That's funny. I Been drinking old par, Medellin Rum and (Sangria from Carbon de palo for years.



Too funny I had the same thought on coming across Old Parr on signs and menus in Cartagena.
Never heard of it state-side, but Old Parr is prominent in CTG!

Spent a few nights in Cartagena in early April, stayed in Bocagrande at the Hampton. Here's some general info. Mongering part 2 to follow.

**Hotel.

Good location. This Hampton is pretty basic (more so than US locations), but nice enough if you are on a quick trip (also good if you are building Hilton status / points, or prefer online booking system). I think longer trips or repeat visits should go to an apartment or an upscale hotel.

Beds are okay (good by Colombia standards), small fridge, safe, fast WiFi. Free breakfast (6-10 pm).

Chica-friendly (they need a cedula). 17th-story roof top pool has a great view, but closes at 6 pm. Very minimal gym. Hotel does the right thing and won't charge you the 16% VAT (some places you have to fight about this).

** Taxis.

Near the Hampton, Taxis seem to be priced higher (they start at 8 or 10 K to el centro, even if you've got decent Spanish). Ask price first, tell them it's too much if it's too much. I personally don't like to fight with the locals over 66 cents.

One trick: look for the old, dirty, beat up taxis instead of the larger shiny ones. The latter are usually more expensive.

** Exchange Rate.

1 USD has been in the 3000-3100 COP range for the last month. Both credit card and ATM withdrawals were very close to the actual rate that day. Much better than money changers.

** Groceries / ATM.

Carulla "Castillogrande" is on the upscale side, has a better selection of liquor. There's two ATMs in front, the lefthand one (chip-friendly) has a high 780 K withdrawal limit, 10.5 K fee for that.

** Malls.

I checked out Centro Commercial Plaza Bocagrande, which is fairly new, and the lower levels have surprisingly upscale stores (and no customers). The top floor is a food court with Colombian offerings and views of the ocean. US style air-condiitoning.

** Restaurants.

Coffee is good everywhere. I personally like Juan Valdez best. Free wifi, comfortable locations, light food available. Top-notch double espresso for 3 K, one dollar.

I tried several of the board recommended locations plus others:

La Mulata (centro): Now open for dinner also (I found it closed around 6 pm though). Lunch menu varies (Colombian and seafood), entrees around 20-25 K. Gets tourist traffic from the several hostels on the same street.

La Fonda Antioquena (Boca): Colombian fare. Mediocre, one of the least inspired bandeja paisas I've had (though I've eaten most of them in Medellin or Miami). 20-25 K per entree.

Carbon de Palo (Boca): Steak, pretty good, serves dinner past 10 pm. 30-45 K per entree.

Arepas Pues (Boca): Stuffed arepas and similar, serves late (midnight or more). 8-12 K per item.

Crepes Waffles (Plaza Bocagrande top floor): Their usual menu, about 10-25 K per entree?

** Other thoughts.

The tourist scene (especially gringos) seems quieter than usual.

The fare for taxi Bocagrande-Centro is 6 k and no more than 6 k.
I think they gather around Hampton because they found that around it there is people who is not aware of that.

NOWHERE IN THE WORLD a money changer could beat ATM (debit card, not credit card), except on the black market.

Arepas Pues is open 24 h, and it's therefore nearly the only place where people can go to eat with a girl from Space before going to the apartment.

Nonetheless, a freshly made Arepa Mixta is well worth the visit, and be sure to add some of the sauce prior to taking each bite, LOL.

Bocagrande is a large area (view boundaries via google). It stands to reason that the price varies depending on if you're at the end nearest El Centro or the end furthest (in other places, the meter would reflect this). Regardless, as I wrote, that's the price they were asking.

If you want to fight with some impoverished developing world taxi driver over 66 cents, go right ahead. Somebody's got to provide fresh fodder for "the Ugly American" stereotype.

I didn't say anything about beating the rate, I said it was "much better". As that phrase implies, the spread was greater than expected.

Also, my credit card (charging) gave me the same rate as the debit card (withdrawing). Actually better on the credit card once the ATM fee was factored in for the withdrawal.

Anyway my report is meant to be informational for mongers looking for fresh news, or visiting for the first time, or otherwise new to the city. Obviously people who've taken root in the dark corners of Bocagrande will already know what they need to know. Hopefully they contribute their intimate knowledge of the location rather than snipe about other reports.

Your report is informational, I did not argue that, and my comments were even more informational, aiming JUST at fixing some few details, to avoid that some newbie "visiting for the first time" could be misled.

1) Bocagrande-Centro is 6k. Period.
How many times did you visit Cartagena? It does not matter if Bocagrande is large or small. Don't lecture about taxi fares, since you have been there just once. No, it is not true that "the price varies depending on if you're at the end nearest El Centro or the end furthest". Yes, "in other places, the meter would reflect this", but not in Cartagena.
Now, once we know the fare is 6k, we are free to leave a tip (and I often do).
After midnight, they usually demand a surcharge (8k), which is probably not standard, but when one is with a girl, and the driver knows the guy is going to give her 200k or more, and he already spent 100k-200k on drinks, it is hard to be stingy.
The fact that taxi drivers around Hampton usually asked you more than 6k means that they know that the average tourist at Hampton is not aware of what are the regular fares. Nothing bad in that, but ISG is here on purpose to inform.

2) Again ATMs. It's surprising this topic comes back again and again.
Once more: yes, the exchange rate on a credit card is the same as on a debit card (not surprisingly: Maestro is the debit circuit of Mastercard). The difference is that, when one uses a credit card, he has to pay in addition 4% fee to the international credit circuit (Mastercard, Visa,...) which advances, that is loans, the money.
A bank can issue a credit card with some special conditions, but the international credit circuit (Mastercard, Visa) is the same and keeps its rules. So, no way to escape 4%. (easy to avoud this: just use the debit function of a card, avoiding the credit function).

I admit that I sampled Arepas Pues ONLY in the time interval 0am-6am. So I understood it was open 24 h. Also, when I walk in front of it at daytime I did not have the feeling it was closed. You made me curious.
I cannot believe it's open only 12h from 6pm to 6am. It would be a well strange business model.

By the way, there is another place good for arepas, almost in front. I don't remember the name, but it's venezolano.

The arepa mixta with the sauce is something to die for as Hilltopper pointed out. It is definitely my favorite fast food place in Cartagena.

It is definitely my favorite fast food place in Cartagena.I always propose my girls to stop at Arepas Pues before going to sleep (mostly after 4 am, because when I am in CTG I want to enjoy every hour of the nightlife).

This was in 2015, with 3 good girls at Arepas Pues at 5:30am looking forward to sleeping in my apartment (sorry I must hide the face, I hope nobody could recognize them). At that point, actually, it was not even clear who, how many and even for how much would have slept in my bed.
The decision came spontaneous after the arepas.

It's a good thing that non-hardcore girls often rent cheap apartments without aircon. This makes my apartment immediately attractive.

We ended up with one sleeping with me and the others in the living room till next morning 10 am. Of course, this was not the first time I met them (it's not a good idea to bring more than 1 girl to his apartment, if one does not fully trust them). It was also the beginning of a good friendship. We had 3somes but not 4somes. My last time in CTG I met again one of them and we keep in touch, even now that she stopped working.

PS: Note the different style of the chairs. When did they change?

It's time for me to contribute to this great community from which I learned so much. I just came back home from my 4 day trip to Cartagena and have a story to share which is probably going to be long. I rented thru AirBNB a nice condo next to the old city and planned to invite my favorite lady from Medellin which I met in the Mansion two months earlier. I told her that I pay airfare and 300 k for each day that she spends with me. I am not a guy who is looking for a girlfriend but I needed this for several reasons: a) to have a pussy available at any time, b) to practice my Spanish skills, c) to have a guide in Cartagena where I never been before, and finally d) to use her connections to pick up a girl once or twice for threesome.

As if expecting this, a few days before the trip, she texted me asking if I do not mind if she brings another chica - a very good friend of her. She sent me her pictures and assured that the chica is really good in bed and she is very excited to join both of us. We negotiated a bit on the money - I told her I am not going to pay double so we settled somewhere around 1. 5 in other words, "pay for one chica get another for half a price" .

The chicas arrived 5 hours after my flight so I had enough time to change money, to settle in the apartment and get some rest. Once they arrived we had a good threesome and went to the VIP Club which they wanted that night. I felt a bit weird appearing to be a sugar-daddy for two chicas around me but nobody seems to care much so the night was a blast. The girls were dancing thru the morning (I paid for their drinks but that was part of the deal) and we left the club by 7 in the morning.

Next day we wanted to go the Rosario Island but I made mistake I thought that if we go to the end of Lagito where a private boat can be rented we could get a good deal. Wrong. Instead, this was a place where you can find a bunch of crooked liars! First they wanted 600 k for a round trip. When we was about to leave the place, they quickly downed it to 300 k. But in reality they brought us to Blanco Playa which is much closer. My limited Spanish did not allow me to get the cheaters accountable so we spent the day at that beach. Our luck was that it was Monday so not many locals were there and the beach was actually not bad! To get back to Cartagena we decided to take taxi and it was another mistake it took as 2. 5 hours of sitting in the car because of horrible rush hour traffic. The girls took a nap at the back seat but I was restless watching awful driving manners of Cartagenians. That evening we went to Caribe Shopping mall to eat and watch a movie. Later we had another great fuck the girls were very thankful for me sponsoring their trip and provided the best service they can (at least this is what I think).

On the third day we went to Tu Candella and another club (I forgot) but ended up in VIP again because in our shared opinion this was the best club in Cartagena. I noticed a few good looking girls there but the number of good looking local guys were also significant so I am not sure that I would have a good chance to pick up a good girl there if I went there alone. By 4 am I was so tired that I told to my girls that I am going home and I expect them to get back in an hour or so. The girls promised but got back only next day by noon. They apparently went to Casa Benjamin to get some more drugs and stayed there for more time. To my credit, I expected that something like that eventually happens and immediately switched to my Plan be: I fired them and told to vacate my place by the evening. They apologized profusely but quickly found another place and left around 8 pm. I wasn't angry at all instead we separated with kisses and hugs and still are very good friends on Facebook. At the end of the day, I do not want to control their life they live this crazy high life for years paying for all goods with their pussies. I knew they eventually loosen up and quite frankly, by the third day, I myself already had enough of the same threesome and I wanted to spend my last day in Cartagena differently.

Around 3 pm of that day, I visited the Casa Rosario - what a shitty place! The manager wanted me to pay 200 k before even showing me any girls. When I refused, he started randomly pointing me at some ugly looking girls passing by and I was about to leave. Then suddenly, one of the girls, cute and young showed up and I decided to fuck her. She was around 7 not a stunner, but in that setting she was obviously winning a few points. I did not negotiate the money I paid the asking price to the manager but I decided to never go this place again. The rooms were filthy with almost non-existing AC. The sex was pretty good though but that was pretty much it. Did it happen to be my last sex in Cartagena, I would feel that my overall great experience got ruined at the end.

Fortunately, later that night, I went to the Torre de Reloj plaza around midnight and the place was busy - I easily counted more then a dozen girls (a few of them 7-8) so it proved what I heard about the place as a good place to pickup hookers.

I noticed an amazing 19 year old Maria a university student who were standing there right in the middle of the plaza, without any amigas. I was monitoring her for 10 minutes she was patiently waiting for a client but, unlike professional hookers, without glancing around and winking. When I finally approached her and introduced myself she smiled and says she wanted 200 k. Once in my place she got wet almost immediately as I start touching and kissing her and the fuck was so good that I asked her to stay overnight adding another 200 k. She was so passionate about sex which makes me to believe that she only recently came to this business to make some money to cover her tuition and living. This is one of those treasures that we got luck once in a while to discover. She has been texting me love messages for last three days so I am now thinking to take her to Cancun or at least to St. Andreas.

I love colombian chicas!

Hi,

I just realized I may be going to Cartagena in a month.

I've read about 10 pages and have some really dumb questions.

I'm in my 40's, have some mongering experience and I'm not too price sensitive:

1) who is Tony?

2) how safe is it to pick up girls in clubs and town squares? Any rip off / robbery concerns back in your hotel room?

3) any reputable escort agencies? Yeah I know the pics will be photoshopped a bit, the prices a little expensive too, but sometimes it's nice to be able to just dial up a hottie especially in the day time, without having to wonder around and / or risk rip offs.

4) I guess there are so many choices that I'm confused but is there a best 1-2 nightclubs for picking up pros? Again at these prices and only having 3-4 days there, I'm OK spending a bit more for hotties, especially if safe because then they can spend the night.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Black Page clear out the messages in your inbox.
Cleared thanks! 200 messages from the inbox and outbox cleared. There was some good info, but old anyway.

I would recommend Cuzco, comida peruana, 1 block from Calle Baloco (the one with Quebracho and La Vitrola).

I made a search of some old posts of mine and here it is a compilation of paragraphs, edited and rearranged.

My choices in Cartagena:

1) CUZCO, comida peruana.
Excellent ambience and food. Seafood but not only seafood. Elegant. Classy. Superb food.
About what you cannot eat: the receptionist is a stunning girl with legs to die for (just her costenho accent is too heavy).
Also, I did not notice any evident gringo-puta couple holding hands romantically at the table (way too many in Vitrola, Quebracho or Juan del Mar). (I exclude myself, obviously, because I am not a gringo ahah).
Last time I went there 3 nights in a row.

2) Santisimo. Good and elegant. San Diego.

3 For late dinner: Juan del Mar. San Diego.
Always the same menu year after year, boring, but it closes at 12 am, so it's often my only choice if I go out at 10 pm. What's annoying is the music, too loud and trivial, it even impedes conversating. The owner is very famous in Colombia (soap operas?) So you see ladies lined up for a selfie with him. He plays his role well, so he keeps his smile on face at all times.

4) For steaks: Carbon de Palo in Bocagrande if I am late, Quebracho in Centro if I want the best steak. I just don't like the music, too strong for my taste.

5) For ceviches and cocteles: avoid Bocagrande, go straight to kiosks outside the wall at the right of Reloy (facing it, Av. Venezuela).

6) For lunch: La Mulata in Centro, or a small restaurant on the beach at Laguito which I do not name it (because I like it keeps small and patronized only by locals! Let the gringos gather only at Riquisimo: P).

It's a nice long report, but I cannot refrain from noticing an amazing amount of mistakes you did (well, "mistakes" from my perspective, of course; take it as a friendly opinion).


planned to invite my favorite lady from Medellin which I met in the Mansion two months earlier. I told her that I pay airfare and 300 k for each day that she spends with me. I am not a guy who is looking for a girlfriend but I needed this for several reasons: a) to have a pussy available at any time, b) to practice my Spanish skills, c) to have a guide in Cartagena where I never been before, and finally d) to use her connections to pick up a girl once or twice for threesome.
That's the mother of all mistakes. Wrong strategy from beginning. Now you know, but come on, how could you think that was convenient??

A) and d) are particularly naif. If there is something which is not lacking in Cartagena is GIRLS! All shapes size and looks from 100 k (or less) to 300 k and much more for big spenders who do not care to spoil the market.

Even if you are in love with someone, don't take her to Cartagena, as you will be surrounded by other girls and you will regret to have no freedom.


As if expecting this, a few days before the trip, she texted me asking if I do not mind if she brings another chica - a very good friend of her. She sent me her pictures and assured that the chica is really good in bed and she is very excited to join both of us. We negotiated a bit on the money - I told her I am not going to pay double so we settled somewhere around 1. 5 in other words, "pay for one chica get another for half a price" .
OMG they were giving five each other. The found someone who was paying her trip to Cartagena, where they planned to go to work well before, but they were just thinking "should we go by bus to save money or by plane?" Et voila: the gringo pays.



Next day we wanted to go the Rosario Island but I made mistake I thought that if we go to the end of Lagito where a private boat can be rented we could get a good deal. Wrong. Instead, this was a place where you can find a bunch of crooked liars! First they wanted 600 k for a round trip. When we was about to leave the place, they quickly downed it to 300 k. But in reality they brought us to Blanco Playa which is much closer. My limited Spanish did not allow me to get the cheaters accountable so we spent the day at that beach.
I feel sympathy for you. That's one more proof, if ever needed, that Cartagena is an ocean of sharks waiting for food.


By 4 am I was so tired that I told to my girls that I am going home and I expect them to get back in an hour or so. The girls promised but got back only next day by noon. They apparently went to Casa Benjamin to get some more drugs and stayed there for more time.
OMG.

The situation is even worse that it looked at the beginning. Only VETERANS of Cartagena go to Casa Benjamin. Girls go there to take drugs. They even fuck for free with the Israelis, just because of the drug. When I hear that a girl goes / went to Casa Benjamin I find immediately an excuse to get rid of her.


To my credit, I expected that something like that eventually happens and immediately switched to my Plan be: I fired them and told to vacate my place by the evening. They apologized profusely but quickly found another place and left around 8 pm.
I wanted to spend my last day in Cartagena differently.
My intepretation of your story is that your girls used you to have the trip paid, returned the favor with some fuck (not a big deal for them), then just waited for the first opportunity to be free and start doing what they planned since the beginning: work and make money.


Fortunately, later that night, I went to the Torre de Reloj plaza around midnight and the place was busy - I easily counted more then a dozen girls (a few of them 7-8) so it proved what I heard about the place as a good place to pickup hookers.
I noticed an amazing 19 year old Maria a university student who were standing there right in the middle of the plaza, without any amigas.
Finally! At long last you learned. See how good Cartagena can be? Never plan in advance. Go and follow the wind.

EVery night a new surprise. Next time it will be a great trip for you!

But forget the idea to invite this girl to some other place.

Black Page, I have to admin, all your comments are accurate and right to the points. This was one of the reasons I posted my story - to hear good positive critiques from other fellas.
The girls definitely used me as a sponsor for their "business trip" to Cartagena. I kind of suspected and expected this their motivation but my calculation was that at the end I will "use" them more then they "use" me.

Interesting two additional details:
1. They even booked the returned ticket 5 days after mine. Which makes perfect sense as they needed more time to party and to make money.
2. On the second day, they went to Casa Benjamin to buy drugs when I was with them at Lagito. I waited in taxi for about 15 minute.

And you are absolutely right. One of the girls was a VETERAN. She can be seen partying in the Casa Benjamin all over the Facebook pictures and has tons of friends there.
As I mentioned, one of the reasons I planned my trip that way was that I wasn't familiar with Cartagena and wasn't sure what to expect especially on the first couple of days and especially because my trip was so short.
Now I know where and how to get the best girls there. I thought I needed to go to LDV but turned out that the Torre de Reloj has so many options (even on Tuesday) that I skipped LDV all together.
And you're right - if anything, Cartagena doesn't have shortage of girls of all shapes and colors.

Anyway, very good points, bro. Appreciate.

A word to the wise. Under no circumstances go to this place, and as Black Page pointed out, if you are with a girl who talks about going there, dump her immediately as she is no good.

It's a nice long report, but I cannot refrain from noticing an amazing amount of mistakes you did (well, "mistakes" from my perspective, of course; take it as a friendly opinion).

That's the mother of all mistakesYeah, and I call be bullshit on your post, Black Page, You have no business picking this guy's post apart and critiquing his actions. You weren't there, you didn't experience his good time, you aren't his supervisor, or court-appointed guardian. Chinzano had a good time, and posted a good report, whereas you have done neither.

Seriously, when was the last time you actually posted a trip report (and before you ask when I last posted a trip report, the answer is an hour ago)? No, I don't have the time or patience to read through your 1600+ posts and figure out if you have a genuine trip report to your name. But for such a prolific poster, couldn't you a least post a CURRENT trip report, documenting your perfect, by the book, experience as a monger in Cartegena? Humor us a bit, and share one of your very recent experiences in Colombia, so we don't know you are just some guy churning out posts in your mother's basement, when you aren't making sandwiches at Subway. Forums like these thrive on fresh information, not self-indulgent commentary. As I see it Chizano had a great time that would make a lot of people envious, and you did not. And I actually learned a bit from his report. Thanks, Chinzano.

You don't have to read 1600+ reports. Just go to the Report of Distinction thread. And there is a trick: try a search in a thread specifying the user name. You might learn something, and not about just Cartagena.

I think my first report from CTG was in 2007? I don't remember. So many. And contributions to the Lists. You were not even a member. Maybe still virgin.

Ah, my longest REPORTS (not comments) since 10 years ago are in the threads of Cartagena, Medellin, Bogota, Quito, Guayaquil, La Paz, Lima, San Salvador, Panama, Dhaka, Ghana, Uganda, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Indonesia, plus a number various others in other places which I forgot.

Do you have time to read? Go to the RoD of Indonesia and enjoy my stories from Batam. But I warn you it will take long time. They are collection of novelettes, more than reports.

P.S.: do you write with one or two hands?

And I actually learned a bit from his report. Thanks, Chinzano.I'm just curious how Black Page's response qualifies as "bullshit?" he wasn't insulting or unnecessarily harsh, he simply pointed out some useful things.

1. Why bring sand to the beach? That's between $100 and $400, just in airfare for the 2 girls, plus food and drinks. If he was planning to wife up with a girl for the whole stay, that's no problem, but paying for about 6 days to get 2 isn't necessarily a good choice. A better option (my opinion) is to hit up the social media and dating sites. Find a CTG girl who's willing and able to play tour guide, Spanish instructor, matchmaker and morning wood chopper.

2. It turns out his tour guide wasn't a good tour guide. For example, the Rosario Island mess.

3. he had a good time, but it could have been better. Only a lucky encounter salvaged it at the end.

4. It appears (my opinion again) he didn't learn anything from the trip. He sponsored 2 chicas who took advantage of his generosity and showed no respect to him (if I'm paying a chica or 2 to stay with me, when I go to the room, they go to the room, not out partying and earning extra money while I'm still paying them). After that, he's still friends with them.

Following up on that, the last girl he now wants to take to another city. If you find someone, somewhere that you want to repeat with, go back to where you found her. There's no way she's going to fuck you better in another city or country. Unless you're planning on marrying her, you don't have to try and impress her by flying her someplace else. There's some chica in Cancun just waiting to be impressed by your pesos.

Chinzano's report was good and helpful, but someone needs to point out the problems, before someone else makes a worse mistake.

It's time for me to contribute to this great community from which I learned so much. I just came back home from my 4 day trip to Cartagena and have a story to share which is probably going to be long. I rented thru AirBNB a nice condo next to the old city and planned to invite my favorite lady from Medellin which I met in the Mansion two months earlier. I told her that I pay airfare and 300 k for each day that she spends with me. I am not a guy who is looking for a girlfriend but I needed this for several reasons: a) to have a pussy available at any time, b) to practice my Spanish skills, c) to have a guide in Cartagena where I never been before, and finally d) to use her connections to pick up a girl once or twice for threesome.

As if expecting this, a few days before the trip, she texted me asking if I do not mind if she brings another chica - a very good friend of her. She sent me her pictures and assured that the chica is really good in bed and she is very excited to join both of us. Thanks for the report. Good to see someone report both the successes and failures.

What would really help everyone here if for you to identify the girl from the Mansion so someone else doesn't make the same mistakes with her.

Agree. I didn't find anything insulting in BP response.

On the expense side, I spent on these girls overall 2500-3000 k pesos which is quite a good money, I have to admit. Surely this is not my pocket money.
On the value side, I had two girls with me almost 72 hours, during which I fucked them 4-5 times. I also had no problems filling out my spare time - usual problem when I travel solo on mongering trips.
This time it was pretty much non-stop fun and I truly enjoyed it.
Overall, it was an experience I dreamed about for some time and I don't regret, of cause.
Do I want to repeat this again? Probably, not. It is really too hard to keep all moving parts under control.
Too much room for possible errors especially when deal with two foreign girls in a foreign country with limited language.



2. It turns out his tour guide wasn't a good tour guide. For example, the Rosario Island mess.

Yes, you make a valid point with Rosario Island. However there were a countless number of other situations where the girls were truly indispensable navigating me thru local geography, local customs, etc.
If I were there on my own, I would be constantly immersed in studying directions, and other logistics. They made my life easier on many fronts. Worth to mention that the girls were arguing with the boat owner with such a passion that I had to stop it at one point before it went ugly.
Don't forget that the girls were from Medellin and they mentioned to me that the Cartagena people are commonly non-trustworthy and cheaters, so I wouldn't blame them for being duped in this situation.
We were truly an easy target for these sharks as Black Page mentioned.

Disagree here. Let me explain. First, the chicas actually showed me a lot of respect: they were truly friendly to me, accommodative with my desires in many ways and did their best to entertain me, even in the clubs.
It just at some point of time, they failed to "report to duty" and were fired as a result. Please notice that I was paying them daily but retroactively, so on the morning when they did not show up, they had no pay and were told to vacate my place.
Lets understand that we cannot expect party girls in their 20's in a third country to adhere to the same high US business standards as we used to.
It is perfectly normal that they were carried away with the drinks, drugs and the party. We just need to be able to manage the risks and always have a plan B in case if something does not go as expected. I know the girls did not have intentions to cheat me. They just have some discipline issues and very powerful habits.

I see your point but disagree in details. Yes, I understand a pleasure of a short term fuck.
However, at times, when I feel right chemistry with a girl, I try to arrange a bit more elevated experience such as a dinner, or going to club or even taking a girl to a resort.
This way, (no guarantee of cause but very likely) I get from her a true GFE. Bareback sex, anal sex, etc.
And I am very selective about whom I am going to bring to resort. Cancun is not particular a mongering paradise so why not to lock myself for 96 hours with a hot 19 year old?
Are you saying this is a bad idea? Keep in mind that she never been there and probably it is her first trip abroad. Cancun for Colombian chicas is like Las Vegas or Paris. Very privileged experience.
My gut feeling is that she will be very eager to please me there for giving her that chance. Let's see. I am going there in two weeks so I will report when I get back.

My gut feeling is that she will be very eager to please me there for giving her that chance. Let's see. I am going there in two weeks so I will report when I get back.I understand up to a point. That degree of comfort with a familiar girl makes for a better experience. Especially one who's able to help overcome the language barriers.

But, when you're dealing with hard partying girls, you're taking a big, unnecessary risk, especially when they're out on their own for several hours. Too many possibilities for trouble.

If you're really looking for the total GFE, you should find another source. Casa girls and streetwalkers might give it to you, if the price is right, if they like your look, if they are in the right mood, etc. But it's not location dependent.

If you take the 19 year old to Cancun, she's already won. She doesn't have to work harder to impress you because you've already agreed to her price. It's actually better for her if she turns her performance down a notch. Why should she try to blow your mind 3 times a day when she gets paid the same for 1 time a day? You've already bought the tickets. Worst case she gets paid to take a short vacation.

There's rarely a shortage of mongering options in any tourist destination and there are plenty of (I don't like this term) semi-pros who will be happy to play girlfriend to a tourist willing to be generous.

Whatever works for you, if you're happy that's what matters. I just see things a different way.

You did what you wanted to do on your terms Chinzy. Having 19-21 year old girls show up consistently (more than one day) and fuck you consistently is a feat unto itself. I don't care what Country your in. There are just too many variables that can affect a young womans show up rate (parents, she lives with, drugs, boyfriends, period, etc etc etc) In this last trip took you took, you and Charlie Sheen now have something in common. Winning. I don't see anywhere in your report where you took any huge stupid risks- You even held back the money till they showed up. Sure you could of played.

It "Safer" but where's the fun in that? Half the fun of this game is not knowing what's going to happen and using your instincts and experience to limit risk and play it however you see fit. And that's what you did!

What would really help everyone here if for you to identify the girl from the Mansion so someone else doesn't make the same mistakes with her.Honestly, I would not post her name for public shame, for two reasons.

After all, she delivered what she was expected to deliver and made Mr. Chinzano happy. Nothing stolen or major trouble. The experience was disappointing to some extent, but it could not have been better IMHO (and I already elaborated enough on that).

Second, I think that it's a awful idea to invite to Cartagena ANY girl from Mansion, so there is no need to point everyone's attention in particular to one of them, as one to not invite. I don't think the experience could have been much better with anyone else.

I am not saying they are "bad girls", but they are "very well experienced", so to speak. Many of them probably went to work to Cartagena a few times already. Any pickup from the Plaza del Reloy or even LDV could give at worst a similar experience.

You couldn't step foot in the place if you wanted to, only Israelite's are allowed in.For those who don't know, Casa Benjamin is a holiday "hostel" for Israeli guys. If you can read Hebrew (or you can use Google Translate) you can also check their Facebook.

As Manizales911 reminded, no way you could book there if you don't come from Israel. Try to knock, and the door will remain closed. Sexy girls are the only non-Israeli people who are admitted, and not all girls. Imagine the criterion of selection.

They are paranoid for security, so they just built an external wall protecting the house itself (I guess against bombings). Videocamera pointed to the door, of course. Don't mess with them. They all come from the Israeli army and are well trained.

The other resort for Israreli in CTG was the (in) famous Casa Golan. Closed now, AFAIK, after the scandal of the video posted by some "journalist" depicting a drunk girl taken away from the casa (they hinted she was kind of "abducted", but actually she was simply high of drugs and they were taking her away to not have to much troubles inside).

More details on Casa Benjamin even in this thread, but posted months and years ago. Just make a search for posts including "Benjamin" (why not, also by "Black Page").

There are a hundred guys reading this that will be at the mansion in the next 6 months and probably 99 of them would prefer to know who this "very well experienced" chica is that parties at casa Benjamin in CTG and probably also casa Schlomi in MDE so they can avoid taking her at the Mansion.

Up to Chinzano to further help out the brothers here and provide her name.

Believe me, if she had ever crossed the "dishonesty" line, I would not hesitate to post her name and her picture all over the place.

She is turning 28 this year (BTW, her amiga was 22) and belongs to the category of "party girls" which makes her fun to deal with, but living "high" apparently takes toll on her.

She performs well in bed, friendly and smiley and have a good personality, 8-9 face, 6-7 body.

I guarantee you that you have nothing to worry if you come across her and hire for service in the Mansion.

One more detail I just recalled: when I had her in the Mansion initially for one hour (200 k) I liked her so much that after first session I extended my offer to the whole night for 300 k.

Then we went downstairs to the Cave bar for a few drinks in between sex. There she met her amigas and they probably smoked the "stuff" and around 1. 30 am she asked me if I do not mind to join them to night club.

I said, I am not interested but if she wants to go then No Problem as long as she returns the difference 100 k back. She returned the money without hesitation!

This is to illustrate how powerful the "party demons" possess her.

"doing the right thing" All I asked was Chinzano provide the name of the girl. I didn't ask for any unauthorized pictures or anything else. Just a simple name so in the future myself and others guys that aren't into the big party girls that frequent the Israeli casas can avoid her. Conversely there are some dudes that are big into the drug scene and this girl sounds like a good one to have for those guys. A simple request for a name, nothing more. This site is about sharing information on mongering, rather I should say it is supposed to be about that.

Thanks to Chinzano again for the original report, it had some info for those new to Cartagena and also provided an honest account of successes and mistakes made.

Same topic, but different prospective:
Girls who often visit Casa Benjamin eventually leave a huge digital footprint on the Facebook pages. Not only the Casa has its own FB page but you can see who shares posts, pictures and videos.
For those who want to know more about girls' background, I strongly recommend Facebook. When I was staying at the Mansion in February I befriended a few girls as well as a few fellow mongers.
Once I get back home, using just these 5-6 connections, I easily identified 30 other working and semi-working girls by simply reviewing their profiles, photos and friends.

IF A GIRL:
- regularly posts provocative pictures;.
- has a number of gringo looking friends;.
- does not have much presence of family members, etc.
THEN SEND HER a friend request. 90% chance she accepts you.

Then look into her friends and apply the same logic again.

FB also gives you a tremendous insight into personality of a girl: you can see where she spends her time, with whom she hanging out, how old is she, etc. You can even make judgement about her IQ and interests by following her posts / likes / shares.
Girls love FB and post their pictures generously there. Normally, they have no problem accepting friend request from gringos because these are potential clients. If, however, a girl rejects your friend request, it means that she is not interested in this business which is actually helpful to separate one type of girls from others.

99 percent of what you say is true. Especially face book stuff. I travel to Colombia many times each year. Once I got onto one face book ho I got many girls now who I am friends with. Now I can send pm 's to girls and they show rite up to my condo at whatever time I tell them.

In the debate over whether or not Chinzano should give out the name of his Mansion party girl, a few have come out on both sides. Here's why I think he's doing the right thing.

Most of the people who post on ISG are decent people. Overall, they treat people right and understand some of the unwritten rules of mongering. But, for every decent monger posting here, there are 20,30 or more, completely unknown people reading the posts.

You never know what people will do. I learned that after a former best friend tried to [CodeWord123] (http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123) my girlfriend, in my bed. He thought she was too drunk to notice, meaning I would never find out. Wrong.

Forget about the people who might use the knowledge to hurt the girl in some way. What about the guy who goes in and starts telling her about the review, adding in a few embellishments? What type of reception is Chinzano going to get at the Mansion after 5 guys have told her lies about his report?

Nothing good can come from spreading her name across ISG. If you can't spot the differences between a chica who parties constantly and one who doesn't, you probably should just give up, because it's not much harder to spot than a girl with a penis.

I arrived on the 16th and leaving tomorrow. Spent all but the last few days with family and doing the typical tourist things with my wife and her friends.

A few observations since I first starting coming to Cartagena thirteen years ago. First, the energy in Laquito is low, meaning it has more of a laid-back feel with families and full time residents. Very quiet this trip. I noticed a few working girls out attending to routine activities, but if approached, you could set up a meeting. Another observation is since the casino closed next to LDV, foot traffic and activity is at a much slower pace. I enjoy sitting outside of the club and speaking with the girls since it does not put pressure on me to buy drinks for the girls if you want to take them back to your apartment.

April is not as busy as other times of the year and perhaps that is why the energy level is down. I did see some attractive young ladies in the clock plaza, but average girls wanted 300 K for one hour. I took a girl outside of LDV for 250 K for three hours and I would rate her at least an 8. 5 out of 10. I enjoy the Clock Pub for drinks and average bar food, but the waitresses are some of the prettiest and friendly girls in the area. They speak good English and always have a smile for me.

I went to Rocio's one evening and was the only patron in the place and they had to knock on doors to get the girls to come out. I usually find a fun and cute girl here, but this time it was a dud. I was alone for about ten minutes before a handful of ladies came out. I picked a cute little blonde that I thought would be good. Asked for 200 K for thirty minutes and had many restrictions once we got into the room. She had very little oral skills and was just not attentive. I will go back, but if this happens again, I will start going elsewhere.

Last night I went to Angeles and found a 19 year old spinner with the nicest little body. She was not even 5 feet tall, but had a nice butt which I like. She told me she had a four year old daughter and she still had a few stretch marks. I had no problem since she performed well. She likes anal and is willing to come to the apartment later today.

Perhaps Cartagena is not new to me anymore and do not find it as much fun as in the past. Newbies can still have a good time though. Sorry for the short report, but nothing new going on here that has not been reported by others.

That was nice little report.

That's the problem when you go a lot it gets boring for both the writing and the to the reader. Because it's pretty much the same place different faces.

I am going in May and will try to report some new things.

But I always have a good time and meet some real nuts. Last time I was there a couple months ago I picked up a total 10 but a total nut when I got her home. Once the fun started after some partying she was biting the hell out of me. She actually bit me on the face to blood and I was like what the fuck. All she did was laugh total nut but fun. I am into freaky stuff but this ***** is crazy. I still talk to her but she is definitely nuts and totally hot. I think I will invite her over first night.


I arrived on the 16th and leaving tomorrow. Spent all but the last few days with family and doing the typical tourist things with my wife and her friends.

A few observations since I first starting coming to Cartagena thirteen years ago. First, the energy in Laquito is low, meaning it has more of a laid-back feel with families and full time residents. Very quiet this trip. I noticed a few working girls out attending to routine activities, but if approached, you could set up a meeting. Another observation is since the casino closed next to LDV, foot traffic and activity is at a much slower pace. I enjoy sitting outside of the club and speaking with the girls since it does not put pressure on me to buy drinks for the girls if you want to take them back to your apartment.

April is not as busy as other times of the year and perhaps that is why the energy level is down. I did see some attractive young ladies in the clock plaza, but average girls wanted 300 K for one hour. I took a girl outside of LDV for 250 K for three hours and I would rate her at least an 8. 5 out of 10. I enjoy the Clock Pub for drinks and average bar food, but the waitresses are some of the prettiest and friendly girls in the area. They speak good English and always have a smile for me.

I went to Rocio's one evening and was the only patron in the place and they had to knock on doors to get the girls to come out. I usually find a fun and cute girl here, but this time it was a dud. I was alone for about ten minutes before a handful of ladies came out. I picked a cute little blonde that I thought would be good. Asked for 200 K for thirty minutes and had many restrictions once we got into the room. She had very little oral skills and was just not attentive. I will go back, but if this happens again, I will start going elsewhere.

Heading back to Colombia 2nd week of May. I was there a month or so and went to beach pretty much everyday and never saw Tony. I was very happy! I sit with Faul who has chairs rite next to Tony never a problem. Anybody there in last couple weeks see Tony? I hope he's done and I never see him.

Thanks.

By the way I got a great price from Spirit. Total price wit carry on taxes included was 372.00 total. One of best prices I ever got!Total newbie with zero Spanish skills. LOL.

Traveling end of May to Cartagena. I was wondering if anyone knows about the Holiday Inn express Bocagrande. I have read the Hampton by Hilton is cool especially since the lobby is upstairs. However the rated at Holiday in are a little better. Will be in Cartagena for 2 days and then moving on to Medellin. Do they charge a fee, what's the deal? I speak fluent Spanish and will get along fine but looking for the path of least resistance here.

I usually frequent Panama, DR, and Buenos Aires but Colombia has been on My list for quite a while.

Thank you gents.

Hello all,

I will be arriving in Cartagena Saturday for a few days. I have read the posts, but I still had a few questions. Is it best to find girls on sites like mileroticos, or go to the clubs, and by clock tower. Also I will it be safe to bring my girlfriend to these clubs.

Which beaches do you recommend in Cartagena? Also any other pointers you guys may have. I am on the younger side, in my early 30's if that helps. I appreciate any advice that is given.

Hi guys,

Looking for advice as a new permanent resident in CTG.

I'm a veteran of Cali and Meds, and just accepted a job offer in CTG of which I've only spent several days prior.

LDV and clock tower seemed quiet and pricey during my visit, and I couldn't find any clubs or casas a la Meds or Cali.

I found more in neighboring Barranquilla and even Dubai Club in El Rodadero.

I don't want to put down CTG (I'm looking forward to living there! I think it's down to lack of groundwork. But insights are warmly welcomed.

Look forward to reporting in, and invite anyone who will be there from mid June for a beer.

Cheers.

Cheers.Nothing really to add. Cartagena is a very expensive city, double the cost for almost everything when compared to any other major city in Colombia which is one of the reasons I chose to move to the Santa Marta area, with the other fact being I am a beach bum, and the beaches right in Cartagena and Laguito are dirty and the ocean waters are very polluted with sewage.

Cheers.I have a friend who uses facebook to pay a better price in Cartagena. He usually gets the 18-22 year old girls with minimul experience for 80-120,000 and stays busy with some cuties. Not many "blancas" but especially with Barranquilla chicas some jewels. Sometimes hey stay for a few days, travel fares from Barranquilla and 70-100,000 a day.

Not my style but a definite financial advantage.

Beaches at Playa Blanca are really nice, crowded on weekends and holidays. You can drive there now, bridge from the mainland. Or a little better beach on the ferry just before the Hilton. Streetwalkes in BocaGrands and Laguito. Careful of the oldtimers, Claudias old crew.

I pass on most, like the University girls, some newbies, 150-200,000 and some VicSec. A little expensive but not as active in my golden years.

I have a layover of about 24 hours in Cartagena. It's been a long time since I've been there. Is there a stroll where I can pick up someone decent? A hotel for $50 - $75 not too far from the airport and action?

Not to digress, but I will be in San Andres with a companion for 4 days prior to my layover going home (I'll be alone after San Andres). Any recommendations for a SIM to buy in San Andres, like which carrier?

Was wondering if any of you can recommend a place in Cartagena that has a private pool or jacuzzi. Can be beach or old city. I've stayed at the Hampton inn and one of Juan's places, but this time I want something more private. Where I can have a girl or two laying around topless, playing. Etc. I really need only one bed since its me, but understand it may be a multiple room place.

Read this account from a forum (didn't happen to me). Be careful out there folks:

Backstory: I have been traveling Latin American for a continuous 8. 5 months now with no problems. I had already spent nearly 88 days in Colombia with zero violent incidents. The previous 13 days or so, I had passed in the south of Cali in an highly secure apartment in Ciudad Jardin. Cali was to be my last port of call in the country with 90 days in total before heading south into Ecuador over land. I was having a tough time in Cali up to this point, only doing day-game approaches with essentially zero lays (after several dates with some very sexy but flaky women). Spent almost 2 weeks in the south of the city doing strictly day game around the University del Valle area and Unicentro and some parts of the north around Centenario Mall, with only a sloppy BJ to show for it all. Which admittedly is still better than nothing.

That being said, I decided to ship in a young sexy 21 why / o Colombiana from Manizales (I had met about 5 weeks prior) for my last weekend in Colombia. I had a few lukewarm prospects for the weekend but decided on the sure things instead. She had been hitting me up lately with, "quiero verte antes de irte. " So I decided to go for the guaranteed lovin and bought her a bus ticket to Cali.

I met her at the Terminal de Transportes around 10 PM on a Friday night as her bus was actually on time. From here we grabbed a quick snack before making our way over to the taxi line. Take note this is the official taxi line. We did not hail a cab from the street which is generally not advisable in Colombia, even though I've done it several times without incident. There was a single dark-skinned Colombian guy (looked black) in front of us in the line with several other middle-class people with luggage behind us. Red flag #1, when it was time for the black guy to get a taxi, I noticed that the next available taxi actually waved off this black guy and pointed to us to come get in instead. The thought that crossed my mind was about a Chris Rock standup routine complaining how hard it is for a black person to get a taxi in NYC, but otherwise didn't think anything of it.

Red flag #2 - I was instructed to put my girls luggage in the front passenger seat. When I closed the door (a bit too firmly, apparently), the taxista started angrily complaining that I slammed it way too hard. He clearly seemed to be agitated for some reason. I apolgized and was like, "tranquilo, tranquilo. " Anyway, I gave him the address to my hotel and didn't think anything more of the situation.

Red flag #3 - about 2-3 minutes after leaving the terminal, the taxista pulled into a natural gas refueling station to fill up the tank. We were instructed to get out of the car while it was being refueled for our own safety. The taxista then disappeared for a few minutes and returned once the refueling was complete, probably 4-5 minutes later.

Ref flag #4 - we get back in the car and the guy is complaining about how expensive it cost to have to refuel his car (50,000 COP) and about how he has already been working 20 hours straight today. I was starting to now get uncomfortable at this guy's negativity but me and my girl just kinda brushed him off and thought it better to ignore him.

We slowly approach my hostel now and it is probably 10:45 PM. My hostel is located on Calle 5 across from the Library. It is quite dark, there isn't much traffic, but I didn't think anything further. The taxista approached my hostel very slowly as he appeared to be looking at the numbers to see where the hotel was. Eventually, I just said, "this is close enough, we will walk 3-4 buildings. Gracias. " We get out of the taxi, my girl gets our on the opposite side toward the driver's side / street and I get out on the opposite side on the sidewalk / passenger side. Pay the man 20 k and get about 9 k change. I have the change now in my left hand and my girl's wheeled suitcase in my right hand. Close the door gently, and the guy pulls away about 20 ft and stops.

As I turn to my right I see a guy on a motorcycle (engine quietly running) wearing all black clothing and immediately notice a semi-automatic pistol in his lap, full face helmet on his head. Immediately I knew we were fucked. Next thing I know I feel a cold hard metal object being repeatedly rammed into my right shoulder blade. I knew it was a gun (#2). I dropped the taxi fare change to the ground, and we both simultaneously put our hands up. Then, I slowly went for my iphone 4 in my left pocket and just held it up. It was snatched up immediately. I look out of the corner of my eye and I see my girl in a hysterical panic. The girl was now being approached by guy on motorbike #1, gun shoved in her face. The guy takes her huge purse and her wheeled suitcase, when a third guy on motorbike pulls up now and scoops up her suitcase. The guy then starts patting her down with one hand while holding her at gunpoint with the other. From here, I still have a gun in my back, and my guy tells me "Cartera, Cartera. " I reach into my right pocket and give him my moneyclip. From here, the guys slowly walk towards their waiting motorbikes while looking back over their shoulders at us.

Then, they just drive off, while occasionally looking back at us. I grab my girl and we immediately run into the front entrance of my hostel. The robbery is over, although she is absolutely hysterical and can barely breathe.

Overall damage: she lost what amounted to easily over $1200 USD in merchandise. For her, this is about a 3 month salary. Two smartphones, lots of nice clothing, her wallet, bank card, 30,000 pesos in cash, makeup, purse, etc. I lost about 150,000 pesos in cash, my travel bank card, my ID, and a beat-up iphone 4.

Lessons learned / advice from this experience:

(1) Whenever possible, always use easytaxi, uber, or a similar app when calling taxis in Colombia. This will ensure that you have the driver's information in the event shit hits the fan. I personally prefer using public transport when possible, but in a city like Cali this isn't really possible.

(2) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver stop en route to your destination. Taxi drivers are specifically prohibited from doing this during a taxi fare. Didn't know this at the time.

(3) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver be on his phone. People in Colombia are generally very wary / paranoid of a taxi driver on their phone because it is easy for them to tip off some waiting robbers.

(4) If your taxi driver seems agitated or in a negative mood at all whatsoever, get the fuck out of the cab and get a new one. There is no reason you should be dealing with a taxi driver with a bad attitude or bad mood.

Final thoughts.

It turns out we firmly believe that we were set up. The whole thing was planned. When we stopped to fill up the tank, we believe that the taxi driver called in the muscle during the time that he disappeared to use the bathroom. Next day, we filed a police report at the police station in the centro of Cali, then I went to the bus station and we watched the video of the registered taxi line. While at the police station telling our story, one of the clerks just shakes her head, let's out a sigh, and says, "Cali es Cali" (Cali is Cali). She seemed disappointed but completely unsurprised. Luckily, our taxi driver's vehicle was on video and we were able to get his plate number. That being said, it is highly unlikely that there will be any sort of justice done on our case. After talking with the police detective, we realized how swamped and understaffed their office seemed to be. We realize and understand that there will probably be no justice in this case, given how inefficient the justice system seems to be in this country. Lesson learned, and I hope at least one person can learn from this too.

Hello,

I am planning a trip to Cartagena and would appreciate additional details on the short-term love motels there. Love motels may be a better fit for my needs (it's a long story) than the chica-friendly apartments in El Laguito / Bocagrande that many users of this forum evidently prefer. It also seems like love motels are the preferred option of many Colombians, so I figure that there is virtue in doing it like the locals. I did some research on this thread, but some of my questions remain unanswered.

1) What if any love motels are there close to (ideally, within walking distance of) the two main mongering hubs, I. E. A) LDV and Playa Hollywood; and b) Centro and the Old City, such as the Clock Tower Plaza. I looked up the addresses of the short-term hotels listed on this thread, and most of them appear to be far away from those two areas, either out by the airport or deeper into the mainland part of the city. I also did some Google research on my own and reached the same conclusion, although I presume that there may be lower-end motels in those two areas that do not have a searchable online presence.

2) What are the rates of any of the love motels in those two areas, and what was the quality of their rooms? I don't need them to be fancy, and in fact I would rather not spend a lot on fancy amenities and decoration that does not matter to me. I just need them to be comfortable enough, with a clean bed, a bathroom, and air conditioning.

3) Do love motels require identification? If so, do they require you to show your actual passport, or will they also accept either a photocopy of your passport or your actual local state or city government-issued ID? I ask because I do not want to carry my passport around with me when I am out picking up chicas, for security reasons, but I can carry around my local government-issued ID, if need be.

It also seems like love motels are the preferred option of many Colombians, so I figure that there is virtue in doing it like the locals. I did some research on this thread, but some of my questions remain unanswered..Locals live locally. Do you expect them to rent an apartment? Or bring girls at home? Of course they go to love motels.

Many of my posts in the pasts give an answer to your questions below. Search better. And there is the List.

My advice: rent an apartment. Try La Jaiva. You'll love it. And you'll also go back to your apartment for better fun (parties, long nights, etc).

La Jaiba is at Crespo, near the airport, which means 15 mins and 15 k-20 k COP taxi. Nothing compared to the 150 k-200 k-300 k you will give to the girl. Other 2 motesl near it, but see my old posts and the List for details.

Cheap hotels (not motels) in Centro. But best of CTG is not a quick cheap fuc.

2) RTFF. Yes. Search my old posts and the List. Not only my posts, of course. Plenty of posts.

3) NEVER bring a passport with you when you are abroad. Bring a photocopy (I never had a problem in half SouthAmerica, Africa, Asia.).

I did get the impression from my prior research on the love motels on the List in question that most of them were further out into the city, but it is helpful to hear more specifically that such establishments are generally not available in Centro. Can you or anyone else confirm the absence or presence of love motels around LDV or Playa Hollywood?

When I did my initial research before my post, I saw in your old posts a reference to an establishment in Centro whose name was unclear, perhaps because of name changes. Sol de Indias, or Sol why Mar. Is its current name Hotel Sol del Mar? The place that I found is at 69 Piso 2, Cra. 7 #34. From the description and context in your old post (s), it sounded to me like this establishment could be a love motel. Hence my interest in learning about the availability of such establishments in Centro. I found Hotel Sol del Mar on non-mongering travel websites, and it looks like a regular hotel at first glance. However, some photos and travelers' reviews of the hotel portrayed a room that looked and sounded more like that of a love motel. So what is it? A regular hotel with some love motel capacity? Is it also chica-friendly for regular guests?

It's both. Last November I stayed there and asked for a room facing the street. I think that it cost around $25 USD but they do add on a joiner fee. They have two rooms facing the street with small verandas. After a certain evening time, the road is closed for vehicle traffic and the only thing you hear is the occasional pedestrian and the clip-clop of horse carriages. Quite romantic actually. LOL. They also have several rooms in back area without windows.

It's only a matter of time before that place is converted into a legit bnb though they do have some issues with the size of the rooms and the lack of windows in the back so perhaps it may be around for a while. However, it's really the only decent place to stay in the El Centro for rock bottom prices plus it's within a minute walk to the ClockTower. Sometimes, I see unsuspecting tourists there too though guess they figure it out eventually. Also, The rooms are quite tiny.

I did get the impression from my prior research on the love motels on the List in question that most of them were further out into the city, but it is helpful to hear more specifically that such establishments are generally not available in Centro. Can you or anyone else confirm the absence or presence of love motels around LDV or Playa Hollywood?

When I did my initial research before my post, I saw in your old posts a reference to an establishment in Centro whose name was unclear, perhaps because of name changes. Sol de Indias, or Sol why Mar. Is its current name Hotel Sol del Mar? The place that I found is at 69 Piso 2, Cra. 7 #34. From the description and context in your old post (s), it sounded to me like this establishment could be a love motel. Hence my interest in learning about the availability of such establishments in Centro. I found Hotel Sol del Mar on non-mongering travel websites, and it looks like a regular hotel at first glance. However, some photos and travelers' reviews of the hotel portrayed a room that looked and sounded more like that of a love motel. So what is it? A regular hotel with some love motel capacity? Is it also chica-friendly for regular guests?

Hello,

I am planning a trip to Cartagena and would appreciate additional details on the short-term love motels there. Love motels may be a better fit for my needs (it's a long story) than the chica-friendly apartments in El Laguito / Bocagrande that many users of this forum evidently prefer. It also seems like love motels are the preferred option of many Colombians, so I figure that there is virtue in doing it like the locals. I did some research on this thread, but some of my questions remain unanswered.

1) What if any love motels are there close to (ideally, within walking distance of) the two main mongering hubs, I. E. A) LDV and Playa Hollywood; and b) Centro and the Old City, such as the Clock Tower Plaza. I looked up the addresses of the short-term hotels listed on this thread, and most of them appear to be far away from those two areas, either out by the airport or deeper into the mainland part of the city. I also did some Google research on my own and reached the same conclusion, although I presume that there may be lower-end motels in those two areas that do not have a searchable online presence.

2) What are the rates of any of the love motels in those two areas, and what was the quality of their rooms? I don't need them to be fancy, and in fact I would rather not spend a lot on fancy amenities and decoration that does not matter to me. I just need them to be comfortable enough, with a clean bed, a bathroom, and air conditioning.

3) Do love motels require identification? If so, do they require you to show your actual passport, or will they also accept either a photocopy of your passport or your actual local state or city government-issued ID? I ask because I do not want to carry my passport around with me when I am out picking up chicas, for security reasons, but I can carry around my local government-issued ID, if need be.Go to the "Cartagena Lists" thread and on the most recent page you will find a list of the Love Motels in a post by WorldTravel69. Las Dunas, which is probably the highest cost love motel, was 45 mil pesos for the first two hours as recently as earlier this month. I wouldn't call a 10-minute taxi ride at a cost of 10 mil pesos or under as being far or expensive. Las Dunas and the other two I've used were all setup so that your taxi drives into a gated compound, pulls into a garage connected to a room and you and your girl then get out and walk directly into your room. You aren't asked for IDs, nor to pay in advance. It's very private and secure. The ones I've used have all had air, mirrors, shower, bathroom, TV, music, mini bar, etc. Rooms at Las Dunas also have a sex chair.

I repeat: Cheap (love) hotels, not (love) motels in Centro..

Motel = Motor hotel, that is a hotel which you access by car.

Listen to Hilltopper! Las Dunas is the best MOTEL (not a hotel). La Jaiva is second, but a very good one anyway. Also La Jaiva has love chairs etc. Try once. You'll love it. But rent an apartment. It's the best or only thing to do in CTG. (if you want to elaborate further on what a LOVE MOTEL can be in Colombia, make a search in the Medellin thread for my posts about motels. A couple are titled "Chimba de hotel" or something. Yes, I wrote hotel but it's a motel). In Medellin you really see how seriouos are Colombians when it goes to have sex in a motel.

Sol del Mar yes, that't it. It's the place to go for a cheap quickie at one block from the Reloy. Tomasb explained. (yes, it's a HOTEL, not a MOTEL).
You asked: "A regular hotel with some love motel capacity? " NO, there is a steep stair to get the entrance from the street. You can't make it with a car, not even a dune buggy LOL

It's both. Last November I stayed there and asked for a room facing the street. I think that it cost around $25 USD but they do add on a joiner fee. They have two rooms facing the street with small verandas. After a certain evening time, the road is closed for vehicle traffic and the only thing you hear is the occasional pedestrian and the clip-clop of horse carriages. Quite romantic actually. LOL. They also have several rooms in back area without windows.

It's only a matter of time before that place is converted into a legit bnb though they do have some issues with the size of the rooms and the lack of windows in the back so perhaps it may be around for a while. However, it's really the only decent place to stay in the El Centro for rock bottom prices plus it's within a minute walk to the ClockTower. Sometimes, I see unsuspecting tourists there too though guess they figure it out eventually. Also, The rooms are quite tiny.Thank you for the clarification. So they rent rooms on both a nightly and an hourly basis? I might just stay there as a regular nightly guest and pay the chica / joiner fee, if it is reasonable. Speaking of which, how much is the chica / joiner fee?

Do the rooms there have their own digital safes, by any chance?

I tried contacting Hotel Sol del Mar and have not heard back from them. They did not answer my email and did not answer the phone when I called them twice. Their rooms are listed on mainstream travel booking websites, but I want to contact them first, and it may not be a good sign if they do not answer their phone or their email.

Read this account from a forum (didn't happen to me). Be careful out there folks:

Backstory: I have been traveling Latin American for a continuous 8. 5 months now with no problems. I had already spent nearly 88 days in Colombia with zero violent incidents. The previous 13 days or so, I had passed in the south of Cali in an highly secure apartment in Ciudad Jardin. Cali was to be my last port of call in the country with 90 days in total before heading south into Ecuador over land. I was having a tough time in Cali up to this point, only doing day-game approaches with essentially zero lays (after several dates with some very sexy but flaky women). Spent almost 2 weeks in the south of the city doing strictly day game around the University del Valle area and Unicentro and some parts of the north around Centenario Mall, with only a sloppy BJ to show for it all. Which admittedly is still better than nothing.Congratulations on cool thinking- if you were going to be robbed you did it the "right way ". Dropped your change. Pulled out the phone / wallet- whatever they asked for. Without the slightest hesitation or 2nd thought instead of being like the other you read about here who try to play super hero and lose their life. There were some good lessons there for sure that you pointed out. As they say in South America- "Head on A Swivel".

It looks like you persist in your mistake. You will regret not having listened to the advice of senior people.

Sol del Mar is really a ugly place to stay for vacations. You can go there for an hour if you want a quickie, but I really cannot imagine someone enjoying holidays there. The very basic fact that they don't reply your email is indicative. Don't persist.

It's right there are not many decent places to stay for 25USD/night, as Tomasb says, but if one is on a tight budget then he should not go to Cartagena, which is the most expensive place in Colombia. "Vorrei ma non posso"? I've seen two Italians at Babar sharing ONE DRINK, probably to save money, and watching me dancing with my two sweet girls all the time. I don't repeat the comments of my girls.

And also for a short time experience, make yourself a favor and go to La Jaiba.

Something priceless you will not get in many other places of the world is taking a good girl somewhere (also Reloy), or even two as I did a few times, spend 2-3-4 hours dancing and drinking at clubs as a king with your girlfriend(s) (budget: 100k-150k just for drinks, as 1 drink is 20k-25k), then go back for a private party at your apartment, then sleep with the candy/candies in your arms. Not all girls are suitable for this, but experience and good luck are instrumental to identify the right girl(s) among so many soulless sharks and yield an experience that in Europe and especially in Italy is IMPOSSIBLE. Trust me.

After spending some time at an apartment on Calle Moneda in CTG, I went to Santa Marta for a few days. As I needed a room for a few nights in CTG before my return flight, I went to the front desk directly and booked a room, specifically requesting a room in front.

The front desk guy seemed a little bemused by my res request but nevertheless it served my purposes for a few days. I don't think I would advise staying longer. As Black Page said, it's not exactly a vacation stay kind of place. I don't remember the joiner price but maybe it was between $10 to $15.

Yes, you will find that most of the girls pick that place for short time place though it's frequently full. There is a rat whole of a hotel up that street called the Tropicana. You know you have hit rock bottom when you take a girl there.

Can anyone recommend a trusted and reliable source of chica-friendly apartment rentals in the Old City / Centro of Cartagena? I asked Juan Ventura, pursuant to the recommendations of many members of this forum, and he indicated that his chica-friendly rentals were only in the Bocagrande / El Laquito end of Cartagena.

I prefer to stay in the Old City / Centro because it will be closer to a wider range of the many things that I want to do there (including both mainstream tourism and mongering) and because it sounds like it has a more interesting or appealing environment. As far as I can tell from what I have read so far (and please correct me if I am wrong), the only major advantage of Bocagrande / El Laquito is proximity to Playa Hollywood and La Dolce Vita.

Sorry to insist, but leave ASIDE all your preconceived ideas and do as others do and recommend here. You won't regret that. I followed all your path years ago:
1) For several years, I stayed in a cozy hotel in El Centro, for the same reasons you mention, and went to short-time hotels and motels for the deed, closing my ears when senior members here were recommending me to rent an apt;.
2) I tried once to rent the apt in Bocagrande, winning my preconceived preference for staying in a hotel;.
3) I opened my eyes and I never went back to my hotel in El Centro San Diego.
Now, I have "my" apartment in Bocagrande, and I feel like a king, paying roughly the same amount per night as in the 3* hotel in San Diego.

In short, this is what I recommend you:
- Take your apartment in Bocagrande. Choose a good one with sleeping room, living room, possibly balcon and other ameninities;.
- Take a taxi to spend your night in Centro, or just for a stroll or a coffee. Plenty of taxi 24/24. 6 k standard fare to Centro and 6 k back. Avoid LDV (not worth, but this is MY opinion) for the night. Just go to Centro. Girls will love to go to Bocagrande to your apartment. Best restaurants and bars in El Centro. Bocagrande is very touristic and beaches suck, but it's there where there are all best apartments.

I have been to Cartagena more than 10 times and have also stayed in the old city, stayed in Bocagrande, tried all different approaches and in the end do exactly what black page has recommended to you several times.

To answer one of your earlier questions about love hotels, I don't recall the name but I was in Cartagena about a month ago and didn't want to take a clock tower chica back to the Hilton in Laguito because I had a novia from Bogota arriving early the next morning and the clock tower chica took me to a short term hotel about a 5 minute walk. Cost was 16,000 cop for an hour, had horrible a / see, but was decently clean, hard bed, small bathroom and did NOT require any identification from either of us.

Stopped in Cartagena a few times during June -July. Here are some observations:

Decent selection of talent; increase of girls from Venezuela which has helped buyers' side of equation; Aldo's lare-night spot, Opera has closed; Space going strong at 4 am, but many of girls have an edgy temperament if you get my drift; VIP Club, which is now the name of the three-level bar a couple doors down from Tu Candela, had a nice mixture of couples, tourists and working girls at 11 pm To 1 am the night I was there; there were lots of decent looking girls outside in the large area facing Tu Candela / VIP Club (clock tower) at night; LDV numbers down considerably from its peak, but worth stopping-in as there were a few takes; Playa Hollywood kind of hit and miss, but still worth scouting late afternoon and sometimes even early morning; still a few chicas strolling Laguito and San Martin in Bocagrande starting dusk or so.

How is Evissa? That was my favorite club last time I went to CTG (March), at roof top at the left of Reloy Plaza, watching the tower. The best for music and ambience, but not for finding girls, rather to bring them there.

Aldo. So sad. What's wrong with him now? His Elektra for many years was the best in town, the place to go after 3 am. In March, Opera was always empty, while Space was full. I agree with your feeling about girls in Space. But being it so crowded, one can always find someone interesting.

This will be my first trip to Cartagena and I am committed to staying at the Intercontinental Cartagena de Indias Hotel which looks to be in Bocagrande. I presume it is not chica friendly.

When I was in Bogota I managed to visit a few houses and had good experiences there that I have reported on.

After reading the posts, I still feel uncertain about the best options in Cartagena, for some fun in the daytime / late afternoon. I also feel a little leary about taxis after reading the TaxiRobbery account, though it sounds like Uber in Cartagena may be okay.

Ideally, I would safely walk from my hotel to a place with the chicas, but I am guessing that is not possible given the location I'll be staying at. Given that the place is likely not chica friendly, I presume, I can't just arrange for a girl to come to my room.

As you can tell, I am little nervous about safety-related issues, though I didn't have any trouble walking around in Bogota. Would appreciate advice. Thanks.

As they don't use meters, just quote you a price, I recommend you asking the hotel staff what they estimate it would cost to go somewhere?

Can't answer for Uber. Never used Uber.

Hotel wise I stay at the Hilton properties, and I am a high Diamond member.

Regarding the Intercontinental, I always book a room for (2). It would help your game if you have some hotel status?

I would ask the front desk about a walk in guest policy? And make sure the chica has her ID (cedula) on hand!

Good luck. Have a great time. Hope you can stand the heat and the humity.

None of taxis have or use meters. You are charged a flat rate. Your priority is finding what the going rate should be?

Can't answer for Uber. I have never used Uber.

My hotel chain of choice is Hilton. But I recommend you always book a room for (2). It also helps if you got some hotel status.

Plenty of reports clearly indicate all options here. There is EVEN A MAP! What are the best for you? Try and choose.


I also feel a little leary about taxis after reading the TaxiRobbery account, though it sounds like Uber in Cartagena may be okay.Forget all that. All taxies in CTG are safe, as in Bogota too. This does not exclude that one could be once robbered, but the same principle applies also when you fly and you do it even if you read that some plane crashed.

.Forget walking from Bocagrande to Centro. It's half an hour with 33°C and 95% humidity day time. By taxi, it's 6 k each way. How many times did we write this already? Last time few posts ago? You pick taxi from the street 24/24. Just be aware of fares in advance, to be not overcharged (again, RTFF).

RTFF RTFF.

P.S.: Bogota is 100 times less safe than CTG.

I've been in Carta from Thursday to Sunday July 14th -17th for bachelor party. My reviews are mixed. I'll be honest this isn't my favorite city. We have bounced around all the club's around the clock tower, I don't know which club is which. We rented a three story house with 2 pools in the walled city so most of the time we grabbed girls we liked and brought them back to party at our place. They ranged from 150 k to 400 k. I only paid 150 k thanks to the board telling what the real rates are, but My friends don't speak Spanish and the chicas people saw our house and figured we had millions so they asked for more. I couldn't babysit everyone.

Flight was only $340 round trip from fort Lauderdale.

Now to the negatives. This city is way too hot. The air just sits inside the city all day no breeze. I am born and raised in south Florida so I'm used to heat and humidity but this is something else.

Then you have to deal with the hustlers. Holy smokes it never ends. They are relentless on every corner. I'd put this place ahead of Nassau and Jamaica as far as people trying to sell you everything and anything. Who told these guys that Americans want to smoke cigars in 95 degree heat? That's the last thing on earth I want. Anyway.

Having been to both Panama and Costa Rica I'd rank Carta last. Give me Jaco beach in costa or the Veneto in Panama any day of the week. Walk down stairs and the woman are waiting for you.

To each their own but I won't be coming back here. I am glad I did it of course but there are better places in central / south America in my opinion. Maybe I will have more positive vibes when I look back in the future as opposed to writing this burned out on the last night of my trip.

That's the last thing on earth I want. Anyway.Yep, that was my opinion also. CTG is overrated and will never be a major tourist destination because nearby destinations in the Caribbean that are closer to the US have better beaches, weather, and the touts are not a constant harassment. Also, it looks to me the airport is built in an area that makes it difficult to expand, there's not much infrastructure for more flights, most of the tourism is internal.

If you can weather the negative factors (forgive the pun) I suppose it's a good thing for CTG fans that the destination will never reach critical mass. In fact, I suspect that it's precisely the touts especially, but also the weather, prevent a lot of 2nd visits from US citizens and other countries.

While many Colombians might still consider CTG to be the prime tourist attraction of the country, they might be sadly misinformed if they consider it a great choice for a beach or tropical vacation; better to go to Santa Marta or perhaps further up north in the Guajira region (not much for mongers up there though). Colombians with some money can fly to San Andres island I suppose, although there's no monger scene there either. Rich Colombians with passports have the full set of options obviously; Miami and Orlando are the obvious popular choices that most Colombians dream of going to rich or no.

CTG weather can be just awful during certain months of the year; the heat can be stifling even in the nighttime unless you're right by the sea. I took a Bogotana with me to CTG one time and one particularly hot afternoon, I thought this chica was going to suffer a heat stroke! Folks here complain about the heat in Cali, but I find Cali to be much better weather-wise with its famous cooling breezes at night, something you will be surprised is not so often found in CTG. Some nights it was almost impossible to have a romantic stroll through the streets of the old city with your chica because of the stifling heat.

There are certain sectors in Bocagrande where the hustlers are not so bad but in many areas in the old city, it's almost like a gauntlet you have to get through. It's one of the curses of looking like an obvious gringo tourist. I just keep mumbling no gracias with no eye contact, and I never slow down (or speed up!) Any change in direction, pace, or eye contact just gets them to try harder almost by instinct. Wear dark sunglasses and never be distracted by any hawking of wares.

Aldo's spot wasn't getting as many girls because he was more selective of which ones could enter and then more strict with rules for them. When he had Electra, there wasn't another viable option for the girls. Paying customers (guys) followed where there were more girls, which has been Space. Many of the girls in Space, Aldo would not let in his place. I understand why he was selective, but the 4 am crowd wasn't as discerning. It is what it is.

Thanks.I haven't stayed at the Intercontinental Cartagena, but I imagine they will want you to indicate 2 adults on your reservation before arrival and then register your 2nd guest when there. So you book a room for two people, and if you hit it off with a particulsr girl , you will want to present her at the front desk as your registered guest for your stay. They'll get her information from you, make a copy of her ID, and have her sign off on the room as well. As long as you aren't looking to change girlfriends, doubtful you'll run into much problem unless she's a problem type of girl, LOL. She's your girlfriend, you're basically representing that you know her and vouch for her.

If you're looking to bring a different girl as your registered guest to your room everyday, you can probably expect to run into a problem with registering a different girl. You could just walk straight for the elevators with your new girl in hopes that no one says anything. If it's a busy time during the day, better chance. That being said, I'd recommend just using a love motel for girls you have just met, and then if you hit it off with one particular girl and want to wifey up, then register her as the 2nd guest in the room at the hotel, and have her hangout with you at the pool, stay overnight, GFE, etc.

Assuming that you will only be in the tourist zones and other safe zones, you don't need to be nervous. You will spend most of your time in Bocagrande, el Centro, el Laguito, Castillogrande and Getsemani, and possibly some time in Crespo, Manga, Marbella, Canapote and Daniel Lemaitre depending on whether you use love motels, go to certain restaurants, etc. If you want to visit local casas, then you will be going to other neighborhoods that can be a little sketchy and you will just taxi to front door and then directly taxi out. For a first time visit, my suggestion is to stick with the freelancers in the first few zones mentionred, unless you are with a trusted fellow member or trusted local.

While a few taxistas will inflate the fare by a mil peso or two, safety travelling to, from and within the zones mentioned should not be a worry. I've always just flagged down a yellow taxi off the street while in any of those zones in Cartagena. The fares are published annually by the mayor's office. There's a night premium of 500 pesos starting at 9 pm, but they'll just round it up a mil peso instead. So the set 6 mil peso fare from Bocagrande to el Centro becomes 7 mil. There is a premium on all fares to and from the airport. The current fare between the airport and Bocagrande is 17 mil. The white taxis that you will see at your hotel will be more; you decide if you want to use them and pay a premium. I've never used Uber, nor EasyTaxi in Cartagena, as I've never found it necessary, but you can if you want.

Taxi fare: Bocagrande to and from Manga, or Crespo, or Marbella, or Canapote, or Daniel Lemaitre is 9 mil pesos, and then add a mil peso for 9 pm and after. Want to know more? Keyword search on "tarifas taxis mayor cartagena 2016" and you'll find a pdf of the published fares from March of this year. The Mayor's office annually publishes the fares for each year. No, I don't take it with me, but I do scan through it once a year to note any increase from the prior year.

Walking. From where you are staying, LDV in el Laguito will be an easy walk as well as Playa Hollywood. If you want to go to LDV, go after 11 pm and before 2 am and give yourself 45 minutes or so to see what girls come and go. For Playa Hollywood, generally in the past the freelancers were more apt to be there from 3 pm to 5 pm. Some streetwalkers can be found strolling along San Martin Av in Bocagrande from Hotel Caribe to Hampton Inn from 6 pm - 10 pm. Your hotel is in very close proximity to the San Martin Av strolling area.

Go to the top floor of the VIP club around 10 pm and grab a table. The unattached girls will be coming in shortly. They'll move down a couple of floors to the electronic music a couple or so hours later. Nothing strike your fancy, go back outside and grab a seat on a bench and scout all the girls walking around. Approach as you so choose. Still nothing? Grab a 7 mil taxi outside wall in front of tower and head to LDV before 2 am. Nothing? Then 7 mil fare back to el Centro to check out Space around 3:30 am.

For Love motels to take these girls to, go look at the list put together by WorldTravel69 on the Cartagena List thread. I typically go to Las Dunas, but I can vouch for the other two that are nearby and in same general vicinity as well.

This will be my first trip to Cartagena and I am committed to staying at the Intercontinental Cartagena de Indias Hotel which looks to be in Bocagrande. I presume it is not chica friendly.

When I was in Bogota I managed to visit a few houses and had good experiences there that I have reported on.

After reading the posts, I still feel uncertain about the best options in Cartagena, for some fun in the daytime / late afternoon. I also feel a little leary about taxis after reading the TaxiRobbery account, though it sounds like Uber in Cartagena may be okay.

Ideally, I would safely walk from my hotel to a place with the chicas, but I am guessing that is not possible given the location I'll be staying at. Given that the place is likely not chica friendly, I presume, I can't just arrange for a girl to come to my room.

As you can tell, I am little nervous about safety-related issues, though I didn't have any trouble walking around in Bogota. Would appreciate advice. Thanks.Since you specifically mentioned daytime / late afternoon action, maybe your schedule dictates that your encounters are strictly limited to a few hours in the afternoon each day. If that's your case, you should befriend someone there on the ground who knows a lot of freelancers. Could be a fellow member who lives in Cartagena or frequents there regularly, or connect with a local. Absent that, go to Playa Hollywood and ask for Fao. Rent a beach chair and tent from Fao. Do not be coaxed into renting from anyone else on this first visit. Just decline, and keep asking for Fao. Tell Fao to get a beer for the two of you and then chat him up snd befriend him. Given that your time is limited and you don't have a contact list of amigas in Cartagena, you'll benefit from befriending Fao, Emily and Jayson and asking them to assist you in your search.

Scratcth their back, they'll scratch yours. What is scratching? Use their services. Fao rents carpas, chairs, etc. And runs a tab for you to have beers / drinks brought directly to you. Emily is the best massage therapist on the beach and also does pedicures and manicures right there for you as you lounge. Jayson hustles and will try to help you find things and get you what you want without you having to leave your beach chair. Are you a guy short on time and whose time is money? If yes, then you won't mind paying for the convenience of having people do the leg work for you and have things brought to you. Relax, have fun and remember to ask how much and negotiate for everything. Be firm, but likeable and in good spirit in your negotiations and don't take offenseI

If you have ample time, or more time than money, then do all your own daytime scouting in the heat and humidiy of Cartagena; don't utter a word to a local guy, don't get a carpa or chair, and just go it solo making eye contact and striking up conversations with chicas as you make your way walking the beach and sidewalks. Be like the guys seen breaking into a trot when a tout approaches them, lol. Beach scene isn't you? Befriend someone who knows the local casas.

To many, the appeal of Cartagena is the influx of freelancers from elsewhere who are in town for a come up and the all night party scene.

Since you specifically mentioned daytime / late afternoon action...I second all that!

I add just one more note: if you have the time to go out at night, no matter what time, go to Reloy Tower. That's where all freelancers gather (but not daytime). Even if you have no time to play at night, you can still talk around and take phone numbers of the girls that seem more reliable to you. 6th sense here rules!

Are you busy at night with work colleagues? Go to dinner with them, wait everyone leaves to go sleep, wait 15 more minutes, then go out and grab a taxi to go to the Reloy. There are opportunities until 4 am.

There is one more opportunity which is seldom mentioned: the Club Europa, near Getsemani, which is open 24/24. In the morning or at non-standard times it may be an opportunity to consider.

One of the things to do in Cartagena is a day trip to Islas del Rosario. However, the boat never leave too early and due to rough seas begins return journey soon after 16:00. Also a usual procedure is to pass by and drop merchandise etc. At Playa Blanca. The passengers sit and wait. When one finally arrives, usually at Isla Grande (with different villages, many of them called Isla something as if they were different islands of the archipelago of 27.), the time left over is rather limited.

On my last trip I spoke to people that seemed to have arrived much earlier and they told me they came straight to the island as the trip was organized by their hotel. Forgot the name but I'm sure more than one offers the activity. Now I think it's at least worth asking if one could pay and go with them on this the and thus save time.

So my question is has anyone been on a boat trip organized by a hotel and which hotel was that?

No gracias is good but I prefer "no tengo dinero" then they run away I am serious. It works.


Yep, that was my opinion also. CTG is overrated and will never be a major tourist destination because nearby destinations in the Caribbean that are closer to the US have better beaches, weather, and the touts are not a constant harassment. Also, it looks to me the airport is built in an area that makes it difficult to expand, there's not much infrastructure for more flights, most of the tourism is internal.

If you can weather the negative factors (forgive the pun) I suppose it's a good thing for CTG fans that the destination will never reach critical mass. In fact, I suspect that it's precisely the touts especially, but also the weather, prevent a lot of 2nd visits from US citizens and other countries.

While many Colombians might still consider CTG to be the prime tourist attraction of the country, they might be sadly misinformed if they consider it a great choice for a beach or tropical vacation; better to go to Santa Marta or perhaps further up north in the Guajira region (not much for mongers up there though). Colombians with some money can fly to San Andres island I suppose, although there's no monger scene there either. Rich Colombians with passports have the full set of options obviously; Miami and Orlando are the obvious popular choices that most Colombians dream of going to rich or no.

CTG weather can be just awful during certain months of the year; the heat can be stifling even in the nighttime unless you're right by the sea. I took a Bogotana with me to CTG one time and one particularly hot afternoon, I thought this chica was going to suffer a heat stroke! Folks here complain about the heat in Cali, but I find Cali to be much better weather-wise with its famous cooling breezes at night, something you will be surprised is not so often found in CTG. Some nights it was almost impossible to have a romantic stroll through the streets of the old city with your chica because of the stifling heat.

There are certain sectors in Bocagrande where the hustlers are not so bad but in many areas in the old city, it's almost like a gauntlet you have to get through. It's one of the curses of looking like an obvious gringo tourist. I just keep mumbling no gracias with no eye contact, and I never slow down (or speed up!) Any change in direction, pace, or eye contact just gets them to try harder almost by instinct. Wear dark sunglasses and never be distracted by any hawking of wares.

Well as most people know my reports suck but if you pm I can usualy give you the answers you want. Spirit flights here were all on time thank God. Last time it was a cluster fuck start to finish. For guys that like to party I had left stuff in same apartment hidden. Nothing starts a trip off better for me then finding my stash! Its like a treasure chest! So flights went great my treasure chest wasnt found by anyone! I got here about 1:30 in afternoon. Put my stuff away and headed to beach. Got a massage 40,000 peso from Luce Marina sister. (forget her name) but she sits with Fao the chair guy good people never any bushit.

Saw fucking Tony and alls he does is curse at me because I don't sit with him. Hes the biggest dick I ever met. I was here a couple months ago and he wasnt at beach 5 days. It was so nice. I really thought he died which would have been fine with me. I don't wish that on him of course but I really thought he died because pedro said he did pedro is is a dick too but no where near tonys league.

I haven't been to clubs because I met a girl last time and she fantastic so I spent first night alone. I was just beat up from travel. Spent last night with her 400,000 tdl. Pricey but well worth it. This girl is a total freak just the way I like them. We are going to a club tonight so I will let you know what I see.

I read the 30 last pages of the thread and found them very informative. I have a few questions:

* Are the beaches, outside of the islands, really shitty and full of sewage or are they safe to swim in? If traveling solo, where can I leave my stuff while I'm in the water? Do I need one of those air-tight bags around my neck to take with me?

* I went on airbnb and got a couple of renters to agree to "over night guests" although I never actually told them I'd be mongering the ever living crap out of that place. If there's no concierge or security then really no one will stop me right? I'm trying to get a sense of how hostile locals are to mongering or if they just ignore it. I've been mostly visiting in Panama where no one really cares if you monger or not. I usually try out two or three girls and then always seem to get one who stays with me. It's always worked out that way.

* To those who also visited Panama, specifically Habanos, do you get the same quality? I tend to like them taller, thicker and bustier. All the videos and photos of Cartagena I've seen so far show a lot of thin short girls. They come in all sizes right? .

But don't expect beautiful white sand like the Bahamas or Cancun, the beaches are just OK, nothing special about them but not shitty.

-Of course I would take all my valuables into the water with me if I was alone.

-you will find all kinds of girls in Cartagena, white to black and all shades in between as well as cute little spinners and bustier girls too, you just have to look.

-most guys have very little interaction with hostile locals due to mongering. What exactly do you mean by "mongering the ever living crap out of the place"? If that means you are taking your 2-3 girls to the pool and then doing body shots off their tits in front of a Colombian family on vacation from Bogota then yes you will have a problem. But if you are just entering / exiting your apartment with a girl in tow there should be zero problem.

If a place does not have concierge or security, I would be very wary of the place. That said, most places do have security. I would not recommend telling the host that you are there to monger! Most do not like it. A majority of the apartment buildings (not hotels) are chica friendly, however, you have to be careful of the buildings that require you to wear a wristband. They are not chica friendly.

I have been to Habanos, I would say similar quality.

Every person I've asked so far on airbnb, who have nice apartments in front of the beach and are close to the old city have told me I could have guests over night. All these apartments have doormen.

Guys I know I'm over thinking this but these places have a "strict" cancellation policies; so I'm out in the old city drinking and I find a hottie. When I bring her back I just nod and walk past reception at the building? Is that how it usually works out?

In Panama it was simpler for me because I picked the chica friendly hotels for the first few days and then just registered the girl I'm with in whatever hotel I finished my stay at. I usually end up sticking to one girl for the whole trip after sampling a few.

To avoid problems with bringing a girl back to the Intercontinental, I signed up for a place on airbnb pretty close by in El Laguito. I'll be looking to find a girl at LDV and bring HR back there. I realize the way to get around in Cartagena is a taxi, but seems like a pretty short walk (200 - 300 m) from LDV to the place I am staying at. I assume for such a short distance no need for a taxi?

If I need to get back to the Intercontinental late at night or early in the morning. Taxi is a must??

With respect to the girls at LDV (or for any of the freelancers) - is it all about negotiation? Reading previous posts, sounds like 200 K for an hour is a reasonable target?

Do you have to explicitly discuss with them exactly what they will and won't do with you? If so, I might be in trouble given that my espanol is not as good as it should be.

You need to buy drinks, although there's no exit fee per se.This is really interesting. One of the ways I'd gauge if a girl in Habanos was going to pull a rush job is to invite her for a couple of drinks first. This worked surprisingly well because there is no such rule in Habanos. You could literally walk in, grab a girl and walk out.

I'll need to come up with a newer litmus test.

Thanks!

Hello,

I just returned from the trip and the only 2 things I used was.

Seeking arrangement website.

Tinder app. Free.

Tinder I was able to free get a number and she came right from the beach or lived near by. Not sure if we are able to post phone number for the girls. All the pics are from Tinder or Seeking arrangement.

I had great results from both of them. If I wanted someone to come right over range age was from 18 to 33 Tinder app was the perfect. Seeking arrangement was more long term from the girls and 1 was a free for several days the other was 2 days for $200 USA.

On Tinder girls range was from 100,000 pesos to whatever but you are still able to negotiate.

1 girl wanted $200 USA for 3 hours and we worked out a deal 200,000 pesos for 1 hour -BBBJ and covered for sex and anal.

Now what's on the menu is different story.

BBBJ only a few will do.

The rest is covered and including anal.

BBBJ only a few will do.
Sometimes a small detail tells a lot. I met very few girls in CTG insisting for covered BJ.

In addition, you seem happy that the girl comes directly from the beach to your place, so where's the fun to go to the beach, sit down and look around? Not to mention clubbing?
I am not blaming, just remarking the difference of philosophy and attitude: someone prefers online shopping of food and groceries with home delivery, someone else prefers to go to the farmers' market, taste, touch, smell and choose the best fruits.

OK. Filing my report as promised. Thanks to all for the help and suggestions.

A very short (one day first trip) to Cartagena. Due to work-related obligations, I was committed to staying at the Intercontinental in Bocagrande. Since the thought was this was not a "chica-friendly" place, I'd already also booked an apartment in El Laguito va airbnb ($48 + $6 for second guest + $5 check-in fee) near LDV. With regards to the Intercontinental, another guest (female) reported to me that they signed a document indicating that "no prostitution" would occur in their room. I was fascinated by this. Never saw that asked before. I don't remember noticing or being asked when I signed for my room. Regardless, I found not one really checking or bothering anyone walking to the elevators to go their room. Although, the Intercontinental may be "not chica friendly", I think if you walked in confidently (either with a girl or even the girl coming separately, but dressed appropriately), I doubt you would have any trouble.

In any event, I had other guests I knew at the hotel, so having the apartment for mongering was definitely the right call.

I did not think to try tinder, so during the day I tried walking along Playa Hollywood to see if might find one of the beach handlers to point me in the right direction to find freelancers. No luck. I decided to suspend efforts until the evening. After dinner in el centro, I headed to LDV just a little after 10 PM (Thursday night). The place was DEAD - 4 guys in side having beers, and no girls. I realize this place doesn't get going until after 11 PM, but was surprised to see zero girls. In any event outside LDV, there were 4 girls. One of them, Andrea, was pretty cute (8/10 for what this subjective scale is worth) with huge natural tits. She smiled at me and I waved her over. She didn't speak any English and decide my reservations about my Spanish, I rose to the occasion in a moment of need! She was from Medellin but had been in Cartagena for a while. She asked if I wanted her, to which I said, absolutely. She asked me to propose a price, but I asked her to do so instead. She suggested $150 USD to which I said way too high. I countered at 200 K pesos, she asked for 350 K and when I declined, accepted 200 K. I think she was gone for less, but I have never been a good negotiator.

My place in El Laguito was just around the corner so we walked over together. I was expecting the guard at the desk to ask her to sign in and charge me another $5 check in fee, but we met no resistance. Once in my place, Andrea and I got down to business. She did not ask for the money to begin with. She was very nice in fact. Gave a phenomenal BJ (deep throat) -- we did it with the cover at my request, but it was clear BBBJ was on the menu. She was so good, I confirmed with her that I could have a second round (I didn't want to be in agony and try to prolong things in fear of no round 2) - I felt stupid for not having negotiated this in advance, because here was a good opportunity for her to up-charge. However, she said it was fine. So round 1 ended with the CBJ. After some chit-chat, round 2 started the same way (she is super) and finished with her on top.

I had a very nice time. I am not into plastic / artificial girls, and she was real with a nice figure but real natural tits and sensitive nipples. I was happy enough that I decided to give her an additional 20 K pesos tip.

From an overall value perspective, clearly not great for Colombia (I spent far less for a lot more in Bogota), but I was satisfied. Felt a lot safer in Cartagena compared with Bogota.

Is La Dolce Vita essentially like Habanos in Panama City? You sit at a table drinking beers and girls try to get your attention? Do you need to pay an exit fee for them?

If not, is there a setup like Habanos in Cartagena?Habanos is way better. As you know the girls in Habanos are not lazy. You can stand near the bar like me and let most of them grab your balls when they walk by. In LDV you don't need to pay a bar fine or anything. I haven't been there in a couple years. I don't go in there when I go to Cartagena anymore. The girls ask for too much, and so many of them ask for you to buy them a damn drink. My long time lady friend that I met there, has stopped working there for a long time now. When she wants to work in Cartagena she only uses Tinder. She is a very good looking girl and can get a high price. Me and her are pretty good friends now. I only ask her if she wants to go somewhere with me when I feel like it and she will travel with me. I just pay for the trip and nothing else.

If you want more freelancers go near the Hard Rock cafe around sunset. You will see ladies all over the place near the big clock tower and some of the bars near there. I actually like the bar with lots of freelancers called Tu Candela. It is very close to the Hard Rock cafe. I like Tu Candela way better than LDV.

Use Google maps, find the Hard Rock cafe on Google maps, then use streetview. Someone from Google walked around with their 360 cameras. They walk right in front of Tu Candela. When not looking to bang chicas it's pretty cool to walk around the old city. I'd rather stay in the old city, than to pretend like Cartagena has a nice beach or something. Except, most places inside the walled city are very old, and things tend to not work so well. I've used Airbnb inside the walled city twice. No problem with ladies coming to the room. If you use Aribnb, try to rent from an American or foreigner. They almost will never care about, or ask, or find out if you bring a woman to their property.

This post is an overview of the Cartagena (CTG) leg of my first trip to Colombia; I spent a week in CTG in early September 2016. Please see my previous posts, in which I provided an overview of my trip, compared my experiences in Medellin (MDE) and CTG, and described my first week in MDE. I will break my CTG reporting up into thematic installments, as my experiences there covered a wider range of chicas and venues than my time in MDE, where the Mansion was the focus of my mongering.

I chose to visit CTG after MDE because my pre-trip research indicated that the MDE mongering scene would be more rewarding than that of CTG and I planned to do more non-mongering things in CTG. I mongered less in CTG because my manhood and leche needed time to recover from my overindulgence at the Mansion and because the CTG mongering scene yielded less favorable results than that of MDE. I had lower expectations for CTG mongering, based on my pre-trip research, but my actual experiences there were even less fruitful than I expected, so I mongered even less than I had originally planned.

I rented an apartment, per standard CTG mongering procedure. I nonetheless stayed in the Old City, rather than Bocagrande or El Laguito, for a combination of mongering and non-mongering reasons. My pre-trip research suggested that the only major advantage of Bocagrande and El Laguito (for me) would have been proximity to two of CTG's primary mongering venues: La Dolce Vita (LDV) and Playa Hollywood. My pre-trip research did not persuade me that those two venues were appealing enough to drive the location of my rental (and my actual experiences at both venues were even worse than I had anticipated). I was aware that Juan Ventura's chica-friendly apartment rentals in El Laguito might have yielded better value for the money, in terms of the apartment itself, but the three most important things in real estate are location, location, and location. As a resident of Lower Manhattan, I am used to paying a lot more money for a rental in the right location and had no problem doing so in CTG either.

The Old City struck me as a more appealing location not only for its historic character and atmosphere but also due to its greater proximity to other mongering venues that sounded more appealing to me, such as the Clock Tower area and Isis. This choice of location ultimately served me well from a logistical perspective, as did the rental itself. I rented an apartment that I found through non-mongering websites after I determined that I would not have any problems bringing chicas there. The apartment satisfied me and fulfilled my needs well enough; I would stay there again if I were to return to CTG.

In general, I found CTG chicas less attractive than their MDE counterparts. Many of the CTG chicas that I found the most attractive were from MDE. The exception to this generally lower level of attractiveness was in the two CTG strip clubs, Isis and Pleyclub, which may have been because Colombian strip clubs may tend to hire chicas that are a better fit for my body type preferences. I would say that the hottest CTG chicas were at the strip clubs, followed by LDV and then the Clock Tower.

What disappointed me most about CTG chicas was not their appearance but their attitude. The "meet & greet" aspect of Latin American mongering, which enables you to get to know a chica, figure out if there is chemistry, and build pre-session rapport, is a key aspect of what I enjoy about it. CTG was much weaker in this regard, as the chicas there tended to get right down to business and pop the question before I was ready to decide. This tendency encourages you to either walk away or pull the trigger prematurely. When I tried to slow them down, they frequently resisted or gave me an attitude, as if I was wasting their time. This tendency to rush was also evident in some actual sessions and was probably why some of the chicas that I pulled performed so poorly.

The quality of my CTG mongering experiences ranged from fantastic to terrible. I used the word "experiences" rather than "sessions" because I had to abort three sessions with CTG chicas due to payment issues, so I cannot comment on the quality of their service (if they actually intended to provide any service at all). All but one of the independent chicas that I brought to my apartment asked for payment up front, which I always refused, explaining that I would pay them when we were done. Their reactions to my stance ranged from immediate acceptance without further discussion to a threat to call the police. Payment issues loomed so large over my CTG trip that I will devote a separate post to it.

I shopped around a lot in the week that I was there – perhaps more than I should have, because my subsequent shopping did not yield any chicas that were better than the four gems that I pulled in my first nights there. In retrospect, perhaps I should have "wifed up" with one or more of those four gems for the remainder of my trip instead of continuing to shop around. I did a TLN with one of those four gems on my last full night in CTG and a 1-hour repeat with another one of them (which, in retrospect, I wish had been a TLN as well). I would have repeated with another one of those four gems, but she returned to Venezuela in the middle of my trip; I have been kicking myself ever since for not extending our 1-hour session into a TLN. My recommendation is that when you find good chicas in CTG, stick with them instead of continuing to shop around, because CTG has a high proportion of malicious chicas and poor performers.

Finding the right chicas in CTG consumed a lot more of my time, energy, patience, and money (that is, the logistical costs of searching for them, not just their higher session rates) than in MDE. Many of the key mongering venues in CTG do not get busy until late at night, which can be an obstacle if you are not a night person or you have to wake up early in the morning (as I did for my scuba diving). The most cost-effective venue, which yielded the most consistently favorable results for me, was Tinder, which also enabled me to schedule sessions at earlier hours that suited my schedule better.

200 K COP appeared to be a typical hourly rate at which independent CTG chicas start negotiations, as I heard that figure far more frequently than any other. I found that when a chica asked for more than 200 K, it was usually for one of two reasons. The first reason was that she was unusually hot (or thought that she was unusually hot). The second reason was that all but one of them that was willing to provide BBBJ asked for an additional "surcharge" for it; only one chica did not ask for a BBBJ "surcharge," and she was one of the best performers that I found in CTG. The BBBJ "surcharges" ranged from 30 K to 70 K COP. The high end of the typical hourly rate range was 280-300 K COP.

Only one chica made a serious quote for a higher hourly rate – 400 K COP. I told her that her quote was unusually high, even for CTG, to which she responded by acknowledging that her target rate was significantly above-market because she was so much more beautiful than the other chicas (I immediately walked away). Another chica tried to pull the "I meant dollars, not pesos" scam on me by trying to turn our previously agreed 200 K COP rate into $200 USD, which I thwarted (I will report that incident separately). Only one other chica asked for payment in USD instead of COP (at the more reasonable rate to which we had agreed beforehand); she indicated that she preferred USD because USD would be more valuable for her to bring back to Venezuela (this chica was top-notch, by the way).

I sampled a wide array of CTG mongering options – in fact, almost all of the major venues and chica types except casas, the business model of which may not be the best fit for my mongering preferences, as I discovered in MDE. I had my best results with Venezuelans and Tinder users. I had my worst results with Playa Hollywood and LDV. I will elaborate on my experiences at these different venues and with different chica types in separate posts.

The two best independent chicas that I pulled in my week-long stay in Cartagena (CTG) were both Venezuelans. They indicated that they had come to CTG due to the dire economic conditions in Venezuela, so they must have been part of the broader wave of Venezuelan chicas that have been fanning out across the Caribbean in search of a better life. I believe that the superior experiences that I had with them could reflect a trend that I also observed with Nicaraguans in Costa Rica and Haitians in the Dominican Republic: chicas from poorer neighboring countries often provide better experiences, as they may be hungrier (perhaps literally, in the case of Venezuela) for work and more eager to please.

One of these two Venezuelan chicas was my first successful CTG pull. She introduced herself to me as Shaina in person, but her Tinder profile (which I found later by chance) identified her as Maria, age 26. She is black and somewhat on the taller side, slender and athletic, but with enough flesh in the right places to please a tits & ass man like me, juicy lips, and straight hair. She displayed a simply elegant beauty that immediately caught my eye late on a Saturday night / Sunday morning at Space, when she wore a white dress and bore a soothing smile. We immediately clicked and agreed to a 1-hour session at my nearby Old City apartment. She asked that I pay her in USD, rather than COP, as she indicated that USD would be more valuable for her to bring back to Venezuela. I would also add that she was the ONLY independent chica that I pulled in CTG who did not at least try to get paid up front.

Maria / Shaina wanted a higher rate for BBBJ, which I found was typical of those chicas in CTG who are willing to provide BBBJ (a slight majority stick to CBJ). This higher rate turned out to be a good investment, as she gave me one of the best blowjobs that I have had in a long time – worthy of a porn star. The full-service was also high-quality, particularly when she rode me on top with her legs parallel to mine, not around my waist or thighs– a great position for her. The feel of her soft, silky flesh against mine was delightful, both before and after the main event, when she cuddled with me – good GFE and a very nice girl in general. I did another 1-hour session with her later that week, when I ran into her by chance at the Clock Tower and did not see any other viable prospects. She performed equally well this time around – which is significant, as I have found that many chicas become complacent during repeat sessions and do not perform as well as they did the first time. In retrospect, I wish that I had extended this second session into a TLN, but I do try to keep the number of my TLNs in check and I had to wake up early for scuba diving the next morning. She does two-girl sessions with her friend Barbara, 27, who is also Venezuelan, black, and a Tinder user but thicker and more curvaceous, with wavier hair.

My second Venezuelan chica was my first CTG pull from Tinder: Mailin, 32. Her profile photos impressed me enough that I sent her a "Super Like. " She is tall and thick with serious tits & ass (the former turned out to be silicone, but of high quality), a long, full, and curly blonde mane that extends down to her big booty, exotic facial features, and juicy lips. She liked me back and sent me her phone number for further communication via WhatsApp. She asked for a reasonable rate and offered BBBJ at no extra charge (the only chica in that I pulled in CTG who did so). I made an early evening appointment, for which she arrived two minutes early– a punctual chica! She greeted me with a kiss and told me that I looked better than my Tinder profile pictures. She did ask if I could pay her up front, but I explained that I would pay her at the end of the session, which she immediately accepted without further discussion, and she did not even ask for a tip or taxi money when I did pay her at the end.

Her DFK and BBBJ were good, but her full service was out of this world. Hitting that big booty from the back was fantastic, and the view from behind was ever better with that long blonde mane of hers. She later rode me like a wild animal, demonstrating the strength of her lower body musculature and mixing it up between rough and gentle. The highlight was when she spun around from CG to RCG without pulling me out– I have never had such a thick woman execute that maneuver so smoothly. She gave me a good BBBJ finish. I ran into her the next night at the Clock Tower with Paola, 37, a paisa MILF friend of hers with whom I had also been corresponding via Tinder. I ended up pulling Paola that night and will report that session separately. In retrospect, I wish I had repeated with Mailin, as Paola was just OK. Mailin hit me up for a repeat or a two-girl session with Paola the next evening, but we did not have enough time between the end of my scuba diving and Mailin's flight back to Venezuela that night. In retrospect, I wish that I had extended my initial session with Mailin into a TLN on the spot.

I found two other Venezuelans in CTG that I did not pull. One was at the Clock Tower on my first night in town (a Saturday). Her name escapes me, but she was younger (early 20's), short, and thick with large and natural-looking tits & ass, shoulder-length brown hair, and a cute face. I passed when she insisted on CBJ at an hourly rate (300 K COP) that I felt was too high for that level of service; she was really hot, though. Another was Eleguasita, a thick blonde Tinder user in her 30's with big tits & ass. She offered a more reasonable rate, but I broke off contact with her because she had an online conniption when I asked her if she offered BBBJ (she did not).

Has anyone else encountered Venezuelan chicas in CTG, and were your results consistent with mine?

The Clock Tower is a small world.

I know her as Shaina. Why do you think that on Tinder she would put her real name? Maybe the opposite.

She is a good girl indeed. I am still exchanging some messages on Whatshapp.

Don't know much at all about this service, but the photos are really impressive. I bit more than normal prices ($120-$130 an hour), but if the quality is what they advertise would be worth it for an agency. Will let everyone knows how it goes.

Probably staying with some other friends at Poseidon. Never been, but looks nice and great location. Hope it's chica friendly!

As a virtual mongering venue, Tinder yielded more consistently favorable results for me than any of the traditional physical venues during my week in Cartagena (CTG). None of these Tinder pulls were bad, and all of them were at least satisfactory. One of my four Tinder pulls yielded one of the best sessions that I had there; please see my post on Venezuelan chicas in CTG for more details on Mailin, 32.

The other Venezuelan chica in that post (Maria, 26) is also available on Tinder, although I pulled her from a physical venue (Space). Indeed, three of the four chicas that I met through Tinder also operate in the traditional physical venues; the fourth (Dane, 21) claimed that she only operated online. In fact, my actual session with one of these four Tinder chicas (Paola, 37) did not occur until I encountered her by chance at the Clock Tower – with Mailin, who, as luck would have it, is friends with Paola. I also encountered another one of my Tinder pulls (Carito, 29) at the Clock Tower on several occasions.

I am curious as to whether or not other CTG mongers have had similar results with Tinder and why it yielded more consistently favorable results for me than the physical venues, since many of the same chicas evidently operate in the physical venues too. I was hesitant to resort to the Internet as a source of chicas on a Latin American mongering trip because the "meet & greet" aspect of it was so important to me. I figured that I could find hookers on the Internet back home; it did not make sense to travel all the way to Colombia to do that in a country where you can instead meet them in person before you decide to pull the trigger in order to determine whether or not there is chemistry and built pre-session rapport.

I only resorted to Tinder in CTG because the physical venues started later at night than I would have preferred and were not working as well for me as I had hoped. I spent a lot of time talking to chicas in person without finding a suitable match or, even worse, finding what I thought was a suitable match, only to have it crash and burn when I brought them back to my apartment. I did better with chicas that just showed up at my apartment after some relatively brief and basic exchanges on Tinder. My relative success with Tinder in CTG makes me wish in retrospect that I had pulled chicas directly from Facebook when I was at the Mansion in Medellin (MDE).

Three of these Tinder-using chicas (Paola, Carito, and Dane) are from MDE. I am curious as to whether or not this pattern reflects either my personal taste for the paisa look, a higher Tinder adoption rate for paisa chicas in CTG, or the mere prevalence of paisa chicas in CTG in general.

Two of these paisa chicas are clearly in the MILF age bracket, and the Venezuelan Mailin, at 32, probably qualifies as a MILF too. I am more open to MILFs than most other Latin America mongers, but I do not have a preference for them per se, so the fact that three of my four CTG Tinder pulls were in their 30's has nothing to do with my own preferences. I find this point rather ironic, since it is often the younger people that adopt technology more wholeheartedly. Indeed, it was my youngest Tinder pull (Dane, 21) who indicated that she only operated online and not in physical venues.

Distinguishing the chicas from the general female population of CTG on Tinder is not difficult, but some are easier to spot than others. Some of them explicitly identify themselves in their profiles as a "dama de compañia," or even as an "escort" or "scort" (in English). Others have content in their profiles that identifies them as working girls less explicitly, e. G. Subtler wording or a combination of sexually-themed and financially-themed emojis. Some of them will not come out as chicas at all until you have matched with them and begin exchanging private messages with them. Aside from verbal cues, you can usually (but not always) distinguish the chicas from their profile photos; they are hotter than the general female population and have more provocative and revealing photos. Spotting the chicas is not an exact science, however, and on a few occasions I mistook a normal female user for a working girl (there were more non-P4P female Tinder users in CTG during my trip than I expected). If her intentions are not clear, the best way to clear them up is to ask her what she is seeking on Tinder. If she is a working girl, she will usually respond to that question by self-identifying as such.

Below are details on the other three chicas that I met through Tinder.

Paola, 37, a MILF from MDE: Kudos to her for being honest about her age on her Tinder profile; I would have guessed that she was much younger. She is tall and has that typical paisa look, decent breast implants, a nice booty, and a classier vibe that most other chicas. She is quiet and may seem shy. We had been messaging back and forth but did not get around to setting up a date and a time until I ran into her by chance at the Clock Tower with her friend Mailin, 32, my first Tinder pull from the night before. Since Paola was there, I decided to bring her back to my nearby apartment for the session that we had been planning. Just like Mailin, she asked for the money up front, to which I responded by telling her that I would pay her after the session; she accepted that answer without further discussion. The session was OK; she gave a good BBBJ, and I was pleasantly surprised that her pussy made me leche in the cover, which had become difficult for me after a week and a half of non-stop sex. She followed up with some good post-leche GFE cuddling. In retrospect, though, if I had to do it over again, I would have repeated with Mailin instead, who was hotter and more intense in the sack.

Carito, 29, another MDE MILF: She goes by the name Paulina at the Clock Tower. She is blonde and whiter than me and was probably not honest about her age on her Tinder profile. She has a most impressive booty and nice tits (I was uncertain as to whether or not they are real). We set up a date and a time, for which she was half an hour late, although she updated me on her progress via WhatsApp. It emerged in these WhatsApp exchanges during her taxi ride that she speaks English, of which she had given no indication in our previous communication on Tinder (another chica did the same thing face-to-face, which I will report in a separate post). When she arrived, she asked for payment up front, which I refused; I suggested as an alternative that I place the money in plain sight and that she could take it after the session, which she accepted. The quality of her service was great and made the initial hiccups worthwhile; she gave high-quality BBBJ, rode me like a raging cowgirl, and stuck around for some good post-leche GFE cuddling. Her booty made that oh-so-satisfying clapping sound as it smacked against me. If she was not genuinely getting into it, she certainly persuaded me that she was. She was both flirtatious and humorous and sent me naked pictures of herself later. She was overall a good choice, despite the issues with her lateness, understating her age, and trying to get paid up front.

Dane, 21, also from MDE: She has the typical paisa look and is petite and slender, but fleshy enough in the right places to please a tits & ass man like me, with thick blowjob lips. She was about 10-15 minutes late. She started giving me some of the best BBBJ that I received in CTG when, out of the blue, she asked for the money; I told her that I would pay her after my leche, which she accepted, albeit reluctantly and with some protest. She resumed the top-notch BBBJ with gusto before proceeding to almost equally high-quality full service, until I finally lost it. I paid her shortly thereafter, fully expecting her to take off immediately, which I would not have minded, as my manhood was worn out after two weeks in Colombia and I had to start getting ready to fly home later that night anyway. Much to my surprise, she stuck around for some post-leche GFE cuddling and even some DATY; she sat on my face and fed me her tasty pussy juice. In fact, I later had to kick her out because I needed to get ready for my flight. She did not ask for a tip or even cab fare; she just asked that I keep her contact information for future visits to CTG. All in all, Dane was a good choice, except for having the chutzpah to interrupt a great blowjob by asking for the money up front; that was some serious brinksmanship.

Don't know much at all about this service, but the photos are really impressive. I bit more than normal prices ($120-$130 an hour), but if the quality is what they advertise would be worth it for an agency. Will let everyone knows how it goes.

Probably staying with some other friends at Poseidon. Never been, but looks nice and great location. Hope it's chica friendly!I would be curious of the prices of the apartments. It looks like one of the buildings is Mirador del Laquito and I usually pay 220,000 pesos for a two bedroom. Also, some of the girls can be found at the beach for 150 K during the day. I know one for sure.

I will look for your report. Have fun.

I visited the two main strip clubs in Cartagena (CTG), Isis and Pleyclub, during my week there in early September 2016. They have the same ownership and business model, but my experiences at the two clubs differed significantly; I am uncertain as to whether or not that difference was the luck of the draw, an indication of differences between the two venues, my own fault, or a combination of the above. My experiences in CTG nonetheless overcame my previous resistance to mongering at Latin American strip clubs and made me regret in retrospect that I did not go to any strip clubs during the first week of my trip in Medellin (MDE). I will make strip clubs a higher priority during my next trip to MDE.

I had previously been reluctant to monger at strip clubs due to concerns about clip joints, bill padding, and hustles and minimums for overpriced drinks, especially since I abstain from alcohol while mongering. I would have had no objection in principle to the higher rates for the actual sessions at strip clubs if those higher rates yielded a higher quality of service, but what I had heard about the level of service in some of these establishments did not inspire my confidence in that regard.

I had a rough first night (a Saturday) with some of the independent chicas in CTG due to payment issues that forced me to abort two sessions in a row (I will report those incidents in a separate post). Given that baptism by fire and the realization that Sunday night would probably be slow for independent chicas anyway, I decided to try my luck at Isis instead, which had the additional advantages of an early opening time (9 PM) and a location just a few blocks away from my Old City apartment. Isis is also just a few blocks away from the Clock Tower, so it is worth swinging by there for an hour or two before the Clock Tower gets busy at around 11 PM. The other advantage of Isis over the Clock Tower is that you can sit and watch and talk to the strippers in a comfortable, air-conditioned environment at a leisurely pace, rather than standing in the sweltering heat and horse manure smell of the Clock Tower and trying to negotiate a good pull in a 2-5 minute conversation.

Another, more important advantage of Isis was the line-up; in my opinion, the only hotter girls in CTG were at Pleyclub. With that said, my taste in women differs from that of most other gringo mongers; I have a strong preference for the tall & thick, tits & ass type that made me want to come to Colombia in the first place. It appears in retrospect that Colombian strip clubs in general tend hire those kinds of girls. The line-up at Isis (and Pleyclub) had a much higher proportion of such girls, which impressed me right off the bat. The downside of Isis (and perhaps Pleyclub operates in the same way) is that they seemed to have the same line-up of girls throughout the week; I went there four times and saw mostly the same girls. Both girls that I pulled at Isis told me that they have to work seven nights a week.

The other problem with Isis (and Pleyclub, which operates in the same way) is that there was not much actual stripping. Some of the girls explained to me that the girls do not get on stage until the club has enough of a critical mass of customers, which may not happen until 11 PM or later. Even then, only one girl dances at a time, and there is often a lot of downtime between performances. At most, you will see three to five girls dance within an hour. This point is critical for me because, in my opinion, the whole point of a strip club is the opportunity to see on stage what a girl has to offer, both in terms of her naked body and her ability to use it effectively, before you decide to pull her. Otherwise, a strip club is just an expensive nighttime casa where you can talk to the girls before you pick them. This guideline served me well at Isis and yielded two great pulls; when I forsook this guideline at Pleyclub, I ended up regretting it, although there may have been other problems with my selection anyway. In retrospect, I am also kicking myself for not "test driving" strippers with lap dances when there were not enough girls on stage, or when none of the girls on stage appealed to me.

My main concern about strip clubs – drink hustles and minimums and general pressure to buy alcohol – turned out to be a non-issue at both establishments. There was no cover charge. The only requirement at both establishments (they have the same policies and even the same menus) was that your first purchase be 14 K COP or more; I went with Red Bull (22 K COP), which had the added advantage of giving me the energy that I would need for my sessions. After that, I just bought bottles of water (6 K COP) to rehydrate my leche supply. In a total of five visits to both establishments, no girl asked me to buy her a single drink, so if there is a hustle for drinks, I somehow miraculously avoided it.

My first pull on my first visit to Isis was Julieta, a tall, thick brunette with some serious curves (definitely some silicone, but of good quality). She caught my eye shortly after I sat down; she usually wears form-fitting jeans and an equally form-fitting, cleavage-revealing white top. Her subsequent performance on stage immediately sold me, as both her body and her ability to work it impressed me. She got dressed again and returned to the main room, where I smiled at her and made eye contact with her. She reciprocated and immediately came over for a brief chat; it was not long before she offered me a 1-hour session, to which I agreed. The hourly rate at Isis is 260 K COP, plus the modest cost of a room at a short-time hotel just down the street (they do not have their own on-site rooms for such sessions). Pleyclub also charges 260 K COP for a full-service session, but for only 40-45 minutes in an on-site room. I believe that the additional cost (compared to the independent chicas in the Clock Tower or elsewhere) is worthwhile, given their greater hotness and the lower risk of stripper malfeasance.

Basing my selection on a stripper's on-stage performance turned out to be a wise strategy, as Julieta totally banged my brains out in every position that I could imagine, and in a few that I could not imagine. She was not just a solid performer, she also inspired me to step my game up as well. If she was not genuinely enjoying herself, she certainly persuaded me otherwise. It was a good thing that the short-time hotel was just down the street from my apartment, because I could hardly walk after we were done. The Red Bull that I had to buy earlier that night turned out to be a good investment.

Needless to say, this experience persuaded me to return to Isis the next night. There was another stripper there who had also caught my eye the night before: Yessica, whose large natural tits & ass protruded from the elegant, form-fitting white dress that she usually wears. She had beautiful Incan facial features that I had seen more frequently in Peruvians. We exchanged smiles from across the room that first night, and at one point she came and sat at the table next to mine (Colombian women's way of trying to get a guy to talk to them without approaching him directly; she is shy, quiet, and soft-spoken). I did not pull her that night because I had not seen her on stage yet. Fortunately, she was one of the first three or four girls to take the stage that second night, and her performance immediately persuaded me to choose her. I got her attention after she had gotten dressed and returned to the main room, and she came over for a brief conversation and proposed a 1 hour session. Just when I thought that things were going perfectly, she explained that she only offered CBJ and ruled out BBBJ categorically. CBJ is normally a deal-breaker for me, but in this case, her demonstrated ability to use her lower body to great effect persuaded me that I would probably be more interested in her other primary orifice anyway.

Once gain, my selection of a stripper based on her on-stage performance turned out to be a wise strategy, and my decision to make an exception to my BBBJ-only policy yielded positive results too. This girl could probably use her booty and pussy to turn a lump of coal into a diamond, and she eventually managed to use her powerful pussy muscles to milk a leche out of me in the cover, which is often difficult after mongering in a place like Colombia for more than week. She was also probably the most GFE-intensive of all the girls that I met in CTG, which was decisive in persuading me to pull her again for a TLN on my last full night in town. The TLN was not cheap (620 K COP) but was worth every peso. In addition to her top-notch body and full service, she is a total and genuine sweetheart.

My success at Isis thus far persuaded me to return for the third night in a row, although by this point I had probably gotten as much out of the line-up as I was going to get. A few girls that had impressed me on stage on previous nights were busy drinking with other customers, and the girls that I saw on stage for the first time that night did not impress me. I tried approaching a few other girls out of the blue but sensed some attitude that prompted me to abort.

Having exhausted the line-up at Isis, I decided to venture out to Pleyclub later that week. It is a longer cab drive from Centro, and the first cab driver I asked did not know where it was. I knew that it was in a bad neighborhood (especially at night), but that knowledge did not prepare me for the sight of a presumable homicide scene on the cab ride out there. The cab stopped at an intersection, where a dead body with a bloody head wound lay on the pavement, just next to the sidewalk. A police car was nearby, as were some police officers and other random people. I had not seen a dead body, let alone that of a victim of violence, since I was in Iraq years ago, so this sight admittedly caused me some anxiety, which may have thrown me off my game once I got to Pleyclub.

Pleyclub definitely had the hottest girls in CTG, just a notch above Isis, but I found the atmosphere less friendly and welcoming than that of Isis. It took a long time for the girls to get on stage, and the girls that eventually went on stage were not to my taste physically, nor did they impress me with their on-stage performances. For whatever reason that I cannot fathom, in a club full of voluptuous, statuesque beauties, they chose only the smallest, scrawniest girls to go on stage, and these girls did not demonstrate any significant physical talents.

I got tired of waiting for the on-stage talent to impress me and instead approached a thick paisa with a cute face and a big booty that had been making eyes at me from across the room, whose name I cannot recall. This choice was where I made two mistakes at once: picking a stripper than I had not seen on stage and pulling a girl that made the first move (although I might have approached her otherwise). We agreed to a full-service session after a brief conversation. It started out well enough, as I enjoyed hitting that big booty from the back, but it went downhill once she realized that she might have to do some actual work in other positions. I had also asked her specifically if she offered BBBJ before agreeing to a session; she said that she offered BBBJ but hardly did any sucking at all during the session and demonstrated an attitude when I brought it up or asked her to do something other than get on all fours or spread her legs. I just barely got my leche, and it did not help that she kept reminding me that we only had 40-45 minutes to finish.

As a virtual mongering venue, Tinder yielded more consistently favorable results for me than any of the traditional physical venues during my week in Cartagena (CTG). None of these Tinder pulls were bad, and all of them were at least satisfactory. One of my four Tinder pulls yielded one of the best sessions that I had there; please see my post on Venezuelan chicas in CTG for more details on Mailin, 32.

The other Venezuelan chica in that post (Maria, 26) is also available on Tinder, although I pulled her from a physical venue (Space). Indeed, three of the four chicas that I met through Tinder also operate in the traditional physical venues; the fourth (Dane, 21) claimed that she only operated online. In fact, my actual session with one of these four Tinder chicas (Paola, 37) did not occur until I encountered her by chance at the Clock Tower with Mailin, who, as luck would have it, is friends with Paola. I also encountered another one of my Tinder pulls (Carito, 29) at the Clock Tower on several occasions.

I am curious as to whether or not other CTG mongers have had similar results with Tinder and why it yielded more consistently favorable results for me than the physical venues, since many of the same chicas evidently operate in the physical venues too. I was hesitant to resort to the Internet as a source of chicas on a Latin American mongering trip because the "meet & greet" aspect of it was so important to me. I figured that I could find hookers on the Internet back home; it did not make sense to travel all the way to Colombia to do that in a country where you can instead meet them in person before you decide to pull the trigger in order to determine whether or not there is chemistry and built pre-session rapport..Done your same itinerary 20 days ago from Medellin to Cartagena, I agree to all you wrote for Medellin and even Cartagena, in Medellin was simple to hang out in park Lleira night time, and in Cartagena I agree about tinder as well.

WARNING: I stayed at the Poseidon (which was great accommodations wise) But was horrific trying to get girls in there. 3 Months ago I was there. I asked the property manager of the apartment if it was OK to bring girls. He stated that he manages a majority of the units in the Poseidon and they would make special accommodations for me. Well. I thought "Great!

I get there my first night and bring my first girl in. Here is the rule at Poseidon. No Guests can enter the building after 10 PM. Period! I was so ticked off. I told the desk lady "Hey I know the manager of all these apartments and he said it was okay". She very, very reluctantly let me in. I think it was because my girl was hot and classy and did not look like a Hooker.

Well next day I call the property manager and tell him what happened that I ALMOST didn't get in. He says "NO problem" he would talk to the general manager and it would all be fine. Well guess what?? Next night its 11 pm and I have another new hotty. I go to the desk and she says. "Sorry. No guests after 11 PM! I say wait. The GM said it was OK. She said "he never.

Told me it was okay" so I had to turn away my girl! (didn't feel like renting an hourly room somewhere). I was beyond livid. The next night I try to bring a girl in and they stop me at the front door!(I didn't even make it to the desk)! I raised hell and finally mad it to the desk. I tried everything to get my girl in even a very expensive bribe. They would not take the money!

I ended up calling the manager the next day telling him I want my money back now I'm moving out!! He calmed me down and Guaranteed to get me in anytime I want. Well long story short I did get in the remaining nights but it was still hell. I saw them turning away other guys right and left who tried bringing in girls.

Get a guarantee from your apartment owner that you can bring guests or your money back. Say something now to them Before you go. You don't want a surprise like that.

Gents,

I've been living and working in Cartagena now for several months and here is my report with facts and subjective experiences and suggestions.

I have some questions at the end.

Clubs.

Isis: Nice club in the old city with some real lookers, but not overly friendly compared to other joints.

I'm yet to take a chica out of there due to lack of chemistry and better (value) options elsewhere.

Quoted price 300 K including room.

Pley Club: Better vibe in my opinion. Sessioned with an amazing and friendly Paisa, and took the number from a stunning Caleña who I'm yet to follow up.

Paid: 275 K including room.

La Dulce Vita: Bar in El Laguito. Minimum spend of 80 K (may have changed) pesos at the bar before you can take a chica out.

Met a super hot negra caleña with tits and ass for days there, and sessioned with her on two amazing occasions.

Paid: 80 K exit fee + 200 K to chica + 16 k motel.

Rosario House: More like a brothel, but has a nice bar, and seating area where you can have a drink and chat with the girls.

Shabby but clean rooms on site where the chicas live.

Really well run place. Mostly local chicas early 20's, and caters to local customers. I had an amazing time there with a hot (albeit slightly stoned) Cartagenera.

Paid: 190 k all in.

Angeles Club: Mid tier joint that is really well run (the owner / manager is a woman), with quality girls.

Sessioned with a hot paisa there. 2 shots / BBJ / DFK without negotiation nor even request for propina.

Some real hotties there. Plan to go back. Rooms on site where the chicas live.

Paid: 200 k all in.

El Paraiso del Marino: A bit out of town with mostly younger local chicas.

Rooms were of higher standard.

Sessioned with a super hot / toned / tattooed chica who treated me like exercise equipment.

Paid: 220 k all in.

Space: Loud techno, people smoking inside the entrance hallway, dark, full of coked up white men, transexuals and the occasional hot chica.

Struck gold, by finding a super hot, curvy Venezuelan where everything was up for grabs. Pissed off only about the 50 K peso exit fee. Got her number for future ref but unlikely to ever set foot in Space again.

Paid: 50 k exit fee + 150 k to Chica.

Public Spaces.

El Torre Reloj (Clock Tower): Best chicas and best value in my experience and opinion. I have sessioned with around 15 chicas who work the clock tower and have nothing bad to report.

Some have limits. Occasionally no DFK. DATY has always been on the menu but I often don't bother. Though those who do make up for it in other ways.

My flavour is brunette morenas, and there are many bonitas amables in this region.

I also now have a reg in this category who is a real keeper.

Paid: I offer 150 K to all of these girls as standard, which they readily accept.

Beaches: I must be missing something. I have walked the beaches of Bocagrande and El Laguito in the afternoons and encountered only one or two chicas who might be on the game, but lack approachability. Would appreciate some help or insights here.

Apps / Websites.

Tinder: A lot of golden professional chicas here. I met a hot Venezuelan for a super sesh. She rented an apartment herself. This seems common.

Mileroticos.com: Some super hot and quality advertisers here. Most rent apartments in El Lguito. A Cartagenera there named Katalina is a bombshell.

I have visited about 8 chicas from here mostly Cartageneras or Venezuelans. All top notch. Frustrating however that many do not use whatsapp. So your selection may be limited.

Recommend for day action.

Anyway lads, I hope this report helps.

I'd appreciate insights and feedback.

I'm also happy to meet anyone from this group for a beer and a prowl around in CTG.

Great report. Thanks.

I was in Ctgn for two nights last week. I took a girl in ISIS and was more expansive since I requested "toda la noche". Maybe I expend too much but was great sex. I've never tried Pleyclub. The following night I took a girl near LDV. It cost me $ 150 pesos.

Gents,

I've been living and working in Cartagena now for several months and here is my report with facts and subjective experiences and suggestions.

I have some questions at the end.

Clubs.

Isis: Nice club in the old city with some real lookers, but not overly friendly compared to other joints.

I'm yet to take a chica out of there due to lack of chemistry and better (value) options elsewhere.

Quoted price 300 K including room.

Pley Club: Better vibe in my opinion. Sessioned with an amazing and friendly Paisa, and took the number from a stunning Calea who I'm yet to follow up.

Paid: 275 K including room.

La Dulce Vita: Bar in El Laguito. Minimum spend of 80 K (may have changed) pesos at the bar before you can take a chica out.

Met a super hot negra calea with tits and ass for days there, and sessioned with her on two amazing occasions.

Paid: 80 K exit fee + 200 K to chica + 16 k motel.

Rosario House: More like a brothel, but has a nice bar, and seating area where you can have a drink and chat with the girls.

Shabby but clean rooms on site where the chicas live.

Really well run place. Mostly local chicas early 20's, and caters to local customers. I had an amazing time there with a hot (albeit slightly stoned) Cartagenera.

Paid: 190 k all in.

Angeles Club: Mid tier joint that is really well run (the owner / manager is a woman), with quality girls.

Sessioned with a hot paisa there. 2 shots / BBJ / DFK without negotiation nor even request for propina.

Some real hotties there. Plan to go back. Rooms on site where the chicas live.

Paid: 200 k all in.

El Paraiso del Marino: A bit out of town with mostly younger local chicas.

Rooms were of higher standard.

Sessioned with a super hot / toned / tattooed chica who treated me like exercise equipment.

Paid: 220 k all in.

Space: Loud techno, people smoking inside the entrance hallway, dark, full of coked up white men, transexuals and the occasional hot chica.

Struck gold, by finding a super hot, curvy Venezuelan where everything was up for grabs. Pissed off only about the 50 K peso exit fee. Got her number for future ref but unlikely to ever set foot in Space again.

Paid: 50 k exit fee + 150 k to Chica.

Public Spaces.

El Torre Reloj (Clock Tower): Best chicas and best value in my experience and opinion. I have sessioned with around 15 chicas who work the clock tower and have nothing bad to report.

Some have limits. Occasionally no DFK. DATY has always been on the menu but I often don't bother. Though those who do make up for it in other ways.

My flavour is brunette morenas, and there are many bonitas amables in this region.

I also now have a reg in this category who is a real keeper.

Paid: I offer 150 K to all of these girls as standard, which they readily accept.

Beaches: I must be missing something. I have walked the beaches of Bocagrande and El Laguito in the afternoons and encountered only one or two chicas who might be on the game, but lack approachability. Would appreciate some help or insights here.

Apps / Websites.

Tinder: A lot of golden professional chicas here. I met a hot Venezuelan for a super sesh. She rented an apartment herself. This seems common.

Mileroticos.com: Some super hot and quality advertisers here. Most rent apartments in El Lguito. A Cartagenera there named Katalina is a bombshell.

I have visited about 8 chicas from here mostly Cartageneras or Venezuelans. All top notch. Frustrating however that many do not use whatsapp. So your selection may be limited.

Recommend for day action.

Anyway lads, I hope this report helps.

I'd appreciate insights and feedback.

I'm also happy to meet anyone from this group for a beer and a prowl around in CTG.


P.M. me should you join up. Well worth it in my humble opinion.

Dave.

Casa Boutique Veranera. I stayed the a couple of years ago, and it should meet your needs. Has a pool, serves a decent simple breakfast, and very guest friendly. It's a converted villa with maybe 6 rooms. Enjoy!

Are there any reports on ColombiaPure?

I will stop in Cartagena on a cruise. I need a venue suggestion too. Many thanks.


Don't know much at all about this service, but the photos are really impressive. I bit more than normal prices ($120-$130 an hour), but if the quality is what they advertise would be worth it for an agency. Will let everyone knows how it goes.

Probably staying with some other friends at Poseidon. Never been, but looks nice and great location. Hope it's chica friendly!

Just got back from CTG. LDV closed in Laguito and has moved to Old City. About a block and a half from Clock Tower.

Didn't like the setup. Opening night was last night and at midnight there were only like 4 girls.

I took a look at the website colombiapure.com and I would have to say this is legit. Here's why: On my last few trips to CTG I found a guy on mileroticos that was advertising girls. He would show me photos of the girls and picked a few that I liked. Well I have to say that this guys service was legit because the same girl that was in the photo was the same girl that showed up at the door and these chicks were hot. Well here is how all of this relates to Colombia Pure.com. Several of the girls that are now are the same photos that the guy showed me 6 months ago (but I had chosen different girls) . The good news of why I think this is legit is because the girls that are in those photos on Colombia Pure have the "same names" as what the guy told me the girls names were 6 months ago. No I don't think it is the same guy who owns the site Colombia pure. Because what I have found is that as I ran into a few more guys who did the same type of thing (managed a group of girls) I found out that these girls are totally freelance meaning they give there name and photos to several guys who promote them and whoever brings the girl a "client" gets a cut of the fee.

I will be in CTG next week and will also give this service a shot!

I was a huge fan of LDV back in the day when there were super hotties there all the time (over a year ago). Unfortunately its gone down hill. So opening night was a Sunday night? That's an odd night for an opening night especially since CTG is typically a lot quieter on Sunday nights. I will be there the weekend of Oct 21st and will be hanging out near Clock Tower and will give full Fri / Sat reports of this area. Anybody around that wants to meet that weekend for a drink and cruise chicks holler back- I'm good with Espanol and would be happy to help.

I seen that was going to happen. I liked the convenience of walking down there. It was easy. But it was going down hill for awhile. I am heading to CTG in November and have other places and girls that I have seen and know for awhile. I don't go to Isis or pleyboy club. I will just stick with my semi regular clubs in the walled city.

But I did like convenience of LDV.

Just got back from CTG last night and wanted to give you guys a few updates as well.

I had read a lot of stuff on this site before I went down there so I felt relatively prepared.

One missing hole was afternoon mongering, and because I was only down there for 1 day, this was a must. I had to make the most of my time, and did not want to wait till 11 pm to pick up girls at either the Clock Tower or whatever.

I sent in a request on Colombiapure.com 2 days before I left and Jorge got right back to me. I Scheduled 2 girls to meet me at our house at 3 pm.

Then the day of travel my buddy's flight got delayed so I had to whatsapp Jorge when I landed and tell him to push the girls back till 7 pm. He did this with no problem or bitching.

I ended up calling him through whatsapp when I got there as I was getting sick of texting and we chatted on the phone for a while.

He was a super nice guy and incredibly helpful. After explaining to him exactly what we were looking for, Jorge actually suggested 2 different girls that he thought would meet our needs better than what we had selected.

He ended up sending Christina, and Daniela (the exact ones from the website) and they met us at Cafe al Mar for a few drinks before we took them back to our house.

There was a little negotiating to be done back at the house and my Spanish is not great. I called Jorge and he walked / talked me and the girls through the whole thing. It was really nice to have someone there to help manage the negotiation.

It was about $220 US for each girl and they were with us for about 3 to 4 hours. This might sound a bit expensive, and I agree, but to have 2 smoking hot chics show up who were down for whatever for 3+ hours, it was well worth it.

My buddy ended up passing out for a bit since he had been up since 4 am dealing with his flights, so I was lucky enough to knock out both of them while my friend slept.

After they left around 10:30 pm, I woke my buddy up and went out again. We went to the clock tower for an hour and a half and checked out the chics, but more just drinking tons of beers at the little corner bar near Tu Candela.

It was a fun night I think because Colombia had just tied Uruguay in a last minute goal, and everyone was getting shitfaced.

The girls at the tower looked good but I wanted to show my friend Pleyclub as it was his first night ever in CTG.

We got to Pleyclub at 12:30 ish and it was pretty packed. Lots of Colombian guys and lots of girls. There were probably 25-30 girls when we first got there.

It gets a little fuzzy from here as we were pretty drunk, but we spent a bit more that an hour at Pleyclub and pulled 4 girls to come home with us.

They were all hot, but one was a Colombian 9.5 or an American.

They were 620,000 CP each (a bit $$) but worth it. There was tons of ass there.

Got back to the house and started partying and my friend and I both took 2 girls to the rooms and had a blast till 4 am.

All in a great night, my only complaint is that not one of the girls would BBBJ even after much pleading. Maybe this is the new thing as I don't remember that being as issue before?

Unfortunately I can't remember even 1 name of the 4 girls we pulled from Pleyclub cause I was so hammered. I actually called Jorge back this morning to try to help me find the number of one of the girls that I fell for pretty hard so I can see her next time I am in CTG.

Jorge has been helping me to find out who she was. Remember, he had nothing to do with the chics at Pleyclub, he is just being cool trying to help me out as he knows a bunch of girls that work there too.

Anyway, that's it for now, but another great night in CTG. Thanks in part to Colombiapure. Jorge is legit!

I was thinking of the first time I went to LDV in April 2005 and all the hotties that could be had for 80-100 K pesos. I see from these reports it has moved to the old city and that should leave a void in the Laguito / Boca Grande scene so maybe something new will come along. I haven't been in LDV on my last few trips as their new policies and chicas attitudes changed but I was lucky to have experienced it when it was fun. Sad to see it go but not surprised.

Nice Report, I am surprised you had trouble with BBBJ. Personally I will not see a girl that doesn't agree to BBBJ. Here is only reason I can think of that you had that problem. If I read your report correctly you were always with 2 girls. This can be a problem because one doesn't want the other to know what she does. This is why I only take one girl at a time, because I have had issues with this when I had two girls and then sent them home with taxi money but it sucks. Never had a problem when it was just me and one girl. Just my experience. Thanks for your report! I am heading there in November.

While I've been to CTG a few times, seems that there's a lot more options to "order in" than I knew before. For example, Tinder and Mileroticos. I'm curious how fellow mangers experience has been using these site; are most photos real and recent?

I'm curious how fellow mangers experience has been using these site; are most photos real and recent?No girl posts her face on Mileroticos, for obvious reasons. All girls there looks the same: sexy and with fantastic body. While I have seen the ads of some outstanding girls I met in Cartagena before, either at the Reloy or some clubs, it looks too much a lottery to me. Should I pick an ad among dozens, I guess that any girl among those at Reloy may respond. And, among those at Reloy, I would choose less than 5%.

I understand the Face thing but I wouldn't show my face either. , who wants there face plastered all over the Internet for some perverts to see? As long as they show there body, that's important, also if they have a nice body there face usually isn't bad either. I wouldn't want my face on those sites.

Guys,

Please remember that 90% of the girls here you can get for 150 mil pesos or less, if you just bargain a little. Yes, you can justify paying double or triple if you want because somehow "its worth it", but it drives the prices slowly up. Why pay double if you don't really have to?

Luckily, there are a ton of girls here now from Venezuela, and that is helping keep the prices low.

Now, the 5% that meet Black Pages Ultra High standards, you might have to go 200 or 250. But I'm assuming those are all "10's. " Plenty of 8-9's walking around that are going to be better in the sack anyway.

" I did not mean I only take supermodels (who are also super-expensive). I meant that before taking a girl I like to talk with many, feel something, call it "chemistry" (quimica). I almost never took a girl who demanded 300 k, firm and not negotiable. This type of girls makes me run away.

As most people well knows, best experiences are not with best looking dolls. A good experience is made of chemistry, which makes the girl to behave not mechanically.

My last night on my last stay in CTG, I took a couple of girls who were "new" to the Reloy scene. Employed at Europa, they were trying their luck as independent after their 10 hours shift. Not supermodels, but it was a super night for me! They asked 100 k for 1 hour, and agreed to get 200 k for all the night (plus the multa when they returned after 6 am).

So, why do I tell all this? To say that the same girls, now that they are fully independent, have their apartment, got experience, demand 200 k for 1 hour (her word by Whatsapp), and they have lots of customers.

In short, I agree that for a quickie with a decent girl 150 k will be enough in CTG, but the rates for best looking ones usually start from 200 k (and some negotiation may be needed).

Absolutely there going to want 200,000 peso or more for a couple-few hours. But that is not bad. Also I agree 100 percent, I don't like casas on the whole. I much prefer as you say to talk and see if there is some chemistry. I have seen guys grab the hottest girls and can see clearly his time is going to suck with her because clearly she is not interested in him.

I might not get the best looking women but I sure as hell will have a great time and they almost always stay way longer drinking fucking and partying then we agreed on and they want to comeback again the next night.

Here is one of my half ass reports. I would stave as a writer. Clearly on any level! Flew spirit from AC to FL and onto CTG.

Drank from 3 am headed to flight and entire time from arriving a acy airport. Flights were all on time. Round trip with all big front seat and bags was about 6:30.

Had Taxi take me write to Olympica. First I use the Mac card to get money from ATM at airport. I had a nice amount but I got enough for night. Bought bunch of stuff I like fruit mixers for bar etc. 300,000. 00.

Uploaded car at apartment. I am staying in one of Juans Apartments in Laguitto.

Around 4 pm a girl I new arrived at apartment we partied for about 4 hours. She was very good. She likes to tweak while riding you and she is good. Gave her 250,000. 00 peso.

Took nap woke up at 1 am. It's essentially Wedndesday morning. Wasn't sure how clubs would be on Tuesday night / now Wednesday morning. So I said fuck it I will try Colombia pure. Everything went ok. But fuck that, they basically hustle women and get a piece which I understand but you pay way more. It's better to just jump in taxi and get your own. But it was convenient. Only thing good was convenience, girl and me didn't hit it off but she was kool. She stay 2 hours later to party. Then wanted to sleep here but I wasn't ready for all that. So I sent her on her way at 7 AM.

Took Nap went to store. It was very cloudy. I had girl come back at 4 pm that I had seen yesterday. Had a 2 romp and few more drink and went to sleep early. Feel way better. So now it's Thursday Morning and I have one of my regulars coming to my place at eleven tonight for a couple hours. Then my plan is to see how TU Candela is tonight. Also today I will see how beach area is doing and get a massage from my favorite Luce Marina! Also I gonna eat lunch at carbon de palo and drink there Sangri . I love it

Guys,

Please remember that 90% of the girls here you can get for 150 mil pesos or less, if you just bargain a little. Yes, you can justify paying double or triple if you want because somehow "its worth it", but it drives the prices slowly up. Why pay double if you don't really have to?

Luckily, there are a ton of girls here now from Venezuela, and that is helping keep the prices low.

Now, the 5% that meet Black Pages Ultra High standards, you might have to go 200 or 250. But I'm assuming those are all "10's. " Plenty of 8-9's walking around that are going to be better in the sack anyway.Just because 90% of them are 150 k or less doesn't mean that they are fuckable! Everybody's standards are different. The ST range is 150 k-250 k. A few less and a few more. The price for everyone is different. It can vary because of looks, Spanish skills, personality or even time of day. Start your negotiations at 150 k and work your way from there!

Start your negotiations at 150 k and work your way from there!I don't approach and negotiate the ones that aren't fuckable, and I've got pretty high standards after traveling Colombia for the last 15 years. I'm just saying, 150 k is very attainable with most of these girls. They ALWAYS give you their "high" price first if you ask, wouldn't you? I was there last night, talked with maybe 4-5 girls, only one didn't come down to 150 k. That's about how it always is. You just have to be prepared to politely walk away.

I agree that looks, spanish skills, personality, etc can effect negotiations a great deal as you stated.

Is there a short time hotel that you know of in Bocagrande? I know most guys just use their apartments, but when you got a novia, that becomes problematic.

I know a couple in centro, and of course La Jeiba, Cangrejo, San Soucie, etc.

But it would be real convenient to slip in somewhere in Bocagrande. Someone told me there was one by La rebaja, but which one and the specifics they were lacking.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Cartagena was the first city I landed in Colombia. I couldn't have come at a worse time, it was pouring the streets are flooded, just my luck I come during a hurricane and FARC vote. Check in to a hostel near the clock tower. Rain finally stops, I go to the clock tower and I see no apparent chicas, this was turning in to a dud. Walk into a bar guy says no alcohol due to the vote tomorrow, great way to start a vacation. Walk around a bit, stop in the drogueria to get water because it is hot as shit, we don't have this humidity in the south. Finally ask this guy there where all the chicas are (donde esta chicas?) he doesn't understand then after a few hand motions he got it. Gets a guy named Nelson who speaks English, he says he will take me to a casa which is 30 minutes away, I agreed. Why not go 30 minutes away with a stranger, the things we do for pussy. Its a house in a residential area which has a bar, stripper poles, and chicas. There were about 10 girls and a few local guys with the girls. Spot the one I want, start talking to her, thank god she speaks English. Negotiated the price with the guy who ran the place, wanted 900 k for toda la noche, I was like hold up hold up. Got it down to 650 k total, 250 for the house, 400 for girl. This was a great deal, it ended up being 10+ hours. On the way back to the hostel, Nelson gets us a 12 pack Aguila, guess they will sell to locals even though I couldn't get booze anywhere after 6. So the girl is about 5'3 about 115 lbs, nice titties and ass from a city near Cali. 8 looks, 10 body everything natural, 11 attitude. She was really into it, kissing throughout the night, BBBJ CIM. She was down for anything I wanted, we went multiple times. Very laid back chick, my best experience out of the girls from Bogota and Medellin. I have no idea where the casa was and she didn't give me her number either, damn.

I arrived after midnight, very tired after a full day trip from Medellin (I did not travel by bus, I took 9 hours stop over in Bogota).

First, someone tells me that there is a new law that imposes all bars to close at 2 am. Bullshit or truth? If true, it could be really the death of nightlife as I understand that in CTG.

It might be true, because at 2 am the Plaza del Reloy was FULL of girls, overwhelming disproportion vs. The number of guys.

I grabbed two young ones dressed like for the beach (they claimed someone had stolen their bag at the beach and did not know how to go back) and we went to Espace (I added "E" to make it sound local), a. K. a. "Epaice". The shutter was half closed at 3 am. WTF?? Explanation: the ley imposes to close at 2 am, so they close the shutter but keep the party on till 6 am. Ok fine.

La Dolce: Around 10, just about ten girls. Around 12:30, 30+, and a lot of hotties! NO cover.

Inside the clock tower, a butt-load of women, with a good share of hotties. I pulled a stunner for a couple of hours at my (Juan's) Laquito apartment. The later it got, the more women showed up!

Bar Tu Candela:10,000 cover. Around one, the place was packed, mostly with dudes! Did not see a lot of women, because were too many fucking men!

Pley: No cover, and around 1:30, there were 25-30 women in the place. Lots of hotties. I was told 200 ML included the room and girl for 40 minutes.

Happy hunting!

La Dolce: Around 10, just about ten girls. Around 12:30, 30+, and a lot of hotties! NO cover.According to the girl I met yesterday night at Reloy, who works there, at LDV there is a minimum charge of 100 k drinks for those who grab a girl. I remember I read here about 80 k before. It must be the new location thing.

Please note that I was NEVER asked to pay that minimum amount by the waiters the few times I took a girl from LDV. Certainly, when I am there I am not a stingy one, I drink one cocktail minimum and I offer it to say minimum a couple of girls, and I leave tips to waiters, but the key thing is that I always set a meeting somewhere with my girl about half an hour later. <g .


and we went to Espace (I added "E" to make it sound local), a. K. a. "Epaice". The shutter was half closed at 3 am. WTF?? Explanation: the ley imposes to close at 2 am, so they close the shutter but keep the party on till 6 am. Ok fine.Yesterday I have seen one of the worst pages ever. It seems that the Alcalde decided to make Cartagena a better place for tourists and those who voted for him happy. So what? More cleaners around the streets? More security at night out of the walls? Less drugs? Less touts and sellers on the beach? NO. Now all bars must close at 2 am even on Saturday.

You know, there is a lot of people, also in Colombia, who think that the best way to spend the Saturday is at home in front of TV. The Alcalde wants everyone adopt this lifestyle, including the tourists who come here and spend a lot of money to sustaing the local economy.

So, at 2 am, a huge force of Policia Metropolitana, some officers with red jacket, professional photo operators (local press? Police agents?) moved compact to fight the vice and the crime. No, they did not look for pandilleros, but they went to Space to enforce the closing. Drama with the manager complaining strongly, the photo operators grabbing the scene and the customers, et cetera et cetera (fu*cking autocorrector, I must write it complete to avoid the mess and the need to re-edit my text).

I think that yesterday the boss of Space omitted to pay his bribe to someone, because the Tu Candela was open till after 4 am instead (front door closed, but vibrating because of the music inside, back door open, usual 10 k cover). WTF. What's the purpose to close bars at 2 am on Saturday?? To make the Centro silent and lonely like years ago, when it was a dangeros place?

Most of the time I did but after that I always did the "meet me outside" thing whether I drank enough or not. If the girl is a veteran she will say she don't care and vamos. It is mostly the new girls that are scared and want to follow the rules.

Cartagena is 100% better for me and to my speed. Chicas are out on the beach during the day and start going to the old city at night.

It took me 30 minutes of walking the beach before I met a blanquita from (drum beat) Medellin with a nice set of buttcheeks (Nalgas). Bought her a couple of beers and we both got hats for 30 k which was too much I think. Got ripped off for the beers but fuck it. She said let's not come here anymore.

She said she would spend time with me for 200 k. We fucked went to the old city for lunch, chatted a fuck load. I got her a ticket to go to Playa Blanca with me tommorow and she is bringing her shit over. I am going to give her about 200 k a day at the end which I think is fair.

The only additonal expense is the new bikini I bought her but fuck it. She's letting me go bareback. This shit is super rare.

Fuck the touts on the beach. Rip off artists. Don't deal with them at all.

Summary of my five days in Cartagena:

Day 1: I just explored the beach and Torre del Reloj. There are girls on the beach in the afternoon and I'd say starting around 9 pm the girls start showing up at Torre del Reloj in the old city. I was too tired my first day to pick up any so I just went home after having a quick dinner. I also found LDV by asking a working girl to show it to me. I felt sorry for her because she was Venezuelan and really desperate for a date (you could see the sadness in her eyes when I refused her) so I gave her 20 k for the 15 minutes I took from her time and wished her and her friend luck. These Venezuelans are going through a very rough time right now. It doesn't hurt to show them a little extra kindness with a propina.

Day 2: Got a tout to "call" me a girl. This was in the morning. I quickly realized these dudes are scam artists that just act as middle men. I'm pretty sure you can buy your own beers from the small bars on the beach in Bocagrande, get your own breakfast etc. But alas I had to learn the lesson the hard way. The girl didn't show up until noon, and I got a message from WhatsApp to come down. She was a beautiful blanquita from Medellin. I have more on her backstory further down with some interesting info on the Isis club. We immediately got to talking and I ordered us a couple of beers. The conversation was going very well. She was surprised at my level of Spanish (and frankly I was surprised at how well I was speaking). By the end of the conversation we were both laughing and getting a good vibe. Before getting the bill from the tout for the drinks, I mentioned I would prefer to go with no condom with her. I told her very plainly that my previous long term relationship with a working girl was all bareback and that I was used to that. She thought about it for a moment and asked me if I ever had an STD. I told her never because I prefer to only stick to one girl for a long period of time.

It's actually true. You lower your risk level significantly by having sex with fewer partners so sticking to one lowers that even more.

In any case, the inflated bill arrived, I got angry, and discussed it with the tout for a good 15 minutes before I just paid him in disgust. The girl told me, as we walked back to my apartment building, never to order anything from those guys.

The initial service was excellent. French kissing, blow job, bare back sex. Full of energy and wild. I loved it. After I finished in her for the second time I realized it was getting late and we were both hungry. We showered, got dressed, and headed into the old city for some lunch. We talked about all kinds of topics while holding hands and exploring in the heat. Then we went back to the apartment for more fucking, followed by a siesta, dinner, and a bit of dancing. She also brought her travel bag over with all her clothes. At this point I had only paid her 200 k.

Quick note about the chica: She spent the entire time with me. She made breakfast every day. Made coffee everytime she thought I wanted one. Cleaned the apartment when it needed some cleaning and even did my laundry. Very very good girl who was always aiming to please. Sometimes too much. She would never assert herself and I found it hard to gauge what she did not like because of it.

Day 3: I had a ticket to Playa Blanca so I paid the tourist guy for a second ticket and we both went. Touts were everywhere. It wasn't the worst experience since I learned how to deal with them but still, we ended up paying a guy 50 k just to watch our shit while we went out on a jet ski. We were fucking tired by 6 pm when we got back to the apartment so we mostly just slept in and ate fast food. We did get up by 11 pm I decided to discuss her full payment as there were two days left. I told her I'd give her 200 k a day for a total of 800 k. She agreed but on the condition that I paid an additional 100 k per day for a "multa" or fine she had to pay. This piqued my interest so I nicely asked her to explain her situation:

Evidently she lived in a house with 30 other women, and she claimed 5 were in a room with her. Now remember to take this all with a grain of salt. Evidently she's a dancer at Isis occasionally to supplement her income. On days she does not work she has to pay 100 k to the "empressa," because they fly her in from Medellin to work and not sit around. Now which business that is I didn't ask but I started to get a picture of things. She said it's not easy money but quick money to work there so when she accumulates debt she takes vacation time from her work to fly to Cartagena and work the club. She told me she was done working that club (not sure if that's true but whatever) because she didn't like the customers.

Day 4: I had some Colombian friends visiting Cartagena. So after breakfast I offered to buy her a new camisa. She surprisingly resisted. When we went in she kept asking me which camisa she should get. I encouraged her to find one she likes. She eventually tried on a couple and I pointed to a nice one piece dress she could get for the night. I ended up buying all three for a little over $100. She looked more normal in the new shirt and less slutty. My Colombian friends would not approve of a prepago. I think one of them suspected but I assured her the girl I brought with me was just a Colombian girl interested in meeting an extranjero. My Colombian friends left Cartagena around 4 pm. They were doing a roadtrip all the way to Santa Marta to visit family. The girl and I went back to my apartment, fucked, slept in, and then got dressed for a night out on the town. This included dinner, doing the coach tour in the old city and hitting up Tu Candela for drinks and dancing. She looked stunning in the new dress I bought her.

Day 5: We mostly spent in the apartment eating whatever food we had left in the fridge and fucking. My flight was late in the afternoon. She helped me pack, and made sure all my clothes were cleaned and folded.

Great girl. I told her after navidad we could do something in January or February. She told me she was happy to go exploring other countries with me. I asked if I would have to pay her for her time and she said I wouldn't. But we'll see.

Some additional notes:

* A girl on tinder wanted 300 k for 2 hours. I told her 150 k for one hour and she refused. Offering 200 k for 1 hour sin condom for the blowjob part. Naturally I didn't bother as I had already met this girl.

* This girl has a real corporate job with four weeks of vacation a year. I think this fits the definition of "semi pro. ".

* There's an on-and-off novio in the mix who looks a bit like me hahaha. The last long-term hooker I had had the same thing. It's weird that way. It's like they fight with their novio then run off with the foreigner for a couple of months, then go back, and on and on it goes.

Cartagena is more expensive than Medellin. The only thing cheap about it was the great apartment I got with a huge balcony over looking the ocean on Bocagrande. Everything else cost more.

Have fun!

EDIT: BTW, the girls in the Torre del Reloj are independents at least according to the chica I was with. Also from what I could see they all dress mostly elegantly. I saw very little obvious slutiness. You could easily take one out dancing and then back to your place for fucking. Something I wished I could do but the chica would have split on me if I pulled that shit.

What you're doing can be dangerous if you're susceptible to developing feelings for these girls. If you know you won't develop feelings, then it's not a problem, but it can happen to the most cold-hearted hobbyist. And it always ends badly.

Otherwise it's one girl after another saying no to bareback.

100% right. The last one drove me a bit over the wall when she wanted to quit her prepago job and go straight. She had every opportunity to just get a regular job and enough support from her wealthy family to do so. Instead she fucked it up, and my hopes of her becoming a regular girlfriend quickly vanished. I'm much more realistic now.

I arrived after midnight, very tired after a full day trip from Medellin (I did not travel by bus, I took 9 hours stop over in Bogota). For future visits, you may want to try flying on Viva Colombia which is a low cost airline using Airbus A320 jet aircraft. I have seen them advertise round trip (nonstop) between Cartagena and Medellin for the equivalent of $50 (US). No advance purchase required. They do have a web site so you can book online. I think they fly to states (Miami). Just FYI.

Haven't checked on prices to CTG, but have seen as low as $75 Miami to BOG and regularly have $100 one way flights Miami to Medellin.

For December their one way prices from Cartagena to Medellin run from 60 k to 143 k pesos, except one day where the price is 350 k. Most days are between 70 k and 113 k.

Or, if you're thinking of taking your new novia someplace special bring her up to Manizales or meet her in Medellin and fly out to Nuqui. As a bonus, both are probably cheaper than Cartagena.

Of course, if you're hunting for a fresh piece, neither of those places are a good destination, but if you want to make an impression.

Logistics:

Flight:

I flew United round trip from San Diego for $980 and some change. Last trip, I flew through Panama each way. But this trip I flew into Bogota, and had to transfer to an Avianca flight. A week before I left, I had a 1. 5 hour layover, which was fine with me. But the day before I left, fucking Avianca cut my layover to only 45 minutes. Having to go through immigration and customs, and walking around that long ass airport, there was no way I could make the damn connection! Pinche Avianca ended up putting me in a crappy hotel that served crappy food to boot; thus, I lost one night in Cartagena!

Airport:

The airport in Cartagena is small. There was no ATM that I could find. But there was a place to exchange money, so I exchanged enough for the taxi and one night on the town. Taxi was 18 K to the apartment, and 20 K when I returned.

Money:

The currency in Cartagena is Pesos. The airport rate sucked, but I was in need for the day. The exchange place I used in town was 2770 pesos to one dollar. Passport was required! When I ran out of dollars / pesos, I abused the ATMs nearby my apartment.

Apartment / Juan:

Once again, I stayed at one of Juan's rental apartments. It was a big 2 bedroom located on the beach in El Laguito for $85 per night. I had a large balcony overlooking the pool and beach / ocean. Apartment was equipped with WiFi, wide screen TV, A / see in each room, and 24 hour security. Security check the IDs of all the girls and logged their information in a ledger. There was housekeeper service available, but I did not need the service.

I will tell you one thing, Juan and his sidekick, Adolfo, are one class act. Every e-mail was answered quickly, and everything went smoothly with the apartment. The porteros at the apartment were also great!

Communication:

Because I have the T-Mobile North American plan, life was quite easy. My plan gave me unlimited data at 2 G speed, calls at 20 cents per minute, and free texts. Thus, I started using WhatsApp on my regular phone. I started chatting with chicas before I left. As long as I had a WiFi signal, WhatsApp was free of charge. I was chatting on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Skype; including video calls for no charge whatsoever.

Transportation:

Taxis were always available and quite cheap; 6, 7, and 8 K were the norm around town.

Safety:

I felt completely safe walking around the various areas I visited. Cartagena is the tourist capital of Colombia. On the weekend, many families poured into town from all over Colombia.

Food:

I ate several restaurants; here are my thoughts:

Arepas Pues. Excellent.
Intriga Tropical. Very good.
Conde de la Cruz. Sucked.
Paco's. Sucked.
Riquisimo BBQ. Was good last trip, but the place went downhill.
Anaflecha. Good late night drunk food.
Street food in the Walled City. Excellent.

BTW, there was Subway in the Walled City; oh the shame!

The Beach:

Playa Hollywood had a very mixed crowd. When facing the ocean, the gay section is on the left, and all others are to the right. I read and noted a lot about the beach in advance. BUT, I still had issues with some of the beach venders. Some, would not take no for a answer. I had this conversation a few time:

Me: No gracias.
Vendor: Doesn't leave.
Me: No gracias.
Vendor: Doesn't leave.
Me: Hablas espaol?
Vendor: Si.
Me: No quiero nada de nadie!
Vendor: Finally moves on.

I sat in Fao's section, the section next to Fat Tony's. Yes, Fat Tony is still a pest and is always begging for a beer; fuck him! Fao's wife, Emily gives killer massages and I had one each day that I was there! Because of the rainy weather, I only had three beach days and they were enjoyable for the most part. There were a good amount of freelancers on the beach, but I did not partake even though I spoke to a few of them. All and all, Fao and Emily are hard working honest folks and I highly recommend them to anyone that visits Playa Hollywood.

Just inside the Clock Tower:

What a scene! Every night there were freelancers all over the place. The girls were asking for 100/150/200 K per hour. Many of the girls were hot, some were just scary. I pulled four girls from the place and all were a blast in the apartment. The girls are happy if you buy them a beer and sit and chat about future wedding plans and such.

Cupid Girls. I had three lined up to meet, two were a no show, one showed but wasn't worth my time or effort; I kicked her ass to the curb, and then picked up a hottie inside the clock tower.

Tinder. The women on Tinder that are in for the money are easily identified. In their profile, they describe themselves as "scort" or "dama de compaia. " I was in contact with several during my trip, but nothing ever panned out. Either they were too busy or wanted too much money, thus, I did not think it was worth the effort or hassle. But, I urge others to give it a try. Some others have had success with Tinder, maybe I was just too fucking lazy to follow through.

Conclusion:

Cartagena had a lot more to offer, I barely scratched the surface of clubs and the girls. I did have a great time and I will return someday, when, not sure. I feel that knowing some Spanish is a must because many of these girls speak no English. At times, I felt challenged with the Spanish that I know. I felt completely safe throughout the entire trip. Yes, the place is a tad expensive compared to other monger destinations, but I just had to return and explore the city more; glad I did!

That's interesting. My chica / novia / working girl went with me and we didn't pay a cover charge Saturday night. Place was packed with couples. If there were any working girls it wasn't obvious at all. I wouldn't go to Tu Candela for hookers. I'd take a hooker there if you wanted to do some reggaeton. Seeing as its right in front of the clock tower I see no reason for hookers to sit in there in the first place.

Out of the arrivals of the CTG airport, all people is sent to the left, to a window where a girl issues coupons specifying the fee for taxi rides. One says the destination and the girl gives the coupon. For Laguito / Bocagrande, the fee is 18 k. I always leave 20 k including a small tip.

According to the girl I met yesterday night at Reloy, who works there, at LDV there is a minimum charge of 100 k drinks for those who grab a girl. I remember I read here about 80 k before. It must be the new location thing.

Please note that I was NEVER asked to pay that minimum amount by the waiters the few times I took a girl from LDV. Certainly, when I am there I am not a stingy one, I drink one cocktail minimum and I offer it to say minimum a couple of girls, and I leave tips to waiters, but the key thing is that I always set a meeting somewhere with my girl about half an hour later. <g .

Yesterday I have seen one of the worst pages ever. It seems that the Alcalde decided to make Cartagena a better place for tourists and those who voted for him happy. So what? More cleaners around the streets? More security at night out of the walls? Less drugs? Less touts and sellers on the beach? NO. Now all bars must close at 2 am even on Saturday.

You know, there is a lot of people, also in Colombia, who think that the best way to spend the Saturday is at home in front of TV. The Alcalde wants everyone adopt this lifestyle, including the tourists who come here and spend a lot of money to sustaing the local economy.

So, at 2 am, a huge force of Policia Metropolitana, some officers with red jacket, professional photo operators (local press? Police agents?) moved compact to fight the vice and the crime. No, they did not look for pandilleros, but they went to Space to enforce the closing. Drama with the manager complaining strongly, the photo operators grabbing the scene and the customers, et cetera et cetera (fu*cking autocorrector, I must write it complete to avoid the mess and the need to re-edit my text).

I think that yesterday the boss of Space omitted to pay his bribe to someone, because the Tu Candela was open till after 4 am instead (front door closed, but vibrating because of the music inside, back door open, usual 10 k cover). WTF. What's the purpose to close bars at 2 am on Saturday?? To make the Centro silent and lonely like years ago, when it was a dangeros place?My sources told me this new closing time was implemented because Space and VIP were not sticking to the 4 AM closing time. I don't agree with them penalizing everyone over it, but as usual a few ruin it for the many.

The freelancer is awesome in Cartagena. Too bad Medellin doesn't have it. The only downside is there are no 30 k casas like Medellin.

YippieKayay,

Great report. Thanks.

I agree that its true that you lower your risk level significantly by having sex with fewer partners. But I think that even dating with just one pro could risky. I feel always afraid of STD. Even using condoms I feel insecure. Does it happen to anyone? Am I exaggerating?

I was in Cartagena late November. I took a pro from LDV. It cost me $ 200 for couple of hours. We went to "La jaiba".

At Tu Candela the cocktails were 30 k a pop, which is about $10 USD. Even then they were huge cocktails and a maximum of two were enough for me.

You should choose your own level of risk. Personally I'm not comfortable fucking more than a 2-3 girls a year bareback. It's a stats game for me. Have not caught an STD yet but did get a bit of a fungal infection with one chica who evidently had a bad yeast infection. That cleared up with some cream in a couple of weeks.

Here are the stats from the CDCC on HIV transmission risk:

No one has said a word, ever, to me in LDV about a minimum spend. In the hundreds of times I've been in LDV, I've noticed it happening to guys who are only there to use the venue without patronizing the bar. It's a bar, that's the business thet are in; why go in to shit on them?

Walk the streets, go to casas, sit on a bench at the clock tower, but don't be a jerk and intentionally go to LDV to hookup with girls with the mindset of not patronizing the place. Lame.

But not everybody rolls that way, some people have a travel budget, and others want to feel like they get value for their hard earned money.

Personally, I've got the means to do it either way, but I find no reason to set foot in LDV and rarely do, when there are so many other better options in Cartagena. The quality of the girls in LDV is not high enough to justify the much higher total bill at the end of the night.

I'd just as soon see them go out of business to discourage others from adopting their business model.

It only makes sense to get a bottle. It is a lot cheaper than getting individual drinks. Going as a group and nursing beers, I find that in bad taste. All I am saying is that there are a variety of situations.

Said that, any club in CTG during the weekend is a feast for the eyes: Fragma, Babar, Tu Candela, Eivissa, VIP, Mr. Babilla,...
(Warning: sexy girls dancing there are NOT necessarily working girls. In most cases, they are not. I assume a reader of this forum is able to discriminate without specific instructions).
There is even an after-hour disco (Morros).
Strip clubs, etc? Why nobody here reads the List? There is even a map.

It's not random to enforcee on guys who are known users and takers.Exactly. I must say that LDV is not my type of place: most girls there are greedy and start from 300 k for 1 hour, the same girls who at Reloy are happy with 150 k (not a claim: experienced). But if I go to LDV, I drink and I pay drinks to girls. We go there to enjoy and be happy.

I've been here in CTG for 2 days. Flew in on Spirit from Fort Lauderdale. Purchased ticket 5 hours before flight departure, paid $376 and then $60 more to pre-pay 1 check back in each direction.

Staying in Hampton Hotel. $106/ night first 2 nights, rebooked today for $93/ night (taxes included on rates I show). Very nice hotel, no chica issues here. I previously reported this hotel.

Wednesday I ventured out to new LDV and Isis. New LDV has annoying lights that will strobe past your eyes every 3-5 seconds in most seats. Very annoying. Only 7 chicas around 11:15 pm. I went in at 10:45, only about 4 chicas. Just turned around and left. At 11:15 pm, I needed to sit down after standing / walking lot near the clock tower. I had a plain coke for 5 K. Rested 10 minutes and left. For my 2 cents, if a bar is "dead" I will walk in and walk out no matter where the bar is, USA, Colombia or wherever. Often times like this night I may come back later to see if there is a crowd. No need to hang out if the place doesn't have what I'm looking for.

Isis. Isis hasn't changed much. I saw about 12 girls. 4-5 in conversations with guys and no other guests. This place almost always seems very quiet to me. Average chica here is 25-26 and 20 pounds overweight. Nothing special to my eyes. Place is dark so maybe I missed something. Girls seem uninspired. I got a bottle of water, 14 K, relaxed 15 minutes and left.

Torre de Reloj (Clock Tower). This place is like the boardwalk in Atlantic City. Lots of people coming and going continually, especially 8 am - 1 pm. Right now there are a lot of Colombian tourists and many extra Christmas lights that are up. This is the busiest I've ever seen the walled city in terms of regular tourists. The chicas come out in force between 10-11 pm. There were 30-45 chicas here at any one time. Some well dressed, some casual clothes and some who look like they could use some cleaning up. I met a 24 yo Venezuelan who looked 20. She was very calm and didn't give me the overt "Hello, eyes" when we made eye contact. She wore tourist style dress, flat shoes and didn't look like a working girl in most respects, except she was sitting on a bench in the clock tower plaza. She asked for 200 K for the hour. I said 250 K for 1. 5 hours and she quickly agreed. I don't like the rush experience This tactic worked again with a different chica on Thursday night, counter offering initial price with slightly higher price for 1. 5 x the time. At 200 K, they are charging $67 for first hour and then you are getting the next 30 minutes for $17. Very good connection and GFE with this one. I gave her 300 K because of strong connection and knowing how tough life is in Venezuela now. Wanted to repeat but she didn't use my phone number or return to clock tower on Thursday night. I paid 24 K for 90 minutes in short-time hotel. Place was 2 blocks from main plaza.

Tinder: I used Tinder and make 8-10 matches. Prices quoted on Tinder were 200-300 K per hour and 1 500 K for TLN. I strongly prefer to see the person live in person before agreeing to spend 1+ hours with someone. I met one who didn't live up to her pictures. The pictures were the same girl but she appeared slightly average and flat-chested in person. 2 of the hotter Tinder chicas I saw in the Clock Tower plaza. They are very attractive but seem to know it and give off a veteran vibe which turns me off. I usually go for 18-21 newer to the business chica.

On Tinder there are many beautiful Colombianas. Though making a "match" and being able to contact them is something separate. I've tried matching with "less attractive" Tinder girls to use them to network to their friends but that has only provided 1 average looking referral (her cousin) so far.

Daytime. Daytime is the challenge in Cartagena. Prime hours in CTG for meeting someone are 9:30 pm - 4 am. Trying to meet someone in public from 12 pm - 6 pm is more challenging. Best source is Playa Hollywood or a casa. I'm not a casa guy and I loathe Tony at Playa Hollywood. I took a few phone numbers from chicas at the clock tower to give me some options for daytime.

I'd really like to hang on the beach with a skinny 20 yo in her bikini for an hour or two and then go the room for some fun. Hopefully I can make that happen today.

Thursday night I was about to go to Pley Club to check that out and before getting to the taxi I met a petite (4'10') Venezuelan. She said she was 18 (looked it) but turned out to be 22 when I went to verify her age. Had I not seen her age I could have believed easily she was 18. She had beautiful, silky smooth long brown hair. Actually so did the other Venezuelan from the night before. I'm a huge fan of long, straight dark hair. This petite thing was very GFE with me. I got BBJ after showering myself. So much fun to see a beautiful young women with gorgeous long brown hair taking care of business. Very satisfying. I also got 200 K quote and she quickly accepted 250 K for 1. 5 hours. Maybe I could play "hardball" and get better rates but $83 USD for 90 minutes is about 15-20 minutes and 4 lap dances in the US. She is single mother with 1 year old. Has see-section scar which is only real flaw with her body.

Thanks to those who have shared useful info before me (so I didn't go to old LDV to find it closed and wonder where the new place was).

Nice report! I think you could've asked 200 k for an hour and half service and they probably would say yes. Give it a shot and see if it works. How's the weather in CTG right now?


I've been here in CTG for 2 days. Flew in on Spirit from Fort Lauderdale. Purchased ticket 5 hours before flight departure, paid $376 and then $60 more to pre-pay 1 check back in each direction.

Staying in Hampton Hotel. $106/ night first 2 nights, rebooked today for $93/ night (taxes included on rates I show). Very nice hotel, no chica issues here. I previously reported this hotel.

Wednesday I ventured out to new LDV and Isis. New LDV has annoying lights that will strobe past your eyes every 3-5 seconds in most seats. Very annoying. Only 7 chicas around 11:15 pm. I went in at 10:45, only about 4 chicas. Just turned around and left. At 11:15 pm, I needed to sit down after standing / walking lot near the clock tower. I had a plain coke for 5 K. Rested 10 minutes and left. For my 2 cents, if a bar is "dead" I will walk in and walk out no matter where the bar is, USA, Colombia or wherever. Often times like this night I may come back later to see if there is a crowd. No need to hang out if the place doesn't have what I'm looking for.

Isis. Isis hasn't changed much. I saw about 12 girls. 4-5 in conversations with guys and no other guests. This place almost always seems very quiet to me. Average chica here is 25-26 and 20 pounds overweight. Nothing special to my eyes. Place is dark so maybe I missed something. Girls seem uninspired. I got a bottle of water, 14 K, relaxed 15 minutes and left.

Torre de Reloj (Clock Tower). This place is like the boardwalk in Atlantic City. Lots of people coming and going continually, especially 8 am - 1 pm. Right now there are a lot of Colombian tourists and many extra Christmas lights that are up. This is the busiest I've ever seen the walled city in terms of regular tourists. The chicas come out in force between 10-11 pm. There were 30-45 chicas here at any one time. Some well dressed, some casual clothes and some who look like they could use some cleaning up. I met a 24 yo Venezuelan who looked 20. She was very calm and didn't give me the overt "Hello, eyes" when we made eye contact. She wore tourist style dress, flat shoes and didn't look like a working girl in most respects, except she was sitting on a bench in the clock tower plaza. She asked for 200 K for the hour. I said 250 K for 1. 5 hours and she quickly agreed. I don't like the rush experience This tactic worked again with a different chica on Thursday night, counter offering initial price with slightly higher price for 1. 5 x the time. At 200 K, they are charging $67 for first hour and then you are getting the next 30 minutes for $17. Very good connection and GFE with this one. I gave her 300 K because of strong connection and knowing how tough life is in Venezuela now. Wanted to repeat but she didn't use my phone number or return to clock tower on Thursday night. I paid 24 K for 90 minutes in short-time hotel. Place was 2 blocks from main plaza.

CTG is not MDE. In MDE local folks patronize clubs, in CTG mostly tourists patronize clubs.

Said that, any club in CTG during the weekend is a feast for the eyes: Fragma, Babar, Tu Candela, Eivissa, VIP, Mr. Babilla,...
(Warning: sexy girls dancing there are NOT necessarily working girls. In most cases, they are not. I assume a reader of this forum is able to discriminate without specific instructions).
There is even an after-hour disco (Morros).
Strip clubs, etc? Why nobody here reads the List? There is even a map.


Exactly the type of guys that LDV wants to keep away from their door. Backpakers and those on a tight budget have plenty of options at Calle de la Media Luna.

Exactly. I must say that LDV is not my type of place: most girls there are greedy and start from 300 k for 1 hour, the same girls who at Reloy are happy with 150 k (not a claim: experienced). But if I go to LDV, I drink and I pay drinks to girls. We go there to enjoy and be happy.


PS: I am going back to CTG. Wish me good luck :pBlackPage,

You made quite a leap here. I specifically said in my report that I had the means to spend however much money at LDV that I wanted to, but that in the interest of not blatantly wasting money, I chose not to. Hell, I'd buy the place if I wanted to. But it sucks, so I won't.

Anyone who chooses not to be ripped off at LDV (which is what it is. A rip-off tourist trap) has numerous other options to get just as high quality girls while spending much less. And those options don't involve Calle de la media Luna, which BTW I'm betting you haven't been to lately.

Kyle,

Thanks for your detailed report, sounds like your trip was a good time. If I could offer one bit of advice. The next time you are negotiating a price with a working girl, and they offer a price for one hour and you want an hour and a half, just tell them you will agree to their price, but for 1. 5 hours, not 1.

I guarantee you 99.9% of them will agree to this in heartbeat. 80 % would accept a lower price and 1. 5 hours. Try it. You're the only person I've ever known that makes a counter offer higher than their original price, which BTW, is always high.

And please try to get comparisons to the USA out of your mind. When you're in Colombia, pay Colombian prices. Example: You take a taxi and the fare is 10 thousand pesos, do you give him 30 thousand because in the USA it would have cost you 30 dollars?

EDIT: I see Judd offered the same advice, good call Bro, didn't mean to ride your coattails.

Friday. Lot of rain during the day. The street in front of Hampton was like a 1 foot high river.

There are always some that try to save a few bucks in a third world country. But, as long as you had fun and used your money; who gives a fuck.

It sounds like you had a great time; that's what's important.

Thank you for the report.

The other touts will get you a chica if you don't spot any yourself. I didn't need to go to Playa Hollywood to get a daytime chica. Never met Tony who sounds like a nightmare.

I think the ones you see walking the beach just got done with a client and decided to walk around to see if they can get another.

On the other hand, if you're a newbie you'll pay him double or triple what you would pay the other guys.

But don't look at it like you got taken advantage of, tell yourself that it still cost less than it would if you were in Miami.

And as long as you have a good time and spend money, who gives a fuck? You had a great time at the beach, that's what's important.

On the other hand, if you're a newbie you'll pay him double or triple what you would pay the other guys.I'm open for tips on dealing with the touts, Tony included. Last time I got fucked as per my report. For 2 beers, a pina colada, and breakfast the tout asked for 125 k. I think somewhere in there is a commission for calling a girl. The breakfast he just got from across the street. This wasn't in Playa Hollywood but the beaches in Boca grande. Maybe 125 k wasn't so bad. The regular vendor touts who sell crap were insane. One vendor on Playa Blanca tried to sell me and the girl a couple of stupid bead bracelets for 60 k. He'd been watching our stuff for a half hour while we went Jet Sking so I paid him 50 k for everything but I still thought he was out of his god damn mind.

I'll say this much. Stay the fuck away from Playa Blanca. It's crowded and full of touts who won't give you 2 minutes of peace. I'm going to try the islands next time I'm there.

And those options don't involve Calle de la media Luna, which BTW I'm betting you haven't been to lately.How much was the bet? You lost. <g>.
I went there more often and more times than most people reading here, I guess. Last time today around 7 pm.

I don't argue your opinion about LDV. I don't disagree! I don't like to waste money (I don't have) and I never liked LDV, specifically. I've never been a regular patron there.

I was commenting those people who think they can go to a bar, exploiting (not using) the resources, grab a girl, and all this for a 10k bill. Who is the owner? A charity manager?

About Calle de la Media Luna, it changed a lot in the last 10 years, but still fits what I wrote: it's where all those on a tight budget go to have a drink at night (not to find a girl, which is never cheap in CTG). It's not anymore a den of ladrones and dubious characters, but it's where all backpackers and budget travellers stay.

Don't take me wrong, I like it! There are some very nice places to have a drink, stilish and cozy, but mixed with bars full of young backpackers and even a bar patronized by local reggaetoneros. Some girls working at Plaza del Reloy stay at cheap hostales on Calle de la Media Luna and nearby alleys.

If one likes a cheap fuck with a fattie black not-so-young girl, there is still the group of SW waiting at beginning of the street, in front of the Parque.
