View Full Version : Cartagena Reports
While I have not yet had a problem with him, I still do not trust him as far as I could throw him. I have also heard about some guy having his drink spiked and being rolled for some several hundreds of thosand pesos.
In 2007, there was an incident where two guys from Puerto Rico staying at the Hotel Dann were falsely accused of having cocaine by one of Tony's girls. they had to pay off the cops 1,000,000 COP in order to get out of jail.
every trip there is always Tony trying to overcharge for beers also. I take that part of it in stride because I do not drink too much, but somehow 3 beers X 2000 cop equals 8000 or 10000 COP in tony's form of multiplication. Sometimes I say Fuck You heres 6000 cop, or sometimes It is not worth even mentioning.
There is numerous stories about guys ending up with 100000 or even 200000 COP tabs. Then scenes are created, with eventually the newbie standing down and getting ripped off.
While treeshark may or may not be exaggerating, to think that Tony is a wonderful guy and trustworthy makes me wonder if the person saying these glowing things about " fuck you, buy me a beer, lend me 100000 COP" Tony has lost it?
I tend to based on what treeshark states and what others have stated, watch Tony like a hawk, never drink much at all, and only bring a minimal amount of money with me to the beach at any time. Does and can Tony offer a valuable service? yes he can, but watch your ass.

Why stay at an overpriced hotel? Just stay at an apartment. You will never have to worry about chica fees.
I am heading down to Cartagena at the end of February.
It's my first down there in a couple of years.
Can anyone fill me in on the the chica fees at the big hotels?
Hilton, Almirante, Hotel Dann?

Actually Tony is Sicilian. You gotta be kidding me, he has an IQ of 80 and lives in a shithouse in a bad section of Cartagena. His gold tooth is even fake.
This gringo has stayed there with his gf, tho not wg, and met with narry a slightly off look. Most friendly, staff and other guests alike.
But I would agree its overpriced.Yes I agree there is no problem when both of you register and the girl is not a hooker. My point is that if you bring a streetwalker or a mini skirted silicone sister from LDV you might encounter some problems. Personally I don't need the added stress of worrying if I can get a girl into a overpriced room when there are alternatives.
This Tony thing has been posted and talked about on numerous occasions, including not that long ago, people enjoy him, or they seem to hate him. I find him to be rather amusing, entertaining, and comical, as well as being a pain in the butt. The beach is his livelihood, and he works it hard. You cannot blame him for that, as it pays his rent, puts food in his mouth, and takes care of all his responsibilities and habits he might have. I give the guy credit for not just sitting on his ass. If he was such a mafioso, why the fuck would he be working the beach?. Lastly, if he was such this awful person, why do so many people who go to the beach in Cartagena ask for him?. There is not another hussler on the beach who has such a following as Tony does. There is a reason for this, and it is not because he is a mafioso or stealing from othersExactly, this Tony guy has been debated over many times.
It ain't rocket science. Just take the guy for what he is.
He's helpful if you need him, just let him know up front what you'll be paying, that you won't be fooled or ripped off and he works just fine.
Will he take advantage of the the unexpecting? Of course.
He'll charge whatever he can get away with.
He can, however, be useful if needed.
There's a guy like him in every town in South America. Period.
Have fun guys
The massage girls are very sneaky and also need to be watched, especially if they work in groups. They will try to upsell you and then will quote outrageous prices like $ 40000 cop, give them no more than 10K, 15K tops. And get the price up front.
I made the mistake once of have one of them gave me a message, then her friend kept bothering me to give her a pedicure. There was no fucking way I was going to risk a pedicure with unsanitary conditions. Then another group of majasitas came over and gave the girl that was giving me a message a real hard time threatening her and making a lot of noise, so finally I got up out of the chair and got right into the face of the leader of the group. I was pissed beyond belief.
Never again. I believe Treeshark about Emily being a thief.
I am sure the cops that work the beach all know Tony and get a propina from him. No doubt. After seeing what the two Puerto ricans went through in 2007.
Lets not kid ourselves, the people who work the beach do not see us as people, but as banks.
And once you befriend one, like buying the cheap jewelry, they will swarm you like locusts.
5% of them are decent, 95% are not.

If you can only remember one thing it is that no one there is looking to make a friend .Every word a local street guy or chica utters is designed to seperate you from your pesos, kind of like the US government!

Hi!
Is there some hotels that has a "private" part of the beach, that the touts can't enter?
I would gladly pay a entrancefee, if this is possible.
Thanks,

Ken ApplesThere are no private beaches. However, the beach behind Playa Mar in Laguito is much more quiet as is the Hilton beach. The beach along Castillo Grande is quiet as well.

Ken ApplesYes, the hotel "Las Americas" has a private beach, and yes you can buy a day pass to use the beach and facilities which include the swimming pools. Fee also includes lunch and 2 free drinks. The hotel is on the other side of the airport from Bocagrande.

I was pretty sure the Hilton beach was private. Certainly I've never been bothered there.Privacy is in the definition. I lived a couple of buildings down from the Hilton for 4 years and used that beach many times for swimming and walking. I never paid anything.
The Hilton security guards do keep the touts away.
Pretty much every beach that does not run along Bocagrande or the west end of Laguito is relatively tout-free.
I am not familiar with the beaches past the airport.

I was pretty sure the Hilton beach was private. Certainly I've never been bothered there.Prior to departing I had read on this forum that the beach behind the Hilton was private and tout free. But as soon as I stepped out of the Hilton and onto the sand I was swarmed by touts, guys were trying to sell me boat trips, offering me all sorts of services and one woman started rubbing her greasy massage cream on my arm. Meanwhile an inept looking guy in a blue security uniform just stood there doing nothing. Maybe I just picked a bad day to go.

Went out to Pleyboy and stopped in the casas that are also located in that general area. Pleyboy had alot of quality girls, most I spoke to were from Medellin. However, I arranged to meet a feisty and beautiful morena from Cali after she got off of work. Price was never discussed, but I did give her 100,000 pesos moments ago when I walked her out to the taxi. She was very grateful for that, and actually asked me for my contact info. I definitely want to see her again. She has a great attitude and was so much fun, not to mention her beauty was stunning to say the least. Rocio had by far the most quality girls of the casas. I also made it out to the black delicioso area. I do not advise going out to this barrio unless you are with a Colombiano or have the look of one, and speaking spanish is a must. Most of the discos are small, and most are set up where you have to sit at a table. I am one who likes to walk around and stand up at the bar. All in all I like this area because it gets me away from the tourist traps, and I am able to meet quite a few girls who have not met anyone other than Colombianos in the lives. Your peso also goes alot further as beer and drink prices are a quarter of what you would be paying in the Tu Candelas, LDV's, e.c.t. You can also buy yourself a bottle of liquor instead of just buying individual drinks in this area, which makes it much more cost effective. In my tour of bars/discos I also went to the Getsemani area. Checked out several of the bars including Havana. Nothing really special to speak of.
After I left Pleyboy, my night in the bars was basically all about talking to the chicas, and seeing if it was possible if I could get them to go with me based on conversation and game, even though I knew it would take an exceptional girl to take me away from meeting the chica from Pleyboy. It was also a back up plan if the girl from Pleyboy did not come through, I at least had some telephone numbers to call.
I am really not into writing this post right now, so I will try to add to it later, as I am tired, feeling still buzzed from the Old Pa Whiskey, as well as being hungover all at the same time. I was suppose to go to Cali this morning but could not bring myself to go to the airport, so I am going to take a later flight. Will be there only for a couple of days, as I have a trip booked to Thailand on February 11th, departing from the U.S. It is now time to go and get an order of camarón con arroz from Julias restaurant at the bottom of the apartments, Edificio Marinare, and take it back to my apartment. For those that like great food at a reasonable price you should check it out. I mentioned this place previously, and I know Tom33 did as well. Probably will not make it back to Cartagena until possibly the end of June, and I say possibly, because I am looking at going to Guayaquil, Ecuador, and Venezuela during this same time period with another member of the forum, so we will see what happens. If I do come back I will spend 2 or 3 weeks here, and a week to 10 days in Santa Marta/Rodadero. I advise anyone who has extra time to go and checkout Santa Marta/Rodadero. The beaches are very beautiful, and there are many things to do during the daytime hours. It would also be a great place to go if you meet a chica in Cartagena that you are really attracted to, and want to spend some quality time with. I can promise you, she would be very happy to accept your invitation to go to Santa Marta/Rodadero. There are several van pools that will pick you up in front of your apartment/hotel in Cartagena, and it is about a 4 to 4.5 hour ride. The cost is about $40.00 dollars I believe. If you do go, I highly recommend you take her to Parque Tayrona by boat (launcha) departing from a small village called Taganga.

Hey Urban,
I don't know if you remember me but you provided some very useful information on the Hotel Dona Susana and I had a pleasant stay there last June (2008). I know I and many other appreciate your posts on the Colombia and PVR forums and hope you won't leave the PVR board. I hope to catch you down there on one of your trips in the future. Its not my rule or the forum's rule that good deeds go unapreciated, but it is Life's Rule. This kind of endeavor makes for fast quick friends and thats what you get.

Any suggestions for a Captain who has a boat we can charter for the day for some non-stop partying? We are planning to visit Playa Blanca and the nearby islands and have heard the way to go is our own boat. Also, would you recommend that we bring some of Cartagena's finest ladies along? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
We took a boat to islands with nenas in Dec. Had a great time. Boats are available at TodoMar marina. contact is [Email address deleted by Admin]. Many different size boats available. They include Capt. and assistant.
Good luck

I have rented a boat/captain and crew several times for day trips to the Rosario Islands. Usually there were 3/4 guys and at least that many chicas, always for a party, 1 time for fishing but that lasted only an hour before we did more exciting things. It is not cheap, cost upwards of $1000 and then the extras. I also "rentad" a camp on Baru with Captain, boat, cook, etc and had 6 ho's for 3 gringos. That was probably the best trip, strip and bj contests, more lobster and grouper than we could eat, day trips for snorkeling (scuba and island hopping was available), and plenty of pussy. The girls were from a local casa and came with the knowledge that their pussy was available to all 3 guys, no real problems. That cost a few dollars but was worth it imho. We had the girls for the night before leaving, each had 2 girls, then switched off the next day at the camp and again later. Expensive but worth every peso imho, probably $2700 for everything. Laying on Hollywood Beach is a whole lot cheaper but that trip was a hell of a party. I may do it again soon, hope that we can work it out. You need chicas without an attitude and same for the guys. I got pics, need to find them.

A report on my lack of success trolling around Cartagena:
First, to tell new folks in town that it's completely dead Sunday through Wednesday. Most clubs and bars are closed, and those that are open are completely empty.
Thursday at midnight and Friday at 2 am I checked out several of the places listed here.
Isis. It's awfully dark, so it's hard to really see the girls. Although there is a stripper pole, it's not used. It's really just a bar to meet girls where you know you'll be able to sleep with them if you want (by paying dearly). Also, many of the girls are not dressed to kill. A lot of them wear jeans. I would say they average in looks around a 7. Another thing I didn't like is that a simple rum and coke was $15, 000! Does that seem right?
Queens. Don't know why, but it was completely empty both times I wandered in (to be fair, the first time was a Tuesday night. But the other time was 2am on Friday, when it should have been hopping). Too bad, I'd read great things about this place. Maybe I'll try again. Again, it's just a bar (with a dancefloor).
Tu Candela. A fun bar, but I didn't see any real stunners.
Elektra. Empty. I only checked this place once, at 2 am on Friday night. Maybe it wasn't late enough yet? _______________
On Wednesday night I was dining alone at a restaurant. As occassionally happens, the waiter befriended me. Later in the conversation, he says he has some girl friends he'd like to introduce me to. In the back of my head I'm thinking, "is this a scam? " but I say sure, call them over. On the chance that it's actually some friendly locals. Half an hour later, two old skanky *****s show up. Friends of his, sure. After 10 minutes of polite conversation, I excuse myself.
On Friday night I run into this same waiter at a bar, he is there with his girlfriend, both having just gotten off work. They buy me drinks, she seems very genuine, we're having a great time. Friends of theirs wander by and get introduced to me. Near closing time, an 18-year old friend of theirs ends up sitting with us. She's not that attractive, but worth a shot, I figure. We all jump in a cab to a beach somewhere, but the girl is whining that she's cold. So then we go to a fancy club, but she doesn't like that either. Finally I say, "would you like to just come back to my hotel? " (of course my cheap hotel doesn't allow guests, so I'm thinking Jaiba. But the cabbies haven't heard of it! ) So we end up downtown and find a free hotel eventually. This is all going really well, I'm thinking. We get in the room, start undressing, and then she drops the bomb. Sure enough, she's a hooker. Maybe I'm really gullible, but I really did think she was just a friend of theirs. Weird how they set me up like that without tipping me off. OK, I think, I'll pay at this point. But she's asking for $120k. And by this point it's 6am, so I'm sure we'll only get an hour in before she takes off. Plus she wouldn't do BBBJ, and had a stank attitude. So I'm trying to work her price down when she starts dressing. Fine, I think, it's better not to waste the money. Weird though that she didn't want to negotiate. Then she won't let me leave the room without at least cab fare. So I finally toss her a $20k and stumble out into the morning sunshine with a terrible case of blue balls, LOL.
Now I don't want to ruffle any feathers here, but it's beginning to seem like Cartagena is not a great town for mongering. Don't get me wrong, I love the city. Stunning architecture, great live music, friendly people. But I saw much hotter Colombian girls in Panama!
I also haven't tried all the clubs mentioned. Like La Dolce Vida or Pleyclub. Is Pleyclub an actual strip club, where you can view the merchandise before purchasing, as it were?

Never again. I believe Treeshark about Emily being a thief.Sir, I am sorry but I did not say that. I know emily and enjoy just being with her. I have always found her to be a very nice person.
This is what happened. I was drinking at Tripaterra (sp) one night with a bunch of chicas. Emily was one of the chicas with me. She told me that she would see the next night there.
When I went back the next night, one of the chicas from the previous night told me that Emily has been arrested by the police that day. The chica told me that one of the gang at Hollywood beach had stolen a camera from a gringo tourist and had put the camera in Emily's bag. The tourist had gone to the police. The police had searched Hollywood Beach and found the stolen camera in Emily's bag and had arrested her.
The chica never said that Emily had stolen the camera. She said someone else had planted the camera in Emily's bag.
What really happened? Did Emily steal the camera or did someone else? I do not know. I do know that Emily went to jail because of what happened.
Hint--- lets say that you are out drinking with someone who works daily at Hollywood beach for many, many years. If you get that person really drunk, do you think that it is possible that the person might tell you about things that happen there?

No offense but you certainly didn't do your homework if you are not doing well mongering in Cartagena. Cartagena is an awesome mongering destination as far as chica quality goes. Its expensive as hell but there are plenty of good looking chicas. Just stop by LDV and you will see plenty of "merchandise". Timing is important at most of the clubs in Cartagena, go too early and the girls haven't arrived yet, go too late and they have either been picked up or gone home. If you go to LDV between midnight and 2 am You will be like a kid in a candy store and hopefully you have good negotiating skills because the "sticker" price on these girls are high.

Go to CTG to monger and did not go to the mecca LDV almost sounds blasphemous but I heard they are starting to ask 400k.

Go to CTG to monger and did not go to the mecca LDV almost sounds blasphemous but I heard they are starting to ask 400k.400K! Things seem to be getting a bit rediculous if what you have heard is true. When I was there about three and a half years ago most LDV chicas were happy to take 150K and street and beach girls were even cheaper. Based on my rough calculations, even if you take inflation over the last three years into consideration,the price should be around 165K.
I hope things are not getting this bad as I'm in the process of planning another trip. However I do plan to try and focus strongly on finding chicas in alternative areas, such as retail malls, parks etc. Nonetheless I would be interested to hear any current reports from any members who may be currently checking out LDV.

I have known this chica for over three years,I first met her in LDV and have been all over Colombia with her,name is Marcela.I lost my contact info for her along with my personal photos, I "borrowed" these from a report on here from last year. If anyone knows where I might find her or has contact info please let me know.She is a wicked cool chick by the way and is an excellent provider.
Brief report. I am in CTG for 2 nights and will visit 3 other cities in Colombia. Went to dinner last night in the old city. Decent steak at a decent price. Argentinean restaurant and they had a guy playing guitar and singing.
After dinner I had the taxi driver pick me up for a "tour". I had only been to CTG once before and wanted to see what else was out there. He toom me first to Liguero. He says they have been open about a year. Some decent looking women nothing all that great so after a beer we headed out.
he took me to rocio which I had visited before. Some nice looking women and it was dead. There was only 2 other guys in the whole place. After 2 beers we headed out and there was the crowd of Cruise ship workers coming in.
WE then went to Pley Club. Some very nice looking women but in all of these places most of the women just looked bored etc. We stayed for 2 beers, enough to see 2 of the least attractive chicas dance. Lots of silicon around as well and that is a turn off to me.
I didn't ask prices in any of these spots but asked the taxi driver. He said TLN would be about $150 in Pley Club and $100 in the other spots.
He told me that Monday night he took 2 Italians around and they each grabbed chicas at Rocio and then had 2 more at Pley Club. I guess he thought I would be similarly ready to rumble but I guess living in the DR has me spoiled. For me to drop 100-150 bucks the chica would have to really grab my attention more so in attitude and personality than solely in looks, and even then I would need to be in the right mood.
I had him drop me off at LDV. Lots of eye candy floating around but I just hung out and had a few beers Was fairly crowded 12-2 am and I left about then to head to my hotel which is within walking distance.
I may do some research for doing the rounds later tonight or just hang out in the old city eating dinner and watching some live music. There was a decent band playing Cuban music last night and I would probably been better off hanging out there.
I still have Medellin, Cali and Bogota coming up so no pressure to grab chicas etc.

First time visit to Cartegena next week and I now have learned that my hotel is guest unfriendly. (Decameron) One site I found stated that for 60usd a guest could come up to the room? There is a club inside the hotel would this apply to girls there as well? I would be truly grateful for any help anyone could give me and changing hotels now is not an option sad to say.
Thanks,

Last night I headed to Centro and had dinner at HRC. Hung out at the bar for a few beers and then decided to walk around. Found Babar and Queens for future reference and had a beer at the place up on the wall with the view of the sea.
Then I stopped in Vitrola for some Cuban music and more beer and finally headed to Queens. Not a bad place. Maybe 12 chicas were there. Some cute, some not so much. I drank a few more beers and then decided to call it an early night as I have an early flight to Medellin today.
This is my second trip to CTG and in both trips nothing drew my attention enough for me to pull the trigger. Maybe Medellin will be different etc.

PablowentworthPablo, they have a disco in the Decameron Hotel. I believe it is for quests only. When you check into the Decameron they put on a wrist band and have security at the front door to check people as they enter the hotel.I was with my girl friend and her children so i dont know if the allow visitors.

Either you're extremely picky or not as horny as most of us.

PablowentworthDecameron is all inclusive -- they're going to charge you for the food and booze that they think your guest will consume. That said, I've walked in and out and had a date walk in and out of a Decameron in Panama with impunity, without wearing the bracelet that shows you're a guest. So depending on set up you might be able to sneak a woman in.
You can take your date to a short time hotel. See World Traveler's list, then do a search on any that look of interest: http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=813193&postcount=362 Or for that matter, just ask your prostitute to take you to one.
Another option would be to rent a cheap apartment to keep in addition to your room at the Decameron. You can look around when you get to Cartagena. If you do this, check out the A/C before you rent. Or you could reserve something ahead of time. See another of WT's lists: http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=813193&postcount=362. On this list, I like Mery a lot and will only do business with her, although Juan Ventura has more properties and is thought of highly by many people on this site.
Pablo Wentworth, Sorry, World Travel has since updated his list, and has additional choices and comments for short time hotels: http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=110393
This is why I give Colombia a 4-5 for fun factor as a mongering destination you have to get the fun out of the chica-pros. Places like Brasil in DR the women love to have fun there and being 28 I love to have a good time when Im mongering and in Brasil or DR you dont have to pull it out of them like Colombia maybe it's a cultural thing or something. Lucky me I have expericence of dealing with Colombianans from my native country Panama so I know what to expect with with them my 1st trip to Colombia. I look pass them looking boring looking because I speak the language and joke around with them and making them laugh, and also because of their beauty, give them shots of Ron Medellin in the Club and once we get back to my apartment let them drink some Grey Goose or Henansey and put on the Reggeaton and than its on and believe they are not bored any more.
Some very nice looking women but in all of these places most of the women just looked bored etc.

I've seen the bored to death look from chicas in all countries. Brasil, DR, Colombia, Venezuela, etc, etc.
Like you said though, you can liven them up muchisimo if you got some charm about ya. I'm at 45 yrs and I love to have fun just as much as I did in my twenties, just now a bit more suave :)
Enjoy amigo!
Not that picky but probably not as horny as I live in the DR so it is different than living in the states and going on a monger vacation. I am here on business and if the mood strikes or there is chemistry will certainly partake but no pressure. I prefer it that way.
Wow, maybe I read your reports wrong but 2 days in Cartagena without finding a suitable chica to have some fun.

Enjoy amigo!As I have stated many times, conversation gets the girls, along with keeping your body looking good, and presenting yourself with proper attire and hygiene. It is that simple wherever you go in this big world, or should I say small world, as I am presently in Thailand, and met Giotto in Bangkok, (Giotto has and moderates his own thread on here for those that do not know, and has a hotel that somewhat caters to ISG members called Livingstones Lodge) After spending time in Bangkok, I then flew over to Phuket only to be sitting in a bar of one of thousands with ISG member Fifty/Fifty, only to have Giotto show up at the same bar we were in!

My first trip to Colombia. I’m flying into Cartagena on April 7th. Only 9 days. I can’t believe the amount of information that is provided on this site. Even if one weren’t interested in sex they would find more information in general about Colombia than any other place on the web.
My plan before I started reading posts on this site was to stay in Getsemani at one of the Hostels. Now however I am more than confused about what area to stay in and where to stay. If there is a place on the site that lists places to stay and places to eat that would be great.
It sounds like Medllin is the place to go. Should I bypass Cartagena and fly on the Medllin?

Ya never know.I will be there for a few days in June. I hope I don't run into Robert from the mansion there agian or I will just end up drinking all night.
After spending hours reading posts and trying to decide what would be best for me with only nine days to spend in Colombia I decided it best if I stay in Cartagena. Medellin is about $300. More dollars by plane or much cheaper by bus however up to fourteen hours each way. That $300. Is close to what I’m paying to get to Cartagena from Detroit. Medellin and the Mansion sound like great fun. I’ll put them down for a longer visit.
The experts seem to think I should stay in Cartagena’s Centro but I’m going to start out in Getsemani where it is much cheaper and move over to Centro if I’m not happy. I have a list of Getsemani hotels that other sites have said are ok. I have traveled across Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and the Yucatan. I’m pretty much an expert on the Yucatan coast area with nine visits if anyone needs advice. Thanks so much for the advice. I welcome your feedback.
Does anyone know if it is safe to travel from Cartegena to Barranquilla by taxi? Getting ready to visit CTG for eight days and wanted to spend two or three in Barranquilla.
Thoughts and recomendations are welcome.

Of course, always choose a taxista that is trust worthy.

Thoughts and recomendations are welcome.It's completely safe. But don't use taxi, better use mini bus regular service.
When i visited Cartagena, I traveled to Barranquilla using this service. Cheaper than taxi and very comfortable, if you are in Bocagrande, they will come to take you in your hotel or apartment, don't need to go to bus station. The vehicle was a Mercedes Benz van with a/a. I don't remember the company name, but if you ask in your hotel, they will tell you the phone number, i think that there are different companies. I don't remember price.
What if I took the plane to Medellin and the bus back to Cartagena? It sounds like I am really screwing up by not going to Medellin. I was hoping to do some water activities around Cartagena as well as the night life thing. I'll call the Mansion and see if they have a room.

And that is not the best route for Gringos.
The statement about CTG being a lot more expensive than MDE is correct.
I've been to Cartagena many times and if I had 9 days I would have spent the extra $300. on the plane fare to Medellin because if you compare the two cities (apples to apples) Cartagena will cost you that extra $300. in the first few days.Now that's good advice, coming from experiece I suspect.
Forget the bus ride back to Cartagena IMO.
You got 9 days to enjoy, why waste time.
First visit to Colombia, make the Mansion your home base, relax, explore, make contacts.
9 days will go quickly.
You can always go snorkeling on the family vacation to Cancun ... hahaha.
Estaba bromeando
I found out that Spirit Air has started service to Medellin. The change fee is around $100.00 for me to change from going to Cartagena. They have a big sale for March now. I'm going to wait a week or so and see what prices they come up with for April.
I'm in CTG currently and went to the BAQ festival last week. I had the same minor worries, but it's a safe journey. Lots of euros and gringos were in the vans going to and fro BAQ. There are a lot of checkpoints along the way by soldiers. The company I used was Marisol, and there is also invertours. Marisol cost me 19K each way, much cheaper than the 140K+ of a taxi. Very nice, well maintained A/C vans.

Yes you are a little gullible to think that a 18yr old grilla would go downtown with you to a cheap hotel to bang after just meeting you, for free even, BUT I myself have thrown out many hoes for non negotiation so congrats there..LOL.. well, when you put it that way! You're right.. and yet, I have been learning as I travel elsewhere in Colombia that simply being a gringo (even one twice their age) scores major points with girls here. To the point where it's not out of the question for an 18yr old girl to jump into bed just to get to call the gringo her boyfriend.
At Carnival in Barranquilla I had two 18-year olds give me their phone numbers, one of whom is still emailing me. I don't know whether it's that they think we're rich, and/or offer a way out of their lives to a better life in the States, or if they simply are more attracted to colored eyes and white skin.
Whatever the reason, I love it!

Good points but you do realize that > 50% of gringos do (Americans) DO NOT have colored eyes or white skin?My apologies if my generalization offended anyone.
First - by gringo, I meant any North American or European foreigner (which I realize is a stretch of the original meaning of the word, but it's how the Colombians seem to use the word).
Secondly - yes, I do realize that those first-world countries have a great number of people of color. Diversity is what makes the U.S. what it is.
It would be interesting to study whether those individuals are as attractive to Colombian girls (thus proving the $$ theory) or whether it's mainly the lighter skin / colored eyes look they find attractive.
Hey guys,
Thanks to you americans screwing-up the world economy I don't think I'm gonna make it to Cartagena this year so since I probably won't make it there for another 8 months, . I thought I'd share my photos of Stefany.
Stefany is a treat I meet her in 2007 she only seems to work the beach and is tight with Tony I last saw her in February 2008 when I took these photos. She works in barranquilla at a casa and comes to the beach at playa hollywood but goes home to barranquilla to work at 9PM, ask Tony about her.
When I got her to come out I spent the whole night with her and she was very accomodating. MSOG all night long, BBBJCIM she was suprisingly accomodating, so much in fact that the next day I was on the beach talking to an israeli guy (rainbow tatoo on chest) I forget his name but all you regulars would recognize him he's there from nov. March every year and he was ranting and raving about this paisa that he spent the night with was the best he ever had, . Stacy.
Hopefully she's still hanging around if not at least we have the pics to memorialize her time in the biz.
Remember, we're all in this together.

Hello Tom!,
Thanks for posting the pics of Stacy. She is a beautiful girl! As much as I am in Cartagena, I have never crossed paths with her, and I am on Playa Hollywood on a regular basis, since I am kind of a beach bum. Totally surprised I have not seen her. I will ask Tony if she is still around when I arrive on April 16th. Anyway, I am sorry to hear you are not going to be making it to Cartagena anytime soon, hopefully something will change so you can enjoy another vacation in Cartagena in the very near future.
MGD Dogs, I just read your post below and that is calling the kettle black. I am sure you heard that cliche before! You yourself have posted and argued political shit for how many years, then you make the statement like you did regarding the post by Tom Powers. Hypocritical indeed. I remember you and Surfer going back and forth on how many occasions. ;)

Back from 29 days in CTG. After I get some sleep, I will do a report/
CTG has changed.
For first time people or for someone who wants to see what CTG used to be like, go to Medellin.
IMHO, Medellin is a hell of a lot better then CTG.

She didn't get that bikini in Colombia though -- never seen anything that skimpy here, more's the pity.
General question:
Do nightclubs like Babar and Club del Mar have events Monday through Thursday?
Just came back from a 3 week trip to Colombia. Spent some days in CTG too and I have to say, that Cartagena is somehow f*** up now.
1. Some Chicas start asking for 500k (! ). Of course you can talk them down, but come on. Who spoiled these hookers? The Italians? The Americans?
2. You get constantly harassed by some pimps and/or drug dealers. The fact that they call you "my friend" and not "amigo" shows, what clients they are seeking!
3. The police checks you about every day, seeking for drugs. Some taxi driver told me, that you will get even into trouble if they find the drugs in the chica's bag!
I don't like CTG anymore. Of course, if you seek cheap drugs, or if you still think that 300-500k is a bargain, then go for it. Besides this: the old city is still beautiful.

Besides this: the old city is still beautiful.I just returned to my home in Medellín after 2 weeks in Cartagena. I paid 80 to 100K for pussy and never once was offered drugs nor did I have any contact with the police. In fact I wasn't even bothered very much by the vendedores, either.
Of course I know my way around CTG and speak fair Spanish.
With reply Doronto.
#1- Italians and americans both overpay. The CR crowd has now driven the prices up in Medellin and Cartagana. I just laugh at them when they quote anything more than 200K, start at 200K, and usually you can end up at 80-100K, with patience
#2- I agree 100% with you. This is the thing I hate the most about CTG. My friend My friend gets real irritating, plus at times not having the ability to relax on the beach, and getting harassed by these leeches drives me crazy. But you just have to learn to ignore them. (easier said than done). I imagine with the downturn in the economy, things will get worse, more desperate people.
#3 I have been to Cartagena seven times in the past and have only been searched twice, no problems, but again the cops are looking for a bribe and the chica needs to be smart enough not to carry
#4-Cartagena is still beautiful, but can be annoying.

Hollywood beach is like a sand blaster on windy days. The winds were so high that entering the water was prohibited for several days. I never went there, either.
I mostly hung out at my "office" in front of Playa Mar in Laguito. I spent a lot of time visiting with old friends.

Is Locogringo still around?Juan Ventura is one of a few people in Cartagena who rent apartments close to the action is El Laguito, many mongers have used him including myself, he is reliable and his apartments are good. You can see his apartments online and contact him, his website is:

Happy travels
Cartagena has its fair share of hassles, believe me.
But being pitched 500k is easily avoidable. Simply don't ask how much they want. It's an invitation that you may not know the usual prices, and they should try and gouge you.
Instead, tell them what you want to pay.
Establish a rapport with the girl first (drinks, dancing, chat). Then give her an offer about what you want to do: "I would like you to come with me to my apartment in Laguito. I have some drinks back at my place (rum, vodka.) or you can smoke a joint. I want you to stay about an hour and a half. I am offering 100k pesos and will also pay your taxi after you leave my place. I'm a calm and relaxed person and will make sure you're comfortable with me".
Something like the above (alter it to suit your circumstances). I sometimes pull them out of LDV a bit earlier, then offer to escort them to the door of Elektra after we're done. Make the offer attractive to the girl and she will more likely say yes.
Now if the guy happens to be an unattractive person, maybe that explains getting way higher quotes. Girls won't say no outright, they'll just quote a high rate. If you suspect this, find someone who understands colombianas and ask them if you're giving off bad vibes.
Just came back from a 3 week trip to Colombia. Spent some days in CTG too and I have to say, that Cartagena is somehow f*** up now.
1. Some Chicas start asking for 500k (! ). Of course you can talk them down, but come on. Who spoiled these hookers? The Italians? The Americans?
I don't like CTG anymore. Of course, if you seek cheap drugs, or if you still think that 300-500k is a bargain, then go for it. Besides this: the old city is still beautiful.

Just returned from a business trip that included stops in Bogota and Cartagena.
As background, I lived in Costa Rica for two years and I have been to Colombia several times. But I'd never been to Cartagena. Based on what I read, I was very excited about Cartagena, but unfortunately was dissappointed in the trip.
First for the positives. The weather was great, no nearly as hot and humid as I had been led to believe. The Hilton Hotel was excellent. The Old City in El Centro was one of the most beautiful, enchanting places I've visited.
Now for the negative. Where were all the beautiful girls I'd heard about? I did not go everywhere, but I'll report on the few places I went:
1. Playa Bocagrande: Bocagrande beach was awful! Way too many super aggressive beach vendors and no chicas! The only bright spot on the beach was finding the area populated by the famous "Tony" and his minions. Tony provides a valuable service, but is a hustler, so be careful with your money. I had Tony bring over 2 girls he promised would be 10s but they were only 8s, so I passed. Price quoted was $100 each.
2. Pley Club: This is a nude strip joint in a bad part of town. Overall, the best talent I found. Several 8s and a couple of 9's. Unfortunately, we decided to wait to see what to see La Dolce Vida, so decided to pass. Never went back. Big mistake. Don't remember the price, but I think is was $50 to the house and $100 for the girl.
3. La Dolce Vida: Way overrated. First, the place is absolutely empty until about 11:00 and really doesn't start rolling until midnight. Super loud music, so talking is impossible. Has the feel of a Jr. High Dance with men sitting at the tables and women sitting at the bar just looking at each other. No flow. Uncomfortable approaching women. The Del Rey in San Jose, is much much better. Talent level was O. K. , but not nearly as good as advertised. The girls ranged from 6 to 8. 5. In two nights there, really never saw a 9. Ended up taking an 8. 5 from Medellin back to the hotel. $100. Good service.
4. Massage Parlors: One afternoon decided to see the massage parlors. Big Mistake. Had a taxi take me to the best in town, after walking in and out of 4 parlors, headed back to the first one and bedded a weak 7. The cost was only $50, but barely doable.
5. El Centro Bars: Hit several of the El Centro bars I'd read about including Tu Candela and others. Again, talent was weak and not many girls.
5. Street Scene: Good. Lots of pretty girls, especially if you like dark skin. My best experience came on my last day. It was an introduction by a cabi to an 18 yr old university student. A true 9 spinner. She spent the entire day with me and never asked for money. Give her $100 anyway. Wish I would have met her on the first day!
Final analysis. For fun, I like the Del Rey / Key Largo in San Jose Costa Rica much more. For pure talent, I find Medellin to be much better. However, the old city is enchanting and for that reason I will return. But next time, I'll pass on the bars and the gringo hangouts and have the cabbies and doorman help with my social activities. There are beautiful girls in Cartagena, you just have to know how to find them!

Thank you UrbanWildlife for the clarification and valuable additional info. My last experience with Juan was very positive. For my upcoming trip I have organised one of Dave Jones's apartments so I will comment on my experience with his service when I write up my trip report.
I was put off Mery by the tone of her emails and the fact that she only offered one apartment to me and she had no photos and was asking a higher price than Juan and Dave. Additionally there seems to be a lot of negative feedback about her throughout this forum. I am sure that plenty of fellas have had positive experiences with her but I prefer to err on the cautious side.
Your floating orgy sounds great. Are you planing to be in Cartagena around July?

Urbanwildlife,
I'm not hooked up to PM you but will be in town with a fellow monger on the date you arrive. Interested in this boat party.
I just missed you in Cartagena. I like you went to all those places. The LdV varied night to night. It was hard to find anything better than 8. 5. My last two nights however I ran into about 10 girls than were 9 plus and a couple tens. All the girls leave the LDV about 1 am and go to Tu Candelas and Electra. Isis and Pleyboy are owned by an American in Texas. There is 25 girls that work in these bars, they live in the same house, and the managers "cambio" the girls from Pleybot to Isis. I went to both several times. Pleyboy is a dive. Isis is much nicer and has the better looking ones. The girls that work at Isis and Pleyboy have to be back at the House about dark each evening but freelance during the day for 100k pesos or so.
Wild urban,
That is a funny posting.

Just got back from my second trip to Cartagena. Overall had a very good time, but have to say that my first trip was better. A little bit about me: Have made several trips to Colombia and Venezuela, Spanish is just so-so, early 30’s, usually travel alone.
I think my first trip to Cartagena was better because I traveled in early February, when most of the college aged women were on vacation. I tend to prefer meeting non-pros at the bar or beach and usually do pretty well. If that doesn’t pan out, then I go for the pros. Not tryin to say I’m better than anyone who only deals with pros, I just prefer non-pros and the thrill of the chase. Also, the risks involved with pro’s weirds me out a little bit. Last trip the bars and beaches were full on normal girls, even during the week, so it made for a lot of opportunity. Also, because I traveled alone, I didn’t really have an agenda of what I was going to do, which I think is a good thing because in Cartagena it seems like good things happen to you when you are just walking around the old city or drinking a beer at one of the plazas.
This trip was a bit different, as I traveled with a couple of friends. I also lined up about 12 girls from the net. I ended up meeting about 6-7 of them, and only landed one of them in bed, which was a pathetic batting average in Colombia, IMHO. Most of the girls were definitely looking for something more long term. Maybe I should have been more clear about what I was looking for? If I was staying for longer or actually lived in Colombia then I can see this approach making sense, but logistically it was kind of a pain in the arss, and it was waaaay too time consuming. A couple of the college age girls did bring their friends over who were really cool and all of us had a good time at the beach, so it wasn’t a total loss. BTW- I purchased a cell phone at Olympica supermarket for $30, which proved to be invaluable. I later sold it on the street for $15. The bars on the weekend were definitely full, but there were VERY few women who were not there with guys, even in Tu Candela and Mr. Babillas. I mean, there were a few pros and a non-pros in Tu Candela, but that was about it. Ditto for the beach. Still had a good time at the bars and beach, but clearly not a good option this time. So my friends and I went to a few of the cat houses in el centro. Can’t remember the names except for Queens. They seemed to be fairly similar with a variety of women in the 6-7 range, and a couple of 8’s, but nothing much better than that. Our apartment was located across the street from LDV, so this is where we usually ended up. BTW- Can’t say enough good things about the apartment: great view, 2 balconys, 3 bedroom, clean and modern interior, full kitchen, AC worked perfect, great manager, and great price for 3 people. And at LDV, quality varied a lot. Seems like you just need to hang out there for awhile to find something that interests you, as the girls seem to come and go frequently. A lot of the girls asked for 250-300k and wouldn’t budge! I can understand this price if you look like Hugh Hefner or are just plain nasty, but I’m def not in those categories. Regardless, this is an insane price in Colombia! I was ableto get one girl as low as 70k ($30) for an hour. I got another two for 150k ($60) each for an hour. Two of the girls were kind of cold, but one was more into the sex than I was. LOL. The pro's were fun, but I think that Rio was better for pro's, as there was a wider variety of working women at more places (everywhere. LOL).
The city is still beautiful, especially at night. The people are still very friendly, and Cartagena is still a great value. My plane ticket was $450, apartment was $470 for a week, and food was relatively cheap. I would possibly return to Cartagena, but only during a busier time. I was told that I missed Semana Santa by a week! I think maybe Medellin or possibly Barranquilla and Santa Marta would be better spots for non-pro action. Any thoughts about these locations for non-pro action? I have hesitated to go to Medellin previously because I think I might get board during the day without a beach. Was still a great trip and I’m definitely envious of anyone who has figured out how to live in Colombia and has a decent income. Anyone wanting info on the apartment, a good dentist, or anything else, feel free to I'm me.

Urban Wildlife's (serial antagonist ON THE GO) boat trip may be the last chance to get rid of him.
I'd like to see the Wildlife, Surfer, and those ooh-so-sensitive black mongers all lumped in a boat with a bunch of ladyboys and pushed off Cartagena city beach. If the Colombian Navy which has a base nearby could be persuaded that the boat represented a threat to the honor of Colombia and be used for target practise, then all here at ISG would breathe a sigh of relief.
Nice report Elpapi! I agree with the first trip being the best. Ditto for me. It's been 4 years since my maiden voyage and 80-100k was the going rate in '05 in LDV. My first night in there I hooked up with a chica that rocked my world all night for 80k and I have yet to find a fuck machine like her since, she set the bar high! I was there last November and it was depressing with the loud ass music and attitude of the girls who rival the Del Rey chicas with their prices and hard core tactics. OK I won't ***** no mo and remininsce, but at one time it was unreal!
Well been here a couple weeks and time to move on to Santa Marta. The clubs in el centro have been so so and have found it much better to sit down in the plaza next to the clock tower and have a beer and wait.
Normally showing up around 11:30 or midnight
Plenty of pro's working the area and allot are the same girls I have seen in the clubs. Prices have varied between 70-80mil and another 10mil at las Vegas for a room.
Defiantly a better deal then the clubs and I can hear the next morning as I have passed on the shit ass loud music with all the bass then can get out of the system.

Hey guys,
Enough already.
This is supposed to be a Report Forum not for bashing each other. None of us regulars are really interested. Lets get down for what we really want.
Thx
Urbanwildlife you either have no clue what you are talking about or you are full of shit. Juan has the best apartments hands down including 3 modern penthouses. Mery lost the majority of her apartments because the owners realised she is a beady eyes bandit who was robbing them blind. If she would steal from the owners then do ya not think she might steal from the clients as well? Some of the Mery fan club are going to jump in here for sure but everyone in Laguito knows about her history and it is only the Mery Fanboys who will defend her there days.
I rented from Mery once and it was a dump. The bathroom had an old toilet and an electric showerhead. Juan on the other hand has nice penthouses and several other small modern apartments with plasma screens and Internet. Of course Juan's apartments are more expensive because they are FUCKING BETTER. Like I said you have no clue what you are talking about or you are a Mery Fanboy.The original poster had good things to say about Juan. I don't know why you're twisting his words.
The first apartment I rented from Mery was on the dumpy side, and it only cost around $40 to $50 per night. While I considered moving after I first saw the place, I'm damn glad I didn't. I came down with a nasty stomach bug, that left me weak and dehydrated. She took me to the hospital, stayed with me, and then nursed me back to health when I got out.
On later trips I told her I wanted a nicer place, and she delivered, with primo apartments at very reasonable prices considering the quality. I've stayed at two of her other apartments, one of them three times, and I liked them better than the Sofitel Santa Clara. I know she's had some problems with some of her owners, but you can count me as a member of the fan club.

I enjoyed reading your CTG report it was a great travel report. I am in my late 30s, also about to make my second trip to CTG and speak so-so Spanish, and judging from your chica pictures we have similar tastes in chicas.
I was curious to ask you a few things if you don't mind. What internet sites did you use to line your internet chicas? I have used Amigos.com and Hi5, I have found many more women on amigos.com however the quality of the women on Hi5 seems better. Did you find any particular site better than the others for acquiring good chicas?
Also I have an apartment that is not far from LDV that I am renting from Dave Jones. Can you tell me where your apartment was, I. E. Which buidling? And who did you rent it from? I'm very happy with the apartment I've chosen and the service from Dave Jones has been professional, but I'm curious if you had rented the same apartment.
Take care and thanks for the report, hope to read another one soon!

I liked reading your take.
Elpapi, I did the one in picture 103 in february, I met her in Electra, but she "works" at queens and Bambu too. I had a good time with her.

Caracol said it was his fourth visit to Cartagena, the most of any current or former US president.
Come on Mr. Prez post a report! You can't fool us. We know the real reason you go back to Colombia so often.

Silent Monger,
I used cybercupido and received a lot of responses. Don't really know about the other sites though. I would probably only try the net again if I was staying down there for at least 2-3 weeks. It was just a huge drain on my time. And re the apartment, I rented from a guy named Steve and the apartment builiding, Antares, was right across the street from LDV. And BTW- I went to Hotel El Dorado and received a pretty good massaje, hj, and haircut for 100k.
This is the lowdown. I have flown into Ecuador which is supposed to be a Monger's paradise. My flight to Ecuador had a layover in Bogota. In preparing for Ecuador, I RTFF'd. HOWEVER, my layover in Bogota showed me that Colombia is no longer the hijacking, bombing, terrorist killing nation that it used to be (at least not in the major cities.) I was therefore thinking of flying into Colombia for a weekend (4 days or so.)
For someone who does not have the time to RTFF, can someone point me either to some posts or some locations where I can get the information I need? I was thinking of going to either Cartagena or Medellin. Does Cartagena have more black women?

Urbanwildlife,
I don't know who you are and I could not give a rat's ass. But what I do care about is you keeping me out of your psychotic and paranoid dreams. I admit I made a MISTAKE landing in the Colombia thread, and wanting to provide some information for Miami Bob who was looking for a guide in Baranquela. And since I had read good reports about Mr. Solano (a person you obviously HAVE a fixation with, I just read some of your old reports and you have mentioned him at least 10 times) I gave him a cue as to where to find Mr. Solano's contact information. I am sorry if that upset you and triggered all you mental disorders, as if it very clear to me and the rest of the forum you are a VERY DISTURBED INDIVIDUAL and in need of URGENT psychiatric help. I am done here, Colombia is not my favorite thread, too many dumb asses here, and you seem to be the leader of them all. Have a nice life and good luck with your homosexuel orgy.I joined this group a while ago for one reason and one reason only. That is to find good chicas at a reasonable price. One day I got a PM from Urbanwildlife about CTG. It was a long and very informative piece of work. Since then while never meeting this man we have exchanged info on different citys in Colombia. I am sure I am not the only member who has been helped by him. So for whatever reason you do not like him, just ignor him. Why all these silly comments about a man you do not really know? Instead of that why not post trip reports that will benifit all?
It seems like Urban wildlife has a lot of enemies here. I actually thought he was okay when he was in Cartagena, but I guess maybe not, since he flamed me the first time I disagreed with him about CTG on this board.
Maybe Dashing Don has the best solution of them all. Put Tony and some of the massage girls on that boat also.

I've never met Urban in person, but as someone who has been to Cartagena quite a bit in the past year I can vouch that the info he shares on the forum is on the mark. Sure, people have different opinions and experiences in Colombia, but when you've been a frequent traveler there, you can tell when somebody is sharing legit info.
I can't say the same for the "lot of enemies" posts. Maybe they are all one in the same---a Colombian forum antagonist/UrbanWildlife stalker. All seems kinda juvenile to me, but I digress.
Personally, I like to read the trip reports and the posts that share information on places to go, where to stay, where to find chicas, prices, etc. Given that the Colombian Forum is on full moderation, can't say that I understand why Jackson allows posts from the likes of obvious copycat monikors that only want to antagonize another poster.
Oh well. By the way, thanks to Dw1987, El Papi and Papasito Rico for sharing info from their recent trips. Much appreciated, guys.

I was down in Cartagena the weekend before last and had a run in with the guy who manages LDV & Elektra. What a prick. Dude seems to think he's running his own little island. I really didn't care for him and I have to say. I've been coming to Cartagena for around 5 years now. The place has changed. There are a few girls in his clubs who are nothing but trouble. They go from LDV on to Elektra late night. I don't remember seeing so much attitude. Drugs. Girls demanding 4-5 times what they did a few years ago. And even the manager would rather stand behind these troublesome few than do the right thing by an American customer. He's Italian (I think). Average height, thin, 50ish with a big wart on his nose/face & wears glasses. Had a few choice words for us Americans. I was pretty disappointed in the whole experience.
I think the writing is on the wall and if it's not too late already I think that it's time to find a new hunting ground for the Colombian experience.
Where's the next "spot to be?". My spanish is pretty damn good, I can hold my own in the looks dept and I don't need a chaperone.
I do not look latino however so safety is always a concern.

Well guys just to let you know this girl is available in Cartagena and barranquilla! But is ok traveling Shes the hottest girl I have been whit, very horny waking me up to fuck again! That was super!
Info contact? PVT me!
fabone is correct about ldv and elecktra. there are a hard core group of girls that cause trouble and would not doubt that aldo may be getting a cut. you can find girls on the beach, on the street, all over the place that will take care of you for about 100k, some even 80k. plus the women at ldv, in my experiences always have the look of boredom, jaded and hardened look on their faces. or maybe it is because many of them are flying high as a kite on blow. the last trip to ldv, reminded me of the del rey in costa rica, mercenaries.
i do not understand why aldo would have such harsh words for americans? maybe he owns aig stock or gm? , but that is his fault, not ours. but then again the european governments, including that ugly toad from the uk, are stoking anti-americanism be blaming the us government, for their bad investments in a free market. guess what. sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. fabone your not the only one, another member was harrased by a couple of swedish broads in ctg last fall, and he would not apologize for being an american and walked away, me i would have decked the swedish broads first for their behavior. shit if i were aldo i would go out of my way to cater to the naive americans who pay way too much money, kind of like tony the tout does. tony will screw you, but at least he does not hate americans, we pay for his gold tooth.
i caught a little grief on my last trip in september in bocagrande one time by some black colombianos " obama obama", i turned around and told to shut the fuck up and leave me alone, then walked off. i in return got the angry stares that whitey gets in south central los angeles
what is funny is that i have never experienced any anti-americanism in cali at all, never. in fact the people were very curious about the usa and very helpful, but then again one does not wear shorts, flip-flops or in the case of the italians, speedos in cali. i bet one of our members whom i will refer to as " rural tamelife", probably knows to shut up in cali.

This might help me decide.Marihuana is an illegal drug in Colombia, production, distribution and possession of this drug are illegal. Of course like most prohibited psychoactive substances it is readily available particularly in Cartagena, but if you get caught with it by the police you're on your own.

But note:
". The impression is that throughout Latin America the tolerance doesn’t typically extend to tourists,

When in doubt, go without.

Of course like most prohibited psychoactive substances it is readily available particularly in Cartagena, but if you get caught with it by the police you're on your own.It is illegal, but possession of small amounts is not. However, I am certain that any non-Colombian would face some problems if your small amount was discovered by the police. If you give them a reason to shake you down, they will.
Dw1987, I did check out Bamboos.
I liked it ok. And there was a little 9. 5 that was something to see!
I can't tell from the pic but I don't think I see him in it.
He's no physical threat but his attitude when he's upset will eventually get him put on his a$at if he crosses the wrong gringo. That much I'm sure of.
Riker. Elaborate if you will.
MJG. Thanks for your input. I didn't want to go in to too much of an attack on LDV sice I thought that maybe mine might have been an isolated incident. But I think the girls are doing what they are doing because Aldo is allowing it. Maybe even rewarding it rather he realizes it or not.
I'll say this. Aldo is all about Aldo and if you stand up to him he'll have you put out the door. My only regret is that I didn't put him is his place. But it is Colombia and I'd rather be smart and healthy than cross some Barny Fife Italian with a point to proove Colombian style.
I don't know if its allowed but maybe we should post photos of girls to stay away from in Cartagena.
I have one to put on the list and a photo.
It would certainly spark contraversy but at least you would know to stay away.

Dw1987, that's a good idea as your safety and the safety of fellow members could be at stake. I'll explain why:
I just found out something interesting when calling Colombia today:
I mentioned my problem with Aldo the manager of LDV. What I didn't go into detail over is what began the situation.
There is a short stocky blonde who instigated the situation that lead to my discussion with Aldo. This girl is a heavy drug user and has a reputation amongst the girls there as a bully & problem starter. Her "artist name" is Michelle but I got her real name and cedula from the police and it's: Yamilet [Personal contact information deleted by Admin]. She crossed the line heavily one night when she and 3 others picked a fight and attacked a non working girl friend of mine that I've know for 3 years. She was translating for a friend of mine at the time. They followed her to the bathroom then jumped her. Didn't even know the girl! When our friend Aldo refused to address the situation, I did. I made it a point to let "Michelle" know that she had better watch herself and this led to my altercation with Aldo as he stepped in and sided with her. Then had me and my two friends kicked out of LDV. Here's the interesting part: My flight was early the next morning so I took off at 6:00 the next morning. She didn't know this and called a hoodlum friend of hers later that day. Told him that she was the inocent victim of a fight and that a crazed gringo tried to physically attack her and threatened her life. Said that he's staying in Laguito and she was successful in recruiting 4 "bad boy Colombianos" in cruising Laguito & Boca so she could point him out and they would jump him!
Dude! These people are idiots!
Can you imagine if that were you?
You're out minding your own business in the club one night when you cross the wrong person. A girl of all things. She starts some s#$! So you stand your ground and the next thing you know you're being hunted by a bunch of ignorant "tough guys" bent on teaching you a lesson? !
No wonder there having this limpieza thing on the putas & gangsters. Gheese! I still say that Aldo is the problem.
He is the one who is allowing this to happen!
I approached him before I said a word to her. He smarted off and refused to do anything about it.
He's befriended these lying, drug abusing, problem causing putas. And when they misbehave, he kicks their victims out and not them!
Guys, the booty's just as good outside of LDV & Elektra.
I for one and looking for a place that treats there customers as guests and appreciates their patronage.
Also, Dw1987, If I happen across her pic, I will post it as a caution to my mongering bros.

Things like this have happened to other gringos that I have known also fabone.
As much as I like Cartagena, I am always on guard. I ended up having to physcially throw a chica out of my apartment whom I caught trying to steal in 2005, she threatened to have me killed very loudly, then called the cops, who came up about a hour later. I was lucky for the next door neighbor was a colombian family that heard her and told the cops what they heard, she ended up being taken away in handcuffs. Anything is possible in Cartagena.
I am not surprised that that ugly dago would side with the criminals. Aldo must be from Naples.

What happened to the "reports".
Can anyone confirm the going rate?
$100k-$150k LDV.
Sport,
They will try to hit you for $ 200 USD at first. Hold your ground and you can get them for 150K COP. Its part of the game. But you can get a girl almost anywhere in CTG for the whole evening for 100-150K, if you speak spanish, and are patient.

Any experience about how much cost it LT or TLN ? maybe 300k if you speak spanish?

I have been in review of the CTG "list"
Actually I have been studying the darn thing like a student before midterms. Can anyone recomend the top 3 day time joints that are open and have a decent lineup? (5-7) would be good. Anyhting over that and its overload as they all look like sisters and I can't recall what chica 3 looked like when chica 17 comes walkin in.

ThanksI haven't done TLN with LDV girls in a long time because my experience was that they are the wrong girls for that, they are more into the "hit and run" if you know what I mean. I hate to generalize and YMMV but there are plenty of girls outside LDV that would do TLN for what the LDV girls charge for ST and probably show you a better time.
Fabone, After your first post I was thinking LDV is a bar where hookers hang out, it's not a brothel. Aldo wouldn't have a lot of control over his patrons, be they the girls or the mongers. If you want some quality control you should go to a place like Pleyboy.
Now I'm thinking wow, what a nightmare. You didn't do anything over the top, and the next day your life and limb are at risk.
One thing I've discovered, like your non pro girlfriend, it doesn't pay to translate for drunks in a bar. I was at Hunter's in Ciudad Acuna, Mexico and was trying to help out a fellow monger, who was chatting up a hooker but couldn't speak the language. I try to help out and the next thing you know he wants to kick my ass because he thinks I'm moving in on the love of his life. I guess you add drugs to the mix like with Michelle and you've really got a potentially volatile situation.

ThanksI payed 150K TLN every time. I was there for a week. One chica tried to trick me into 150 USD the next morning but of course I didn't pay it.

No wonder there having this limpieza thing on the putas & gangsters. Gheese! I still say that Aldo is the problem.Some guys would pull the same trick she pulled on you. You know, pay some people in low places to tell her she's banished from Cartagena. She has 12 hours to be at the bus terminal and get the hell out of town. That if she's ever seen at LDV again, she will disappear.
Thanks for the feedback.
I was looking around and came across a couple of pix of the two girls.
"Michelle" is "Claudia's" sister and is the little terror at LDV and Elektra.
I found a 4 year old pick of her here and even though she's much chunckier today. That's definitely her.
Now Aldo, the manager of Elektra & LDV likes her and sides with her in spite of the problems that seem to follow her.
The other pick is of two girls. The blonde on the right is Michelle's sister who us supposedly banging Aldo.
Rumor has it that if the owner knew that Aldo was messing with one of these girls it would be his job. The owner tells him that he's not to be envolved with these girls while working for him. "conflict of interest". Looks like the owner is not a stupid man. But Aldo is a complete idiot and I don't think I'll be putting myself in a position like this again by going back there.
Cacharo's right. There are too many other places that have things under control to bother with these guys again.

I went to Cartagena a couple weeks back and it was ok, not good, not great. I had a better time the last time I went as did the friends I was with. Maybe its the economy around the world, I don't know, but LDV was a letdown. I really liked that place in the past. The girls were not as hot as I remembered and they wanted more money this time for less service. It wasn't that I had such a great time the last time I went but CTG is very close and I met somebody that made my stay pretty damn good. Not the case this time. I did get a chance to go to a lot of bars that I didn't go to before in the old city and the night life can be quite good if you know where to go.
I did get a chance to go to Pleyboy. I thought this might be a ripoff place because all the cab drivers touted it before to me and I didn't go. It was actually a pretty nice place with decent rooms in the back and 12-15 chicas on the dance floor and at the bar. 200k for action, includes the room. The place does close early though, maybe midnight I think or 1am at the latest.
Tony didn't come up with anything good on the beach either. I was disappointed. He is a celebrity there though, lol. I know a lot here don't like him but he is an absolute character. Just don't let him rob you on your Aguila count and enjoy the entertainment.
I think I have seen enough of this town. I have been here enough to know there are other places in Colombia and the world that I want to see and some I have been to and want to see again. Cartagena is no Eden. It is a very touristy town which is fine if you like that. It has some beautiful sites to see and is close to the U.S. Pros at LDV and electra are hardcore though. Not my thing. I did wish I had tried the casas on the list but I didn't.
I would like to thank world69 for providing the list which was very helpful and to UrbanWildlife who gave me some great advice as well. I see he has been taking some shots on this thread. Don't know about all that but the guy provided me with some solid info about the city, women and everything else in Cartagena. In the end I think thats why we are all here. Peace.

i did michelle and her so-called sister claudia about 5 years ago. they were both skinnier and better looking back then. i have not been in ldv in a while but the last time i saw michelle she was hugely fat and claudia had a big ass. i guess all those free drinks from aldo have been adding to the waistline. michelle was a problem even 5 years ago. she is not mentally stable and claudia is an out of control alcoholic. if you get claudia drunk be prepared for a fight of some kind. she can get very violent and has actually been banned from some apartments. someone i know who lives in colombia always calls claudia the "drunken injun".
there are about 15 girls that now control ldv. they sell drugs in the bathroom to the other girls and the italians. when a new girl arrives they take her into the bathroom and threaten her if she does not agree to certain things. one of them is having a minimal price of around 200k pesos. if a new girl shows up and starts screwing gringos for 100k she gets beet up by the group. this has been going on now for 3 or 4 years which is why the quality keeps getting worse and worse. i personally know girls who have shown up from medellin and were scared shitless of the other girls. i met these girls on the beach and they said they are going back to medellin since they could not make any money in ldv anymore. so the end result is the new girls go home and tell their friends in medellin that you can't make money anymore in cartagena. this is a bad situation for everyone.
the old timers here will remember there was always a group from medellin consisting of that super hot chica monica, her almost twin sister who's name i forget, catalina, yuranis and about 10 other girls that would be there off and on. they would always be together in a little group sitting by the window. i am still in contact with several of them and they all say the same thing, being that they cannot make money anymore in cartagena. i told them it was because they all started asking for too much but they said had no choice they also said there was a lot of peer pressure to do drugs and that the entire environment went down hill. most of those girls are not actually from medellin but from the small towns that surround medellin. these towns tend to be very catholic and the girls are actually very shy small town girls. many of the people on here just do not seem to understand that the "putas" they use see in ldv were just very simple country bunkins. if you treated these types of girls with kindness they always showed it back. i got monica drunk one night and she did bareback, took it in the ass, and sucked my dick for like 3 hours. i was drunk as well so i told her to "take what she wanted" out of my wallet. she took 150k and asked me "is this ok? " i have not had that type of experience with too many girls from ldv in the last couple of years. it is really just not worth going there anymore.
there are two girls you will always see standing around the front door, patricia and karen. they both sell drugs in the bathroom so you will seldom seeing them go with a guy. sex with them is absolutely horrible. i did them both once just for a test drive. ironically they will ask for 300-400k but are often so desperate that they will go for 80k if they need their fix.
i am not sure why people on here say aldo is anti-american. he knows i am from the us and has always been very polite with me. i think some of you just probably have a bad attitude with him. that being said he does a very bad job at running ldv by allowing these girls to form their own little gang. there are about 10 of them that i would ban in one second if i owed the place. however, he is screwing them all for free drinks that the bar pays for so he has little motivation to fix the problems. the girls are actually required to go to electra when ldv closes. if they go to another bar then they are banned from lvd which is why at one time you did not see too many in giromato. (not sure if i spelled that right? ). at one time the owner of giromato got in some sort of argument with aldo so all ldv girls were banned. this actually was a good thing since there was even more drugs in giromato with all the israels drug tourists. some of the real bad girls would fuck a gringo in ldv, and then with the money the gringo paid her, go to giromato and buy cocaine for her israel friends and then fuck them all night for free. that is why you never see these girls in the day time since they do not get out of bed until 9:00pm. the israels would always stay in the penthouse in the building directly beside the hilton with the pool on the roof. there would be like 15-20 israels in the penthouse sleeping on the floor. they would get 4-5 girls that were drugged up on cocaine and take turns fucking them without condoms. keep that in mind the next time you see a sweetheart in ldv!
i had to laugh at the original posters comments about his "non pro" friend getting attacked by michelle. if the girl really was a "non pro" she would never set foot in ldv! never! do not fool yourself. many of the working girls on the beach are afraid to go into ldv or too embarrassed. but a "non pro"? no way. there is not a respectable woman in all of colombia who will go inside ldv. and besides, why would hookers attack a non working girl? i also would not worry for one second about michelle's pimps out to get you. i know cops in laguito who would blow these fuckers heads off in one second if the call was made. there is a member of this very forum who had two pimps killed last year. the pimps were trying to use a girl to extort him thinking "lets get the gringo". well they picked the wrong gringo because he went to santa marta and came back with a couple of paracos. the pimps got shot in the head not far from the airport and dumped in the ocean. several of the girls in ldv are aware of the murders, know who paid for it, and know it can happen again in one second. the police also know perfectly well who paid for the hit but the police do not give a flying fuck because the guy has a lot of money. in fact, when the bodies washed up the police were more concerned to keep it quiet than to start any sort of investigation. apparently once everyone started gossiping about it the guy just called up a couple buddies in the gaula and the case was closed.
someone really needs to open a freelance hooker bar in cartagena. it would make a lot of money and bring back the old country bunkins which is really what we want, right?

Really informative and eye opening. I know why I have never liked LDV and your report just sealed the deal. I have not taken a girl out of there since 2005. I walked in there twice in September of 2008, walked right out after 15 minutes, could not stand the women in there. A lot of them had distant stares and bad bad body language, I guess many of them were wired up. Someone needs to post the photos of these nasty putas.
I like the fact the some gringo had the balls to take them on. Whoever you are good for you, good move hiring the paracos I am not sure of what happened, but obviously you had to do what you had to do.
Aldo will get his, he will cross the wrong guy someday.
I hope everyone takes Comrade Boris warning seriously.

Regarding Urban Wildlife I can only second that:
You don't have to agree to all the things that he writes, but the man do knows alot of good things about the coast area of Colombia.
Also, Urban is a frequent world traveler, so he can make judgements from a "global perspective", and not just from one country, one location.
Does this means that I agree to all Urban's posts?
No, but I do respect any man that puts in both the trave ltime and money, and then writes about it on a forum for free, so that anyone who want's can benifit from the info.
I try to see it like a discussion about food:
One man love cajun food, and will never be convinced that the Italian cooking is the best in the world, or the French cooking either.
And that's who we are. Diffrent folks with different tastes and oppinions.
Then just use the info beeing posted on the forum as suits you best.
You are the reader. You are the one who decides what is important to you.
Best regards to all,

i think that is a dream of most hard core mongers. to open ones own joint. no drugs and keep the bad eggs out. i am ready to invest.
Am staying at the Hilton in Cartanega, I understand it is not GF friendly, but would will try company anyways. I researched the Cartanega site, was unable to find Escort recommendations, are there any in Cartanega.
There are about 15 girls that now control LDV. They sell drugs in the bathroom to the other girls and the Italians. When a new girl arrives they take her into the bathroom and threaten her if she does not agree to certain things. One of them is having a minimal price of around 200K pesos.

I don't believe that. I'm still pulling out LDV girls for 100k short time. 150k max. This goes for established LDV girls, and new girls too.
The quality of girls in LDV is about the same as it always was (going back 3 or 4 years to my first visit).

Still this is the best place on earth to look over the girls and take one out to fuck.I strongly beg to differ. One man's trash is another man's treasure though. I wanted to edit my last post but this computer is giving me fits. Pleyboy is open until 4am I found out. I said it closes early because when I was there Bill Clinton was in town and it closed early for some security ordinance I think. Wild Bill on his 4th trip to Cartagena, get em Bill. Peace.
LFE
This is my first major post on ISG and I just wanted to reflect on my recent one week stay in Cartagena.
To start, Cartagena is a beautiful city, rich with history and much diversity whether it is ethnic, cultural, and historical. The new Colombian tourism campaign states that the greatest risk of visiting Colombia is having to leave, and I completely agree. I stayed in Bocagrande in a rental from a popular property manager from this site. The rental was better than it appeared in the pictures, just right across the street from the beach, and walking distance to Laguito.
Safety is not an issue in Cartagena, definitely not in Laguito, Bocagrande, or el Centro. I feel far safer in these areas than I do in the place where I live in a large Midwestern city. Outside of these areas, you just have to try to fit in by what you wear, fluency in Spanish and general street sense. Dress in Cartagena is mixed; tourists from Italy, Germany, Israel and other Colombian cities typically wear shorts, t-shirts, bathing suits and other typical tourist wear. Native Costenas (from the coast) generally wear pants with long or short-sleeve shirts, although to fit in, its best if your garments appear a little battered.
All the women are gorgeous and well into their 60s, these women are still sexy. I arrived on a Saturday night and by Wednesday I had stopped turkeynecking because there are many examples of fine women everywhere in Colombia, even in the small towns and poorer neighborhoods. The women come in all colors and almost all shapes, a few I noticed are beginning to hit American proportions. Non-pros are hard to connect with on the street; I think my response rate was from 10-20%, whereas at home its probably about 5-10%. The best way to meet non-pros is to go into the stores or restaurants on Avenida San Martin (Carrera 2) in Bocagrande, the malls [either Plaza Caribe (upscale) or Plaza Castellana], or the shops in el Centro and act like you’re interested in shopping, ask the clerk her name, and just go from there.
I didn’t catch any semi-pro vibes. I’ve been to the Dominican Republic and nearly 95% of women there are semi-pro. No such feeling in Colombia. Pros: are available during the day, however are more numerous at night. I didn’t really catch any at the beach or in front of Hotel Dann as it has said it previous posts. I might not have been at the right beach and might not have been at Hotel Dann at the right time.
Street pros: Available on Avenida San Martin after dusk, prices are less (I picked up one for 60K COP) quality in terms of looks is slightly less, however attitude is much better than what you’ll find in other places. Also street action is available in Centro. Never took home from here, but watch out there are some awefully deceptive transvestites, and I’m pretty good at spotting them. I actually approached one and I was fortunate that he let me know that he was a man.
Clubs: Ground Zero-LDV: definitely 8s and 9s here, plus a rare 10 occasionally. Plus some 6s and 7s. More silicone than you can shake a stick at. Spanish skills are not a necessity here. The conversation is simple and goes something like this:
John: Como estas? Culebra: Bien, y tu? John: Bien, where are you from? Culebra: Medelling (pronounced-Mejean) John: What are you doing here? Culebra: Working. John: What kind of work do you do? Culebra: I can show you in your house in a little while. John: okay. For how much? Culebra: 300 pesos. John: okay. Vamos al taxi!
I was quoted once by a girl for 250K COP for an hour and I never saw anyone approach her or anyone go home with her. No one else quoted me more than 200K COP and I never paid more than 150K COP.
There are plenty of sharks here. Photos will be included of the sharks. Try to avoid the older women as they likely have more experience and are hardcore. Some will ask you for the money upfront. Never pay upfront in Colombia. Most would settle to see the money laid out for them and collecting it later.
Other Clubs:
No one seems to speak about the clubs in El Centro.
Bananos: Many of the street pros from Avenida San Martin and El Centro congregate here. Quality is about the same, however there is an occasional stunner. Advice: Don’t ever use a Colombian bathroom unless you pay upfront or its your own. This place reminds me of an illegal, underground spot that got shut down nearly a decade ago in my humble Midwestern city. Loud rap music, mainly African-American and young Caucasians from the USA Not for the refined at all. I’ve heard there is a place upstairs to take a girl-that is if you are adventurous enough. Not certain if there is a bar fine, probably not given the chicas are the same as on the street.
Queens’ Bar: Didn’t spend much time here. Walked in twice during the early hours. Not too many chicas; not much talent either. However, this is not the final say. My experience here is limited. Probably have to pay a bar fine.
Bambu Bar: A couple of guys approached me and some friends, saying their bar was for Colombians only-give me a break. Nice bar. Didn’t realize at first that all the chicks inside were working. A few stunners. Quality overall not dissimilar from LDV. Have to pay a bar fine, though.
Isis: Not too much different from Queen’s Bar or Bambu bar: decent looking chicas, about the same quality as LDV. Spent 5 minutes inside altogether.
Taxis: you pay 5K COP per zone. Laguito is a zone, Bocagrande is a zone, El Centro is a zone. Please speak Spanish. If you don’t or if you’re taking a pro back home late at night, YOU WILL BE HIT FOR MORE. Best to say, I’m going to El Centro from Laguito, for 10K COP and if they balk, wait 2 seconds and there will be another taxi.
The bus: even cheaper rides around town for about 1200 COP. Plus nonpros inside to strike up a conversation with.
Transportation to and from Cartagena to Barranquilla or Santa Marta, use MarSol. Tel: 6560302 or 6564270. They will drop you from door to door if its near their route in BQ or Santa Marta or along just along the route. Its cheaper than catching a cab to the bus terminal and a ticket from the bus terminal. It cost 19K COP from CTG to BQ.
Shark 1: Wanted the money upfront. Settled for money on the table. Good in bed. About 27 (like I said avoid them if they are over 24) A tight muscular ass. After the first orgasm, went for second which didn’t come in 20-30 minutes and said she had to get home because her friend had the keys blah, blah, blah (better translated as-there’s still enough time to get to Elektra for another trick)
Shark 2: Wanted the money upfront. Said no. Then she said I trust you. 21 year old from Barranquilla. Good in bed. After one orgasm, said she had to go. My last night there, didn’t want to deal with the b. S. So I broke her off and kicked her out.
Sorry, my photos are too large.

I have never been to Columbia before. I put this question in the Crime in Columbia section but should have put it here. Since I no longer have a computer and the library will not let me spend hours searching threads, can someone answer this question?
Are there discos in Cartagena that have pros or semi-pros? If so, can you name them so I can find them? And where are they located?
I would ask for the prices they charge for short time and also for all nite. However, I won't because my experience with the Brazil site is that posters generally understate how much it really costs. So I assume the same would happen with the Colombia site.
Any info would be appreciated. For example, info about bars too.
Thanks for any info!

I'd like to mention that your fare information is not correct. Laguito to Centro is 5K which is the current minimum fare. Centro to Bocagrande is also 5K. Between 8:00 pm and about 6:00 am there is a surcharge of 500 or so pesos. You can be charged 10% more for air conditioning. When you look at a rate sheet, you will find everything is priced from Centro. From Laguito to Manga, you add the Centro-Laguito and the Centro-Manga fares.
There is one larger correction. While the tourist zone (Centro and the Bocagrande Penninsula) is very safe as is Manga Island and Crespo, the vast majority of Cartagena is not. Unless you really know the city, stay in the tourist zone.

This is my report to Cartagena Colombia from 4/15/09-4/21/09. Thanks to all the great info on this board as well as some helpful advice from another fellow monger, I was able to plan my first venture into Colombia. This report is geared towards anyone going to CTG for the first time, because most of you experts that have been to CTG many times may find this report basic and boring.
Prelude
This is my third trip abroad for a vacation/mongering with my previous excursions to Panama. In Panama, I was able to get a feel for how far my Spanish would take me and after conversing (and playing) with some Colombianas, I decided it was time to venture into Colombia, with Cartagena being my first stop. After reading various posts, I thought this would be a good place to start and in getting a feel for safety and language issues in Colombia. Also, since I need some day time activities to fill the time (even if it is just sitting on the beach people watching), Cartagena fit the bill. I went Easter week and was afraid that it would be too crowded with Colombians who would be vacationing, but it turned out to be not so crowded and there was probably more of an influx of semi-pros into CTG from other parts of Colombia trying to make a few bucks during their "holiday" from the universities.
Travel Logistics
I flew Avianca from Miami and it took about 2. 5 hrs. Good flight and I was impressed with the non US airlines. I would recommend sitting on the left side of the place to get a good view of Cartagena when arriving. Avianca is a code share partner with Delta and you can earn Skymiles points when flying Avianca (but I only found this out after and now am in the process of trying to get the miles on my account). Exiting the airplane in CTG is open air, meaning you actually deboard the plane outside of the airport building itself and then walk into the building. I’m only pointing this out to be prepared for the heat and humidity as soon as you deboard the plane, although at this time of the year (April), I didn’t think it was too bad.
Immigration and customs was easy on arrival and departure, but be prepared for complete hand search of all luggage on departure, whether checked or carry on.
Upon exiting the airport on arrival, I actually went back in on the departure side to try to withdraw cash (Colombian Pesos) from the ATMs, but my ATM card wouldn’t work on any of them. More on this later in the currency exchange section. So, I caught a taxi to the El Laugito after negotiating 12 mil pesos (12000) from the 15 mil asked by the driver. En route, I remembered that there were Citibank ATMs in CTG (from reading the various posts) and so I asked the taxi driver to take me to one. Apparently there are only 2 Citibank ATMs in CTG, and he took me to the in El Centro Citibank branch (Old City area) where my ATM card worked and I was able to get pesos. I voluntarily gave the driver 15 mil.
Taxis from El Laugito/Bocagrande to Old City ran about 5-7 mil each way. In fact, going from El Laugito to anywhere in Bocagrande ran about 5 mil. When getting a taxi, instead of asking "how much", I think the better strategy is to know what the going rate would be and then to just offer it. If the driver says otherwise, you can just wait for the next taxi, but keep in mind that a difference of 1 mil peso would be less than 50 cents (US). I just don’t want to have driver think that he is getting one over one me.
Currency Exchange
The Colombian currency is the peso and in relation to the dollar, $1 was about 2300 pesos at the time I was going. This was much higher than last year about this time, but not the highest in the past 52 weeks (it got up to 2600). 1 mil is 1000 pesos. The question I had was whether to exchange currency before I got to CTG, once I got to CTG at the exchange places, or draw from the ATM. On reading the posts and advice from experienced mongers, I started a Capital One account because there were no fees associated with international ATM withdrawals and the exchange was the going exchange rate at the time. However, I found that the Capital One ATM would only work at the Citibank ATMs and there were only two of these (that I am aware of), neither near El Laugito. There was a Citibank ATM in El Centro at a Citibank branch. This one would allow you to withdraw at least 1 million pesos (maybe more). The other one near El Laugito was next to Block Buster video at Carerra Segundo and Calle Once (or Diez). This one would allow you to withdraw up to 700 mil pesos at a time. To get to both of these using a taxi and to get back to El Laugito it cost 10 mil pesos (about $4 USD), so what I saved in ATM fees, I paid in taxis to get to the only ATMS where my Capital One card would work. I tried using it in other ATMs, but no luck. Oh well.
Lodging
I stayed at the Playa Mar Apartments booked through Juan Ventura (http://www.venpro.net/fotosapartamentos/playa802. Htm). It ran me $70/ nite, but I ran into someone else staying in Apt 602 and booked through someone else and got it for $30/nite. I saw his apartment and it looked just as good as mine. However, mine did have wireless internet in the room, which I really needed to keep up with some business in stateside. I’m not sure that paying the $40 extra per nite just for wireless internet was worth it. However, I will say that Juan Ventura is a class act and speaks good English. He checked on me via phone within 30 minutes of my arrival and then came by later in the evening. The apt did have a safe in it, air conditioning in living and bed rooms and a floor standing fan, but the bed wasn’t very comfortable. It also had a washer (air drying was necessary), refrigerator, iron and ironing board, television in living room and in the bedroom, CD player and DVD player in living room, and a clock radio in the bedroom. Two balconies look over the ocean and there is a nice breeze at night without the need for AC. A private beach is behind the building and can make for a nice swim before heading out mongering in the evenings. The building is near the Hilton, and is a little further down El Laguito, but still about a 15-20 minute walk to LDV and Hollywood Beach (see below). Also, this is the building that has the circular cement "bench" in front that others have posted about where chicas pass by. It is true that chicas pass by in the evenings, but it was mostly the same chicas every evening—although some were cute. There were no fees to take the girls into the apartments, but they needed to check IDs before they would allow a girl to go up.
My Rating Scale
In a nutshell, I am attracted to the "girl next door" look with a nice ass and stomach and all natural (no silicone). So, my rating scale is based on this.
10’s: there are no "10s" on my rating scale (when I’m sober). 9’s: These are the "hot" chicks like you see on Victoria Secret’s and on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. You easily notice them out from across the room. 8’s: These are the "pretty" girls (minimal makeup) with nice bodies (all natural) including nice ass and breasts. You notice them when they walk by. 7’s: These are "attractive" girls (maybe a little bit more makeup) with a nice ass, but maybe lacking in breasts. I am an ass man, so a girl could be attractive, have a great ass, but very small breasts and still be a "7" on my scale. I am very generous with my "7" rating. These are the girls that are attractive when you start talking to them. You notice they may either have nice eyes, a nice smile, full lips, pretty hair etc. 6’s: These are the "not ugly" girls with a nice ass with or without nice breasts. These girls are doable (without alcohol) and I would have nothing to be ashamed about if anybody found out. 5’s or lower: I would never do sober, I would hope that no one ever found out and most likely I would just want a BJ.
Chica Venues
LDV is the only disco in El Laugito (for mongering); the rest of the ones listed are in El Centro in the "Old City".
La Dolce Vita (LDV). The first night (Wednesday night) had an outstanding selection of girls all starting out asking for 200 mil for 1 hour. The average on this night was an "8" with several "9s" in the crowd. Talking to a few girls, there were many university students in CTG to try to make some money to pay for school. Subsequent nights the quality had diminished with more "7s", fewer "8s", and barely any "9s". LDV a disco full of free lancers and all girls in the place are available. No cover.
Elektra- This is late night disco that the LDV girls go to (but not all) if they haven’t hooked up at LDV or even if they have, to try to make a little bit more money. No cover, all the doormen did try to charge a couple of gringos that were in front of me, an entrance fee. Good quality, but again, mostly freelancers from LDV. Closed at 4 on Wednesday nite and some people headed to Utopia (see below), but the rest of the nights, was open to 5 or 6am.
Isis- I can’t tell if this a "strip" bar or just a bar. No cover, but there was at least 1 girl that got on stage and stripped. All the girls inside are working girls, asking 250 mil, but I think they have to pay a fine to leave with a customer. The quality was more in the "7" range on the nights I went.
Queens- Same as above, but with lower quality on the 2 nites that I went. No cover. I didn’t inquire about prices.
Bambu- Same as above, a few hotties in the "8" range. No cover. I liked this place. Beers were 10 mil and drinks for the girls were 15 mil (of which the girl gets to keep 5 mil as told to me by one of the girls). Girls ask 250-300 mil, part of which covers a fine to leave the bar/club. I went a few times. The manager is Jugo who seems to be a decent guy and he speaks English if you run into any issues at the club.
Utopia- This must be a new club. I only went once on a Wednesday nite when Elektra closed early. Mostly free lancers, but I don’t think all are working girls.
Tu Candela- This was bar/club where to locals go. Mostly couples and "regular" girls on the night I went. 10 mil entrance fee which includes a drink. Didn’t see many single girls interested in hooking up with a "gringo", although again I was there only 1 night and only for a short time.
Tony Number 1
Of course reading so much about "Tony Number 1", I had to meet him. It didn’t take very long as I was walking along "Hollywood Beach" (BocaGrande Beach near Hotel Dann) for him to "introduce" himself. His area of the beach is next to Hotel Dann’s private beach area to the right when facing the water. Just walk back and forth a few times and he will find you. He speaks pretty good English, which I understand that he picked up just working the beach for so many years. He asked me if I heard about him on the "Internet", and I said "no" just to play dumb. He almost look disappointed. I think he feels like a celebrity being on the "Internet". Personally, I wasn’t bothered too much by him and he did hook me up with some of my better experiences while in CTG. He is a hustler and will want his money and will play dumb if you call him out on things. Overall, he’s pretty harmless. One chair was 3 mil pesos and the shade was 5 mil pesos for the whole day. Beers were 3 mil and, yes, he wanted you to buy him a beer every now and then. I don’t know how these amounts compare to other vendors on the beach or if I tried to negotiate a better amount. However, I do think that girls wanting to make some money seek him out because they know that guys will use his services. He can hook you up with girls that are on the beach, or he can call girls for you. However, be careful with the latter because you will end up paying for another chair for the girls to sit with you and then to feed or buy drinks for the girl. He gets 20 mil kick back from the girls (told to me by 3 different girls) if you take them with you. The girls will ask anywhere from 100-200 mil pesos, again plan on negotiating. Also, as warned by others, don’t give him your cell phone or let him know where you are staying, both mistakes which I made.
Other Activities
I ventured out to Playa Boquilla, about a 30 minute taxi ride from El Laugito for 12 mil (if you can negotiate). I actually really liked this beach in comparison to Boca Grande beach. Much less crowded, hardly any vendors, great food, covered "shacks" with hammocks on the beach. There were some cuties on the beach, but not sure of availability. Definitely would recommend, but some Spanish is necessary because hardly anyone speaks English. You may get some "runners" on BocaGrande inviting you to great seafood at Playa Boquilla. Just know that if go with a runner, the prices will be padded to cover the runners "commission" for taking you there. A seafood feast was offered at 120 mil and negotiated down to 70 mil. I know that it was still too much and that I was covering the runners fee to bring me there, but I didn’t pay anything more to the runner. I will also tell you that this was the best meal I had while in CTG, authentic Colombian food with lobster, shrimp, cooked oysters, fried fish and squid, served with rice. By the way, if you come across a "Manuel" who sells fresh cooked crab with lemon juice (very tasty) on Boca Grande, he is a good guy and he is the runner that took me to Playa Boquilla. (The price he quotes you for the crab is 5-7 mil and is "per crab", not the whole container).
I liked the Playa Boquilla area so much that I would consider staying there on my next visit because I was told (and saw from the outside), that nice apartments could be had for about $15/nite (USD). With that low amount, even paying for taxi to and from Old City or El Laugito/Boca Grande, I would still come out better and have more for other activities.
Miscellaneous
I read about police shakedown near the LDV area, but I didn’t experience it nor did I see anything going on. I felt completely safe in El Laugito, the Old City and in some way out of the way places I probably shouldn’t have been in where I went with a few other gringos. The food in El Laugito was ok, the food was better in the Old City and even better in Playa Boquilla. Although being fluent in Spanish isn’t necessary, as indicated by other posters, having some Spanish ability would be helpful in negotiating with the chicas and making the entire experience more enjoyable.
Learning the Hard Way
Being relatively new to the mongering lifestyle, I am quickly realizing that what I most enjoy is feeling of being young and alive again, like I was in my 20’s (I’m 43 now). And although sex with beautiful women is the climax of these trips for me, I enjoy the "chase". This means flirting, buying, drinks, taking out to dinner, before having sex. I also prefer the discos/bars instead of massage parlors. However, I was burnt a couple of times on this trip (and my previous trips to Panama) that I am now only going to do the former (buy drinks/dinner) after I do the latter (have sex) and see if I click with a girl. On this trip I wined and dined a girl that I met through Tony (before I had sex with her) after we agreed on 200 mil for 3 hrs. Little did I know that I was on the clock while I was feeding her ass and buying her drinks and hadn’t even had sex yet. Other girls I was attracted to at the clubs who caught my attention, I would buy drinks for even before discussing price or services, hoping that they would be more open to negotiating and at least receptive to giving BBJs. Nope. More often than not, the prices never changed much, nor did being agreeable to BBJs if they were reluctant to do it in the first place. I know that this is probably a newbie mistake and that most experienced mongers would never do that, but this was learning point for me and I just wanted to pass it on to others who may enjoy the "chase". Make sure you agree on ALL details before taking a girl and only wine/dine after you have sex with her and only if she gave GFE like services.
Summary
In comparison to Panama, the girls in Cartagena were at least 1 rating scale better overall (and I have a pretty tough rating scale). LDV had the best selection on this particular trip, but since CTG is a transient tourist town with chicas coming from other parts of Colombia to try to make some money in short time, the quality may vary at any given time and any given venue. It was difficult to negotiate lower prices (and word would spread of what you offer or settle on), but negotiating longer time or services (BBJs) seemed to work better. Don’t be surprised if a chica finishes a date with someone else and then comes back to the venue or a different venue to try to get another date. (I saw this personally with one of the hottest girls at LDV). If you see a girl you like, don’t think that she will be available later into the night or on another night. I’m still kicking myself for passing on some very hot chicks my first night at LDV, never to see them again. Everything needs to be detailed out as to what you want (time, services, etc.) before you take a chica. The girls have game too. They know how to play the sweet girl next door role, but they are strictly there for the money. I would recommend CTG as a destination for a "vacation" with various venues to visit at night for very beautiful Colombianas, and is a good way to get your feet wet for the first time in Colombia, especially with limited Spanish. I would go back in a heart beat, timing my trip with "holidays" for university students.
Next on the itinerary: Medellin!

This is my report to Cartagena Colombia from 4/15/09-4/21/09.
Upon exiting the airport on arrival, I actually went back in on the departure side to try to withdraw cash (Colombian Pesos) from the ATMs, but my ATM card wouldn’t work on any of them. ... I asked the taxi driver to take me to one. Apparently there are only 2 Citibank ATMs in CTG, and he took me to the in El Centro Citibank branch (Old City area) where my ATM card worked and I was able to get pesos...

Great report on a first trip to Colombia (I have only had 2 trips, so can still think like a newbie).
I take several cards with me. Some cards only work in certain ATMs. And most ATMs WILL ONLY GIVE YOUR 300k or 400K pesos!! Citibank usually will give you a million pesos. So to get the same pesos from another machine costs 3 times the transaction fees. And the Citibank ATM accepted more of my cards.
Zing
Yes, the Capital One card works at very few places. It also works at Bancafe and AV Villas. It is a member of the Plus network.
There are some other cards that are more universally accepted and charge no fees. National InterBank is one.

As you get more comfortable, gain more experience and your spanish gets better, you'll find it easier to navigate away from the sharks and find the sweeties that you trully bond with.
I personally never negotiate the particulars beforehand with a chica.
Just kills the romance of it all for me or at least the illusion of it all.
I've gotten very good at feeling "the love" with a chica beforehand, in the getting to know ya phase.
If I don't feel the love or any bonding / chemestry, I move on quickly.
Thanks again for the report!
Good report. Good insight. The $ 70 rate by Juan ventura is about right, myabe you could have haggled for $ 60 or $ 65, who knows. I stayed in PM # 503, which is ok for my needs @ $ 50 a night in september for 11 days. If you are a repeat customer with these guys, they will tend to discount the rate a little bit.
But a very well written and informative summary.
Bijou,
Nice report! Very straight forward and informative. Will be making my 2nd trip to Colombia and 1st to Cartagena in 6 weeks. Enjoyed the read.
Thanks again.

Accurate report Bijou. I was there last week and can verify that Playa 602 is 35 a nite but has no hot water (common). I had something happen last week that never happenend before. One night walking back from LDV I was searched by the cops in front of the mini police station. They were stopping cars when they spyed me walking the sidewalk and accosted me. After a pat down I was told to turn my pockets out. They were rude and no doubt looking to make a few pesos from finding a small amount of dope but alas I was stone sober and drugs are a thing of my past "Go. GO Gringo" were their parting shots as they released me. Can't blame 'them from trying I guess but these punks were disrespectful. But it is Colombia and after 5 years of going there I let shit go and laugh it off. You have too!
Bijou,
Thanks for the excellent report; its more or less what I experienced in Nov08. And as you mentionned, my ratings in LDV are 1-2 points less than yours. But to my knowledge, in Nov there are no universitary holidays.

i was shaken down while in a taxi at a traffic control point about 6 years ago. but they were nice about it. one of the 2 girls in the taxi with me didn't have her cedula with her. they made some noise about **** girls (both were 19 by the way) and said something about going down to the station. gee, even if she had been 17, it was not illegal for her to be riding in a cab with me. then they said something about 10k. guess they needed to buy some guaro or cigarettes. i gave them the 10k. they thanked me and smiled.
that shit has never happened to me in medellín.
When getting a taxi, instead of asking "how much", I think the better strategy is to know what the going rate would be and then to just offer it. If the driver says otherwise, you can just wait for the next taxi, but keep in mind that a difference of 1 mil peso would be less than 50 cents (US). I just don’t want to have driver think that he is getting one over one me.This is excellent advice. I recommend everyone do this when negotiating with the girls, too.
In general you paid the correct price for taxis etc, and maybe even a bit less than the official rate. But I got the feeling you probably paid over the odds for the girls' company.
La Boquilla beach is not for all tastes. Rich Colombians probably wouldn't even set foot there, since it's right up against the slums. Middle class Colombians might go there to drink a beer, but wouldn't ever swim in the polluted water.

I was checked and they turned my pockets inside out and examined the pocket lint in detail. I was laughing so hard, they let me go. I hope them setting up by the mini police station doesn't become a common occurance.

Dw1987, that's a good idea as your safety and the safety of fellow members could be at stake. I'll explain why:
I just found out something interesting when calling Colombia today:
I mentioned my problem with Aldo the manager of LDV. What I didn't go into detail over is what began the situation.
There is a short stocky blonde who instigated the situation that lead to my discussion with Aldo. This girl is a heavy drug user and has a reputation amongst the girls there as a bully & problem starter. Her "artist name" is Michelle but I got her real name and cedula from the police and it's: Yamilet [Personal contact information deleted by Admin]. She crossed the line heavily one night when she and 3 others picked a fight and attacked a non working girl friend of mine that I've know for 3 years. She was translating for a friend of mine at the time. They followed her to the bathroom then jumped her. Didn't even know the girl! When our friend Aldo refused to address the situation, I did. I made it a point to let "Michelle" know that she had better watch herself and this led to my altercation with Aldo as he stepped in and sided with her. Then had me and my two friends kicked out of LDV. Here's the interesting part: My flight was early the next morning so I took off at 6:00 the next morning. She didn't know this and called a hoodlum friend of hers later that day. Told him that she was the inocent victim of a fight and that a crazed gringo tried to physically attack her and threatened her life. Said that he's staying in Laguito and she was successful in recruiting 4 "bad boy Colombianos" in cruising Laguito & Boca so she could point him out and they would jump him!
Dude! These people are idiots!
Can you imagine if that were you?
You're out minding your own business in the club one night when you cross the wrong person. A girl of all things. She starts some s#$! So you stand your ground and the next thing you know you're being hunted by a bunch of ignorant "tough guys" bent on teaching you a lesson? !
No wonder there having this limpieza thing on the putas & gangsters. Gheese! I still say that Aldo is the problem.
He is the one who is allowing this to happen!
I approached him before I said a word to her. He smarted off and refused to do anything about it.
He's befriended these lying, drug abusing, problem causing putas. And when they misbehave, he kicks their victims out and not them!
Guys, the booty's just as good outside of LDV & Elektra.
I for one and looking for a place that treats there customers as guests and appreciates their patronage.
Also, Dw1987, If I happen across her pic, I will post it as a caution to my mongering bros.

Just read this report from Fabone. Reminded me of a girl I met in Cartagena originally in 2006, but met her again in 2009. According to my wingman she has been on the scene for quite awhile before 2006.
Anyway chatting with her at LDV I noticed she was a bit ragged looking (black eye and cut lip) and she told me that she had been beaten up by a couple of girls there.
When I asked her why she had been assaulted, she said she did not have any idea why. , HMM I thought, but I just let it go, and did not push the issue. But after reading the Fabone story I Understand why. (at least I think I understand) She probably was going for a cheaper than the "SET RATE"
I Use to be a regular in LDV when it was in the old city there (pre-2001), but this MDE/LDV mafia thing explains the steady decline in vibe and in quality.
Now I rarely go back to LDV, the place is just so sad. A shell of its former self. Like one member here wrote" its like a junior high school dance" Girls here boys there, and little mixing.
I realize part of this (perceived decline) is just human nature. I. E. Things always seem better in the past as we age. (pining nostalgic) But CTG and LDV has really gone down hill as a monger destination. However, if you have never been to CTG/LDV you would likely enjoy yourself, as you have no past comparative basis.
Anyway you can still find some cuties there too. This is the girl who was assualted, she was a nice girl but very business like, she spoke some english too. Problem was I got few good pictures of her. If anyone has any good PICTS of her (or 411) PM me and we can share, or if no PM here is my e-mail [Email address deleted by Admin]

I have been reading your reports and I believe most of what you guys sat is true.As far as the manager banging all the girls and requiring they go to Electra I doubt it .I was there two months ago every day for a week.I witnesses girls getting free drinks from the manager and some girls getting no drinks for free,I also witnessed new girls walking up the steps and asking where the LDV was,the other girls pointed they walked to the door and then asked the doorman if there was a cover.The girls there seem to hang out there in groups probably to protect themselves from the other girls.The manager probably does bang some of the girls there and in return makes them go to the Electra but not all.Do I think mafia is involved?No shit Sherlock I have been going to Colombia for 15 years now there isn't anything I haven't seen including people being shot; no shit!I like Colombia the most because just about anything has its price.Also about those road blocks-in the nineties there would be a road block about every mile on a Colombian road from an airport to a major city and yes you had to pay them off from time to time especially in Medellin.I have only experienced any roadblocks recently in Cali but as far as police and such in the late 90's I was searched by police and had my Passport checked 20 times a day .Those are stories I will only tell you if I meet you someday I don't want to scare anyone just know where you are!

I was in Cartagena for 15 days in February and was stopped at least 5 times by road blocks. All but one time I was in a Taxi either leaving LDV or on my way back from Centro with a girl in the cab. One time I was searched on my way walking home from LDV.
Everytime, they searched me quite thoroughly, examined everything in my pockets and asked for ID. I was never asked for any money and the police were for the most part professional but after a while this definitely started to wear on me.
Taxi driver told me that a bunch of Israelis were found in Centro living with numerous girls as young as 11 years old and this reaction was in response to the negative press the authorities got from the national media claiming tourists are allowed to get away with everything.
I was also in Cartagena March of 08 and was never stopped.

Also God forbid maybe good news from Western Union. LOLYes Vicks Picks you nailed it. The smart girls know how to get the repeat business with the illusion of the GFE. SO TRUE!
RE: ALDO (LDV Jefe) I have known this guy for almost 9 years, and although I would not call him a friend, he has always been pleasant with me (and I am an american guy) Although I could see how he could come off as a jerk because he is a bit aloof, and not very talkative. Except with the guapas in LDV of course.
RE: The girl in the photo. The pict was taken off her profile page from Colombian dating site. Although she was not a girl who gave good GFE. She had such an incredible body! (I like flacas) that I might just go back in July to see just her only. (a 24 yo Alyssa Milano) MMMMM! Would love to see more.
Someone post it! Por Favor. July is a long way off!
Can I ask how you find Tony? At what beach in Cartagena? Also exactly where is the hooker tent, near a fruit stand? Is the area near the Hilton?
Can I ask how you find Tony? At what beach in Cartagena? Also exactly where is the hooker tent, near a fruit stand? Is the area near the Hilton? Tony is set up on a part of the beach fronting the Hotel Dann. That is on the opposite end of el Laguito from the Hilton. There is no hooker tent.
Good morning Gentlemen,
Another question or two from the peanut gallery. I always dress as best I can to blend in with the locals when I travel. Whether I succeed at it or not is debatable. In June the weather in Caratgena is expected to be in the 90's with humidity. I don't mind dressing in jeans and button down shirts in the evening, but how does one dress comfortably, and, blend in during the heat of the day?
Standard fare here in Florida is khaki or denim shorts, tennis shoes, and a polo shirt or t-shirt. I will of course be doing alot of walking around/sight seeing and want to be comfortabe but protected from the blazing sun.
Also, I will assume that some version of the "little blue pill" is available at the farmacia. If so, what name does it go by and how much could I expect to spend on 4-6 pills.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Ask for Viagra generica. Be sure to ask for buen calidad and buy at a better place. Some generics in Colombia are not what they claim to be. You can expect to pay 1.5-3K per pill.

Thanks to Tom 33, I was able to find Tony. Had a beer, he offered his services, paraded a few ladies, offered Andrea for the negoyiated price of 170,000 plus 25000 for the room. The beer was 8,000.
Everything was all inclusive, she looked better in person that the photo.

I am going to CTG solo for a month. My spanish is fluent. I know how to blend in. I've been twice before for a week each time and know well laguito, bocagrande and a little of the area near centro comercial castellana. I still need to hangout in more of the old city and learn my way around el centro better. I plan to hang out take salsa lessons at Nueva lengua during the week and take weekend trips to Barranquilla. So far I've been quoted $1300 USD for a one bedroom and $1600 USD for a two bedroom. What can you tell me?
Cappadona, craigslist sometimes has good deals.
Look in sublets and temporary section for monthly rentals: http://colombia.en.craigslist.org/sub/

Lodging
I stayed at the Playa Mar Apartments booked through Juan Ventura (http://www.venpro.net/fotosapartamentos/playa802. Htm). It ran me $70/ nite, but I ran into someone else staying in Apt 602 and booked through someone else and got it for $30/nite. I saw his apartment and it looked just as good as mine. However, mine did have wireless internet in the room, which I really needed to keep up with some business in stateside. I’m not sure that paying the $40 extra per nite just for wireless internet was worth it. I just arrived in Cartagena for the first time. I'm staying in Apt 602 thanks to Bijou for mentioning it. 80K/day. Very basic but it will serve my purpose. I don't at all recommend it though unless you like dust, dirt, roaches, ants, mold, and mildew. He could at least clean the toilet before he rents the place. As a matter of fact the guy didn't even have any towels here. He said that people always bring their own. So I had to go out and spend a few thousand pesos on towels at Exito. I'm jacking someone in the building's Netgear wireless signal right now.
Well anyway, some girl who I met online probably two years ago met me at the airport. (I don't know which site because I have not been on any of them since last year.) She is 27 and was a bacteriologist before she lost her job. She is a solid 8. We took a taxi here to El Laguito for 15K. After I left my things in the apartment she took me to some restaurant to eat. I had fried fish and lemonade and she ate some crab claw appetizers and flan. 74K WTF? Then she took me to those old buildings behind the wall to look around. She had called her cousin at work and told her to meet us there. When her cousin arrived we walked around and talked a bit. Her cousin was black but she is more so white. She told me that if we go to the beach tomorrow she is going to need a new swimsuit. I said you live here in Cartagena, I'm sure you have one already. She said that it was ugly. I said we are going to the damn beach not to a fashion show. She said if I don't buy her one we won't be going to the beach. I agreed. No beach. I was thinking to myself damn, why didn't I just go the hooker route. It would have been much cheaper. We went to a bar on top of the wall called Casa del Mar. I loved the ambiance of this place. The two ladies had lemonade and I had a Club Colombia. 20K. She told me that her cousin lived far and asked if I could pay for her a taxi to go home. This is usually where I draw the line. The last time a girl in Bogota tried to pull that shit I gave them 2000 pesos before I walked back to my hotel. Anyway I'm still hoping that she will loosen up by the second meeting so I agreed.
We walked to Exito so I could buy some towels. She goes to get the most expensive towel she can find. 24K. I said negative. I asked the stock guys where the cheap towels were and they gave me one for 9K plus a wash cloth for 1. 8K. I also grabbed a 1. 5 liter H2O. When I got to the check out counter I asked the cashier where I could get a card for my Movistar cell. She said that she could do it on the register if I gave her the number. So I give her my number and old girl wants to get recharged as well. She said so she could call me. I told her no and that I would just call her instead. In my head I was thinking that if I never talk to this broad again in life it will be okay with me.
So it was about 9pm when we left out of Exito. We went to the main road and their were three taxis. I had to give her cousin 12K to go home and I had to give her 10K. It cost me 6K to get back here. So all in all, I spent 116K on this girl today and didn't get so much as a kiss. In Santa Fe I could have fucked five times and had money left over for a six pack of beer for that amount. Despite her good looks I won't be calling her again.
At 9 tomorrow morning another non-pro is supposed to come over and we are going to the beach. I was planning to leave here for Bogota on Thursday morning but I just told an old flame from Barranquilla that I am in Cartagena. She said if I will stay then she will take off work Friday and come spend it with me. She will arrive at 8am she says. I am really looking forward to that because this girl is a monster in the sack. I'll definitely change apartments or get a hotel before she gets here. Well let me get out of this apartment and go check out the chica venues. It's already 11:40pm.

I said we are going to the damn beach not to a fashion show. She said if I don't buy her one we won't be going to the beach. I agreed. No beach.
She told me that her cousin lived far and asked if I could pay for her a taxi to go home. This is usually where I draw the line. The last time a girl in Bogota tried to pull that shit I gave them 2000 pesos before I walked back to my hotel.
So it was about 9pm when we left out of Exito. We went to the main road and their were three taxis. I had to give her cousin 12K to go home and I had to give her 10K. It cost me 6K to get back here. So all in all, I spent 116K on this girl today and didn't get so much as a kiss.[/QUOTE]I think I would have dumped her ass right after the bikini discussion. If not then, I would have excused myself to go to the restroom at Cafe Del Mar and hightailed it into a taxi leaving her ass stranded there.
No self respecting Colombiana would even consider asking for money from someone they only know casually. Most have to much pride to even think about asking for such things. Fugget-about-it. Bacteriologist? What's the spanish word for Extortionist?

Great report Mr Enternational! I heard playa 602 was a dump. Guess thats why it goes for 35 a day. I pay twice that with Juan but you get what you pay for. Clean rooms, non shit stained toilets and hot water are a must for this gringo. If I can afford to fly down there I can afford a clean crib sin cucarachas.

I walked on the beach in the direction of El Laguito today and met who must be Tony #1. He introduced himself as Tony Montana. Those folks on the beach know they are hounds. Yeah, if I want a massage I know where to find you. You don’t have to keep coming asking me. At the end of the beach near Tony I saw a girl who had walked out of my dreams. I started talking to her. She said that she was on vacation from Medellin for 20 days. I forgot what she told me her job was. I asked her to dinner later on and she accepted. I needed to run to the apartment for a minute to store my stash that I had gotten out of the ATM so I asked her how long she would be at the beach. She told me until 6 pm It was 4 then. I must have gotten back at 5 but she and her friend were gone. I asked Tony if he saw where the girl I was talking to went. He told me to wait a second. He ran somewhere and came back and said she would be there in a couple of minutes. Well dammit. If he knows this girl she must be a hooker.
So when I got back she told me that they were about to go to the "Club Marino". She asked if I wanted to come but I was dressed for the beach. She said it was okay because they have a pool there. We walked to the street. I told her that I’d like to go to the club but I’m at the beach so that as well means that I don’t have any money with me. I asked her again what her job was. This time she told me that she gives company to men. Well dammit all to hell again. I asked if her friend did the same and she said yes. I asked why she didn’t tell me that in the first place and she said that she didn’t know me and it’s not good to tell people that right off. Right then Tony and some other guy came up wanting money because he went to get the girl for me. I told him that he didn’t tell me before that I would have to give him money. I only asked if he saw where she went. They kept pestering me while I was talking to the girl saying propina propina. I said man you didn’t do anything. What did you do? I asked the girl if he was her friend. She vehemently denied being friends with him. I ignored the guys and they finally got the message and buzzed off. I gave Carole my number and told her she could call me if she liked.
I went to find a spot in front of the water to spread my cloth out and read my book. A massage girl came over trying to drum up business. I told her that I didn’t need a massage I needed some sex. She said it would cost 100K for 2 hours. I told her that I didn’t have that much so how much for just her mouth. We finally settled on 50K for everything for 2 hours. I told her to come back at 6:15 and I would be ready to go. When we got to the apartment she told me that her friend rents that apartment out. I told her well it sucks! When we went in she didn’t want to take her clothes off in front of me for some reason. So I took a shower first then let her take hers. We had talked about music on the way to the apartment so when she got out of the shower I put a Bachata DVD into my laptop. She had some small milky tits, but nice nipples. She wanted to give me a CBJ but I talked her into a BBBJ. She was pretty good in the head department. I finally put a rubber on and tore that 20 year old pussy up. I let her leave 30 minutes early.
Later on I decided to walk to up Cra 2, the main drag, to get something to eat. While I walked up the street an SW called out to me from the other side of the street but I kept walking. I finally settled on Harvey. I got the parrillada and cherry lemonade. It came from 23K. Young Americans were sporadically coming up in Harvey. I asked them if they were in the Air Force because I remembered meeting an Air Force guy at the ATM earlier in the day. They said they were in the Navy and were hospital corpsmen on the Red Cross ship that I had seen in the water earlier. They said that they hadn’t been to a port since April 2 in Miami and the next port they would hit was Panama. By now they were out in droves. I decided to trade war stories with them. Three guys and one girl came up next. The guy who appeared to be with the girl was a bit tipsy and was talking loud. I could tell the girl was an SW. She came and sat at the table with me while the guy ordered food. She was pretty much my type except there was a problem with one of her teeth. I talked to her a bit. She told me that she was an SW and asked me if the guy was drunk. I said no he’s just having a good time. They finally left together. I finished up my food, paid my bill, and told the guys to have fun. They asked me if there were any shemales around because they wanted to avoid them. I told them that it was my first time in Cartagena but really the only place I have seen them in the country has been Bogota.
I stopped to get an ice cream cone for desert. I figured I’d go by LDV on my way back to the apartment because I had never been there. On my way down Cra 2 I ran into the girl from Harvey. I asked her what happened and why she was no longer with that Navy guy. She said that he didn’t want to pay the hotel to let her in so she left. She said she thought that I was friends with him. I told her nope. I’m debating. Do I go to LDV where I know I’m not about to give anyone 200K or do I use this situation to my advantage? She started with 100K for 2 hours but I worked her down to 50K! We walked all the way back to the apartment. She was sweating profusely. She did not know it was so far. It was my mistake. We should have taken a taxi. But to me it wasn’t far at all. She didn’t have to convince me to throw in taxi money for her to get back to Cra 2, she only had to ask once. I understood so I threw in an extra 5K.
I liked her. She was just my type. I was surprised I could get passed the tooth thing. I’m very funny about teeth and feet. She was a little shy at first about the C-section scar, but hell she looked good for having three kids. She also wanted to do a CBJ. I begged for a BBBJ but she said that she had dental work done so her mouth would bleed sometimes. I understood that. I never did get that BJ. I didn’t realize it until afterwards. Her pussy was so pretty and her tits were so milky that I wanted to dive right in. She told me that I was going to have to buy her baby some milk if I sucked all of his. I told her to just give him water!
She met my expectations. I told her that I might want her to stay all night. She told me for an extra 100K she would stay until 7am. Negative. I was not about to give her 100K just to sleep. Besides, I had busted mine so I was good for the night. The total damage for 2 freelancers was 105K.

I woke up this morning so glad that I would be leaving Apt. 602. Nobody had written me back or called concerning my inquiries of other apartments so I would have to beat my feet on the concrete. I decided to go check out La Boquilla about 11 am. I remembered Bijou saying that apartments in that area were pretty cheap. I went downstairs and flagged down a taxi. I asked how much to go to La Boquilla. He said 12. The magic number. I think the ride was about 18 minutes. It was just past the airport. Where the water meets the shore was maybe 100 meters from the road. He drove me all the way down. There were guys down there ready to rip me apart. They even opened the door for me to get out. I was not giving them anything though. The driver asked me what time I was leaving because he wanted to give me a ride. I told him that I had no idea but I would take his cell number.
I decided to walk the shore. Twice touts followed me at least 100 meters trying to hawk their services. I ignored them though. One line that I remember both of them saying was that I could take a chair with them and I wouldn’t have to worry about anybody bothering me. I’m thinking well you are the only one bothering me so what does that say? I walked damn near the whole beach. I tripped on how the guys from the construction sites come down in droves to bathe in the ocean when they have breaks. Also I was tripping on how different the setting looks at these new buildings compared to how they look in the magazine on the airplane. I mean the buildings look the same but they don’t go with the dark sand/dirt beaches. I decided that I wanted to take a load off and eat and read my book. I stopped in at a place where the guy brought me a plate of uncooked fish to view and told me that the red snapper would be 25K. I decided against it but wanted the chicken that would cost me 15K. I told him to bring me the breast portion and a lemonade. While he was gone I was thinking to myself 15K seems kind of odd. I know all of these locals aren’t paying this much for food. I always pay 8 – 10K at my places in downtown Bogota. I should have gone more towards the main street to look.
I was in luck. The guy came back and said they didn’t have the breast. So I told him never mind. I went towards the street to look for a place. I finally found a local spot. It was no more than a porch but it had a makeshift sign outside that listed all the dishes they had. I sat down at a table and the waitress came to ask what I wanted. I asked what they had. She told me "meat or pork! " Those were my only choices. I love to swine and dine so I chose the pork. I didn’t even ask the price. She came back with a bowl of sancocho. It was delicious. Then she came with the main dish. There was pork something or other, rice, spaghetti with sauce, and salad all on the same plate. There was also a cup of what I called Colombian Kool Aid – ice cold. It tasted quite familiar but I still couldn’t finger it. When I finished the meal I asked the waitress how much I owed. 4,000 pesos she said. I gave her a 5 and she brought me 1 back. I told her to keep it. You would have thought that I had just given her a new BMW. She was as happy as a lark.
I walked back to the beach and took it to the point where the taxi driver had dropped me off. I never saw any signs of apartments for rent and I didn’t bother asking anyone. I figured I’d just go inquire at the hotels on Cra 2. I then walked up street side. I didn’t have anything else to do so I said I’ll hop in the first thing that passes, bus or taxi. It was a bus. I got in and paid my 1200 pesos. I sat with a girl in the third seat behind the driver. I had to sit sideways because the back of each seat was so close to the front of the seat behind it. It’s like they built the bus for tall midgets. High seats with no leg room.
I rode the hell out of that bus. I had no idea where I was. I just wanted to ride around and check out the city. The driver stopped at the main office and blew the horn. A lady with a clipboard came out and looked at the counter on the turnstile. She did some calculations and told him that he had to give her 150,200 pesos. He counted it out then handed it over. We were on our way again. We rode through a dirt road neighborhood. Finally the last person got off the bus and I was the only one left. I don’t think the driver even saw me because I was sitting directly behind him and he was chatting with a friend who rode in the doorway for about 20 minutes. He was about to turn into the bus yard when he noticed me. I told him that I was just riding around checking out the city. If I didn’t learn anything else I learned that they have more than their fair share of pharmacies (many times 2 on the same block) and at the cemeteries you can’t see the grass for all of the flowers. I exited the bus and started walking.
I saw a mototaxi and asked him how much to go to Boca Grande. He looked at me like I was crazy. He said man you have to get a real taxi to go there. So I walked around the neighborhood for about 1.6 km looking for the main street or any yellow taxi. All I saw were motorcycle taxis. I was shocked when a woman with a baby and two other kids walked up to me with a cup and asked for money. I’m like damn, I thought they only did that in the tourist areas, and not in their own neighborhood. I finally spotted the main street. Before I walked all the way to it I stopped at a corner store and got a Postobon.
I drank my gaseosa while walking to the main street. I saw an available taxi and flagged him down. He told me that it would be 15K to go to El Laguito. Perfect. He stopped and got 5K worth of natural gas. The needle barely moved, whereas I’ve seen 11K fill my girl’s car up from empty in Brazil. It was enough to get me back to Cra. 2 though. He must have blown his horn all the way there. After the 38 minute ride I told him to let me out in front of Hotel Barahona 446.
I went in to ask about the rooms. The clerk told me that he didn’t have any singles but a double would be 80K and another 80K tomorrow after 1pm. I didn’t really like the rooms so I told him that I would look around at other hotels first. I then went across the street to Hotel Playa. The clerk told me that I would have to pay 165K until tomorrow at 3pm and another 30K from 3pm until 6pm when I planned on leaving. I went to take a look at the room and decided to take it. I told him that I had to go get my things from an apartment that I was in and would be right back.

First of all let me say that I feel like a new man since I left that Apt. 602. I’m staying in Hotel Playa right now. I’m paying COP 195,000 until tomorrow at 6pm. Before, I didn’t know if I would be back to Cartagena. But already my luck has changed. The girl who I mentioned in this post http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=795172&postcount=1402 showed up today.
I’ll call her Jenny. The truth of the matter is that I never even considered calling her until the other two non-pros jumped ship. I haven’t said anything to her since the incident mentioned in the post. But I ended up calling her yesterday when I had another non-pro malfunction. She barely remembered who I was. But when I talked to her she said she was busy and would come see me the next day which was today. I gave her a buzz this morning when I woke up and she said she was at work and would call me later. I told her that I was going to the beach but would listen for her call.
She called me while I was walking La Boquilla and said she was going to lunch. I told her that she should come eat with me at the beach but she said it was too far and would see me about 4pm at the "apartment". She called me at 3:38 to say she was on her way. I told her okay even though I was on the bus wayyy out of pocket on my journey around Cartagena. I ended up arriving at the apartment to gather my things at 4:45. When I went downstairs to give the doorman the key there was a fox in front of the desk. She asked me why I was already leaving (as if she had made my acquaintance before). I told her that I couldn’t stay in Cartagena all my life and besides the apartment sucked. I was just about to get some prices from her when Jenny walked up. I immediately went for her lips.
Sidebar: An old navy/college buddy taught me freshman year that if a girl lets you kiss her then she will let you fuck her. I remember us being in the parking lot of a club about 2 am talking to these chicks. He gets the girl's phone number and when he said bye he kissed her right smack dab on the lips. I was like what the fuck dude? How did you do that? That is when he taught me the rule. And it has not failed me yet. That is why anytime you see me meet a woman for the first time before we part ways I try to kiss her on the lips. (I have a funny story about this from the other day that I will post in the Dominican Republic section. http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showpost.php?p=884429&postcount=1403) If it’s a chick from the internet then I try it as soon as we see each other. I’m 100% for chicks who have let me kiss them; most of the time we are in the sack on the first day. And for chicks that have not (as the first two Cartagena non-pros were) I’m approaching 0 on the x-axis. The theory behind the whole idea is that women know from the time they meet you if they are going to fuck you or not. And the kiss or no kiss is the variable that helps you solve the equation.
We jumped in a taxi to go around the corner to Hotel Playa. During the short ride I held her hand and kissed her on the cheek and the lips gently several times. When we arrived the guy at the desk asked her if she was staying with me and she told him no. I think he remembered me telling him early when I was searching for rooms that my girlfriend was coming from Barranquilla and he probably thought that was her. He told her that if she was going up to the room then he would need her cedula. So she gave it to him so he could copy the information. We headed up to the room.
I sweated up a storm today on my journey around Cartagena so as soon I got to the new crib I was ready to take a shower. She sat in the chair and watched TV while I was gone. I came out in nothing but a towel then I went to the closet to my suitcase and slid some underwear on under the towel then I put on sweat pants. I threw her a t-shirt from Thailand that I bought in bulk for the ladies who I might meet. I said here is a present for you. She was really thankful and liked the gift. I plopped down on the bed and asked her what she wanted to do. She said that she just wanted to get to know me.
I pulled her out of the chair and on to the bed. I started kissing on her cheeks and her lips again. When I rubbed on her stomach I saw that she had a ribbon tied in place of a belt. I said what is this? It is not Christmas but it looks like a present for me. I tried to untie the ribbon but it was in a knot. I told her that it was not fair that I could not open my present. So she untied the ribbon and then I unbuttoned and unzipped her pants and started rubbing around with my hand inside her panties as I kissed her on the stomach. It’s times like this that I’ve been known to say something stupid and have talked myself right out of pussy. So I remembered to keep my mouth shut.
Before I knew what was happening she was 6 and I was 9. She was on me like a nuclear warhead headed for Cartagena was 15 minutes out. Like she would never get anymore dick again in her life. I mean this was one of the best head jobs that I have had in my life. So I stopped doing her and moved her legs to the side so I could concentrate more on what SHE was doing. She did me with even more enthusiasm. So much that she came. I don’t think a chick has ever cum just by sucking me. And she still would not stop. She was going for the gold.
As much as I would have liked to pop in her mouth there was no way in hell I was letting her off that easy. I had to feel the gushy gushy. So I was able to pry her off long enough to grab a condom out of my bag. I was tempted to get my toys out too but I decided to just wait for the girl to come from Barranquilla tomorrow. I went back and knelt on the bed and pulled her head back to my dick. I let her chomp for a couple minutes more. When I put the condom on she immediately went into doggy style mode. I usually find myself playing Simon Says and having to direct everything. But I just love a woman who takes initiative.
I started slapping her ass from the back and pulling her long ass single braid that I had wrapped around my hand. She was loving it. I was getting weak but I wanted to try some more positions. I turned her over for mish and that did the trick. She was too much for me. I could not resist. It felt like the Nestea plunge. After I came I pulled her on top of me for cowgirl. She rode me like a champ until I had no more hard-on left. And when I tell you that she was sweating like a pig. She was dripping all over me and the A/C was on 18C! My ass was totally stunned. I did not expect any of this, especially from her. And to think that I was not even going to give her a call. I would have looked quite the fool.
Now I’m ready to buy Playstations and whatever else she wants. If she would only have told me about all of this in the first place then I would have come to Cartagena long ago. I asked for her take on what had just happened. She said it was pure attraction. She said she had worked up an appetite and wanted to go get something to eat. I told her that she couldn’t take that pussy away from here. She said not to worry because I could get it again tomorrow. NOT! Old girl from Barranquilla is coming at 8 am So I told her that I was leaving early in the morning going back home. I said that while she was bullshitting I might be moving in with her and not going back home as good as that pussy was. She told me to be serious because she lives with her mom and dad. I said well shit do I need to call them and tell them to expect me. She started laughing then went to take a shower.
We walked over to what is starting to be one of my favorite spots in Cartagena, Harvey. I got an arepa with lomito, patacons, and melon juice and she got a patacon with everything and a mango juice. She asked me if she could get a hot dog to bring to her son. I said girl you can bring him everything on this menu if you want. Shit the least I could have done was to buy her a ticket to the moon after what she had just done for me. But anyway, I ordered 2 hawaiian dogs to go (one for her son and one for her nephew) and I decided to have a mango juice while we waited.
While I was drinking my juice we saw a bus go by and she said that it was the bus that went to her house. Lo and behold it was the same bus that I had ridden to the end of the line from La Boquilla. Earlier we were comparing distances of things around Cartagena and I remembered that a taxi to her house 40 minutes away costs COP 15000 (equal time and money to the ride I took earlier today. Could it be I was walking around her neighborhood and didn’t even know it? ), the same as the airport which is less than half the distance. The waiter brought me the bill 45K. I gave him a 50 and a 20 and told him to bring me change for the 20. When he got back I gave her 15 for a taxi and she was thankful. She still decided to take the bus though. So I waited with her the short time that it took another bus to come by. We kissed on the lips and she got on her bus. Total damage for the non-pro session of my life: 60K COP or $US 28.
The pictures are the girl from Day 1 and her cousin then "Jenny" from today.

Mr. Enternational, sorry I steered you wrong on Playa Mar 602. I was in the apartment only for a few minutes during my trip in April while talking to the guy renting the apartment at the time. At first glance, it looked ok and like a good deal, but I guess after a closer look and staying in the apartment, it wasn't that great? Also, sorry I couldn't be more specific on the apartments in Playa Boquilla.

But when I came back that night and had a longer, closer look and had to stay there it sucked.

I got to CTG on June 9th and am sharing a small apt. With a friend and his Novia. Never again. What money I am saving is being spent on paying 30K for a two hour hotel and all kind of taxi fees.
June 10th went to LDV at 11:00 pm and there were about 40 Chicas and maybe 7 or 8 hombres. I think I saw only one other Gringo in the place. The girls were hungry, and they kept making passes at my table. I spent some money on buying each girl a drink as they sat with me but no one got my moter racing. At last one came over and at first she I thought was not for me, but she started with a full GFE right there in the place. I mean she took her tits out for me to suck on and put my finger on her butt and in her snatch. Much DFK and grinding me on the dance floor.
She wanted 300, 000K but I was drunk at this time but still I ended up paying 200, 000 K.
Got to the hotel and it was better than I thought since I have been burned before, as we all have. BBBJ and much more besos. After two hours they knocked on the door and we called it a night.
On the ride back to Laguito we were stoped by the police and I had to empty my pockets and was pat frisked. They were pissed that I was clean since this was at 4 am and I am sure they wanted a bribe from me.
I forget her name and that is nothing new for me as I will be going to Isis and Queen tomorrow night. A report will follow.

Last night checked out Queen and Isis in the old city. 10K cover for Queen that included a beer. Two Chicas at the bar and they were not good at best. One of them approched my table and I left as soon as possible. Did not ask price as I would of not done her for free. Walked a block or so and went into Isis. This was a different ball game altogether. The place was loaded with fine looking very sexy Chicas. They ranged from 8 to a lot of 9s to a few 10s. No cover and a beer was 7K. One of the 10s caught my eye and grabbed her Amiga who was a 9 and started to simiulate french kissing with her. That is a big turn on for me so I sent them a drink each and moved over next to them. The 10 raised the 9s dress and surprise, she had nothing on under the dress.
They wanted for me to take them both for 520K. I countered with an offer of 300K for both. At this point there was no counter offer by either of us and I departed cussing myself for not being in a positon where money is no object. I highly recommed Isis to just go and drool at that fine selection of talent.
On the way home I stopped at LDV and there was a few more Hombres there than last night but still plenty of fine Chicas to choose from. I stayed a little while and after rejecting a few offers I left dreaming of the girls of Isis.

No info on the chics.Yes that was Tony.
Cartagena was a Pussy stampede.
Dogs said cause schools out.March wasn't nearly as good.
No complaints.
Going to CTG in two days but plan to make a side trip to Barranquilla. Have a young hottie who wants me to hang out with her and one of her girlfriends. I want to go where the non pro action will be. My spanish is great! I'm young and they tend to go for me. I would like to go where lots of people will be, so that I may people watch and engage strangers (particularly women). While I'm with my young hotties, I would also like to window shop. My Spanish is great. Can anyone help me out with suggestions on where to hang out? What parts of the city? Something like the old city outdoor food courts. Doesn't have to be exactly like that but active with people and places to sit and shoot the shit, grab something to eat and sip on a drink, but in Barranquilla.

I have been in CTG now for 2 weeks and when I go into LDV it was always 300K the starting price that they were asking. Last night Me and two other guys were the only men in the place. They left and I was now the only chance for the payday. They came to my table and since I guess they thought I knew the ropes the starting price became 150K. I was quite surprised at his nice turn of events.
Finally Julie, who I had been with a few times for 190K, came over and asked me if I had any fantisys. Yes I said I like three somes. She then brought another chica to the table and for a total of 300K we were in business. I have had a few three somes in my time, but his one was special. Full blown lesbo action I had the pleasure to witness. You know how we all wonder if the orgasimo is real or not, well they had me put my fingers in thier sopping pussys and it was runing out like hot oil. Anyway I had seen action eariler so after they both worked me over for quite a while I told them I had enough.
Julie then said no to that and ripped the condom off and gave me the BBBJ that finally did the trick.
Did I mention that I love Colombia.

Did this price include the house fee?
Last April I went to check Isis. Rate is 250 K ST / 500 K LT.
Same same that Bambu ( Old Tripletera)
I was in Cartagena for two weeks visiting my wife and son so I was not able to get away for much play time. Boy it is hard to get away when so many people in Bocagrande and Laquito know me and my wife.
I paid my visit to Tony to see what he had available for some take away, but was not impressed with what he offered. There were also many tourists the time I was there, so it was harder to spot the girls for company.
I arrived in Cartagena on a Thursday and told my wife I would arrive on Saturday, so I took advantage. About an hour after I got to the apartment a guy I know told me about Elizabeth (real name Louisa). Other guys I met had spent time with her and we all agree, she was the prettiest girl we had come across. She looked like a young Sharon Stone (think Total Recall) with a sprinkling of a few freckles and is 20 years old. She has light brown hair with blonde streaks and when she wears in a pony tail, she looks like an American college girl. She is twenty years old and from Medellin. She works out for about three hours each afternoon at Body Tech, so you might spot her there. I paid her 150K for three hours and took her to get something to eat afterwards. She offers CBJ, lots of kissing and will lick the balls she enoys placing a finger in your ass. She did not like much oral on her because she will come quickly. She has a 34. B and the cutest tight bunda on a 5'4" frame and about 110 pounds. She has a sweet personality and loves to listen to her Ipod as we walked to dinner. She would put one earpeace in my ear and the other in hers, which meant she had to walk arm in arm with me. She left soon afterwards to Medellin and came back the day I left. I was not able to get a picture, but she has no problems posing. She used to model as a teen and now attends a university. If anybody is heading to Cartagena, please get her picture and post it.
After a day of play, I surprised my wife a day early and showed up at the Casino she likes to go to in the late afternoon. After talking and drinking a few glasses of Buchanan we headed to the apartment to freshen up and enjoy some Chivas I bought in Miami. After eating at Riquisimo, we headed to LaPerla and spent a few hours before we we next door to LDV. My wife is usually very outgoing and eveyone knows when she is around. We order a bottle of whiskey which attracted many of the girls in LDV. My wife usually gave a shot to a girl without any issues, but a few she would have them sit down and talk. Little did I kow, she was arranging fun for us later. Unfortunately, I wish she would have told me so I would not have drunk so much. We left LDV with a young girl with a petite body and long black hair. After a drink back to the apartment, they started undressing me and pushing me towards the bed. In my drunken stupor, I soon found myself between either my wife's legs or our guest's legs. For the next four hours I found two sets of lips around my cock, fingers exploring my nether regions and at one time I woke up on the floor and to look up and see the young girl attacking my wifes clit vigorously with her tounge. So finding myself awake and nothing to do, I went behind the girl and started diving into her with my tongue. I know I did not dream this because at some point my wife took a picture. The worst part was then being nudge awake at 7 in the morning to go to the ATM to pay the girl. With my wife deciding to go to sleep, the girl and I headed out in the taxi where she proceded to slide her pants to her kees so I could finger fuck her and lick her pussy one last time. It was quick because the damn taxi drive drove like a bat out of hell. I told him to go around the block a few times.
My wife woke me at noon and she wanted to go back to our house in the Zaragocilla area. I went back to bed while she went to get some clothes and take a shower. When she returned, she brought a good friend of hers. When we got married 6 years ago, this girl was everyman's dream. Every guy that saw our wedding video, begged to be introduced to her. She is now 27 and her husband kicked her out of their house without her two kids. She is still very good looking and stands 5'6' 105 lbs. She had her breasts implants removed, but she still had 36- Cs. She provided some relief later during my visit and found out she is moving to Chicago this Monday which means she will be a short 3 hour drive from me. My wife has no problem with her coming to our house in the states for a weekend visit. I will make sure I get pictures when she arrives and will post.
I wish I had more to report, but two weeks going shopping, casinos, and movies is not what I had in mind when I arrived. Even though I was with my wife, I still had some good action. She tells me since there are many girls in Cartagena willing to do the work on me, she would rather go shopping while somebody else does all of the work.

Good luck senorRicker,
I guess that is the difference between being single and married. I just make sure I am discreet so my wife will not lose face around the area. It does get difficult to do, but I manage a few encounters each visit.
I got to admit, I have a very cool wife and could not enjoy visits with her more. After six years of marriage with her in the US for three years, it will be nice for her to get back to the states after a two year absence.
Isis is not a casa it is for take out only.
There is no house fee.
If you're going to be making a prostitute your life partner -- or supporting her (same thing) -- damn straight you ought to be getting the multiple chica benefit.I do not appreciate you making the assumption that my wife was a prostitute and find your comments crass and inappropriate. I actually met her while staying at the Hilton and she worked in one of the small shops inside the complex.
She enjoys many activities including playing roulette at the casino in Bocagrande. She has a vey active life and just like married women in the US, she does not always want sex 24 hours a day 7 days a week and unfortunately she had her period one of the weeks I was there. When I am on vacation, I enjoy sex more than she can provide. She understands that and makes sure I am satisfied either with her or with somebody else.
Many of the working girls also visit the casinos to relax prior to going to LDV or other discos and my wife makes acquaintances of all types of people. They range from men and women in their early thirties to late 70s and each time we walk in Bocagrande, we are usally stopped at least three times by people she knows. Many people know her because of her outgoing personality and she does not look down on anybody because of social or financial status. As we were entering a restaurant, there was an older lady wanting a few coins, so she went inside and ordered an extra meal and took it out to her. Just because she knows some of the girls does not mean she is in the profession. She likes too many other activities to be involved and makes a good living on her own to support herself and her son. She goes to school in the afternoon and then opens her small hamburger/ hot dog stand in the evening where she sells beer, rum, sodas from the garage of our house.
I rarely send money to her except for birthday/Christmas and tuition for school for her and my son (stepson). She does not have much money left over for a pair of Nikes (which costs about $150-$200 in Colombia) for her or her son. When I am there I make sure she can go to the mall for her to shop. It is her vacation also in many ways.
I do not mean to call you out, but want you to understand it is not appropriate to infer things about somebody without knowing the facts. I do not make assumptions about other people or what their mothers or sisiters do to make a buck. I can see where you came to that conclusion so I thought it best to explain so there are no other false assumptions.

Xmann02She is to fly in today, but I am not sure when I will get a telephone call. The last I heard, she got in touch with some member of her family that offered to let her stay in their house. Until I hear from her, who knows. Colombianas change their minds quickly and unexpectedly. I let you know.

Come on Guys.

That is all we need.
USA has their own Threads. But I do not trust. After all you can go to jail for having sex in the U.S. of A. Except in Nevada. But $500. is way tooooo much for me.
This CTG update goes along with my previous post found here: http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?t=582&page=6&pp=15
I spent 3 nights in CTG. I stayed at: http://www.colombiarental.net/index....21&Itemid=38
I would recommend this place without hesitation. Nothing fancy, but clean and right accross (steps) from LDV and very close to beach action. Only issue with the doormen is upon arrival they charged me 10000 pesos to sign me in. I verified with Dave (who rents the apartment out) that this was vaild. No biggie. Never got charged for taking girls up the apartment.
This time of the year is when university students get a month off and I met many hot girls in the 7-8 range (see my rating scale on my earlier post) from various parts of COL. LDV was packed on the two nights I went, as was Elektra, but Isis didn't impress and neither did Bambu. Beach action was good and plentiful, with "Tony Number 1" doing his thing. ASKED prices ranged from 100-300 mil pesos with negotiating the norm. In fact, a few girls looked almost surprised when I didn't counter and just walked away (mostly because I wasn't into them).
For quality, CTG is great. For prices, maybe not so. But, I'm already planning my next trip.
PS> I had one night in PTY and have provided that update in the Panama section
As I’m new to the forum, thought best to provide a post of my trip in May to CTG. I realize the info’s a couple of months dated, but like I said just found the forum and wanted to contribute. I’ll provide a lot of details so I’ll split the report into a few parts.
Arrived on Wednesday afternoon, first thing I noticed getting off the plane was the heat & humidity. Oh well! TIC – this is Colombia. Getting thru immigration/customs was unevenful. Changed fifty bucks at the airport; knew I wasn’t getting the best rate but needed some pesos for the cab to centro. Having traveled to various parts of the world, negotiated fare of 15k before getting into taxi parked right outside. Should’ve asked if the ac worked as it was a 30 minute ride thru afternoon traffic.
Stayed at a studio apartment on calle de la moneda for $75/night. Don’t know if this was too high/low but it was centrally located for me, within a couple of blocks of Exito supermarket and around the corner from Olympia convenience store. Apt. Was newly renovated and had a nice balcony for watching chicas go by. If intrested PM me and I’ll provide contact info.
Wednesday night, still tired from the trip, decided to check out downtown. Found a good restaurant in San Pedro plaza which served asian fusion/sushi. Good food but a little on the pricy side.
I speak/understand a good deal of spanish (helpful in ctg) and I was able to find out where the sites were in centro from some locals. Went to Queens Club around 8 PM, saw 4 chicas just hanging out chatting. They were about 6’s/7’s. Approached one at the bar who was the better looking of the group. We chatted for a while said, told me 150k for ST. It was still early so decided to pass and headed out after one Aguila.
Walked around centro for a while, which is surprisingly safe at night, but still remained aware of my surroudings because after all: TIC. I saw this really hot blond chica, walking with her two friends. She was wearing a short brown dress which showed off her boobs nicely; was a solid 8 but her friends were not so good looking. Came to find out it was her birthday and was heading to Santo Domingo plaza for some drinks. Asked if I could tag along and she said fine. As we sat drinking another couple girls showed up. One was a morena in her upper twenties, ok face but a hot body and nice ass (more about her later). I was the only guy, now sitting with five girls, in the outdoor plaza which attracted the attention of some German guys sitting at the next table. Couple of the girls were interested in the guys but language was a problem. I served as translator but the guys were more interested in thier beers. After spending a couple of hours drinking with the girls, I realized that 3 of the 5 were definately P4P. I had a nice time with the girls but wanted to check out LDV before I got too drunk. I got the numbers for the two hottest girls (blond and morena). Told the girls I wanted to take off, dropped 50k on the table and said they should pay the rest. Girls were sad that I left, but it was my first night and I didn’t want to get tied down.
Got to LDV around 1 AM. There were about thrity girls and not even half as many guys (global recession, who knows? ). Got a Club Colombia at the bar, 7K, and decided to scope out the talent. Before I knew it two girls came over. They were both early twenties one costena about 5’3 the other a light brunette about 4’11 with hot bodies. Both wore those sack dresses that are so popular with the girls now. Asked how much for both, 500K. It was late and my first day so decided on just the costena for 300k TLN. We took a cab back to the apt. On the way she asked how come I’m not staying in laguito/bocagrande like the other gringos which made me laugh because I knew from the question that this girl '’knew her way about town’. Some nice DFK and hand holding in the cab. Got back to the apt. Where she began an enthusiatic BBBJ which went on for about 20 mins. She slipped on the presarvativo and began to ride me cowgirl with that nice circular motion that makes you feel the entire inside of her va-gene (borrowed from Borat) and DFK while grinding. Since I’m paying/lazy I like the chica to do most of the work. She then asks me to do her doggy which we do for a little while but I soon bring her back to cowgirl. We continue grinding until we’re both soaked in sweat. I blow while she slightly tightens her muscles like I’ve noticed some of the more experienced chicas like to do. Gives a good sensation if you’ve ever had it done. Exhausted we go to sleep. I wake up the next moring around 8 start my advances, and she’s ready to go again. We do mish; she’s into it moaning and what not given that I woke her up. I’ve sometimes found that TLN girls are not at their best the next morning but this wasn’t the case here. On the negative side: I noticed that her breasts were sagging; kinda like when implants have been taken out, but decided not to ask. She was in no hurry to leave and left around 10. I paid her & gave her 5k for a cab. I took her number number because she had a good attitude and to be polite but knew that ctg was full of women and would only call her again if in a pinch.
Summary:
Looks/body: 7.5/10, Performance 9/10. Total damage: 305k. Rest of the trip in a later report.

In LDV two nights ago, I see girls at the door being denied entry. A couple of them.- young, good-looking, hot. Stepped outside for a closer look and examination. They said they were from Medellin (and they had the look, would have guessed) visiting for a week or two. Also said they were eighteen, and might have been, a close call on that one. But, neither could produce a cedula to prove. At that point another chica walks up. Also from Medellin and maybe a couple years older. Shows her cedula (20) and asks if I wanted her friend (s) it was $40. I said no cedula, they don't get into my building (or not this gringos pants, jaja). Chica points to an apartment window across the street and said we could go there.- no problem. Maybe, erred on the side of safety, but compelled to decline.

Hola guys!
I am new here and I have a pertinent question. I am going to CTG in 2 weeks (for 6 day stay) and would strongly prefer to stay in a hotel as it is my first time in Colombia and my Spanish is very basic (I have been to PTY, CR, DR and Amst before so I am not a complete novice).
Can anyone recommend a decent "guest friendly" hotel under $120 per night preferably in a walking distance from LDV. I have looked at Dann as it was mentioned somewhere as chica friendly, but the information is very dated and I am not sure still valid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. A full report upon return at the end of the month (with pictures) will be supplied by me.

A full report upon return at the end of the month (with pictures) will be supplied by me.For about $100 a night, you will be able to rent a two dedroom with flat screen TVs, great bed with a master suite bathroom. This is located about a 5 minute walk from LDV in a two year old building (Mirador del Laquito). I never had problems with guests.
I just do not see the need to spend $ for a hotel room that is cramped when you can live it up very well in an apartment. You can contact Mery Salence at oficernaatyahoo.com for details. There are other options available also. Mery speaks English.
There are many other apartments mentioned here previously. I have rented apartments from Juan Ventura also. I like the Mirador del Laquito, but the Playa Mar is also good. But like I said there are many options based upon your taste. Be sure to ask for one with a pool.

Hola guys!
I am new here and I have a pertinent question. I am going to CTG in 2 weeks (for 6 day stay) and would strongly prefer to stay in a hotel as it is my first time in Colombia and my Spanish is very basic (I have been to PTY, CR, DR and Amst before so I am not a complete novice).
Can anyone recommend a decent "guest friendly" hotel under $120 per night preferably in a walking distance from LDV. I have looked at Dann as it was mentioned somewhere as chica friendly, but the information is very dated and I am not sure still valid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. A full report upon return at the end of the month (with pictures) will be supplied by me.

1) I heard that area gets a lot of rain in October so I am thinking of switching my trip to November, which has about half as much rain as October, at least in the Santa Marta area (am I spelling it right? ), which is north of Cartagena. I guess Cartagena has similar weather as Santa Marta. I would not want to be in a beach resort area like Cartagena when it rains a lot. Any info about the weather?
2) From what I am reading on this site the cheapest decent apartment or hotel room would cost at least $80 US per nite in Cartagena. Is this true? I usually don't like to go over US $50 per nite when I travel. I don't need luxury, but I don't want to stay in a dump though. Anything decent in Cartagena for under $80?

Anything decent in Cartagena for under $80?November is the highest hotel season in Cartagena. The beauty pageant and other local events make this particular time specially crowded and, therefore, expensive (and also full of GORGEOUS nonpros and semipros from other cities coming to party hard for a couple of weeks.)
If you're definitely mindful of how much you spend, November isn't a good month for hitting this spot.
Thank you for all responses - I appreciate everyone's opinion, however I would like to stay in a hotel. I have my personal reasons, which are quite valid.
Nevertheless - I looked at various hotels and settled on Dann Hotel, which is located in the middle of the action in Laguito. I had a friend who speaks fluent Spanish to call them direct. They quoted him "Gringo" price of $325 (!) per night. My friend countered that they have a special posted on the Spanish version of their web site of 110k pesos per night. They said that it is for double occupancy and offered "another room" for 190k pesos per night. Breakfast included, but no ocean view and the Internet is $12 per day extra. They promised to e-mail me confirmation, but nothing arrived in 24 hours. No problem with me - it was expected no less - it is Latin America after all, so I'll call them back myself to confirm. I read somewhere that Dann is guest friendly, if anyone can confirm this, it will be highly appreciated.

I will post an overview of the "hotel experience" when I come back. I understand that most visitors opt for an apartment, but I found this thread to be lacking any good reviews of a hotel stay (I read about 20-30 pages back and found only passerby references to Hilton without any indication if it is indeed allows for hassle-free guests).

Sorry,
I recommend this Hotel. My buddy and I stayed there.
It is only a few more blocks away from LDV, on the main street across from the beach. Friendly staff and should not have any problem bringing in a guest. There is a Love Motel a few doors down, if there is a problem.
Hotel Playa, Avenida San Martin # 4-87, Bocagrande. Rates: 136k - 200k, Pool, WiFi downstairs only. Tel: (57) (5) 665 0552, 665 0579, 665 0593, Fax: (57) 95) 665 0036. E-Mail: reservas@cartagenahotelplaya.com http://www.hotelplayactg.com/home.htm

Has anybody stay in the Alta-Mar-Del-Cabrero Condominium Complex in Cabero? Can anybody who has stay there give me a Report of the night area is like? Is it like Laguito or is it more dangerous?
Please let me know or PM me.
Thank you, WT69! I have looked at Hotel Playa - it looked pretty good, but having wifi in my room is one of my core requirements. I will report if Dann is guest friendly and to what degree.
I can never forget returning to DaysInn in San Hose (across the street from Del Ray) late at night with two beautiful girls and the hotel people telling me I can only bring one (1) girl with me to the room. Unable to choose, I was forced to pay for a another room just to get the second girl in which was a shame since I never even went to that extra room. In contrary, I had no such problem in Boca Chica, where a $5 tip to a guy guarding the door was more than sufficient. From my experience, smaller hotels have less restrictive practices than larger chains.
I'm new on this website but I would like to help you to find wherever you want in cartagena. soon I'll post some hotel and new information about discos and prices.

Just a little note that the penthouse Juan rents has just completed it's second remodeling.
The marble floors were not giving off a good shine so they were replaced with porcelain floors that are so clean you can eat off them.
All the sofas were re-skinned since the leather was looking dull.
All the bedrooms, as well as the main living room, have LCD TV's now.
There is now a small LCD screen that shows you who is in the lobby before you grant permission to enter.
There is a new metal security door in the stairwell on the floor below the penthouse that prevents anyone without keys from even entering the floor. The police were called on my one night for too much noise and gave up when they got to the security door.
The speakers have been replaced on the terrace around the Hot Tub.
We added our own private water filtration system and a new water pumping station. You could actually probably drink the water now unlike any other apartment in Laguito but we still provide free bottle water.
Ethernet has been added to the main room and the two downstairs bedrooms for those guys who have been asking to hook up their gadgets directly.
The new Belkin router shows who is online in a little screen so you can see if anyone is stealing bandwidth.
The entire place has been painted inside and out.
A new large desk has been added in the main bedroom as well as other pieces of furniture throughout.
For those who stay in it a couple years ago you would agree the elevator sucked. Well it was fixed a while ago and is very reliable now.
There are several other small things as well. I am going to make a video soon showing it room by room so people can see exactly what they are getting for the money.
If you want futher info email Juan at itts@hotmail.com
