Got it, thanks. Do you know if the alchohol ban means no alcohol sales at all anytime? If so, we may be postponing our trip. Darn. I wonder if the girls will start working earlier ?? My understanding the action barely got going at 9 pm or so in the city.I think it is just he public consumption that is prohibited, in Colombia often times people sit around outside the liquor / package stores drinking and congregating so I think that is what they do not want, I am sure that if nothing else you can still go into an Exito / Olimpica / Carulla and possibly liquor stores before curfew and take it to your apartment and drink, I think it mentions liquor stores is that in Colombia people tend to gather around liquor stores and drink outside and congregate.

Also it may be the case that the street walkers start spreading out to different places other than the plaza by the clock tower so that the information on their location would be of good use to know if anyone on the ground can ask around as to where they may go - there was a time they used to walk around the park across the street from the clock tower on the way to Getsemani
- Parque Del Centenario

Thanks Mojo. That wouldn't affect any of us really. So long as the bars keep serving it is good. But the 10 pm curfew is for sure a big damper.

Coming on the Apr. 13-20, but should I postpone till after the 21st? Are the beaches really open and the statement is just smoke and minor as someone suggested? Are the bars closed or just not serving alcohol? Can you still buy alcohol from liquor stores and drink it in your room? Can you drink on the beach if it's concealed and you're following the CDC guideline on preventive measures? Or is that prohibited? Our beach activities still running such as jetski, paddle boarding, and such? Are you still able to mong with these restrictions? Going with a group and so hoping to get the facts straight from someone on the ground right now.

Just to follow up on Kafka's earlier post and show a reference for people who want to see further validation.
Lemons. Lemonade. I can deal with missing the nightlife. I'll just entertain in my apartment. I just finished the booking for my 5 day and I have a cancellation in place if there's a need, but I'm going to deal with the restrictions. Should be less touts on the beach and in the streets?

I assume the chicas be willing to call it a night early on the weekdays and even the weekend. I enjoy hanging out in my apartment. I can pick them up for a ST and if it goes well, just let them hang around without me agreeing on anything extra. Plus, if I find a really nice one, I will repeat. I hope I can find 2 that I would want to repeat with.

Sooooo agree with this. Nightlife not needed. Bring that pussy to my Airbnb!

I message on SA, and they are at my place in no time.

Arrived in Cartagena two hours ago. Easy trip here and through immigration fast. Made it to super girl friendly Airbnb that I stayed at in February, same doorman, same tip up front. Just downstairs is Exito convenience store and packed plenty of Club Colombia's and a bottle of vodka for tonight's shenanigans in my basket, alcohol IS still for sale. Hottie coming over in two hours and another one set up three hours after that and then I'll check out Delirium Club later tonight, around 8-9 pm. My understanding is that they won't be selling alcohol at the club but the ladies will still be there sipping on whatever doesn't have alcohol, no worries because as soon as I take my pick we have a 3 minute walk back to my Airbnb with plenty to drink for the Friday night! Attached is a picture of my refrigerator with some refreshments and a pic of the girl flying in on Tuesday whom I'll spend two nights with on Isla de Tierra Bomba which is just off the coast of Cartagena. We have a bungalow reserved for two nights sitting right on the beach. So far so good! Agree with last post: Lemons to Lemonade!

Gal 1 showed up right on time. Poor thing didn't know what hit her. I had been eager for this trip for the last couple months and I took out every curfew law on her to get it out of my system! Kidding. But kind of not LOL. We had a great 2 hours, back to back sessions. What a cutie. Requested her to wear a cute skirt for me, and cute it was. Photos attached, doorman verified age and identification.

Here's the most updated curfew rules which my driver from the airport today sent me:

According to the Mayor's Office, the established norms, which will govern from April 9 to April 22, were taken according to the epidemiological behavior of the virus in the city, the occupation of the Intensive Care Units (ICU) and following the recommendations of the National Government.

Measures.

- Curfew.

Although there is currently a curfew in force in the city, with this new decree the measure will begin two hours earlier.

From Sunday to Thursday the measure will be in force from 10:00 pm To 5:00 am Each day, while from Friday to Saturday it will be from midnight (12 am) to 5:00 am Of everyday.

- Use of beaches.

In Decree 0406 the use of the beaches was limited to a single day, which will be from 8 am Until 2 pm Previously, the spas were open from 8 am At 12 pm And 2 pm At 6 pm.

Other measures.

- Prohibit the consumption of alcoholic or intoxicating beverages inside stores, refreshments, terraces, billiards, galleras, clubs and social corporations, tobacconists and / or liquor stores. The sale, distribution or sale of alcoholic beverages is not prohibited.

- Prohibit throughout Cartagena, especially in the North Zone and the Insular Zone, the realization of any type of public show and / or electronic party events and of any other type, on beaches and public spaces; Likewise, the use of Pick-up, or any other kind of sound amplification device that generates alterations to the tranquility and citizen coexistence is prohibited.

Controls.

The security agencies, District Government authorities and the National Police must carry out control operations to verify compliance with the measures. They will proceed to apply the corrective measures within their competence.

The Dau administration reminded locals and visitors not to lower their guard and maintain biosecurity measures, especially the use of a mask, avoid crowds and constant hand washing.

Attached is a picture of my refrigerator with some refreshments and a pic of the girl flying in on Tuesday : Lemons to Lemonade!Nice bro, I am beyond green with envy, more power to you! You truly are making the most out of a bad situation, although I would have a little food in that refrigerator also LOL. If you can supply information about the situation on the ground during this curfew it would be most appreciated, there are guys with reservations and guys who are ready to pull the trigger but can't decide yet, so it would be helpful to them.

Some things to know would be: like you said.

A: Are the clubs open even thought they cannot serve alcohol?

Be: Are chicas still going to be able to gather at the clock tower at least until curfew time? (there is no specific guidance in the rules given out except it does say "the realization of any type of public spectacle. And public spaces" which the cops may use to break up any crowded place).

See: Is Rappi (or other deliveries of food and such) able to deliver after curfew hours?

The: Beaches? Seems to me that as of right now one needs to get on that app / website https://reservadeplayas.cartagena.gov.co/ and reserve a place on the beach and then will have to leave by 2 pm? If you can find this out it would be helpful. I noticed the article mentioned.

"It is noteworthy that the enabled biosecure beaches are located in the tourist sector of Bocagrande, which has 5 sections. In the sector of El Laguito, Castillogrande, and El Cabrero, each one has a section, and in Marbella there are 4 enabled sections. '.

I am wondering it the section they are calling "sector of El Laguito" is Playa Hollywood or if it is the section that faces or toward Tierra Bomba, and if they count Playa Hollywood in one of the sections of Bocagrande?

Anyway A, be, and see are probably most important I know you are having fun but any info would be appreciated by the guys who have plans.

My friends and I were scheduled to go at the end of this month and we are now looking at going around mid May.

Clubs wide open and packed with girls.

Clocktower wide open and packed with girls, more than I've seen before on two previous trips.

The ONLY place they aren't serving alcohol is at the clubs. Every other establishment is all you can drink. Sat at a table at the Clocktower Pub overlooking the square drinking cervesas for at least an hour. What a great place to pick out your favorites down on the square. Made my way down and got a few WhatsApp #'s and was struck by a delightful young lady who had curves in all the right places. Back to mi casa where many beers and other things were consumed. Danced, laughed, and played music into the night as we had our fun and I taught her how to play Uno. Ironic she didn't know LOL.

Sorry I can't report on the beaches, it's just my first day and I can only cover so much ground.

I've been to Cartagena twice before and it's as good as ever. Couldn't have asked for more fun on my first day.

Don't cancel your plans, SO glad I didn't. This isn't Medellin right now.

I went out beaches after 3 PM last night, Laguito beaches were closed, EL Muelle the two story bar facing Tierra Bomba was open, rounded the corner to playa Hollywood beach closed tarpas closed. Kiosko 3 had 6 or 8 decent looking working girls. People were sitting behind Kiosko 3 in chairs drinking on and there were about a dozen gringos or more in the Palms in front of Hotel Dann between Kiosko 3 and 4. I stopped and had 3 beers at Kiosko 4 as the other gringos must have already been run off by police. Talked to beach touts the say today Saturday beach open until 3 PM and Sunday all day, there is a power outage all day Sunday. Tierra bomba the beaches supposed to be open till 4 each day and Playa Blanca no time limit, had 6 different answers from 6 different people I asked so information is sketchy, I have newspaper information also but that isn't correct either. Caribe resteraunt (Paellas) across Caribe Hotel on beach was open even after police ran me off at 5 PM, Bonys closed, the licre store new one across Bonys closed at 2 PM also. Police ran gringos hiding in Palms off about 430 PM. Beach vendors are protesting 9 AM Monday and going to block traffic all way to Centro.

People trying to figure out maybe five different countries and two thirds of posts are not much info at all. Sometimes I go back there or four pages and there's nothing on price. People discuss motels or Airbnb but it's hard to understand the context of you don't know the context. I'm thinking of going to either Brazil or Colombia a nice couple of paragraphs on being a new guy to those countries would be really helpful to start. Of course no one's obligated. I try to help if I see that in thailand threads. I remember when I first went to Thailand and I found lots of help on a good hotel and reassurance that once I was in Pattaya things were easy to figure out. That makes a trip so much easier for me and probably many others.

There's so much chatter here, what does it hurt to ask for help? I do understand the frustration if it comes across as someone who is not really serious about a trip. And to be fair I have said rtff a time or two.

Here is a post.


My buddy just booked this Airbnb in Centro Historico. 5 star, "guest friendly". Guys name is Juan, he said no problem bringing guest to apartment, but NO Parties!

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/46798941?source_impression_id=p3_1613745736_TVsJOIkjovQSN3yI&guests=1&adults=1

Thailand is easy because almost all hotels are girl friendly but not so in Colombia. Someone has said before, if the information is posted publicly, that place likely would be ruined and may not be girl friendly anymore.

There is another thread about apartment and hotel so try that.

I've decided it would be financially best to travel here on my first trip. It seems safe and a fair amount of Americans will be there. Does anyone have AirBnB suggestions that allow women in? Also is vitamin v available there?My best advice is to do what I did and go on Airbnb and narrow do a search by price, number of guests, and number of bedrooms? Once you find something in the right location you want to be in, then message the host and ask them if they are guest friendly and allow female visitors (1 at a time) ? This is what I did.

You are asking a very broad question with no specifics (location, price, number of rooms, etc.).

Thanks.I would do a 2 night reservation at the Hampton Hotel by Hilton. They offer a last minute cancellation policy if you book on Hotels.com or Agoda (or other sites). It is guest friendly. From there, you can either extend your reservation or find an Airbnb if you want to take a shot at getting a condo, apt. Or house.

Ms restricciones a partir del lunes para ingresar a cualquier establecimiento comercial, deber mostrar alguna identificaciand en ciertos andmeros e incluso se aceptarand todosThank you Kafka, I found this article and I am still a little confused,

I do not think it is a full on Pico De Cedula like the lockdown way, it seem sot only affect getting into places that hold a whole lot of people, this article just mentions shopping centers, financial institutions, Bazurto Market, department stores and supermarkets.
My question is will this be the only restrictions? Are the bars and restaurants expempt?

Is it not as harsh as before when saying that one could not even be out of their home unless they had right number on Cedula?

Do these number system apply to foreigners passports the way it does a local's cedula?

"Access and movement of people in shopping centers, financial institutions, Bazurto Market, department stores and supermarkets in general will be restricted, therefore, access and circulation is exclusively authorized, according to the last digit of the respective document.

Specifically mentioning the Bazurto Market was a tell for me. Guessing people are not wearing masks. Maybe Hillbilly has something.

360 ICU. beds in the city.....100 are available.
This includes people transferred from Santa Marta and Barranquilla..

Arrived in Cartagena two hours ago. Easy trip here and through immigration fast. Made it to super girl friendly Airbnb that I stayed at in February, same doorman, same tip up front. Just downstairs is Exito convenience store and packed plenty of Club Colombia's and a bottle of vodka for tonight's shenanigans in my basket, alcohol IS still for sale. Hottie coming over in two hours and another one set up three hours after that and then I'll check out Delirium Club later tonight, around 8-9 pm. My understanding is that they won't be selling alcohol at the club but the ladies will still be there sipping on whatever doesn't have alcohol, no worries because as soon as I take my pick we have a 3 minute walk back to my Airbnb with plenty to drink for the Friday night! Attached is a picture of my refrigerator with some refreshments and a pic of the girl flying in on Tuesday whom I'll spend two nights with on Isla de Tierra Bomba which is just off the coast of Cartagena. We have a bungalow reserved for two nights sitting right on the beach. So far so good! Agree with last post: Lemons to Lemonade!Looks good.

Wich Airbnb is it please?

Bottom line is there are today 75 less ICU beds available than they were in late February. And for that the closing down the beaches at 2 pm.

I'm here. I came regardless and I plan on making the most of it.

ATM fees at the airport were 20 k and 16 k. No more freebies.

Sitting in Riquisimo Bbq. Just finished up a grilled chicken meal. It tastes good enough and served its purpose. Bought some liquor at the CTG duty free. Prices were whatever. Crazy expensive in FLL. What happened to duty free?

Seeing some decent street options. There was a really nice one giving me the eye as I checked in, but too tired and wired for that. Going to stroll to the supermarket and get even more settled. Probably just order a chica online before / if I go out tonight. Sorry for the bland report. I'll have something worth reading eventually. I hope! LOL.

There was a member on here who swears up and down that Scotiabank / Colpatria has no ATM fees. It has to have both these names on it, not one or the other but both because different international entities own different pieces if these banks. I have found two locations in Bocagrande if you happen to be near one than you can find out for yourself.

One is just down from Carulla Fresh Market. It is on the Northeast corner of Carrera 4 and Calle 6 a, in the photos it is the little red and white building that has the little palm tree blocking the signage.

The other one is a little harder to find, it is on the main drag but it is tucked away in a complex "Centro Comercial Bocagrande" on Carrera 2 on the southeast side of the street in the middle of the block between Calle 8 and Calle 9 so any photos that are not a map and not the building I described above are of that location.

This is good intel. Do you know if there is a Scotiabank / Colpatria ATM in the Old City?There used to be a branch office with ATM just outside the wall north east of the clock tower opposite side of the street on the main road called Avenida Venezuela that runs in front of the clock tower, but according to Google Maps it is permanently closed. It is still listed as a bank site on their website though maybe that the office is closed but they still have an ATM there. One photo shows what the building looks like if you are approaching it walking from the Clock Tower, another shows what it looks like once you are in front of it

For anyone curious about why Colpatria and Scotiabank / Colpatria are different you can read this, is does not explain exactly what went down in some acquisitions related to citibank.

I was on Carrera 2 and Calle 6. I couldn't connect to the internet, so I went Juan Valdez and bought some coffee to get the password only to be blocked from accessing ISG.

I went to BBVA on the corner of Carrera3 and Calle 8. 300 k withdrawal limit. No ATM fee, but the rate was 3,653 vs 3,666 at the airport. That amounts to about .35 cent paid for roughly $82 worth of pesos. The true airport rate is actually 3,571 when I included the transaction fee. I was in a rush for pesos before going to the Old City so only made one transaction. I'll load up today since I seem to be burning cash faster than I thought, but I'm enjoying myself which is all that matters.

So as I suspected the the crackdown is happening at the Bazurto Market where all entrances were policed, IDs checked and masks mandated. In other news only a small percentage of the ICU beds are taking up by Covid Cases, less than 25 %. And a smaller percentage than at other times during the pandemic. There are some indications that demand is decreasing.

I am having a freakin' ball! So much so, that I can't get around to write a trip report. Very glad that I decided to come anyway. For anyone that wants to know. There is more pussy here than any man can want. I've picked up from the club, the clocktower, ordered great takeout, and picked up a super nice youngin' from the beach. I didn't even go out Wednesday because I was worn out from my daytime activity and the previous two days finally caught up to me.

BTW, the place I'm at now is amazing. I paid a little more, but I have hot water, literally ocean front balcony / views, pools, gym, and I can have visitors. No problem with my daytime activity, but for an instance it seemed like there was going to be an issue last night. For some strange reason, I thought the curfew was midnight on Thursday. I took my time to go out. I got to Centro around 9:30 pm. I had planned on going to a ST hotel with a chica, but everything was beginning to get locked down. The clubs were being emptied. I did get a number from a fine chica, but didn't figure I'd get here in my building. I wound up running into my day 1 chica that I picked up from Delirium. She looked smoking hot and is just so damn sexy. I told her the issue with my new apartment, but she wanted to go anyway. We got to my building and sure enough if was a no go. I played the stupid gringo and let her talk it out with the female security guard. I don't know what she said, but after about five minutes she was allowed up. The first night she wanted TLN and I wasn't going for it. I pulled the plug last night and it was worth it. Great times last night on the balcony and great morning sex with the waves crashing in the background.

The time has flown by. Only 3 more days. I will be back for sure. I don't understand why some people drag this place so much. I'm paying $55 to bang mostly 22 year olds and have incredibly hot sex. It is some gorgeous women here. I know I'll be back and will visit the other cities. This is my new playground for the near future. And Brazil when it opens up. Now it is time to really refresh my spanish. I get to a certain point and then damn near forget everything. I just need to live here for about 6 months and then I'll be good with the language. A man can dream, right? LOL.

They are averaging 300 or more new cases a day in Cartegena, those numbers don't come down they're going to lock it up.

As far as the 21-year-olds yeah I know I had to actually take out my cell phone to show one of them how to give head while she was doing it cuz she really hadn't got a clue...lol

I'm booked for 10 days at the end of next month just hoping that things don't get shut down for too long

"Mugger Unknowingly Uses Rare Nazi Handgun Worth $28,000 to Rob Victims, Gets Arrested" To put that in perspective,
28,000 USD = 100 Million COP - twice the median annual salary in Colombia.

https://www.newsweek.com/mugger-nazi-handgun-luger-pistol-colombia-1584239

"Police in Colombia have seized a handgun believed to date back to World War II from a suspected thief.

The man was carrying a Luger P08 Parabellum pistola weapon favored by Nazi officers when he was detained by officers in the coastal city of Cartagena.

Alex Yesid lvarez Prez, 21, is accused of using the weapon, valued at around $28,000, during the attempted robbery of a woman's cellphone. ".

That's quite a story. I wonder what the backstory is on where he got it and also if he was legally licensed to carry that weapon. Somehow, I doubt the latter. So in that event, who is the legal owner of the gun based on Colombia law, unless, of course, the police can determine its original provenance? Just as a matter of law, I am curious if someone robs a victim using a gun that he can prove belongs to him, if he gets to retain the weapon once charges are resolved. I also wonder if the gun was loaded or if it requires a hard to find calibre of bullets?

I don't see any new curfew hours in the paper at all the only thing that happened was they'll let everybody into the storee on Mondays regardless of your number. The rest is the same as before an expires on the 22nd. So you could say they actually loosen the restrictions.


"Despite the fact that in recent days the infections of covid-19 in Cartagena have been increasing, reaching almost 400 cases a day, this Monday, April 19, Cartagena woke up without a peak and ID.

The measure had been established in Decree 0418 of April 11 and was in force from 00:00 hours on Monday, April 12 until 00:00 hours today.

That is, during the day, citizens can access and circulate in shopping centers, financial institutions, Bazurto Market, department stores and supermarkets in general, without taking into account the last digit of their identity card and if today is the day even and odd.


This was established in the decree


Curfew if it is in force

It should be noted that Decree 0406 in which other restrictions were established in order to contain the increase in COVID-19 cases is valid until April 22.

In this, the curfew was established from Sunday to Thursday between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., and Friday and Saturday from midnight to 5 a.m. Which means that today after 10 o'clock at night people should not be on the streets.

It also maintains the prohibition for the consumption of alcohol in stores, refreshments, terraces, billiards, galleries, clubs and social corporations, tobacconists and / or liquor stores, and the use of beaches in a single day, from 8 in the morning to 2 pm.


Transcaribe is once again without collection


On April 15, the mayor of Cartagena, William Dau Chamatt, announced that more restrictive measures will be adopted in the city to mitigate infections and hospital occupancy.

The measures, which were agreed together with the team of experts from the District Administrative Department of Health (DADIS), would be announced through a decree that will be issued once the National Government gives its approval.

We have to wait, because the current decree expires on April 19, before that we cannot say anything; however, we are ready to take the measures, as soon as the National government authorizes us, "he said.

It is expected that in the course of the day the Dau administration will pronounce or issue the decree explaining whether the peak and the cedula will continue and publicizing the new control measures."

I should have waited until I saw an official announcement. Won't happen again.

Starting tomorrow, Monday curfew will be at 7 pm.

No other new restrictions have been announced. Expect more enforcement of current restrictions.Just got word from Multiple Sources that the new curfew in Cartagena is going to be 10 PM daily. I am flying out there on Friday and have been hesitant due to uncertainty on what was going to happen. Me and my group of friends decided we will still go out there and make the best of it and bring the party back to the house. It's going to suck not doing the late night mongering but we will still have a good time. Also I talked to a couple girls out there that I know and they said it's no issue for them to come to your house during curfew hours. They can also leave whenever they want as well. So the key is to get a bunch of numbers before 10 PM and party in the casa.

The only thing you got to watch out for is some transgender people women at the clock tower and everyone trying to sell you something or beg. The women at the clock tower are hot and a few girls work out of bars.

My chica rode with me in the cab because we both needed to leave Centro and go to Laquito. We were stopped by two different checkpoints. They tried to levy a fine of 200 k pesos, but I honestly did not have any on other than cab fare. The first set was cool after the mini shakedown, but the second set had one who was being a complete dick. I don't speak Spanish all that well, so the chica was doing all the talking. The cool police officer told me that the chica was actually fucking things up talking too much shit. I told him that we passed the first checkpoint with no problem and I explained the situation and that I didn't know travel wasn't permitted.

Not ONE was willing to just hang for the night because of the curfew, but they all tried to get all nighters from the very beginning. At most, some stayed for a couple hours and initially tried to throw out ridiculous prices. Two different chicas said they asked that just to see. One grilled me on how I knew how much to pay. It seems some people are paying upward of 500 k for an hour or two. I don't haggle to hard over 50 k pesos, but paying triple the going rate is insane.

Yes, we should NEVER let any girl to speak for us, but whenever I have been stopped by cops I have exhibited all my familiarity with the place and the language. The more familiarity and "peace of mind" I demonstrate, the less they can think they can take advantage or intimidate me. As a matter of fact, almost all times the police check turned in big smiles and "bienvenido a Colombia! After the tough approach. I have almost always met very professional policemen in Colombia.

The more familiarity and "peace of mind" I demonstrate, the less they can think they can take advantage or intimidate me.Most of my experience with the cops come from Dominican Republic where 99 times out of 100 they are pulling you over or have a road block so they can extort money from you. If you can speak the language you know what they are asking for. If you can't speak the language you do not understand they are hinting for you to give them money; they get frustrated with the language barrier, and then let you go on your way.

I look at it the same as when I ask a woman how are you doing and she says not good. Curiosity killed the cat, so I know asking what is wrong is only going to lead to how she needs money from me, so I stick with saying, "I understand that". This cuts off her segue to explaining how whatever happened and if I could give her money.

In Colombia whenever the police have been involved in a vehicle, I have always been in a taxi and never have been the driver myself, so there has been no reason for me to say anything. The driver always does the talking. When I am walking in Santa Fe or around Parque Botero I have no problem speaking with the police in Spanish because I know they are not trying to shake me down. It is all in your Situational Awareness as to when to use which method I would say.

I have been chatting with a new possibility off of a social site and over the course of about 3 days she used the "oh I am sad" twice and the second time immediately blocked her.

A) Do the girls at the clubs and Clock Tower start earlier and if so what time?

B) Is the curfew 10 pm daily as others have posted here?

C) Is the sale of alcohol in the clubs being prohibited still.

I agree that there are plenty of chicas under 300 k. Offers and counter offers is the cornerstone of negotiating. 100 k-150 k at the clock tower is possible. If you play into their hand they will have you at the price they want. Be firm.

And confident. Make eye contact and don't look away or act uncertain and not self confident. 300 k TLN sounds more like it.

I have been coming here for 10 years. I love this place. But I definitely recommend coming after all this curfew BS is over with. 10 PM curfew was manageable but now it is definitely not worth it. Save the trip come another time.

FYI Pleyclub was open after curfew and same with El paraiso del Marino.

Me and my friend got pulled over with 2 girls by the cops around 1 AM leaving Pleyclub. We paid them 200 k to let us go. Not ideal but definitely an option if you do not like anything down by curfew time.

The hookers range mostly from 5's to 9's in Cart and you are definitely going to pay more for the 9 than the 5. When I was there 15 months ago I only did 8's and 9's and paid between 200 k and 300 k with some light negotiating to get them down a bit from the asking price. Everybody was happy and I considered it a bargain.

Colombian pesos and others to 100 the sweet spot seems to be 150 most of them. Supply and demand I see some standing on the corner for hours some money is better than nothing. But if you think about it 50 mil is like 13.75 usd it's not a be difference but you got to be careful with the taxis some will take you to the checkpoints on purpose they got something going on.

Putting in my vacation request at work. What are the chances Cartagena will be back to normal by 2nd week of July.

For some reason, flight tickers are still showing like 1 K for a flight from Detroit, but I think that will go down in June.

J.None of us here are epidemiologists so anyone would just be guessing trying to tell you it will be open like normal. One fact which happened in our country as that the major outbreaks seem to be attributed to holidays or other events that trigger large groups to congregate. My friends and I had to cancel our trip here last week and diverted to Costa Rica last week only to see that also implement curfew restrictions from 11 pm to 9 pm due to Easter outbreaks (which was 3 weeks ago). We cancelled our trip to Cartagena as restrictions went from 11 pm to 9 pm then down to 8 pm. The government officials pinned the outbreaks due to the Easter Week as well known as Semana Santa wherein many families congregated. As you can see, there is a about a 2 to 3 week lapse to place a strain on ICU beds and cases from the actual holiday. Another problem is that if you look at the calendar, Colombians have an extraordinary amount of holidays. In June and July, there are 2 holidays and many of these prompt family gatherings which create a surge.

I would try to time a trip between a lapse in National holidays or just before a holiday. So mid July is actually a good time to go but be prepared to change as there are 4 holidays between June and July that may have cases high and contribute to restrictions. Based on the calendary, September seems a good time to go as there are no major holidays prior to that. If you do not mind curfews, then the time to go does not really matter. Hope this helps.

For some reason, flight tickers are still showing like 1 K for a flight from Detroit, but I think that will go down in June.July is the 2nd most expensive month to fly after December. People in the northern hemisphere are on vacation and kids are out of school so flights are full. Not sure of your reasoning for the price to go down in June.

And Stud mentioned there are 2 holidays in Colombia in July. I do not know if it will affect the price going to Colombia, but it definitely affects the price going around Colombia. Sux because when you are with regular chicks the only time they get off to be able to travel is weekends and holidays. But I am not about to pay 4 times the price to go somewhere with them because they could not leave on Thursday or had to come back Sunday.

I'm going to be going down an early June so I've got my fingers crossed I can certainly live with a 10:00 pm Curfew and I'll probably make do with whatever happens like you say nobody knows.


None of us here are epidemiologists so anyone would just be guessing trying to tell you it will be open like normal. One fact which happened in our country as that the major outbreaks seem to be attributed to holidays or other events that trigger large groups to congregate. My friends and I had to cancel our trip here last week and diverted to Costa Rica last week only to see that also implement curfew restrictions from 11 pm to 9 pm due to Easter outbreaks (which was 3 weeks ago). We cancelled our trip to Cartagena as restrictions went from 11 pm to 9 pm then down to 8 pm. The government officials pinned the outbreaks due to the Easter Week as well known as Semana Santa wherein many families congregated. As you can see, there is a about a 2 to 3 week lapse to place a strain on ICU beds and cases from the actual holiday. Another problem is that if you look at the calendar, Colombians have an extraordinary amount of holidays. In June and July, there are 2 holidays and many of these prompt family gatherings which create a surge.

I would try to time a trip between a lapse in National holidays or just before a holiday. So mid July is actually a good time to go but be prepared to change as there are 4 holidays between June and July that may have cases high and contribute to restrictions. Based on the calendary, September seems a good time to go as there are no major holidays prior to that. If you do not mind curfews, then the time to go does not really matter. Hope this helps.

Putting in my vacation request at work. What are the chances Cartagena will be back to normal by 2nd week of July.

For some reason, flight tickers are still showing like 1 K for a flight from Detroit, but I think that will go down in June.

J.That's crazy when I went two weeks ago my ticket got rt was $240 round trip sadly on spirit but it was dirt cheap. And I booked my flight only two weeks in advance.

Was headed to Medellin originally but detoured to Cartagena for obvious reasons. First stayed in Bocagrande with one of my established chicas. Place was ok. No doorman and keys were in a lockbox for my check in. Went to Olimpica to stock up on food and drinks. She whipped up some delicious food from scratch and it was awesome. Spent some time at the beach and quality time at night. After a few days I checked out of the place and sent my chica home.

Then I checked into a place on the 18th floor in El Laguito. Nice views of the beach and city from 2 vantage points. Sent for my other chica and she arrived and got registered at the front desk. We had an awesome time together. Did the beach thing, went to Exitos and stocked up on food and drinks for the apartment. This chica can cook too. Had some great homemade meals. We went to Tierra Bomba Island for a day trip. The cost was awesome. For only 35 k per person you get round trip boat transportation, a table with chairs and umbrella, a good lunch that was tasty and filling and an alcoholic beverage. Yes all for 35 k, no hidden fees. I had a good time in Cartagena despite the situation. Sent the chica home and headed to the airport for my flight to Bogota. By the way, Centro is closed but I did see options and the beach and on the streets in Bocagrande and El Laguito.

Thanks.There are public and private boats. If you want private, like Kafka told you, the moment they see you walking to the beach, they'll be all over you. The problem is they start with ridiculous prices, then easily go down, but that doesn't mean much. I remember they gave me a decent price for the transfer, but when we got there, it was like a hostage situation. The drinks and food they quoted me were insane. I wrote about our Tierra Bomba experience sometime in August 2018. Look for it.

Here is what I would do in retrospect: there is a hotel right on the beach (don't remember the name right now) over there with a nice pool, bar, restaurant, and comfortable beach beds. They quoted me like $15 per day for use of the facilities, but then our "jailers" showed up and they obviously didn't like that. Maybe they could organize a transfer for you there, too, I don't know. But that would be a much better way to spend time on the beach than being totally dependent on touts.

My chica colombiana handled all the negotiating and I paid the 70 k for both of us. (35 k each and includes round trip boat transportation, lunch and a drink). We met them at Calle 1 A near the Hilton where the road loops around by the lake. After paying we followed them down Calle 1 A which is a dirt road that leads to the beach near Playa El Laguito. At the beach there were several boat and we were introduced to the captain. When we arrived to Tierra Bomba (Punta Arena) a chica received us and took us to our table with umbrella and chairs. We received a welcome drink and sat down. Later they asked what time we wanted to eat and the food was brought at that time. When we wanted to leave we were directed to a boat down the beach and returned to the same location we left from. No extra charge or hidden fees. 35 k per person was the total cost. This was last week and is current.

I'll be back in early June but when I was there and the curfew was 10 they were girls there early but there were also a lot of touts and incoming bullshit coming my way which made it a little stressful. As long as it's 10:00 pm Curfew I think the girls will find their way out if it's much before that I don't think so but there's always the beach and I do think the curfews are opening up or will be soon I'm just guessing it's going to be 10:00 pm Everyday.

I would say as a general rule that you can find an almost endless variety of Vennies in and around Cartagena at this time. I would not bother focusing on wasting your time finding a handful of specific chicas, as featured, and instead focus on the many random talents and possibilities available in Cartagena.


Greetings all,

I hope this is the correct forum to post this.

I am looking at doing my first trip to Colombia / Cartagena in two weeks, once the borders where I live open up. A friend of mines recently finished a trip to Cartagena and suggested that I try out Venezuelan chicks as well as Colombians. These are some of the chicks he suggested. He didn't have much info to share but the photos. I was wondering if anyone else had any feedback on these chicks, or should I just go clubbing and see what I can find?

Kafka
05-12-21, 16:55
Those are just standard pictures of very standard looking girls you can find all kinds of choices depends on what you want how they dress how they act make your own choices there's plenty don't worry about it.

It is totally pointless to waste time in pre-arranging girls in advance, when one once on site will be overwhelmed by possibilities. Not to mention the fact that everyone in photo is different than in reality.
By the way, those girls may look exceptional in Ohio, but in Cartagena are just average and would not stand out in a club. (well, my memory is from before covid...)

I am currently in Medellin and looking into going to Cartagena for the first time just for a few days to change things up a bit. So far I have gone back 65 pages and from what I can gather Cartagena seems to be around 3-4 times the price of Medellin for chicas at least. Now I know not everything comes down to price alone and I know there are many other factors for some of you guys but at the moment in Medellin I can get a decent looking Milerotica girl, strip club girl, casa girl or a SW for around 50 -70 k or TLN for 150 k. However when I speed read through a lot of the info here it seems like the average price for ST is 150-200 k. Of course that's not going to break the bank but I am wondering why so many of you guys would prefer Cartegena over Medellin and it seems a lot of you have been going here for quite a while.

I'm not saying Medellin doesn't have that (never been), but Cartagena has a lot of history, miles of beaches (albeit shitty) if you stay in the city, and beautiful views from all those new condo developments in Bocagrandes and Laquito. It's pricey for a reason.

Beaches open 8 am - 6 pm.

If you are going down then you may have to get your supplies from some neighborhood market. I have heard of people alternately showing their drivers license and their passport to gain entrance to supermarkets but I do not know if this would work for sure, the article shows the numbers that your ID needs to end in to gain entrance to these places, and I am posting an image I found on FB.

"The measure of pico why cedula had no variations in this new decree, therefore, it will continue to be applied for entry to financial entities, shopping centers, Bazurto Market, department stores and supermarkets in general. ".

Left Cartagena about a month ago it was getting draconian with their lock downs. Cartagena reopened beaches anyway now back till 6 PM which they haven't done since before the pandemic. I spent my share of time at the beach, over the years used Tony and FAO for their tarpa and chairs but I really can't see which one is worse on scamming and mooching any more. I got a roped in cabana from Pedro the last month or so I was there, he charged 20 mill pesos for two chairs and the cabana without ever asking for anything. He is in same area as Tony just without the scams. (in front of the coast guard tower just west of Caliwood bar on the beach West of Kiosko 4) he also knows a lot of hot girls there as well. Pica de celula thing was in effect in Medellin and Cartagena while I was there, all you have to do is match the day of the month to your ids last number odd number odd day of the month, even number even day of the month I used driverse license or my passport card never carried my passport. I never got checked even one time in Cartagena while I was there. Girls were trying to get me to pay a minimum price which I never paid, if they asked for 200 k I said fine then we are having sex two times, worked 100 percent of the time. Real life Hunger games is in effect for Colombia is no other way to describe it, the 3 months I spent in Botero Plaza and i3 months and Cartagena people are desperate, things I witnessed in Botero was shocking. Cartagena the girls are carrying ambien in their purses to spike your drink and help themselves to your things after you pass out. Mar why Sol hotel in bocagrange a good love hotel in a piinch El Viajero next to LDV much nicer and cheaper. Table to yourself in LDV 100 mill with bucket of beers, girls go in and out of the bars continuously bar hopping looking for customers. No real need to go different bars as they all go to all themselves. Mirador del Laguito is chica friendly now, I had friends staying there, it was never easy there before, the dozen or so times I have stayed there. 2 PM is good time to be at Playa Hollywood, girls at the Kiosko 4 Caliwood section and at the next bar Kiosko 3 to the West past coast guard tower. I usually had a cabana on the water so I could see what was hanging out at Kiosko 4 without moving from my beach chair. Hopped out on Avianca to SDQ but made a mistake, I should have talked Copa out of Medellin as the price was only 200 dollars.

Hi guys, just wondering what is the usual rate of the SWs from this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew3I5cM_zgo I guess it's near the famous Clock tower. And when the agreement is made, then you go to your room or you use the love hotels in the area?

The other night, a couple strippers bombarded me asking for a tip. I meant to give them each 2 pesos. Accidentally, I gave one of them a 50 peso bill. Whoops!

They will start negotiating at 200 k cop that means covered blow job and sex.I was there last month and they started off from 300 mil por hora, 500 mil la noche.

Inside the 3 clubs Space, DV, and Delirum was even more. They started off at 400 mil por hora, 600 mil la noche and some even said 800 mil la noche.

Also noticed the closer it got to curfew the more the girls would put their foot down and refuse to negotiate with gringos for a lower price.

My regular chica I've been seeing for a while charged the normal 2000 mil rate for BBBJ and sex but to get around the inflated prices of the new chicas I got them during the day when they are walking around and if they were fun I would call them back during the night for the same rate which was 200 mil plus taxi.

Be careful though, there are trans SW in that area too. I've seen them there on 3 separate nights, they were hanging out under the white building at timestamp 1:14 in the video, this was my first time seeing Trans SW in Centro.

Thanks for the info. It's good to have some idea what are the usual rates. I plan to spend 3 days in Cartagena mainly doing the usual tourist things but I can't resist to try the local talent. Then my plan is to fly to Medellin where the real party will start. I read that the prices there are lower than Cartagena and I can expect something like 50-100 k for SWs and around 200-300 for Tinder / Facebook girls. Am I correct?

05-31-21, 23:37
Here right now. 200 K for an hour unless you are some kind of mark. It's a little more stressed here at night than it was in February. But the beach had been great and plenty of fun to be had all over. Many chicas in the street in Laguito. A little more aggressive than normal. Walk around borracho at your own risk at night especially around the Torte Reloj where there are many more police and small time hustles. 10 pm curfew every night. And no restrictions going into hotels and the kind of girls I choose are not going to slip anything into my drink....lol.

Am I correct?You are correct but read back through the past week in the Medellin thread. Right now you really have to keep your head on a swivel in Medellin some of the protests have been turning into riots and some Regular board members that frequent Medellin are urging extreme caution.

Got up bright and early this morning and headed for the airport ready to get to one of my favorite destinations Cartagena. Everything on my check list was crossed off. First leg of the flight was no problem. Getting ready to board the plane in Fort Lauderdale show the gate agent my COVID test and to my horror, it's the wrong one. I got the Antigen test but to get into Colombia you need the PCR test. If you're headed down make sure you get the PCR test. Oh well I made it back home and will make plans to try again in a week or two. In the meantime have fun boys!

I got the PCR test but the results were on a hand written form with a cover letter. I flew Tampa to Ft Lauderdale and once in Lauderdale the agent took so long reviewing my documents I missed the flight out. I had a 16 day trip planned so I got a room for the night and they changed my flight for the next morning. Originally I was to go to BAQ but I ended up flying into CTG and and taking a bus over. Once I got to CTG for entrance the same thing happened and I got delayed there for an hour while they scrambled around to get approval.

Thank God I am very fluent in Spanish and was able to chat my way through it playing the "I'm sorry but this is what they gave me" routine.

Going back for July 4th weekend and will check all the boxes this time.

Be safe and have a blast.

Site shows Last updated 2021/6/2 but perhaps by 6/7 it will be updated to reflect no PCR required.

https://co.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/

Until the section of Entry and Exit Requirements, bullet point #3 is updated to reflect no PCR is required I would still go with the negative PCR test.

- Are USA Citizens permitted to enter? Yes.

- Limited international flights have resumed to eight of Colombia's busiest airports Bogota, Cartagena, Medellin (Rio Negro), Cali, Barranquilla, Armenia, Pereira, and Bucaramanga. Colombia re-opened most land and water borders for travel on May 19; the borders with Panama and Ecuador remains closed. Further details can be found in the PDF file on this page. Until June 30, travelers coming from India or have been in India during the last 14 days are prohibited from entering.

Packs of American gringos at Playa Hollywood. Really gross situation. Swarmed by vendors and calling over chicas to perch on their lap. Tony loving this as drink tab piles up. But girls seem a bit pissed off when the "posse" heads off to the next party spot.When I was there about 2 months back we ended up paying for a roped off spot and the vendors still kept harassing us more than what I was used to. I ended up tipping the guy who gave us the cabana to just keep the them away from us. That included the trinket guy, massage ladies, lady selling slices of fruit, Bluetooth speaker guy, domino guy, tattoo guy, etc. Then he constantly grabbed buckets of sea water to wet down the sand by our area so the wind didn't blow it on us or in our food or drinks. He earned that tip and it just might be something ill do in the future.

As for the girls, a lot of the American gringos always do that especially in the clubs. They are just there to take pictures and post stories on Instagram or stream live that they are having a good time with good looking girls then leave the girls there in a state of confusion when the girls think they are going to take them. Chances are you will see that same "posse" later in Centro at Delirium or Space VIP doing the same exact thing. Tiempo es dinero. The more time they waste trying to get the "posse" attention the easier it is for me to negotiate when they are left high and dry.

Usually when you see a group of gringos they're usually broke even if they don't look like it LMAO. They do the same in Sosua. Waste the girls time and bounce LOL. Like you I ain't complaining about that since less competition for me, only prob sometimes we may have to wait for the girls pack to leave their fake VIPs. If you watch them on youtube you'll some of them there, group of 5-8 dudes on vaca, always eating together and hanging together and no one's banging, they only call women over for views to help their channels. Nah I'm good, I travel for pussy not sausage fests which is why I leave friends behind when they said they aint got money for hoes.

It was me and my partner and about five guys that came out of nowhere. I told them look guys the rapping is cool, but my friend and I are talking personal business and we need to be alone. You guys might want to fine a new gringo, I don't travel with a posse. They took the hint better from me than they did others that day. I guess it's all about How you carry yourself and express yourself.

I had one Venezuelan that walked four blocks behind me begging. It was the first time I ever experienced it. I literally ignored her but she would not stop. I finally waited until I got in front of a large group of people. Then I stated out loud "I don't like Venezuelans. I only like Colombians and I would never give you people a peso". "If you don't have any money you need to go back home. Your problems are not my problems". I said this loud but nonaggressive. I can't believe I was pushed to that point.

Is it better to get the hotel in the center or near the beach?Yes! Any place! I prefer the beach, but it is more expensive. Several apartment condos can be rented on the ocean in Laguito, which is a peninsula with a lot of gringos. Used to have a club there for girls, la Dolce Vita, but it moved.

I am arriving on Friday for few days.

Is it better to get the hotel in the center or near the beach?I am afraid that you might be asking the wrong question, or at the least that your question needs more context. If you are looking for a hotel for bringing girls back then your first question should be "Which hotels let me bring girls back to my room?" because the answer is that most do not, so then you need to search for one that will.

If you are not necessarily going to be using your hotel room for bringing back girls (some guys do not, they strictly use the by the hour love hotel / motels), then it matters whether you plan on doing a lot a of sight seeing in the "old city" which is Cartagena's largest tourist draw and why it is a UNESCO World Heritage sight, then maybe you want to stay in the old city so you can get up in the morning and hit the streets sightseeing.

Some guys also prefer to stay in the "old city" because that is where all the night time chica action is found. The old city properly is made up of two neighborhoods, Centro and San Diego, these are the two walled neighborhoods that make up the main tourist area, but the complete tourist area is much larger, encompassing about ten neighborhoods. I attached a map below.

These ten neighborhoods might be seen in the description of locations of Airbnb and hotels. Centro is where the clock tower is and it is the central point I will use for reference. Centro is the center of tourism and the center of where to find chicas, San Diego is the other part of the walled old city good for restaurants, shopping, sightseeing. South west of the old city are the three beach neighborhoods of Bocagrande, Laguito, and Castillogrande.

There are also three neighborhoods moving north east away from the old city along the coast, these have seen a lot of new development in the past decade, Marbella, Crespo and La Boquilla. Just southeast of Centro and across the little marina like area and separated by the convention center and Parque Centenario is Getsemani which was listed by Forbes magazine a couple of years ago as one of the top ten coolest neighborhoods to visit in the world. Wedged between Getsemani and San Diego is the small neighborhood called La Matuna and it has great accessibility to both Getsemani and the old city.

The last neighborhood worthy of mention is Manga. Manga lies due south east of Centro on the other side of Getsemani. It is a more modern feel than Getsemani or the old city and is more like Bocagrande, but a little more quiet, activity wise, a little sleepy and more of a local feel to the place, there is no actual beach though one side of the neighborhood is on the Bay of Cartagena and has 3 marinas and some park areas on the water.

If you want an ocean view and an easy walk to the beach nearby then you want to stay near the beach, Bocagrande, Castillogrande, Laguito or something along the coast north east of the old city.

The fact of the matter is that anywhere you stay is going to be 10 - 15 minutes away from anything else and taxis are always coming down the road.

I personally usually stay in Laguito, I find chica friendly buildings there and I get an apartment with a balcony overlooking the ocean. Laguito sometimes even has some cute street walkers but regardless it is a 10 minute walk to Playa Hollywood (beach) and an average 15 minute taxi to the Clock Tower. On a particularly busy Saturday night when you get stuck behind a chiva bus that could turn into twenty-something minutes. Below is photo I took of taxis in Laguito once when traffic got held up for few minutes.

I too know the layout of just about the whole of Cartagena as I have traveled and stayed numerous times over the decades yet I would be hard pressed to sit and write such a comprehensive overview.

Thanks.Doubtful there are emergency declaration due to no space in the cemetary. Plenty of beautiful girls late day at Playa Hollywood look for Pedro. Streetwalkers all over Laguito. I actually got bored with the chicas. And the terrible music on the beach, boom boxes etc make the islands a more attractive alternative.

Make sure to eat early at. El Muelle or wherever as things shut down early. Plenty of fun but not as relaxed as in February.

Do not get drunk and stupid there are guys getting drugged all over. The police don't care so even if you register a chica or have her idea you can get drugged.... that is really a problem in Colombia right now.

Holy fucking shit guys. I made an account just to post this. I've mongered in Germany, Thailand, Philippines, Amsterdam and Costa Rica and this place blows them all out of the water. This is my first time here. First night. I was not expecting to be surrounded by so many incredibly beautiful women in one place. These women are absolutely stunning. Hotter than than anywhere I have ever been and all 18 - 25. Venezuelan and Colombians. The currency exchange rate took a little getting used to buy it's pretty much $50 - $100. I'm staying in old city near clock tower and just stumbled into two random clubs and found my Amiga for the night. An absolutely beautiful 22 year old Venezuelan. A few problems I've ran into:

- I emailed like 15 hotels before I visited. About 70% had a no "comfort lady" policy. The other ones allowed a guest, but they had to check in with you as your second guest. I emailed like 10 airbnbs as well and that was pretty much the same, but I got the feeling that I could bring multiple girls back to the airbnb while the hotels that wouldn't really be possibly. I opted to get a nice hotel and just get a love hotel room for $15 and avoid the hassle. I didn't really want the normal people at my nice hotel to see my shenanigans anyway.

- Out of all the places I've traveled, not speaking the language here is definitely very difficult. Like very very difficult. I'm considering hiring a translator to just follow me around to help. I don't speak any Spanish and it's tough.

- The people on the streets are very aggressive. Walk around for 5 minutes and you'll be surrounded by people annoying you. I don't acknowledge them at all and try to just walk away, but it's really really hard. They follow you forever. At one point I had 6 of them surround me and when I finally acknowledged their presence and told them to fuck off one kid said "ok I tell police you have cocaine on you and you will go to jail. " I said "fuck you tell them, I don't have shit" and went into the nearest bar to escape. I stayed in the bar for like 30 minutes and a few were still waiting outside for me when I left! I ran back to my hotel like a crazy person and they finally stopped following me LOL. But, 5 minutes later, a whole new crop of annoying fucks followed me again. It never stops. They are relentless. I'd honestly be happy to pay $100 for 1-2 guys to follow me around all night and tell these annoying fucks to fuck off and translate Spanish to English for me. It's honestly that bad. Really really bad. Keep your guard up. Let me know if you know anyone that would provide this type of service. I'd be happy to pay for it.

That's all for now. I'm bored in my hotel room because of the fucking Covid curfew. It's 9 pm and everything is shut down. It sucks for sure. After my night in heaven with probably the hottest girl I've ever been with in my entire night I'm already planning a second trip.

Hotter than than anywhere I have ever been and all 18 - 25. After my night in heaven with probably the hottest girl I've ever been with in my entire night I'm already planning a second trip.Welcome to paradise! I have been saying it for years. The greatest concentration of gorgeous women available at a price in the world. Between Plaza de Los Coches and the clubs that are within walking distance. Its just amazing the selection of gorgeous women. I have been to Thailand and have seen their red light districts, I can see if a man was partial to Asian women or another ethnicity, how they could disagree but I'm biased toward Latinas. Also as for Cartagena the bonus for me is that I appreciate the historic architecture and the ocean setting enough that I would probably visit even if there were not putas.

A few years ago there was an uptick in protests against prostitution in Plaza de Los Coches (clock tower area) and a reporter wrote a very eloquently written article about in defense of the prostitutes the title of the article being "The Sweet Smell of Plaza de Los Coches" here is an excerpt that I translated and a link below to the article, I used the Google Translator imbedded in my Google Chrome browser to translate the full article.

"A sweet aroma dominates the area. The benches are occupied by women arranged in threes, all with their backs straight, their legs crossed, dressed in phosphorescent garments well above the knee. The sweet aroma that dominates the area belongs to them. It is the sweet smell of prostitutes that every night take over that space to strut their silhouettes. Sirens who, instead of singing, perfume themselves to the last centimeter of their bodies to attract men. The Plaza de Los Coches is, at that time, the only place in the Historic Center that can boast of smelling so good. What would the Plaza de Los Coches would be without this handful of Egyptian princesses who visit it every night to be there, standing as lookouts, firmer than the Clock Tower, as if they were the ones who actually marked the hour of the town. Without prostitutes and without the party places whose economy depends on them, the Plaza de Los Coches would be a dead place, devoid of humanity...."

And true about the relentless and aggressive dumb as fuck costenos that will harass you. There is no easy way and it has gotten much much worse because of the pandemic and shut down last year 2020.

My last stay in Cartagena was in November 2020 and a 2 block walk from my hotel to the clock tower and I had no less then a dozen costeno fucks harassing me, all within a 3 minute walk, after a no thank you if they continue to follow me I will cuss them out in Spanish with every disgusting and humiliating expressions I can muster up, I just play with them, I don't give a shit with these punks anymore, they are costeno lazy ass punks.

I don't know why the Tourist police don't do something, anything to curb these assaults so I look at it now as just having fun with them at their expense.

You all get my attitudes that I have about costenos, they are all a kin to cockroaches in my eyes.

And I love Colombia and will never return to the US.

Much love and respect to all!

I appreciate your report but for those of us who have been there before I can tell you the situation right now and El Centro is not good police sirens blaring cops all over the place and people getting very aggressive as you experienced. On the other hand many of the girls are now at the beach later in the afternoon more than I've ever seen where it's somewhat more tranquil. Pedro at playa Hollywood actually had two semi-pros who a.

Absolutely stunning for 300. But the beach is pretty noisy and stressed out and the entire scene in Colombia right now is more uptight than the US. Especially for anybody who's actually been there before.

I usually just dress to blend in. No flashy gear, no NBA, MLB gear or name brand anything to let them know where I'm from because then come the touts. First thing I learned how to say was "No tengo deniero" Second thing I learned was "No tengo una".

As for AirBB its a long battle. I always ask them straight out what is their guest policy if they do not list it anywhere in the listing. Some flat out say in the house rules they do not rent to male only guests. Some say they do not allow prostitution, some even boldly say if they suspect prostitution or they will cancel the reservation, you must leave the property immediately and no refund will be given. Some are confusing as well because it says additional guests allowed as long as you do not exceed the total number of the house but then further down in the listing it says outside guests not allowed or guests not listed on the booking not allowed.

Its all a learning experience and the first trip is usually the one where many mistakes are made and lessons are learned.

I was just wearing basic shorts, basic express shirt and sandals. But it all worked out. I met a few Americans at the club and hung out with them. They had a local guy that they hired to walk around with them and he was incredibly helpful. Kept the annoying fucks away and helped translate. When the clubs closed at 9 pm we all went back to their Airbnb and partied until about midnight. Really fun time. Then me, my girl and the guy they hired walked back to my hotel and we got stopped by the police for violating curfew. Not tourist police. Real police. I really didn't know what was going on because I don't speak Spanish but the guy talked to the police and after they took my ID they just said not to violate curfew again and let us go. I actually offered them $100 each because I really didn't want to go to a Columbian jail, but they refused. Not sure if it would have gone so smoothly without that local guy. I was pretty scared though. I hope I don't get a fine or something when I'm leaving the country. Guess we will see. Fucking Covid.

Stop offering $100 bribes to the locals, be it the cops or the touts, or they'll come up with a customized expensive con just for you. It actually might not be a bad idea to offer 15,000-20,000 COP to one of those hyenas so they shoo off other hyenas in the Old Town, BUT always remember what they are -- fucking hyenas that's what (do NOT befriend them).

Do not offer them that much money up front or any money at all. $100 to you may seem a little, but to them it is just a gateway to want more from you or con you into getting more. Those cops could have easily gotten more money from you if they arrested you for trying to bribe them and say if you want it to go away to give them $300.

As for the Americans that invited you and the chica back to to their AirBB I would make note of what AirBB it was for future stays or at least get that local guy contact info so you have a connect due to you are solo out there.

I've been going for a while and know a few AirBB owners, even though their house rules updated to say no outside guests, since I've stayed on the property before and I didn't mess the place up they usually are ok we me having overnight guests and if I'm in an El Lagito condo they would let security know to not bother me when I'm bringing in guests.

Enjoy your stay. I recommend doing at least 1 tour. The old city is so culturally rich with many photography options.

Also did you not know there was a curfew going on? No research? Bribing cops for $100 each? Dude you need to reevaluate yourself.

That's probably the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. I'm white bro. I'd stick out anyway. $100 is like $1 to me. What is it with people actually thinking $100 or $1,000 is a lot of money?

And no I did no research whatsoever. Booked the trip last Monday and left on Thursday. I violated curfew again and got stopped again. This time they stole some money from the girl I was with and gave her a ticket and just let us go. I didn't get a ticket though. Whatever. I paid it and fucked her brains out. Worth it.

I just don't walk dusty dirty streets wearing flip flops. I prefer comfortable shoes on my feet. I don't chance curfew and already have my supplies and a chica in my condo when the hour comes, no need to be in the streets after curfew as an easy mark for police. I do research and never go anywhere blind or be oblivious to the facts. I am not retired and do not draw any assistance but it will be nice to be retired one day. Money is not a problem. I just don't act like a big shot with my money because money does not make me, I make the money. I am comfortable with giving girls a reasonable amount of money, mostly what they ask for and take care of everything when they are with me. Everybody wins and gets what they want. Be careful with the police and the chicas with you that get in trouble for breaking curfew. The time may come when your luck will run out.

Fresh back from a 4 day run in Cartagena. This is my 6th time and I got to say, the quality of the babes was as high as ever for me. The curfew put a damper on things but we adapted. Stayed in Bocagrande and had no issue bringing in talent in our AirBnB. Did the beach during the day everyday except one day. Each day snagged a nice on from the beach for 200 k. Anyone saying their paying 100 k on the beach me be paying that but the quality is not that good at that price. Did one day hanging out walking around the Old City and met some stunners just out walking. Nice Cuban Cigar spot called Tobaco why Ron showed us a good time when we brought in some babes we met out walking the please City. Tried Delirium at night and that's just not my scene. Just to packed and to dam loud. Maybe 10 years ago I could party there but not now. Parked it in Dolce Vita and Space every night and had no problem landing stars. They all started at 300 k and I only got one down to 250 k. I too wear flip flops and shorts out at night. I want the babes to know I am a target. I'm not showing up in Versace of I got to pay anyway. All and all, had a fantastic time and going back soon. I prefer Cartagena over Medellin because of the beach and how close everything is. Last thing, those Venezuelan babes know how to party in Cartagena. We got back to my place and we drank and partied for a few hours before any sex popped off. Great time. If that government ever gets its act together, I'll be a regular in Venezuela!

To answer your rhetorical question, $100 and especially $1000 is a HELL lot of money for Colombia, especially during the pandemic. The latter amounts to 100 reasons to target a rich gringo who has more money than common sense and give him a good beating or worse.

Several people have told you by now that your "I'll give them $100" attitude can get you in trouble. But sure, keep doing what you're doing, you just can't go wrong.

I enjoy the thrill of not planning anything and seeing what happens. It gets my adrenaline pumping just as much as a sexy Amiga. In my experience, money solves pretty much everything. No ones going to beat the guy that pays them. It's not like I have all of my money in one bank account. I have separate accounts for this very reason.

When I offered them money I wasn't really trying to bribe them. I was just sick of talking to them and wanted to pay whatever ticket and move on because they were fucking with us forever. They were asking us a bunch of random ass questions. "show me your best salsa dance" "what do you do for work?" etc. They just seemed bored. When I went to pay the girl's ticket the next day the head police chief kind of acted the same way. I shot the shit with him for like an hour and he cut the ticket price in half. Laid back attitude in Cartagena. I'm done disrespecting the law here though and I won't be violating curfew again.

I'm not really looking for advice here. My lifestyle isn't for everyone. Just wanted to share my experience because I'm bored as fuck being locked in my hotel room at 9 pm due to curfew. I did my part for society and got he vaccine before coming so I guess I had a little tick in the back of my head that all this mask wearing curfew shit shouldn't apply to me. But it does and I got to respect it.

LOL I What is it with people actually thinking $100 or $1,000 is a lot of money? A "No dar papaya". Look it up. Your the guy some chica is going to scopolamine poison and take your phone and passport and leave you passed out by the last ATM she led you to so she get the maximum before you flittered off into a trance, then because you gave her the PIN she is going to just keep going from ATM to ATM and doing whatever to soak you, People are trying to give solid advice and you wave it off by saying "people actually thinking $100 or $1,000 is a lot of money?"

I do actually. I enjoy the thrill of not planning anything and seeing what happens. It gets my adrenaline pumping just as much as a sexy Amiga. In my experience, money solves pretty much everything. No ones going to beat the guy that pays them. It's not like I have all of my money in one bank account. I have separate accounts for this very reason.

When I offered them money I wasn't really trying to bribe them. I was just sick of talking to them and wanted to pay whatever ticket and move on because they were fucking with us forever. They were asking us a bunch of random ass questions. "show me your best salsa dance" "what do you do for work?" etc. They just seemed bored. When I went to pay the girl's ticket the next day the head police chief kind of acted the same way. I shot the shit with him for like an hour and he cut the ticket price in half. Laid back attitude in Cartagena. I'm done disrespecting the law here though and I won't be violating curfew again.

I'm not really looking for advice here. My lifestyle isn't for everyone. Just wanted to share my experience because I'm bored as fuck being locked in my hotel room at 9 pm due to curfew. I did my part for society and got he vaccine before coming so I guess I had a little tick in the back of my head that all this mask wearing curfew shit shouldn't apply to me. But it does and I got to respect it.The image you present when overseas is taken in by locals that all foreigners from the same place are like that. So when you land and start tossing money around like dollars in a strip club then the next gringo that lands the locals would expect them to do the same and it becomes annoying with touts constantly around you asking for money. I call it the Sosua effect. Its not as bad yet where chicas want you to buy them a drink before they would talk to you but its getting there. I know its time to find a new place to monger when sloppy over weight chicas start charging like their in shape competition.

For example. When I was there last time the girls kept trying to talk to me in dollars and these were just regular clock tower girls. When I tell them its not my first time and we are going to talk in pesos all of a sudden $100 por hora became 200 mil por hora, but we have gringos going down there not understanding what they are doing and over paying then the girls expect the next gringo to pay the same when the chica is just average and a dime a dozen.

You're staying in a hotel so the front desk speaks English. It takes less than 5 minutes on your way out to stop and ask them if the curfew is in place and what are the limitations pertaining to you. If you cannot bother to do that and like the thrill of being a deer in headlights when shit happens I wish you the best out there when that shit does happen due to you are a foreigner, your countries laws and rights cannot and will not protect you overseas.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToQ8PWYnu04&t=2sI watched the whole video, and it put a fear of god into me. I've known about scopolamine, but I always considered stories about blowing it into someone's face an urban myth. Now, this video, if true, puts everything into a different context. There is a working girl with a story how she put cotton balls into her nostrils, then rubbed the drug under her nose, so you kiss her and you're gone. Watching your drinks ain't going to help you in this scenario. Scary as hell.

Ambien is the new drug of choice to knock you out. It's really to get into a relaxed party situation where you think this couldn't happen to you. Especially in group situations. It can.

I tried Ambien years ago to fall asleep on a long flight. I didn't, just kept dozing off and on occasionally.

Scopolamine is scarier, anyway.

Just thinking about this Johnny something guy makes me cringe. I love Cartagena, the history, the food, the music, and, of course, the women. The ones who drug guys and rob them are scum. They would be scum in any country and they exist in every country. Every woman I have fucked in Cartagena was just making a living. Why you have to humiliate them to enjoy yourself is beyond me. Like all my mongering brothers, I do pick and choose what I want and I bargain for a better price. It is part of business. I did not get wealthy enough to monger abroad by giving my money away. But show some respect. If a client had disrespected me in my line of work, I would make sure my friends in the business knew about them. Their price would go up from there until they found someone they could bully for the business. So in Cartagena, I fuck as many as my tired old ass can handle and I am sure they don't remember me when I am gone, but they did not regret having to deal with me. Besides, fucking for money seems like a pretty smart way to make a living to me. Coming back to Cartagena this fall. Best mongering place in the world.

Like all my mongering brothers, I do pick and choose what I want and I bargain for a better price.No. All mongers do not operate this way. Some say trying to get a lower price ruins the mood, shows the hooker you are cheap, and will get you bad service. Not my experience, but we all have different beliefs, experiences, and ways we operate.

It's simple be on ya a game you can get one of those short stays for like $10 don't bring them hoes back to your room especially if you do Airbnb when I was with my boy they agreed to 100 mil pesos then When he finished they said 100 USd these girls are sneaky that's why you got to take precautions bring exact money with you don't give them the chance to get over on you for must of them they do this for survival.

No. All mongers do not operate this way. Some say trying to get a lower price ruins the mood, shows the hooker you are cheap, and will get you bad service. Not my experience, but we all have different beliefs, experiences, and ways we operate.We all approach differently and have unique outcomes.

I've had both sides of the coin where I was over charged the gringo price and got bad service, or I bargained down to the regular price and got good service. Difference is the one who overcharged was one and done and the one I bargained down I got her number and called back every day until I flew back. Solo experiences are a bit better due to your pockets, your choice but I understand the whole ruin the mood thing which is why I have not travelled with large groups in years. On multiple occasions (pre covid) we get to Playa Hollywood and I tell the guys all these chicas are 200 mil each, do not pay more than that. We get the cabana, pick out our girls, they come to the cabana, they order food, drinks, etc. Everyone is having a good time, all laughs girls are smiling. We tell the girls grab their stuff to leave the beach and take the party back to the apartment to finish thing off. Everyone is around the pool, drinks are pouring, chicas start talking then all of a sudden some chica gets mad because she finds out her amiga is getting paid $100 and she's only getting 200 mil, now she's looking to get more money. Mood ruined!

The ones who do not try to take advantage I keep their whatsapp number and when I land at the airport I post whatsapp status of the Bienvenidos Colombia sign behind immigration and they start texting me the usual Hola mi amor, donde estas. Whoever hits me up first I see them first. On my last day I usually pot another status of either sitting on the wall or at the beach, the ones that wait till my last day to hit me up I just tell them next time because they took too long. Eventually they get with the program and know to hit me up before that first status post expires.

I can agree we all learn from every trip and we know what works best for us and what doesn't when approaching a new chica. Whatever method anyone have, use what works best for you.

Besides, fucking for money seems like a pretty smart way to make a living to me. Coming back to Cartagena this fall. Best mongering place in the world.How was I trying to humiliate them? Because I was wearing shorts and sandals? The only thing I have disrespected over here is the curfew. First time I thought I'd be fine walking 2 minutes from one hotel to another. Apparently not. Second time the girl wanted to go to the after party club and I agreed and we got stopped on the way back. I paid her ticket for her the next day! Club can be open but you can't leave until 5 am in the morning apparently or you violate curfew.

I never bargain for a lower price. That is way more disrespectful than anything I've done here. Also, if she was so disrespected and disgusted by me, not sure why she'd invite me to meet her whole family and play paintball, eat with the family, do some dancing. Helped her sisters with their English homework too.

The girls remember me because I'm not some cheap loser trying to haggle over $15. I made my money by becoming an Internet entrepreneur. Not haggling over pennies with working girls. Get a grip old timer.

Now back to the report. There seems to be 3 main clubs that I've been able to find.

Space. Loud as fuck but the people seemed to be having a little more fun here. Not crowded, but good music and people were dancing and having fun.

Dolce Vita. This one usually has the most girls, but it's honestly kinda lame. Everyone just kind of stands there and no one is really having fun. It's been like that the last 3 times I've been there. This place is right next to Space.

Delirium. This place has a lot of girls but it just way too fucking small. It pisses me off not being able to move or get a drink so I usually avoid this one.

I'd probably try to get a hotel around these three clubs as the hotels around them seem to be more open to the "monger scene. " Anything 3 star or below should work.

I was supposed to leave Wed. But I canceled my flight and stayed LOL. Whoops.

They won't try to hit you in the head with gringo prices but its cool. You get a table, order a bottle plus mixer. Pick out the girls you want, invite them to your table to drink then bring them back to your AirBB for the night. The only downside is that you may have some American Gringos in the VIP peacocking and all the girls are grouped up around the VIP trying to get in while ignoring everyone else. I usually take the table in the back far side by the bathroom so I can see the girls as they come in or go to the bathroom and pick them off as I see fit. They won't try to over charge you at Space which is why I like it.

Dolce Vita a little more Latin flavor. Every time I've been there there were little to no dark skin girls in there. Mostly all local girls and local guys. The girls usually pay attention to the type of wristbands the guy at the door puts on you as it lets the girls know if you are a baller or not. I usually tell them give me the regular band to avoid the gringo prices from the chicas. I don't even get a table, I go straight to the bar, order a drink and see what girls I like. If I don't see anything I like by the time I finish my drink I leave and go hang out at the Exito in front of Delirium. And wait for the girls to come out who didn't get a customer and get them for the normal price for the night.

Delirium is a total shit show. Way too small and way too packed, too many hookahs, you step in and by the time you step out the smoke smell in all in your clothes and hair. As soon as you step in its like you are walking into a NBA / NFL locker room, filled with black guys upstairs and downstairs. This place have the most girls but that's because the light skin girls know that the black guys will pay whatever they ask to be with a light skin girl which is why I avoid that place. I refuse to pay 800 mil la noche for a girl from Delirium due to the color of my skin when I can grab something around the corner at Space for 500 mil la noche.

All in all I prefer Space. Those steps can be challenging after a few bottles though. I usually hit the bouncer at the door with 20 mil when ever I go there. Little chubby guy. One warning, is never use your card here, always pay in cash and never expect change. Again, never expect change.

Live it up! Ill be coming back soon for a months stay.

You established a price and now you're hardheaded code breaking ass friend wants to pay his girl $100. He's going against the grain. I don't see the chica being out of line.

What kind of credit card scams do they try to pull in Space? Its a lot easier and a bit cheaper for me to use my credit card in Cartagena.A few years back I went with some friends to Space 3 nights in a row. Each night a different person paid with their card. The basically took the card, disappeared and came back 10 minutes later asking to sign the receipt. Once we got back to the states there was a list of charges on our cards we never made. 1 card I would understand but on 3 different cards that's a pattern.

I understand why using the card is better as it keeps the cash readily available for chicas and I still use my card there for restaurants, shops, tours, etc but I will never use it in a club unless they bring the machine to me for me to insert it.

Maybe your experience will be different, maybe the person who swipe the cards info no longer works there, who knows? Just be cautious.

With the curfew beginning at 10 how likely are they able to budge?From my experience it depends on the girl, the gringo, and the location. I learn a lot from just talking to the chicas such as why certain chicas prefer to go with a certain type of gringo or why they avoid a certain type of gringo.

For instance I remember back in 2019 it was $100 for TLN with top quality girls. Now a few months ago average girls are saying $100 por hora, and they wanted tip and taxi fare.

Now if you are talking to them in pesos I've had girls try to tell me 800 mil TLN and they would not budge from that price. I've had girls tell me 600 mil TLN and would not budge and these are average girls nothing special to make them stand out from the other 50 girls around them.

If the girl see you pull out the phone and start trying to use google translate be prepared for gringo prices. Its always the same 3 questions from the locals which I have learned to not answer. Where you from? How long you stay? Where you staying? Answering those 3 questions can get you a high gringo price with the chicas or any local trying to sell you something.

I try chicas before I commit to TLN. I would take them for a hour and feel them out. If they want to chill and just have a good time, they are not watching the clock, we do our thing, I pay and they still want to just hang out, chill in the pool, watch TV, or joke around and talk about random stuff, she's a keeper and I call her back for TLN at no more than 500 mil.

I was done with Cartagena mongering after my first time going there and seeing the amount the chicks were asking for. That was when the exchange rate was not as good as it is now. When I see guys saying stuff like if you are paying more than 200 K then you are getting ripped off, I am like you are saying that like 200 K is not a ripoff for Colombia, when the minimum wage is 800 K per month.

I always negotiate in pesos as soon as the chica ask in dollars its a red flag for me. I learned that in my first trip there. What's amazing is that their lack of understanding in exchange rates. I had a chica ask for $300 dollars for TLN and then when I said tell me in pesos which quoted me $600 Mil. I still passed caused the vibe of negotiation wasn't good.

Every 50 mil is like $14 usd. So even if you paying 200 mil or 300 mils it's only like $30 more. Me personally I like the thrill of negotiating. Most of the time I would give them the extra 50 because it's only.

Like 14 which ain't breaking no one pockets.

The basically took the card, disappeared and came back 10 minutes later asking to sign the receipt. Once we got back to the states there was a list of charges on our cards we never made. 1 card I would understand but on 3 different cards that's a pattern.

I understand why using the card is better as it keeps the cash readily available for chicas and I still use my card there for restaurants, shops, tours, etc but I will never use it in a club unless they bring the machine to me for me to insert it.

Maybe your experience will be different, maybe the person who swipe the cards info no longer works there, who knows? Just be cautious.


In Colombia they always bring the machine to you.I had my card numbers stolen and the security code on the back, I was on a trip years ago and I was in Manhattan New York City and the little shit head said she had to "run the card in the back room". Never again have I let a card out of my sight.

No one is trolling. Comparing a club to an NBA / NFL locker room because said club is filled with black people is bigoted. If I were to compare FKK clubs to 3rd Reich headquarters it would be the same.What if he is black?


This place have the most girls but that's because the light skin girls know that the black guys will pay whatever they ask to be with a light skin girl which is why I avoid that place. I refuse to pay 800 mil la noche for a girl from Delirium due to the color of my skin when I can grab something around the corner at Space for 500 mil la noche.

Unlike some foreign countries, in US restaurants they run your card either at the cashiers or computer terminals located in certain spots. They don't usually bring the card reader to your table.

What you see is bigotry I just see as description.

The poster said he did not like the club because of the price of more lightly skinned women. There is also a stereotype that black men like women with bigger booties so probably bigger bootied women would get a higher price there as well.

I remember a stripper told me once that she knew that she had to lose weight. When I asked her why, she said, "The only men tipping me on stage are black or Mexican." Is that a racist comment or informative about preferences based on race?

Why go to Colombia to pay for sex if you don't like Black people? Why not go to the FKK clubs and Germany with people of your own kind?Try not to insert your own perception into my post. Reread the post and try again.

If I were to compare FKK clubs to 3rd Reich headquarters it would be the same.This is where reading an comprehension comes into play. Have you ever been told 800 mil la noche when talking to the chica or do you get the normal 400 mil - 500 mil?


What if he is black?At least someone fully read the whole comment and understood why all of a sudden the price goes up by 300 mil for me which have me end up bargaining back down to the normal price.

Thank you for understanding why I was getting told a high price.

Although most of the time the register is in sight, there is no way to know they are not writing down your CC number and the code on the back. I was thinking about when the person who stole my numbers in New York saying "I need to run this in the back" and I would not let anyone do that again, (it actually got used in New Jersey and that set off the fraud alert because I had registered my travel days and used the card in my home city when I returned) I do let it out of my sight at restaurants. Maybe I put too much faith in them.

If they see the card on the table the waiter will tell the customer they will be right back and come back with the machine for the customer to insert the card, and in some restaurants the waiter disappears with the card then comes back with the final receipts for the customer to sign. With COVID I did see more establishment installing contact less terminals state side, even the new handheld machines are contactless but its up to the establishment to upgrade their POS machines.

Unless the customer proactively ask how are card transactions processed, that customer would not know if they will bring the machine or if the establishment even have a handheld machine. If the waiter have to run all the way back to the bar or a terminal to swipe the card the only way around it is to accompany the waiter to the machine and watch them process the transaction to make sure they didn't write down the numbers and CVC.

They use a swiper to lift the info off the card, and this can be done right in front of your face without you even noticing it.

I narrowed it down to a few places it could have happened. But what is interesting is they swiped my card in front of me each time and someone still used my card to buy products from Amazon. I was able to cancel it but it was a lesson that they are using other ways to steal credit card info.

Showdown.

Every 50 mil is like $14 usd. So even if you paying 200 mil or 300 mils it's only like $30 more. Me personally I like the thrill of negotiating. Most of the time I would give them the extra 50 because it's only.

Like 14 which ain't breaking no one pockets.How you spend your money is your business. I've tipped girls 20 mil and they were happy, but I live in Colombia so I don't think in terms of dollars. I think I read that the average salary in Colombia is somewhere around $41 a day, to put things in the USA / Gringo perspective. Maybe someone has a better source as even that sounds a little high??

http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=47&loctype=141 usd a day?? No way! 60 percent of Colombians are earning the minimum wage which is now up to around 900 cop a month, up quite considerably from the 650 a few years back. At todays number the majority of Colombians are earning about 10 buck a day. If you add in the ricos payday, you will get a distorted view of the average pay the everyday worker receives in Colombia.

Space aka No Name have always been there. More hip hop / reggaetand music and average girls.

They won't try to hit you in the head with gringo prices but its cool. You get a table, order a bottle plus mixer. Pick out the girls you want, invite them to your table to drink then bring them back to your AirBB for the night. The only downside is that you may have some American Gringos in the VIP peacocking and all the girls are grouped up around the VIP trying to get in while ignoring everyone else. I usually take the table in the back far side by the bathroom so I can see the girls as they come in or go to the bathroom and pick them off as I see fit. They won't try to over charge you at Space which is why I like it.

Dolce Vita a little more Latin flavor. Every time I've been there there were little to no dark skin girls in there. Mostly all local girls and local guys. The girls usually pay attention to the type of wristbands the guy at the door puts on you as it lets the girls know if you are a baller or not. I usually tell them give me the regular band to avoid the gringo prices from the chicas. I don't even get a table, I go straight to the bar, order a drink and see what girls I like. If I don't see anything I like by the time I finish my drink I leave and go hang out at the Exito in front of Delirium. And wait for the girls to come out who didn't get a customer and get them for the normal price for the night.

Delirium is a total shit show. Way too small and way too packed, too many hookahs, you step in and by the time you step out the smoke smell in all in your clothes and hair. As soon as you step in its like you are walking into a NBA / NFL locker room, filled with black guys upstairs and downstairs. This place have the most girls but that's because the light skin girls know that the black guys will pay whatever they ask to be with a light skin girl which is why I avoid that place. I refuse to pay 800 mil la noche for a girl from Delirium due to the color of my skin when I can grab something around the corner at Space for 500 mil la noche.

All in all I prefer Space. Those steps can be challenging after a few bottles though. I usually hit the bouncer at the door with 20 mil when ever I go there. Little chubby guy. One warning, is never use your card here, always pay in cash and never expect change. Again, never expect change.

Live it up! Ill be coming back soon for a months stay.Damn, good info. I'm thinking about hitting CTG soon for a few days. Never been to these spots. I cringe at the thought of some of what you described, but I would be willing to check it out to see what the talent looks like. Sounds like CTG is becoming the new Sosua LOL.

41 usd a day?? No way! 60 percent of Colombians are earning the minimum wage which is now up to around 900 cop a month, up quite considerably from the 650 a few years back. At todays number the majority of Colombians are earning about 10 buck a day. If you add in the ricos payday, you will get a distorted view of the average pay the everyday worker receives in Colombia.LL is correct. 900 k COP is what the typical Colombian earns a month. Which is about $240 a month. And don't let the term "minimum" fool you. This is what a large percentage of the populace makes and there are plenty who make less. So literally about $10/ day.

I thought $41 was high. $10 sounds more in line with what I see here in Medellin. This is why it is important to understand the local economy and not think in terms of the Gringo economy. Like I said, I've tipped babes 10 - 20 mil and they were happy.

Sounds like CTG is becoming the new Sosua LOL.Sad to say yes, its slowly changing to Sosua the more the government put in restrictions to to stop the street walkers and foreigners are injecting millions into real-estate in that area as well. I'm surprised that I have not seen any YouTube Drama in CTG yet from these amateur Sosua gringos who are loud mouths, throwing cash in the air, overpaying, flashing money, etc.

But I suggest you check it out, not just for the chicas as there are many things to do in CTG besides the chicas. The daytime activities such as tours or photo scenery opportunities alone more than makes up for not getting a TLN every night. Your experience maybe different than mine or anyone one else on here but that's what makes this board great of sharing experiences and tips of where to go, where the ATMs are, where are there currency exchange places open late in Centro, etc.

And remember, have fun!
