I believe Medellin is the best town to meet a nice, beautiful, down to earth chica. If you speak spanish you can easily do it on your own .. if not, go thru a service like I posted about here before on the Medellin page (see: www.colombiansweethearts.com).
Also another service is opening soon in Medellin and the owner is a really cool guy. More about this soon once it's up and running.
Buenos Aires ... in my opinion ... nice looking ladies ... hot! ... but not nearly as approachable as the Colombianas.
Just my humble opinion once again.
Suerte!

Hi Guys,
have to agree with Ricker here...allthough I think also in Cartagena,Barranquilla and other larger cities one can find a "nice girl".
Indeed many argentinian women are VERY arogant and down right stock up. That is what at least 3 Americans have told me (which I know)that were allready there.
Hot...pretty...sure.....but a good life mate?? I doubt it.
IMHO Colombia and Brasil are the countries were the chicks are.
Argentina can be ok for mongering...but looking there for a wife??
Johan.

Maybe it is because there are so many blondes among the Paisa, so my looks are less unique, but I got LESS flirty looks in Medellin than any just about any other city in Colombia (save perhaps Cartagena).
IMHO, the "best" places are the mid-sized cities which are off the main path of visitors (BOG-CLO-MDE-CTG). I have a personal favorite, but I won't be posting it here (sorry).

Guys,
Is Cali or Columbia in general a good place for bareback full service? I'm in Asia, where this is redily available, and as much as I want to try Latinas, I don't want to spend a lot of money to fuck a rubber. I've heard Brazil and Argentina are not good for this, wonder if Columbia is any better?

Opebo,
Based on my experience, I would say it’s fairly easy to screw chicas bareback in Colombia. Obviously, there’s many factors that play into this equation as every situation is different. For me, it was most easily available with the non and semi-pro girls. Of the ten calenas I had sex with, I went bareback with 5 of them. 2 of the girls were non-pros who had very few sexual partners prior to me (not that this matters). The other 3 chicas I would categorize as semi-pros. I met them thru a friend as the girls were just getting started in the pay 4 play game. The other 5 girls I was with, I didn’t have a desire to go bareback even if it was offered. One of the girls was a SW, and others were seasoned pros who were a little on the trashy side.
I do remember one of the non pros asking me to put on a rubber. She was concerned about getting pregnant. I told her to trust me and also let her know I was too drunk for release. I think the rest allowed bareback because they were into the moment and wanted to feel the extra sensation that one gets when going sin condon.
As in the States, there are the inherent risks of going bareback which we are all aware of. For me, I treat every situation different and I’m actually open to more bareback sex in Latin America then in the states. As I meet more non-pro girls from Latin America, I find they have less sexual partners (haven’t gone to Brazil) then their US counterparts. Most have only had 1 to 3 sexual partners and never engaged in one night stands. Of course, just because a girl has had few sexual partners doesn’t totally diminish the risk of disease (especially since most of the dudes in Latin America cheat on their girlfriends.) Therein is the risk reward factor and one I'm willing to accept.
With that being said, there are situations where I will absolutely NOT go bareback. These include…When a pro tells you bareback is okay if you pay extra. The chica in general has bad hygiene. The chica is a seasoned pro or a SW.
Be careful out there Opebo. Realize that it’s a numbers game and probably just a matter of time before yourself or I come down with something. Hopefully, carefully choosing your partner will lessen this risk.
Late,
Judd

I posted several photos yesterday in the 'photos section' of chicas i recently found in both Cali and Medellin.
Disfrute.

I know some of you veterans spend a lot of time or maybe even live in Cali, or other parts of Colombia.
I'm a 55 year-old American guy who spent a few weeks in Cali a few years ago and fell in love with Colombia, Cali, and most especially, las Calenas.
I'm retiring later this year, have a good nest egg and would like to live in Cali. However, I would like to have some kind of small, income-generating business there since my nest egg is not of sufficient size to carry me for what I hope is many more years on this beautiful planet.
So, my question to any of you who is in the know: Can a gringo legally own a business, and live legally in Colombia? Many thanks for any input.
-
LomeTogo,
I live and work in Cali. Getting a legal status that doesn't force you to get out of Colombia every couple of months is a pain in the butt. There are 2 ways around this: 1) get married, or 2) a bribe in the right hands. Getting married should take you 1-2 weeks. That is a walk in the park. Provided that you do not intend to live oversees, you get rid of the passport diggers. Now you are left to spot the golddiggers and move on.
As for having a business in Colombia, it's pretty much a pain in the butt. I personally chose not to do that because of the inherent complexity of the system. Quick example: your invoice numbers... When you right an invoice in Colombia, you can not pick just any number. You need to have a number range (about 1000 at a time) approved by the government (NIT). If you lose any of those invoices, you're in trouble. Your accounting needs to have them reproduced in there and so on. So, bottom line is that you'll need to get in line for a couple of hours every second month to go and beg for numbers; who wants that??? After that, there is the bank mess. In Colombia, you can't just put a check in an enveloppe and send it (they get stolen, photocopied), for every bill that you get (including your business), you need to go at a different bank (the bank of the issuer of the bill), and pay it in cash there. That's a whole lot of banks to visit for a business. For those fun trips, I have a guy with his moto that does it for me for about $3/hour. But still, it's quite a mess. I prefer opening my bank account in Panama also. They are in US dollars and totally confidential.

I"m headed to Cali next month and need some information. Does anybody know if the Hotel Valle Real is close to Flores Frescas?
-
ALDO7,
That hotel is not close enough to walk to Flores frescas, However it is a short taxi ride for about 2500 pesos each way. Flores frescas is over priced and in my opinion I think way over rated.You can often do better than that both in quality and price in the many houses in Cali or even off the street, but that is only one man's opinion.

AA has a special fare, a weekend web-only fare, $319, MIA to Cali or Medellin, depart only Oct/15-17, return only Oct/19-21 (or is that 20-22?).

Guys:
Studying Spanish abroad 6-10 months is my plan. Mexico was my choice at first. I’ve been Mexico several times and have some friends there, but it’s little pricey. Colombia is much cheaper. Antifreeze,Ricker,Sufer, and other experts, what's my best bet. Cali or Medellin?
Money is a big issue in my case. After car and condo payments, I only have $700-1000’month to spend. Does it enough cover rent, food, mongering, and cab? Yes, the safety issue. Studying in Colombia is little risk mission. I don’t mind some adventures, but it sucks if you’re kidnapped for ransom or robbed every other day. So, Medellin or Cali, which one is better for longer stay. Thanks, guys.

supertomcat001,
Medellin is not as secure as Cali. Medellin is surrounded by mountains that are host to paramilitaries and other self pronounced police.
I have lived in Cali for more than 6 months now. I go to work every day in bus ($0.25) and I and my familly (3 persons) live on $1200/month. So, $700/month is plenty of money here if you do not go in one of those special appartments for foregners that charge up to $40/day. I live in an 1800 sq. foot appartment that costs about $225/month (with security guards downstairs and indoor parking lot). I live the way colombians do, and that is the way to go in Cali.
I encourage you to come to Cali. You could even get private Spanish lessons from a cuttie in a bed...
Good luck!

Antifreeze,
I will be coming sown to stay for a couple months to and I am in a similiar situation to supertomcat001. If you could can you please give me any recomendations for an affordable place to stay? I would love to have a place like yours as the size and rent is great, however I was under the impression that it is hard to get a apartment for a short term like that because 1) Apartments like that typically require 6-12 month leases, and 2) most would be unfurnished so it would not be practical for someone staying a few months.
In your experience is it possible to find nice, furnished, apartments, houses for rent on a month to month basis, and if so where would be a good place to look?
Thanks in advance.

Yo Tomcat: I agree with Antifreeze and would probably choose Cali over Medellin, especially if cost is critical. Primary advantages of Medellin are a milder climate (Cali is tropical), better malls, and more golf courses. Not sure I agree with freeze that security is worse in Medellin, but he has spent more time in Cali than me (lucky bastard!). But then the city is not where you are likely to run into the FARC anyway, they hang in the countryside.
There are also more white skinned blondes if that is your thing (I prefer Morenas).
After visiting Colombia, "vacationing" in Mexico would be like voluntering to go to prison instead of paradise. Ask Dollar Bill, he lives in Mexico but NOW he knows Colombia!
