Solo El Centro | Medellin’s Calle 52 and Plaza Botero 🇨🇴

Join me on a walking tour in Medellin's dangerous El Centro. Our drug and prostitute filled journey begins in the gated area of Plaza Bolivar. Where we’ll stroll among the many graffiti covered sculptures by Fernando Botero.
From there we'll leave the protection of the fenced in plaza and turn down the notorious Calle 52. With my camera clutched to my chest, and covered by my hand, we’ll explore the raunchy neighborhood known as El Centro, Medellin’s most dangerous neighborhood.

[@logannelson9989]

That didn't seem bad at all, dude. It just looked people going about their business in the 3rd world. There weren't exactly predators eyeing you.

[@hhh1200]

it's two dudes on a moto you have to worry. some of those girls are druggers as in drug you. you have to find that out for yourself. outside of that no one has time for you b/c they have their own lives

[@charlesbeaudelaire3827]

LOL. I've never seen such a quiet place.....You're great

[@BuffertheTourist]

😊 thank you

[@suckthis1152]

I walk that street at 3 am in the middle of the night it’s not scary trust me

[@xm47ecr36]

Maybe it's you that's the thief 😂

[@JaimeHernandez-jo2dr]

Have been to Oakland ca, now that dangerous!

[@chuchuchutrain6735]

yeah, that`s definitely NOT the most dangerous street in Medellín, not even in downtown Medellín. Trust me bro, Im from Medellín. btw, the girls saw you like an old friend/client. I see you are very busy there, parcero.

[@TravelTherapy022]

I m going to Medellín in April 19th , can i go there safely ? y las chicas in la veracruz?

[@ChrisBCartagena]

Nice tour of Botero, past the No Ratas Church and down the perfectly safe Cundinmarca ave.

[@markwiltshire4951]

He donated them to The city apparently they are worth 2 million each apparently this is why he donated them to stop them from being stolen 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@double07r21]

What camera brand /model you are using?

[@BuffertheTourist]

Gopro 11

[@gvbalajee]

Wonderful Medellin , Colombian friends and girls

[@chapman1964]

What did you do with your bike?

[@BuffertheTourist]

I left it home for this one. I’ve been traveling around Colombia by bus. Probably won’t do another bike tour until the fall.

[@alexmorgan3435]

@@BuffertheTourist I was wondering this as well. Maybe I missed something, but was looking forward to your observations from the saddle.

[@Lisa4U7Aaron_Modahl]

East Colfax, Denver Colorado...looks exactly like this, minus the great random fruit stands. But we have Hatch Chili's. Cosmopolitan.

[@hhh1200]

women in colorado are ugly. i went to school boulder. never going back to that crappy state.

[@elterrifico9522]

How’s your Spanish?

[@BuffertheTourist]

Terrible. Barely enough to get by.

[@f.t.lauder7594]

I like the video, but don't like the bogus commentary about how dangerous or craziest it is. That street is not dangerous/crazy. Go to Bello, get a taste of more. So, great, keep doing videos, but don't paint false truths.

[@BuffertheTourist]

Thanks. At the end I do comment how I actually didn't find it that dangerous.

[@nickramos231]

The crime rate is over twice that of New York. Don’t sugar coat it

[@sandilekunene2221]

It very rare to see such more woman on the street in South Africa, I'm a single guy this seems like a place to be😍😍😎😊 Why are the girls in the street are they selling or they are just social

[@BuffertheTourist]

They’re selling. It’s about $12 for 15 minutes

[@ranger1752]

Good post. Thank you! What flight airline did you use from Bogota and the approximate cost?

[@xm47ecr36]

If you don't have money you shouldn't be traveling lol😂

[@karma9007]

13:34 shes totally drained.

[@BuffertheTourist]

I just went back and checked it out. Yep. A lot of lost souls in that neighborhood.

[@gameromally4266]

Way more of this street please.

[@Verdadesincomodaspr]

once you go there , you are hooked lol

[@alexmorgan3435]

Paris, France. Is there another Paris? You need to do what famous French photographer Cartier Bresson used to do to get his street shots. He walked around wearing a large mac with a hole in the front of it through which his camera lens was pointing. He set the aperture at f22 or f32 so pretty much everything would be in focus and then just fired the shutter when he had his shot. Those streets didn't look so scary. Probably a different proposition at night though.

[@BuffertheTourist]

Paris, Texas and you’re right. It didn’t seem bad at all, but it does have a reputation.

[@betoloche]

You should go to the Bronx

[@MrAwepu844]

nice lineup at 12:52

[@LandscapeMaster33]

3:59 its that lady again. Saw a video with her. She's a sweety.!

[@Kelsiervin]

what video

[@MrAwepu844]

whether it's medellin or guate city. you seem, like me, drawn to the areas with "the scantily clad women". jaja some nice ones in this walk through, though I like visiting the nearby "casas" to try out the local talent

[@BuffertheTourist]

I plead the 5th

[@Ghostshadow888]

Let me guess, your favorite word is “numerous”

[@BuffertheTourist]

I have numerous favorite words, but in this video definitely yes. Thanks for noticing.

[@larryfilbeck7067]

Expected better i saw nothing but hogs😮

[@BuffertheTourist]

What expect for $12 a session

[@mwhitehall75]

Your comment about the women demonstrates a lot about you. Yuck!

[@Andrew-cg2zl]

great video

[@BuffertheTourist]

Thanks

[@jameskim796]

I'm sorry I don't agree with this video. He did not go down 2 blocks. And then 2 blocks 2 the right, there are thousands of homeless people there doing drugs and everything litter all over the place. This is nothing like what I saw what he showed in The video. is nothing compared to what I saw 2 days ago. What he showed was a 2 being dangerous what I saw was a 5 on a 1-5. I traveled to dangerous places in bogota and this was nothing compared to where I travel to. And Santa Fe Bogota Santa Fe Bogota was like a 3 and a 1/2 the most and this place a few block over is definitely a 5 on a 1-5

[@simongordon2158]

You sure know the streets 😅

[@BuffertheTourist]

The real OG 👑🌎

[@thomasgrochot3701]

So dangerous 🤦😂😂😂😂

[@MSmith-mb1ut]

Nobody even looks at the gringo with the camera. Must be becoming more normal as tourism picks up.

[@BuffertheTourist]

Honestly I can't understand why tourism is picking up. Why would any “gringo” go to the most unwelcoming country on the planet.

[@josephr9851]

Oye parsero let's meet estacion san Antonio 7pm monday we like to welcome you to medellin be careful many forginers being murdered we will take care of you see you soon amigo

[@josephr9851]

Good morning mi friend we like to welcome you to medellin let's meet estacion san Antonio 7pm tonight be careful many forginers being murdered we will take care of you thanks for show you face see you soon

[@BuffertheTourist]

Do you understand the video isn’t edited? It’s me walking down the street. All I’m doing is recording what I see. Do you want to censor me? If you don’t like it, maybe you should do something to change it. Making empty threats on KZbin isn’t going to help your community or anyone. It’s a pathetic waste of time, yours and mine. The worse thing I say is that it’s dangerous. Your response is some weird veiled death threat. Hello! Are you the big defender of all things Medellin? Are you going to save the city? Then do it! Turn off your computer and get out there and make a difference!
