I want to go…worth it?

yeah its dope, mix of Salsa, Traditional Cumbia, and they had a Jazz band fro New Orleans. Not overrun will Feminism like AfroPunk.

Colombia is the 2nd Blackest Country in South America.

And any nikka going to Choco to trick asking to be kidnapped lol

Yes nikkas be trying bash the bush to get some tush. Is there p*ssy in Quibdo? sure is they slinging it in the open like that? No. Can you link with local thotties? Sure

Quibdo is turned up go outside where these nikkas is fliming and you’re in FARC land.


But I learned that other than robbery crews who target foriegners most Colombians that get jacked are part of a targeted jacking.


There’s no Pablo running around with billions in unexplained bread they give some of it away to people that they know those people buy shyt and are clocked and get robbed.

If you’re not in the drug game or breaking the laws that the guerrillas set up ( for some reason they don’t like people to roll their windows in their cars halfway down it’s either all the way down or all the way up) you’re okay. These dudes were fliming openly without any problems.

Half of them probably know ED O.G. the lawyer in Quibdo he’s the Man there and in Cali and Medellin.

I used to watch Choco news when I was trying to learn Spanish. It didn't seem like there was a lot there except heat and humidity.

Low key it’s not much too Quibdo but I thought it was a really small jungle town. That’s not the case but you might have issues getting non Colombian food down there.

For the average tourist they’d be good in Cali especially outside of the Quibdo festival.

yeah I was gonna go to San PAcho last year and a shorty I`m cool with from there was like "my Fam from there and I don't even go" lol, I'll probably go this year but it will be a super short trip. But yeah it's more so nothing there, a lot of the Black folks in Medellin are from there and only go to see family. Being in Quidbo is like going to a mid sized West African city lol

 

[Wiseborn]

Both my colombian homies black and white alike trying to get a breh to visit



Are they selling me a dream

no.

 

[Wiseborn]

Yeah I saw this other video of this white dude who got robbed TWICE on two different tripes to Medellin. He’s not going back.

Cacs ( and Blacks) be on dummy timing. If you want to trick so bad do it in a brothel There’s probably several in Choco.

The issue is brehs anc cacs be trying to trick with extra steps they link with a cutie and she gives him the fee if she’s honest or she sets him up to be robbed.

The wild thing about Colombia is all those drug mobs became low level gangs so they’re expert of clocking a stupid foreigner and lining him up.

nikkas have gotten clocked from the airport followed then. robbed.

 

[Wiseborn]

yeah its like one of the rainiest parts of the world and really underdeveloped on the pacific coast of Colombia.

Yep rainy season just ended went from raining almost everyday to raining a couple of times a week for short periods.

Super undeveloped outside of Buenaventura, Tamaco and Quibdo you go to Guapi and outside of the pueblo part people get around on boats not the road.

The road from Quibdo goes to Medellin so people from Choco go to Medellin to go to highschool or to the hospital or to get a job.

Everyone outside of Choco and Uraba comes to Cali for the same reasons.

My Man Luis is from El Mina in Choco his brother was killed by the gulf clan and they later asked him to join and dude said he’d never step foot in Quibdo because it was too dangerous.

I think El Mina is controlled by the Gulf clan completely.

 

[Wiseborn]

I want to go…worth it?

You asked him but I’d say worth it especially during their festival.

Link with ED O.G. if and when you touch down he knows everyone in town.

nikkas also take that road to the Darien straight. Seem a bunch young nikkas on a truck blasting music with bags heading north

 

[Wiseborn]

You mean the Petronio absolutely worth it.

I don’t want to dox myself but you could hit me when you come down.

There maybe over 25 to 30K Black folks at the festival drinking homemade liquor AND NOT ONE FIGHT. No real security yet no issues meanwhile in the states something like this happens and 25 people get shot.

The Veep was walking through the crowds maybe a 6 to 8 man security detail and again no issues.

There’s a guy on this board who was at the Quibdo festival and the fine ass Choco governor was there and took a picture with him and my partnas no real security

That’s wild considering on the other side of the river you have Farc guerillas who are supposed to be trying to kill her.


What I hear is that the government and the guerillas talk andthe Government isn’t really trying to stop the drug trade and the Guerillas are not trying to take over the government for real for real.

Yep major goon road outside of Quibdo you got nikkas transporting drugs and Venezuelans out to Panama.
