri this is going to be useful:thumbsup

have a good time man!

I say caution and dont stick our as an American tourist

It's mostly safe. Stay out of the shady areas (if you see kids sniffing glue, leave) and industrial zones and you will be fine. AMAZING women there.

remember onlye 4 grams a day max

Just don't go to Mexico, the death toll over the drugs is stupid crazy

Don't go to el centro at night if you stick out as a sore thumb.

Have fun with the paisas in the casas (reservados) ;)

I'm goin too - can't wait - have a great time man...don't listen to the scardy cats...

So pretty much like costa rica lol
