Cartagena Reports

[Wiild]

Interesting! It was a long time since I was in Cartagena, the curves and the enhancements of the girls impressed me. As a fan of oversized curves: big silicone boobs and ass, Is Cartagena still the place to go? To me it was better than Bogota but that was 7 years ago. I am also looking at going to Medellin, it would be interesting to get your opinions on what city has most highly enhanced girls?


I will say 85% of them have enhancements to their bodies.

You may need to check out Barranquilla and Santa Marta. I here there are more Afro-Colombian chicas there. I have never been there though.If you want to look for this kind of Afro woman Cali is your city to go.

Coming for a few days in 2 weeks and what to know the best clubs to have fun. I am used to great clubs in Sao Paolo with rooms in the club. I want the best quality but know it will cost more. Also are the hotels OK having visitors with COVID as if I find a good one would want to bring to the hotel during the day. Staying at the Hyatt. Any recommendations would be really appreciated along with an idea of cost. I will of course provide a full report for others after my trip.

Why don't you just come to New Orleans. You don't even have to leave the country for that type body. I can walk around the corner and I'll be 30 of them.Yes but prostitution is illegal in sex prison. I see the younger women around my city however, since Backpage closed down, they ain't trying to shake something.

You may need to check out Barranquilla and Santa Marta. I here there are more Afro-Colombian chicas there. I have never been there though.I would venture to say that of all the places with solid information and reports on mongering that Cali probably has more Afro-Colombians than the Caribbean cities of the Costenos = now of course the Caribbean cities like Barranquilla, Santa Marta, and Cartagena too have a greater percentage than say Medellin for sure the greatest concentration of Afro Colombians is on the West Coast. The city with any significant population with the most Afro Colombians is going to be Buenaventura. There is not any good intel that I have seen on the mongering scene there though, with a population of 400 thousand I am sure there are probably hookers there. At one time it was a very dangerous place too which would have deterred tourism, at one time it had a murder rate 10 times as high as Chicago. That has supposedly improved and it is much safer now. It is a significant port city so I a guessing that there must be a hooker market of some type.

In the Caribbean cities of Cartagena, Santa Marta, Barranquilla etc the people call themselves Costenos (pronounced Coast-tee-nyos) In Medellin they are called Paisas, in Cali they are called Caleos but Cali is in the same department (state) as Buenaventura which is in the region just slightly north of Cali and that region the people are simply called Afro-Colombian.

I didn't think about venturing to other spots that seemed more Afro Colombian. I did had the idea however Mr. E explained it like this. Going to Cali looking for hookers like in Medellin Colombia is like going to Atlanta looking for slot machines like in Las Vegas. So I chose the areas where there are many reportings of mongering taking place.

Any recommendations would be really appreciated along with an idea of cost. I will of course provide a full report for others after my trip.The area between the Dilirium Bar, La Dulce Vida and the Clock tower is loaded with pussy. Some flat out beautiful. About 200,000 to 300,000 will get you anything you want. Starts late. After 9 or 10 pm.

[Mr Enternational]

After about 30 minutes at the clock tower watching chicas flirt to no avail and watching Smurf get about eight numbers from chicasWhat is he doing with all these numbers?


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.There you go fucking up the prices. DR dudes always going around ruining shit for everybody else! See you thinking in dollars again. I remember when the exchange rate was 1600. That 140 would have been $87, instead of the $40 that it is today. You stay away from Santa Fe where the prices are 35,000 and 40,000.

1. You are trying to get guys to stop thinking in dollars.

2. You are trying to get guys to stop over paying.

Better for you to go Aruba and face into the wind and take a leak.

Just show me where the Chica are and tell me what are the going rates", Mr E 099. You taught me that in your developmental classes you gave me. For Pete's sake the average girl bidding started at 300 mill. Smurf has some chicas that ask for 600 mill. Many chicas negotiated down to 200.200 mil is the norm and the average here. That chica outperformed the other chicas, didn't ask for food, drinks, or snacks when I offered. I paid her below average which still is double of what she asked. I don't see me ruining the market from that Homie.

I remember Mr. Gogo had a Venezuelan. He had been trying to get her for a few days. He finally got with her and when they finish he gave her 1500 pesos. That was an average payment. He said how she gave him one of the best performances he had that year. She didn't ask for money, but she was expecting it. Her Amigas were in Punta Cana getting 4000 plus. I teased him about giving her an average payment for an over average performance. The next time they met she opened her mouth and asked for more and he gave it.

My Point is once I understand what's the average I respect the game. The average here is getting 200 mill. This chica ask for 70 mill. She's all natural 20 year old with no children. She did an encore from the chica last night whom I gave 200 mill is repeatable.

Given her double of what she was asking for was still less than average. I got to respect the game. I checked out the prices before I got here. If I want it cheaper I could've went to Medellin.

You doing all that criticizing you should have been showing me the ropes but you decided to go to Lima. You just get ready to show me Brazil and then I may check out Asia with you.

[Kafka]

200,000 is the base rate.

Myself and my good Colombian buddies and a few of my close trusted gringo friends here in Medellin regularly get off the charts amazing sex GFE for 1 to 3 hours with a 7 to 9 paisa or Venezuelan for 100 to 130 mil.

And not not all are centro putas rather just friends of friends in the barrios, some are so real and sweet that you want to give a propina in addition to the agreed upon 100 mil but don't as you just fuck it up for others.

The weekend warriors who come into Colombia and hit either the Clock Tower in Cartagena or Park LLeras clubs and street girls in Medellin and throw money at them like their a rap star is the reason are much different than the expats who are here and provide some stability in price points.

My friends, some of which who smash 2 or 3 a day here in Medellin, and never come on these boards and talk about any of it. I am talking 2 a day every day of every week of every month of, you get the idea.

I am a point in my life where I am satisfied with the 5 chicas I had this past week, the is good for my style and thirst, 4 were new and one was a favorite from a few years ago. I have about a dozen who have been on me for the past 2 weeks to give them some attention. And most importantly is that they all know that I pay 100 to 130 mil MAX for a few hours plus taxi. I could have easily pulled the trigger and had about 4 others during this average week but decided to use that energy and time and spend it in my hobby.

We all have or I should say we all should have a hobby or passion to do other things aside from or in addition to this hobby of P4 P and so my new years resolution is to round out my life with just a bit more balance and in the past 3 weeks I put this resolution into play and I already am in a much better place in both my mind and my body.

Lets keep it real out there guys.

Now we return you to the normal broadcast.

I am also looking at going to Medellin, it would be interesting to get your opinions on what city has most highly enhanced girls?I be been to Medellin only twice. The most recent in 2019. There are others on this board for more qualified to answer that question. Medellin is a bigger city with twice the population. The surgery is obviously inexpensive to women who want to look better throughout the country. I would confidently say Medellin. However for it's simplicity Cartagena is a good choice for our hobby. The city is less restrictive and you can find a large amount of opportunity in a small area.

IMHO Since it's a competition thing Amongst the Chicas, and these chicas overall don't have the desired Cubana and Dominicana physique; Enhancements are Normalized for the chicas I am seeing at the tower.

[Kafka]

What exactly do you pay for a beach chair up in Medellin? Want to go out and go scuba diving what are they charge in Medellin? How much to go for swim in the ocean?

Oh wait I know what you do you get on the plane and you fly your chica to Cartegena...... And of course you do. I've been to Medellin women are great there but there I left after one day.....

[ScottyMarky]

Any update on COVID situation in Bogota? Anybody there these days? Please update the forum. Is it safe to travel on Feb 1st? I heard they are going to close the Airport.

[MongerHunger]

What exactly do you pay for a beach chair up in Medellin? Want to go out and go scuba diving what are they charge in Medellin? How much to go for swim in the ocean?...There's a nice beach called Mountainside Beach in the mountains just outside of Medellin. You can rent chairs and place them on your preferred mountain top for awesome views of the city for 850 k. Scuba gear is expensive in Medellin. It will set you back about $1000 USD. They won't except pesos at the scuba station. They do charge to swim in the ocean in Medellin. You have to pay for blocks of time and they only accept credit cards and euros. No exceptions!

I've been to Medellin women are great there but there I left after one day.....Both Smurfs and I agreed on Cartagena when we researched on both location and the average temperature for this time of the year.

We knew we would pay more in Medellin. However considering the information we had we Unanimously chose Cartagena. Mr. Tallman thank you for your contribution. I've learned a lot reading your ventures.

I've been reading the reports. It's well known Medellin is cheaper for rooms and PFP.

Is it fair to compare the normal prices for Medellin chicas with those of Cartagena's? If so then I'm messing up the market. If not all of these chicas have been overcharging me. And guys prior to me have been writing false reports. On several occasions I have been socially conversing with locals constantly reiterating how expensive the area is for people to live in comparison to other areas in the country.

But you're going to take her back to a room looking over the ocean instead of some kind of brick high-rise.

[GrownMan1]

This small area is abundantly more filled with accessible SWs.

But you're going to take her back to a room looking over the ocean instead of some kind of brick high-rise.You are? When I was in Cartagena I stayed in a shitty apartment that did not overlook anything. I left there and moved to a bare bones hotel for $80 that did not overlook anything either.


On several occasions I have been socially conversing with locals constantly reiterating how expensive the area is for people to live in comparison to other areas in the country.That is why after the first time, I have only been to Cartagena for day trips from Barranquilla to go to Playa Blanca. I don't hang around in poorer countries to pay richer country prices. The island of San Andres is even cheaper than Cartagena. I found that to be a shocker.

[GrownMan1]

The next day we went to Tierra Bomba Island. It seems like every Tout name is Tony. The beach was nothing to write home about. Got a massage oh and something to eat.

Call later on that night met a Chica outside the clock towel. We agreed 150 million and a tip if she's good. We got in the room and she started spitting on my Johnson like she was trying to give me a HJ. Yes licked my balls but that was it a BJ. When we finish I politely gave her 150 mil. And then I gave her 10 mill for the cab.

She played top model in the dress I picked out however she left empty handed. I thought you said I could have the dress she asked. I thought we agreed you were going to give me chupa. I replied back. She was nice but she tried to be slick no repeats.

[Combo]

That is some insightful information. I didn't think about venturing to other spots that seemed more Afro Colombian. I did had the idea however Mr. E explained it like this. Going to Cali looking for hookers like in Medellin Colombia is like going to Atlanta looking for slot machines like in Las Vegas. So I chose the areas where there are many reportings of mongering taking place.Actually Cali has a very good scene. While not as many gringos visit Cali as do Medellin, there's no lack of available pussy. And yes, more Afro-Colombian influence, but to find substantially more, you want to hit the Pacific Coast. Buenaventura, and if you're really adventurous, Choco.

[YippieKayay]

You are? When I was in Cartagena I stayed in a shitty apartment that did not overlook anything. I left there and moved to a bare bones hotel for $80 that did not overlook anything either.
You can get a nice girl friendly apartment, nice furniture, flat screen TVs, overlooking the beach, for $80 USD a day. Seriously. Less during off season. They exist and they are clean (as in no roaches with nice lobby and reception).

[Xpartan]

You are? When I was in Cartagena I stayed in a shitty apartment that did not overlook anything. I left there and moved to a bare bones hotel for $80 that did not overlook anything either.Not 100% sure, but I think it was $80 (no more than $90) my buddy and I paid for a very nice 2 bdrm with a large balcony, plenty of hot water, and ocean view in Laquito. It wasn't luxurious but it was clean and nicely appointed. No regrets.

I also thought that the only really expensive part of my stay was the price of pussy. Much more expensive than Bogota, but why would it be cheaper? Cartagena is a world-class destination with plenty of tourists from all over the world.

[Mr Enternational]

Cartagena is a world-class destination with plenty of tourists from all over the world.Mine too. And this was back when it was 1600 pesos to 1 USD. Those chicks in LDV were talking that 150K stuff. That was damn near $100 when I wasn't paying anything close to that in Bogota, Brazil, DR, Thailand, Philippines. Luckily non-pros saved the day; because I will go home and beat my meat before I give a chick $100.

[YippieKayay]

You're nuts if you are paying more than 200 k for short time.

[GrownMan1]

Well it finally happened. After six years being in the Dominican republic seeing my share of Venezuelans Hi finally had sex with one. I always said if I had one it will probably be in Colombia. The ones in the DR are overrated and overpriced. In the DR the Venezuelans use their nationality as an excuse to overprice you.
In Colombia being Venezuelan nationality means to charge you less. I was quoted 150 mill for all night. She was young and slim with small breasts. About 5'6 120 pounds with small breast. We were in the company of three very handsome young Americans. They were I candy to the chicas as much as a Chicas where I candy to us. While her friends were concentrating on soliciting the young guys; she just walked up to me and asked me for my WhatsApp number.

Bold and confident. Her actions let me know out of her group she was the one I thought would give me the best performance. Through our conversing I found out she was from Venezuela.

She came to the room and we put one in the air. She was so happy when she found out she was going to be my first Venezuelan. After an excellent BBBJ. She gave me a good performance and did everything I asked of her. 160 mill Was her exit fee. I only kept her for the session. I don't like letting strangers spend the night with me. Besides, this is our last night I might want to get another session in.

It's Friday night and we hit the clock tower about 1015. The club closes at about 1130 tonight. Normally the club closes at about 1030. I seen the 70 mill peso chica standing on the wall with her Chubby cousin. They look like they don't have a chance in hell against the other Chicas.

They just stood on the wall observing all the action. I was wondering why won't they walk around like the rest of the Chicas? I guess they know their position. I thought about jackals waiting for the hyenas to finish eating to maybe get lucky.

I'the say there are some beautiful chicas here. Columbia as I remembered has a noticeable different variety of other nationalities mixed in its population. Looking around the area at about 11 pm there's about 75 chicas of all different types. Except deep chocolate.

I saw the chica I wanted that was perfect for me considering what was available, however Smurf still needed me to hold his hand. He likes sitting in the back of the club calling on big ass chicas. My Chica didn't have a cell phone so she gave me her Amiga's number. 30 minutes later I'm looking for her but only her Amiga is responding trying to solicit me to take her instead. She even sent me a photo of her kitty cat.

If silicone implants or not a problem for you I think the average person she love this place. Many of these women surgery went very well. They have truly made themselves attractive. They have that mature grown woman shape!

If most of my friends were here they would tell me stop telling me about fake titties and ass, beauty is an allusion anyway. You're spoiling it for us. So I apologize to those who are tired of reading me talk about it. But it could be a dealbreaker for me and it was so many times. Smurf felt the same way. He like them big anyway and he didn't want a six pack with his phat asses.

Can you believe we went home empty-handed. They were venders, chicas and others still out standing around and cabs everywhere. Some people we're going to the after party, a place where one of my tout were trying to solicit us to go for the last three days. I noticed one cab driver act like he didn't want to take us back. We got in another cab headed back to our room and got stopped by the police.

I'm wondering why the hell did they pull over us cabs? First they talk to the cabdriver. They came to the car and told us to get out. Is this a shake down?

I asked to cop why did he pull us over and he said there's a curfew. I looked at my clock and it was 12:10 am.

I've had girls leave my room later than this in a taxi. We are in transit to our room but he's right there is a 12 o'clock curfew and my partner and I never paid attention to the time. We just left at lease hundreds of people at the clock tower and he stopping us in a cab because it's after 12.

I told him I'm also in law-enforcement. Smurfs back me up pointing at me saying yes he's a police. We both knew that was years ago, I have changed my profession. He then asked for my credentials. I reached in my pocket and gave him my license to carry weapons ID card. He started turning it from right to left, The color transition start illuminating with his light. I told him that was for my gun.

He said since I'm a police officer he's going to give me a break he was about to give us a citation. I told him no and demanded either he give me a citation or take a photo with me in Spanish. We all laugh when I told them It was a joke.

Smurf saw me sticking my chest out in front of them demanding a ticket he didn't know what the fuck was going on. After he witness all of us laughing he was lost. He was so scared he couldn't hold the camera to take the picture.

I have been stopped by the police while riding in a taxi. This was around 8-9 years ago, This was before the peace treaty with the leftist rebels and there was some kind of high level meeting going on so there were actually military and police check points all over the city but every other time they saw I was a gringo and just waved me through. This night I had just pulled a chica from the clock tower area and she and I had jumped into a cab to head back to my apartment in El Laguito. Just as we were leaving the old city area and pulling on to the road that parallels the ocean the cops waved our taxi over roadblock style. I had to get out and be searched but the chica was never asked for even her ID. The chica told me they were looking to see if I was carrying drugs. I have not messed with drugs in years and would not in Colombia anyway, I know some do and to each his own but I would not want that hassle. That was the only time that happen to me.

We just left at lease hundreds of people at the clock tower and he stopping us in a cab because it's after 12.A few days ago the government announced that any foreigners found partying after curfew would be deported. Reason was because over 60 Venezuelans were caught partying after curfew so now the law applies to all foreigners. But good thinking. Also they are pulling people over doing drug checks. Had it happen to me last year going from the clock tower to El Laguito. Me and my boy got checked and the girls got checked.

Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for all the details too. I'll be there in a week so all your info will come in handy.

[Nyezhov]

What is he doing with all these numbers?

There you go fucking up the prices. DR dudes always going around ruining shit for everybody else! See you thinking in dollars again. I remember when the exchange rate was 1600. That 140 would have been $87, instead of the $40 that it is today. You stay away from Santa Fe where the prices are 35,000 and 40,000.Boy you are going to hate me. I don't really have the energy to negotiate. 200,300, 400 all same same, on the other hand.

Mr. E, I know you know this scene. Picture me in the Thermae, its packed and there is the ultimate hottie. But a farang hater. This supermodel type (at least with her clothes on) won't even look at me as I shuffle around the bar clockwise making the girls giggle as I mess with the Chinese guys walking the wrong way (the girls loved hearing me call the dudes stpid buffalo (kwai) and disgusting lizard (hia)). After my third trip, I stand right in front of her and fan out B5000 ($130). The going rate for Asian punters is B3-5000. She ignores me. I then walk around again, stand right in front of here and fan out B10000 ($330). Her girlfriends start chattering, and she finally looks at me and gives me a big smile.

And I stuff the wad in my pocket, chug my soda, and head over to Mixx where I buy a Russian. Actually an Uzbeki, but she speaks Russian so its all good.

The moral of the story is, at least for me, if I make you an offer, take it. If not, there are more of you.

I'm wondering why the hell did they pull over us cabs? First they talk to the cabdriver. They came to the car and told us to get out. Is this a shake down?

I asked to cop why did he pull us over and he said there's a curfew. I looked at my clock and it was 12:10 am.
It's not a shakedown. It's part of the anti-drug effort in Cartagena. If you had drugs on you you would have likely been shaken down for a bribe.

[The Tall Man]

Well it finally happened. After six years being in the Dominican republic seeing my share of Venezuelans Hi finally had sex with one. I always said if I had one it will probably be in Colombia. The ones in the DR are overrated and overpriced. In the DR the Venezuelans use their nationality as an excuse to overprice you.
In Colombia being Venezuelan nationality means to charge you less. I was quoted 150 mill for all night. She was young and slim with small breasts. About 5'6 120 pounds with small breast. We were in the company of three very handsome young Americans. They were I candy to the chicas as much as a Chicas where I candy to us. While her friends were concentrating on soliciting the young guys; she just walked up to me and asked me for my WhatsApp number.

Bold and confident. Her actions let me know out of her group she was the one I thought would give me the best performance. Through our conversing I found out she was from Venezuela.

She came to the room and we put one in the air. She was so happy when she found out she was going to be my first Venezuelan. After an excellent BBBJ. She gave me a good performance and did everything I asked of her. 160 mill Was her exit fee. I only kept her for the session. I don't like letting strangers spend the night with me. Besides, this is our last night I might want to get another session in..She burst your virgin first time fuck a Vennie chica hehehehe, heck in Medellin it's hard not to find and fuck a Vennie, just last night around centro my Colombian buddy recommend a young slim Vennie, I had him message her and in 5 minutes she was standing in front of me ready to make use of all the embellishments and amenities at the local No-tel Motel located about 30 years away, rocked my world for an hour, busted on her large breasts, she was nice and had a great attitude to boot so I granted her 70 mil.

And damn after our time we headed out on the street and met up with my Colombian buddy who fucks 2 or 3 and even 4 of these every day and damn if he was not with her Vennie girlfriends (some lesbian and some bi and others straight should that matter, NOPE!) and today he has 3 dates set up with these new Vennies, yes pounds them and reports back to me and then I smash them and we discuss specifics and opines afterwards, hehehehe gawd we are lucky guys.

Just in the past week out of 8 chicas I have had 5 were Vennies and all were new fucks no repeats but out of the 5 Vennies 3 I will repeat.

Good report and have fun in Cartagena.

Much love and respect to all.

The Tall Man.

Boy you are going to hate me. I don't really have the energy to negotiate. 200,300, 400 all same same, on the other hand.

Mr. E, I know you know this scene. Picture me in the Thermae, its packed and there is the ultimate hottie.LOL. Nah I was just fucking with Grown Man. We hang out together a lot. I do not care what anyone pays. I will say what it is possible to get away with in a lot of cases, but at the end of the day when a guy is caught up in the moment and has starry eyes then he is going to do what he is going to do.

It never fails when I am showing a guy around somewhere and he wants to jump the gun before I am finish showing him. Or I tell someone a list of musts and they get sidetracked to something else and never get to the must do thing. I try to teach people to take care of business first then go have fun. Once my brother put a deposit down on some stuff in Thailand but never went to pick it up because he could not pull himself away from the women for 30 minutes.

If you had drugs on you you would have likely been shaken down for a bribe.That's a shakedown, my friend says if you do have anything (drugs) just put them in you shoe, they never take your shoes off, and when thinking about (been pulled over many times) they never have taken shoes off, any one with a different experience, interested if true! Be safe guys!

[GrownMan1]

It's not a shakedown. It's part of the anti-drug effort in Cartagena. If you had drugs on you you would have likely been shaken down for a bribe.That would've been just my luck. The day prior to leaving and that happened. He had the right man at the wrong time. I never walk around with anything on me. I don't know how many times I heard inmates say, "I should have just went home and not carried it on me". My Colombian homegrown was in my room secured. Had I been riding dirty and got caught, I would have paid the bribe and charged it to the game. Situations like that can always get worse if you don't handle it right there.

[Servas]

Hi all,

The wonderful Cartagena, I stayed one week, but went hunting only two days. Clock tower square had lots of girls to choose from. You could find skinny ones, old ones, young ones. I decided to go with one who was cool to talk to, her name is Yuri. There are lots of Venezuelan chicks here. At the beginning she wanted to charge the usual price of 400 Pesos / nigh (About 100 USD), but I got it to 300. The previous day I got a skinny gorgeous one going for 200 Pesos / night, but I wasn't in the mood. We went to a club called Delirium for dancing. The club was packed! With women, all the types, sizes, races and ages possible. No mouth-mask, just nice dancing as in pre-covid time. Then we went to my hotel. I was staying in Celina, close to the fair building. Lots of hotels (Supposedly because of COVID) will not allow girls in there, but I went in so late (12) that the door guard didn't mind. We have very good sex. She was a stunning black women, long threaded hair, had boob job, ass job. For me, she was like a 8/10. She did a very good hand-job, sucked my dick without condom and let me fuck her deep. She came two times, I came one. We ate and continue with the second round. At some point the condom snapped inside and she notice it (I didn't feel it). She was in her mid 30's, but her pussy was tight (Or she make it tight).

Next night I took another chick I meet at Bazurto (Local market). I speak Spanish, so I wouldn't recommend picking up girls from there who don't speak. This one was 30 years old, small skinny black girl, short curly hair, small natural tits, big nipples, tight ass. I would rate her a 6/10, but it was going for 50 Pesos, a bargain. We went to a local motel per hour, so no problem to enter. I banged her straight as we were drinking for hours before. This pussy was so wide, I didn't feel nothing. She allowed me to remove the condom but even then it was not good.

I have to come back. Soo many gorgeous girl.

[GrownMan1]

We get back to the room; Smurf a little shell shock from our close encounter with the police. In our area there are a few people walking around just like at the clock tower. It's that sense of vibe after curfew that made us not pay attention to the time.

We both had options of using the WhatsApp contacts we had. It was Smurf that suggested we call The 70 million peso Chica and her chubby Amiga. He too was sympathetic and thought they didn't have a snowballs chance in hell when compared to the other chicas. He started talking about how thick her thighs looked. Smurf then looked at me and said, "you must think I'm crazy don't you". I had to tell him, I've been in this game long enough to know everybody has their style. The purpose of this Game is to get what you want to be in your bedroom and enjoy the experience.

It took them 15 minutes to arrive at our hotel room.

I was kind of happy I was able to give them some business. I said to myself what are the odds of both of these girls getting business together with two friend on the same day at the same time.

The little chubby friend had a nice personality. She also had her hair tied in a ball. Smurf immediately requested that she let her hair down. She had beautiful long wavy silky black hair that ran down her pass the middle of her back. She love Smurf reaction to her display of letting her hair loose.

My chica was worthy of a repeat so that was the reason she was there. Smurfs said The chubby chica tried her best to please him. Her BBBJ was well performed. In the end he asked her how much and she didn't know how to respond. He gave her 1 million and before he can give her some more change she started thanking him. So you can imagine how she felt when he gave her another 50 mill.

Smurf was good the next day. I however, I had to have one for the road. So I called back up my first chica.

Thank you Cartagena you gave me to switch up I need it and ask for. Hopefully I'll see you again soon.

Arriving Cartagena on February 4 for a week for some good times. I've been there once before so pretty familiar with the area and the chica game. If anyone wants to grab a beer and hang out hit me up!Planning a trip there in May, for the first time. It's been three years since my first trip to COL, did Bogota and Medellin.

Wish I could take you up on the offer to meet up.

Hope you take some good notes and post a trip report, have a great time!

[OnFireBoy]

Thanks for all the reports, I hope your stay in the city has been pleasant, just a correction regarding the values in pesos, it's not 70 million pesos, it is just 70 MIL (one thousand) pesos.

Any update on COVID situation in Bogota? Anybody there these days? Please update the forum. Is it safe to travel on Feb 1st? I heard they are going to close the Airport.A couple of possible resources you might want to use regarding both entry requirements and CV in Colombia: for CV, though it is not specific to Bogota https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ It is updated daily.

Entry restrictions are https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/COVID-19-Country-Specific-Information.html These are updated frequently and cover most territories on the planet.

[Dublin12]

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.As I understand matters, the problem is that vaccination should make you immune from the disease in the short term, but it will not stop you breathing in the virus, and later breathing it out on someone else. Apparently, the virus stays live within the person for up to a month or so. If you are immune through the vax, and then move to another country, even though you are asymptomatic, you are capable of spreading it.

The anti-vaxxers will only add to the problem in delaying eradication of this. I was chatting online with a girl in Phils and she tells me that there have already been many deaths related to Vax in PI. I googled it, https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/29/philippines-covid-vaccination-policy and as of last Friday, there hadn't been any vax delivered to PI. It seems that there was a previous vax scare in PI related to Dengue and this has been conflated with the current problem.

I can't say that I blame them for not trusting their gov. The Dengue Vax is sourced from the same biz that provides the Sinovax, and it appears to have reached the same stage of approval (incomplete) as the Dengue Vax. I see also from the news report, that PI have ordered smaller quantities of the Pfizer jab. My guess is that being PI, the rich will get Pfizer, and the rest will get Sinovax.

[Dublin12]

There is currently no evidence to suggest being vaccinated does not prevent you from being a carrier.What you say makes perfect sense. In most cases, the vax gives you immunity, but all that means is that the virus can still be inhaled and exhaled by you with immunity. But people who breathe in your exhaled air can be infected by you. In other words you become a carrier, and as you are asymptomatic, nobody will have a clue that you are a carrier.

https://abcnews.go.com/Health/vaccinated-covid-19/story?id=75489379

Extract: Do I have to keep social distancing?

"The answer is distinctly yes," Schaffner said.

There are a few reasons for this. First, since the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are roughly 95% effective, there's a 5% gap -- meaning there's a small chance you could still become infected. Second, clinical trials were set up to determine whether the vaccines could prevent serious disease and death. They weren't designed to study whether vaccinated people could contract the virus and remain asymptomatic while spreading to others.

[Dublin12]

Shit for $15 he can do all the work.

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.You've just reminded me of my trip to SR. The hotel I stayed at checked me in but the room had not been tidied up from the past occupant. When I looked, I saw they had left a tip on the pillow for the cleaner. It was two 50 riel notes, (about 2 cents US).

On another trip to Cam, I picked up a girl in PP for a 4 day trip to Snooky. I usually leave a $1 dollar tip for the cleaner each day on the pillow. So after my first night, I think I've left $1 but when I look, it's not there. Naive as it sounds, it doesn't occur to me that my "guest" might have taken it. I'm rewarding her well. I must have forgotten to leave the $1, so I place a $1 on the pillow shortly after we leave the room. I get about 10 yds and remember I've left my Debit Card, and I go back to room and again there is no $1. I call the girl back to the room. Tell her to pack her bag and then pay a tuktuk to take her to the bus station. I was really annoyed. These cleaners are earning about $20 a week, and I was giving the girl $50 a night. Apart from the fact that she would probably have stolen from me as well had she got the chance, it seemed such a low thing to do.

It's unknown if you can spread the virus if you've been vaccinated because they haven't been any studies. So out of an abundance of caution of course we're going to take all measures. But there are very definitely studies about how long after you sick you contagious..... And it's nothing like a month.

So out of an abundance of caution of course we're going to take all measures. But there are very definitely studies about how long after you sick you contagious..... And it's nothing like a month.I think you may have misunderstood me. It seems perfectly reasonable to me, that if you have been vaxxed, though you may be immune and never caught the disease yourself, if you then mix with infected persons, you will then breathe in the virus. I mention 28 days because there are plenty of people who take that long to recover. But even if it's only say 5 days. Those five days means that every one that comes into close contact with you is at risk of infection from you.

If you breathe in infected air, that air does not become uninfected because you are immune. The pre-flight testing is looking for both sick and asymptomatic carriers.

Regarding the length of the illness: https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/how-long-does-coronavirus-last.

Extract: How long does it take to recover?

The COVID-19 recovery period depends on the severity of the illness. If you have a mild case, you can expect to recover within about two weeks. But for more severe cases, it could take six weeks or more to feel better, and hospitalization might be required.

Further extract: One study from China published in Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery demonstrates this: In the study, a woman had mild COVID-19 symptoms, which disappeared after 2–3 weeks. However, she retained a positive diagnosis status for over two months.

My unprofessional opinion, is that it's a very weird illness and symptoms have varied from innocuous such as mere loss of taste and smell, end even cases involving a rash on toes, all the way to double viral pneumonia. The latest I have seen is that it is now being linked to onset diabetes. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/02/01/covid-new-onset-diabetes/.

I hope you don't think I am fearmongering, but it seems that this virus has lots of tricks to play on. Us. Personally, I am going stir crazy sitting at home and I feel like I am in a bad business deal where I am looking for a loophole to have a break somewhere quiet, and every time I think I've found one, CV slams that door shut in my face.

I almost obsessively try to read whatever vaccination news I can find. I might very well be wrong, but my understanding is that as Kafka said: it's just an overabundance of caution.

Vaccinated people shouldn't, theoretically, spread virus, but it's not known empirically whether they do or don't. However, in order for you to infect someone it's not enough to "breathe in infected air. " The infection should take hold first. The uncertainty is exactly there: even if you're immune, do you become a carrier and spread the disease? It's not impossible, obviously, but still unlikely. It's not like you breathe it in, and voila, you now infect everyone you get in contact with.

There are companies that create immunization passports, based, as I understand on the premise that vaccinated people do not spread the disease. But again, we don't know for sure, and only time will tell.

But again, we don't know for sure, and only time will tell.I don't claim any expertise in this matter, but if you are warned that shaking hands can spread the virus, there is an obvious case that even vaxing still requires hand hygiene from both parties, and preferably no contact. Similarly, the reports vary, but the figures are that the virus can survive from 3 to 72 hours outside the body. The there is PPE which is always incinerated after use, and this includes items such as surgical gowns, which on the face of it, you might think can be laundered and recycled.

I personally don't see that how an inoculated person will be able to kill the virus by breathing in, and if they breathe out, they must be expelling the particles of the virus that they've just inhaled, as well as retaining some of these. Given that, I am strongly inclined to believe that inoculation will turn those who come into contact with an infected person to likely become asymptomatic spreaders. Of course if I am right, there is a new danger to the extent that the spreader, because they have no symptoms, are unlikely to get tested, so we may never know the true extent of this, if it does indeed happen. However as those vaxed grow in numbers, the most likely source for calculating this will be places like airports where pre-flight testing is mandated. If my beliefs are correct, we will in due course, see the virus in people who have had the jab.

During the meantime, the advice is that the vaxed still need to wear a mask and distance, and countries like the US are anticipating the possibility of the vaxed being asymptomatic spreaders. There may not be any evidence yet, and I may be wrong, but if we wait for the evidence before taking action. ? That's shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

[Kafka]

I suggest you start reading a few medical books about how viruses work. It takes a certain viral load to get infected. Even if you breathe in the virus if your body keeps it from replicating you won't have enough to shed to infect anybody else. Of course if you really want to remain afraid go right ahead the government and the media will oblige you

I respect everybody's opinion and everybody's going to do what's best for themselves. So I'm not telling you what to do and I suggest you reciprocate with the same.

Don't travel to Columbia that's all but most of us are interested in making the trip and as can be seen by many of the posts here people have had a good time. The truth is there is less covid in Columbia than there is in America

I looked for an article on mask wearing the vaccine. When I used google, I was swamped with BS propaganda. I went to duckduckgo and it was like the second hit. Google is getting damned near useless on anything that smacks of controversy.

I can see why you would speculate on things if you were using google, but the piece does a good job of rendering an opinion based on the data: https://www.medpagetoday.com/blogs/vinay-prasad/90764.

So I just returned from 7 days trip into Cartagena, fun as everyone assured me.

• for entry by air to Colombia you need to provide 1-PCR COVID-19 results and 2- fill in a Colombian online form 24 hours before arrival, which also needs a passport picture file jpeg or png https://www.migracioncolombia.gov.co/contingencia-check-mig.

• for return to USA you need 1- a PCR or Viral test (viral test was half price and results are much faster) and 2- Colombian form again and 3-fill in US attestation form for COVID-19.

• for Chica friendly apartments, I rented through Airbnb and made sure to ask this question and had a local guide I knew from previous travel check with building security to see if they are bribable, I am not sure if it is against forum rules to provide building name, but you can message me for it.

• Old town square / clock tower was very live, lots of picks and they were willing to negotiate on prices, my usual was 100 mil pesos / hour for chicks that I like and 150 for super model looking type (I don't speak Spanish, and my haggling power goes down when my little guy is excited), I found this to be the best way to pick up chicks as you can see the chick's attitude, can recommend a few and definitely blocked a few others after 1st meeting.

• Websites had less selection, bad quality and high prices, I do not recommend them in Cartagena.

• Tinder was slow for girl pickup, had picked some numbers from tinder / Instagram but by the time I got to Cartagena they already left (I definitely regret missing on super sexy twins from Medellin).

• A lot of scene for other fun as well, I dated a local girl, I went to the islands, disco, restaurants etc, definitely sated a lot of cravings for minimal amount of money compared to USA.

• Powder was easy to get, first batch was bad and I barely felt anything other than numbness, 2nd batch was super super powerful, I stayed fully awake and horny for 6 hours after just a very small pinch.

• I couldn't upload photos, stuck at %7 forever.

Don't travel to Columbia that's all but most of us are interested in making the trip and as can be seen by many of the posts here people have had a good time. The truth is there is less covid in Columbia than there is in America"If your body keeps it from replicating."

The emphasis should be on 'if'.

"So I'm not telling you what to do and I suggest you reciprocate with the same."

I have no recollection of telling anyone what to do.

"Don't travel to Columbia that's all but most of us are interested in making the trip and as can be seen by many of the posts here people have had a good time."

And there you are telling me what to do? In fairness to you, I think that is based on you wrongly surmising the motive behind my post. I trust you will reconsider that comment?

I too am interested in going to Colombia. The only thing stopping me is that the lockdown in Ireland and the UK is so stringent, that I can only leave home for essential reasons, and foreign travel is very strictly controlled. I would not get past the check-in desk. Reasons for foreign travel are very limited and unless I am travelling on business, returning to my own country, or need to look after a sick relative because nobody else is available, I am stuck. I can assure you that as soon as I've had my jab, and the travel restrictions are lifted, I will be booking my ticket, and I will gladly comply with whatever restrictions that are placed on my return, including the mandatory self-isolation.

My comments are not specific to Colombia and arose because people here were questioning the need for a "clear test" before being allowed to return to the US. What I wrote was why I believe the US thinks that these tests are necessary There is so far, no evidence one way or the other that vaccinated people cannot spread the disease. Xpaartan posted that he thought that there was an overabundance of caution. He may well be right. As far as that goes, NZ eradicated the virus and went weeks without any new infections while introducing strict 14 day quarantines for people entering the country. Then they allowed two Brits to bypass the quarantine on compassionate grounds, as they were visiting a serious ill relative. They brought the virus with them, and since then NZ has not been able to eradicate it again.

FWIW, I am in favour of an overabundance of caution by govs. There is no point in shutting the stable doors after the horse has bolted. I am originally from the UK, which has an 800 year history of hearing about strange plagues etc, originating in the Mediterranean and a couple of years, coming to England. One thing we should have learned from history, is that these "plagues" are always brought in by foreign travel. In spite of this, the UK gov did not enact any precautions at the border controls until July. You would think that being on an island with with border controls would have offered a lot of protection from "foreign travel" as a route of transmission. I looked at all the island nations with a population of 1 mill plus, and then compared the per capita mortality rates, Top with 1586 deaths per mill was the UK. Second is Cyprus with 167. The three most populated island nations on the planet, are Indonesia, Japan and Phils. They had 111,46 and 99 respectively. The UK is a classic case what happens when you throw caution to the wind.

Finally, this forum is about exchanges of ideas, info and stories, and that is all I've ever done. My posts are made in good faith, and are on the basis of, "This is what I've read / heard", or "This is what I believe". I could be wrong but I as far as the possibility that the vaxed may be able to asymptomatically spread CV, it is far too early for any conclusions to be reached and we are unlikely to know for several months one way or the other. I mention this, because you appear to have concluded that I have an agenda to put people off of hobbying. If that were the case, I'd be posting similarly everywhere. Apart from the Cartagena forum, I have made one other CV related post on the Cambodia forum, which was about the entry conditions for Cam. They require that you deposit $2 K in an Cam bank account designated by them, ostensibly to take care of any charges that you may incur related to CV. In that case, my comment was about whether once I made the deposit, I might see the return of that money. That was based on my first visit to Cam when I was extorted at the airport to pay the visa fee twice. Since then, I've always obtained an e-visa.

I looked for an article on mask wearing the vaccine. When I used google, I was swamped with BS propaganda. I went to duckduckgo and it was like the second hit. Google is getting damned near useless on anything that smacks of controversy..I should point out that most of what I have posted is not based on Googling, but from watching reputable news sources such as Sky, BBC and C4. The problem with that is that I obviously cannot give you a link to a TV prog for verification, so I look on Google for similar items that confirm my original news source. My posts are not "google originals", but confirmed by google.

Update of curfew schedules in Cartagena.

I recently travelled to Cartagena and returned to the US. Unfortunately, the new USCDC covid testing requirements came into effect a few days before my departure. I met this requirement by visiting Clinica Medihelp in Bocagrande. I took an antigen test for 170.000 pesos. Their website suggests that the results take 3 hours; however, in my case the results were available in less than two hours.

I seldom post anymore here but just had to chime in with a piece of my mind.

Myself and my good Colombian buddies and a few of my close trusted gringo friends here in Medellin regularly get off the charts amazing sex GFE for 1 to 3 hours with a 7 to 9 paisa or Venezuelan for 100 to 130 mil.

And not not all are centro putas rather just friends of friends in the barrios, some are so real and sweet that you want to give a propina in addition to the agreed upon 100 mil but don't as you just fuck it up for others.

The weekend warriors who come into Colombia and hit either the Clock Tower in Cartagena or Park LLeras clubs and street girls in Medellin and throw money at them like their a rap star is the reason are much different than the expats who are here and provide some stability in price points.

My friends, some of which who smash 2 or 3 a day here in Medellin, and never come on these boards and talk about any of it. I am talking 2 a day every day of every week of every month of, you get the idea.

I am a point in my life where I am satisfied with the 5 chicas I had this past week, the is good for my style and thirst, 4 were new and one was a favorite from a few years ago. I have about a dozen who have been on me for the past 2 weeks to give them some attention. And most importantly is that they all know that I pay 100 to 130 mil MAX for a few hours plus taxi. I could have easily pulled the trigger and had about 4 others during this average week but decided to use that energy and time and spend it in my hobby.

We all have or I should say we all should have a hobby or passion to do other things aside from or in addition to this hobby of P4 P and so my new years resolution is to round out my life with just a bit more balance and in the past 3 weeks I put this resolution into play and I already am in a much better place in both my mind and my body.

Lets keep it real out there guys.

Now we return you to the normal broadcast.

The Tall Man.This is the same treatment I get in the DR. I've been here for almost a year now hardly know any Spanish and can count on my hand how many full timers I've been with.

It really kicked in when a friend sent me one of his chicks I also like variety and she so she volunteered her friends. When I asked how she could possibly have so many friends she addmited she ran out of them a while back and just started asking around the Barrio if someone wanted to make some money. Then I asked everyone to bring a friend and everyone except my maid and a nurse did.

Even my Landlady offered up friends. When I asked how did she know I'd want someone she said she saw the amount of chicas going in and out. She offered a former neighbor and law student who offered anal in lieu of pussy. I told her I needed a few strokes in the pussy so that I would be hard enough for anal.

Because none of these chicks were professional BB was on the menu and for most CIP was available as well.

I expect the same treatment where ever I go and got it even in the States. I will be in Colombia soon and I'm gathering Intel now.

Trip.

[GoodTimes4444]

Just arrived to Cartagena yesterday evening, very easy process through immigration. Just be sure to have pre-registered your Colombian immigration form online and have a copy of your negative Covid PCR test. Found a great Airbnb close to the Clocktower area and there is a doorman but he leaves every night at 9 pm and I have my own set of keys to the building. The unit I'm in is actually 3 stories high with two balconies that over look the Main Street and a really cool private rooftop patio that I'm sure the chicas will like. Hopefully the doorman won't give me a hard time with girls coming in with me during the day but we will see! At least I know after 9 pm is free reign. A little weary from the trip here but of course "carpe diem" is in my head, showered up, then headed out to find a good dinner. Street leaches everywhere and as pesty as ever, tried to be as polite as possible but being stern and making it clear that I didn't need their help did the trick (until I turned another corner and there were another two on my heels LOL). Had a great dinner of Red Snapper and shrimp and decided to check out La Dolce Vida. It was pretty early around 8:00 pm but there were at least 40 girls in there and things were only heating up. Maybe one other group of a party of 5 guys in there and then there was me haha. Grabbed a beer and surveyed the land as I was getting constant smiles from Chicas eager to head out with someone. I'm a little picky and didn't see what I liked so decided to head to Clock Tower square where things were just starting to heat up there as well. After a bit of looking I saw a group of three very cute young looking girls, approached, and picked my favorite after a very short conversation of me awkwardly trying to use my horrible Spanish and translator application (Yes I need to learn Spanish but you can get by easy enough without it here as well!) She was a 21 year old cutie wearing lingerie style black fishnet stockings and a long t-shirt, yeah that's all she was wearing. It looked it little different but she was so hot she pulled it off and it was soooo sexy. She was Venezuelan and didn't have an ID or whatever but I said screw it, let's see how cool the doorman is. We walked 5 minutes to the apartment and it was 8:50, door to the building was locked and apparently doorman left early. Great. Took her up, lifted up that t shirt and everything was perfect underneath including a super slutty sexy tiny black string thong. Ok I think I'm getting too detailed haha but yeah- you can imagine the rest. Had great sex and oral and we shared some laughs and discussions over translator and my broken Spanish. Got her WhatsApp and will definitely see her again. Two more dates set up today with long lost hotties from the other time I came here two years ago that I managed to keep in touch with via social media. Anyways, so far so good here in Cartagena. I needed this!

[Kafka]

She sounds hot as fuck. How long will you be there? I arrive the 19th.

Surfer500 posted this question in Medellin thread and then in the Travel thread and then got some weird message from the administrator because it was though he posted something he did not post, it is an important question for anyone traveling around inside Colombia:

" I'm going to be travelling from MDE to Santa Marta next month. Is there a requirement that you have a Colombian App on your phone to get into the airport to board a domestic flight. Will the App work on a USA cell phone, if not, how is this handled. In other words if you don't have a Colombian cell number on a smartphone will you be able to get inside the airport. Nature of trip is to suck on those nipples besides penetrating some holes. Any help would be appreciated. ".

[GoodTimes4444]

Spent half of the day with a gal I met here a couple years ago. Shared plenty of laughs and kisses, oh and we had sex three times. Wasn't sure how easy it would be to get her in the Airbnb apartment with the doorman / guard but I've been greeting him with kindness and buttering him up by calling him amigo each time I've passed by since I arrived. It was kind of funny, he just stood up, zapped her with his temperature gun, sprayed each hand with sanitizer then gave her the nod. I had to chuckle a bit and was relieved!

We had a great lunch at Buena Vida Marisqueria, ordered three things from the appetizer menu and it was amazing food. As great as the first half of the day was, the evening would only get better when girl #2 showed up.

Here's a few pictures.

I typically stay in 5 stars so looking for something nice and comparable. Preferably ocean front with balcony. Please suggest.As it's been stated many times in this thread, nicer oceanfront buildings in Bocagrande are not guestfriendly. They weren't especially guestfriendly before COVID and have become even less so since. If you can lower your standards to, say, 3. 5*, then search this thread for Juan, in particular, his Marinero building in Laquito. I have nothing but good things to say about him and the apartment.

Any information you have on places you been and about the 5 stats places you stayed will be greatly appreciated!

[GoodTimes4444]

Girl 2 of yesterday showed up and wanted to party at my apartment, this was another girl I had met a couple years ago when I was in Cartagena. She was just as hot and fun as I had remembered and I've been wanting to see her again ever since I left so it was a real treat. She speaks English so that added to the experience for sure. I think the doorman understands the main reason I'm here and this time he didn't even get up out of his chair to check temperatures or sanitize any hands LOL! We just walked right past him with another "hola amigo!" from me.

Long story short: We drank many Club Colombia cervesas, polished off a bottle of vodka, and stayed up until 6 am dancing and singing the night away. She brought some stuff that helped us stay awake all night and it was very good. Here's a few pictures of the fun, she even surprised me with a sexy little outfit she brought for me. Woke up with one hell of a headache at 4 pm but oh what a night!

[Kafka]

There are other good options in Laguito on the lagoon. I snagged a place for $25 a night chica friendly with great reviews on Airbnb.

I've just discovered that the fine for ATTEMPTING to leave Ireland for a holiday is €500 (about $600 US) https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/covid-19-people-caught-trying-to-holiday-abroad-will-face-500-fines-from-monday-1.4471421 I can afford the fine, but the other losses such as air tickets and hotel bookings are likely to ratchet this up to nearer €2 k ($2400 US), so I am going to be patient for a little longer. I did investigate crossing the border to the north, but the fine for doing that is also 500 and If I make it to Belfast Airport, the UK also has a similar travel ban, though the fine is only 200 GBP (about $270 US). This is not so much the island of Ireland, but more like the Island of Alctaraz.

Lockdown will not end here before Mar 5th.

Anyway, I was writing to ask, as I am not sure about the rules on here, are you allowed divulge the name of the Airbnb at Laguito or a link please.

[AmorPorFavor]

I typically stay in 5 stars so looking for something nice and comparable. Preferably ocean front with balcony. Please suggest.You can find a luxury oceanfront airbnb with balcony that allows chicas. I did it January 2020. Just make sure to message the host before booking and make it clear what you want. I said that I am traveling alone and can I bring guests up to the unit for the evening one at a time. Its up to the individual owners whether or not they are OK with that. The security was aware of what the owners policy was and I had no problems at all. They will check the girls in which is great for your protection. It didn't hurt that I made friends with all the guards. Get to know then by name, they are cool guys.

A lot of buildings in Bocagrande have changed policies due to the to pandemic and no longer allow this..... Original poster was correct

[Kafka]

It's not that hard to figure out which ones do which don't. Look under house rules if you don't see specifically that no guests are allowed send a message to the host and ask if you are allowed to bring guests in and if so wonder what conditions. Of course you should explain to them that you are responsible guest and not looking to have large parties. That's all you have to do look under the house rules for guests and then send a message the host. They understand what guests mean.

I did look on Airbnb last night, and came across one review where the guest mentioned it was "guest friendly". I assumed that this was not unique. I also noticed that there was a facility to contact the owner, and that there are plenty of filters so the property itself can be narrowed down. So it's just a matter of putting in the footwork now and working out the geography of the area. I like to have every thing I need within walking distance.

Assuming ISG has no rules against it, I will post any successful leads I come across.

[Kafka]

Sharing here is not a good idea--if any of this is reported to Airbnb those listings will be taken down. And none of us will have access. And this is a public website not everybody has the best interests at heart of our community.


If you want to say chica friendly apartments by location name that's fine. At least in my opinion....for example the palmetto elliptic at this point does not allow guests, unless registered.

For my last few trips (I was living there I'm for a few months in early 2020), I looked at a few places in Manga. None of them had doormen. You could have your chica walk up to the apartment entrance where you unlocked the door and let her in. Súper convenient. I've never stayed in Bocagrande or Laguito. It seemed like too much of a hassle for a terrible beach.

Heading down to Cartagena tomorrow for a few days. My first time. I've been to Bogota many times and just thought I should mix it up.

It's a waste of time to set them up in advance unless you've already been there trust me when you get off the plane it's not going to take long.

I don't recommend motels near downtown in Cartagena, they are expensive and they charge per hour, you can find very cheap hotels in Getsemany (it's a safe neighborhood close to downtown) all night per USD 20, I think is your better option.

If you need any additional info please contact me I'm a local.

I can tell I've already made my first mistake by booking one of those "5-star" hotels on the water. So now I need to figure out how to hook up while I'm there. LOL Any suggestion? Cheers.I'm wondering if Motel Cangrejas near the Cartagena airport us still open.

35 k for 2 hours.

[DrizzyTrizzy]

It's a waste of time to set them up in advance unless you've already been there trust me when you get off the plane it's not going to take long.I hope to run into the big ass and tits ones, that's what I'm looking for any recommendations where?

[Mr Enternational]

I mean, book a nice hotel room or apartment for enjoying yourself and an uber-cheap apartment for enjoying the company. I've seen many 5* hotels for around $100.Seems like that would defeat the purpose; getting a nice expensive hotel for you to stay alone in. I thought the enjoyment was supposed to be with the women, not with the room.

[Kafka]

I hope to run into the big ass and tits ones, that's what I'm looking for any recommendations where?Walk all the way to the end of Bocagrande beach and find Tony at Play Hollywood. It's just past the last raised lifeguard stand towards Laguito. He knows who is around


After that it's just the Clock tower or the Dolce Vita. You're not going to have any trouble action is going to find you LOL.

[Xpartan]

Seems like that would defeat the purpose; getting a nice expensive hotel for you to stay alone in. I thought the enjoyment was supposed to be with the women, not with the room.That's a good point, but I can only travel a few times a year, and my trips are short. Nice amenities are important to me. And mongering while staying in nice places seems to be problematic in Cartagena.

Another thing is that I'm a shorttimer. I really pay them to leave, as the joke goes. I'm very nice to girls, but I'm not looking for a girlfriend. I don't need them to hang out with.

That is, of course, until or unless you really meet a girl who is so much fun you do want to spend more time with her. Then I could just check her in with me, as I always book double. Problem solved.

[Kafka]

Most of them prefer to leave to. They have kids of boyfriends waiting for them.

Surfer500 posted this question in Medellin thread and then in the Travel thread and then got some weird message from the administrator because it was though he posted something he did not post, it is an important question for anyone traveling around inside Colombia:

" I'm going to be travelling from MDE to Santa Marta next month. Is there a requirement that you have a Colombian App on your phone to get into the airport to board a domestic flight. Will the App work on a USA cell phone, if not, how is this handled. In other words if you don't have a Colombian cell number on a smartphone will you be able to get inside the airport. Nature of trip is to suck on those nipples besides penetrating some holes. Any help would be appreciated. ".The CoronaApp was surely required in December. It worked fine on both iPhone and Android. And it worked fine with international numbers. I assume it is still required to travel domestically. It was not hard to use if you understand Spanish.

[Mr Enternational]

The CoronaApp was surely required in December. It worked fine on both iPhone and Android. And it worked fine with international numbers. I assume it is still required to travel domestically. It was not hard to use if you understand Spanish.The Corona App was not required for me in Bogota or Barranquilla in December. I used it in October, but a board member (I think it was Elvis) posted it was not required in November, therefore I did not use it in December and nobody even said anything about it.

[UnknownGuy]

Had a great dinner of Red Snapper and shrimp and decided to check out La Dolce Vida. It was pretty early around 8:00 pm but there were at least 40 girls in there and things were only heating up. Maybe one other group of a party of 5 guys in there and then there was me haha. Grabbed a beer and surveyed the land as I was getting constant smiles from Chicas eager to head out with someone. Hahaha, we must have been there the same time GoodTimes. You weren't lying about the 40 girls. My and my friends counted 4-5 guys and all those girls, but we didn't stay. We couldn't deal with the music so we left after I got one number. We went to the plaza then off to Delirium where the music was just right and the crowd was enjoying it.

[AtlantaFox]

Just had a great 3 days at the Hyatt with someone I met on line and checked her on with me as a girlfriend. Coming back next month and want to have fun with many. Thinking of booking a 5 star hotel for $100 at the Hyatt and then another apartment to bring the girls back to rather than a short term hotel on case any are worth staying the night. Has anyone else done this. Appreciate the advice!

[Elvis 2008]

The CoronaApp was surely required in December. It worked fine on both iPhone and Android. And it worked fine with international numbers. I assume it is still required to travel domestically. It was not hard to use if you understand Spanish.Junior, it may have changed but the corona app (I think that is the one Colombians use to fly domestically if not pardon me) does not work with US numbers. When American citizens enter the airport, they show their boarding pass and passport.

I'm a frequent Tijuana monger, but its my first timer going to Colombia.

Did some reading on this thread and rented an airbnb for the week.

Hope to meet some nice chicas.

Any tips / advice welcomed.

(Also note: I'm not a paid member on ISG. I only have messaging abilities on those other sites).

Cheers.

I would suggest that you do make a visit to Bogota if you can make room for it, heck that would round off your visit as you would experience Medellin and Cartagena and Bogota.

[AlwaysHorny 2]

Super excited! I got a SWEET fare through JetBlue. I'll be down there mid-April. Down to hangout / connect with cool people. I'm a laid-back, no drama, fun-loving dude and seek the same. Probably not going to hardcore monger, but will definitely test the waters. Looking forward to non-mongering activities as well as relax.

Working with Juan to hopefully secure my accommodations. I know Airbnb can be a dicey situation with guests, but if someone can recommend a a place that doesn't cause issues. Please let me know.

I appreciate the reports of BlackPage, YippiefKayak, and Brother P. I will rtff and try to avoid any rookie questions. This isn't my first rodeo. Been going to Sosua forever and ready to expand the territory. I'm glad I have plenty of time to do proper research!

[FrenchFeel23]

First of all, I would like to say thank you guys for all this amazing advice. This is a great an awesome community. If any of you guys are in Medellin in August, I would live to link up and check out a couple spots. I'm a 30 year old (pretty young in the game) and been mongering in SF for a couple years now. Medellin sounds like a mongers paradise and would live to explore with one of you fine gentlemen.

Now my question is about Lutron. I read many amazing but older reviews. Has anybody been there lately? Any good talent?

Also any good alternatives?

[FrankBills007]

I will be there with 2 other friends. Staying in old city. Been there multiple times looking to get back into things. 2/17-3/6. I'd love to meet some mongers not a pod member so PM's won't work.

[W20415]

I got here 4 hours ago. I'm staying in old city near Clock Tower. So far not digging Cartegena. I can't walk 5 ft without being accosted by hawks. I've been all over Asia and never seen any thing close. It's extremely irritating. Also yet to see a single girl. It's early. 6 PM. But there is not a single punter at clock tower. Plus it's more expensive here than in the US. Sorry I don't see the appeal. I just left Bogota. I was in a great location between San Diego and Santa Fe. I was doing well there. Going back tomorrow unless things change drastically later. Santa Fe is almost as good as Asia hot spots Different vibe. A little more edgy. But there are some gems. I'm not getting the same experience here in Cartegena as some of the previous people have posted. Maybe after Santa Fe I was expecting too much.

[Mr Enternational]

Plus it's more expensive here than in the US. Sorry I don't see the appeal. I just left Bogota. I was in a great location between San Diego and Santa Fe. I was doing well there. LOL. That was my experience exactly. That is why one time in Cartagena was enough for me. Maybe if they had a great beach or something, but they don't even have that. You will get more for your money in Bogota or Medellin. Only drawback is Bogota is cold and does not remind you of being on vacation.

[Kafka]

Yeah you're at the clock tower at 6:00 pm looking for punters? Guess you didn't bother reading any other posts on here..... Try going back about 10:00 p.m. plus it's a Monday....

Also yet to see a single girl. It's early. 6 PM. But there is not a single punter at clock tower. Plus it's more expensive here than in the US. SThe only action before 10 pm (other than possibly some casas or strip joints) is on Playa Hollywood. What exactly is more expensive there than in the US? I pay $60 a night for an apartment that has a balcony over looking the ocean. I can find all varying prices of food at restaurants and if I really want save I can get groceries at Supermercado Olímpica dirt cheap. OR I can't east at an authentic Italian Trattoria ran by Italians that serves made from scratch entrees for around the price of a quarter pounder meal in the US. If I shop around and I'm not too awful picky and I consent to a condom even for a blow job than I can find a chica for around $40 which is probably not as cheap as you were paying in Bogota but for my money the quality is better in Cartagena, I realize that many guys have different taste, but there is no other place on the planet that has the concentration of hot chicas for sale in such a small area, but my point is where you going to pay $40 or even $60 in the US when its not some scabies ridden crack ho. So what exactly do you mean when you say more expensive than US?

[OnFireBoy]

You will get more for your money in Bogota or Medellin. Only drawback is Bogota is cold and does not remind you of being on vacation.As I said in a previous post, Cartagena has two prices, one for locals and the other for tourists, however, you have to have common sense and not pay the price they give you right away, and yes, this is the most expensive city in Colombia. , but even so with the current price of the dollar, I do not think it is as expensive as the US.

Regarding the beaches, Cartagena does have turquoise blue beaches, only they are not those of Bocagrande, you need to take a boat or yacht and go to the Rosario Islands, check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v = lV7 aiRnX9 iE.

I would like to go to Colombia for a few weeks starting March 1 or so. I normally stay in Hiltons. Can someone summarize the current situation in terms of bringing girls into various hotels? I would like to stay somewhere nice but without hassles in bringing girls to my room. It seems the situation was hard before and worse now. What about 3 star hotels? What about apartments? Is Juan or Mery still in business? I wrote them both but neither has answered. I knew them from way back. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Kafka looking for advice. I am coming for 5 nights in a few weeks Friday through Tuesday. I have a girl from last time I will check into my hotel for 2 nights but want to "play" the other 3 nights. Visiting casas, strip clubs and guess the Clock Tower late!

Should I play Friday Saturday Sunday or Sunday Monday Tuesday?

[Mojo Bandit]

Which Italian restaurant?Di Silvio Trattoria in Getsemani. Its a little jewel if you appreciate made from scratch Italian. I have been to Italy and eaten at highly rated places and this is just as good. It is near the plaza that a lot of people hang at in front of the church: Iglesia de la Santsima Trinidad, the plaza is called Plaza de la Santsima Trinidad. It is one bloc west of this plaza. I will attach photos and directions. One photo is mine but the others are from Google maps. One image is the map, one image is the pasta dish section of their menu, one image is a Google street map image of standing at the plaza facing west and an arrow showing where the restaurant is and the other image is my last meal there.

I have not even checked on the hotel situation in quite a few years but when I did the ones that allowed girls brought in were more close to 2 star basic amenities places. I prefer an apartment anyway so can cook my own breakfast etc, and I have plenty of space to stretch out and relax as well as entertain.

[The Critic]

Sharing here is not a good idea--if any of this is reported to Airbnb those listings will be taken down. And none of us will have access. And this is a public website not everybody has the best interests at heart of our community.
If you want to say chica friendly apartments by location name that's fine. At least in my opinion....for example the palmetto elliptic at this point does not allow guests, unless registered.Sharing apartment locations and or links is good via PMs between members (broadcasting on forum reports is bad).

Thank you to all those that have contributed to my career as an hornithologist over the years (SE Asia, Europe and S. America) I finally signed up for premium and hope to give back in the future. Heading to CTG end of the month then Bogota after a few days. CTG is my favorite place in the world, outside of AC in Phils. Second trip and last time stayed in one of the luxury beachfront places that won't be named here. Never had issues with late night entrance with a few bills in the hand. But it sounds like COVID may have finally put an end to that. Any recommendations for an apartment in Laguito or Bocagrande that can work please PM me. Prefer more upscale but based on the recommendations here, may have to one to stay and one to play. Last time only visited LDV at the end of the last trip, so it will be front and center this time. In the past it ISIS, Clocktower and Hollywood. Any good clubs at the moment operating with curfew? Hoping also to catch the UK rugby somewhere. Thanks again, first official report right after I land.

I like Cartagena and you have to know what you are doing and know where you are going at the correct time. Don't let small things irritate you. You can ruin your own vacation that way.Yeah. One thing is I really don't drink a lot. So hanging out in Dole Vita with loud music is not my thing. I was at clock tower at 10 last night About 10 to 15 chica out. Most of African decent. I went to an out door cafe and decided to chill and see if it got better. Once again a steady stream of hawks coming onto the cafe seating area hassling me. I decided to blow off Cartegena. Not my cup of tea I'm back in Bogota minus 300 bucks I'm staying here until I go home. Bogota is much nicer than I thought it would be. Nice city. Has everything I need.

2. It's a freakin' Tuesday. Outside of Mardi Gras this has to be the slowest day of the week. Anywhere.

A little research goes a long way. He probably would have stayed in Bogota had he done his research. There is real value $$$ in having your expectations in order. Thanks for the lesson. I haven't been to Colombia at all so I can't speak on Bogota. It's quite apparent the skin tone wasn't his cup of tea either.

People are trying to sell you stuff all the time of course they're trying to make a living all you have to do is politely say no thanks. Once they sense that it's getting under your skin they're not going to stop. They're going to bother you till you give the money or leave.


Yeah. One thing is I really don't drink a lot. So hanging out in Dole Vita with loud music is not my thing. I was at clock tower at 10 last night About 10 to 15 chica out. Most of African decent. I went to an out door cafe and decided to chill and see if it got better. Once again a steady stream of hawks coming onto the cafe seating area hassling me. I decided to blow off Cartegena. Not my cup of tea I'm back in Bogota minus 300 bucks I'm staying here until I go home. Bogota is much nicer than I thought it would be. Nice city. Has everything I need.

Nowhere in the world have I experienced this kind of never-ending harassment. The thing is, though, I read enough about Cartagena before my trip and was mentally prepared for it, and Cartagena is worth the effort, IMHO. Beautiful, historic city and plentiful mongering opportunities for those who are patient and willing to learn the ropes.

[Mojo Bandit]

Any other suggestions appreciated.The following are are the places that I always return to but I also like to try new places when I go because the restaurant scene has exploded since I started going there in 2009. Speaking of which I am fairly sure that you Mr Kafka were posting in the Cartagena thread back then and I think I remember (which is a stretch for me LOL) that even at that time you already talked like a person that knew Cartagena very well, so I suspect you have seen more changes than I have. There used to be another board that I followed back then also, I cannot remember the name but the word "chica" was in it and it covered primarily Colombia and DR.

You probably know the rest of my go-to places already. Some of which are not as cheap as that Italian joint. I never fail to hit up a Crepes & Waffles, whether it is the one in Bocagrande On Calle 9/ Carrera 2 or the one in Centro three buildings north but opposite of Santuario de San Pedro Claver and then just across from Santuario de San Pedro Claver on the plaza San Pedro Claver is San Pedro Cafe that has gourmet seafood and high end dishes and is more pricey. Riquisimo in Laguito has good baby beef grilled over wood coals, served up Argentinian style with chimichurri. That is about the only meal I get at Riquisimo, the empanadas are just alright.

I had the best grilled fish I ever had was at a restaurant that a chica took me to on the beach on at the end by Laguito the one beyond Playa Hollywood that faces west almost toward Isla de Tierra Bomba. There used to be a guy renting a wave runner down there too.

I visited a restaurant a few times back years ago that was ran by a French women, the place is called Oh La La. I used to try to date non-pro chicas off of ColombianCupid before I switched it up to just guaranteed pussy with p4 p, but this was a go to spot then, good date spot. They were in the old city but have since moved over too Getsemani.

One place that says on Google Maps that it is permanently closed is another place I used to visit on every trip, that was Mila Postres, I have eaten their tacos but they were famous for their desserts, and decent coffee too, so I would go for the tacos as an excuse to eat a dessert with a coffee.

Another place I miss is this place that was on the main commercial street in Bocagrande that sold arepas stuffed with spicy ground meat and cheese, damn they were good. The place had a walk up window and tables outside. I had them around 2010, and 2011 but then just didn't go for a while, thought about last trip but couldn't find the place.

Some photos of food and then one of the take home variety of dessert.

[Kafka]

Yes and Juan Valdez. Great spot for non pro-hoes.
And there's a Lebanese dessert place right near Juan Valdez couple blocks down towards Laguito beach side.... Also people should not miss the ceviche they have at the Sombrero place just off the old city...... Also the fruit madres that sell it on the beach...

I have been in the whole coast of Colombia (Caribbean) numerous times including Cartagena. I know all the aggressive punks and it can be relentless.

My rule, I give one "no gracias", if they continue I firmly say with eyes looking directly at them "no gracias, no thanks", if they continue I call them a molesting fucking maricon, get away from me you fagot queer, and if they happen to touch me, invade my space I take a swing at them, no shit this is the only thing that works.

Between Playa De Bocagrande and Playa Hollywood, which one has the better looking water? I'm not concerned about mongering opportunities. I enjoy passing time relaxing in a beach chair. Hopefully, I get at least one day without overcast so I can catch some rays. I thought of taking a day trip to Playa Blanca, but I'm not sure if I want to invest the time / money it would take to get there.

Thanks.

[Kafka]

It's all the same--Playa Hollywood, Bocagrande. Some places have fancy chairs or you can pay a little extra and hang out with Tony and the chicas....lol. That's usually pretty entertaining... but he is a pain in the ass


Don't go to Playa Blanca on weekends it's a mob scene, at least it was pre-covid. Also there are numerous Playa Blancas. As far as getting to a really good beach I would definitely look into some of the excursions from the boat harbor which go to some amazing locations offshore. This is probably your best bet as far as getting to the kind of water that you're probably thinking of.

Absolutely. Maricon away usually works, after being nice of course. The worst thing you can do is be rude right off the bat.

Everything is on the phone PCR test boarding passes, immigration form filled out for tomorrow departure. I'll have everything backed up on paper just in case. I'm taking Spirit airlines everything looks pretty good I didn't select any seats but they put me in windows and the whole plane looks socially distant. I'll be around through next week probably won't do any reports till after.

It is my favorite beach in Colombia other than the ones in San Andres. If you have ever been to, or google the other 2 beaches you mentioned, then you will know it is well worth the trip. It may be cheaper to rent a car and drive than to go by other methods.

Thanks.It was a short boat ride from Laquito where I stayed. The beach was nice and practically empty, the water is clean, and there are a couple of restaurants. One mistake we made was to let the touts from the "mainland" cross with us because they attached themselves to us like leeches and tried to handle everything from beach chairs to food. It wasn't too bad, but we were hungry and had to bargain hard to slash their ridiculous prices by half.

If I were to travel there again, there is a nice little beachfront hotel with a pool, jacuzzi and beach beds. I asked the manager if they'd let me stay for the day for the consumption, and he countered with 50 mil. I'm sure I could've bargained it down, but there wasn't enough time for us left to enjoy it. Even at 50 mil that's already a bargain for using all the facilities and clean bathrooms, IMHO.

[Kafka]

I definitely went to the wrong one. But I think I know the one you're talking about. Yes these leeches attach themselves to you in Cuba they call them jinteros. Jockeys.

Here's some pictures I took in Jan 2020. This is about a mile or 2 down from Playa Blanca. We took a lancha there from Playa Blanca. Its nicer down there with much less people around and no hawkers about. I hired a taxi driver for the day to take us there and be my valet for whatever we needed. We had food and drinks, massages and rented a jet ski. I also had a lot of great meals in Cartagena for about 2/3 what I would pay here in a major US city.

Thanks guys! I did a little more research and it doesn't seem as expensive as I thought. I guess those prices of $200+ are for a private boat. I don't need that. I'm ok with a group ferry.

Mr. International, the car route isn't bad either. I checked prices and it's only $29/ day. Are the roads easy and straight forward driving without a lot of directions? My spanish is ok, but far from fluent.

It appears reservations are required for Playa Blanca, Baru. The beach reopened in December 2020 after being closed for an extended period. Max persons is 1000/ day. Here is the link - https://reservadeplayas.cartagena.gov.co. I plan on going on a Thursday so I shouldn't have too much of an issue. The problem is that I can only make a reservation for 1 person. I would like to option to bring a chica with me if I found someone that seemed cool and low maintenance enough to tag along.

The pictures of the beach proves it is exactly what I'm looking for. Punta Arenas, seems to be a step down and I actually want something a little less crowded.

AmorPorFavor, how much did you pay for the private driver for the day? If reasonable, that might be a viable option. Nice scenery in those pics! LOL.

Taxi round trip from the van drop off in Cartagena was 200K alone; that is what made me rent a car the next time.

The GPS cut out when I got to the dirt road that the beach is on. I asked a guy that was on a motorbike and he led me the rest of the way. He had on a Playa Blanca shirt. Turned out he worked there and took us right to the spot that he works.

I did not see anyone counting people. Maybe that is something they will do for the boats, but not the people driving. The good thing was that the boats that usually run bringing tourists were not running. I guess there is no demand for it due to covid. You will be in paradise before 10 AM, but when those things start arriving polluting and crowding up the water it sucks.

Hi everyone,

I've been reading on here for months and never posted anything yet but would like to thank you all for all the info I've gotten from your reports.

I'm arriving in Cartagena on Monday with a group of friends and would like to know current exchange rate and where to exchange money. I know ATMs are everyone's go to but we will be renting a yacht and doing some pricey activities so we need more cash than an ATM will spit out on several occasions. Any advice is appreciated.

Also, how is the duty free store at the airport? We're young (ish) and a large group so we plan on buying liquor in bulk. Does it make sense to load up at the duty free? We've done it that way in other countries and seems to be cost effective that way.

Last thing I wanted to ask is I thought I read something about filling out immigration forms online before flight? Any info on that?

Thanks in advance for any info, and thank you guys for the wealth of knowledge.

Thanks in advance for any info, and thank you guys for the wealth of knowledge.A year ago there was a cash exchange place in the big mall in Bocagrande at 5th st and oceanfront. It was on one of the higher floors. After factoring in ATM fees their rate was about the same as using an ATM. Have fun.

I used the BBVA ATMs located around the corner of the clock tower plaza. Never charged a fee abs rates were somewhere over 3500 pesos. But my friend was charged $5 with every withdrawal so it depends on your bank.

The prices have dropped On the rooms so I've noticed.I cancelled my previous arrangements and got an Airbnb in Laquito for less than $300 for five nights. Guest (visitor) friendly with no extra fee. It took some searching and very specific questions asked. It's a nice spot with a balcony. The only drawback is lake view instead of ocean view. My previous location had a direct view of the sunset.

[UnknownGuy]

I was told this was the beach with less vendors than Playa Blanca. Vendors don't bother me. I say no gracias then keep walking ignoring them. They get the idea real quick as if they're invisible to me. After a few days of seeing me and knowing I'm going to say no, they don't even bother.

[Mojo Bandit]

Is top shelf liquor for sale in Cartagena?. Asking for myself. The chicas can drink rum.I am not sure you can get all "top shelf liquors", I am originally from Kentucky so I keep my eyes out for top shelf Bourbon (a word to the wise: if it is not made in Kentucky it is not Bourbon, it is just whiskey masquerading as bourbon). I saw no bourbons while I was in Colombia, I do not search thoroughly but I keep my eyes peeled. So that is one of the things that I think of when you say top shelf, I think of say a single batch single barrel Bourbon whiskey, not everyone does. I have seen these Blue Label Johnny Walker Scotch, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Don Julio Tequila (rarely), Kettle One Vodka, Grand Old Parr is a scotch whiskey that is loved in Colombia and found in abundance on the coast, it is considered to be as good as Johnny Walker Black Label and Chivas Regal. Grand Old Parr is owned by the British company Diageo which also owns some of the other top shelf brands that I mentioned and some I did not because I do not consider them top shelf, Johnny Walker, Don Julio, Kettle One, Tanqueray, but also own Baileys, Guinness beer, Captain Morgan and slew of other labels, My point being that if you find Coca Cola some place you usually also find Sprite, so I would imagine that if Diageo has distribution in Colombia they are probably sending most of their brands there.

Again though I am not sure what you are specifically looking for. I personally would start my search at either an Exito or a Carulla supermarket, but her are some other leads to track down liquor. I copied the addrtess straight from Google Maps so people can just copy and paste them into google maps to find the places, that's also why there is some all caps.

This spot in Getsemani looks to have a lot of good labels. Comercializadora Donde Hector, Address BARRIO GETSEMANI CALLE LA MEDIA LUNA #9-95, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia.

[AlwaysHorny 2]

Thanks Mojo. Your response shows the beauty of this forum when members share great info. I try my best not to ask questions that can easily be researched. Not much comes up when using the words liquor and especially top shelf.

Not trying to come off as a snob, but I can't drink cheap liquor. I don't drink that often as I near 50 years of age. I eat fairly healthy and when I drink hard liquor or eat "bad" food my body let's me know it doesn't like it.

Bourbon is actually my go to drink. When I do drink, it's usually Basil Hayden. It used to be Bulleit, but either my tastes have changed or they did something to the formula. I also love Tequilas. Don Julio blanco was my favorite even during the Patron craze started many years ago. I never really cared for it. I'm more of a neat or block ice sipper now, so I have switched to Anejos. My favorite drink on this earth is Dos Artes extra anejo. It's not an every day drink for sure. At least my budget. You can't get it now due to COVID, but if I ran into it anywhere. I'm buying it.

For vacation, I shell out a few extra coins. Not Johnny Blue money, but like Mccallan 12 or Don Julio anejo. I'm well versed in liquor prices and I have a few websites to use as reference. However, if I see those two in duty free and the price is somewhat reasonable, I'm buying it. Don't want to run the risk of not having it just to save a few bucks. It is a pity that duty free is not as good in the past. You used to be able to score some great deals.

I know I'll probably get dragged for this next comment. Same with chicas. If I find one that I'm really vibing with and she's an 8+, I'll fork over 200 k instead of the standard 150 k. All day and twice on Sunday's LOL.

[Questner]

I would suggest buying top shelf in duty free on a way into Cartagena.

I can recommend this one (at least wine prices are better generally):

FYI I have excellent Spanish. Spent a week here. Damn its hot, I can't really go out and explore anything until after 4 pm. Love the clock tower. The clock tower is very small. I feel like everyone is watching me as I solicit, making me feel embarrassed*the first few days. Then girls I have taken see me take other girls the next day as does everyone else at the clock tower, LOL. If I ran into one of my girls I would buy them some water or a beer and flirt with them a little. Then they would see me take another girl LOL. I think it's better than Lleras, the girls are hotter and cheaper. I got very hot young girls for 150, only once I paid 300 for a tall blonde model type and she earned it. She was good but I had equal or better fun with girls that were 150. Yea they don't show up till it gets dark which sucks because I like afternoon delights LOL. I hit up Dolce Vita and Delirium which were very fun and filled with lots of hot girls of all types most wanted 250-300 but as it gets later in the night they do go down in price. I would go there get a drink and get numbers from the hottest girls, later some would text me or even call me when it was closing time, by then I was already smashing. I bought drinks for a couple of girls and of course got hands with them. I had sex everyday at least once a day, the only day I didn't was one day recover from having 2 long sessions. Prices are lower right now because of Venezuelans coming in which the Colombian girls hate, they all trash talked them to me, LOL. There are lots of annoying vendors, I ignore them no matter how hard they try to talk to me. It doesn't*bother me too much. These people are just trying to feed their families, what you spend on one meal could feed their whole family for days. Everyone keeps saying how there are no gringos here, it's all Colombian tourists. Went to Playa Blanca for half a day. It was dead. I wish it was cooler here and wish we had putas in the daytime. Cartagena is a very touristic city, nice to see once if you come with your partner for 3 days to take pictures but for a single guy or to come with bros its not super fun if your not fucking bitches. But I made good friends with many putas and Ill be back. My very first overnight is coming over. A 20 year old Venezuelan, long black hair with gold highlights, prefect teeth, big eyes, tan, natural body, no kids (rare). 500 for all night! Other girls quoted me 600-700 For all night, what a fucking deal, God bless America for USD. Are Venezuelans hotter than Colombianas? I think so, and so do many Colombianas.

Be clean, stay nasty.

I would suggest buying top shelf in duty free on a way into Cartagena.

I can recommend this one (at least wine prices are better generally):

http://www.cccaribeplaza.com/marcas/jumbo

You can check for prices here: https://www.tiendasjumbo.co/supermercado/vinos-y-licores.Thank you. It's a good source to compare prices and know what is available in Cartagena even though it's about a 20 minute ride from where I'm staying. At least I know what I want is available. I will use the prices listed to compare against Duty Free and I'll also use a fairly solid US price source https://www.totalwine.com. Taking Don Julio Anejo for instance. It is $56 at total wine and $59 at Jumbo. Tax rates are about the same. However, I would incur the cost of a roundtrip taxi. I wouldn't think of traveling with liquor in my checked baggage under no circumstance, but if Duty Free is close in price I will just roll with it.

For anybody else that is curious, please note some items have a huge price difference. The price of Moet is crazy expensive in Cartagena. Almost 3 times the price in the US.

[Sammon]

You are allowed 2 bottles of liquor into Colombia. Most Duty Frees are a ripoff and you will fare better going to the local grocery store. What I have done recently is visiit my local liquor store in the States and written down the prices in my phone of the things I drink. Then as I travel around, I write the prices of particular duty frees and overseas grocery stores. I have also been to the military base to write prices from there.

You can go to your app store and download check-mig for the immigration documents.Best prices on duty free is Usa=Canada border (closed now), Dubai, Philippines, India. Taipei was bad before but now changed with cheaper prices. Problem is flights to USA do not allow to board with liquor bottles. Need to buy on landing and put in checked luggage coming back.

[The Tall Man]

FYI I have excellent Spanish. Spent a week here. Damn its hot, I can't really go out and explore anything until after 4 pm. Love the clock tower. The clock tower is very small. I feel like everyone is watching me as I solicit, making me feel embarrassed*the first few days. Then girls I have taken see me take other girls the next day as does everyone else at the clock tower, LOL. If I ran into one of my girls I would buy them some water or a beer and flirt with them a little. Then they would see me take another girl LOL. I think it's better than Lleras, the girls are hotter and cheaper. I got very hot young girls for 150, only once I paid 300 for a tall blonde model type and she earned it. She was good but I had equal or better fun with girls that were 150. Yea they don't show up till it gets dark which sucks because I like afternoon delights LOL. I hit up Dolce Vita and Delirium which were very fun and filled with lots of hot girls of all types most wanted 250-300 but as it gets later in the night they do go down in price. I would go there get a drink and get numbers from the hottest girls, later some would text me or even call me when it was closing time, by then I was already smashing. I bought drinks for a couple of girls and of course got hands with them. I had sex everyday at least once a day, the only day I didn't was one day recover from having 2 long sessions. Prices are lower right now because of Venezuelans coming in which the Colombian girls hate, they all trash talked them to me, LOL. There are lots of annoying vendors, I ignore them no matter how hard they try to talk to me. It doesn't*bother me too much. These people are just trying to feed their families, what you spend on one meal could feed their whole family for days. Everyone keeps saying how there are no gringos here, it's all Colombian tourists. Went to Playa Blanca for half a day..Great report LivingFossil. Looks like it was a good idea to visit the coast after all, and yes everything at the Clock Tower is seen by all, your every movement, every step, every chica you glance at, every chica you take back to your man cave, everything is open, the all seeing eyes, hehehehe.

I have been to Cart solo and had a blast in years past and also traveled with my Colombian buddy and that was fun as shit and also have taken a few paisas for a few days visit and that too was fun, we both know the paisa Shar* and we went in November 2020 and had a blast just hanging out and visiting some clubs, so again there is no right way or wrong way to play in Cartagena be it solo or with friends.

Did you ever make it to Bogota this visit?

The Tall Man.

[Kafka]

Been here for a couple of days. Checking everything out and chilling back. Not really looking to score every night but I'm certainly not embarrassed to walk around the clock tower I don't care watches what I do. Girls are at a little bit early or 9:00 was fine they were a hundred. Mostly pretty hardened pros. But I didn't manage to find a nice soft Vemnie, barely knew what she was doing. I orgasmed her out con lengua one of the sweetest little pussies I've seen in a long time, name Genisis. Abd then hanged her from the rear hard till we both got off a mismo. Beach is great people are having fun, but it certainly is price you the Medellin and if you're just looking for chicas that a better bet. Had a very big grilled fish on beach at Boya place near Laguito, and Polo a Carbon is gone. Otherwise everybody is here having a lot of fun in the water and enjoying themselves it's a pain in the ass getting here but it certainly won't worth while being here. I don't have to score every night but I like to pick the right ones. I mean if you're looking for the hardened hooker type or even the beautiful model hooker type Friday and Saturdays at the clock tower starting around 9:00. Don't forget everything is pushed up now now.

Oh no I've got another 6 days here which is fantastic to get away from all that bullshit in the United States.

[Elvis 2008]

Oh no I've got another 6 days here which is fantastic to get away from all that bullshit in the United States.What bullshit? Just kidding. I had been without power for 48 hours. I am glad you are having fun. I have three weeks until I get down there and am counting the days. Thanks for the good reports. I think CTG will be on my list.

[ElPapi]

Hi fellow mongers,

Been reading the recent posts. Really helpful information. Thanks all for the contributions. Heading to CTG in March with a buddy our second time). Was wondering where I can get a nice "professional" massage? (if extras offered, even better). Also, if you have a favorite chica that you would like to share info with, please DM. Thanks again.

[Kafka]

Sitting outside at coffee shop in Laguito. Beach was packed. Some American fools walking through the sand with the flat chested model from Torre Reloj, best ass in town, miserable walking behind. Assholes find each other. It's the party favors.

Other than that, a major party......tranquillo.

[Black Page]

(a word to the wise: if it is not made in Kentucky it is not Bourbon, it is just whiskey masquerading as bourbon). For me it's the bourbon masquerading as whisky. Those who did not have malt, the water and wind of Highlands, had to invent something to approach it.

I guess it's a religion war, but yes *single malt* from Scotland is holy.

Lower price is because they they have already been screwed once or twice and come back looking for sloppy seconds or thirds.


There are lots of annoying vendors, I ignore them no matter how hard they try to talk to me. It doesn't*bother me too much. These people are just trying to feed their families, what you spend on one meal could feed their whole family for days..They are trying to get your hard earned money and sell you stuff you do not want. Just tell them "no moleste" and if they persist "yo mama bitcho", a phrase I learned in the army.

[Luminous]

Either one works.


Hey guys. When they ask for the PCR test, should you have the paper or a pdf version on your phone?

[Mojo Bandit]

I guess it's a religion war, but yes *single malt* from Scotland is holy.Just for the record Kentucky was settled by Scotch and Scotch Irish, but of course they had primarily corn to work with which the old world did not use to make whiskey. When I speak of "masquerading" I am talking about the whiskey made in the USA but not in Kentucky that calls itself Bourbon. this is because bourbon has become extremely popular in the USA, but experts say that there is a unique lime content in the water where Kentucky Bourbon is made that gives it its smooth flavor. I am not trying to compare Scotch whiskey with Bourbon, they are two different animals

I'm trying to decide for a place to go this weekend between Cartagena, Medellin or San Jose Costa Rica. I have to say from reading each of the three boards, it seems like you all in Cartagena are having a better time. Do you guys agree? It also seems safer than Medellin. If I was to go there what hotel should I stay at?

Thanks in advance!

[Kafka]

The Medellin girls are the best. But Cartagena has the beach and cool vibe. The only daytime action here is play a Hollywood and it's loud and Tony is a pain in the ass. And they also have this horrible music. The noise pollution actually drove me off the beach yesterday. Only to find a nice chica from Medellin. I haven't been to San Jose but I believe it's a big city so if you have to choose between that and maybe I go for Medellin. Best women anywhere.

As far as Playa Hollywood. Done with it till Tony goes. Just the awful bands and music there is enough to keep me away for a while

You can't simply politely and sternly tell him to fuck off and do your own thing? Is he the only source for renting a lounge chair? I don't understand how one guy can frustrate someone to that extent.

I don't understand how one guy can frustrate someone to that extent.Totally useless, pain in the ass, but not my problem with him, he's rude rude to people that take care of him, I jerk him off more then he jerks me off, I used to use him before catching him totally taking advantage of a good situation more then once; the girls are not his for one thing anyone with a mouth can confront and talk to them on their own, everyone here should get his whattapp number and jerk him off all day long about coming to beach and so on, waste his time like he dose to us, oh and if he appreciated us I would not have a problem with him period, you can have him and Emily massage old hag doing same to people that""hook them up."

Never been a regular on that beach myself, I have walked the area a few times but I am not much to sit on the beach unless I am going with other people. Years ago though I hit up the board on advice about the place and I was told that Tony has all the chairs that have the umbrellas but this about 7 years ago and things may have changed.

I recently travelled to Cartagena and returned to the US. Unfortunately, the new USCDC covid testing requirements came into effect a few days before my departure. I met this requirement by visiting Clinica Medihelp in Bocagrande. I took an antigen test for 170.000 pesos. Their website suggests that the results take 3 hours; however, in my case the results were available in less than two hours.

Clinica Medihelp: https://www.clinicamedihelp.com/.Thanks K Constant. Wanted to confirm if the Antigen test is sufficient to return to USA or do we need PCR test. I am traveling to Cartagena in 2 weeks and would like to have this information accurate.

[Kafka]

Okay here is the skinny from locals. Tony doesn't have any chairs (or a few at best) at all he just acts as the middleman by hustling and intimidating. There was a set rate that they are supposed to charge for the chairs. He will spot mongers and upsell you on the drinks also don't buy him more than a beer, and then he will just keep on pestering you for money all day. Thats how he operates.

Tony flourishes because he speaks better English than most of them which isn't saying much
so stick with one of the other guys like Oscar right from the beginning. Do not let Tony get you a chair. He will claim you and ride you like a Cuban jintero. He got mucho pissed off when I dumped him yesterday

Just an update on the clock tower scene Thursdays and Fridays and curfew is 2 am Rest of the days is 12:00 pm Action starts earlier than it used to in fact at 9:00 the girl started coming around. But it's almost unbearable as far as the number of jockeys coming around to try to sell you stuff, like incoming every few seconds or minutes at least. So it takes a little energy to firmly fight them off. Can't hesitate with your no. If you look them in the eye or hesitate slightly they will latch on to you.

At times itwas almost unbearable but I had to hang in there to make my choice of chica. Last night I settled on a skinny one fton Medelin who had been eyeing before she's more of the natural type that I tend to go for and although I had to negotiate for extra BBBJ action, she like the other two ended up being quite crazy in bed and wanted to get hee rocks off. When these chicks let it go to that kind of crazy.

With all those hawkers may not be for everyone. Right now they are a little over the top. It's not at all dangerous like it El Centro in Medellin can be, but irs little on undaunting if you're not prepared or just want to relax

[Kafka]

Everyone is quoting 200. You can bargain but I don't try. You may pay 50 extra for BBBJ. Just being nice goes a long long way. if you were looking to score with multiple chicks in a day you might consider Medellin

Just yesterday I was in centro Medellin, the strip clubs, the Vera, Botero plaza, the bars, and my rule applies, after one no thank you don't fuck with this gringo.

Only at one point this week did I have to escalate. The problem right now is there are so many incoming jinteros from so many directions at the Clock Tower no matter what your approach is if you're a single gringo it's not going to be a relaxing situation.....

The problem right now is there are so many incoming jinteros from so many directions at the Clock Tower no matter what your approach is if you're a single gringo it's not going to be a relaxing situation.....I've been using "jinetera" (meaning female jockey) just to mean female prostitutes (especially flaquitas). But does "jinetero" mean any kind of male hustler in Colombia?

[RacShack]

Make sure your buddy understands there is only air conditioning in the bedroom.Was it just broke when you were their? Or not in room at all, because advertising as 2 bedrooms with ac; thanks any more information on place would be great, is location good?

I've been asking around and everyone down there says its all open and like before. I've had apartment owners tell me I can bring back visitors but on their online ads they say no visitors due to covid. I've also been told the casinos are open.

Other than a weekday midnight curfew are things back the way they were? Anyone who is there or has been recently there care to comment?

[Kafka]

1) Jintero doesn't mean anything in Colombia. They don't understand it,I picked the word up in Cuba and applies here --to the hustlers and hawkers.

2) I negotiated to deal with Tony a Playa Hollywoid 40 mil for the.

Chair which is too much but OK. Then another 40 for massage. So $25 bucks for long massage and chair. You can probably score a better deal with Oscar or whoever. Be careful where you sit because it can get really noisy and the really bad Beach accordian musicians are at this end of town. Especially when people from Bogota I want to have a drinking fiesta and try to sing before they fall down borracho.

[The Tall Man]

What if they are women, such was the case when me and my dad were at Playa Blanca? Will calling them homosexuals work?In practicality the most aggressive peddlers are by far the costenos, the guys, they make up 90% of the problem. Don't play with words, you know exactly who I am talking about.

I have found that the women vendors / peddlers are by far more mild and although they can pester you just the same it's not the same as a skinny short black costeno with black scamming staring eyes getting right into your face and invading personal space, fuck these scums.

These are the ones I go off on and if others would do the same maybe these fucks will get the word that they are nothing but little shit fucks in our eyes.

Any mongers out there want to get together a hire a really cool boat for the day in Cartagena.

Any one interested in putting together an incredible party boating day where we have 6 to 8 mongers splitting the cost, we will have music and dancing and drinks and and live like a rock star, we will hire / invite 15 chicas with clothing optional.

This would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to just go wild for a day.

To do this right we need at least 6 guys, including myself, and each chip in probably $500. To $700. USD and we would have a blast, photos and video of the event. We are talking about a yacht and not some dingy boat hehehehe.

Of course we need to set a date for the trip and each of us commit to this. I will start to research the boat costs.

Any ideas or interest out there for such an event?

BTW. I did such an event about 4 years ago on a yacht outside of Santa Monica, California. My gawd the photos that I have are worth the price in themselves.

Its too nice where I live (San Diego 25 minutes from Tijuana) to go sweat it out somewhere rainy and I'll be going to Cuba in November to see some regulars that I am missing now.

I am literally asking about the other 10% of the problem. These chicks would not take we do not want a massage and we do not have money for a massage for an answer. They insisted to massage anyway. Then guess what? After they finished they wanted money. Of course I did not give them any. But would shouting at them and calling them homosexuals as you say works with the men work the same with the ladies? Or what other methods should be undertaken?

I know them and yes they are relentless and when I tell them NO 3 times I next call them for what they are PUTAS and stop molesting me, some have stood their ground and cast their evil stares thinking that their voodoo bull shit works.

Yes I have had yelling matches with a number of them that lasted literally them barking and yelling at me for 100 meters as they retreat to the next gringo.

Have even used the si-lo-mama paisa expression for when a girl asks something of you reply with this which means "sure, just suck my dick".

Never ever allow them to touch you let alone give you a massage no matter what they say. I would not let one of these hoes touch my dog let alone my body.

These women that roam the beaches doing massage have absolutely zero respect for any tourist let alone a gringo or gringa, they will steal from you and their culture ingrains in them that this is retribution for slavery. I know my history and the culture.

Oh and I love Colombia.

Got to town yesterday, lot of hoops to get here and long wait at immigration because lots of people forgot to bring a hard copy of their check mig and pcr and couldn't pull it up on their phones as there is a internet block in the room it seems. Finally got into town, it was busy, went to Delirum, place was empty round 730, then packed in about 5 minutes. Decide to go Colombian the first night, test out the doorman as it seems they have less issues and if you need any other party supplies they deliver the best. The doorman was very cool and told me not to worry, great spot in laguito on the beach, modern, renovated, overlooking the sea, I the apartment was just renovated, its one of those buildings that has a good rep on here. Not luxury but good enough. The night was a bit of a blur, but it was the good kind of blur. What a great place this is. Town is in full party mode, at least here in Laguito, people were up all night partying the in streets on their balconies, so much for curfew. People are wearing masks, but not in restaurants and bars. I was offered 180 an hour from the Venezuelans and 300 from the Colombians, but we found a fair rate of 500 for 3 hours. I spoke to a guy I met here before who is also here now and he is at a well known hotel and had no issues having visitors. There does seem to be a lot of wealthy locals here and not many international tourists, so maybe some of the super luxury buildings are being tight with their owners staying in house. As long as they have ID and are of age its fine. I think the rules are relaxing. Just wear a mask, I heard they are handing out fines. And the locals give you looks if you don't. So best respect the locals. Tonight hitting LDV after dinner somewhere. Hopefully this time I can remember more details of the night. So far my impression for anyone that has not been here before is don't worry too much, whatever you need seems to have a way of finding you here pretty quickly. Good to back in town!

[FrenchFeel23]

I would definitely be down for that but not until next December. I'm too close to getting vaccinated at this point and I don't travel to tropical climates in the warmer months. Its too nice where I live (San Diego 25 minutes from Tijuana) to go sweat it out somewhere rainy and I'll be going to Cuba in November to see some regulars that I am missing now.This is my type of plan right here! Will be in Cartagena March 14 - 22nd. If this is a feasible timeframe for you I am all in!

[Xpartan]

I think the rules are relaxing. Just wear a mask, I heard they are handing out fines. And the locals give you looks if you don't. So best respect the locals. !So they mandate masks on the streets in heat and humidity, but not in bars and restaurants? Gee, how do you spell stupid?

Thanks for your report!

[Ktsrf]

Thanks for your report!Well, we all got to eat and drink, so it works me. Kind of like the masks, the touts can't see your expression, makes it much easier to move away.

Thanks for your report!It is the same in Rio. I had a guy there start yelling at me when I was outside without a mask. And yes he posted a great report. Kudos.

[Nyezhov]

First off you do not allow anyone to touch you, to invade your space, and this includes the massage putas that comb the beaches on the Caribbean. I know them and yes they are relentless and when I tell them NO 3 times I next call them for what they are PUTAS and stop molesting me, some have stood their ground and cast their evil stares thinking that their voodoo bull shit works.

Yes I have had yelling matches with a number of them that lasted literally them barking and yelling at me for 100 meters as they retreat to the next gringo.

The Tall Man.So what your saying is that its OK to get aggressive with the locals?

If you pull that stuff in SE Asia you will get a beating.

Happy Funday / Sunday to all!

If you pull that stuff in SE Asia you will get a beating.In Cartagena you'll likely get surrounded by locals where they become threatening if you decide to start making an issue with one of them. That's all I've seen. I don't recommend. Colombians have this thing about protecting their own.

[The Tall Man]

Colombians have this thing about protecting their own.WTF! Oh I fear getting surrounded by some small fucking Costenos, these lazy ass little tiny punks, what are you saying.

Like I said, they bother me and they are a problem and I have no issue with a bunch of them, matter-of-fact it has never happened, why? Because size matters and when you get right down to it they are timid little pussy asses and if their puny costeno amigos want I will get mid evil on their ass to.

I grew up in the eastern area of LOS Angeles and let me tell you I never ever would fuck with any Mexican or Black brother from there, why? Because they got my respect but these costenos, this puny machismo non-confrontational fucks, hell I tell the bunch of them to go back to their childhood donkeys.

The Tall Man.Some how a knife in the back or a brick to the head on my pussy hunting vacation doesn't seem like its fun.

In Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Burma I've personally seen big brash tough guys take a beating because they laid hands on a local or got aggressive.

To each his own, Ill get by with a smile and a polite refusal. I take the position that the mosquito is incapable of annoying the elephant, and in these countries, I am the elephant.

I want to think all the guys who contributed to this form. The reports and comments you've contributed have been helpful in planning my trip. This is my second trip. Though I really consider it my first. I was here in March 2020 had planned to stay for a month, however as soon as I saw that the virus had arrived in Columbia I left. I only spent two days at that time. I arrived on Friday and had the same experience going through immigration as Ktsrf. Prior to arriving I was stopped and had my documents checked three times. So under normal circumstances I would've been pissed having to wait because so many people did not have their documents available. However I was very excited to have arrived.

Because of my work and travel time I hadn't had any sleep for almost 30 hours. That's a long time for this old man. So once I got settled in the apartment I rented I plan to take a nap for a couple hours. Unfortunately couple hours lasted into all night and when I woke up it was 3 AM too late to go out.

On Saturday woman I met on SA came over. I thought we had a great time and she seemed to enjoy herself. We made plans to meet on Sunday. I only gave her Taxi money as she didn't ask for any money.

After she left at midnight I decided I would go to the clock tower which is only a two minute walk from where I'm staying. Soon as I stepped out of the building where I'm staying there was a very large group of people running and yelling coming up the street. Looks like a riot. Once they passed me I started walking, but then they suddenly turned around and ran really fast. Evidently they got into some big fight with someone who was injured seriously. They rounded the corner and stopped at delirium. Didn't think it was safe to walk past them. So I stayed a block away watching the action. It took the police about 20 minutes to show up. Then took them a little while to clear the area. So I finally made it to the clock tower. Walked around a bit saw a couple good looking ladies, however having just had my brains screwed out and thinking I was going to have a repeat session later that morning I did not partake. However for some reason she flaked on me on Sunday.

I had a good dinner at Buena Vida Marisqueria. I went there wanting to sit on the rooftop however because I didn't have a reservation I got a table on the ground floor. Wasn't very crowded and sitting near me were two very beautiful young ladies. Dressed very fashionably. The one facing me has beautiful legs I couldn't stop myself from taking long stares at her. She noticed and then crossed her legs so I could get a better view of her thighs. After a while she put her legs down and spread them what a beautiful site. I'm sure she was thinking that she was giving an old man a show and she did. She got me warmed up for what was coming later. After dinner headed to the clock tower. There were a lot more people then the night previously. Also see many police officers, it didn't look like they were doing much other than standing around. After doing a couple of a walk arounds I just stood in one spot. After about 10 minutes beautiful woman approached me. Now I don't speak any Spanish, and she didn't speak any English. Have a translating app worked great. After we chatted for a bit her friend came over and they asked me if I wanted to take them to their hotel. Ended up 300 mill each for 2 to 3 hours. Game on! Turned out they were both from Venezuela. Instead of their hotel we went to my apartment. We had a great time. After three hours curfew had passed. I asked if they would stay until later in the morning and how much it would cost. They told me 400 mill each. I negotiated down to 400 for both of them. I hardly remember everything that happened I got so wasted but I know I really enjoyed myself. The only downer was they decided to leave early. It appears that even during curfew you can call a taxi to take you to wherever you want to go. They wanted to go to a party. They kept on calling me their boyfriend and that they were my girlfriends. After they left kept on messaging me through WhatsApp to remind me how much they loved me and what a good time we had.

When I woke up this morning the apartment was a mess. This place has over a dozen towels, every single one was used. Beer and whiskey bottles, food trays all over the place. Took me an hour and a half to clean up. Now I'm going to have to find a laundry to wash everything.

Can't wait to see what adventure awaits me today.

Sorry that this report was so long, I'll have to try to shorten them in the future.

Nice report Quim. Very informative and well written. I have been to Cartagena several times but not recently. I have stayed in hotels and AIR properties so interested in how you found your apartment. It appears from your description that it was private access and you had no issues taking chicas back, obviously since you arranged an all night threesome. My last stay I had an AIR apartment on Calle Moneda only a few blocks from the plaza but other times I have stayed elsewhere. My other last visit, I also recall that I stayed in Getesemani but that was too far a distance from the main plaza action.

For my next potential trip during this upcoming June, it's possible that I may be able to stay with a friend at the Hotel Santa Clara, probably the most upscale hotel in El Centro, where he has reserved a double suite. However, as we both are fully aware, there are no visitors allowed here and they are quite strict about this rule. Several years ago, I went with chicas on more than one occasion from the plaza to a cheap short term hotel, which was of the poorest quality imaginable with barely any running water and dingy as can be. I think it was called the Tropicana. Ironic to have a very nice place to stay but have to resort to doing the deed at a dump. On another visit, I stayed at a halfway decent place only a few minutes from the plaza but can't find it on Google maps now. I believe it was at one time called either Mar why Playa or the Indio or something close to those names but they had to change the latter as the name was too close to another nicer hotel in ElCentro. It was one flight up from the street and had several interior rooms with an additional two rooms with small balcons overlooking the Calle. I know sometimes that chicas used this hotel for short term romps judging by what I used to see in the hallways of the hotel.

Is this apartment an AiR unit where you are staying? I was thinking of finding a cheap hotel for short term assignations for my friend and I, which both of us can use but unclear if these establishments still exist in El Centro?

Any suggestions from other board members gratefully acknowledged.

I know sometimes that chicas used this hotel for short term romps judging by what I used to see in the hallways of the hotel..I spent about half a day researching Airbnb. Originally wanted to stay overlooking the beach. Found this place by accident. I always checked visitor policy under rules of the house. If not mentioned, I would message the owner asking specifically if I could bring guests. And telling them that I won't have parties. Interesting enough this owner said no problem with visitors, but after booking a note was made no visitors. I made a copy and also bookmarked his msg say visitors were ok. It's been absolutely no problem. It's in a building with many other units. The guard leaves nightly at 9 pm and is off on Sundays. I have my own keys to the building. When my SA girl showed up the guard took her temp and sanitize her hands. No asking for ID. He's been very friendly. I believe that timekeeper 4444 mentioned the same building but different apartment in a previous posting.

Try to negotiate sir. You definitely overpaid. Those hunnies around the clock tower usually will settle for 200-300 k all night, heck I've had some take less, like would agree for 150 k for an HR or two and end up staying cause we're drinking and having fun. Especially if late since they know they won't get anyone else. Never pay the immediate asking price, they will try you to see if you know going rates. It's obviously not an honest business and no honor or pride in it, hence you need to do your part or they'll take advantage. Yes we're all from the states and we all have dollars, but those precaution believe it or not are for safety too, and other obvious things like messing it up for the next dude LOL. Now those two vennies will walk away when I low ball, or they'll call you first before accept mine LOL.

Instead of paying 1 Million total for both, you could've paid 500 k total for both easily. Also when you make a deal for all night, be sure to confirm what time they will leave, and if they leave early, deduct from the amt. Don't be a target for being an easy gringo.

[Sangnyc21]

Is this place like a Gustos. What can I expect to be charged for a TLN. Sorry don't have time to go back and read LOL.

[YippieKayay]

I'm sure she was thinking that she was giving an old man a show and she did. She got me warmed up for what was coming later.This reads like lines out of a Bukowski novel. Hilarious.

I don't know if the chica from SA has a different arrangement with you but she might have flaked because you didn't give her enough the first time. Word to the wise, it's not complicated. You don't need to negotiate, just make an offer 150 k-200 k is more than enough. 90% of the chicas will take it.

[Mojo Bandit]

Sorry that this report was so long, I'll have to try to shorten them in the future.Do not apologize for long reports. You might mention something that you do not realize that someone else wanted to know or needed to hear.

However for some reason she flaked on me on Sunday.Simple case of not being able to read minds. She thought that you knew you would have to give her more money than you did. Since you did not read her mind and do that, then she didn't show the next time.

[Mr Enternational]

Is this place like a Gustos. What can I expect to be charged for a TLN. Sorry don't have time to go back and read LOL.Yep. Just like it. Even though Cartagena is more expensive, the chicks in LDV won't start you off at $300 like chicks in Gusto's will.

[Nounce]

Is this place like a Gustos. What can I expect to be charged for a TLN. Sorry don't have time to go back and read LOL.It's a bar but it is not the same class as Gusto. It's small, can get very packed. I don't know how people can stay in the bar when it is packed.

[GeneHickman]

Simple case of not being able to read minds. She thought that you knew you would have to give her more money than you did. Since you did not read her mind and do that, then she didn't show the next time.So true that, and a perfect example of how well these chicas can put on the act. She figured you will know to pay her, and when you didn't it was a waste of time the next day. Some are up front and others even don't like to talk about it but expect. I personally prefer to have the dialogue ahead of time.

[PerkinWarbeck]

Hey buds.

Was in CTG last week for 9 days. Everything is pretty normal in Centro. Lots of chicas by the Clock Tower, but I was wifed up with a caleña and didn't partake. Getting the negative COVID test to return back to the US was a breeze. Huge thanks to the gents who posted testing sites here.

I really suggest more guys use the AirBnBs in Manga. Most of them don't have doormen and it is still so close to Centro (8 mil pesos). I did it for a few months last year and I had chicas running in and out with zero hassle. Will definitely return in May.

Just a lockbox and I'm in, no BS rules about no parties or mult girls at a time. It's not for everyone, you must a vet and not someone who use drugs or get too drunk otherwise bringing 2-4 chicas at a time can be a nightmare, and no doorman / security guard to help.

I'm looking at June / July for Cartagena right now.

[Tomasb]

Yesterday, I checked the AIR BNB site and noticed several reasonably priced and attractive units in the Manga area. I also noticed that under ‘House Rules’, several of them did not ban guests/visitors — Make sure anyone contemplating an Air BNB rental to review this section. That being said, I was not familiar with this barrio and noticed it's a bit further out from Getsemani so I guess a taxi is the best way to get back from the plaza later in the evening.

It does seem too far to walk with a P4P in tow. What is this barrio like overall? Does it have the appearance and vibe of El Centro and do a lot of local people still live here? Are there any decent restaurants or bars there?

I'm looking at June / July for Cartagena right now.I never drink around chicas, and I've been living off / on in Cartagena for almost 3 years. Most of these girls are migrants and don't even have the connections to get you set up here, so Cartagena is basically a sandbox for mongering. Just ridiculously safe.

Are there any decent restaurants or bars there?I actually made the walk from Bocagrande to Manga last year when I forgot my wallet while visiting a chica in Laguito in the middle of the night. That is a long effing walk. But by taxi, it's 5 minutes to the clock tower (ignoring the early morning traffic). The neighborhood itself is really quiet. I didn't see a bar there, but some decent restaurants. There is a Chinese restaurant, Emperador King, run by some Chinese folks that has some great fried chicken. A grocery store is nearby. All in all, very walkable there and completely safe and absolutely no touts. Loved staying there. It is a locals neighborhood. Most of them are middle class Colombians who go to work in the morning. I had never seen this, but outside the tourist spots, the Taxis operate almost as a carpool in the mornings with folks sharing rides to go to work. Met some great people doing this.

Are there any decent restaurants or bars there?As far as the neighborhood in general Manga is pretty nice overall. It is less touristy than the neighborhoods in the Old City (San Diego and Centro are behind the wall while La Matuna and Getsemani are just outside the walls to the east of them). It is also less touristy than the beach neighborhoods of Bocagrande and Laguito. Cartagena is a port city and Manga is home to the decent size cargo port where there is also a cruise ship dock. Manga is also home to a marina with some nice looking average size yachts. When I first started visiting Cartagena Manga was just residential but then over the years it seems like there have been more apartments for rent and hotels opening there.

Seeing how it is a lot of residential people I would strongly suggest going beyond just checking the rules on the Air Bnb web site and suggest messaging the owner to as about having visitors in your place.

From the center of Manga to say LDV is a 30 - 45 minute walk. Definitely further than any chica wants to walk, and also have to consider the heat and overwhelming humidity.

[Tomasb]

So I am looking for some inside info. This is why I am on the forum. Google can give you general information about a place or neighborhood but in this instance, there is very little information about this area. With Covid, things have changed worldwide. The restaurant or bar you see on a map may no longer be in business. There may a new place that opened, whether it's a coffee shop or a bar that is not listed in the map yet. Someone else sent me a helpful response that it is a five minute drive to the plaza from Manga. Someone else said it's a 45 minutes walk to LDV? All that is good to know so then I know the approximate cost of the taxi too and not to walk (in general). Thanks to those guys.

As for you. My 'title' says it all.


Have you ever heard of Google earth before? Some of you guys have to think for yourselves sometimes. A lot of questions in this forum are not necessary. A little research goes a long way!

A little research goes a long way!In general, I make such RTFF comments often, but Tomasb has longer history of posting in this thread than many other frequent posters (not more than me, but more than you probably :-) ). If he asks, it means there must be a reason to ask besides looking on Google Maps.


From the center of Manga to say LDV is a 30 - 45 minute walk. Definitely further than any chica wants to walk, and also have to consider the heat and overwhelming humidity.Definitely, it's no more than 45 minutes, but people should be warned to not do it at night, unless very familiar with the place. Things change, and COVID may have changed Cartagena after my last visit (Feb 2020), but to put things in the right perspective 15 years ago an Italian living in Cartagena was killed just because walking out of the walls at daytime (Parque Olimpia), while in recent years it was totally safe to walk for hours at daytime along the P. De Heredia for kilometers. I would not do that at night, though.

By the way, is there anyone on the board who knows the casa managed by senora Carmen behind the Institucion Educativa Pedro de Heredia at Alcibia? I was used to go visiting her for many years, walking back to Centro (1+ hour) after the visit. Some 3 years ago, her phone number stopped to work. I did not go to check, if she's still living there or what.

[Mojo Bandit]

Can you all give me an idea of the range of prices for different types of girls including day time beach girls, nighttime nightclub girls and any other type of girls like from a dating website or other categories?

I am in Cartagena right now. I'd be happy to get together with anyone who's here as well. Thank you to mojo bandit for all of his invaluable suggestions. I'm working off of a phone so forgive me if there's some mistakes here. I went to see Tony on the beach. He wants 200,000 plus 30,000 tip. There are lots of nice girls on his Beach. You could go over to them yourself and just say Hello,. They probably have to give tony a commission anyway. Most of the ones I spoke to were from Bogota. They're all very angry at the government. I know there is an interesting scene at the clock tower late at night but by then I'm fast asleep. I'll have to go at least once but not right now. I ate dinner tonight at ricquisimo's. I had baby beef which I thought was awful. They're supposed to be a lot of Venezuelan women around but I haven't seen any or at least none that I identified as such. Another issue that you probably should know about is that the exchange rate on the Internet is 3600 Colombian pesos for each dollar but the exchange places only give $3,200. When I use my credit card amazingly I get almost 3,700 so that's a really good rate but you can't use credit cards for everything. My friend has a female friend in New York who is from Cartagena Colombia and she said the way that she does it when she visits is she wires herself money and then she can pick up at the bank at the high rate exchange with no fees. I'm skeptical because Banks live to charge fees but she swears up and down that there's no fees. There doesn't seem to be very many tourists here but it doesn't feel empty either. It's a relaxing place to rest and there's plenty of women of all types. I also sent about 60 messages to women on the internet but I haven't had time to follow that up. I would meet some of them for lunch at crepes and waffles and get an idea who they are. There are a lot of opportunities to meet women of all types. Spanish is an absolute necessity.

Cartagena Colombia is much more expensive. Many of the women in Cuba will spend all day with you or basically moving if you want because you are living in such luxury and you can take care of her nicely. In Cartagena Colombia they generally leave pretty quickly. The women who seem to come from Bogota pretty much exclusively clearly more sophisticated intellectually than those from Cuba. The Colombian women seem extremely straightforward and honest. Cubans of all types are deceptive although they won't steal off of your table. But everything they say and do has to be looked at with complete and total skepticism. It's much more relaxed and relaxing in Cartagena Colombia. In Cuba you're in a military dictatorship. To be near the women in Cuba you're living in areas with many low-income people who are pretty close to desperate. Even high income areas in Cuba are filled with people who have virtually no money even if they have very valuable houses. The whole atmosphere there is a bit surreal which is certainly an adventure if you're up for it. But cah Cartagena is much less politically charged and much more stable and that makes things much simpler and happier.

Spanish is an absolute necessity.Most everything you say is true, but the Spanish being a absolute necessity just not true, just don't want to scare newbies away I've been all through Colombia for the last 20 years or so (even before many people spoke any English at all) at some times a bit frustrating, but by no means it should stop anyone from going especially this day and age, I still get buy with the very little I know, but yes stay away from tony he is pointless, if you see a girl talk to her and get number simple, he's a douchbag, ricquisimo's baby beef used to be awesome now here more bad then good about the place not sure what happened their, Clock tower is where most vennys hang out! Stay safe have fun buddy!

Spanish is an absolute necessity.Money exchange always ATM and withdraw pesos and decline back offered rate, defaults to the daily mastercard / visa rate which will be very close to the rate quoted on the internet. No other mode of conversion comes even close. Some banks charge a fee, others do not, there is an app called hero ATM, which will give you that info. I would avoid using credit cards there, you are more exposed to CC fraud. Cash is king. Good luck.
