View Full Version : Cartagena Lists
The best penthouse in Laguito is rented by Juan Ventura. You can see photos of it here http://www.cartagenapenthouse.com/penttour
The entire penthouse is $300 a night which is for all three rooms not just the master suite. A full time maid/chef/helper is included with the penthouse at no additional charge. It is also the only ocean front penthouse with a private hot tub on the roof.
Any of the girls on the XTR website can be had for $100 a day. You can find them in LDV which is a 5 minute walk from the penthouse. I am talking the exact girls, not ones who look like them. I would be more than happy to give you some of their private cell numbers so you can even call them beforehand. None of these girls are new, they have been in LDV for years. If you want two then it would be $200 a day. Three would be $300 a day.
So for the $1200 a day price you want to pay you could have the entire penthouse plus NINE (YES NINE) full time girls fucking you 24 hours a day. You could put three in each bedroom of the penthouse and rotate them as needed.
There are also plenty of English speaking helpers around Cartagena who will be more than happy to be your personal slave for $20 a day. You could have 8 full time girls, and 5 personal slaves running around getting you things for $1200 a day.
Makes me wonder about some people.
....my 1,200 square foot Master Suite in the "Penthouse" (I'm not staying at their Beach House), but all my food, alcohol, transportation, and such.
The beach house is close to the airport. It is not walking distance to anything nice. I would not call that area dangerous but it is not as safe as Laguito. I think the beach house likes it up there so they can isolate their clients from everything else so the clients never learn how much they are over paying.
All the girls at the beach house work at LDV as well. Basically, the beach house provides $100 accommodation plus a $100 girl for $1200. They are marking up the price $1000. I can provide phone numbers to some of the girls on the XBH website and they will be more than happy to come to any hotel. Once you got one, she will know how to contact all the others.
But if the guy wants to pay a pimp $1000 that is his own business.
It sounds like you are very set on the XBH option, so I will not try very hard to stop you. Like Cachorro I'm curious about it's location and I hope you will add that to your report.

Andres writes, "First, if you are looking for "la crème de la crème" and thus not caring much about ISG postings and usual ISG members objectives, why bothering posting here?". First, I DO care about ISG postings.... that's why I read them and why I chose to respond with a full explanation (and why I'm responding here). Secondly, I like to share my experiences with others who might be interested, and that's why I write such detailed trip reports. Take a look at my posts. They're full of real information, real pictures, and tips that I've learned from experience. You won't find ANY that are nothing more than telling someone else what an idiot they are because of what they are planning or have done. My reports and responses to others' questions are precisely the essence of what the ISG is about; information sharing about this subject with like-minded people. Take a look at my first post in this thread. It was simply "hey, I'm planning on doing this... anyone want to join me?"
You also wrote, "Second, if you make that much money, why not hiring a stunning escort at home to get rid of your urges? Third, if you are so sure of your rationale of your behaviors, why bothering in explaining mongers about it?"
Well, I DO see "stunning escorts" at home. Regularly in fact, and I often pay anywhere from $200 to $400 per hour for the privilege and I never get less than 2 hours. The XBH is an INCREDIBLE deal for me, given what it normally costs me at home. And your third point makes, I am sorry to say, no sense to me. I offered my reasons to my fellow punters as frankly and honestly as I could. I am indeed "sure" of my reasons. You may or may not agree with them. I have no heartache with that. I was intending to post a full report on my trip afterwards. You can read it and look at the pictures or not; that'll be up to you. If you're so concerned about the purpose and protocols of the ISG, check out the rules regarding flaming.
Interesting how different people see matters on a different way.
Since my purpose of participating at ISG is to collect info and share insights, I wouldn't answer agressively to others or mention that I wouldn't study the Cartagena board if going there, but I can understand that not everybody may do so.
Also, it seems that we consider the idea of "urge" differently. In my case it's more of a physical need, which doesn't seem to be in your case since you can bang top models back home regularly. Maybe you are looking for something special in CTG.
I second the comment of Winner71 regarding letting people know of your resources when going to LatAm. It's dangerous.
Andres
You always get screwed spending dollars rather than pesos. Get your pesos from an ATM for the best rate.
The Santa Clara is the class of CTG. However, you have to be discrete about the girls. High class Colombians frown on our kind of activity. The men all engage in it, of course. But they do so very discretely. They prefer drive-in love hotels where you don't even get out of the car until the garage door closes.
My guess is that, if you come in at 2:00 am with a couple of drunken putas, you will not get past the front desk. And it won't matter how much you are spending for the room.

I do know one guy who was moving 3 girls through either Santa Clara or Hotel Charleston Cartagena, either way, he was spending less than Tripp and living better. In my experience, if you've already paid for the extra person, it's very difficult for the concierge to object.
If I moved from a suite down to a normal room, the price tag on my last post is cut in half, around $800 per day - and I really think you would need to work at it in order to spend that much. I know this guy chipped in some money to buy the girls clothes, a la "Pretty Woman", so the nicer clothes may have helped him get the girls through the door. The girls loved it, of course.
At any rate, if you've got the money and want to spend it, you should not stay in Crespo. It's like going to New York and staying in Newark.

I assumed this penthouse was in Boca Grande or Laguito. If not, I would certainly change my plans. Obvioulsly I would never spend that kind of cash. But now you are talking about being way outside the tourist zone.

Personally I think you'd be better off staying at the place you are staying for 1 night, get the numbers of your favorite 3 chicas and invite them with you to a stay at say a Decameron in San Andreas for 5 days. Money much better spent, the chicas will be really competing for you hoping to be your novia, and it would be a heck of a lot less expensive.. oh and you could actually pay the chicas more than the $50/day max that they are probably recieving out of your $1000/day. If you are going to Cartagena because there is a beach you are going to be disappointed. You can find deals with airfare and hotel to San Andreas and stays at the Decameron for pretty cheap (compared to what you are spending). I will say that if you've never made love to a Colombiana you are in for a real treat... the best experience you will have ever had. You take 3 chicas to San Andreas... my friend you would be in heaven.... especially if all 3 of them really dig you.
I have read through your previous posts. I am really looking forward to reading your posts on Colombia. I think you are going to be in awe at the difference in quality of the chicas versus your mongering trips to DR and elsewhere... assuming your hotel does their work and brings you quality chicas. Even if they don't.. you seem resourceful enough to find them on your own.
Hey WINNER ... you're absolutely corecto amigo IMHO ... however, not just anyone can hit it off and take chica (s) on a vacation like that ... San Andres or whatever.
You have to have some sort of chemestry with the chica (s). I would think speaking at least passable spanish required.
Of course about any of them would jump at the chance to go, it just wouldn't be that great if it was just about the money for them.
You know as well as I do, the fee you pay the chica has ABSOLUTELY nada, nothing to do with the quality of her performance.
Of course your plata ... money ... will get her to leave with you or get you in the door (ie .. the resort spoken about here recently), but it guarantees nothing except the chica will be there.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with guys going to resorts lke this or going to LDV or wherever and throwing around their money with chicas.
We all know there are widely varied skill levels in the hunt for chicas :)
I can remember my first days mongering in the casas of Guatemala, years ago.
I spoke no spanish but I'm sure the chicas were saying .... "a que bueno, el gringo bobo a venido de nuevo"
Basically, the dumb gringo is back ... jajajaja.
As with most things in life ... experience is key.
Suerte amigo! I'm off to Cali again tonite :)
Guatemala???? That's pretty much where I learned (mastered) Spanish 17 years ago. Antigua Guatemala. Spent 3 months there. 6 weeks intensively studying Spanish...7 hours a day 1 on 1 instruction and 6 weeks traveling around and playing with chicas :-) It cost me $3US to get laid in Guatemala. I bet things have changed. Ah.. and I had a pretty nice g/f from Esquipulas that I met in Antigua.
All my adventures in Colombia.. I have to admit my most frightening moment in a foreign country was in Guatemala.... taking a bus from Tikal down to Guatemala City. I don't know what the roads are like now, but alot of the road was pretty much dirt roads. Major rain storm in the middle of the night while I was on the bus. The roads were washed out... i.e. there were no roads. We were stopped and the road washed out from under us and we started falling. We must have plunged 50 yards before we hit ground and were stuck between the side of like a mountain and a tree.
I had some great times in Guatemala, back when I was too young to even think something was dangerous. Those were the days.
Suerte en Cali.

At any rate, if you've got the money and want to spend it, you should not stay in Crespo. It's like going to New York and staying in Newark.
Jelly, there are some nice parts in the Crespo area. Crespo is where the Club Campestre is, for example.
The new beachfront construction going up in la Boquilla looks great. Better than anything in Laguito (with the possible exception of the Hilton). Laguito has nothing special at all for me. Nothing.
The only problems with la Boquilla is that it's still a major construction zone, it's right up alongside the ghetto and it's not walking distance to anything. The new apartments are more suited to the very rich Colombian way of living where everything is domicilios and trips in the car (SUV, naturally).
You are mixing up the terms "penthouse" and "beach house".
The penthouse Juan rents http://www.cartagenapenthouse.com/penttour is on the beach in Laguito within a short walking distance to LDV and I think about 3-4 buildings from the Hilton hotel.
The "beach house" that is charging the crazy price on the XBH site is located by the airport, far away from the action and far away from anything to walk to. Like I said, I am sure the beach house is trying to isolate their clients from seeing how cheap the girls can be without the $1000 markup.
I assumed this penthouse was in Boca Grande or Laguito. If not, I would certainly change my plans. Obviously I would never spend that kind of cash. But now you are talking about being way outside the tourist zone.
not really. I understand you are referring to the "penthouse" that Juan rents. However, Tripp also stated beachhouse and then stated that he's actually staying in their "penthouse" not the beachhouse.. .thus I used the term penthouse. No clue really where this "penthouse" is. How funny it would be if it's Juan's penthouse and he's paying a hefty tab extra just for the XBH staff to act as the middle-man for Juan's apartment.
Also, that price includes (in addition to the girls) not only my 1,200 square foot Master Suite in the "Penthouse" (I'm not staying at their Beach House), but all my food, alcohol, transportation, and such

That is funny you mention that because at one time the penthouse Juan rents was on XBH's website for $1200 per room although the whole penthouse can be rented for $300. This was being done without telling Juan nor the owner of the penthouse. When the owner found out he had the photos removed from the XBH website and canceled all reservations made by XBH. So it would be REALLY funny if this guy thinks he is staying in Juan's penthouse because the owner said anyone from XBH will find themselves standing on the street. Juan is the only agent who rents the penthouse and it is done without middlemen other than Juan.
How funny it would be if it's Juan's penthouse and he's paying a hefty tab extra just for the XBH staff to act as the middle-man for Juan's apartment.
Well, (and this is difficult to admit), perhaps I should have done this differently.
Oh well.... Live and learn. Que Lastima
I am not sure how to do this since I cannot PM someone but I can provide some of the girls phone number from the XBH site. Once you get one number they will call whichever one you want since they all know each other. Alternatively, just look for one at LDV and ask her for the number of the girl you want. Most of those girls can be had for 100-150, 000 pesos ($47-$71) for an hour. But the over night price is often not much more. I would go with offering them $100 for all night and I bet most will take it. There will also be even better girls in LDV for the same price. When you hear guys talking about $100 an hour it is only because they do not know how to talk to the girls. The girls can see stupid written across their heads so they ask for $100 an hour. I can say with 100% certainty that XBH is not paying them more than $100 all night so they will not expect more from you unless you do something foolish like tell them you were about to pay XBH $1200 to be with them. In that case, I bet they would ask for $800 or so.

You are right. I really like new Morros apartments - the white building that went up last year. That is a nice "beach house".
I'm a big fan of that area in general; Las Americas is probably the best kiteboarding spot, in my opinion, in the world - when you factor in the Cartagena nightlife - the bugs might be an issue when there is no wind and it's a little out-of-the-way. No big deal.
I like Crespo and have eyeballed a lot of the buildings over there. Off the main street, on the sea-side it seems like a nice area. Anyway, I was trying to make a point, not sure those were the best words, but I think it's a dying subject right now....

It is a huge error to go looking for any particular chica. Just go out onto the street and see who is there. You can easily meet the friends of the ones you find.
I have a black book a mile long but rarely use it. However, if you enjoy "dates" who show up 2 hours late or not at all, feel free to call them.
Most of the girls who walk the streets near your apartment, Tom, are black, have huge bellies with baby stretch marks, need a shower from walking the streets all day, and have alot of scars from where their pimps/boyfriends have cut them with knives to keep them in line.
If you are really desperate, go down to the corner near the gate guard stand for the Hilton, there are always a few black girls on that corner willing to do anything for a meal.
I can see that you haven't spent much time in Laguito. I can think of 2 who are black, and they are sweethearts. There is one stunner of Philipino extraction who you could consider black. The majority of them are white and hot.
There are some like you describe, but they frequent San Martin in Bocagrande. And I never touch them. I have lived here for 4 years and have become very particular. I only have so many bullets.
You are 100% wrong about CTG, Laquito etc....
Aren't you the guy whom had dinner with the hero of the Hotel Del rey, the Tony Lama Butch of them all ? Thank God the goon is packing up.........

Aren't you the guy whom had dinner with the hero of the Hotel Del rey, the Tony Lama Butch of them all ? Thank God the goon is packing up.........Yes, close, I had lunch with Hotel Del Rey's famous owner, John at the Cartagena Yacht club, steaks by the way. He had his driver take us in the Pickup truck and John paid, by the way. BTW he happens to be from Minnesota, like me, owned a few nightclubs in St. Cloud and Brainerd, and he studied business at a well known college where I was.
Is goon a term like "billionaire?"

Pretty funny amigo ... I learned spanish in the casas (de citas) in Guatemala City ... also intensive :) jajajaja.
Yep, I'm hanging out in Cali a bit now, but met a stunner in Barranquilla, sweet and beautiful, so I have go back for more :) Claro!
To make this post relevant to Cartagena, I will say that I'll be making a side trip there to check out the scene.
Haven't been there for a couple years ... I'll have to re-train the LDV chicas .... :) I'm up for the job!
Suerte!

Tripp's report is refreshing and candid. He's got a few bucks more than the average guy and he intends to have fun. More power to him.
Unfortunately, the ascendant low-rent crowd and the 'value' guys will never see it that way. At best, their belief in saving a buck rises to the level of zealotry and to them, Tripp is a heretic; at worst, and perhaps closer to the truth...they're jealous of his lifestyle.
A large percentage of the posts on the Board deal with prices and bargains etc. So much so, that its practically de rigeur to assume that everyone's looking for a bargain first, whether its accommodation or girls--and a piece of ass second. Not so fast, cheapskates! Some of us like a five-star hotel with a nice pool, fine wine and well-dressed girls. Its what we get at home, so why accept anything less while on vacation? If you value guys spent half the time trying to EARN money that you spend chiselling, why, you just might be hanging out with Tripp.
Just to show that I'm not a heartless capitalist, I'd like to share a money-saving tip with you guys, Jelly.. Kungfu...etc: I've heard that its possible to take a burro from Boca Grand to the Old Town for one dollar us! Yup, you read correctly. Regular taxis are four or five dollars as I recall. Imagine how much it is possible to save? It might be difficult to get a chica on the back of the donkey at the same time so it might call for some ingenuity on your parts, but I'm sure you'll find a way.
Don
A taxi from Bocogrande to the Old City would be 4000 pesos which is less than $2.00 with today's exchange rate. There are no donkeys so you have heard wrong. There are horses though but they are much more expensive.

From my point of view, the most useful tips I can get from ISG are the bargains and current prices, the quality of services of some ladies, and the operational coordinates to avoid danger and to simplify the vacation.
Other guys may have different objectives. Some of them may be jealous of affluent mongers and then start flame wars, some would look for approval trying to convince others how successful they are, some would post 100 messages with no value just for somebody reading them, etc.
If a monger can spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars in mongering, why bothering reading ISG? You may ask the 5-star hotel concierge a "book" of the finest ladies and he can find you some premium gem for a hefty commission. After all, most of the very high income guys are extremely busy and deal with stuff that requires a lot of attention and that doesn't allow for many mistakes. No much time for reading a board that mainly deals with searching for the inexpensive cutie.
As a "healthy measure", I would avoid talking about income here. It doesn't add anything of value for the mongering experience.
Andres
If sombody wishs to pay more than going rate, I don't see the problem, just think of it as charity from a developed Country to a developing one.
If people wish to go the cheap route, Colombia is very large and they will have no problem finding cheap pussy here, even if the foreigners push up the prices in a few locations like the LDV, there are 10,000s of other locations to pick up pussy from.

I went through some of your trip report history. It's obvious that you do contribute on this forum, but you also have a lot of reports deleted by admin. I don't have time to waste on negative games like that. I don't see much point to it.
If you want to get in line and pay $400+ for a girl everyone else is nailing for $100 ($35 ST), I'll buy you a drink for the road and pay for the taxi to get you there. If you are not able to make the girl happy and need a donkey for an assist, you can give me a call about that, too.
JD
Hey Jelly... doesn't this seem perhaps a bit too serious a response to a guy who was obviously just kidding around? I mean, you researched his previous reports so you could let everyone know that he's had a few that were deleted?
Anyway, I'd be willing to accept the free drink and the taxi fare, cause I'm gonna need it after I pay for my XBH trip.
And by the way, I earned enough money while I was writing this post to purchase a small island in the Caribbean, and a biologically correct Britney Spears blow-up doll. Of course, now someone's gonna tell me that I could have gotten a Jennifer Lopez blow-up doll for like a quarter of the price.

I just wanted to have an idea about Dashing Don. I remember reading some of his reports, which I thought were very good - so I did not understand why he was baiting me here. Reading some of his posts was a reality check for me.
At any rate, for me, it's not about how much you can afford to pay - it's about how much you are being charged. You seem like an upbeat guy and I'm honestly just telling you what I would tell any of my friends with a constrained amount of time, who were not overwhelming concerned about budget. I get worked up about efficient markets and the free flow of information.
Anyway, for what it is worth, I'd throw in the extra coin for the J. Lo doll as you never can tell when the Britney doll is going to want to shave her head and go into rehab.

Hey Jelly,
I'm sure we're in sync, man, and I DO appreciate the advice. I HAVE spoken with the XBH guys about the disparity, and I'm satsified with what they've done for me as the result, though I am honor-bound not to reveal it.
As for Don, I really think he was just kidding around, and didn't intend to actually insult anyone. Besides, I was very appreciative of the kind words and support he gave me in earlier posts. :-)
and BTW, I've cancelled the Britney Doll and decided to go all out and order the Jessica Alba doll. The Britney Doll, according to Consumer Reports, has had a terrible repair history, and tends to bloat up when one ejaculates in her biologically correct twat. Besides, her resale value is miserable.
I just wanted to have an idea about Dashing Don. I remember reading some of his reports, which I thought were very good - so I did not understand why he was baiting me here. Reading some of his posts was a reality check for me.
At any rate, for me, it's not about how much you can afford to pay - it's about how much you are being charged. You seem like an upbeat guy and I'm honestly just telling you what I would tell any of my friends with a constrained amount of time, who were not overwhelming concerned about budget. I get worked up about efficient markets and the free flow of information.
Anyway, for what it is worth, I'd throw in the extra coin for the J. Lo doll as you never can tell when the Britney doll is going to want to shave her head and go into rehab.
not that it matters (i get the main point, about how inexpensive accomodations are in cartagena), but i'm pretty sure now that the penthouse i'll be staying in is not juan's.
1. the xbh penthouse has a private pool right there on the roof just for those staying there, and juan's does not (at least, not according to their advertisement... one would imagine that they would advertise that they have a private pool if they had one.. they do advertise the hot tub on their balcony).
2. the xbh penthouse has 4 bedrooms, and juan's has 3
3. the xbh penthouse does not (unfortunately) have hi-speed internet access, while juan advertises that his has wifi throughout.
that is funny you mention that because at one time the penthouse juan rents was on xbh's website for $1200 per room although the whole penthouse can be rented for $300. this was being done without telling juan nor the owner of the penthouse. when the owner found out he had the photos removed from the xbh website and canceled all reservations made by xbh. so it would be really funny if this guy thinks he is staying in juan's penthouse because the owner said anyone from xbh will find themselves standing on the street. juan is the only agent who rents the penthouse and it is done without middlemen other than juan.

Jeez, that could be one of the Excelarus penthouses. That is 2 buildings away from Playa Mar, the building where Juan's unit is located.
It will be interesting to hear of your time. I think I may know the guys behind XBH. If I am correct, the service will be outstanding.

As my Mom used to say, "From your mouth to God's ears!"
i give it a 90% chance that this is the excelarus penthouse. however, be advised that the pool is not as private as they would like you to think. first, the pool is visible by no less than 500 people who are in the 200-300 apartments across the street from it. yes, that is no joke, i stayed there once. if this is the excelarus penthouse you probably will not want to use the pool at all unless you do not mind being watched/photographed. second, if this is the excelarus penthouse the pool is owned by the two penthouses that share the top floor, not just by one of them. the other penthouse is often rented to backpackers from israel. you will love your new friends who will share the pool with you. they can put up to 25 of them in the other penthouse, they seem to live off of $5 a day, they all use drugs constantly, all are about 18-25 with long greasy hair. we would consider them the hippies of their day except they use cocaine while we use to use weed.
the penthouse in excelarus can also be rented by juan directly. it is $400 a night and includes four rooms. it is significantly larger than the penthouse in playa mar but not nearly as modern. playa mar also has vonage for free calls to the u.s., and the hot tub is on the ocean side not visible to any one.
in any case, you would still be paying either $300 or $400 for a private penthouse that would include all the rooms instead of just one for $1200 (and a girl). either penthouse is a 5 minute walk to ldv where all the girls can be found any night.

I just found some pictures of the penthouse in Excelarus. You can see them on Juan's website here:
http://www.zepelion.com/apartamentos/exe701.htm
Keep in mind that there are two penthouses in this building that both share the same pool. So the penthouse you were offered might be the other one which is more modern than this one. The one you are looking at above is the one which is always rented to Israel backpackers. Sometimes up to 25 guys will share this penthouse by sleeping on the floor.
The key thing to note is the pool. Is this the same pool you are being offered? If so, then it is in the Excelarus building. If you look at the last of the photos you can see the pool. Notice that there is a pinkish colored building across the street. That building is called Conquistador and is known as the ghetto of Laguito. It has several HUNDRED apartments that look into the pool at Excelarus making the pool completely useless for privacy.
So, I have to ask, is this the building you are being offered for $1200 a night? If so you are getting screwed. You can rent it from Juan for $400.
Personally, if you are only 1 guy it is a better bet to rent the Playa Mar penthouse for $300. Playa Mar does not have a private pool but the hot tub is private and not visible to anyone. Second, Playa Mar is completed modernized. Just compare the photos on the web site to the photos of the penthouse in Excelarus.
Here is Playa Mar:
http://www.cartagenapenthouse.com/penttour
As you can see it is much more modern plus all the room have big new beds while the Excelarus penthouse only has one room with a king size bed while the others have smaller beds. One of the rooms in Excelarus has 4 single beds since the Israeli backpackers all live together like hippies. So Excelarus is not really even practical for 4 gringos unless 3 of them like sleeping on small beds.
Further, there is the house located in Laguito. It can be seen here:
http://www.zepelion.com/apartamentos/casalaguito.htm
This house has its own private pool on the ocean if that is what you are looking for. I do not know the price since I never stayed there. If you were alone you could stay in the master bedroom which has a big bed. I do not htink this would be practical for a group of gringos either since the other rooms have small single beds. This house is marketed towards the Israel backpackers more than to gringos and is often full with over 20 Israels.
Finally, there are still many other smaller/cheaper options. Most of which are listed on Juan's web site here:
http://www.zepelion.com/apartamentos/english.htm
I think it would be fair to mentioned there are other agents who rent besides Juan. Many people mention Marry but she had fallen out of grace since she got caught stealing. I think now Juan is controlling most of her former apartments.

I don't know, but both XBH and former guests of XBH have assured me that the pool is exclusively for the use of the XBH guests.
In any case, thanks again for reminding me of your thoughts regarding the costs involved. Really, the 50 other similar posts here didn't do the job. Of course, it's not $1,200, as you keep writing, but less than $1,000, and of course, it includes both the girls and having the entire Penthouse to myself and my girls, a driver available 24 hours per day, a personal chef, a full-time personal concierge who lives in Cartagena and knows who all the best girls are (and where they are), all of my food and drinks, and not having to spend my time going out to LDV or other clubs looking for such girls. But still, it's more than you would spend and more than most of you believe is necessary. I GET IT! I swear to you, it's no longer necessary to make this point everytime you see my name on a post... really... it's sunk in. There is a 100% chance that I understand this point that has been made many, many times. Feel free to place my id on your ignore list if my posts bother you.

Those young Israeli guys attract a lot of fine pussy. I've been to dinner with them in one of the penthouses. They are pretty nice guys in general. However, I don't touch drugs and generally go to bed early. I do see some of them still at it in the morning.
This is a funny post so lets deal with it part-by-part!!
....it includes both the girls and having the entire Penthouse to myself and my girls....Here Tripp has changed the story since he was posting before he had the "master suite" but now says he has the entire penthouse. He still will not tell us which penthouse it is. Surely you have seen photos?
.....a driver available 24 hours per day ....Wow! Do you realize that no less than 10 taxis sit in front of the buildings in Laguito 24 hours a day. You could ask ANY driver to take you to where the girls are. You only have to sit in the car and say "chicas!" Cost is about $2.00 to anywhere.
....a personal chef.........Going price for this in Cartagena is about $10 a day. It is included in some of the penthouses for free.
.......a full-time personal concierge who lives in Cartagena and knows who all the best girls are..............TRANSLATION: Some guy who has no job that will walk down the street to LDV and drag out one of the over priced girls because she give him $10 commision.
....... all of my food and drinks..............You need to drink about $500 in booze each day to break even. I think a bottle of rum is $4 in Cartagena.
...and not having to spend my time going out to LDV.....
This is a bad thing. Half the fun is seeing what is out there. Why limit your pussy to what the pimps will bring when all the girls are standing around LDV wiggling there asses for you to select?
....... Feel free to place my id on your ignore list if my posts bother you.It does not bother me. This site is about exchanging information. I enjoy explaining to the other guys how to live in Cartagena with pussy for $50 a day, not $1000.

Hey Tripp .... HAVE FUN !!! :)
Hey Tripp .... HAVE FUN !!! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
You keep saying all your booze and food is paid for in the cost. Where? At your penthouse/apartment or at all the restaruants you choose to dine at and discos you go to dance at? That's a big difference... if it's only at your penthouse/apartment that means nothing, as the only meal I would ever eat at my penthouse/apartment on vacation would be breakfast anyways... if even that. The restaurants and nightlife is what makes Cartagena so special. My sense is if you are really paying $1000/night than you have the cash to go out and have a fun time at the clubs and enjoy some great meals at the nicer restaurants. To me, free meals and drinks at your apartment are worthless and have no value whatsoever. In fact it if you do the majority of your eating or drinking at your apartment you have just wasted a week of your time because you won't experience the best part of Cartagena. If it were me, I'd call them up and see if you can cancel and get a refund. Even if you only get half back... I.e. $500/night back., you'll be better off using that $500/night and finding your own accomocdations and spending your cash as you wish. on the other hand... if it does pay for all your booze and meals anywhere you want to go (and the meals and booze of your dates) then why not... go ahead and do it... even though as others have pointed out, you are being taken behind a woodshed.
For what it's worth... for $1000 my bet is Aldo would let you rent out LDV for a night with all the 50 chicas (give or take a few) that frequent LDV and you could invite your best 50 best male friends.. thus 100 people and all the booze on the house for a night. You could spend $100 to stay at the Hilton... that's probably about what it costs and $100 for any chica you want for the next 24 hours... though my sense is, unless you are butt ugly AND have the personality of a rock... you wouldn't pay for a piece of pussy for an entire week after this free party that you throw. Thus $1200 gets you all the free pussy you want for the rest of the week... at least it would for me. I guess what I'm pointing out... as others have done is show far money goes in Colombia.
This free meals and booze idea means nothing if it's only at your apartment.
Have a great trip. Look forward to reading about it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Hope the report proves to be on par with Prague and the DR.
Travel safe.

1. Nope, I already explained in a previous post that I now have the entire Penthouse.
2. Additionally, in multiple posts, I've already said that I have no idea "which" penthouse it is.. and why would I?
3. No, the concierge is a real person who actually lives there in Cartagena, and knows whats what. My research has confirmed both this, and his usefulness.
4. I can go to LDV and any other club anytime I want while there, I just don't have to.
5. NO WAY will I enter a taxi that's just sitting there on the street.
6. I do appreciate, however, you finally quoting the price correctly... that's a big step in the right direction.
Well, since it matters to you so much, lemme tell you something now that's gonna really blow your mind. I'm going to tip the Chef, the Concierge, the driver, and each of the girls MORE than YOU make in a week. That's right! Are you cringing in misery right now? And I realise that I DON'T HAVE TO! Yep, that's right... I'm going to generously part with money that I could, in fact, hold on to for myself, just to show my appreciation for jobs well done by people who would have been happy with even just 20% of what I'm going to give them. Just think how long you could live and fuck and eat with what I'm going to be nonchalantly giving to those people while I'm there. Shit, I may even buy the girls presents and stuff, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T HAVE TO! Don't have a heart-attack, now.
And just so nobody gets the wrong idea.... I realised weeks ago that I'm spending more money than I have to here... really, I GOT IT! Perhaps I'll do it differently next time, but in any case, MESSAGE RECEIVED!
Guys, let the guy (Tripp) go do his thing in Cartagena.
He's read the guide, gotten lots of advice, as we all know though ... there's nothing like experience.
He'll go, have a good time ... and learn.
Once again .... HAVE FUN !!

I've got a friend of a friend that owns an 80 foot Hatteras long range criuser. I was invited to spend a week on the boat fishing drinking, talking about pussy and telling a few fish stories, aka. Lies. None of us are experienced seaman but the owner of the boat was in the navy and knew how to navigate. My feeling was that 6 rednecks have no business out on the open sea, so I decided not to drink anything until I got comfortable with the boat and my shipmates. The owner gave us orientation, assigned driving shifts and cooking partners for each meal. We made sure the life boat was in working order, test fired it up and gased it up, what to do in case of a fire, general safty precautions etc. I was impressed with his concern for safty. Anyway, when we cruised from one port to another, the owner of the boat would get off the boat and get himself a suite at the nearest 5 star hotel. We thought he was crazy because the captains quarters on the hateras were very luxurious. I'll admit I was a little envious, but I was happy just to be aboard. The captain told us he did this because he needed to make important phone call etc. Concerning his business and thats understandable. I guess what I came to understand about really wealthy people is WHY BE A WHEEL IF YOUR NOT GOING TO ROLL. I think tripstat just wants to roll and you can't blame him for that, although the bragging about his wealth is a little tacky.
Additionally, in multiple posts, I've already said that I have no idea "which" penthouse it is.. and why would I?
No, the concierge is a real person who actually lives there in Cartagena, and knows whats what. My research has confirmed both this, and his usefulness.
NO WAY will I enter a taxi that's just sitting there on the street.I think we are getting to the point where your posts are becoming completely unbelievable. Anyone who makes as much money as your claim just cannot be this clueless.
First of all, if you are going to stay somewhere for $1000 I would suspect you saw a photo of the place. You do all this research and posting yet are about to go somewhere without even knowing where you are staying. My bullshit meter is starting to go off.
Second, the concierge comment rings of cluelessness. There is no such thing as a concierge in Cartagena, there are just unemployed people who will do anything for money, some of whom are gringos.
The NO WAY I would get into a taxi also shows you either know absolutely nothing about Cartagena or are completely clueless. What do you think your so-called concierge is going to use to drive you around in? He is simply going to walk out front of the building and hail one of these taxis. Do you really think there is a difference if he calls one or your do? Taxis are 100% safe in Cartagena so why the NO WAY comment? You read these boards so you should know all this.
Your comments have far past the acceptable line of being believable. No one who makes the money you are claiming could be this misinformed about a destination. I am figuring you are a high school kid trying to get attention.

Once Tony gets a hold of trippstadt, he will be set for life. tony's retirement fund will quadruple.....
Tripp,
Have a blast at XBH and in Cartagena. I look forward to hearing the highlights, lowlights and LEARNING about the experience.
Your previous posts have been informative about the high-end punter experience. A type of experience I enjoy learning about (along with all the others), but which receives relatively little attention here.

Its interesting to watch Tripp's growth.
At first, he tried to reason with his tormentors, Jelly, Kungfu etc., and I feared that he had the spine of .....well, a jellyfish actually. But then he finally stood up to Kungfu, whose twelve posts all pillory Tripp, and who probably works for a rival establishment anyway. Attaboy Tripp! You have to know who your natural enemies are and expect no quarter. Give none either.
Tripp, my advise to you is to start over. Reregister. You see, the moment you mentioned that you had a couple of dollars, the low-rent guys were on edge. So do it right this time. Pick a name like 'Welfaremonger' or 'HappyFoodStamp' or 'Brokebutsmilin', then, announce in your very first post, that you are coming to Cartagena for a month but you only have $300, and 'can anybody help'?
What will happen next will amaze you!
Mongers who haven't been heard of in years will be tripping over themselves (standing in line) to give you advise and info. Jackson will have to set up a separate thread for all the tips on everything from cheap hotels to cut-rate haircuts; recycling condoms; cheap donkey rides; blowjobs behind dumpsters etc etc.
And the cast of characters? unbelievable! Ricker will be there with a friendly one-line post that will end in 'suerte'; rubberneckers like MJG will add a militant exhortation or two--maybe even Nibu himself will show up!
But, I don't want to get ahead of myself. You might enjoy butting heads a little while longer. I wouldn't want to spoil anyone's fun.

Great, looks like I've picked up a stalker here.
I don't know why you are spending so much energy writing this shit. In the future, why not just write, "Duh"? Everyone will know what you mean. Here, I'll spell it for you - D U H
Of course, Kongfool, you can probably fuck Miss Colombia and her twin sister for two empty ketchup bottles and a half-eaten big mac.
Hey, I just checked out all 12 of your posts. In fact, all 12 of your posts are directly, in one way or another, related to my posts or to XBH. It would appear that you are a shill in competition with XBH in some way. At least, that's the impression one might reasonably get, in light of the fact that every single one of your posts appears to be some type of attack either on an XBH customer or on XBH themselves. Here you are attacking my credibility (which is obviously too sophisticated a word for you to use... you said I was "unbelievable" because, as I've noticed, you often use the wrong word), but I've published dozens of reports and hundreds of pictures, while you're just a wart on the ISG's ass.
Now, Kongfool, I know that this post of mine will have you fuming, with sputum (look it up) spitting from your mouth and getting all over your jizm-encrusted keyboard. But I think that you should actually attempt to prove yourself worthy by contributing something of value to this board before you go on and attack the credibility of those who've actually done so. I know you'll have to read this a couple of times before you understand it, but that's okay... take your time. But stop trying to figure out where'll I'll be staying, okay? It's kinda creepy.
Dashing my man.... I swear, I hadn't seen your report before I entered the one just before this... Great minds really DO think alike! Very funny... Thanks!

Tripp- A stalker.. too funny. You have a good point though as it is interesting that he's trying so hard to convince you that you are doing the wrong thing. And it's especially interesting that he has no other posts. to his credit, the majority of what he has to say about costs, the facts regarding concierges, taxis, chefs, etc are pretty much all spot on. I admire that you continue to respond and I do hope that you post a report when you get back as I think you have written some fantastic reports on other countries. I think it's honorable that you want to tip everyone from the chef to the driver. I'd actually prefer you do that as opposed to paying the guy that has set this all up for you $800/night more than he deserves. After all, that money will at least go to people that don't reap the benefits of you or even any of us gringos going to Colombia... apart from them being able to keep their jobs or have a job.
I think the biggest error you made was letting people know how much you make. I understand you probably don't care whether it's classless or not. Though, it is rare in itself as wealthy individuals typically just don't talk about having a lot of money or making some of the statements you have made regarding your wealth and earnings. Typically statements like that come from like Kung fu stated... teenagers looking for attention, or perhaps someone who wishes they had a lot of cash. Personally I believe you... (not that it matters). After all, if you didn;t have the cash would you really follow through and spend $1000/night? Your other posts are genuine and it takes time to write them. So, yes I believe you. I also think you will have a great time and one thing I might suggest... if you really just like to spend cash, might I suggest you go look for a few libraries or schools (colegios) in Cartagena and make a generous donation. I think that is where the money would be best spent. There are an awful lot of con artists in Cartagena. In fact, when you go out to a disco take some candy and give it to the 7-10 year old kids that hound you as you get out of the cab. Most likely, they will throw it right back at you. They want money for drugs... not food or candy, etc. It's actually quite depressing and something that you or I cannot directly solve. My point is there are a lot of needy people in Cartagena. Use your head and if you want to be generous, recognize who and how you can help and make donations to those you feel can help the poverty of those struggling. Schools, libraries, clinics, etc. Heck you probably can think of many more than I could even begin to list. Just keep your eyes open to who is really just out to make a buck to cure their own drug habit for the day.
Kungfus costs are pretty much right on. Thus I say, yes... do tip the drivers, chefs, concierges etc. They can all use the money and I am a firm believer that you over-paying or over-tipping has absolutley no bearing on what I will be paying in the future. So be genrous if you'd like, they will be getting paid pretty much spot on what Kungfu has written. So if you think they deserve more(which they do) and they make your stay pleasant and enjoyable then absolutely tip them. I have no complaints at what you are doing. I solely found it odd that you would be so foolish to announce on this board to so many people of your financial situation and I hope you are not the 1st gringo that I have ever heard of to be kidnapped out of Laguito/Bocagrande. After all, if you announce it here... my bet is you do it face to face with people as well. Not a good idea while in Colombia, with anyone. Not with the chicas, nor even with the owner of your penthouse. Anyone in Colombia will do anything for a buck, regardless of values.. and it sounds like you my friend are a gold mine.
I like to help people with costs when I know what they are, and as I said and as you know you are being taken to the cleaners by someone... which I will call a con-artist, and there are a lot of them in Cartagena. The saying goes... no das papaya. Your $1,000/night is set... but wahtever you spend on top of that, why not make sure it goes toward a good cause as opposed to con-artists which will confront you 24 hours a day in Cartagena.
Back to Kungfu... one must wonder who he is. Fairly knowledgeable.. yet no previous posts. Must be a previous poster that was banned, someone that doesn't want to use their regualr ID, or someone that has something to gain... i.e. a competitor. But what kind of competitors could there posibly be in Cartagena for something like this? Maybe there are... it's something I have no interest in looking into. It's just kind of puzzling that Kungfu came out from nowhere. His info is spot on... it just serves no purpose to spend so much time to attack your plan however odd it is from the norm of others on this board. There must be a reason.
Have fun and when you get back please post a report.

Tripp- A stalker.. too funny. You have a good point though as it is interesting that he's trying so hard to convince you that you are doing the wrong thing. And it's especially interesting that he has no other posts. to his credit, the majority of what he has to say about costs, the facts regarding concierges, taxis, chefs, etc are pretty much all spot on. I admire that you continue to respond and I do hope that you post a report when you get back as I think you have written some fantastic reports on other countries. I think it's honorable that you want to tip everyone from the chef to the driver.

[QUOTE=Trippstadt]Great, looks like I've picked up a stalker here.
Winner, I agree, and I wish the subject of how much money I do or don't have, had never came up. But I NEVER set out to discuss how much money I had to spend. After an almost endless series of responses to my trip plans as posted, regarding how much money I was spending, I was trying to get across the point to stop worrying about how I'm spending my money, cause I'm not worrying about it. And NO, I NEVER ever tell people how much money I have... it's never like that and I'M not like that. I should not have allowed myself to be hounded into doing so, but there's just nothing I can do about it now.
Wow, now you guys are making up big conspiracy theories!
The fact is it is people like Trippstadt who messed up Cartagena. I started going to Cartagena about 5 years ago. Back then it was a nice pleasant place. The girls in LDV would ask for about 80-100, 000 for ALL NIGHT. Every day there were new girls from all over Colombia. Someone could have a very nice time for a small amount of money.
But things changed. I only go to Cartagena now about twice a year. The girls in LDV are the same old faces. There are no new girls. They all have a huge attitude now and are asking prices in dollars. It is truly one of the worse places to find girls anywhere in Colombia. I have decided I probably will not go back.
I am also convinced that no matter how much money I have or spend it would not make it like it was 5 years ago. Sure, if I start passing out $100 bills I can get any girls in LDV. However, the quality is so lacking now that I do not really even want to fuck these girls. They have grown hard and jaded. They even look hard. When I see them now they look almost like American hookers with tattoos, cigarettes, fake tits, nose stuck up in the air and signs of drug abuse. The environment is so bad there now that it is not a pleasant place to visit.
So what happened? How did it get like this? The fact is people like Trippstadt went to Cartagena and started tossing around money. The girls quickly realized that there are idiots who will pay anything to access there pussy. So the girls got greedy and decided that unless they were going to get double, triple, maybe 10 times the rate then they would rather go home alone. They realized that they only need to find one or two Trippstadts a month to make the same amount of money. So most of the time they spend their night drinking or sniffing the white stuff instead of leaving for 100, 000 pesos.
When new girls come to LDV they are told that they are not to screw for 100, 000 or else the other girls will beat them up. I know this for a fact. When a new pretty girl arrives she is taken into the bathroom and explained the rules. The new girls usually cannot find anyone so they quickly leave and never come back. Plus they go back to their cities and tell their friends that Cartagena is not a place to make money anymore. In the old days they went home with their pickets full of money and shortly afterwards ten of their friends were in LDV. The effect now is completely the opposite.
When people like Tony get one dumb ass gringo who pays him a weeks salary for a chair he automatically thinks there must be many other dumb gringos out there. So he continues to try and rob everyone, time and time again, just hoping he will find another Trippstadt.
Every person in Cartagena who is desperate for money starts to look for another Trippstadt to steal from. When it comes to real estate purchases all the Colombians talk to each other and tell the story of the "dumb gringo" who paid USA Prices for an apartment. They too want to find this dumb gringo like Trippstadt.
So Trippstadt tells everyone he is going to pay $1000 a day in Cartagena. I do not believe him but lets assume it is true. Of course the girls are going to tell all their friends. They will say "some dumb gringo paid $1000 for my $20 pussy! " All the others will start to see their pussies as being even more valuable and the whole vicious circle continues on.
There is very little left in Cartagena now. It is been almost completely ruined be people who wanted to inflate the prices. I have no problem paying for high end apartments/hotel, or even giving that one special girl a nice present. But tossing money around foolishly is what destroyed the place. If I did not have a couple of girls who I know from the past to call up I doubt I would even go there anymore. The bad attitude of the remaining tired old *****s in LDV is something I do not want to experience for free.
Thanks Trippstadt and everyone like you for fucking it up for the rest of us!
My only agenda is I would like Cartagena to go back to how it was. I know this will never happen. It is a shame.
Trippstadt if you are telling the truth then enjoy your LDV crackheads. Have a great time. I even offered you the phone numbers of these girls so you could call them directly for $50 instead of $1000. If I was competition of XBH I certainly would not do this. If you cannot call up a girl on your own then you must be the most insecure person on the planet. Perhaps that is the real reason why you feel the need to pay $1000.
WOW! Couldn't agree more amigo.Well said!!
Meister, I missed this the first time around. Thanks for the kind (and "spot on") words. - TrippTalk about desperate, who's the one taking the time to write such a long nostalgic complaint.
I am not disagreeing with your points (about over paying), but its more effective to sumerize your argument considering its a message board, otherwise, you undermine your position by sounding like a has been thats clinging to the past.
Move on brother.
T
I actually disagree. I don't really think it's guys like Tripp that have caused the raise in price at LDV nor gals that are telling others they will beat them up that makes new workers stop working at LDV. It's changes to Colombia and more specifically changes to Cartagena which are changing the things you are complaining about. Let me prove why.
1st time I went to LDV was 4 years ago.
a) Price of the peso... about 2800 to 1
b) Price of a condo a friend of mine purchased in Laguito... $25k US
c) Cost to stay at that apartment... $35
d) price to stay at a hidden gem hotel on the back side of Boca Grande 30k pesos... as many people as you wanted in the room.
e) price to stay at Hotel Caribe with a Dorado card... 110k pesos
f) price of a chuzo de pollo o chuzo de carne at Riquisimo... 3500 pesos
g) price of an aguilla at Riquisimo... 1200 pesos
h) price of a TLN at LDV... 80k-150k (depending on the chica and your skills)
i) How much did one spend for drinks and fun at places like tu candela, girre matto and other various discos?
Now today...
a) Price of the peso... about 2000 to 1
b) Value of the condo a friend of mine purchased in Laguito... about $80k US
c) Cost to stay at that apartment... $70-80 US
d) price to stay at a hidden gem hotel on the back side of Boca Grande 70k pesos... only 2 people in the room.
e) price to stay at Hotel Caribe with a Dorado card... 280k pesos in Dec 2006
f) price of a chuzo de pollo o chuzo de carne at Riquisimo... 7500-8k pesos
g) price of an aguilla at Riquisimo? When I was there in December they didnt even have Aguila. They wanted 10k pesos for a Corona or a Heineken??? Aguila was on the menu at like 4 or 5k pesos.. though they didnt even have it
h) price of a TLN at LDV... you said it's about $100... so 200k pesos
i) How much did one spend for drinks and fun at places like tu candela, girre matto and other various discos? It's well over twice as expensive now.
My point... guys like Tripp aren't what caused the price increases to the chicas in Cartagena. If anything the chicas are something that have increased in price much slower than anything else in Cartagena. Get this and you are going to chuckle on this... when I first went to Cartagena 4 years ago I gave Tony the tout 100k pesos on my last day. Unlike others, I actually enjoy watching him on the beach. Since then I've probably been back to Cartagena 10-12 times. Everytime I have gone I am with my girlfriend. I get spectacular service from Tony, I pay 2k pesos for the umbrella and 1k pesos for each chair. I pay 2k pesos/aguila. I pay 5k pesos to the fruit lady that I have used for 4 years. I pay 2k pesos for coconuts, which used to be a real pain in the ass for him as he'd have to find someone to go get the kind I like. I pay 20k pesos for a full body massage 30 minutes for me and my girlfriend... yes both of us for 20k total. If I only want my feet done for 15 minutes, it's 5k pesos. Now the best part, I sit there for a good 4-5 hours, I have Tony at my beckon call, I get to watch Tony in action messing with all the other people he's trying to make a buck on. and not 1 vendor even attempts to stop at my tent. If they do, Tony has them away from me before they can even set their shit down. I tell Tony, keep everyone away from us and when I want something I'll let you know. How would you like to go to the beach with your gal and not get fucked with by a single vendor. My friend it's called knowing how to play the game. With people.. not just chicas. I mean wouldn't you love to go to the beach with your girlfriend in Cartagena 3-4 times a year and actually enjoy your time becuase you gave a guy 100k pesos ($35US) 4 years ago? And not get bitchslapped on pricing. 5 hours at the beach and my tab to Tony is typically about 35k pesos for 15 beers, 2 chairs and an umbrella. I give him 40k pesos. A 6k tip... why? why not. That's $3US for a guy to slave over me for 5 hours. Where in the US can you sit somewhere and drink all day for $20US? Hell the entertainment Tony provides in itself is worth $20 to me.
Sure Tony screws a lot of people just like chicas screw a lot of people... the question is are you going to let them screw YOU. I don't care what others pay.
In fact you made the point that this chica is probably laughing her ass off at Tripp for paying $1000 for her $20 pussy. That's not true. Apparently it's a $100 pussy as you've mentioned and how much do you think she really gets? My bet is $50. It's the smart entrepreneur that put it all together that is screwing him out of his money. But the fact remains, it's not the chica. THe one thing that has held as close to normal over the last 4 years IS the price of a chica... that and what I pay Tony.
I don't see you complaining about the cost of hotels, the cost of an apartment rental or purchase, the cost of a meal, the cost of disco expenses... those are the things that have gotten out of control... and I have news for you. It's not because of guys like Tripp. It's because of the political situation in Colombia. Cartagena is a tourist town, people are no longer afraid to travel by bus for vacation, a lot less guerillas in Colombia, a lot less bombings in Colombia, a lot less kidnappings of extraneros and wealthy Colombianos and politicians. Colombia is changing for the better. This causes tourism as well as foreign investments, as well as a strong peso, as well as more jobs... and unfortunately increase in costs. Just as things are more expensive in Cancun and Cozuemel than Oaxaca and Mexico City, things are more expensive in Cartagena than Cali and Santa Marta. Get used to it, and if you want to complain... complain about the raise in prices of accomodations, meals, and entertainment of discos not chicas and guys like Tony. After all, even though most of them are coke-heads... they are still human and have families to feed. Do you really care about the guy that owns the Hilton, Hotel Caribe, discos, restaurants, etc? Why aren't you complaining about that? Answer... because you can't because those things aren't going to change. Truth be told, nor is the cost of a chica at LDV, nor is guys like Tripp ruining it. You've stated the gals at LDV aren't worth fucking. Then why go? I don't. I also wouldn't complain either.
Why are chicas not travelling from all over Colombia to work at LDV? Well, many reasons probably. 1) 4 years ago it was harder to find a REAL job, and people do whatever it takes to make money. Uribe has given many people hope. My sense is more 14-16 year olds are staying in school becaue there is now in their eyes, some sort of light at the end of the tunnel. That's one reason. Next, LDV has always had its regulars. Typically this inflow of new chicas is in June/July and November/December which correpsond to their holiday periods. Maybe you did not go during those months? Of course if you went in May and then in September you saw the same chicas. Maybe their novios are making more cash, possibly in drug trades as many ew groups probably spring up daily? A lot of the chicas that frequented LDV 3 to 4 years ago came from MEdellin. Maybe there are reasons that they no longerr need to go. Medellin has progressed.. maybe someone in their family got a job. Regardless, the few things that have stayed relatively constant in my opinion in CArtagena over the last 4 years are chicas, drugs (both prescription and illicit.. though I do not partake in the latter), and a pack of smokes... well close to it. 3k pesos to 4k- 4500 pesos.
Seriously, complain about something else. Cartagena chica prices have increased slightly, but it's because of tourism... not foolish gringos. Certianly you can complain about the entreprenuer/con artist ripping off Tripp or Tripp paying the prices... but ultimately neither of their actions affect neither you nor I. In fact, if you were the owner of the establishment where Tripp is going, wouldn't you try to get as much as you could as well? It's called capitalism and it's all over Cartagena.... and it wan't Tripp's fault. If you wnat to blame someone, blame Uribe. Though, I personally prefer Colombia today as opposed to 4 years ago. Not Cartagena, but certianly Colombia.
Wow, now you guys are making up big conspiracy theories!

Very long post, and very misinformed.
I spoke to some of the girls from Medellin who use to work in LDV. They are all now working in Medellin. They are still hookers but working for far less in Medellin. Some are working in houses where they get paid as little as 20, 000 pesos. They told me they cannot make any money anymore in Cartagena. They said by the time they travel to Cartagena, pay the hotel (which has not increased significantly since it is out of the tourist zone), pay their living expenses, etc, they simply are left with nothing. When I explained to them my theory that they priced themselves out of the market they all agreed with me. They actually realize that it was better when there were lots more gringos but paying less. They agreed that they could fuck at least once a day (but often more) for 80-100, 000 pesos and that was BETTER than there options now where the girls are demanding 300, 000 but there remains no clients except for the occasional Trippstadt. They also agree that drugs are a big part of the problem in LDV now and that the remaining girls are all too hardcore.
The days of LDV being a fun place for everyone are long gone. I remember when a night in LDV meant seeing lots of girls dancing and having fun. Now they all stand in the corner looking scanky and ignoring everyone. They just keep hoping a Trippstadt enters so they can get enough money to buy a lot of cocaine.
I do not complain about the prices of apartments increasing since the quality has also increased from competition. The apartments are better now, and there are many more options than 4 years ago. Riquisimos got greedy also so I no longer eat there. Not only has the price increased but the quality of the food has decreased. There are far better options to eat than Riquisimos. I still give Tony the same 1000 pesos I gave him four years ago. If he does not like it I sit somewhere else.
But lets say the girls inflation was parallel to the general inflation in Colombia. First, I assure you it is not, but lets imagine it is. This does not explain the attitude change nor the lack of new girls. There are thousands of new girls working as hookers in Medellin now so there is no shortage of hookers in general. Your idea of there being so many new jobs is ridiculuos and only shows how little you understand Colombia. The minimal wage in Colombia four years ago was 410, 000 pesos monthly. The minimal wage for 2007 is 520, 000 pesos. That is about a 25% increase in four years. The girls in LDV four years ago were 80-100, 000 for all night. Now they are asking 200, 000 for one hour and many will not do all night since they need to get to their cocaine party after the clubs close. The girls are from 100% to 400% more expensive. But the attitude is the real problem. I can easily afford the prices they ask but I expect good service. By good service I want a happy friendly girl who treats me like a king. Those girls are gone, and only the high price hardcore girls remain all due to people like Trippstadt.

Things will never be they way they were, any place, any time. Truth be told, the good old days weren't that good.
I lived in Laguito for the last 4 years, and I see improvement. The rising tide of economic activity floats all boats. Chica prices? Four years ago, I paid 60 to 80K for short time. I moved to Medellin at the end of March of this year. Before I left, I was paying 60 to 80K for ST. I plan to spend Feb. and March in CTG in future years.
I don't blame anyone for anything. There will always be people who can spend more than I can and those who cannot. A good free market will cater to all of the spectrum. You can still get reasonably priced food on the Bocagrande Penninsula or you can pay a lot. I can get pussy for 40K in Bocagrande or I could pay 200K.
I do not want CTG to go back to how it was. With all its real and imagined problems, I like the future. Today is the best day of my life. And tomorrow will be better.
I actually disagree. I don't really think it's guys like Tripp that have caused the raise in price at LDV nor gals that are telling others they will beat them up that makes new workers stop working at LDV.

Seriously, complain about something else. Cartagena chica prices have increased slightly, but it's because of tourism... not foolish gringos. Certianly you can complain about the entreprenuer/con artist ripping off Tripp or Tripp paying the prices... but ultimately neither of their actions affect neither you nor I. In fact, if you were the owner of the establishment where Tripp is going, wouldn't you try to get as much as you could as well? It's called capitalism and it's all over Cartagena.... and it wan't Tripp's fault. If you wnat to blame someone, blame Uribe. Though, I personally prefer Colombia today as opposed to 4 years ago. Not Cartagena, but certianly Colombia.
Winner and Tom, Well-written and sensible, with an understanding of events and circumstances beyond the simple cost of a chica or a hotel room or a beer.
Kongfool and pet monkey, Mule, you both should have taken my advice and just written, "Duh". You would've sounded more intelligent.
I think there's a high probability that you're not an economist for the Inter-American Development Bank, right? Wasn't it John Maynard Keynes who first theorized that the "High-paying Monger" was the seed of many a great economy? I mean, I'm flattered, but ... ;-)
At any rate, it is apparent that you actually don't realise just how incredibly stupid your reasoning is, and I guess you can't do too much about that. I mean, even beyond all the ridiculous logic (or lack thereof) and all the very many reasons why your theories are senseless, you actually think that there's a sufficiently large group of men, visiting Colombia on a regular basis and who absolutely insist on paying many times what chicas would be willing to accept, who have raised the cost of living in Cartagena to the point where girls now have other options and are no longer willing to accept the cost of a bowl of rice and beans in order to fuck you? What you're really saying is, you wish Colombia was stuck in a horrible cycle of tremendous poverty and decay so that the girls would do anything just to get another meal in their stomach, and you miss the good old days when girls were oh so more desperate than they are now.
Do you really think your slogan, "Mongers of the world UNITE to keep prices down?" is gonna catch on?
I can't even go on with this, cause I'm laughing too hard. Seriously, I'm not kidding, if you'll just write "Duh" as your response, you'll come off as much, much smarter... really!
Anyway, I really don't come here to trade barbs with anyone, and certainly not with humorless half-wits. Go ahead and write whatever stupid response you're going to write, let your brother half-wits write "Uh yeah, what you said, that's right", and leave it at that. I can't see myself remaining in this useless conversation.
And Kongfool, we're all still waiting for that killer report and accompanying photos. This was your 14th useless post
Wow. I think winner has hit the nail on the head in terms of price increases. I thought I'd share my trip to the beach experience in Cartagena.
Now I've heard of Isla Rosario but I've never been. So one day I decided to ask the taxi driver to recommend a beach. He suggested manzanilla (sp? ) so we made plans to head there a couple days later. Now mistake #1 was that I didn't ask the price upfront but it ended up being 140K for the tent/food/beers (aguilla just goes down easily in the hot sun) for myself, novia, and the taxi driver. Plus another 80K for the driver's time/drive.
I did feel like I got taken a bit. I think it should have been 100K/60K for the food/taxi but lesson learnt that's for me not asking upfront nor negotiating.
Here's a few pics of the beach. It is a VERY nice beach (something Cartagena proper doesn't have) and for those of us who can't swim or care for boats it's very shallow without waves/undercurrents.
Kongfu makes some good points actually.
The truth is somewhere in between, but what does it matter?
Cartagena is what it is. Do I care how much Tripp spends there on his vacation? No ...
You give a guy advice and move on.
Do I care how much a guy spends for chicas in any city in Colombia? No.
I give advice because that's what this guide is about. To help others, the way I was helped when I first visited.
The truth is, one guy can spend $100 or even $500 (imagine that) for time with a chica, and the next guy with more skill, charm and knowledge can get it for $30 or even free if he's real smooth.
And the ironic thing is, the high price you pay will not better the chicas' service, in fact it may do just the opposite.
I can remember when the Key Largo in San Jose, Costa Rica was the hot spot there and the Del Rey was the over-flow place for the ugly chicas.
And the Key Largo was fun back then.
Totally different now.
Things change, but the cool thing is, there's always new places to go and explore, and there's always the non-pros :)
Suerte amigos!!

Completely wrong.
Actually it's just the opposite, girls in LDV are so hardcore now and used to getting paid big whacks of cash.
I, as a foreigner, am the one who goes off on the LDV girls when they say that the 130k I'm offering is "poco dinero" (not much money). I tell them, "no it's not, that's a week's wages for some people here".
Nobody is saying mongers raised the cost of living in the entire city of Cartagena. It seems it's only you that has misunderstood.
You may be interested to know that the experienced mongers on the Argentina forum (including the ISG admin) are pretty much agreed with what Kong Fu is saying. Still sound "senseless" and "incredibly stupid" to you?
It only takes a small group of guys overpaying to set a new high water mark. The girls boast to the other girls any time they get a big payday. It's female nature to think that they are all top 25% girls, so they all deserve at least as much as the next girl gets. After a while the new price sticks and then the cycle repeats.
There is no point worrying about this effect, it will happen whether we like it or not. However I find it destroys a community such as ISG.
It only takes one crass guy like Dashing Don to come on and create divisions between "above market" paying guys and "market" paying ones. Pretty soon the guys who are travelling long term or living in the place think "why should I provide information when these 7 day a year guys are coming down, using my information against me and then want to rub it in my face?". After a while you just stop sharing stuff, which is where my head is at right now concerning ISG.

Brethren,
I’m in need of concise advice. While I agree with the recommendation that mongers should read earlier postings to get needed travel information, I lack the time. I have received orders to travel to Columbia, and will be leaving within the next few days. So, I’d like to ask if you would make an exception and give me a bit of information to make the two day diversion to Cartagena worthwhile. Those of you that recall some of my most, particularly Argentina and SJO, will be aware of my own contributions to WSG. I’d like to know the following:
1) The best area to get good, clean, and safe hotel room that is girl friendly. A recommended Hotel, reasonable priced. Don’t have the time to explore. Or perhaps an apartment representative’s name
2) Locations where (please list three) to get access to an abundance of chicas. This to avoid the supply/demand disadvantage.
3) Please…pls, let me know the price range ($us) that is a respectable, without tipping the market scale.
4) Or, please refer me to the date of posting where I can find this information, if time permits while in Columbia
Ez
Macgoo,
Take a look at www.colombiarental.net Micheal is the guys name. The apartments are girl friendly, quiet , 24 hour security, hot water, cold air, well equiped. They are in Laguito. La vita dolce is a 5 minute walk away. You can hangout at the steps leading up to the casino and LDV and watch the girls as they come in. Mr Babilla and Tu candela are a short ride away. My spanish is limited and I was there for only 6 nights, so when i found a girl that I had to have for a TLN, I wasnt going to let a few bucks get in the way. I paid 150 USD the first night for the best looking girl in LDV. If you dont beleive she was the best looking girl in their, just ask me again. I was a little more picky after the first night and only paid 70 usd and 90 usd. I got those deals hanging out at the steps up to LDV. I brought 1 girl back from a casa, 60000 exit fee, 14000 tln.
Raw,
Thanks, I have made contact re the Apt. Now, while I am able, I would go without before paying "market meddling" price for chicas. I am thinking in the us $75 - $80 range. I that unrealistic?
I think you can find TLNs for that if your spanish is decent.

AlMy pm is not working for some reason. As soon as it gets settled Ill do that. BTW, I am fluent in Spanish so that might help ease the fact that Im middle aged and oveweight :)
Johnnydh. To answer your question, the short answer is NO. You will not find extreme high end talent in LDV. This is of course is an opinion, based on maybe 80 (or more) visits to the place over the course of 8 years. (both locations)
What you will find is lots of 4-6s though. And the ocasional odd 8. This is of course a subjective opinion. I know some guys like "GORDITAs" (see a bit fat) I however tend to like a thin well proportioned woman.
The problem in LDV with finding the odd 8 is this. There are SCORES of horned up mongers chasing the handful of hotties, and often when a guy finds the one good one, she will stay with him his whole vacation, essentially taking her out of the market for weeks at a time. Leaving you and me with the freightening left overs.
I know this from both anecdotal accounts and because I have done it myself. I know a German doctor who has been going to CTG for years and this is his standard MO as well.
This is opposed to a large market like Rio, or BKK where you have the 8s and 9s regularily outnumbering the "clients".
IMHO go to Cartagena because its a cool city, and fair beachs, and an interesting place. If you go with Mongering as your main activity you will be disappointed, That is of course unless you don't mind bedding the 5s and 6s.
INGATThanx Jim, that totally answered my question, I'm scratching off Cartagena on my to do list.
If I wanna bang 5's and 6's I'll stay home and do that. LOL.
Is there any web sites that have a detail map of area around Cartagena / Laguntio area? How hard is it to find LDV?

A friend of mine owns this site: http://www.cartagenainfo.net/. Laguito is a thumb of land sticking out into the sea about 3 blocks long and 2 blocks wide. You can easily find anything in Laguito.
Here is the Laguito map tom 33 is talking about, the LDV is on the second floor of the Centro Comercial, upper left of photo:

Tripp,
Sure hope everything went well on your trip. I'm having issues hunting through these trip logs trying to find your report on your trip.
Can you point me to it or tell me how to find it?
1. Nope, I already explained in a previous post that I now have the entire Penthouse.
2. Additionally, in multiple posts, I've already said that I have no idea "which" penthouse it is.. and why would I?
3. No, the concierge is a real person who actually lives there in Cartagena, and knows whats what. My research has confirmed both this, and his usefulness.
4. I can go to LDV and any other club anytime I want while there, I just don't have to.
5. NO WAY will I enter a taxi that's just sitting there on the street.
6. I do appreciate, however, you finally quoting the price correctly... that's a big step in the right direction.
Well, since it matters to you so much, lemme tell you something now that's gonna really blow your mind. I'm going to tip the Chef, the Concierge, the driver, and each of the girls MORE than YOU make in a week. That's right! Are you cringing in misery right now? And I realise that I DON'T HAVE TO! Yep, that's right... I'm going to generously part with money that I could, in fact, hold on to for myself, just to show my appreciation for jobs well done by people who would have been happy with even just 20% of what I'm going to give them. Just think how long you could live and fuck and eat with what I'm going to be nonchalantly giving to those people while I'm there. Shit, I may even buy the girls presents and stuff, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T HAVE TO! Don't have a heart-attack, now.
And just so nobody gets the wrong idea.... I realised weeks ago that I'm spending more money than I have to here... really, I GOT IT! Perhaps I'll do it differently next time, but in any case, MESSAGE RECEIVED!
Any one know abouth the Edificio Tocahagua?
Were is the location?
Is good for the hobbie?
Much appreciated and thank's

Any one know abouth the Edificio Tocahagua?
Tocahagua is on the beach side of the main Laguito avenue. Right in the centre of the tourist zone.
It's also a very old and tired building. I think I may have read that this building has structural problems ("falling into the sea"), is that true?
I saw a couple of apartments in this building. They had really old fixtures and furniture. I would expect the price to be at the low end of Laguito rentals. Try and see photos before you rent.

The building is girl-friendly if you are discreet.
I have heard stuff about structural problems as well. That needn't concern you. I know two guys who own apts. in the building. They have done their places up very well, but some apts. are dumps.

Lighten up on Tripp. It's his money and he can spend it anyway he wants to.
I've been fortunate to travel many places with some high rollers.
One guy owns a 10M plus home in Captiva. A 3M plus home in Lake of the Ozarks and a 3M home in St. Louis. Guy has 5 boats (ranging from a ski boat and (2) 42 Ft Sea Rays. Plus a 40Ft Fountain that goes 110MPH).
He has a very interesting philosophy. "Why would I ever do anything for myself that I can pay other people to do for me? Like Tripp, his time per hour is worth more than saving a few bucks doing things for himself!
I can never spend a dime around this guy because he is happy to have me as his wingman and I look out for him to keep him out of trouble. (he is a little naive about our hobby at times. LOL). I manage to sneak in a tank of gas on occasion when he is not looking but it pisses him off when I do.
I have another buddy from Wyoming that reguarly budgets $1, 000 per day for his mongering vacations. I always tease him that he can't spend that much wherever we are going. Hell, I watched him nearly clean out an upscale womens clothing store one day on a girl he had just met the night before. He even bought the sales clerk a pair of jeans and some jewlery and she got paid a commission on the sale. Makes him happy, more power to him.
I also have some buddies from S. Fl that rent out La Mansion in Havana. The beards personal entertainment residence when visiting dignitaries are in town (king and queen of spain for exmple). Place costs 3K per night, comes fully staffed with maids, cooks, divers (yes, plural) and they still have to pay for drinks (food is included). Hell, if they wanted Ham and cheese sandwiches at 2:00AM, the staff gets up and makes them.
They have also been to the Viking Resort in the DR. That place is all inclusive and has some incredible looking chicks from E. Europe and other places as well. But at 4K for a 4 night stay it is not on many mongers destination lists. Know what? They are almost always booked. The people that go there and pay their prices are the ones that want it all done for them and are willing to pay for it or do not want to waste the time doing it for themselves.
I guess the whole vibe of this thread is "let the guy enjoy his life the way he wants to" He had/has his reasons for doing it his way. Whats the BFD and why is everyone making such a BFD about it? He's a fellow monger; shares TR's and photos with the board; shares advice and information learned from his travels and is a contributing ISG member.
Tripp. I'the hang with ya any day buddy. I may not be able to keep up with your budget but I can guaranfuckingtee you it would be a memorable trip. Always are!
We could go to Rio, rent out Vips Millenium for 24 hour periods, have 3-5 rounds of 6-8 girls per day and still be close your daily budget. We could even invite a few friends. A buddy of mine from the SF bay area did just that and we had a blast. (we did have 2 other guys there as well and we bought all the food and drinks. He picked up the room and the girls). He was delighted with the arrangements and had the 5 day fuckfest of his life!
Now, is that wrong?

Nobody's written anything negative about him since he posted his trip report. Which is surprising. I would have thought some of the brilliant economic minds that hang out here would be blaming him because they have to pay $20 more for a piece of ass versus what it cost 5 years ago.
Lighten up on Tripp. It's his money and he can spend it anyway he wants to.

A few Cartagena recs.
Transport:
Coche-Bus (Van) from Cartagena to Barranquilla: these companies are listed in the directorio (yellow pages) and provide door-to door service for 25,000 COP. Most have offices in Bocagrande and Crespo. Call a couple hours before and they will pick you up. Good deal.
I took Brasilia to BAR. Two hours late for pick-up! Invertur on the way back to CAR was on time. I recommend Invertur. Even got the number of a cutie in the van.
Stayed in Playa-Mar 301 for 80 USD a night. Cheaper places are available to be sure, but Juan Ventura is a great guy. Very nice place…worth the extra bucks. I did laundry there, had internet access with my laptop, panaderias across the street and coffee-maker for breakfast.
Restaurants: Food in Cartagena is relatively expensive. Nicer restaurants in the Historic Center charge 25,000 to 40,000 for entrees. And if you like red wine with your steak be prepared to pay 6,000 to 10,000 COP for a glass of below average Chilean. And no Lenas y Carbon?
Laguito: Quijote de la Masa, next to Edificio Marinare. Excellent almuerzo for 6,000 to 7,000 COP. Managed by a sweet Senora from Medellin. Riquisimos -nice atmosphere, below average Churrasco runs 20,000 COP.
Bocagrande: Picolo’s Pizza: 30,000 to 40,000 COP for large pizza and drinks for two. Said to be better than the nearby Jeno’s.
Historic Center: El Bistro, Calle de Ayos: awesome gourmet lunch for 8,000 to 10,000 COP. Good spot to chill after checking out the historic sites.

Some poor guy posted last February asking about a buget place in the centro and got cold-shouldered with one kinda disdainful post that was of no help at all. I recall a dingy, cheap hotel from many years ago in Bocagrande but not the name. Anybody have constructive recommendations (other than stay in Bogota) for the truly shallow-pocket guys like me?

Sorry on the latency, it's been a while since I've been down this thread.
There are a couple of inexpensive places to stay in Bocogrande that fit your budget. You can find these on Ave Sucre, which is the third street back from the beach. Try between Calle 5 and Calle 6. Sometimes the working girls shack up there. Also, in the old city, I think some girls stay at Hotel Marlin which I 've believe is off La Media Luna (Getsemani). I've only been in a few of the cheaper haunts in the old city of those, Marlin seemed nicer, ironically safer, since Getsemani carries a hard rep as old city neighborhoods go.
Hope that helps.

Pattaya, 20 bucks with pool
Sosua, DR 15 bucks
Phnom Penh, 25 with pool

Tripletera is closed
Giro Matto is closed
There is a brotel/strip club in Centro called Isis about a block away from Donde Fidel, don't know the adress
Electra (I think of it as the newer version of Giro Matto) should be on the list. It also doesn't start until 3AM, but the music is better (all electronic), the place is bigger and much nicer overall.
Electra same owner as LDV.
Electra gets going late!
80% of the girls left at LDV leave and go to Electra between 1:00 and 3:30.

World Traveler 69 thanks for doing such a great job of keeping this lists. I have couple of things to add for the Cartagena list here for some places in el centro.
Queens Club
Calle de las Damas on the corner with Amargura.
No sign during the day, but at night they put out a well lit sign that is easy to see. This is a discoteca where girls kind of freelance, although there are rooms upstairs and some girls live there. Rooms are 30000 pesos for half hour 40000 pesos for an hour. You negotiate with the chica on the price, but expect to pay around 100k pesos for an hour or more.
Miami Club is now called Bananas. Same location and address as on the list.
Isis - on the list already, but here is the full address for easier locating
Cra 5 no. 33-10 on the corner of Calle Cochera del Gobernador.
I will put info on my visits to Queens club and Bananas on the report section.

I redid the PDF List to make it easier to print out.
Now if some of you guys could and would help fill in the blanks or add new info I could have added it.
The cruiseship made a stop in Cartagena so I walked out to get a cab to go to the city. There are lots of cabs parked outside the terminal offering you to take you where the girls are. I picked this guy that for $30 took us to the main square, a small improvised tour and to the "chicas" I can't remember the name of the place but there were quite a few chicks. The one I took (in the poto) was a solid 9. Nice!

Now I understand why there are lots of cabs parked outside the terminal.

Now that is the type of girls that I like Tequila.

(I tell you it for next time)Fucking cruiseros is a main occupation of all Costeños.
Once I had the misfortune of strolling through Plaza San Diego when a cruise ship happened to be in port. I was fucking mobbed. Fortunately one of the mob recognized me and told the others that I lived there. They quickly dispersed.
The fare from the cruise terminal to el Centro should have been 4 or 5K.

Hey All,
I have been a long time member of ISG and love it as it is information at its best.
My usual trip is Rio but this year after reading so many great things about Cartagena I am adding a few days there onto the end of my Rio trip.
I will be going to rio first for 7-10 days and catching Cartagena on my way back to ATL.
I am planning on 12-3-08 to 12-10-08 in Rio and 12-10-08 to 12-14-08 in Cartagena.
Planning time is short for the Cartagena portion of my trip so some help would be very greatly appreiciated and rewarded with a couple of cold ones if you are down there when I come through.
So heres what I need to know:
I always stay at apartments and would like to do so again here but I would also like it to be on the beach or very close I hear Juan has some any good ones you guys know of to suit my needs as listed above?
Also how far would this area be from the city action?
The beach action from what I have read here is pretty good but mixed reviews of Tony :) and his policies so are there any other good beach spots for good local action?
Thanks in advance for your help!

When you get out of the airport walk straight to the Taxi office/stand. It costs 14.800k to get into Bocagrande.
If you are here now or the next few days the Beauty Pageant is going on until the 18th. Go to the Hilton, buy the wrist band for about US$20. and see the Beauties.

I hear that things change pretty quickly in CTG, so any updating would be appreciated. I'm sure to do my best when I'm there in a couple of months.
Hi,
I'm planned to back CTG after 3 years. I used to exchange money inside CC Carulla, Money Gram place and for this time was the best option.
Any recomendation will be apreciated.
Thanks
ATMs will usually give you the best exchange usually about 10% higher then any money exchange place like Money Gram, Western Union etc. It is also much safer to use an ATM card rather then trying to carry a large amount of dollars then trying to find some where to exchange dollars for pesos. Cirrus is a worldwide interbank network operated by Master Card worldwide a network of over 1,000,000 ATMs in 93 countries.

ThanksAgain this issue? We repeated this many times.
The best thing to do is to use a plain debit card* in any ATM.
(* I am not sure "debit card" is the right name in English. I mean any plain cashpoint/ATM card: when you use it, money is taken instantaneously from your bank account)
My MAESTRO works fine at all ATMs (except Bancolombia, I have no idea why). The exchange rate is the official one (see Yahoo), maybe +1% fee, not the rip-off of exchange offices or hotels. They will charge only maybe 3USD fixed fee.
If you use a credit card, you will pay 4% fee + 1% exchange fee.
Plenty of ATMs in Bocagrande and in El Centro (in particular,4 different ones in Plaza de l'Aduana).

I just checked and:
$1USD = 2390COP!
HoserThe USD is recovering against EUR and other currencies. It was almost 1€=1.5$ time ago, now its 1€=1.28$.
Conversely, the COP kept rather stable vs. EUR. Mostly, in range 1€=2900-3100COP in 2008.
Taxi driver drove me buy Venus last night and they looked like they were closed for good?
Can anyone confirm?

Hi Fellas',
I'm Meat Loaf in Nicaragua, and I wanted to know what transportation methods exist to travel from David, Panama, to Cartegena, Colombia, and if so how much does it cost?
Thanks

Isis in Central. This puta bar has been written about on several occasions, and it is located in Central in the same general area as Tu Candela, Queen, e.c.t I no longer remember the pricing structure in it, but I will check it out when I am in Cartagena on the 16th, or maybe another member on here can contribute that information.
I would also highly recommend adding my taxi driver Nelson to your list. He has a knowledge of the english language, and knows where the casas, and every other bar in the Cartagena area is at. Very knowledgable and helpful for any needs you may have. His telephone number is 314-587-5635

Here is a little update for the Queens in el centro, Last Thursday night about 10-15 girls a couple 8's in the crowd. Not many customers.
10mil cover to get in and this gets you one free drink or beer, 10mil beers after that. Buddy had a chica (8) for 130mil in the club it was an extra 20mil for take out. He did not negotiate at all he was ok with her and her price and he does speak Spanish.
Club Bammboo Saturday night. No cover 10mil beers, allot of 8/9's and really packed up after midnight. There was only a hand full of guys in the joint and 2 had there Columbian wives with them.
50mil bar fee and there are no rooms on premise, 200mil for a smoking hot babe for 2 hours take out.
Looks like I will be in CTG for a little longer as I have a doctors appointment this week looking into hearing aides here compared to the states. If any one is headed this way drop me aline. From here off to Santa Marta area and then? I have a couple months to kill here, life is rough.

Greetings!
First of all, I would like to take a moment to thank Jelly Donut, Kongfuwu and Winner71 (and anyone else I missed! ) for having posted a cook-book scenario on how to "score", enjoy life and have a good time in Cartagena. The walkthroughs which you had presented are 100% accurate and I would take advice from each and every one of you again anytime, all the time.
Your postings are what make this platform truly special. Again, THANK YOU!
Roughly three months back, I happened to stumble across this discussion forum in search of background information and reviews on the "Xotic Beach House".
As soon as I had read this thread on Cartagena, I knew that the Xotic Beach House was a waste of both time and money.
BUT more importantly, thanks to Jelly Donut, Kongfuwu and Winner 71, I now knew how to proceed on my own.
Since then, my humble self traveled to Cartagena twice, both times for an extended weekend trip (Friday arrival, Monday departure).
A few things to consider prior to departure:
Make sure you get a yellow fever and typhoid vaccination at least 10 days prior to departure. A Hep booster is also not a bad idea. I am not here to lecture anyone but remember that it is Latin America and their standards of hygiene are not aligned with ours.
If this is your first trip to Latin America, always be prepared for the unexpected. Whatever can go wrong in Latin America will potentially go wrong. As Cartagena is situated in the tropics, buy loads of water or (even better! ) Gatorade upon arrival because your body will need it. I was sweating like a horse and lack of fluids can easily knock you out and prevent you from achieving your goals to the full extent.
So here we go: contact Juan Ventura to find out if he has any vacancies during your intended travel dates. A summary of his apartments can be found here: http://www.Venpro.net/fotosapartamentos/index.htm
When contacting Juan, be extremely courteous with him as you are a first-time-customer and you will want to leave a good impression.
After all, Juan will be entrusting you with the keys to someone else's apartment for the duration of your stay.
Depending on the season, a place runs anywhere between $60-$120 for a one-bedroom to $220-$350 for a three bedroom apartment. It all depends on whether you prefer an ocean front penthouse or a more humble apartment for a skinnier budget. All apartments are fully furnished, spotless and come with a maid- no hassle. Furthermore, all apartments have huge King size beds with a fresh set of sheets on them (yeah this is important! ) and spacious showers to fit at least two people.
On both of my visits (Aug and Oct. '09), Laguito was my final destination in order to be in close proximity to LDV. Juan has a few places in Bocagrande- check them out, too. Bocagrande seems more vivid (shops, bars, restaurants) than Laguito but Bocagrande is about 5 minutes away from LDV by cab- not the end of the world. If you prefer staying literally across the street from LDV, then Laguito is your #1 choice.
- to be continued in a few minutes.

Let'S get down to business: upon arrival into Cartagena grab a taxi to the apartment. In rare occasions the driver will not know the exact location of the apartment- tell him that it is in proximity of the Laguito Hilton Hotel and he will end up finding it. Cost for a cab ride is 15k pesos for locals and 20k pesos for gringos. The ride usually takes around 15-25 minutes depending on the traffic and time of day. The route to Laguito is actually pretty scenic because you drive right past historic downtown alongside the ocean.
If you've booked a place with Juan, LDV will be less than a 3-minute-walk from your apartment. At first, it was a bit hard to find because there are no imminent signs pointing to it. LDV is located on the second floor right next to a Casino (forget the name of it) and there is a huge outdoor patio leading to it. Simply walk up the stairs and follow the scantly dressed women.
We arrived there at around 11 pm – no cover charge but we were early.
The inside of LDV is like any standard USA or European night club, but what did you expect.. After all, you did not come to Cartagena for LDV, you came for what LDV has to offer. At 11 pm there were roughly 25 chicas present, an hour later the place was packed with roughly 50-60 chicas. All 8's and 9's in all shapes, colors and sizes- and you get to pick and choose.
The most interesting experience was that Colombian women will sort of approach you BUT they do expect the man to take the first step as part of the introduction. In other words, they will walk half way across the room, stand right next to you with an ever-lasting smile, but they won't say a word until you engage them with: "HOLA, what's your name, can I buy you a drink". And before I forget, my Spanish sucks! [did anyone here have a similar experience that the gringo needs to initiate the conversation although everything else is obvious? I am wondering whether this is the same all over Colombia or unique to LDV's "service industry"].
Sit down with the chica, chat for a while, have a few drinks. You sort of wanna warm up to the situation that you are about to take her home.
After all, your main goal is to find out whether there is some chemistry between you and the chica. If you don't care about the personal chemistry and just wanna get on with the humping, you can probably take her outside right away but don't expect a royal treatment in that case as you have just proven to the world that you lack the essentials.
My buddy and I each grabbed a chica, chatted with them and took them to the apartment after having been at LDV for about 90 minutes. The concierge at the front desk of your apartment will know exactly whom you are bringing in as "guest" and the ladies are required to drop off their ID cards for the duration of their stay. This is probably standard procedure anywhere in Laguito for security reasons.
Anyhow, back at apartment, we began price negotiations.
Our chicas were greedy, at first, and asked for 300k pesos for an hour.
$100 is not going to fly (at least in my opinion) because our precious USA dollar has taken a serious hit against the Colombian peso in recent years. $200 for the night is the more likely scenario. Wrestle them, negotiate hard; I put 220k pesos on the table and made it clear that this is all I've got for tonight and this is all I was willing to spend. Also, I told her that if we both enjoy the night, I will invite her to lunch on the following day as well.
As has been pointed out here before, Colombian women are loads of fun, full of live and in general very friendly with a "no problem attitude".
They take great care of themselves and pride themselves on their looks. Outward appearance is a huge deal for Colombian chicas for sure. But be cautioned that Colombia runs on a different clock- after all, you are in South America. Anyhow, first thing that came to my mind was to take her into the shower.. And shortly thereafter we did the "wild thing". XXX was great, not the best I've ever had, but definitely worth the trip and the experience.
Having invited the chica to lunch the next day was an awesome idea because she was our Spanish speaking tour guide for the remainder of the trip. She knew exactly how much to pay for the cab, what and where to eat, where to go and how to behave appropriately – this is important on your first trip to Cartagena (this was my first trip to Latin America by the ways! ), it's a different culture and being with a local is the way to go. She stayed with me until my departure on Monday morning; we went to bars, restaurants and downtown and I very much enjoyed the fact that she was very affectionate and turned the trip into a true GFE.
Went back six weeks later to spend yet another amazing weekend with her. No LDV the second time around as I had already made up my mind of whom to stay with.).
By the ways, if you are a half-way decent looking guy with style and courtesy, it is not impossible for you to "score" for free in Cartagena.
There is a place called "Café del Mar" located on top of a fortress in historic downtown. It's an outdoor bar until midnight and then turns into an outdoor night club. Many of the local chicas go there, including some LDV girls in their "off time".
On my next trip to Cartagena, I will be more stingy and shoot for the freebies first and have LDV as back-up plan. But your Spanish will have to be at least half-way decent if you wish to succeed.
Few more general comments on Cartagena:
Cartegena's beaches are nasty! The city has limited (if any! ) sewage systems and pumps the garbage straight into the Ocean. YUCK!
The worst beach in Florida is still 1000 times better than the best beach Cartagena has to offer. Also, the vendors at the beach can spot a tourist from miles away and will quickly swarm around you like a school of wasps trying to sell you shit and won't let go.
That "Tony Montana" guy is one of these beach-bums, full of shit, apparently running the show. He will approach you with the words:
"Welcome to Cartagena, my name is Tony Montana.".
Our reply was: "No it's not! " and just left him there.
Again, the beach quickly turned into a "no-go-area" for me because it's filthy and nothing more than a tourist trap and the human parasites there are a pain in the ass.
Go to South Beach/Miami, Ft. Lauderdale or Cocoa Beach for gorgeous beaches, clean water and less hassle.
So, this concludes my report. Feel free to post or send your questions.
Will try to answer to the best of my ability.
Cheers!
P. S. Do similar cook-book-scenarios exist on Brazil? Just curious.

My review:
The apartment is very nice. It has central air and fans. I would not say that the air conditioner is extremely powerful, but I was not hot in that place, and I am always hot. There is also hot water which is a huge luxury in Cartagena. The apartment is in pretty good condition although it does not look like it has been renovated anytime recently. There is a nice beach right outside of it to which you can enter straight from the building.
My interactions with Larry were also great. He met me the first day even though my flight was delayed 2. 5 hours. He had the number of towels that I have asked for, and gave me the orientation of the neighborhood. He also arrange a maid service when I asked him very seamlessly.
I would definitely stay there again.

This is not going to be a good report. My driver Juan has given me Francisco's number. I have called him for the drive around Cartagena on my second night. Francisco arrived promptly, and I had a pretty good night that day. Francisco speaks very good English, he is fun, and he took me to cool places in Old City.
The next day, I called him again for the night drive. Francisco said he was busy. No problem at all on my part. We did not make any plans: of course he can be busy. Then Francisco tells that the day after, he would take me to a local party with bull fights. Local Party! Wow! Bull Fights! Wow Wow Wow! I am squealing like a Gringo that I am. I was so excited. Francisco tells me that he would call me at 6pm the next day.
The next day, he called me at 9pm. He said that tomorrow we will go to that local party. Hm, so basically you now say that tomorrow we would do what you said we would have done today? It all started to sound fishy. Still, maybe it was me who misunderstood. We decide that Francisco will pick me up at 11:30am the next day.
The next day, at 11:30am, I call Francisco. He said that he was working. Wait a minute. Should not you be working for me at this hour? Francisco said that he'll be at my apartment in 20 minutes. 20 minutes 40 minutes 1 hour. I call him back. He did not answer his phone. I leave him a message that our local trip is cancelled.
At 2pm, I receive a text message:
Hay <my name I'm here sorry but the police take my car in one emergenci case to translate a men to the hospital
Right. And Bullshit is your middle name. I reply that I do not believe him and that we are done. He replies back, that it was the truth, that he is in front of my apartment with the girl that would not cost me anything. At this point, I call him (all of the above was text), and tell him that we are done. He sent me one last message that even more convinced me that he was full of shit:
Sr sorry for all but pleace letme restart my name and my job with you I like to invite you a lunch a casuela de mariscos pleace and again so so sorry
That was the last I've heard of Francisco.

And why to neglect Malaria?: mad:
Where do you think you were going? Central Africa? There is no yellow fever in Cartagena, and the risk to get sick of food or because of warm climate is the same as in Louisiana.
Reading the above, I think you missed the fresh "coctel de camarones" from the street vendors in front of the Reloy (Lemaitre, Parque Centenario). Fresh, tasty and cheap. I am sorry for you.
I had 1 or 2 of them every day during my 4-day stay. Too bad there is no Anti-Colestherol vaccination.

Thanks. Much appreciated. I can't help in recommending a hotel because it would only be heresay as I've never stayed in a hotel in Cartagena. That being said, I can highly recommend staying in an apartment rented from either Juan or Mery. Most guys find the aparments to be of better value, more private, more spacious, more girl-friendly, etc, etc, etc. I'd personally only stay in a hotel in CTG if I was traveling with say: a gf from my home country or with my folks / sisters, I. E, people who I'd prefer to only know the old city and tourist sites, LOL. You may want read what others have to say about stayting in a hotel versus an apartment on the Cartagena Reports thread. Go back in the thread to say 9 months ago and read forward to the current posts. Or do a search on the word "hotel" in that thread.
If you are going to CTG, stay in a apartment, like hilltopper said. You can find Juan ventura or mery by doing a search. Hotels are a waste of money and usually have restrictions. The apartments are larger and a better deal in CTG.
Greetings to all:
I'll be going to Cartagena for the first time soon. I've looked through the large list of hotels, not knowing what's a good chica-friendly hotel and what isn't?
Can any of the veteran's help me with some recommendations?
Thanks. Much appreciated.

Most hotels with want a few bucks.
Sometimes if you rent a room for two people, you may not be bothered paying extra.
I have stayed at this hotel a few times. I never brought anyone to Hotel, but the people that work there, seem like you should have to much of a problem.
There is a love motel a few doors down the street, for a quickie.

I started a map. A few places aren't listed yet. Some places are ballpark locations seeing Googles satelite photos are not always recent. Add whatever you guys feel the need to add, apartments, disco's, atm's, Casas. Pleyclub and El Paraiso del Marino Club are harder to locate so they are not listed yet. I will work on map contiuously until it is correct, current and accurate.

Beach-girls info if anyone wants to know. Playa hollywood, which is the lagito main beach area, infront of the hotel dan, is a busy spot and I will give out a great contact. I reccomend walking there even if you are in bocagrande cause its all close. For those who don't know. There are a million beach hustlers trying to get you to sit at their cabanas, chairs etc. I have been here 4 years and always trust fillippo. He can hook you up with everything. And he is very fair. He will set you up. With no fee. N
I started a map. A few places aren't listed yet. Some places are ballpark locations seeing Googles satelite photos are not always recent. Add whatever you guys feel the need to add, apartments, disco's, atm's, Casas. Pleyclub and El Paraiso del Marino Club are harder to locate so they are not listed yet.

Sorry.
Anyone has Juan Ventura email? I have trouble finding it here in the lists forum and nothing comes up with google search. Thanks in advance.
Thanks Yujin. I actually just found his old email address in my old emails.
Been messaging with luis castelar posso. Can anyone here vouch for this guy? He wants 450K for 2 bdr in tore del lago with 50 percent deposit via wire transfer.I rented three times with him, but a one bedroom apartment in Torre del Lago. Last time in May 2011. But 450K for a two bedroom apartment per night seems a bit expensive. However also depends on the season. I paid through bank transfer once. A lot of exchange losses, but I do not live in a USD country. Then I decided that it is actually less expensive to do it via Western Union. He was very correct and only went to get the final payment when I actually arrived although I did it some days prior to my arrival. There is something to critizise with him: He will ask you every second day if you want to book excursions with him.

I am going with Juan and one of his older apartments. I am wary of sending money over wire to someone who doesn't have a lot of people vouch for him; not saying he's not trustworthy just that I don't have enough information to trust him. Thanks for your feedback though, I'll try to meet him in person this time.

What's he doing, including a chica at your disposal 24 hours a day?

Here is a contact I got from one of my friends in Cartagena. I have the person's buisness card in my hand Dolores Urrechurto Ramos for apartments in Torre del Lago email is doloresuramos@hotmail.com Another option for chica friendly apartment I think is Locogringo2's apartment bottom floor that faces Terra Bomba. I would steer clear of Mirador I may take it off my list I no longer recommend that building. I am looking forward to the Intercontinental getting done I have had no issues with that chain in the past, the Radisson will be finished soon but not sure if I want to stay by the airport.
Is anyone familiar with the Bocagrande apartment in the photo attached (girl friendly, secure)?
Thanks,

Any experience with Blanco Infinito or one of the newer luxury apartments? Anyone has a contact to rent an apartment there?

Thanks for all your updates.
Short Time Hotels / Motels
6. DUNES. Las Dunas is Canapote, Carrera 17 # 62-19. Not far from Jaiba, in a nearby barrio. Deluxe accommodation, better quality than Jaiba, more expensive, but still very cheap for the service provided: 30k 2 hours (2007 price)!
Standard price to go there by taxi: 10k from El Centro (15k from Bocagrande) , max 12k at late night. Ask before going, so you will be not overcharged. Give the driver a 2000k tip. I was told 15k from El Centro. It depends how you look and how greedy is the driver (and how willing you are to be overcharged).
The taxi driver will charge you more to go back (15k). The motel will call you a taxi for you.First wanted to say thanks again to World Travel 69 for the list! I used Las Dunas for the first time this past month. The rack rate posted on the inside of the door was 19k per hour. When it came time to pay (through the little slot window) , the guy asked me for 57k, but when I questioned him about it, he came back in a couple of minutes and said it was 38k. I didn't keep track of the exact time (it had been a long night) , but knew it was more than one hour and couldn't have been more than two. 38k agreed with the posted hourly rate for two hours, so that's what I paid.
I paid the same as above for the taxi. 10k from El Centro (late night) and 15k back to Bocagrande / Laguito (which included dropping the chica off near El Centro and another stop before my apartment).
King size bed, a / see, enclosed shower (cold) , equipped bathroom, music box, mirrors, soap, condom, paper sanitary socks, fresh towels, house phone to ring manager, etc.
Taxi pulls you into a garage that is adjacent / attached to your room. Management calls you a taxi when you ask, opens the garage door upon the taxi's arrival, and out you go.
Obviously raises the cost of one's session, but if you are in need of discretion / privacy and want a deluxe accommodation in a relatively safe environment, then Las Dunas certainly will suit just fine.

Just if others have the same questions: I am having Claro right now and have the impression that not many people have it and that it is quite expensive. There are two other mayor providers Movistar and another local one, I have the impression that the local one is the most common. Maybe this is the best option.

Best cellular carrier in Cartagena depends on who provides the best coverage in you house / apartment. All wireless carriers here are inferior to what you'd find in first world countries. Most of the girls have Tigo, because that is the cheapest. Best place to buy Claro sim cards is in their office on San Martin or their office on the second floor of Caribe Plaza. Depending on how many minutes you buy, you will generally get promotional minutes gratis.

As a foreigner I think the best / simplest are virgin mobile and uff. Virgin mobile is straight forward. No weird bonuses and varied rates and bullshit. You pay one price for calls, one price for texts and they charge you by the second, not the minute. That way you don't have to worry about who has what operator, it's 150 pesos (about 8 cents US) to any colombian mobile phone and I think 300 pesos to a landline. 100 pesos for a text (140 characters). The by the second thing is great, too, you don't have to sweat that three minute and one second call costing you more. They don't have their network, they piggyback onto movistar's. It sucks, but so do all of them.

La vitrola and club pesca are the only fine dining worth checking out, at least that I have experienced.Crepes & Waffles is medium priced casual fare. And the mexican crepe is fantastic and the desert crepes are fantastic.
Cafe San Pedro in Centro (old City) is a nice place with decent food , a little more upscale, but not so bad, if you do not have reservations you will eat outside, which can be nice too.
Oh La La is a great place to take a date.. the ambiance is nice... the food is good (a sort of french cuisine) and the price is a little more...
I have also eaten at El Bistro in the old city and it was decent, I got the best piece of beef there for a reasonable price..
and for desserts (If you are into desserts and coffee), do not even think about passing on the opportunity to try
Panderia y Pasteleria Mila..... ( It says Mila outside in gold letters) Calle de la Iglesia 35-76 It is one block over from plaza santo domingo and I will attache a photo for you from Google street maps.

Have you eaten at 'Juan del Mar'?Fine dining, yes. In old city. Plaza San Diego. Indoor and outdoor (patio is nice). Live Cuban music. Don't be in a hurry. Don't be on a budget. For the money, go to Club de Pesca.

Agreed, Club Pesca D Manga is a much better setting with a bit better food. Juan del Mar is fine if someone is dying to go or you're in town a while and want some variety, but it didn't bowl me over. La Vitrola also has great food, but overpriced in many cases (e. G. Various carpaccios there). Cevecheria is a half block from Hotel Santa Clara. It has been around for many years. The setting is simple but outside you have a nice feel from the old city. Prices are reasonable, they prepared me some massive lobster dishes for $17-$30 depending on the exact dish.
Was looking for a list of taxi drivers to show me around to clubs, girls, beaches, houses etc.
Found a list in this section from 2011. Anything more recent?
Hello fellas,
I haven't been on this board in years, I've mostly been travelling to the PI and the DR, can somebody help this old timer get back into the game on great dating sites that's legit, I'm looking for a nice girl to hang with while I'm in Barranquilla or CTG, does anybody have any sites they can lead me to or people who has dating agencies.
Any of guys ventured out to this island for a day or two. Looks like a short boat ride. There also seems to be a hotel on the island called "Isla arena beach club". I am trying to find a good (white soft sand and not dirty) beach within an hour of Cartagena. If this island is not the one, any other ideas? Beaches of Santa Marta are too far. Alternatively, Tolu and Covenas seem to have decent beaches. Please share your thoughts and help me out here. Thank you.

Find one of the locals to take you through the mangroves by boat, it was cool. There is also a small village buried in the forest that they will take you to. I stayed at Cocoliso resort, it was just okay. There is a more upscale resort next to it that looked ten times better but I forget the name offhand.
Questner, Kukkulcan, World traveller 69 and Manizales911: Thank you for taking the time to reply. It is refreshing to be able ask a genuine question and get a straight reply.

Thank you.Playa Blanca is the only thing I'm aware of that qualifies as a "good white soft sand and not dirty" beach within an hour of Cartagena. Unfortunately accommodations are rustic. Actually I don't remember any accommodations, but see on the internet that you can rent cabanas and hammocks. The tours of Islas de Rosario stop there, or you can go overland or get a boat to take you if you want to stay overnight.
While Manizales is usually spot on, I'd take issue with him on this. I stayed at San Pedro de Majagua, the other hotel on Isla Grande, and like him had a good time. However what they've got there is a very poor excuse for a beach.

I followed the link posted by World Traveller. They offer an overnight beach "camping" in playa Blanca. That is quite intriguing. It could be great fun if you are there with the right girl. I am quite adventurous and I don't mind bit more risk for lot more fun. I will price it out when I get there.

I found this Cartagena prepago website. It is in Spanish:
http://www.chicasprepagocolombia.com/v01/cartagenacaliente.com/
http://www.chicasprepagocolombia.com/v01/cartagenacaliente.com/quienes-somos
I translated the front page with google translate. You can just type the website on https://translate.google.com/ and you can translate the whole site from Spanish to English or other language. Here is the translated info:
This site contains pornographic material for adults only. To access this content you. Declares to be of age and not considered offensive to erotic material.
Cartagenacaliente.com aims, just listing the best and most beautiful escorts, pre-payments and Cartagena.
Hookers in Cartagena map:
Gethsemane.
Walking from the Clock Tower after eight in the evening, on a tour of Gethsemane different prostitutes ranging in price and look beautiful. It is safest not to go far in streets like Arsenal and best to stay in front of the Convention Center. However, whether for a few beers, always worth strolling through Gethsemane.
Bocagrande and Little Lake.
The best area of Cartagena hotel boasts large, upscale, expensive apartments and hookers everywhere. Some professionals are accommodated in the San Martin Avenue and other, more exclusive, care home in hotel rooms and apartments in the neighborhood. However, on the second floor of the Pierino Gallo shopping center -carrera 1 1 A bouncers promise "everything" in La Dolce Vita. What you choose is "to go".
Forest.
In this large residential and commercial area go unnoticed, without disguise, the most famous brothels between Cartagena. Some have notice on your door, but if you tell the taxi driver to take you "outside the Supreme", find a good destination with comfortable prices. Ask for Luxor 2 -after the scale, toll-like before, -so Pleyclub with E-, International and Stockings, which are in the freight corridor and open their doors every night.
Country.
Paradise Marine is perhaps the best club in Cartagena: spacious, open 24 hours, it describes itself as the place "where the pleasure never ends", it is safe and with an offer that gives you the right to claim that Colombian women are the best in the world. Local tradition is that girls are to wear. For those unfamiliar with the city can get quite complicated.
Antwerp.
This is a popular neighborhood of steep streets and little security. However, all Cartagena know where "the house of Dew", famous for having erotic massage with best price and highest quality of the city is. Of course, with a little more money massage can become something more. It is no exaggeration: a long line of taxis parked on the block confirms that drivers are willing to wait at the door for you to leave.
Bazurto.
This tour can be depressing and is best done accompanied by some native and not wonder where is the police while all sorts of crimes in the eyes of passers make. In the most dangerous area of Cartagena Women of all ages are distributed -admitámoslo: there are also smaller working- willing to do anything for any amount of money. Never hurts to continue to report what happens in Bazurto.
Avenida Pedro de Heredia.
In the most important avenue of Cartagena is all, but among the Estadio El Amparo and there are several options: from homosexual prostitution in the Paseo de la Castellana, to places like Chica Rica Cacique -along Show at petrol station Amparo, Allondra front -right or Bonanza Square Toros-. A tour after ten o'clock at night can show the different facets of this area including motels and very affordable prices.

VITROLA: overpriced, not worth the price if you look at its quality.
JUAN DEL MAR: good, but the menu is repetitive, always the same since many, too many years (Avoid tables with aircon (freezing!) or too close to the band (too loud! Best tables are next to the door.
My best pick in Bocagrande:
CARBON DE PALO: for steaks on charcoal.
My best picks in Centro:
SANTISIMO: I think the best fine dining I could recommend, if you have a nice elegant novia who understands quality of food.
QUEBRACHO: the best steak house in CTG. Argentinian style, excellent quality of food, service, ambient. Not too cold. Volume of live music allows also to have conversation. My safe haven when I go to CTG.
LA MULATA: only for lunch, daytime only, for typical local style food. Fantastic.
Many others are good, but these are superior in my opinion.
Hello guys!
What about exchanges in Cartagena?
Last days, USD become more and more expensive (30-40.000 cop).
I don't like cards, so I will take only cash. I think it will be better to change money every day, not only one time. What the difference between Bloomberg and XE rates and the rate purchase in CTG?

Here is some listing for places in Barranquilla to check and that Cerebro recommends.
http://colombia.adultsearch.com/barranquilla/strip-club-brothel/order/video_cnt/orderway/2
1) Juernes Night Club-Brothel- at Cra. 46 #73-26, Barrio Prado, Barranquilla, Colombia.
Some good / high end quality girls here all most are well dressed. Some girls could be pricey here too over 100 k for the hour and up and up. Price is negotiated with the girls. There is a high take out fee so is best to do the girls here. 30 k for the room in there. Beers are cheap.
Strip Club & Brothel. Cerebro recommends this place, but make sure you negotiate prices down to at least haft of what the girls ask. You may have to approach them after you find one you like or if one you like is making eye contact you because they stay sitting at the bar or tables waiting for the guys to go to them.
2) La Hoja-Disco Bar-Club Nocturno-Brothel-At Cra 44 #72-243, Barrio Prado, Barranquilla, Colombia.
Strip Club & Brothel- I visited this place nearby Juernes at it is lesser social class than Juernes, girls as cheap as 50 K for the hour and up. Some cute girls and some ugly girls too and they don't wear fancy dresses, and you could tell by way they dress that some are lower class girls. Room is 20 k here. There is a take out fee if you want to take the girl out. Beers are cheap. Cerebro recommends this place at least to look around and drink a beer and you may find a cheap jewel 'like I did. Price is cheaper cause girl quality / social status is lower. Girls are not aggressive and if you just sit down drinking a beer, you will get a chance to look at them. You have to call them or sit next to them to engage them. They may approach you and ask you for a beer if they are interested in you. Beers are mad cheap 3 K so giving them a beer is not that bad to start a conversation with them. If you don't like them, just don't engage them much in conversation or look at them much and they will know and won't bother you.
3) Siglo XXL.
Strip Club & Brothel.
Calle 39 26 - 94.
4) El Tunel Del Amor.
Strip Club & Brothel.
Calle 39 26 B-Cordialidad (across from Siglo XXL).
Massage places / sex spa.
1) Message Relax Total, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqQYaUUW0ho service is 90 K for a complete sexual massage. The place has rooms for fucking and the room is included with the 90 K. Some nice looking girls in here. The quality varies day by day / hour and is unpredictable because the girl come and go at different hours / days and take their days off on different days.
At Carrera 46 64-37, Barrio Boston, Barranquilla, Colombia.
320 520-589-6091 3046501478. Cerebro recommends this place.
2) Zero Stress, service is 100 k for the hour for a complete sexual massage. The place has rooms with no bathroom 20 k, and 30 K with bathroom. Some nice looking girls here. The quality varies by day and hour by hour cause different girls come and go at different hours / days and take their day off on different days. Cerebro recommends this place.

Beers are mad cheap 3 K so giving them a beer is not that bad to start a conversation with them. If you don't like them, just don't engage them much in conversation or look at them much and they will know and won't bother you.

It simply is not needed. If you want to visit tourist sites, rent an apartment from Juan Ventura and he will be very happy to provide you all the information you will need free of charge. If you want to explore the girls, simply read the forum, as all the places you would want to see as first time visitor to Cartagena are mentioned numerous times on the Cartagena thread. Lastly, send a private message to one of the regular posters on the Cartagena thread. Most would be willing to help you. Save the money you would give to CartaAngel who I believe is the actual guide he is referencing above, and spend the money on yourself having fun.

http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?3001-UrbanWildlife-in-ColombiaOld parr, Any first time visitor has the right to choose whether or not he or she needs or desires a knowledgeable tour guide to help them save time and not to have to worry about figuring out things while looking to have fun, Fabio is very honest and not as expensive as you make it seem.
Second: I have referred friends to Juan Ventura's condos before and they have had stuff stolen from their condos, specially in PLAYA MAR building and why are you always referring Juan Ventura BTW?, Fabio is a good friend and I am only trying to help him out in a way I can, he introduced me to my future wife.
EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW IT IS OK TO STAY IN A HOTEL WITH NO PROBLEM AND MUCH SAFER AS LONG AS THE LADIES YOU ARE BRINGING ALONG HAVE REAL ID'S.
The only one hotel I wouldn't recommend is: hotel Caribe, they are real jack-asses there, but hotels such as: Hotel Dann, hotel Hilton both the ones in Laguito and bocagrande location by Capilla del Mar are fine.
And third: I wish I were Fabio, so I could live the happy life he has.
When it comes to rentals Juan Ventura is the most respected and appreciated person in the rental business on possibly the entire ISG Forum. You would be very hard pressed to find anyone, anywhere to say a bad word about him, or anyone who has had any type of problem with his rentals.
Your attempt to criticize Juan Ventura is laughable, and it only goes to show how low a person will go to try to attain business for themselves. All anyone has to do is do a name search of Juan Ventura on the Colombia forum, and the posts speak for themselves. To answer your question about why I continually recommend Juan, look no further than what I just wrote. He is the best of the best.
I'm planning a trip to Cartagena. Has anyone used Colombia Rents to book their lodging. They have a 3 bedroom unit for rent at Torres del Lago. One of the members in my group has stayed there and really liked it. I've tried Juan and Mery as recommended on this site, but neither has a 3 br available there.
My concern is that Colombia Rents what's 50% upfront paid by Western Union.

When it comes to rentals Juan Ventura is the most respected and appreciated person in the rental business on possibly the entire ISG Forum. You would be very hard pressed to find anyone, anywhere to say a bad word about him, or anyone who has had any type of problem with his rentals.
Your attempt to criticize Juan Ventura is laughable, and it only goes to show how low a person will go to try to attain business for themselves. All anyone has to do is do a name search of Juan Ventura on the Colombia forum, and the posts speak for themselves. To answer your question about why I continually recommend Juan, look no further than what I just wrote. He is the best of the best.Juan Ventura is a person with the utmost integrity. To suggest otherwise is to show your ignorance of a well known fact here on the board. Basta ya!

Have done repeat business with him and he offers discounts when you do repeat business! Had a problem where the stupid visa people set off a security trip line cut off my bank card (AFTER I TOLD THE FOOLS I WAS GOING TO BE IN Colombia!) , Juan was not only patient but offered to loan me money to eat while I got it sorted out. Luckily I was able to use wifi to access skype and call my bank to get it fixed because my phone does not work in Colombia (I always buy a SIM for my travel phone, but you need a bank card aye?) So yes Juan is the MAN!

https://www.facebook.com/ELEKTRACLUBCARTAGENA/info/?tab=page_infoWhat is the point of posting this when the place has been closed for what seems an eternity now?
If I am reading the map right (and I probably am not), it looks to me that there are no real love hotel options near LDV (except possibly El Pueblito? So if I find a girl I like at LDV, I would need to have an Apartment to bring her to? (I am staying at the Intercontinental, which I presume is not Chica friendly) The apartments designated on the list don't seem to have availability on the date I am looking for. I can find other apartments on airbnb, but what I don't know is whether I would have a problem bringing a chica to my room if it is not an apartment on these lists.
Appreciate the help and advice.

Decided not to stay overnight in CTG but to continue on to Bogota after a few hour layover. I'm looking for a good restaurant near the airport to meet a female friend for lunch. Having never been to Cartagena I would appreciate a recommendation.
Thanks.

It works the same as the Medellin Map. Click on the link and ask permission. Sometimes you need to have a Google account.

It is not an error message. It is a permission message to see the Map.
I requested permission, but have not received it.
The only reason why I can think that Hillbilly has stopped giving permission is the same as to what happen on the first Medellin Map. Matt made the first Map, but realized that too many idiots were making asses of themselves and he killed it.
If you use My List you can make your own Map.

Their Map shows it on Carrera 6, but it says 5 on their Map pin and my info.
Which is Right?
So, is LDV on 6 or 5?

EDIT:
I would remove Elektra for now. I know it is back but I am not sure you have it in the right place because it has moved.

Apart from wham bam action, seeking long unrushed 4 handed massage in CTG and while doing search came across this place - https://es-la.facebook.com/therubspa/.
Exchanged couple of text messages and in reply got a standard copy-and-paste of location / types of massages / prices. The text message said (non sex), not sure about that. May be you can add this place to the CTG list. The address is on the Facebook like posted.

Is there a Cartagena Regular who can tell me when La Dolce Vita moved. I've Not been gone so long that I do not remember that I don't know that WorldTravel69 is the best Chica cartographer of Cartagena and since the map now shows that LDV is no longer in El Lagiuto? When did it move? Does it still have that drink minimum. I remember when you only had to buy the girl two drinks.

Where have you been?
You could search for it, as ito when La Dolce Vita moved.
I could do that, but I have been working a lot of time helping you guys get laid.
My map is fairly new, because the other one was deleted by the owner.

That's my bad World Travel 69, old age is making me senile. I looked back through the post and see in my messages when I was communicating about the map and realized the map maker I was thinking of was Hillbilly69. When I looked back through the most recent post there is a gap in the dates showing No Posts between a post dated 5-8-17 and the World Travel 69 post dated 11-30-18. Then I go back a short way in the forum and see this discussion that was started about Hillbilly69's map and people having trouble accessing this map. (because of this gap in posts I don't know how far behind the curve I am) I have no problems accessing this map. I even copied the URL and pasted into another browser and it came right up ( in that browser I am not signed in to Google Maps.
This is his old map. It is probably mostly outdated by now. But I notice that the when I pasted the URL in here the forum automatically changes it into a hyperlink and when doing so it shortens it, and then no one can actually copy and paste the whole URL so I am going to try this trick: I am going to paste the URL in sand leave a gap in it to try to prevent the forum from converting it into a hyperlink and then users can copy and paste the sections into a browser and delete the gap before hitting enter. I tested this and it worked for me.

Copy the whole URL as I have it typed below (I put a space between www.google and the remainder of the URL) paste this into the browser address bar, then delete the space between www.google and .com before hitting enter

Has anyone been to the Rub Spa? Any up to date prices for full hour of action?
Thanks.
Here is an updated List to go with the Map.Any chance of adding good and chica friendly hotels to this list? Or is there a separate list for hotels? Thanks for the great work!
Are most of the hotels in Cartegena chica friendly or is it better to rent an apartment? If renting apartment, better to go with a local provider or AirBnB? Thanks!
