Regarding Medellin girls, it is matter of taste, both Cali and Medellin girls are GREAT!!!! I think, if you are looking for some elegant, and model class lookin girl, probably you can find it in Medellin. (After all, is the city of Colombian top models). If you are looking for funny, dancer looking girl, will probably need Cali's girls. Anyway, Colombian girls are kind, good dancers, and good lovers.
About marriaging agencies, I consider, what for? you can find and meet wonderful women everywhere. As Panamajack post before, you can go to Chipichape in Cali, you will find a lot of single girls looking for good man.

As I put in my advice for Panamajack, if you are caucasian with some foreigner accent in your spanish, it is too risky to come here.
At present many majors are threated by guerrillas, and people outside is reduced after 10 pm.
But ... you foreigner guys, have one point in handycap. Colombian girls are looking for foreigners to get marry, because they consider foreigners can appreciate girls as real person.
So, if you guys are looking for something serious, act as you are, and act with kind.
cheers.
Marbo88 and PanamaJack,
Thanks for all of your input......
I have also found that a good way to meet woman is to set-up and account with www.amigos.com This is a latin dating service...I've already been in contact with some chicas from Bogota.
Everyday I read the Reuters news hoping that the situation will begin to improve in Colombia. My girlfriend from Costa Rica isa Colombianita from Medellin and wants me to go visit her in like November. I can't marry her because she's a hooker and she doesn't want to come to the states because she makes too much money in Costa Rica. But I'm interested in Colombia girls for possible marriage because they are so hot and I've ready been married once to a fucking gringa which was a nightmare. Bottom line is I am in my early 30s and I wouldnt mind settle down,,,,,, the girls here suck....And I 've already been to Amsterdam and SJ twice....I think San Jose is the best place for fucking around......Marbo88 and Panama have you guys been to SJ and how does it compare to Colombia or Panama.
What I really need to is make friends with a Colombian dude around here....there everywhere.
redbull,
No dout it would be better to have some friends in colombia if you go. About panama there alot colombianas in panama pros and regular girl, the pussy business in panama its booming,the difference between panama and costa rica its that panama doen't rely on tourist as much, theres alot of commerce, alot of people that come to panama on business, so that pretty much driving the pussy boom in panama. About the girls, think of costa rica with alot more colombianas and thats what panama is; the last time i went to panama I met one of the most beautiful girls that seen in my life she was from barranquilla living in panama with her family so if you get a chance to go to panama you will enjoy its as much as costa rica and its safe not like colombia. Know colombia wait about six month it will get better, I love colombia for the simple fact that most females are so humble, a guess they've suffer so much that they just want to live in peace.
Cali is safe for Americans. I've been 3 times in the last year and I'm going again at the end of July. I have many US friends that go frequently. There's never even a hint of a problem. I can't believe how many people are afraid to go there. The only people that run into trouble are extremely high profile visitors and misguided visitors who venture into the countryside where there's no government control.
The marriage agencies in Cali are legit and helpful. The women you can meet through these agencies are amazing both inside and out. If you are looking for marriage, this is the place to meet your wife. I'd love nothing more than for all US heterosexual men to grab a Colombian wife so I can laugh at all the US women as they wonder what they did wrong.

I would love to visit Cali and meet a nice woman for marriage. However I have been scared off by the other reports posted here. Also I read the state department travel warning about Colombia, and it sure was scary as well.
But, you feel that all of this is exaggeration?
When you say that the marriage agencies are legit and helpful, which ones specifically are you referring to? Have you or your friends had any dealings with them?
Your response is appreciated. J.G.

Yes, the travel advisory put out by the US government is a little silly. However, I understand why they did it. The Colombian criminals are unique in that they have no interest in harming anyone as long as they get money. The way they get money is by getting companies, family, and/or governments to pay ransom. Our government is basically saying "look, if you get kidnapped in Colombia, you're on your own". You can be 99.9999% sure you won't be kidnapped if you stay in the major cities and you are not a high profile individual or government official. In all honesty, the most frightening part of my trips to Cali were when I arrived back at the Miami airport and had to find my car in the parking lot. I'm convinced that you are at least 10 times more likely to meet a criminal in a city like Miami than one like Cali (with the exception of pick-pocketers which are common in most central and south american countries).
I can strongly recommend the latinbest agency in Cali. www.latinbest.com. But don't pay anything until you arrive in Cali. Once you are there, you can pay a small fee (I think $40) and get access to about 10 photo albums packed with beautiful and available Colombian women. They will make the phone call for you and the girls usually arrive in 15-30 minutes. Then you speak with them for usually about 30 minutes (it helps if you know some Spanish, then generally know very little English). If you hit it off, you can invite them for dinner. They will almost always say yes. In fact, I've never seen them turn down a date. Don't have plans for sex on the first date. These are not slutty women and are generally high-class by Colombian standards.
BYW, you can sleep at the latinbest agency. It's a little corny because it's basically a house and the showers/restrooms are shared by all. I do not recommend staying at the Inter-Continental hotel unless you are really afraid of local Colombian hotels or unless you have a lot of money to throw away. The I-C hotel will cost you about $100 per night while other decent Cali hotels cost about $40 per night.
kdog
thanks a lot for the info. J.G.
Kdog,
Tell my something, do you know cali pretty good? can you tell me if there is any other agencies that you tried like tlc. I absolutly love cali it is truly heaven when it comes to women.
Panama, kdog, your reports on Cali/Barranquilla make me strongly think about a side trip in Colombia during next trip in Brasil...could you inform me about the general cost of life there....kdog recommanded to avoid IC and stay in 40 $ hotels, but what is the average budget (restaurants, discos fees, drinks...) for a night out in Cali ?
Thanks in advance

Hey Panama and others,
If you guys are think of going the agency route you really need to purchase the "Two Gringos Guide to Meeting Colombian Women" The books is small but very informative. The best part about this is when you purchase it you are allow access to their discussion board which is very similar to this. The difference is that their discussion board focuses on meeting quality women for relationships. The board is loaded with info on every major city in Colombia, where to meeting girls, differences and quality of service that the legitimate agency offers, and the blow by blow action of the reports from guys that go to Colombia. I was shocked at the amount of North American men that head down to Colombia on a weekly basis.
The book is $25 bucks but totally worth it.......their website is www.gringos.com
Those of you who know me from previous posting on this section and the putas in Costa Rica know I'm not bullshiting.
Take care
Just finish talking to my girl in cali, things are not looking so good right know, she told me they found enough explosive in cali to blow up half of the city. Also there is a ton of military in the city, tourism is down big time most of the hotels are half empty. Look guys there is a good chance that if you do decide to go know nothing its going to happen to you, just be aware of the facts so you can take precautions good luck.
The army is always in Cali because the 3rd Brigade is based here and they patrol around the neighborhoods of the base a lot and they are quite visible. It has been several months since an arms cache has been discovered and, except for yesterday morning, very quiet recently. Yesterday morning a car bomb exploded near the mayor's office at 5:50 a.m., a time when you should not be out on the street in "el Centro" anyway. No one was hurt. Many people confuse the army with the national police because they all wear "army" uniforms. The police have olive green - the army camouflage - and they all carry M-16's or =.
Actually, now is a good time to come to Cali. The exchange rate is really good and you can get some good deals for your $. When you get here, check out El Pais' classified under Especialistas. As long as you don't carry large amounts of cash, try to stand out like a neon sign saying tourist, and use some common sense in staying out of bad areas, you can have a great time here in relative safety.
Marinero,
Men I would love to go to cali right know, the peso its at about 2.400 peso for the dollar shit you can't beat that; I know about that military base, its on the highway heading south right before you hit unicentro. If anybody is been to cali recently tell me if they have a city curfew thanks. Oh marinero can you recommend any specific ad in el pais they have alot of them listed.
