In Medellin we call that place el centro, or el hueco. El hueco is close to the biggest drug market in the city so at night when all of the businesses close and everyone goes home there's alot of addicts, and thieves lurking around the lonely dark streets. In the daytime its pretty safe, except for pickpockets, its a very commercial area during the day with many stores where u can buy nearly anything u can think of for a cheap price.
I go there during the day and feel pretty comfortable just chilling on the street and drinking a beer. Once sunset hits though you notice a rush of people start leaving the area and it can even be hard to get a taxi around that time. It gets pretty rough once it is dark outside. I was chillin there one day with my girlfriend buying some stuff and around 6 pm no uber would accept us and we were stuck trying to hunt down a taxi to get out of there. Lot of sketchy looking people and addicts smoking basuco lurking around.
I went there. To be honest it's much like a lot of Latin America in that it's a lot of frontin'. Colombia.. 90% of people are friendly lovely and welcoming. Then you've got 1 or 2% of people who are genuine gangsters and drugs barons but those people don't want the attention and won't bother the general public. Problem is that 8% or so who are lovers simply want to latch onto the reputation of the gangsters and so they try and intimidate people etc but truth is if you get aggressive with them, unlike the genuine gangsters, these people will back down
What I learnt from living in South America is that when the streets are empty, that's when they're at their most dangerous. If the streets are full, you're good, they won't try anything in front of loads of people cos they end up getting shot by members of the public.
In Medellin now. Mostly a safe place. I haven't had any dramas here. Walked some dodgy places late at night off chops. My missus is Colombian. It's an amazing place. We are back to Perth in 2 weeks.
I swear Spanian is a drama queen. UA-cam is full of travel bloggers in the most ‘dangerous’ areas ofColombia, Venezuela, Brazil. He’s making out like he’s in trench warfare.
Lol it cones across like that a little bit for sure but I don't think he is a drama queen he hypes it up for the audience that don't know any better and plus remember he has done alot of prison which makes alot of convicts extra paranoid being out in public period add that is a country with notorious reputation like Colombia 🇨🇴 he is going to unsettled abit lol
It's hard to explain mate I can only speak for Brazil there are bad parts you see on UA-cam then there are no go zones my partner is Brazilian and her brother is a cop and I went with him into a pretty bad area in one of the worst city's in the country Latin America is about common sense for the most part and if your not stupid it can be a amazing holiday
I travelled alone thru Venezuela and Columbia when I was a skinny dreadlocked 28year old. I went out at night partying till the sun came up had a great time.I was always relaxed and spoke decent Spanish, dressed a bit scruffy, never wore jewelry or a watch. It's all about how you act and look !!!
The mrs is from salvador n Colombia. she said Colombia and el salvador is quite safe now mexico is the most dangerous latin country currently love ya tho span glad you finally landed in the americas
I'm no expert on Colombia or Medellin, however, I spent one month traveling all around Colombia in August and never had any issues to speak of. I partied until late and walked around Medellin by myself at 2am and never felt unsafe. I used Uber and always listened to locals for advice when going into the dodgy parts of town
You Can Go Anywhere in The World , And find the same things if your looking for it just go too Alice Springs , plus Cherry pick a few News arthickles and Wollah
it's definitely not. Tourists get robbed, drugged and killed basically weekly in Medellin. I wouldn't go back to any big city there including Cali and Cartagena. Countryside and small colonnial towns are beautiful.
The food is itshay lad. They eat pure fried rubbish and hot dogs randomly in everything. One of the worst cuisines. Venezuelan even worse. That “spicy Latin” allure gives off a false impression. It’s not like Mexican food it sucks. They eat everything with mayonnaise and ketchup like bogans. They also eat soups for no reason, s’house lad straight up.
I would say Medillin is one of the safest these days Cartagena being the safest. It's drastically changed in Medellin over the past 5 years with the police and military presence during the day. @@tobias193
I'm half your size and was alone and I walked around El Centro day and night for a year and I never had a problem. It's all broken down homeless guys. I promise you guys will be ok. Good luck out there
That's my experience too - strung out homeless guys lying like trash bags on the streets aren't exactly matches for able bodied guys who can punch kick or run.
Yo Spanian, would you consider doing ghost hunts again and filming them, I think that would be so cool to see that content from you, a lot of people are in to that stuff, and you probably would get a ton more followers too, I know I would love to see you do some ghost hunt videos, that would be soooo fun and cool!
You amuse me, I’ll be watching more. I experienced your scenario in February this year. Bloody funny seeing someone else go through the same shit. At least you have a buddy. I was solo ..😎🤗
One of the safest cities in Colombia 💁🏽♂️. I’ve been to barrio Santo Domingo Medellín, & was told it’s one of the most dangerous barrios/favelas in Medellin, and we had no trouble at all. But it’s Medellin Colombia, so you never know when you’re walking past a cartel member haha. Make sure to visit Pablo Escobar barrio, And also Communa 13 👌🏽
Not really I'm Colombian been living on Australia for a year where he's at it's shitty part cus it's the city but theres better parts and really pretty
As a Colombian New Yorker I can tell you that it boils down to, if your in the hood at 1am then your looking for trouble. That's anywhere in the world my brother. Like it only happens in Medallo. Please.
The Airbnb's are much nicer than the hotels, I visited earlier this year and I loved medellín, it's a beautiful country in general, you just need to be careful in some places, every country has dodgy areas
I waited for this video, and I'm glad you went to Colombia as many Australians get scared to visit my country just because of the information around the internet. Medellin is a beautiful city, but as you were told, most places in Colombia are better to visit during the day
Everywhere is Dangerous at Night !!! When I Hangout at Night in Medellin I Roll 5 Deep....when I for Dolo I Rolle with Colombian Homeboy who is Bandit He Took me To the Worst Areas just me and him Nobody Messed with us because TheybKnow him, if I was by myself I might of been Robbed. But Overall Medellin is Fun, Everywhere in the World has bad parts.
I think I seen a video a couple years ago of some dude getting his shit stolen by a maid at this hotel, he left his camera running in the corner and caught her lol.
1994 world cup against USA in Los Angeles, CA. He was killed leaving a nightclub 10 days later, not at the airport. It was believed that a cartel group that had a large amount of money on the game executed the hit.
Safe travels Spanian , good on you , I really enjoyed the video . Keep the car windows up when in any car in Colombia , motorbikes can just rob you through the window . From Katherine B in W’loo 2011 . Enjoy .
According to some sources from 2016 and 2018, the average price of a gram of cocaine in Colombia's main cities was around $3.50. However, keep in mind that prices can vary depending on the quality, location, and other factors.
Bro that was a cold ass mini arepa, funny enough I went to the same barber when I landed in Medellin, you just WhatsApp him when you are there. He lives across the street. It's a sweet corn with salty cheese. it's horrible. I literally live in this neighborhood but you need to go to AZAI for breakfast. Healthy but good
Minute 6:03: It’s called an "Arepa." It’s made of corn. That one looks like crap, but I’m sure you’ve had a chance to try a delicious one in Medellin! Where is the 2nd part in Colombia ? 😎
Anything North of Medellin is where you stay away from and stay away from clubs that the party buses take you too. I would 100% not recommend and heard plenty of stories of people getting robbed. Even during the day you could get robbed. Some places are low in crime rates but places more towards the north are where it starts getting sketchy.
Went to get a haircut, barber was closed, so we ended up eating a pile of cheese with chocolate on it... this short video was informative, but not how I thought.
He should go to a nice hotel, and the nice part in Medellin, same shit in Sydney you can find shitty hotels in the fucking CBD. However, very happy he went to Medellin. Missed my country and the arepas.
Big ups to the locals giving advice and keeping Spanian safe over in Colombia.
