Just spent a week in Colombia visited Medellín and Cartagena AMA

[Robbie3000]

where you saw folks jumping on conveyer belts?

you know damn well you aint seen that anywhere on the planet

Why you taking this so personally? I’ve seen a few videos of large groups of passport bros doing too much.

 

[papa pimp]

Why would you consider it going backwards?

i just think the top cities on those continents (even asia) are more appealing. its maybe 2-3 places in Latin Ameria i want to see but im in no rush.

Latin America is dope af. It’s like Europe with a lot more flavor if that makes any sense.

Given the choice, I’m choosing Latin America over Europe any day.

No pics? Pointless thread

different strokes


i like high end fashion and people dressing fly, art, architecture, great transit/walkability and as little language barrier as possible.

if i was big on beach culture, latino women, nightlife, affordability, and proximity to america for say remote work then yeah id choose latin america.

The vendors will leave you alone if you are firm, but they work the sympathy card.

The vendors were calling us cousin and Pelenque because we are black. They will extort you ok the beach tho so be prepared to haggle

We were inundated with rappers but we just kept walking and didn’t engage

Cartagena was more expensive.

I can’t imagine you would find blue mountain coffee here as they grow their own.

Thailand has their own coffee or what they get from Vietnam. If I’m correct Vietnamese coffee is better than blue mountain I’ve heard.

I heard that Vietnamese coffee was shyt despite them growing a lot of it.

It’s supposed to like Brazilan Robusta coffee again tastes like shyt.

I don’t know why my homie in Thailand thinks that I could get him Blue Mountain Coffee here.

He’s a buddy that I’m planning to go into business with so I want to help him I know a white guy in Canada that could get him Jamaican blend.

Have the passport bros ruined it for black men from America? I was in Bogata and Carta in 2017 and had a blast. Didn’t even trick since I was there with a mixed crowd of friends and family. I was prepositioned a bunch though.

That’s before the passport bros blew up the spot so I’m curious how it is now.

It’s pretty much the same.

I only really encountered the passport bros in the airport or glimpsed them in passing. However as I said they roll deep and are very loud and attract a lot of attention. Everyone was looking at them because they were shouting, jumping on the conveyor belt, grabbing on the chicks in the club. It was a lot to witness and kinda over stimulating. It makes you a target because you stand out so much. I get your having a good time but don’t be so conspicuous. I would say go with a group of 3 max.




I stayed in Getsêmani, the vibe is nice and plenty of activities in the centre which is near by. I would recommend staying there as it’s walkable to the docks and to the centre of town. The walled city is also really nice but way more expensive.

I went to Morena origines, it wasn’t bad, there is another one in Boca Grande that we didn’t get to go to.

I went on a food tour and they recommend a tonne of restaurants. Including Cande which was upscale Colombian food, great for a celebration. Espiritu Santos ( a lot of locals eat there) and San Nicholas where the locals seem to go to for celebrations. I can post pics if you would like.

I would also recommend a food tour, I can also post the activity provider of the ones I did. But get tour guide is the app I used: I’ve used it in many countries.

That food tour sounds nice. I gotta check it out when I get up there.

Cassava is in everything and seems
To be their favourite starch next to corn. It’s a great destination if you are Gluten free or a celiac as most of the stuff is made from corn or cassava with little flour.

I just had some waffles made out of Cassava not wheat.

Did you sample white or pink cocaine?

If you take drugs out here you’re asking to be drugged or cheated.

I’m not a druggie so I only saw Tussi ( Pink Cocaine) once. I thought they didn’t have in here in Cali.
Pink Cocaine is Cocaine Plus a bunch of other random chemicals
If you’re fool enough to want to try drugs you better get it from a stripper in a strip club or if you have a reputable connect.

If you get bagged you’re going straight to jail they Love Busting foreigners because they Blame Foreigners for the Drug wars.


Seriously you will do Hard Time If caught with a little baggie.

we could defenitely JBO this thread but if nikkas is going to Colombia for cheap box then let it be cheap.

We could discuss saving money on everything. There was a scandal in Colombia where some Colombian was charged 450,000 pesos for a sea food dinner.

I know the money looks like multicolored monopoly money but that was like 110 bucks

way too expensive for Seafood and in fact there’s only One place where you could spend that much in Cali and that’s for a steak dinner. and that’s mainly for the Mariachi bands not just for the food.

Do you live in Colombia or just visit a hell of a lot? I see you dropping knowledge in just about every Colombian thread.

I guess Cartagena is a lot more built up than before. The flooding still happens tho. The conversion is still pretty cheap for food.

Medellin is very hilly if it says it’s a 4 min walk it’s really 12. I took the train as part of my communa 13 tour, they were clean and the network seemed straight forward.

I’m a girl, so no hoes even though the bf wanted me to smash chicks. If we come together we’re definitely smashing. If he comes without me he’s definitely smashing. I wanna hear all about it too.

Hey props to you for keeping it real. It’s wild to hear chicks this honest.

I wonder how it would be for mixed company to bring fat asses around. I never met a Black woman who didn’t like a Fat ass unless she had a flat ass and was intimidated.

If you bring the BF on a smashcation I’d suggest coming with him especially if he’s Black ( gotta ask in London) and into fat asses bruv might go crazy so you’d have to evaluate the chick but even then I’d just hit the strip club and check her into the Hotel.

That way it’s highly unlikey she’ll drug you or try to get more cash.

You could try to pick up a regular girl in a salsa club but the increased chance of drugging especially in Medellin.

You in the same place judging love

Talking about passport sissing. Most local folks wondering why y’all even there? yall damn near invisible to everyone there.

How you think they view yall ?

Man you ain’t seen hating yet what shorty is doing is light.

I’m pro Brehs having a good time but we all see the Passport Pookies going too hard and need to be reeled in.

To keep it a stack those old school beach events and shyt like Freaknik. That may be an FBA cultural thing but only Sosua allows nikkas to act a pure fool on vacay.



I don’t know if you knew but a nikka decided to smash a hoe on the second floor balcony Right In ThE Walled City

I don’t get it but the Walled city is a tourist spot and a public square it only becomes a hoe strip at night, Maybe the breh didn’t know that but I don’t know why homie thought it was a good Idea to fukk in front of of everyone when he knew cameras was recording

Some nikkas really be doing too much. That’s why they had to partially lock down the Walled city/ Clock Tower for awhile.

Why would you consider it going backwards?

I’m gonna low key answer it for him In europe or Africa depending on where you are you’re kind of a celebrity as a Black A,merican.
You can get love in Latin America But you’re not seen as exotic

You get away from the tatted and BBL’ed chicks in the Tourist areas and you’re risking having to go on 50 dates before you smash.
