Given my experience with Juan, I would only rent through somebody else if Juan is filled up. Class guy that speaks English. He has quality apartments at reasonable prices. Also an honest guy. That, in and of itself speaks alot.

[QUOTE=Visage]having mongered in many places for many years (Phillipines, Bali, Thailand, Rio, Dominican Republic and for last 9 years exclusively Cuba) decided before semi retirement to try Colombia for first time this coming January.
I live in spain but am english.
Splitting time between Medellin at mansion from 11th jan to 22nd jan (anybody else gonna be in medellin? ) then up to Cartagena from 22nd jan to 31st.
Still trying to decide who to book accomodation with in Cartagena? Seems to be a toss up between juans 1204 say or merys 704.
Anyone any suggestions/advice on that choice or indeed any improvements on that choice?
Finally, anyone also thinking of being there at that time? Or indded could anyone who lives there drop me a line, so I can possible connect up with them for a drink once there eg tom33 phone number, or address
Hope to hear from you guys and will also contribute to the board on my return.[/QUOTE]
I tried to send you a PM, but you are not accepting them.
This is a belated report on Cartagena. Colombia was my last stop on a recent 60 day, 10 country trip through South America on a OneWorld Visit South America Airpass. The trip lasted from July 3 through September 1. I was in Cartagena from August 24 through 27, after which I went to San Andres and Bogota, then back to the US. My trip wasn't strictly speaking a mongering trip, but my intent was to monger as much as possible. As it turns out I mongered in Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela, and Colombia. I visited Peru and Bolivia but didn't monger there because I was ill in both places. By the time I reached Cartagena I was exhausted from my trip, but I resolved to monger there because of all the positive comments on this forum.
My first observation, which was almost immediate on arriving in Cartagena, was to marvel at how large breasted the women are. I saw this all over the place--on the street, in shops, reataurants, everywhere--and it applies to almost all women, whether young, old, married, single, beautiful, ugly. I ran this observation past a couple of guys who had been to Cartagena, and they all concurred with this observation. We agreed that there must be something evolutionary about it; maybe the large breasted women are more likely to find mates and thus pass on their genes. Who knows? Anyway, there is eye candy galore in this city.
Other than that, I was disappointed in Cartagena. The Bocagrande area is quite nice, chic and sophisticated, with many fine restaurants and shops. This is where most of the better hotels are. However, the rest of the city is a shithole. Centro is dirty, crowded, and dangerous and appears to definitely be a place where it isn't safe to walk around at night. Bosque, which is where I ended up mongering, wasn't a whole lot better. And there doesn't appear to be a lot to do in Cartagena. I find it hard to believe that some people have even compared Cartagena to Rio, although those who did make the comparison found Cartagena lacking. Moreover, the climate is miserable, hot and humid.
On to mongering. After reading the options on this board, I decided against LDV for several reasons. I don't like the club scene, and I'm not a late night person, and LDV appears not to get going until around midnight. I'm more of a brothel person, so I decided to go that route. The best option appeared to be Pleyclub (this is the correct name, not Pleyboy Club) in Bosque, which is a combination strip club and brothel. So I flagged down a taxi and had him take me there. It was a surprisingly long ride, but we finally made it. The taxi driver had assured me the place would be open. When I walked in, it was around 7:30 PM. The place was open but was not by any means ready to do business. All the lights were on and the chairs were turned upside down on the tables. Someone asked me what I wanted, and I replied, "donde estan las chicas?" He told me they weren't really open yet, but that he could find a girl for me. He went in the back and came back with a very attractive morena named Maria. She appeared to be the only one available at the time, but I thought she would be fine, provided there was some chemistry. We sat down and talked for a while, and she proved to be quite personable and intelligent, so I guessed, correctly, that this would turn out to be a GFE. I negotiated services before committing, as I always do, and she agreed to DFK, BBBJ, DATY, and CFS. The cost for an hour would be 300,000 COP. I was well aware that this is a bit higher than most of what I have seen on this board, but I was unsuccessful in getting me to come down. So rather than start over and go somewhere else, I agreed. I later figured out that, at the exchange rate at the time, this was about US$115, which is high by Latin American standards but very reasonable by US and western European standards. So back we went to one of the private rooms.
There are 5 rooms at Pleyclub, and Maria told me that when they are crowded there is often a wait for a room. The room was clean and large, with a bathroom including a shower. It was simply furnished but with a large bed. Maria and I got naked and got down to business. Maria is a morena with the usual large breasts typical of Cartagena, although she told me she is from Medellin. I spent a lot of time fondling, licking, and sucking those beautiful melons, then moved down to DATY. She fulfilled all her promises--DFK, BBBJ, CFS, and it turned out to be a true GFE. She is a good conversationalist, so we had a pleasant conversation after we finished screwing. One good thing about Pleyclub is that a taxi is always available. Apparently they pay a taxi driver a small retainer to hang around. When the hour was up and we went back into the main area, the place was starting to pick up and there were several more girls available. They were all attractive, but Maria was the most attractive, so I was lucky they chose her for me.
I didn't monger any more in Cartagena, primarily because it is relatively expensive and after two months of traveling my money was running low. But in all honesty I can't say that I would recommend Cartagena. I'm a guy who has mongered in nearly every country in Latin America, so I'm not speaking from ignorance. If you want to monger in Latin America, go to Rio. It is the pussy capital of the world. If you can't afford Rio, or if you don't want to travel that far, go to El Salvador. At least that's my two cents worth.

I have never heard those words applied to Bocagrande!
The real good restaurants are all in Centro. Yes it is dirty but there is no way it is dangerous. You can walk anywhere in Central at night. The homeless will just ask you for money but they do not rob people.

I have been all over Colombia but havent made it to CTG yet, but i just could not forgive myself if I had to pay 300000cop for one hour with a PUTA IN COLOMBIA. I mean is this standard practice now? Makes me not wanna go to CTG, maybe just to see the old country and bring my novia. I mean my Novia works in Exito which is like Walmart and she is a Bonified "9" and she makes 300,000 a MONTH lol. Dont forget the ole rule of thumb "A puta is only worth as much as somebody will pay" REALLY REALLY sounds like CTG has really gone down the way already of the likes of C.R. and MDE will be there by the end of 2007. Too Bad! Peace "Chino"
Nice Report Lorenzo ... gracias.
I do have to agree with Miami Heat though ... 300K pesos for an HOUR ... wow!
Obviously it's your money, but WOW!
The beauty I recently posted in the Colombia Photo gallery cost me a whopping 40K pesos for the hour, plus getting her cel nbr and she's now in the Ricker harem ... hahaha.
MHeat ... Cartagena can still be fun, with a chica at your side, though I'd rather take her to San Andreas ... or it can be fun solo ... definitely takes more searching and finess to find hot chicas and good prices like before.
You're right also ... Medellin is facing the same dilemna.
I treat these chicas like gold because that's the way I like it ... but over-paying is not me.
Honestly, paying the high price does not guarantee in any way, good service.
Bonding with a chica usually leads to the GFE. Just my simple, humble 2 pesitos.
Suerte amigos!

Greetings my Amigo Ricker,
I think me and you could become good friends because we have very similar approaches to P4P, Novias, and Non Pro, I as well always do my very best to treat the girls well, ALL OF THEM, even the working ones, because, Over ALL, these girls are human and I really think that they have some kind of feelings, saying that, that doesn't mean you let your B.S. Detector slip or go down as well. And I really go by the old proverbs. #1 Treat girls how you would want to be treated and #2 You get more bees with honey than you do with Salt! Granted if you do get a Hard Core Puta who goes nuts for some reason you can always point the finger to her and be in peace with yourself knowing that you did nothing wrong! Saying all of that I like Ricker now have my bonified "HAREM OF HOTTIES" Who all are dying to spend any amount of time with me and will come to wherever in a matter of a simple phone call. "Why" you may ask? because i treat them well and we go out and RUMBA and in turn I get some nookie. Most of the time just pay for thier Taxi's home the next morning after breakfast. Last thing Look at Comcel Cell out of the 40 numbers 35 are Chicas. This is completely the opposite in South Beach, ha ha lol. SORRY for sounding conceeded or vain. But just the facts! peace "Chino" p.s. Gotta pack leaving Tuesday for Colombia my next "Adventure"
Hey MIAMI HEAT ... yep we have similar tactics amigo ... except to be honest, I'm not much into the RUMBA all hours of the night ... never have been really ... I'm a weak dick I suppose ... hahahaha.
I prefer the nice evenings with a hot chica ... bottle de vino and good music ... though I do dig going out and dancing Vallenatos (Colombian Country Music) ... good way to hold a chica close and bump and grind suavamente :)
Anyway ... treating a chica nicely is not really too difficult ... usually they're pretty nice ... just trying to survive ... usually single mothers.
The hard core, bitter ones ... I just avoid them, no matter how hot they might be ... there's always another hottie just around the corner.
Anyway ... taker easy amigo ... where ya heading Heat?
I'll be in Medellin in a few nights and then back to Cali.
Suerte!
What the Fcuk?? I feel like I'm reading excerpts from the Mutual Ingratiation Society. "My novia's so hot. I'm so damn charming." You both make me sick! Let's face it guys, you're both just a couple of old and fat (respectively) losers who couldn't get laid in FLA and so had to head south of the border to greener pastures. I on the other hand not only don't get laid in The States, but even have trouble getting laid in Colombia with 500,000 pesos in my hand and a dozen viagra genericos. I may lack your charm and charisma, but at least I can compensate for it with my ugliness. That being said, I wouldn't give a single hair off my head to trade places with either one of you!
P.S. I haven't read any controversial personal attacks on this board recently so I thought I'd stir the pot a little and start some of my own. I hope you're both duly offended. If so, I'd be happy to settle this in person in Colombia where I'll kick your collective asses!
.... and I was just about to email you that number of mi novias HOTTT amiga IN cALI ... guess I'll send it to SCOOBY from the Medellin thread instead.
Just kidding SCOOBSTERS.
Chao Calbo lindo :)
GL You rotten b@sturd! No more "Free" Chiva Rides for YOU!!! LOL
It's the guys who don't have the time to research, and then to spend in a place, that pay the higher fare. If you know where to look and how to shop, you can get a lot for a little.
I'm probably older and fatter than anyone here. But I can manage to find very nice stuff for 40 to 60K for short time(that's US$16 to 24) in Cartagena. I never do overnighters because there are enough non-pros to fill that bill. I like a mix of pros and non-pros. They each have their advantages.
I have paid as little as 15K in Medellin for short time.

Whats up. Im heading back down to ctg in early november for a vacation. Last year when I was there, friends and I got a really nice penthouse 3 bedrooms, jacuzzi, the works. It was a REALLY nice place, but the guy Juan who hooked us up last time says the place is not avail. Can anyone recommend a really nice apartment or Penthouse, preferrably with pool or jacuzzi. We are just looking for the best place we can find in Boca Grande. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
PM me with all your wisdom. I know you old dogs know all the spots.
Thanks.

Jan. 1 to 15 is high season - very crowded and high lodging costs. The crowds can drag on to the end of Jan. Feb. and Mar. are perfect. Easter week is high season as well.
