Where is the best place to exchange money. On other trips I used ATMs at the airport and around town. Do they have an ATM at the airport. Probably a stupid question but want to be prepared.

You say you are staying in El Laguito on 1 B. Just where the road forks at the northern end of the El Laguito area there is a place called Riquisimo BBQ. It doesn't look like much and I am not saying they are gourmet but they have a wood burning grill and do a pretty good flame broiled "baby beef" served Argentinian style with chimichurri, ( about ten dollars US)I would not recommend any other steak here its kind of tough, the baby beef is good though. They do other things to of course and the fresh fish that comes off their grill is decent also. I have found myself at Riquisimo a lot while staying in El Laguito because it stays open later than most places that close at 10 pm.

Sorry but I am not a big fan of Ceviche, but ironically the one place that I tried it was a restaurant in Cartagena, I prefer my seafood grilled or scampi. The place that I tried Ceviche in Cartagena is long gone since that was 2008.

this place is right near the clock tower has maintained a perfect 5 rating out of over 900 hundred reviews ( it must be the shit) ! So if you want ceviche than I am betting this would be the place. One of the reviews said Anthony Bourdain (RIP) made the place famous and another review said the prices are fair but the servings are small. Looks to right on Plaza de Los Coches near the Hard Rock Cafe - Hell I did not even like ceviche the one time I tried it but I may even try it here the next time I visit

Never been to Cartagena. Have been to other places in Colombia.

My plan is to fly to Cartagena, rent a car and drive along the coast hopefully with a rented honey. I do not know how feasible it is and how safe. I do not plan to drive at night and hoping the honey will provide some safety and point me in the right direction. Watching some UTube presentation it is beautiful along the coast.

Watching some UTube presentation it is beautiful along the coast.Years ago it would have been crazy. Now Colombia is safe and enjoyable, unless you go to wrong places. You can do it, and you may like it a lot, but there is a number of caveat to warn you about:

1) COVID does not exist?

2) Do you speak Spanish fluently? If not, forget it.

3) You cannot "rent a honey" for such a long trip. Your compaignon must be trusted 101%, and there must be some real feeling. It is difficult to spend a whole night with a "rented honey" if there is not enough chemistry, imagine a week out of town. I doubt you can find such a person in few days. If the girl is not special, and if she does not consider you special as well, the trip can easily become a nightmare.

In short, I would advise to do it next year, if you speak fluent Spanish, without a lady, and not on your first trip to Colombia. In all other cases, it's a NO.

Carbon de Pollo on Calle 6 is very good.OMG! "Chicken Charcoal"??
The name is *Carbon DE PALO*!!

Why not making a search for "restaurant" in this thread. Plenty of posts, comments and countercomments. I wrote a few too. Many excellent restaurants in Cartagena, but real quality is in Centro, not in Bocagrande.

I ate there twice, it was 2 blocks from where I was staying. Great steaks and chicken for about half to 2/3 the price in the USA. Took a chica there one night and had a wonderful meal, the filets are large and tasty. She had the chicken and it was very good too. I also had good meals at El Muele and Hamachi. Had a good fish dinner at Muelle with the chica and it was a nice romantic uncrowded oceanfront meal. Hamachi has very good sushi and I live in San Diego where we have a lot of great sushi. Service was good to excellent at all 3.

I'm staying in laguito. But I'm definitely planning on having dinner in centro every night. Can't wait!Stayed in Laguito on my 1st trip in Feb (Superbowl weekend). Never ate anywhere else but Laguito. Had everything we wanted within walking distance. But for me I basically keep it simple and eat a sandwich or Arroz con pollo (rice with chicken). One place in Laguito that shares a driveway with a pizza shop, had good food for the price to me. Next time I stay in Laguito, I'll learn to take the city bus around. A lot of nice true working girls on the buses.

Returning again this in Feb for Superbowl weekend but staying in el Centro this time to see the difference between staying at the 2 places (Centro and Laguio). I know Centro will be more expensive in terms of meals, but not having to take the cab makes up for it. Should be easy to find my dinner spot, but I want a place that has the best looking waitresses in Centro or Getsemani. Anyone have info on that?

In terms of action, LDV, Space and Clock tower were the places. No need for Tinder or any online social media to meet someone. They were everywhere this past Feb. Those in the clock tower would walk to LDV and Space. Those in Space would walk back-and-forth to LDV. Same girls in diff't locations. I never paid more than 300 K all night (got a most for 200 K all night) and I never paid more than 125 K for ST. Speaking a little Spanish and having a sense of humor does help with negotiating prices.

I got a lot of info off this site for my 1st trip. Thanks to all for the info. Bringing my best friend along this next time so he can experience what I did.

Oh BTW, Cartagena has some great scuba diving. I had 4 dives in Feb.

2. Can manage Spanish, not fluent with various dialect. Have managed very well with previous trips.

3. Will spend few days in Cartagena. Maybe I will get a honey. Have done it in DR and Costa Rica. Always rented a car and traveled all over.

Not planning to rent a car and drive alone along the coast. Need to have a local honey to make it interesting. It does not have to be total honeymoon type. Mainly a business transaction with sex thrown in. I am good in judging girls to see who will be good company and carefree.

For the first trip I need a companion. Once I get the lay of the land I can be more adventurous. My main worry was the safety.

Thanks for your honest opinion.

Where is the best place to exchange money. On other trips I used ATMs at the airport and around town. Do they have an ATM at the airport. Probably a stupid question but want to be prepared.There is of course a place in the airport and places all over to exchange money but most people say it is best to just use am ATM. I have said this in other posts but it bears repeating. Make sure you alert your bank that you are traveling! I have been in Colombia and had my card shut down and had to call the bank and that was back when I did not hit the ground with a phone like I do now. It is stressful situation to try to avoid. I even had some transactions denied on my last trip but they did not cancel the card. So be sure to alert your bank. Other members have mentioned that they always spread some money over a couple of accounts and take a back up ATM card from another account just in case. That said if you are not hitting the ground with a phone that is going to work there without you having to buy a SIM card (I use Google Fi because its international. Other people use their own carrier's international plan) you may want to take enough cask to get you a couple of taxi rides and a SIM card. Maybe take $100 USD to exchange at the airport for contingencies like your card not working. Again this is just from experiences that I have had in the past of them putting a fraud block on my card even when I did notify my bank and Visa that I would be traveling to Cartagena.

The cash exchange place is inside the airport is going to be marked "Cambios" I think, I am not sure about ATMs inside the terminal building because it is just a habit for me to go the the ATM right before I get in the line at the taxi stand / que once you exit the building, then you take a left and walk toward the end of building and just past the taxi stand you will see a sign that says "Cajero" and another that reads "servibanka" and there are ATMs just inside lobby style for security.

Anyone or place grilling say Camarones or Pulpo? I love the way I have those grilled in Mexico.

What would the Colombian term for Mexican or Texmex Barbacao be? Do they eat Cabra?

Is street etiquette the same as in SE Asia, IE, a few tables and plastic chairs, bring your own nappies?

I'm staying in laguito. But I'm definitely planning on having dinner in centro every night. Can't wait!Two of my favorite restaurants in Centro are pretty close to each other one is Crepes & Waffles which sounds like a breakfast place but do not let the name fool you, they have all types of crepes, they have a huge menu. They are considered a little on the upscale side. They started in Colombia but they have locations in many countries. Crepes & Waffles has locations that just do like ice cream desserts in malls but this is one of their classier full menu places. My favorite is the chicken and mushrooms, and the desserts are not to be matched anywhere, The Centro location is on the south end of Carrera 4 just south of Calle 32.

The second place is just steps away maybe 4 buildings down on the Plaza San Pedro across from the church called Parroquia San Pedro Claver and the restaurant itself is called San Pedro Caf Mirador and is in one of the nicest colonial buildings of the city that I have been in it is a large place with large windows seating on the first floor, seating in a mezzanine area, and when it is clear I like to sit outside.

Photos marked CW are Crepes & Waffles, SP are San Pedro Cafe.

If you are over 50 you might benefit greatly from trt though.

Your thigh may feel like a pin-cushion, but at least you'll avoid the acne problems.

Toss in some proviron or masteron, and you'll fuck anything that moves. Twice (heard if from a friend).

If it's for bodybuilding then it's a different ballgame and pct is an absolute must.

I do TRT therapy in the states once a week at a men's health clinic so I would prefer a doctor or nurse to inject me so I will look for a doctor first who will do that after I buy the testosterone from the pharmacy. If I cannot find one then I will just let the pharmacist inject me. I will only need it once during the middle of my trip. Thanks for this information.

Crepes and waffles is Boca grande too.

I guess your favorite coffee shop is Juan Valdez.Most definitely I like the location in Bocagrande better in fact I think the service is better there. I think that was the only location when I first started visiting Cartagena. As for coffee shop depends actually on what part of town I am in. If I am in Bocagrande I will go to Juan Valdez. Mila Postre in Centro for cappuccino with dessert!! But sadly I think they are closed now for good. One of my things is when I am on vacation I indulge in things I do not do at home for health reasons, I am not supposed to have a lot of sweets but I have a wicked sweet tooth that I mostly ignore but on holiday in Cartagena I always made at least one trip every other day to Mila Postre. Sometimes I have their tacos also but they specialize it freshly made desserts, make a delicious rich flan (Creme caramel), great cheesecake, they are one of the victims if the Coronavirus Google Maps has them listed as "closed permanently".

I have some Juan Valdez coffee in my kitchen right now. I get it off Amazon. For just a pot of drip "American coffee" I prefer Tanzanian Peaberry but I use Juan Valdez Coffee Intense Volcan Espresso Dark Roast Ground in my espresso machine. .

Just pin your TRT every other other day, or every 3rd day so your testosterone levels don't fluctuate too much.Technically speaking, that is called "addiction". Synthetic hormone replaces natural one: natural production goes to zero, and without regular injection of synthetic replacement one falls into hormone deficit. The same loop of addiction to opioids, such as heroin. Once you fall into the loop, it's very hard to get out.

I wish good luck, or better wish everyone to be considerate.

I had bought some be vitamins injections and he offered to do it for a dollar. I was hesitant but went ahead and he was better than a nurse. The have a room specially for injections. They are now and have been for a couple years injecting at CVS and Walgreens flu shots. Much easier and cheaper to go to a pharmacist rather than going to a doctor.

In Cartagena now! Arrived yesterday, I did hit up the discos but was too tired to pull the trigger. Met a fellow American and he showed me around a bit since its my first time.

Went to la dolce vita around 8 or 9 pm, very few girls to begin with, but they started trickling in fast. Went from 5 girls to 20 or 30 girls quickly.

Hit up delirium with the American dude I met at LDV. It was popping there, tons of hookers!!

Checked out misti-k also and then called it a night.

Looks like discos are now open until 1 am now, changed from midnight in the last few days!!

Today I'll check out the clock tower and discos again. Going to fuck for sure tonight. The 12 hours of travel killed me yesterday.

Well I'm not going to get in a pissing match, but if you're using TRT doses responsibly and under the guidance of a prescribing physician, then it boils down to a quality of life decision.

To each his own.I have been around the block with the testosterone thing and talked to many health professionals about it so I will throw my two sense in on this one, I am not trying to get in a pissing contest either but its a debatable issue. I am told it also depends on how low your natural testosterone is. If you really have a large deficit than the fact that it depletes your natural production is the cost of feeling normal and the pros out way the cons, If you have a large deficit than the loss of energy is going to mimic depression and going to cause a loss your personal production and maybe cost money, it is going to cause your muscles to atrophy cause a person to put on fat which puts them in danger of heart issues, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes etc. Low testosterone also causes anemia, poor memory, low sex drive and osteoporosis.

So living with true low testosterone can be depressing, and bad for your psychologically and physically it can actually shorten your life. Getting on therapy directed to get you to normal levels has risks also not just the ones listed by BlackPage, the biggest risk is that too much testosterone will also case health effects and unfortunately for people my age "too much testosterone" can mean less than for younger men. It increases your risk of prostate cancer and fuels rapid growth of prostate cancer. It can lead to cardiovascular issues that can be fatal, and it can lead to negative psychological issues too.

Years ago when I was in my late twenties and early thirties I hang out with a group of bikers that were all either current or ex professional wrestlers (WWE style showman fake wrestling) a couple of whom had even done shows in Madison Garden and one had been in the ring with Mr. T back in the day, another had been Mick Foley's partner in the 80's before Foley was famous as "Mankind" and "Cactus Jack" in the 90's. By the time I knew these guys they were knocked down a few notches were just running their own local thing running shows in small town national guard armories. Anyway these guys were roid heads to be polite about it. They didn't buy street steroids they had a in somewhere where they could get Testosterone Cypionate (the same you get from the doc for therapy most likely) and they were doing this stuff when they were forty years old. They are all dead now. All of them. Five fiends of mine. I moved around and lost touch with most of them before that but over like a ten year period I heard about each of their deaths. One was liver cancer at 43 yrs old, another was cardiac arrest at 42 years old, one was prostate cancer at around 45 years old, I never head what the other two died from but they did not die in accidents and they did not live to see 50 and they thing they all had in common was using that testosterone.

That does not mean that I am any smarter than anyone else, a few years ago I was having a about of mid life crises bummed outness and was frustrated with going to the gym everyday killing myself trying to lose weight and not seeing the types of gains from it that I had ten years before and so I go all my shit checked out by one of those clinics in Florida that specialize in older men's health. I do not live in Fla but in those days you called them up, made an appointment and they sent an Advanced Practical Nurse to your house and they did the physical and sent your blood to LabCorp and then those vampires would sell you the testosterone for what I later calculated to be four times the regular market value. They were able to do this because Florida was / is the only state that does not regulate testosterone stricter than that. They sense cracked down federally and can not do all this remotely the way I did, you have have a face to face the last time l checked.

I do not have any problem sticking myself in the butt with a shot, you just have to get that darting motion down with a flick of the wrist like you are throwing a dart. Just don't let go of the needles LOL. I felt eighteen years old again, I put on muscle in the gym like Arnold, I started having women looking twice at me again, I was waking up with morning wood for the first time in years, I had energy and vigor like I was high all the time. It was amazing, then a few months in and started having trouble urinating. A lot of starting and stopping. I had to tell my VA doc that was cheating on him and seeing a Fla doc on the side that made me feel younger. And tell him about the testosterone. He agreed to that if I got off it for a month than we would retest and if I fit the the VA's profile of low testosterone they would prescribe it to me, I did not meet hem I was normal range. He explained to me that the most likely thing that had happened was that the testosterone had enlarged my prostate and he said if I had continued it could have led to cancer. That's when I got my first lecture about testosterone and the dangers. That's when I started thinking about all my friends who had died young.

My experiences and observations are that testosterone can be vital if you truly needed or dangerous if you do not, and if you need it don't be such a pussy have the RN show you the darting action for giving the shot and after that do it yourself. If you are dealing with those doctors down in Florida they may not have your best health interest in mind over the interest of their profits.

In Cartagena now! Arrived yesterday, I did hit up the discos but was too tired to pull the trigger. Met a fellow American and he showed me around a bit since its my first time.

Went to la dolce vita around 8 or 9 pm, very few girls to begin with, but they started trickling in fast. Went from 5 girls to 20 or 30 girls quickly.

Hit up delirium with the American dude I met at LDV. It was popping there, tons of hookers!!

Checked out misti-k also and then called it a night.

Looks like discos are now open until 1 am now, changed from midnight in the last few days!!

Today I'll check out the clock tower and discos again. Going to fuck for sure tonight. The 12 hours of travel killed me yesterday.Dude, don't forget the food. Food reports too. Please be adventurous. Lots of street food. Look for mariscos. And if you see any tall skinny ones (girls, not seafood), let me know! Where you staying? I am relying on you! Thank you my boooootherrrrrrrrr!

1. Is the place you are staying girlfriendly? I heard many of the top hotels are not. I generally like higher end hotels and not into airB&be, apartments with no security etc.

2. I tend to wife up girls for a few days. I am not much into ST deal. What's your experience?

Dude, don't forget the food. Food reports too. Please be adventurous. Lots of street food. Look for mariscos. And if you see any tall skinny ones (girls, not seafood), let me know! Where you staying? I am relying on you! Thank you my boooootherrrrrrrrr!Staying at an airbnb just a couple blocks from the action. The old city is pretty damn small, walking across it only takes a few minutes (depends on where you are going).

I didn't have any street food yet, I checked out an upscale Argentinian place yesterday, see photos. (having trouble uploading pics of the food, ill see if I can fix that later.).

It was delicious! I'll have to try the street food too!

2. I tend to wife up girls for a few days. I am not much into ST deal. What's your experience?Yeah I'm actually in an airbnb and specifically asked if guests (friends) were allowed. I think they got the idea, some even replied its fine if they have ID. Or one replied as long they are not minors (too young).

Many airbnbs even have 24 hour doorman. They will usually list that in their description, but not always surprisingly. You can look at the reviews and ask about that also.

My airbnb does NOT have a doorman, but an external gate with key into the apartment complex. Not the most secure but I definitely feel safe here. A friend even recommended a place like this so you don't get any trouble with security not letting the girls in.

I had my first short time last night. I know long time is on the table for many girls, and yes I met a guy that loves staying with girls 4 to 5 days at a time. He does business down here, so he is here for long periods of time, so he has figured out how to get what he wants.

I'm just curious if you negotiate multiple days up front or not? What if she sucks and you want her to leave? LOL.

I think long time for a single night should be fairly easy to negotiate, depends on attitude of the girls. I have a suspicion that a lot of these Venezuelan girls are super cheap and willing to do things like multiple days at a time. I think you can negotiate this type of stuff at the clock tower. Nightclub girls sometimes have a chip on their shoulder, but everyone also has a price.

My two cents would be negotiate long time for one night, then in the morning negotiate multiple days. Pay for her taxi home abd back if she needs to sort some shit out. They have to like setup babysitters sometimes or maybe they need to grab clothes etc.

Maybe some others can chime in about advice for multiple days long time.

Hope this helps!

Delirium?? Can you supply an address or general description of the location for this place Delirium?? If its crawling with hookers I need to try to add to the map. What was up with the Misti-K? Any hookers?

Delirium?? Can you supply an address or general description of the location for this place Delirium?? If its crawling with hookers I need to try to add to the map. What was up with the Misti-K? Any hookers?Delirium is in the same exact area, literally if you go one block from LDV. Delirium gastro bar, you can see it on google maps. See attached photo.

I heard from a guy that spends a lot of time here that LDV closed for a month for renovations, and everyone moved to delirium and it kinda stuck as a hooker spot. LDV still has hoes though. Different vibes. LDV seems very chill. Delirium is more night club, loud music, crowded. They have hookah too! If you've ever been to Flex in Pattaya, kinda like that! Hip hop or popular Latino dancing music, like young people stuff.

It is packed to the brim with hookers on Friday and Saturday at least. I arrived on Friday so I'm not sure what its like on weekdays.

I believe misti-k is on google maps too. Not sure about the percentage of hookers there. Its upscale nightclub vibe, I know I saw a hooker from LDV / delirium at misti-k for sure. But she was with a group of dudes, they might have met at a different spot but brought her to misti-k. I believe it was more of a normal, non puta club but maybe some percent of putas too. Not sure!

Hope you have had a chance to get in the mix of things. Arriving on the 4th of January. What kind of prices am I looking at for 9's and 10's. Never tried it before but looking for anal this trip. Is it prevalent there. Not popular in Costa Rica or Mexico.

I had a great time in Cartagena. Colombian families are not in Cartagena because of the virus, they are staying home completely. About 20% of the number of people that normally come for the Christmas season. Streets are vacant except for the taxi drivers and annoying street vendors.

Many girls at the clock tower. Some are 8 and 9's. Many are hardened, experienced pros. Also there are many Colombian men around the clock tower trying to intervene and collect a fee for introducing you to a woman-they are interloper pests and will try to get money from you for introductions, if you let them- avoid them. "My friend" is usually what they say or "What do you want, my friend. " "No moleste" is a good phrase to repeat and they will counter with "its my job", or "this is not your country" and then leave you alone. Most of these aggressive men come by launch from the island of Baru and are trying to sell something during the daytime and are pests. They are low lifes but you are a rich man if you can afford an airplane ticket there and look like a gringo, and their job is to get easy money from a stupid tourist.

Movie theatres are closed. Many restaurants have limited staff and slow service. Everyone wears masks, except the girls at the clock tower go without masks so you can see their face.

In my dream I met a solid 9, 20 years old, great body, and had a bareback experience for 300 mil pesos. Everything was bareback except no BBBJ. Not sure why, I would have rated her at 9. 5 if she did mamar me pene also. She originally said she wanted 500 mil pesos, but I said no, and kept interviewing the other girls. Great performance in the bedroom, her name was Catholina or something like that.

About 40 girls at clock tower at 8 pm. Girls were just standing around because not many customers. Probably 80% of the girls were Venez. Most bars closed at midnight.

I had a short experience with one of these assholes in the clock tower area. Someone needs to remind them that pimping is illegal in Colombia the last time I checked. I do not know how to say "pimping" in Spanish. I told this one asshole this is English and then with my limited Spanish I insinuated by asking "quieres hablamos con policia"? He got the message and stormed away. Assholes!

Yes I have come to detest those aggressive guys with the "Mister or Hello Sir or My Friend", they are usually costeno jack asses who if you don't set them straight right away will walk and pester you for 3 blocks.

My rule with these punks after 2 of my polite but firm "No Thank you amigo" is to say "Fuck Off you maricon, get the fuck away from me you costeno piss ass", it works. And should they come back with something I will get right into their sorry brown ass lazy costeno face and threaten them, these guys stand about 5'-4" and weigh in at about 130 lbs and size matters especially in Colombia.

For many of them this is the only thing that will keep them in check and just maybe they will not harass the next gringo that they encounter.

Much love and respect to all.

I don't recommend ever getting into a confrontation with any Colombian in Colombia. I usually say "no gracias" a few times and they leave me alone. Also if you don't make eye contact it discourages them. No reason at all to get anywhere near physical. I've seen locals surround a tourist while one of them takes out his frustration. It always looked scary.

The Tall Man.Tallman, you've been around this hobby for a while so I know your an experienced traveler. But even a 5 foot nothing can pull a Triger. I've travel thru out Latin America for years and I have never seen it so dangerous as it is today. My MO is to say nothing and just wave my finger back and forth in a no thanks fashion, that way they never hear my gringo accent and it has worked beautifully for me. From the pain in ass vendors in Copa as it does with the Venezolano beggars on the streets of Bogota. Us stand up guys always feel like we need to teach these punks a lesson but most of these outcomes will be bad. I remember coming out of Help a few years ago at 5 or 6 AM and a drunk Russian asshole decided to bad mouth a gringo coming down the steps toward TA. The gringo could handle himself and clocked this guy and he feel down the steps unconscious. The cops came and if you know the Rio cops, they just took him to jail, no questions asked. Long story short, he spend 3 of his 7 day vacation in a Rio jail so what did he prove. When I'm traveling, I try to avoid any confrontation, I know I can handle myself, so I don't need to prove I'm a stand up guy to anyone in another country. Life is cheap in Colombia, you can get somebody dumped for less than 300 k cop. So best is to avoid it all. Peace brother.

I'll be in Cartagena on January 11th for a birthday week trip. Been trying to get there for forever LOL. Super excited. Been doing a little Tinder thumping and met a few to save some time in the beginning. Just curious, Are the Hilton / Hyatt hotels girl friendly? I don't plan on running them in and out but just wondering if it's impossible to get or two in. Thanks.

You never want to get into a fight with the locals because you will generally get your ass kicked by more than one. Rule #1 of traveling in a foreign country.This is the way I roll nowadays. The majority of these punks know only threats and dominance to get them to back off, they have no respect for anyone other than when someone likes me puts them into their place, you all can take the 'oh I just tell them no gracias and they will understand my kind gesture' but this is bull shit, these are punks who you all have been allowing them to grow in their aggressive and unrestrained behaviors.

Like I said these lazy ass costenos are the typical 5'-4" and 135 lbs mama boys who prey on the weak and timid, don't play into this, stand your ground, be firm with them otherwise they think they can continue to be overly aggressive and intimidating to any gringo or gringa.

And yes they typically work in a group of 2 or 3 but the others are just as puny and scared when they "get it" that you don't put up with their shit.

I got some Mexican friends back in my day from East LA and these guys you don't dare fuck with but they, right or wrong, earned their respect but not these costeno sad fucks that roam the beaches and streets of Cartagena.

These costenos need to go back to when they were in their early teens to their favorite donkey where they learned to fuck, oh they love their donkeys and have such a fondness for them, yes I know the costa culture more than most people. I know and understand their dark secrets.

Some of you will take offense to my opinion but travel around enough and you will come to the same understanding and conclusions. I have seen much.

Merry Christmas to all!

Still quite hot during the day and may be more comfortable and slightly cooler with breezes in January and February. Maybe more people after the virus scare is over. Last weekend I had 2 girls come up to me in Laguito, conversate and offer me their phone numbers. They were asking 200,000 pesos for their company. Both were doable, but 8's and not 9's. One (Victoria) had a herpes blister on her lip, I asked her about that and she said she had a fever a few days before- no thanks.

Conversely, I have seen many furriners take a nice beat down in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. And unless the ATM is opened wide, guess who goes away in cuffs in the bed of a pickup truck. And hope that the cops have even gotten there in time. And they really don't have to concept of machismo as we understand it.

So its a lot easier to smile and be happy. Its their country, their people, their rules. You are a guest. The cost of your airfare can feed one of the bottom feeders for a year, if you can't deal with the fact that in these countries, you are seen as a walking ATM, you shouldn't be there.

But hey, any seafood reports?

I rented an apartment near the clock tower and made sure they allowed visitors. I only asked about visitors and did not specify hookers. After confirmation I read the house rules, different than website, that they do not allow sex workers or "friends", as they put it. Do you think the warning is generic and does the government really have a law against it? I am wondering if that is the case and try my luck bringing in a woman. I also considered bribing the security people during my stay. What would be an appropriate bribe? Do you think I should do that?

Donkey Sex: The Most Bizarre Tradition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VKWLC87Uzw.Bizarre to the western world but normal as breathing air for young cosento boys coming of age.

A few years ago the mechanic at a shop in centro Medellin did all my sound system on my car and some other electrical add-ons, he worked at the shop, and he is a really cool costeno about 40 yo and for hours as he worked on my car we talked and I never laughed so much with him when he tells me about his life growing up as a young kid in the coast areas.

He still has fond memories of his favorite donkey 25 years later, he was serious, they come to have such an affection and emotional tie with their "first love" no different than us gringos thinking back of our high school sweetheart whom we lost our virginity to back in our teens.

This year right before the China virus I needed to replace my light bar on my car so went back to this shop, as soon as I pull into the shop I see my costeno friend and we both start laughing. He promised to share 30 yo photos with me of his favorite donkey from back in the day.

You can't make this stuff up.

The Tall Man.Okay, a coupla' years ago I was driving in a Renault Sandero with another American and a young (handsome) costeño kite instructor through a reclaimed marsh. I was driving and as the marsh was really testing the limits of the tiny rental, I wasn't paying 100% attention, but at some point it changed from lunch and what kind of animals are good to eat to what kind of animals are good to f'ck. So, from the American:

"Con yegua?

"Yeah, for sure".

"Oh man, I think you're shining us on -- look me in the eye and tell me that again. Con mula, burra. Oveja?

"Yeah, sure. I mean, think about it, I was eleven, twelve years old, living on the farm. I didn't have a girlfriend...what was I supposed to do?

I chimed in, "y cabra?

"No", he said. "Too small. "

Got off to a crazy start. First spirit gave away my seats. Thats never happened before. I got a refund but was still irritated. Both flights were oversold.

I get through customs easy. I ask the taxi stop an a ATM. As I open the door a passing taxi hits the door.

We argue, a cop shows up. He tells me I can settle it here or go to body shop. LOL. I end up giving one eighty and the other 60 US. Both vehicles were damaged and the gringo is always wrong. Things happen if your in the game long enough. Thats my worse experience since 2010. No biggie.

Now my ATM card isn't working despite the fact that I put in a travel voucher. Wouldn't even let me WU myself some money. That took 2 calls to straighten out.

Is the universe sending me a message? LOL.

So the chica I had plans with shows up. She was incredible! Prettier in person. Crazy body from working out. BBBJ. Good sex. 250 plus taxi.

Showered up and hit Centro. Dulce Vida was good. Some nice talent.

Delirum was better! Had a blast chica watching and listening to the music.

Ran into two guys I know from the DR. Got 2 numbers. A good night!

Any recommendations on what to do for NYE? Should I be looking for parties at clubs or just walk around the city and hit some bars? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Also any suggestions on guest friendly hotels?

Is Cartagena is operating as normal? They didn't impose curfews or shut clubs & bars like the other Colombian cities?

Had a relaxing breakfast at a place next to the condo. Charlie's coffee I think. Cheap good. Hit the beach. Not much eye candy.

Had lunch on the beach at a place with gorgeous views. I forgot the name, too much red wine. Fish with shrimp and mussels 2 glasses of wine. About 40 bucks with tips. It was worth it. Food was good and portions were nice.

A chica from last night started sending pics. A pretty dark venezolana. She comes by. Straight porn star. Deep throat, she ran through every position I know and loved it! I didn't too!

After she left I went to centro to see the sunset from the wall. Beautiful!

Probably won't do much more clubs this trip. Its bad enough were drinking with no mask on.

People smoking cigarettes and hookahs is a serious germ. Spreader. Ill just hang at out door bars the rest of the trip. Peace!

I rented an apartment near the clock tower and made sure they allowed visitors. I only asked about visitors and did not specify hookers. After confirmation I read the house rules, different than website, that they do not allow sex workers or "friends", as they put it. Do you think the warning is generic and does the government really have a law against it? I am wondering if that is the case and try my luck bringing in a woman. I also considered bribing the security people during my stay. What would be an appropriate bribe? Do you think I should do that?First of all ask the people working the door what is the deal? Do not mention hookers! (it is pretty crazy down there not just because of sex tourism per say but because a little while back there was a huge sting operation where they busted. A lot of underage shit was caught up and a lot of girls like 14 yrs old and even as young as 12 so now its political as hell and everyone looks at that as how bad it is) So just say that you have friends in Cartagena that you want to spend time with in the apartment and you were told that you could. Show them the message where you were told you can have visitors. If it is a building police then for sure I agree with YippieKayay (I agree with him anyway if you have not given them any money, cancel and get clear) if it is past your cancelation deadline and you have already given them money than it might be a greater hassle to cancel and get a refund. For sure explain to them that the whole reason you wanted the apartment was that you have friends in Cartagena that you want to entertain and now your while trip is going to be ruined and you for sure be reviewing them as scam artists for renting to you in false pretense on every website you can find, the website you found them on, TripAdvisor, etc. But start by just asking the people who work the door,.

Please let us know how it works out, and report those assholes on here so no other monger falls for their shit which is a lot like bait and switch, and then also go to the Cartagena Hotels and Rental Apartments thread in this Colombia forum and scroll until you see my recommendation.

Hit the gym, breakfast, then the beach. Everything on the beach is spaced out. Chicas are slowly coming back. My favorita won't be back until January. Had an amazing lunch at sabores del Mar. In laguito. Fish with shrimp and mussels. Had my porn star venezolana come back. She was amazing! Later hit clock tower bar in centro. Good time. Variety of American music. From rolling stones to kool in the gang! Lmao! Some pretty chicas but mostly the be team. Hit delirium bar for some drinks. Nice talent. Got a few numbers. Didn't like the hookah smoke.

I like Cartagena. I can definitely see myself living here. Plenty to do. Not cheap, but affordable.

I've been trying to find a nicer apartment that's chica friendly. No luck so far. Many places are not guest friendly.

Many places are not guest friendly.Because of COVID they are also clamping down on sex tourism. Go to Brazil. It's cheaper and most hotels are chica friendly in Rio. You just ask them what their guest policy is.

Woke up around 830. Went for coffee, hit the gym. Was going to the private beach but security told la policia was going to shut it down, which they eventually did. Tmmw is supposed to be back to normal. Had a chica come over. Good service as usual. Went downtown early. Hit a new American owned bar. Mondo exotico. Nice guy and nice place. Got a little insight into the Cartagena expat experience.

Hit click tower bar. Always a good time and good drinks.

Was going to hit delirium for a few drinks. Heard they were serving dinner until 12. What? LOL. Came back to laguito.

Most bars closed at 10. LOL. Going to call it an early night. But overall a great trip!

I ended up spending NYE at the club in the 2nd floor of Delirium. It was an awesome night, And Yes! Absolutely no safe distance. Met a group of Paisas that invited me to their table and we were all drinking aguardiente from each other's shot glasses. If I had not had a positive antibodies test result, I would have not come to Cartagena. LOL.

Will be in Cartagena on the fourth. There seems to be conflicting opinions as to the fun to be had with the ladies in Cartagena. From what I can tell, the place has slowed down but it is coming back. There are fewer ladies than before Covid but there are ladies and 9's and 10's if you look. Do I have it about right? Where would be a good place for my first drink? I'm buying.

Had an awesome time in Cartagena! The little private beach at the condo is nice! Stuck with the same two chicas all trip.

Met one at delirium, the other was a referral from Tony at the beach.

Even with a lot of chicas being home for the holidays there was a nice selection. Cartagena has plenty to see and do. Taxis are inexpensive. Laguito and Boca grande have plenty of places to eat and drink. So you can mix it up and not always go to centro. Only saw about half of the things I want to see. Can't wait to come back!

I just had to increase my upcoming continuous travel time because I can't rent a room in LA to sleep off the mental deritus from the over the pond trip, Thus, clear customs, head to dispensary, grab an In Out Burger, and return to airport to start another 5 hours in the air. Absent a 2 hour break for that, I am now up to 37 hours of traveling. Not counting the 6 hours on the road to the airport to begin with as the airport in my city is shut down.

Jab me. Put me on ice till the fall and then its time for fun again, I hope. Cartagena is a hell of a lot closer than Asia or Brazil.

Looking to have a couple of girls from online visit and do not think they can get in where I am staying.Sounds like you did not get your apartment situation sorted to where you have a guest friendly place to stay. If you get on the ground and discover that it is for sure that they misled you in emails about having visitors than please post the name of this place so other members do not have the same problem.

I have only used 'love motel / hotel' one time, it was my first trip to Cartagena over a decade ago, so I can't even remember where it was. I just had the chica pick it out. The chicas all know the love motels / hotels better than the mongers, you will not have any problems finding one, in fact I think I would walk around asking the chicas which is the best one.

Even if Cartagena is slower than prior to all this Covid crapola , it is still a paradise compared to almost anywhere else, Plaza de Los Coches (inside the wall by the clocktower after about 10pm), La Dolce Vita, Space, and I am hearing about this new spot called Delirium - you will have a good time. Its like this ; because you have never been there it will seem like paradise, for guys who have several trips it will seem slow but that does not matter to you, you will enjoy.

Since most guys try to find a chica friendly apartment I do not see many post about love hotels / motels but here us one from over a year about by Black Page, it is post #9368.

Hey,

Here are three important questions:

1. There have been recent trip reports, but skimpy on the grub detail. That's what we do. We Eat, Sleep, Drink and Play Hide the Sausage, but we are light on the the non pussy gobbling here guys, come on.

2. Do the chicas like old, jolly long bearded hippy types. Clean and generous.

3. Has anybody been to any cool historical sights. Particularly churches etc. There is more to mongering than just pounding away.

4. Do the chicas understand bad American Spanish IE mixtures of NY Puerto Rican and Arizona Sonoron on a 6 year old level.

Yeah, for sure you can spend a full day just walking around the walled city looking in doorways -- it's like the set from a "Pirates of the Caribbean movie". The awesome huge 17th century Castillo de San Felipe is definitely worth it. 1st time I stopped in CTG was 1974, well before it was totally wrecked by tourism (the beach all the way down to Boca Grande was just single family beach houses), I visited the Palacio de la Inquiscion, which was just amazing.

3. Has anybody been to any cool historical sights. Particularly churches etc. There is more to mongering than just pounding away.Cartagena centro is a dream place for tourists. It is not Las Vegas, where the only reason to go could be to gamble and evade from sex prison (for an American). It's a paradise for a photographers. People and colors offer countless photo opportunities. Watch Will Smith in Gemini Man running on the roofs of colored houses in centro and you will understand. Just stroll around and enjoy the alleys of Getstemani, San Diego, Santo Domingo. There are some little museums. Outside Centro, you might go to visit the Castle.

2. Do the chicas like old, jolly long bearded hippy types. Clean and generous.

3. Has anybody been to any cool historical sights. Particularly churches etc. There is more to mongering than just pounding away.

4. Do the chicas understand bad American Spanish IE mixtures of NY Puerto Rican and Arizona Sonoron on a 6 year old level.I am going to respond point by point because it is easier to follow at a glance.

1. No to be too smart aleck but more being to the point; this site is not Yelp or TripAdvisor and so no one logs on to get or supply information about eating here unless they what they are eating is pussy and the answer is Yes I Do! You want a chica to be more relaxed around you than you should too. Fact: What chicas like second only to money is for someone to lick their pussy. On a serious note you are telling on yourself for not reading back very far because I myself have posted tips on restaurants as have others but each has their own taste so I advise you to scour TripAdvisor for that info: my one tip that I always leave though is the Colombian chain Crepes and Waffles.

2. Chicas definitely love Generous and that's all that matters. I suggest sticking to market prices and giving generous tips only if the chica is extra generous in her service or affection. Many guys fail to understand the dynamics of prostitution and get caught up in the thinking that chicas will not like them because they are old and fat (I am old and fat so that's not a dis) . And some guys get on here claiming that they get better service etc because they are better looking etc (which I want to ask than why are you paying at all?) No the truth is it is a business, your plumber could give a damn if you are good looking, your accountant could give a damn, your grocer could give a damn, hooking is a job and if you are paying for service that's all that matters. Personality probably goes a longer way than looks as far as if they want to stick around longer or watch the clock. I am fat and old and could tell you stories if getting freebies from chicas I repeated several time over years, of how they want to stay at my apartment for days even after they got paid but I chalk this up to personality because I am no Tom Cruise.

3. Cartagena is an historical sight to see, the Old City where the clock tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neighborhood across from the old city and to the East is Getsemani and Forbes magazine called it one of the ten coolest neighborhoods in the world. I read that the wall that surrounds the Old City would cost over a trillion dollars to build today; 3 times Colombia's current GDP. The most historic church is Iglesia de San Pedro Claver / Santuario de San Pedro Claver that also houses a small museum and was once sanctified by Pope John Paul II because of it's historical significance. San Pedro Claver went down in history as the first in the 'new world' clergy to minister to African American Slaves so you can investigate that if you are interested. Even in the United States there are organizations named for Pedro Claver. That is not the main church though, that would be Catedral de Santa Catalina de Alejandra AKA Cartagena Cathedral. IMHO none of these churches quite reaches that architectural grandeur of those seen in Europe or even the major cities in the USA but the churches in Cartagena are old and have that colonial look. Many Colombians travel from all over Colombia to be married in a church in Cartagena and the Santo Domingo Church on Plaza Santo Domingo (great place to sit and people watch) is popular for that, Cartagena Cathedral poses for a great photo at night when her dome is lit up. John Clayton mentioned already the Castillo de San Felipe and Palacio de la Inquiscion. There is also a gold museum that has displays of examples of the first gold artifacts that drew the attention of the conquistadors and a Naval museum that tells of the time 400 Cartagena colonials beat a force of 27,000 British who were partially led by George Washington's brother.

It depends on your own interests in to what parts and aspects of Cartagena would have an appeal to you. If it is architecture that you like than walk the streets of the Old City and walk the wall especial where it bounds the ocean. If it is also history that interest you than of course there are the museums mentioned. If you are into art than you cannot miss a walk through of maze of streets in Getsemani where the walls are covered with some of the best street art in the world. And do not forget to check out the Fernando Botero statue of a reclining plump lady in Plaza Domingo that always has a tourist standing next to it posing for a photo. If you are into literature than you should know that Cartagena was for years the home of the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Gabriel Garca Mrquez, one of his books was made into a movie with Javier Bardem called Love In The Time of Cholera and much it was filmed in Cartagena. If interested in Gabriel Garca Mrquez read the article in NYT below.

4. Most chicas in Cartagena and I mean the vast majority only speak and understand Spanish. At least for you since you have had some Spanish and understand the pronunciation of the vowels and such, when you use Google Translator you will not trip over the words.

Going to find an ATM and look at the clock tower, find delirium and the other bar before I come back tonight. Fuck it is hot.

You want a chica to be more relaxed around you than you should too. Fact: What chicas like second only to money is for someone to lick their pussy. On a serious note you are telling on yourself for not reading back very far because I myself have posted tips on restaurants as have others but each has their own taste so I advise you to scour TripAdvisor for that info: my one tip that I always leave though is the Colombian chain Crepes and Waffles.

2. Chicas definitely love Generous and that's all that matters. I suggest sticking to market prices and giving generous tips only if the chica is extra generous in her service or affection. Many guys fail to understand the dynamics of prostitution and get caught up in the thinking that chicas will not like them because they are old and fat (I am old and fat so that's not a dis) . And some guys get on here claiming that they get better service etc because they are better looking etc (which I want to ask than why are you paying at all?) No the truth is it is a business, your plumber could give a damn if you are good looking, your accountant could give a damn, your grocer could give a damn, hooking is a job and if you are paying for service that's all that matters. Personality probably goes a longer way than looks as far as if they want to stick around longer or watch the clock. I am fat and old and could tell you stories if getting freebies from chicas I repeated several time over years, of how they want to stay at my apartment for days even after they got paid but I chalk this up to personality because I am no Tom Cruise.

3. Cartagena is an historical sight to see, the Old City where the clock tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neighborhood across from the old city and to the East is Getsemani and Forbes magazine called it one of the ten coolest neighborhoods in the world. I read that the wall that surrounds the Old City would cost over a trillion dollars to build today; 3 times Colombia's current GDP. The most historic church is Iglesia de San Pedro Claver / Santuario de San Pedro Claver that also houses a small museum and was once sanctified by Pope John Paul II because of it's historical significance. San Pedro Claver went down in history as the first in the 'new world' clergy to minister to African American Slaves so you can investigate that if you are interested. Even in the United States there are organizations named for Pedro Claver. That is not the main church though, that would be Catedral de Santa Catalina de Alejandra AKA Cartagena Cathedral. IMHO none of these churches quite reaches that architectural grandeur of those seen in Europe or even the major cities in the USA but the churches in Cartagena are old and have that colonial look. Many Colombians travel from all over Colombia to be married in a church in Cartagena and the Santo Domingo Church on Plaza Santo Domingo (great place to sit and people watch) is popular for that, Cartagena Cathedral poses for a great photo at night when her dome is lit up. John Clayton mentioned already the Castillo de San Felipe and Palacio de la Inquiscion. There is also a gold museum that has displays of examples of the first gold artifacts that drew the attention of the conquistadors and a Naval museum that tells of the time 400 Cartagena colonials beat a force of 27,000 British who were partially led by George Washington's brother.

It depends on your own interests in to what parts and aspects of Cartagena would have an appeal to you. If it is architecture that you like than walk the streets of the Old City and walk the wall especial where it bounds the ocean. If it is also history that interest you than of course there are the museums mentioned. If you are into art than you cannot miss a walk through of maze of streets in Getsemani where the walls are covered with some of the best street art in the world. And do not forget to check out the Fernando Botero statue of a reclining plump lady in Plaza Domingo that always has a tourist standing next to it posing for a photo. If you are into literature than you should know that Cartagena was for years the home of the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Gabriel Garca Mrquez, one of his books was made into a movie with Javier Bardem called Love In The Time of Cholera and much it was filmed in Cartagena. If interested in Gabriel Garca Mrquez read the article in NYT below.

4. Most chicas in Cartagena and I mean the vast majority only speak and understand Spanish. At least for you since you have had some Spanish and understand the pronunciation of the vowels and such, when you use Google Translator you will not trip over the words.

https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/02/travel/02cartagena.htmlYou really know the city bro! I walked the wall a cool times. Once a sunset. Really nice views! People take up residence on the cannons!

I walked through Getsimini and the murals were incredible!

The old Havana club was closed. I'm not sure if it's permanently closed.

Castillo San Felipe and the San Diego area are on my list for the next trip. Plenty to see and do in Cartagena.

Pretty much can't go wrong with the food. I ate pescado con mariscos or Cazuela de Mariscos every day. Around 40 k pesos. Big portions. Can't wait to go back.

Ya, Mojo, rather than quote ya, I'll just note that food is an individual and constantly evolving topic that is elemental to mongering. No food, no nutrients for the development of a healthy choadload. That being said, in my 25 years in Asia, some of the best food tips come from the mongering side of life.

I never use trip advisor. They don't allow discussions of hookers at the street food areas.

Had an awesome time in Cartagena! The little private beach at the condo is nice! Stuck with the same two chicas all trip.

Met one at delirium, the other was a referral from Tony at the beach.

Even with a lot of chicas being home for the holidays there was a nice selection. Cartagena has plenty to see and do. Taxis are inexpensive. Laguito and Boca grande have plenty of places to eat and drink. So you can mix it up and not always go to centro. Only saw about half of the things I want to see. Can't wait to come back!Brother P you have motivated me. Thanks for your on the ground reporting. Where did you stay.

Prices are lower overall because of the differences in our economies and the exchange rate. The delivery fees are lower not just because of the previous mentioned reasons that prices are but also the delivery person is either on a bicycle or a scooter that is way cheaper to operate and cover the depreciation on than a car is. It may be tempting to use Uber Eats because it seems familiar brand wise but I would recommend Rappi everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. In Medellin I used them to order dinner for me and a chica sometimes especially some of the chicas that I know were coming straight from their day job to a cita with me, I want to then fed so they are ready stay for a while and not be in a hurry to go eat. I used them for breakfast everyday and it was like $5 for a complete breakfast with eggs, potatoes, arepas, cheese, sausage, coffee and OJ. You can't tip the equivalent of $2 us and that is good. All the restaurants are on Rappi too so it is like bringing the whole city (within reasonable delivery distance) to your fingertips instead of you having to search places out. I will post a photo of their delivery people below, their app logo is just the white mustache part with the red background.

Found a chica I liked to stay with me for 3 days. Needed to use Rappi, yes its very handy, but after downloading it Rappi did not offer an option to use a phone number from the USA to register and order with. I triple checked and no USA option available so we had to use the chica's phone to order and of course I had to put my credit card number into her phone in the app. We used it several times and it is great. She left the day I flew out. When I got home I cancelled the card right away. A few days later she texts me asking if I will let her use my card to buy some ice cream. I told her I had to cancel the card because of fraud. We are still in touch. But anyway, has any American used Rappi on their US number? If so when?

Picked up an 8 on the way home. Went to a love motel. Not bad. Will use it again. I can use my place with no problem but I decided not to. I paid way too much, 300 k but she could certainly work it. Will not repeat. Got great plans for tomorrow. Sightseeing, napping, beach, and hitting the same circuit. This place is great. Pussy heaven. Good night gentlemen. Thanks for the tips.

I just purchased a new phone recently did not have Rappi on it so after reading your post I downloaded the app and this is what went down. I am going to try to upload images to demonstrate. The first menu drops down and asks me to choose what country I am using the app in. This is a group of nine South American countries and I choose Colombia. The next screen says create your account and gives me the option to use my phone number or other sign up means. If I click on other sign up means it will offer to let me use my Facebook account or WhatsApp. If I click on Phone number it starts off showing a place to fill in the phone number and it already has the Colombia country code showing, but if I click on the spot where the country code is showing up than if opens up a menu with the other country codes of the world and the USA and Israel are at the top of the list.

It would not be wise to punch in your actual physical card in someone else's account.

In cases like these I would generate a disposable card (one time use or with a limit) in a site called privacy.com.

Gave me the peace of mind needed.

I was the only person in the pool area and I was doing nothing wrong, I was in the pool wading around by myself. First the maintenance guy came around and was straightening the chairs. Then the security guard came around and told me I must leave because I had not reserved the pool a day ahead of time. I said nothing in response that could be interpreted as hostile. They were just trying to make an issue with a gringo guest. He made it clear I was not welcomed and had done something terribly aggregious and intentional. Maybe another guest had made a problem at the pool, but not me.

No need to give me a hard time, undeserved. When he said in Spanish I "had to leave in an hour", I knew I was not welcomed at all. Promptly got my bag out of the room and checked out, handing him the key to the room at the front desk. As I handed him the key I said to him in Spanish, I am not coming back, your rules are stupid.

Unable to get ahold of Juan, WiFi was not working in that building anyway and he was out of town, had an assistant give me the key. When I got home I emailed Juan to try to get a refund for the last day and he said he was unable to mail me a check or money order for the refund, Juan blamed the situation on the Covid. Juan would have given me a refund on paypal but my account was not up to date and was not working, so he promised to give me credit next time I stayed with him, which may be a long, long time!

I live on the third floor and never see anyone coming in. I could run a brothal out of here. The apartment is small and the water is cold but it is in the heart of the action. Next time here, I would be tempted to just get this place for pussy and stay somewhere that has hot water. Yes I am a pussy. Got a real winner out of La Dulce Vida.

Well I'm going to be vaccinated by the first of February so I can go wherever I want. How have you come to this conclusion? Even the vaccine makers and the CDC don't know whether or not the vaccine prevents you from spreading the disease. Most of the world is still on the lockdown and AFAIK no one hasn't said anything about easing the restrictions yet. So unless you know something, "wherever I want" sounds overly optimistic.

I am not so sure you want to eat what the chicas eat in Colombia. I mean its okay to try and if you are really really hungry it will hit the spot but Colombian food is notoriously bland to us gringos. If you want to try it what you want to look for if you are looking for typical Colombian food is basically a sign that say its typical food but will say "typical dishes" in Spanish is "Platos Tipicos" this is mostly grilled meats and rice dishes with chicken, fried fish or whatever, coconut rice is a favorite. Bandeja Paisa is the national dish. I have eaten it just to try it out but not something I am in a hurry to eat again, though I imagine if one was really really hungry it would be very satisfying. I will post a photo below, the meat is grilled skirt steak and sausage, the beans are like red beans, the thing that looks like its notched and cut in section is bacon that is mostly fat, the bread is arepa which is similar to a cross between a corn tortilla and American corn bread (there used to be a walk up place on the main drag of Bocagrande that served stuffed arepas, ground meat and spices with cheese. Those arepas are good late at night when you have a drinking buzz on).

Cartagena has typical Colombian food but is also a Caribbean coastal city with a Colombian Coastal culture, know as Costenos, their cuisine is going to have more seafood mixed in.

Like anyplace there are regional differences in food. Colombia has 7 regions and each of these has a people from that region that refer to themselves according to their region with pride, Cartagena is in the Caribbean region where they call themselves Costenos, in the Andean mountains area that includes Medellin they call themselves Paisas, Pacific coast includes Buenaventura: Afro Colombians, Andean Valleys which includes Cali call themselves Calenos, the Eastern grasslands which is where the city of Yopal is they call themselves LLaneros, the people of the Andean Savannah region which includes Bogota are called Cachaco and / or Rolo.

You may not care about these things now but flying between cities in Colombia is inexpensive between some cities can be like $50 or less so maybe later you and / or other members reading this may want to explore more.

I like going between Cartagena and Medellin, I love both places. Cartagena for its historic architecture and being right on the sea and the central availability of gorgeous chicas of the night being so centrally located in the old city by the clock tower and the clubs.

Medellin probably has 100 times more chicas but not a place where hot chicas of the night gather, the system is different and in my case I have my list of chicas there already so I can get room service all day long. I just call them on WhatsApp and set up an appointment. In contrast to Cartagena's coastal Caribbean heat and high humidity the short flight to Medellin takes you to what may be the most consistently pleasant climate in the world. Medellin is known as the city of Eternal Spring, a goldilocks microclimate where its never too hot and never too cold its high 70's or low 80's Fahrenheit everyday all year round. There are also thriving neighborhoods with international cuisine styles to be found and areas like La 70 which is a strip with bars and restaurants that goes on for 3/4's of a mile. Then there is the legendary Lleras Park which is a city park surrounded by bars and restaurants that fan out from the park for blocks but the high concentration of people is right in the immediate vicinity of the park and it is thousands of people on a Saturday night and few hookers mixed in also.


I highly recommend having WhatsApp when you are on the ground in Colombia, the system is different there, here in the USA we enjoy the luxury of being able to call anyone with a different carrier without getting charged and we enjoy unlimited call time minutes and text messages but the business model is different in Colombia so they fall back on WhatsApp to avoid all this. I always get chicas numbers for instances when I may want to hook up with them during the day or just meet a chica I want to hook up with later,

Apologies for not replying sooner but I wrote a reply yesterday but must have got distracted and then closed my browser before hitting post.

I am not so sure you want to eat what the chicas eat in Colombia. I mean its okay to try and if you are really really hungry it will hit the spot but Colombian food is notoriously bland to us gringos. If you want to try it what you want to look for if you are looking for typical Colombian food is basically a sign that say its typical food but will say "typical dishes" in Spanish is "Platos Tipicos" this is mostly grilled meats and rice dishes with chicken, fried fish or whatever, coconut rice is a favorite. Bandeja Paisa is the national dish. I have eaten it just to try it out but not something I am in a hurry to eat again, though I imagine if one was really really hungry it would be very satisfying. I will post a photo below, the meat is grilled skirt steak and sausage, the beans are like red beans, the thing that looks like its notched and cut in section is bacon that is mostly fat, the bread is arepa which is similar to a cross between a corn tortilla and American corn bread (there used to be a walk up place on the main drag of Bocagrande that served stuffed arepas, ground meat and spices with cheese. Those arepas are good late at night when you have a drinking buzz on)..Now ya see, that's why this Place should rename into The Experienced Travelers Corner. Far more informative than you would get on some shill blog or website, neh?

I'm glad they use WhatsApp, I was dreading another communication app, already having to drag around WeChat, Skype and Line. Is mobile data available?

I love the food you posted about. I'm pretty much Asianed out at this point in time and need a dose of Spanish. Give me some arrepas!

Where's the supermarket and liquor store near the Clock tower? I'll be staying near to there and need to know if I have to catch a cab to the supermarket or is one nearby where I can get my waters, snacks and other things.There's everything and everything is in 10 minutes walking distance radius. Don't ever consider to take a cab to move around the Centro. The driver will immediately understand you have no clue and, nasty boy, will surely overcharge you a lot. Shark and little fish.

Today we have a wonderful thing called Google Maps. You cannot get lost with that and you will find anything you want. Without maps, it is easy to get lost in the centro, because all streets look the same the first times (not only the first times: me too I often had to ask a direction to a local when I am somewhere there and I am looking for my Juan Valdez).


I don't go to Thai places in the states, unless they are small town local refugee places.
Food I'm looking for in Cart would be the same the girls eat.Excellent mindset!

Just do not trust the gastronomical taste of the girls! Most girls are from lower strata, and they predilect junk food. Mojo Bandit has given you a thorough overview already. The Bandeja Paisa is supposedly a typical dish of Medellin and Antioquia (but it's debated, as purist find it an horrible addition from outside) and honestly you can forget it exists. Most girls will be delighted by "salshipapa", that is small sausages (the same of hotdogs) mixed with fries. Horrible and unhealthy.

About local food in Cartagena, my advice for you is the following (if you really plan to travel to Colombia in this world emergency):

1) The kiosks out of Plaza del Reloy (go out, cross the road, walk LEFT) to eat shrimp cocktail and a variety of other seafood served with the same sauce in disposable plastic cups. Sit down, eat your shrimps accompanied with fresh fruit juice (as European, I would like a glass of iced white wine, but here I suggest you go for tropical fruit) and watch people strolling. It's my snack of mid afternoon or mid day.

2) Try La Mulata, typical restaurant for local food. It's NOT a place for local poor people. It's a place for tourists, but it's excellent. Open only at day time. In Centro near an Olimpica. Find it with Google Maps.

3) At night, I prefer more classy places, which I have already recommended in other posts (Peruan, Fusion, Argentinian). Definitely I would not look for sushi.

I know that the more experienced hobbiest are familiar with the heyday of chica availability before the pandemic, and lament the decrease in women. I have traveled quite a bit through Mexico and Central America and have enjoyed the availability in all them, but I have never seen anything like the LDV-Clock Tower-Delirium triangle of pussy. I had to take last night off and recoup. Plenty of 8's and more than a few of 9's. Cartagena is the best I have ever seen. I will be back after the pandemic but not sure how it could be better. Still here for a few days. Looking forward to tonight.

The signage isn't great though so I am posting a photo of the front of the building as it would look when approaching from the clock tower area , the sign that says "Exito" is under that overhang and is hard to see

Non, Mon. Frere, TASTY and unhealthy! I'm going to Cartegena on vacation (hopefully this summer for two weeks), I can afford to pollute myself, I'm old and every day is my last one! Besides by the time I get to Cartagena, my body will be purged off all the tasty street crap I have been pounding down for the past two years. Street cheese hotdogs from the CP Cart on the corner of Funky Lane and Sok San Road in Siem Reap, the Nutella egg cream banana pancakes on every street corner in SE Asia, those deadly little coconut cakes, gristly beef on a stick, OMG grilled barbeque chicken bones by the railroad station at Keng Khoi Thailand, dried squid on a stick, grilled crocodile.

Please tell me someone has seen any local variety of what I call lechon. Platanos? Goat? Deep fried Chicken Feet. Middle class places or working class places?

I'm a little shocked that you think the girls have poor taste in food. My experience has been the opposite. Absent the occasional Ban Nok (hick farmer chick) you run into in Thailand, the girls know what the tasty stuff is even if they can't afford it. Ill never forget the time I took a hottie from Nonthanburi (a hickish suburb of Bangkok) to a place for "modern Thai cuisine" in Thong Lor. Thats like taking a Romanian village girl to some fancy cafe on the Rue de Honore. Her eyes bulged when she saw the prices, but she sure knew what to order. Nothing beats a $5 plate of Spicy Squiddicks. How would I ever know that spicy squiddicks were so good? Even though they are $1 in the seafood market in MahaChai.

Be that as it may, seeing some of the butts on the Colombian girls, I know they know where the belly busters are.

Now that being said, I like mine petite and slender. That's going to be a hunt I'm sure.

Hey and how do these girls rate in their oral skills?. Outside the BJ bars, Thai girls are meh. Cambodian girls don't like yamyam. Me no do, go to ladyboy.

I need a break from that. Not ladyboys, the refusals.

They all look in their 20's, early 30's seems rare. A lot of very good looking women. Because I am used to the high prices of America, I think I paid too much. 150 k, 250 k, and 300 k, in pesos. The top two were fucking very good looking. It seems they all have fake tits. Beautiful but a little firm for me. The asses are fantastic and the 300 k girl gave up the ass for another 150 k. I know I probably paid too much, but the most expensive one was only about a 100 dollars. Tonight is Friday and I am hitting it about 9:00 pm.

I do have a question. What about the El Paraiso Marino Club? Is it worth going? Still looking for that perfect one.

The security here is good. I have to unlock an iron gate and two doors to get into my apartment but I have never seen a guard on duty. The place is dark at night. I live on the third floor and never see anyone coming in. I could run a brothal out of here. The apartment is small and the water is cold but it is in the heart of the action. Next time here, I would be tempted to just get this place for pussy and stay somewhere that has hot water. Yes I am a pussy. Got a real winner out of La Dulce Vida.

Today we have a wonderful thing called Google Maps. .Here is some advice to the cheap charlies like myself, if you do use Google maps as much as I and you want to conserve how much data you burn while using it, you can download the city map before you leave while you are on WiFi just do the following. Open Google Maps on your phone (I have an android so I make no promise to the iPhone users) once Google Maps are open enter Cartagena Colombia into the search box, once the map orientates itself to showing the city of Cartagena at the bottom there should be a white section that says "Directions" "Save" "Share" buttons, but what you want to do is just put your thumb on the white part where the name of the city is and pull it up to reveal that along with buttons that say "Directions" "Save" "Share" there is now also a button with an icon that indicates download and says below it "Download", hit that button and then center the tourist section of Cartagena and hit download at the bottom. When you arrive in Cartagena, open Google Maps, click on your account photo at the far right side of the search bar, and when the drop down like menu pops up click on "Offline Maps" and pick Cartagena and your in business you are no longer using data to navigate. In case my directions here are not clear, read the article in the link.

Well tonight I thought I would first venture out to a place called El Paraiso Marino Club. 25 k to get there. Cabby tried to stop at the Pley Club but just said no. The Paraiso is a dump, the girls, God bless 'them, are mediocre at best and a beer cost 8 dollars. A shot of good whiskey cost 256 dollars. This is a rip off place. They should just be honest and rob you at the door. I stayed for half a beer and left. I asked one cabby for a ride but he rushed inside to tell them I was leaving. Another cab dropped off a couple so I jumped in and he took me back to the Clock Tower. This was about 11:30 PM. The cops were just shutting down the plaza and the clubs. I was told they would reopen tomorrow but with a shorter schedule, 11 pm I think. Until tonight they stayed open until 1:00 am. I figure I am fucked so I start back to my apartment. A woman about 25 or so, I don't really care for any younger women, said Hello,. I am thinking what the hell she has a perfect body, how bad could her face be. She dropped her mask and she was beautiful. Built like a brick shit house and good looking to boot. She says 200 k for the hour. We go back to my apartment, never see a soul in the building. She gets naked and ask if I would like anal. Culo or something like that. My Spanish is passable but the finer points of sexual lingo escape me. 100 k for the anal. I must sound like an ass freak but this was the first trip I did that. More trouble than it is worth. Big dick, don't we all, in a very tight hole and only lotion for lubricant. Had a great time. We laughed a lot. BBBJ was great. Let her out of the building and sent her home in a cab. Best night yet. By the way there was a shit ton of women in the plaza and clubs. Well a lot to me, I estimated a 100 total in the plaza, the streets between there and the clubs, and in the clubs. That's the report gentlemen. Tomorrow I am moving to the Dann. Wanted to check out the beach babes. Wish I was staying where I am but another mistake on my part.

Any advice on the beach pussy would appreciated. I also really enjoyed the sunset at the Cafe del Mar yesterday. It's not all about pussy, well maybe almost all.

I know that well. I always do it (did it, now traveling is out of question) when I travel to a place where a local SIM is too expensive vs. the number of days I stay, and roaming is too expensive. In Colombia, I buy or recharge a Claro SIM, I put it in my 4 G Mobile Wifi router, and I have my personal wifi for laptop and phone with me, still retaining my original number on my phone in roaming (I want people do not see me with phone off for a long time).

There is one drawback though: with offline maps, Google Maps does not calculate walking and driving shortest paths to guide you. It just gives you the map and position (for those who don't know, GPS is free and available also if phone is offline in airplane mode).

It's not all about pussy, well maybe almost all.Playa Hollywood has been traditionally known as where the prostitutes hang out. The Dann is right on Playa Hollywood, you do not have to travel far you are there. There is an Afro-Colombian named Tony works Playa Hollywood. To some people he is just another annoying tout but to others he is like a concierge. If there is pussy on that beach Tony knows it, its how he makes a living. I usually advise people to stay away from Tony just to keep from giving him a cut because I am cheap bastard, but seeing as how things are not normal there right now maybe you can try him out just keep in mind that Tony make a cut off every service he provides. These videos will show you what he looks like. Apparently from this video, this guy uses him as a concierge.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOr_tDC6_3U&t=94s

This give you an ideal about how many touts and vendors are out there on the beach during normal times (this video is 11 years old but it was the same a year ago) Tony shows up around 2:31.

Another touristy thing to do is to take a taxi up the big hill to see the Convento de Santa Cruz de la Popa a convent builiding and grounds on a large hill that has great views over the tourist areas of Cartagena and the Bay of Cartagena all the way to Tierra Bomba Island.

Wait, are you serious??

Or, more likely, a comma was skipped by the text parser.

I cannot refrain from reposting here a story, which I reported a few times already, about a guy who thought that the ATMs in the airport were offering $300,000 dollars withdrawal, instead of 300,000 COP.

Well tonight I thought I would first venture out to a place called El Paraiso Marino Club. 25 k to get there. Cabby tried to stop at the Pley Club but just said no. The Paraiso is a dump, the girls, God bless 'them, are mediocre at best and a beer cost 8 dollars. A shot of good whiskey cost 256 dollars. This is a rip off place. They should just be honest and rob you at the door. I stayed for half a beer and left. I asked one cabby for a ride but he rushed inside to tell them I was leaving. Another cab dropped off a couple so I jumped in and he took me back to the Clock Tower. This was about 11:30 PM. The cops were just shutting down the plaza and the clubs. I was told they would reopen tomorrow but with a shorter schedule, 11 pm I think. Until tonight they stayed open until 1:00 am. I figure I am fucked so I start back to my apartment. A woman about 25 or so, I don't really care for any younger women, said Hello,. I am thinking what the hell she has a perfect body, how bad could her face be. She dropped her mask and she was beautiful. Built like a brick shit house and good looking to boot. She says 200 k for the hour. We go back to my apartment, never see a soul in the building. She gets naked and ask if I would like anal. Culo or something like that. My Spanish is passable but the finer points of sexual lingo escape me. 100 k for the anal. I must sound like an ass freak but this was the first trip I did that. More trouble than it is worth. Big dick, don't we all, in a very tight hole and only lotion for lubricant. Had a great time. We laughed a lot. BBBJ was great. Let her out of the building and sent her home in a cab. Best night yet. By the way there was a shit ton of women in the plaza and clubs. Well a lot to me, I estimated a 100 total in the plaza, the streets between there and the clubs, and in the clubs. That's the report gentlemen. Tomorrow I am moving to the Dann. Wanted to check out the beach babes. Wish I was staying where I am but another mistake on my part.

Any advice on the beach pussy would appreciated. I also really enjoyed the sunset at the Cafe del Mar yesterday. It's not all about pussy, well maybe almost all.

Another guy using Ting? I love that when I hit the airport, I can turn on my USA phone. Handy for $6 a month.I actually use Google FI because I can download the SIM to the electronic SIM or "eSIM". I have had a some trouble with Google FI in the like when I was walking around the Getsemani area my coverage was like 3G service . I like that I can start the service while traveling and then cancel when I get home. and I have both SIM and both phone numbers available if anyone is trying to reach me.


Here is my map of Cartagena:

Hello World Travel 69! Had not seen any post from you in a while and hope you are doing well. I always want to take an opportunity to thank you for putting together the Map and the List, I recently reposted your map and list to the top of the Medellin Map and List thread and I just did the same thing in Cartagena List thread.

Anyone got contacts for a Trusted Cab or Uber that you always use when in Cartagena? I like to find one or 2 and keep them in my contacts when I need to get around. And I'm talking about people that are good peoples, that you can break bread with and chill kind of taxi driver.

Anyone got contacts for a Trusted Cab or Uber that you always use when in Cartagena?My question would be: why would you need that? I never felt the need to have a personal trusted driver there. I take a cab when I need it, and it is 2-3 times a day from Laguito to Centro and back, and from / to airport. Only sometimes they tried to overcharge me. Just know what are the standard fares, and avoid taking the cabs right in front of a club.

I should point out that this photo was taken after a particularly bad downpour and there was huge pool of water in the street slowing down traffic and that caused all these taxis to get backed up a little but it still shows how many taxis are available

Best night yet. .My friend, that's because is better to get that places with a local, 256 USD for a shot of whiskey is just a fraud, Perhaps it is a misunderstanding, or so I hope, if there is something I hate is that they try to take advantage of tourists in this way, But unfortunately, this has become quite common in the city, my recommendation is that you try to be paired with someone who knows the city, if it is a local much better, in this way you will save a lot of money since in Cartagena there are two prices for everything, one for tourists and one for locals, including girls, bars, tours and also on the beach.

Today there is also a curfew from 00:00 to 05:00, therefore everything will be closed from 23:30 hours, more or less. Tomorrow everything returns to normal, that is, until 01:00 am.

Beach: One of the best beaches in Cartagena is the island of Baru in the Playa Blanca sector, you can get there by land or by boat by land, it is usually cheaper but it is a trip of approximately an hour or an hour and a half, the beaches located in the Tourist area like Bocagrande or El Laguito are very crowded but they are not even close to the best beaches in Cartagena. Another very good option is the Rosario Islands or Punta Arena, they are beaches with much more crystalline and blue water.

Regarding sexual lingo, You can say 'Chiquito' if you are going to refer to the ass, or anal sex, it is the most common and most popular word in Colombia, and by the way you will surprise her because it is not very common for foreigners to know this particular term.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional help or guide, as a local guy my only wish is that all our visitors enjoy their stay in the city and of course the beauty of Colombian women.

Best regards.

I'll be staying near to there and need to know if I have to catch a cab to the supermarket or is one nearby where I can get my waters, snacks and other things.There is a minimarket located a few steps from the clock tower, its name is "carulla" there you can find everything you need.

Just saw that PCR tests will now be required within 96 hours of travel. This makes things difficult for those flying out on Mondays. Anyone heard anything about this?As you say, the covid PCR tests are required again to enter the country, but this time you also have the option of taking the test here in Colombia, you just have to say that you had difficulties to take the test in the country of origin and that you you will do the test in Colombia.

There's more to Cartagena then just those places. I want to check out Manga. I hear that's a nice place to get an apartment or condo. Not that I need it, but I'd like to check out the strip clubs. There's only one in City Center, but I heard there are more in the city of Cartagena. As I get more and more comfortable with an area, I'd like to see more of it, but I don't just solo out on an adventure. I look for a guide / taxi who doesn't mind showing me around for some money.

Where the guide may come in handy is if he can steer the Newbe to some of the better providers. I am talking price wise and service. Of course it all depends on the knowledge and honesty of the guide.

Bocagrande was packed Sunday. I think that people are escaping cities on lockdown and coming down to Cartagena because it's less restrictive. Touts are still in force but not as aggressive. I posted up in Oscar's area and enjoyed a day at the beach.

The Christmas lights are still up in the Clock Tower area and the policia was getting people out of the plaza just before midnight. Girls were out on surrounding streets. If you like arepas, check out ColombItalia on Carrera 9 a. Some of the best I have had. Chicas out in this area as well.

I mainly just wanted to lay around on the beach, which I was staying oceanfront in Boca, and swim in the warm ocean. I used a "guide" who hung out by the building and sold tourist tours. I liked the guy and he was able to show me pics of the girls for my shopping pleasure. He would bring them right to me and they were HOT. I asked and they told me that he made 50 mil to set them up. I saw the girls again after the first meeting without going through him and he knew it. He saw us going out for meals ect. a few times. I had no problem with paying this cool kid about $16 US to hook me up with great chicas. When I left I gave him a bag of goodies including beers, mota, food and a few other items I didn't need to bring home.

I treat every tourist leech the same, like a king, firm yet more than fair, because if you stay in one place long enough (as I am won't to do) they get to know you. And treat your right.

Which leads me to the essential question. Tipping yes or no.

Here in Siem Reap, for a short ride, its 25 cents, long helpful rides, $1. Waitresses 20% which is like 25 cents LOL. Thailand I round up.

I love when the folks here in Cambodia trade in bags of reil notes (500,12 cents) for US $20's and $50's.

I spent 3 days and nights with one of them and I speak enough spanish to know that listening to her phone conversations she was not setting up any dates off a website but was working on word of mouth referrals. I also ordered one from mileroticos before I talked to the tout and a different not as hot chica as the pictures showed up. What other sites should I have been using so I could save $16.

It depends on the chica. Some may do it online and others not. I remember one chica who only advertised online, and as you guessed it she frequently got messages from touts on the beach. She claimed the chicas at night in the old city were mean. I got the feeling she just didn't want to be walking the streets selling her ass and preferred to screen via whatsapp.

In any case, do what you want with your $16. I'm just making it clear no tout has an exclusive line to the hottest chicas in Cartagena. Whether you go online or go to the venues to see them yourself, it's all right there.

I was just informed by a chica in Cartagena that clinics may already be planning to increase the price of covid tests for Americans or they plan on giving the Americans positive test results and suggesting they pay hundreds of dollars to change the result to negative. They know that Americans will be desperate to have negative results to be able to get home. Now, I don't normally believe what chicas say but I see this is a very likely possibility. What can you do if all the test centers are charging hundreds for their test? Nothing, you have to pay it to get home. This new requirement will open the flood gates for scams. Just be careful. I'm making plans to have a negative test in my hands when I board and I ain't paying hundreds for it.

I recommend that you go to the medical center called Medihelp, it is located in Bocagrande Cra 6 a No. 5 - 101, it is known and has a good reputation, so I do not think that they lend themselves to scams with these covid tests.

Y'all better get used to it. No one is going anywhere without a test and or a vaccine or both and I bet its both. I considered moving my flight out and staying longer, but I don't see the requirement being lifted soon. Its the way of the new world. China won.

There is still a chance you can get Covid after the vaccine but if you do, the evidence shows it will be much milder.

As for why to get the vaccine, 269 people got Covid who got the placebo and not the real vaccine. That is where the 95% reduction came from. In addition, there were 30 critically ill people with Covid and all were in the placebo group.

I suspect in the future that you will not need a Covid test if you can prove you had the vaccine and do not have a fever, but there are not that many people who have gotten both of their injections yet.

There is currently no evidence to suggest being vaccinated does not prevent you from being a carrier.There's also no evidence to suggest that someone who was vaccinated can infect anybody else. Because there are statistics from the flight attendants organizations we do know that there is minimal risk of getting covid from flying.

Exactly how about some common sense we want to get everybody vaccinated so you're going to get vaccinated and still require all these tests to get on and off planes? For a disease that we now know is going to be endemic for a long time. ?

I am with you on this.Have you considered forwarding this thread to the CDC? Maybe they will see how inconvenient it is and make some changes.

No matter what you think about it, the rule is there. Complaints probably aren't going to change it. If I was on the ground in Colombia, or planning on an upcoming trip, I'd probably devote some time to figuring out where and when to get tested.

And ensure that you get the correct test.

Given the rate of false positives which is already established and the number of people who are going to be stranded at airports in foreign countries calling their embassy. This will be simplified sooner rather than later......

None of this is required for travel within the United States..... it's a fact that the United States actually has more coronavirus than any country we could possibly travel to..... And we actually have all these new strains as well.

https://www.eluniversal.com.co/cartagena/detenidos-en-cartagena-con-pruebas-negativas-falsas-de-covid-EE4042879I pulled some quotes from the article translated by Google to English.

"during the control process they noticed alleged "irregularities in the test codes, which is why it was decided to verify directly with the laboratory. ".

"When doing this verification process, it was discovered that the Americans "had not taken the tests, but that the tests, presented to Migracióand Colombia, belonged to other people, who would have taken them in October 2020. ".

I wanted to highlight this because I had read in an earlier post where someone claimed it was easy to turn in a fake test, but I am not sure if they were saying when leaving the USA or when leaving Colombia.

Because they are FLAILING. The authorities all around the World (whether they be health officials, governors, presidents, mayors, judges etc) don't really know what to do, but when you have 90% of hospital beds occupied, you have to try something. It's sort of human nature. If you throw enough shit against the wall, it's got to work.

I expect there's a possibility of being banned from Colombia for some period of time plus some stiff fines.So the story goes that they arrived in Cartagena on Jan 8th (day after mandatory PCR test were required) and somehow (story doesn't say) they were required to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. They tried to leave on Jan 14th and provided the fake results when leaving Cartagena and got caught. The Colombian gov't changed the rules on the PCR test from Jan 12th to Jan 7th.

Something happened to arrived that caused the mandatory quarantine. 2 things can cause this: Not arriving with your PCR test results (probably didn't know of the date change for PCR test) or taking a test at the Colombian airport and it was positive. Because of the 14 day quarantine, they couldn't leave either unless they had a test saying they were negative. I guess the thing that made it suspicious was that they were trying to leave 6 days after arriving. No way you going to go from positive to negative in 6 days. Yeah that is suspicious, so they called the lab about the results and got caught. They endangered the lives of Colombians by coming in hot (if that's the case), staying and doing god knows what, then trying to roll out. Oh they going to be in some serious trouble. If they do the contact tracing and one of the people they came into contact gets really ill and dies. Shit they may be in Colombia for a long time.

They tried to leave on Jan 14th and provided the fake results when leaving Cartagena and got caught. The Colombian gov't changed the rules on the PCR test from Jan 12th to Jan 7th.UG, I think this is how it goes. I was supposed to go to Colombia on January 11. USA Embassy said no PCR tests required until January 12. As you said rules are changed to January 7. There were two reason I did not go: hassle of getting PCR at the last minute and how much Covid is in Colombia.

If I did go, Colombia would have put me in quarantine, and as I have said before, Colombia does not play around with quarantine.

So you are in Cartagena stuck in a hotel room, you are supposed to get a PCR test done and I have no idea how long this takes. I am sure it is not as expensive as here, but you have to sit around on your ass waiting for the results. If you did not have to wait in some line for hours with a negative result to get out of quarantine, I would be shocked.

Maybe you try to get one and are frustrated and say fuck it, I am going to just buy a negative result and get the hell out of here.

To me, the problem is not how the lab sheet looks but why you did not show that you had a negative test when you came in right? I am not sure whether their fake test was in Spanish or in English.

Oh they going to be in some serious trouble. If they do the contact tracing and one of the people they came into contact gets really ill and dies. Shit they may be in Colombia for a long time.I do not see any mention these people had active Covid disease, and I doubt they did.

As someone who almost got caught up in this trap with changing Covid 19 testing requirements, I have some sympathy for them, but I have told people it is stupid to go in with fake test results, and we have had people here say they have done so.

People think lab results like medical records are private, but they are kidding themselves. Any record held by a third party can be obtained by subpoena with a gag order without your knowledge and HIPAA allows for all kinds of government intrusion into your records.

If the lab was called and the lab personnel asked for consent to release the lab results and you refused, shit, the Colombian authorities would probably double whatever sentence they were planning on giving you.

If you have a fake test result, all it takes is one phone call to the lab and you are royally fucked.

I think these people may have had something on their passport or electronic visa that said that they have to quarantine. But because they wanted to leave before 14 days, they needed the negative test. I wish I could see their fake test to see how bad they tried to fake it. They probably just crossed the original person's name out and wrote theirs in.

If Thailand doesn't want to welcome my money by letting me come and go, there are alternatives. The air is bad in Bangkok again already too.Well there won't be any reports from me out of Cartagena, as I found a way to get back into Bangkok and am now waiting out the 14 day quarantine period.

Reading the reports about the 3 amigos who got caught with fake COVID-19 tests was quite amusing. Before entering Thailand, my documents were checked no less than 6 times, and they were extremely thorough. Each document was looked over with a fine tooth comb.

So when you heading back to Sosua?I would like to make Cartagena my new spot! So much to see. Its a beautiful and historic city. Big enough to mix things up, but not too big. Taxis were cheap and plentiful. The testing requirement to enter complicate things, because I can't go to work if I'm awaiting a test result.

So I may have to do the su until I can go to Colombia with no test. After that I don't plan to spend much time in the DR.

Because of Colombia's tax laws I don't think I'll retire there. But when I retire I'll definitely do 3 months a year there.

Maybe mix it up between Colombia Brazil and DR. We shall see. I have a few years yet.

Hi,

Viral test means a viral detection test for current infection (I. E, a nucleic acid amplification test or a viral antigen test) approved or authorized by the relevant national authority for the detection of SARS-CoV-2.

Any chance they tell you how long is the wait?

The longer you're in this game the harder it is for you to choose". Words of wisdom from Olkool. I think that's This place definitely delivering it's share of chicas. However, nothing seems to capture my attention. I definitely like the overall scenery. I think these street chicas are just a little too seasoned for me. But I'm not giving up.

About two hours later we went to club Dilibri. I think I spelled that correctly. This place play American and Colombian hip-hop. A young crowd seen. The place was jampacked and after being in there I know that I'm going to need another COVID-19 test. After about 10 minutes inside the club my partner and I noticed besides us only about 10 more people had mask on. I guesstimate about 200 people in the club. That was jam packed for a Monday night.

Cartagena has a nice crowd and I can see why brother P like the vibe.

They had another club call Maria I think. It's open 24 hours however my iPhone was in the red so I cut the night short and went home. I could have easily pull something however I don't like jumping the gun.

I read a lot of these girls flake and don't show up however this chica video me several times on WhatsApp. She said she was bisexual and asked me did I want a threesome. I pass however we agreed to 150 mil with A possible upgrade depending on performance. 24 yr old About 5'7 and 147 pounds. Her complexion reminded me more of a biracial woman. Her body was all natural with naturally curly hair however, it was Bleach to give it a two-tone look. When she arrived my wingman Smurf start giving her compliments. I tried to give her to him prior but he was stuck on finding a Chica with a very big ass.

It was an excellent session and I will repeat with her. BBBJ and she aim to please. We agree later for me to have sex with her friend.

Smurf called up a naturally fat assed Chica he got a number from last night. Smurf like the club. He just stood in the back collecting names and numbers. I don't know how he's going to remember all of those chicas.

Smurf girl was a bust. She arrive the same time my chica did however she did not perform the same. Smurf said she would not give him a BBBJ so he gave her 100 mill to leave. I told him he should have negotiated upfront it would have save him time and money. Sometimes guys get caught up with negotiating a price; they forget to establish mandatory requirements. I knew his Chica was a bad choice because when she came in our room she immediately went to the refrigerator and open the bottle water without asking anyone.

I read a lot of these girls flake and don't show up however this chica video me several times on WhatsApp. She said she was bisexual and asked me did I want a threesome. I pass however we agreed to 150 mil with A possible upgrade depending on performance. 24 yr old About 5'7 and 147 pounds. Her complexion reminded me more of a biracial woman. Her body was all natural with naturally curly hair however, it was Bleach to give it a two-tone look. When she arrived my wingman Smurf start giving her compliments. I tried to give her to him prior but he was stuck on finding a Chica with a very big ass.

It was an excellent session and I will repeat with her. BBBJ and she aim to please. We agree later for me to have sex with her friend.

Smurf called up a naturally fat assed Chica he got a number from last night. Smurf like the club. He just stood in the back collecting names and numbers. I don't know how he's going to remember all of those chicas.

Smurf girl was a bust. She arrive the same time my chica did however she did not perform the same. Smurf said she would not give him a BBBJ so he gave her 100 mill to leave. I told him he should have negotiated upfront it would have save him time and money. Sometimes guys get caught up with negotiating a price; they forget to establish mandatory requirements. I knew his Chica was a bad choice because when she came in our room she immediately went to the refrigerator and open the bottle water without asking anyone.You really have to be careful with the online dating it tends to attract women who can't compete face to face with the others. At the clock tower or the Disco.

All the girls over there are wearing bathing suits. Tony's kind of a pain in the ass but he has a nice selection.

I booked a trip from the 19th to the 28th of February. I've already had one covid vaccination and I'm going to have another in a week. Of course I still use all social distancing and the rest but it does make me feel more comfortable traveling. Mostly be down by playa Hollywood. And if the Clock Tower there's one particular girl I'm looking for..... I found a very reasonably priced place with hot water in Laguito so it's a nice walk over to Juan Valdez in the morning... Between travel credits for canceled vacations last year and all the rest it's really quite reasonable.

I understand why Colombian chicas are obsessed with silicone. While they may be more Eurocentric facially attractive; their overall body features lack The natural physique so common among the Cuban and Dominican republic chicas. Many of these chica have obviously been under the knife. This is a problem for both me and my wing man however we try to make it work.

90% of these chicas start their price with 300 million pesos. I haven't met one that started under 300. However they have no problems negotiating down to 200 mil. That's almost double what I give in the DR. It's all good. If I really wanted to be cheaper I would have went to Medellin.

Later on that evening I met a tourist guide That solicited us for business. He show me a on a post board a popular African-Colombian community that was a popular place to visit among tourists. All the older women of darker complexion Dressed in traditional African Colombian clothes we're from the area. Looking at the photos I fell in love with the place. Take us to this area right now! Wait a minute do they have nightclubs there? Are there any bars and places to hang out like the clock tower? He reply no. We pass- all that touristy shit is overrated for us.

I keep telling these guys you cannot introduce me to a chica because you don't know my style. He asked me to give him a chance showing us around. I explain to him in Spanish and English my wing man Smurf wants to see (una chica negra con culo grande). Black chica with a fat ass. Actually Smurf was getting under my skin. He kept reminding me every 30 minutes what he wanted. We agreed on 100 mill and he called us a taxi.

We traveled outside of the wall and went to at least three places. Every time we got out I was disappointed. However Smurf was more disappointed. Trying to take us to these casas with 2 or 4 chicas inside is like trying to sell me a seashell on the beach. We are not interested. What a freaking waste of time. I'm just glad the trip only cost us about $15 apiece. That was worth going on the outside of the wall and getting a feel for the area.

Later on that night we went back to club delirium. Smurf and I found something to take back to the room. I look at both of our catches and thought they are so far from the average chicas the average Americans would consider. Smurf found a 5'5 195 lb caramel complected thick chica with a fat ass.

I settled with a brown skin complected chica that reminded me Facially of an African lady I use to have sex with. About 13 years ago. This chica gave me 100% GFE. She literally tried to fuck my brains out. She squirted all over my bed so I had to sleep on the couch. Definitely the starting player of my new lineup in this country. I gave her 220 mill and a dress which she loved.

Thanks for checking! An antigen test is fine. Per the CDC order, it just has to be a viral test. Here is their definition of a viral test.

Viral test means a viral detection test for current infection (I. E, a nucleic acid amplification test or a viral antigen test) approved or authorized by the relevant national authority for the detection of SARS-CoV-2.

Any chance they tell you how long is the wait?Of course, here is the completed info, We perform a nasopharyngeal swab antigen test for the diagnosis of current covid-19 infection. Cost $ 150,000.

Results in an hour. (It is only done by appointment and in person at the Bocagrande headquarters).

One thing I love about these girls I've noticed so far is They don't persistently call you. If you communicating with them through WhatsApp up and they contact you they will wait for your response. I am so used to the DR women constantly and rudely continuously calling trying to get my attention. These chicas have a much better attitude and communicate quicker overall.

Last night we went to the clock tower about 9:00. As we get closer to the weekend there are more and more chicas available for business. I will say 85% of them have enhancements to their bodies.

I really should give a few of these blanca chicas a chance. So many have pinched my butt, grab my ass, And introduce themselves to me. They don't seem to have the am so pretty I know you going to pick me attitude that you find in the Sue. I've been told that I look mean and unapproachable by at least three chicas. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to be more complementary and Sociable.

I was teasing a tout for information. I told him I want to find a place with the women are more Caramell to chocolate. I went in my phone and started showing him examples photos of Chicas I've had in the past. He said you're not going to find chocolate like this unless I go to a particular area. However, he told me those chicas were in high demand and the bidding starts off at 500 mil. He told me I was better off staying in this area where the Blanca chicas or asking less peso.

After about 30 minutes at the clock tower watching chicas flirt to no avail and watching Smurf get about eight numbers from chicas I was ready to call the chica from yesterday. Some of these chicas remind me of guys in the hood that buy big rims for their little cars. The rims just don't seem to go with the car's body. Many of these Chicas asses are just too big for their body.

I finally see a chica up my alley. She was posted against the wall near the clock tower and wouldn't walk around like the rest of the Chica. Caramell complected, solid body, nice big Titties. I was trying to see if those breasts were real. She reminded me of a Haitian fresh on the block in Sosua. Facially she couldn't compete with the other chicas. Physically she had the body that they would and have paid to possess.

She said she was from an area five hours away. She was there with her chubby cousin. Even Smurf turn down an opportunity to meet her chubby cousin. Big chicas are his preference. She was 20 years old and when I ask her how much she told me 70. Huh 70? Did she mean dollars? At first I thought she meant 700 million. But no she was asking 70,000 mil. Damn she must be new on the block. Hey Smurf I'm out.

This chica did not drink or smoke. She didn't have any kids and seeing very happy I chose her. I stopped to the store and asked her did she want anything and she was good. Not a soda, beer, or snack. I even offered to buy her something to eat if she was hungry.

We took a shower together and she did her thing. Believe it or not I got her to squirt. My sheets were Hand washed and dried during the day from the chica last night. Damn here I am again! Guess I'll be sleeping on the couch again tonight. The maid comes in the morning. Her performance was on par with my starting player from last night. I gave her a nice dress and 140 pesos. You should have saw the look on her face. I honestly felt guilty given her 70 mill pesos.
