Hola Amigos!
I just got back from Colombia. It truly is the land of beautiful women.
Compared to last year, there is a very heavy police presence in Parque Lleras. They have been making a great effort to clean the neighbourhood up professional ladies. I saw far fewer girls there than was the case last year. This might all be for the best as one does not know if the girl they are talking to/taking to your hotel is a minor. The police there would love to make an example out of a foreigner for that. Also, there is the issue of being drugged/robbed and potentially killed by one of these girls. I asked Google AI the following:
------------------
How many foreigners have died in Medellin due to druggings over the past year?
In the past year, authorities in Medellín have reported a significant rise in foreign tourist deaths, many of which involve
involuntary drugging with substances like
scopolamine (often called "Devil's Breath"). While precise total figures for the full 12-month period ending today are pending final forensic reports, here is the breakdown of the most recent confirmed data:
Recent Death Statistics
- Total Deaths in 2024: Authorities recorded 39 foreign tourist deaths in Medellín during 2024.
- Method of Death: A substantial portion of these are linked to drugging and robbery, often following encounters initiated on dating apps.
- Trend in 2024: By mid-June 2024, the city had already seen 29 violent or mysterious tourist deaths, a pace that exceeded one death per week.
- Early 2025 Data: Preliminary reports from local expat communities and media suggest at least 18 foreigner deaths occurred in the first half of 2025, though many are officially classified as natural causes or overdoses while toxicology remains pending.
Key Risk Factors
- Dating Apps: The U.S. Embassy in Bogota issued an emergency warning after eight Americans died in suspicious circumstances over just two months (November–December 2023), most involving dating app meetups.
- Target Demographics: The victims are overwhelmingly male and are often targeted in tourist-heavy districts like El Poblado and Laureles.
- Scopolamine Use: Criminals use this sedative to render victims helpless, allowing them to steal bank cards, cash, and personal belongings. In high doses or when mixed with alcohol, the drug can be fatal.
How many foreigners are estimated to have been drugged without reporting it to the police?
While there is no official "unreported" total, authorities and security experts agree that the actual number of druggings is significantly higher than what is reflected in police records.
Estimated Scope of Underreporting
- National Estimates: The U.S. State Department suggests there are roughly 50,000 scopolamine incidents annually across Colombia.
- Frequency in Medellín: Community reports from platforms like Reddit and Facebook groups suggest incidents may occur several times daily in Medellín alone, even though only a small fraction are officially reported.
- Official vs. Anecdotal: While police recorded roughly 373 scopolamine-related thefts in early 2023, experts note that most victims do not go to the police.

All I'm saying is be careful out there. Don't go on dating apps, don't pick up girls in Parque Lleras, don't bring girls home from nightclubs. It's not worth it.
Anyhoo! Let's get to the more cheery stuff! I only visited casas while I was there. Here are the ones I went to while I was there:
Ella Erotic (Great place, however they no longer do a presentation of the girls for the client to choose from. That earns a huge X mark from me.

Eclipse (I hooked up with one girl there, very pretty)
The Garden (Youngish girls, from 18 to 21-all very hot)
https://t.me/TheGarden_spaForMen
Angeles Spa (This place has a lot of girls)
Santorini House ( I found this place by going to
https://co.mileroticos.com/, setting it to:

Then click on Profiles with the Same Phone:

If you see a lot of girls when you do this, you have most likely found a casa. This place had a lot of pretty girls. I had a one-hour threesome there for $150????
Golden House
I hooked up with two girls there. One was hot, one not so much.

On a side note, I strongly urge you if you are landing Bogota, when you get to immigration-don't worry about standing in line. Walk up to to the very front of the cue and find out where it leads. It is very chaotic and disorganized there.
Overall, I had a fantastic trip!
