Can women from Columbia travel to the U.S. on a visa that is not a fiance visa? In other words, if she already has a fiance visa, that she has not used; can she visit someone other than the fiance?
Thanks
Leif,
That is a good question. I don't have the answer. But in general I think it is quite tacky that she would try this. Chances are the first guy will be cancelling it before she even leaves, unless she has set him up, and it so, I would question her integrity. Either way, she only has six months to use it after it is issued. A sticky issue!
Please can some one tell me the best city in Columbia for:
The lighter skinned Columbians, a good party city with plenty of nightlife, and if possible a more English speaking city.
I am looking to add Columbia to Caracas and Buenos Aires for my next vacation.
Also thinking about Sao Paulo. Any comments there?
Thanks
Travelmen: Does not exist. Suggest you try Argentina.
Leif Erickson: You have OBVIOUSLY never dealt witrh the INS. Technically, it would be ilegal but if the fiancee never notified INS I SUPPOSE you might be able to pull it off. And YOU would not get in trouble, SHE would be permanently barred from the US and the fiancee would possible get billed for cost of deporting her (ifd that happened).
TravelMen,
Try Bogota. You will not find any English, but the chicas are very light-skinned. In a city of 7 million, you ought to be able to find a party at any time.
Cartagena is your best chance for English, but there isn't much. This resort town parties 24/7. Chicas from CTG are generally darker but there are some lighter ones and chicas come here from all over Colombia looking to hook-up with a non-Colombian.
Actually you only really find many darker-skinned chicas along the Caribbean coast.
For your first visit, I would strongly suggest CTG. I live there about 6 months a year and had no trouble with limited Spanish skills when I first came.
In Dcember I go to Brazil and I am thinking about combining it with a stay in Colombia. The advantage in Clombia would be that I speak spanish. My main reason of going to Clombia are the chicas but I want to do some other things too. I want to travel around by bus and my targets are Bogota, edellin, ali and the north coast. How are the women compared to Bazilians? Are there any cheap fucking options because I am on a small budget?
Thanks for helping a first timer in Colombia!
Regards,
Kuranyi

Would you know if Columbia beats Sao Paulo?
If not much English is spoken ten I am at a loss from the start.
Whats is it like for hooking up with other women on holiday there?
If it is a party place are there drunken foreign women about to have a go at?
Kuranyi:
Even if your Spanish is perfect, I would not advise a first-timer to travel by bus. Travel between large cities by plane and don't leave the city. Bogota is probably the cheapest city. With some game and good Spanish skills, you can get laid for the price of a few drinks.
I have yet to visit Brazil.
TravelMen:
There aren't many foreign women, but you won't need them. There are more than enough hot Colombianas who are willing and eager. In La Dolce Vita in CTG, the only Spanish you need is vamos(let's go).
Yea, travel by bus in Colombia is not a good idea. Domestic air travel is relatively cheap.
Cartagena is the the way to go for a newbie. I would only advise thinking about other cities if your have decent conversational (ie. better that a 5 year old)spanish skills and/or some previous Colombia experience. Don't even think about it if you have little or no 3rd world travel experience.
Colombia is NOT for amateur tourists although you could probably manage it in Cartagena. You won't get as much out of the experience as someone who sorta knows how to make things happen in 3rd world or South American countries.

Cali is pretty inexpensive. You can laid for about 27,000 pesos at most local brothels. Houses will cost from 35k to 150K depending on the place. Most are listed in the forum. Hotels downtown can be had for 55,000 pesos a night. Try Imperial not bad pretty safe and clean folks there are pretty nice. Its not the Ritz or the Trump Plaza but for $22 US its great. Make sure you get the room without breakfast otherwise they will tag on an addition 10K pesos.
HAPPY C
Thanks for the infos! Now I am not sure whether I go to brazil and Buenos Aires or to colombia. Is there enough to do in colombia for 2 months? How much are the national flights? How are are the chicas compared to brazil and BA? Can you get laid there with a different girl every day? What can you do besides pussy?
Regards Kuranyi
Can you tell me how Bogota compares with CTG?
Do many of the girls there speak English, being a city?
Would you know of a couple of accurate web sites with a sample of girls from CTG and Bogota, just to see what is available.
I like to meet the locals and have a go with the non pros in the clubs.
It seems Cali is out.
CTG sound like you get hassled all the time.
Could Bogota be an option? North Bogota sounds good.
Or am I better missing Columbia as a seperate trip and spending more time in BA?
I spent a total of 3 weeks in CTG. The women are worth the visit.
If you go to LDV, you don't have to speak Spanish. They will find their way to communicate with you. If you try the non-pros on the streets or bars, they will either talk limited English or ignore you.
As for the touts, there are plenty. Just ignore them. Don't make eye contact or quickly reply "no gracias". If that's too much, go elsewhere.
Thanks NYC
So what percentage of girls over all speak English?
It's just that I love to flirt in the noraml clubs first.
Does the quality equal this site in Bogota in general:

The ones posted in the WSG photo section don't seem that great over all.
