>SIR!! SIR!! YOU ARE A FOREIGNER IN COLOMBIA SO YOU MUST CARRY YOUR MOST IMPORTANT TRAVEL DOCUMENT, YOUR PASSPORT, ON YOU AT ALL TIMES!>WHY YES, THIS COUNTRY DOES HAVE A REPUTATION FOR ROBBING TOURISTS ON THE STREET AT GUN POINT, BUT IT IS THE LAW YOU NEED TO CARRY YOUR PASSPORT AT ALL TIMES WHEN YOU GO OUTSIDE!!!!!Why is it only the most dangerous countries that make people do this?
>>2740742They just hate you for posting ugly, retarded, unfunny wojaks
>>2740748there is a lack of good colombian wojaks, unfortunately
>>2740742Columbia is a disgusting shithole
>>2740765>ColombiaBogotá is based. Medellínfags get the rope
>>2740742I've heard more reports of people getting their passports stolen from hostels & hotels in Colombia. Street robbers want your wallet and your phone, that's all.
>have picture of passport on my phone>have passport card>have drivers license>get stopped "here is my passport card, my real one is in the hotel if you need we can go visit there and I can show you"Though I've only ever been stopped once and that was it.>>2740819If you're going to colombia don't fucking stay in a rats den, how much is a good hotel these days like 20/night dollars for something fancy? Fucking hell poor fags deserve shit gone if they roach den it and can't lock shit up
>>2740805>Colombia>sex tourismRip anon
>>2740742>Why is it only the most dangerous countries that make people do this?It’s not. Technically also mandatory to have your passport on your person in Japan, Ukraine (which I guess counts as dangerous now, but wasn’t when I was there years ago), Hungary, and a bunch of other countries I’ve visited. No idea about whether photos on phones or photocopies suffice; the only place I’ve ever been stopped and asked for it was Ukraine (where I had it, and the cops robbed me anyway).I’ve read stories online of Japanese cops escorting people back to their hotels to get their documents, but I don’t know how often it happens, and it didn’t happen to me.
>>2740851Yeah I averaged $8/night in-countryThe rooms weren't that bad, but that was during a time of very low occupancy when many properties were offering steep booking discounts
>>2740851>If you're going to colombia don't fucking stay in a rats den, how much is a good hotel these days like 20/night dollars for something fancy? Fucking hell poor fags deserve shit gone if they roach den it and can't lock shit upTheft is much more likely in an expensive hotel, where cleaners come to your room every day when you are outside.
>>2740742Shithole
>>2740742Latin America is like this because they're really just seething at the fact that they're all lawless shitholes. Having strict border policies gives them an air of credibility as a "real country" and not just an arbitrary map line run by narco gangs the same culture as their neighbors. Tldr it's them trying to say "please take us seriously as a country we don't just export cocaine and migrants."
>>2741141That's almost $1000 a month, the local population live on far less than that. Depends on how much you want to party/drink/travel around, but still, it should be enough.
>>2740742Why do women and incels like you travel to shithole countries?
>>2741402why do you care?
medellin women are gold digging whores from 14literally went on date with girl who claimed she was 18 then after we fug and few days later she admits she lied and -2
>>2740977>t. never travelled abroadThe point of the post is that other countries typically don't do this, only Colombia, retard.
There's possibility I'll be spending Christmas in Cartagena with wife and 3yo. We'll be fine, right? Until we act as complete retards we won't be drugged/robbed/raped, right?Other option is Isla de Margarita in Venezuela.
>>2742061>Cartagena big oof, most overrated city in Colombia
>>2742064Only a week ago I didn't know it exists desu.
>>2742061>Isla de MargaritaIf you want my advice I would stay the fuck away from Venezuela. Lots of crime, still having issues with power cuts, and the dictatorship there has arrested a lot of foreigners on bogus charges to use as bargaining chips. Travelling to Venezuela in the current year is on par with visiting Russia or North Korea anon, just don't.Cartagena is pretty nice. Take normal precautions against crime.But next to Venezuela it's Switzerland in comparison.
I hear Uruguay is nice
>>2742086>stay the fuck away from VenezuelaThat's pretty much what government sites tells us. However if we listen to these sites we would've never visit Sinai or Tanzania or even Colombia.I thought things calmed down in Venezuela, but I've just read that they arrested more foreigners just recently. Cartagena seems nice indeed.
>>2742090yeah southern half of south america (uruguay, argentina, chile) is nicer. way more middle class population, less crime, but it's also more expensive and boring. maybe for a romantic getaway they are ok. for traveling as a single anon looking for pecker play brazil, colombia, peru are way better.
How is cooming in colombia?
>>2742014>The point of the post is that other countries typically don't do this, only Colombia, retard.It was already accurately pointed out above (>>2740923) that a whole lot of other countries also do this, so it’s nowhere near just Colombia nor exclusive to shitholes, retard.
>>2740742All I carry is a bag of the pinko if you know you know I'm banned from colombia I swam in through the swamp I run that place puto watch yourself
I'm thinking about spending ~3 weeks in Colombia, spread it across time in Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena.I mainly wanna have fun, go out, hook up(pay if I don't hook up for free) and do coke, this year was a lot so need a trip like that but doing it solo idk
>>2743256Hope you like getting robbed
>>2743258Robbed of what? Carry shitty old phone with me and little money
>>2740770Why is Medellin bad?
>>2743625>Why is Medellín bad?It's not as bad as Shartagena, but the passport bros are very noticeable and annoying. Prices are going up. Medellín is worth checking out and the landscape is incredible, but I just prefer Bogotá. Better weather (if you like fall/autumn), bigger city with more going on, and lower COL. The airport in Bogotá is a solid hub as well if you are a nomad faggot
>>2743632>but the passport bros are very noticeable and annoying.What’s so bad about them other than costs going up?I cant handle the cold so I guess if I ever go I’d have to go to Medellin.
>>2743642low COL is one of the main reasons people go to Colombia. When too many foreigners come in and drive up the prices, 1) things are more expensive for you 2) things are more expensive for the locals (who begin to hate the tourists for driving up prices) and 3) more crime (like robbery and scoping) directed towards touristsThis is very noticeable in Parque Lleras, which is a complete ripoff and tourist containment zone nowa lot of passport bros are also newfags and have no idea how to behave when traveling abroad. very embarrassing and cringe at times
>>2743647Oh. That makes sense. I’m a newfag. How do I not be cringe or embarrassing?
>>2743652You don't start with Colombia as a newfagGo to one of the designated retard tourist cities like Amsterdam or Bangkok
>>2743658Why not start with Colombia? Why Amsterdam or Bangkok?
>>2743685If you act like a retard in Amsterdam or Bangkok, the worst that will happen is someone will overcharge you or call you a faggot. Acting like a retard in Colombia is infinitely more risky
>>2743894What do you mean acting like a retard? I may be a newfag, but I’m polite. I also know to not flash valuables, not go with strangers, not leave El Poblado (Especially after dark).
>>2743942newfags don't understand the Poblado is unironically one of the most dangerous parts of Medellín. Gangs don't run Poblado, so that's free real estate for all the venezuelans looking for an easy market (you)
why do you want to travel to congolombia? it's a shithole>organized crime>corruption>low security>leftistsDrugs and prostitutes can be obtained more easily in the Netherlands
>>2743961>organized crimelaughable low iq gangs. targetting retarded boomer gringos.>corruptionanywhere in latin americamedellin women are the most beautiful women on earth. i do not care if you think otherwise. sure they are gold diggers but i am not getting the same quality 10/10 teenage girl for same amount of money i am spending in netherlands or europe. dating is cheaper. everything is cheap outside touristy areasif you're a millionaire sure go to western europe to find a model looking woman.
>>2743964The most beautiful women in Latin America are in Argentina,Congolombia is the leader in ugly webcam models
>>2743967Argentina is too far away. yes argentine women are attractive. but you're wrong, my opinion of course but colombian women are superior. and yes most latin camwhores are colombian funny enough but i don't deal with that. i went on a date with a camwhore in medellin once, never saw her again because the whore unironically wanted me to buy her a iphone.i have no experience in argentina so i don't know if dating is easy mode. but medellin is ridiculously easy. i basically have a harem of teenage girls there,
>>2743968Don't listen to that anon, Argentine women are entitled as fuck and crazy, not worth the hassle. The kind that plays mind-games with you and shit-tests you. Even those so-called PUA artists have had trouble there.Sure if you find a good one, she's probably marriage material, but 9 times out of 10 it's not worth it.
>>2743961I bought an oz of solid white for $70 in Medellín. in Amsterdam, that would have gotten me a gram of 5% pure powder from a moroccan. stfu stupid faggot
>>2740742 Colombians just need to rob more blacks, incels, and sexpat boomers the second they step off the plane to deter them ever coming back. I mean steal their, phones, passports, wallets, and clothes literally leaving them buttass naked before they even check-in to a hotel. I would def support this type of operation
>>2744231Are you Colombian? are you mad because gringos are making your city more expensive?
In St Petersburg in 2008 a policeman asked to see my passport.. When I be handed it over he put it into his pocket and looked and me with a shit eating smirk and held out his hand for a bribe to get it back. I met with a friend there who had gotten there via train from China and he said as soon as the crossed the border into Russia things started going to shit with staff getting aggressive and demanding money.
>>2744256 I am a tall, roided, White mofo living in Colombia who is sick of these disrespectful coming over here and fucking shit up for me. Ive been spreading the word in every city I visit w/ certain locals who let's just say share my frustration.
>>2744286why shouldn't you be robbed at well? as a gringo, you are also driving up the prices
>>2744298makes no sense, right? EXCEPT for the fact I support the community including but not limited to hiring locals, donating money, and helping families in need. It's a strange paradox indeed. Most gringos come over here to exploit Colombia in many different ways. Even fegs like that Zach Morris Yt guy who even got Colombian citizenship. He's never given anything to Colombia but has raked in millions of from social media pretending to be some loveable blonde hair, blue eyed gringo. He needs a good slap in the face too
>>2744307that's nice. I'm just going to enjoy the low cost of living, learn Spanish, beautiful views, and occasional line of white.
>>2740742I got shook down in Yokohama by an undercover cop for the same thing I was with my white gf we were going to the cup noodle museum. He was super angry when I told him leaving my passport in my hotel safe was the only legitimate thing to do
I just wanna do coke and bang 10/10s, paid or not, advice plsP.S. Amsterdam is boring and I don't have yellow fever.
>>2744491Based Japanese, petting browns
>>2743945Then which area is safe?Crime heat maps show El Poblado is the lowest in crime and the gov’t won’t let people just raid the wealthiest neighborhood.
>>2744717I'm white When I gave my driver's license he shook his head and fucked off on his walkie talkie for 30 mins. I only just arrived you stupid cunt. Then he tried to walk us to the ramen museum
>>2740805>trannies>cuteoff yourself cocksucker
>>2744529>bang 10/10swhy are you going to the troon-faced woman country then?
>>2744491>cup noodle museumI swear you fucking weeaboo scum do the most retarded shit. Goddamn I hate you.
>>2744778Crime stats are fucking useless when nobody even bothers reporting anything to the police, or police "forget" to file the report to avoid any unsavory news stories. I haven't been since January 2021, on that trip I definitely nooticed the prevalence of lowlifes sizing up every foreigner in El Poblado. Even in midday the insolence of their looks made the hair stand up on my neck. Other foreigners happily chattered away in English pretending not to notice anything. A group is much less likely to be targeted, but we all know /trv/ is 90% solo travelers.
>>2744409Do that elsewhere in COL. Cali if you like salsa dancing. Medellin is toxic.>>2744286>"There's too many tourists here", said the tourist.
>>2744862>Medellín is toxicI know, I'm going to Bogotá
>>2744858Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you need to lash out.
Bump for first hang Colombia experience, cmon papacito
>>2740742https://youtu.be/qc2tOezfl5g?si=lA_2O8HjwSuBbrL6
>>2740742>OP goes to shithole>OP gets mad a shithole antics reap what you sow retard
>>2742014>>2742344Colombia does it because criminal Venezuelans are stinking up the place.
>>2744871>I'm going to Bogotáa lot of insecurity and poor transportation
>>2745390it's not as dangerous as Cali or Medellín and I take an uber everywhere. not a problem
>>2744949i am not watching this. but why do retards get airbnbs with no security or even if it does have security. why do they want to hangout with literal prostitutes? just fuck and tell them to leave.
>>2740742is that actually a law? I went there and never got stopped, what would have happened if I got stopped without my passport?And do they need an original or would a copy do?
>>2745408you can even take transmilenioplenty of weird wypeepo there in some lines, mostly smelly hippies tho
>>2744860Alright, what’s the relatively safe part of Medellin?
>>2740742If Colombia is so popular for its hookers where do you actually know where to go for them? I can’t imagine just walking around some ghetto shithole waiting to get lucky you’ll have a higher chance of just getting robbed. Also dating apps are probably robbery scam traps too. How does one just “go” and get these apparent 10/10 prostitutes here lmao
>>2748403Just be yourself
Just got back to Colombia, damn it feels good. First thing I did after checking in and taking a shower was order some arepas on rappi. I'm exhausted from the travels and will probably crash soon.
>>2748421Uae condom and hide your wallet under the sink
>>2740742
>>2744860>>2744778Poblado is bad with pickpocketing but probably not for anything worse.Of all the 2 times I had to physically pry some dipfucks hand literally out of my pocket, both were in poblado.One was some guy selling sparkly paper bags at like midnight, pressing them against you, with his hand underneath. I was like why would someone want to buy a paper bag at this hour so I put my hand on my pocket and found him like halfway hooked around my phone. He just sort of scampered off.Second was a giant crowd of people on a main street that all bumped into me at once in a far too coordinated fashion, and I instinctively grabbed my pockets, and this time the guy wouldn't let go of my phone, so I elbowed him in the sternum and he screamed quite loudly. I just sort of walked away expecting to get jumped by the whole group but in retrospect they probably avoid any crime above a pickpocketing.This was in a span of like 4 days. Honorable mention to the hostel mate who lost his phone going through the door of the metro. In my cases, they are hoping you're drunk or naive, in his, they're probably counting on you being a bit out of your element.
>>2748403They don't. The hooker chads keep the secrets to themselves and instead they just get drugged and scammed by girls on dating apps and buy stepped on cocaine
>>2748476Oh. I might get caught off guard. Maybe I should get a phone chain and a wallet chain.
>>2748476Medellin has turned into a real hellhole then. Too bad you guys missed it when it was nice.
