Colombia Nightlife: The No‑Bullshit Survival Manual for Men – Author’s Edition
Colombia Nightlife Survival Guide: Author’s Edition is a field‑tested Colombia nightlife survival manual for men who want fun, intimacy, and adrenaline without waking up robbed, drugged, or in jail. Written by veteran U.S. Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Peter J. Moreno, Jr., this Author’s Edition distills real operational time on the ground into Level 3 tactics, red‑flag profiles, and deployment‑ready checklists so you can move through Medellín, Bogotá, Cartagena, and beyond like your own security detail.
Why This Guide Hits Different
Built from on‑the‑ground experience in Colombia’s conflict zones, high‑risk barrios, and nightlife corridors under “Plan Colombia,” not from tourist blogs or armchair theory.
Shows you exactly how predators script robberies, scopolamine druggings, honey traps, overcharging schemes, express kidnappings, and extortion plays – and how to kill those scripts before they ever touch you.
Compresses force‑protection habits, cultural intelligence, and nightlife tradecraft into blunt, repeatable routines you can run jet-lagged, half buzzed, and under pressure tonight.
The Power of Colonel Santiago’s Foreword
The foreword is written by Colonel Stephen P. Santiago, USMC (Ret.), a combat veteran, former lead civil affairs planner at U.S. Southern Command, former Assistant Deputy Director of Operations at U.S. Central Command, and longtime operational law attorney.
When an officer of his caliber – whose career has revolved around identifying and mitigating risk with lives on the line – vouches that “complacency is a killer” and that this book gives you the same kind of preparation and protocols used by combat professionals, it signals that this is not entertainment; it is a serious risk‑reduction tool.
What You Get Inside
Protocol‑driven playbook: Nine core protocols that walk you from pre‑night planning, movement, venue selection, and app/dating encounters through robberies, druggings, express kidnappings, and crisis response.
Deployment‑ready checklists: Screenshot‑able and printable checklists, rapid‑reference “fixes,” and an Incident Decision Tree so you never have to improvise your response when things go sideways.
ROE (Rules of Engagement) by Colonel Santiago: A full tactical framework on terrain mapping, chokepoint recognition, safe harbors, rally points, and group coordination, adapted from military deployments to Colombian nightlife operations.
Who This Is For (And Not For)
Designed for adult men who are going to step into Colombia’s bars, clubs, after‑hours venues, red‑light zones, and dating‑app ecosystem and want to dramatically reduce their odds of being robbed, drugged, extorted, or worse.
It is not a tourist brochure, moral lecture, or generic travel guide; it is a no‑bullshit field manual that assumes you will make your own choices and gives you the tools to survive them while respecting Colombian law, culture, and human dignity.
Why You Should Buy It Now
Colombia’s nightlife is more crowded, app‑driven, and predator‑dense than ever, and the casualty count in clubs, rentals, and taxis climbs every year – even among experienced professionals.
Treat this guide as a pre‑deployment asset, not a souvenir; if you are planning Medellín, Bogotá, Cartagena, or Cali, this book is the difference between walking in like a payday and moving like a low‑yield, hard‑to‑hit target who comes home with stories instead of becoming a cautionary headline.
