Calling all Mongers, I dropp in to Baranquilla on Feb 23rd for Carnival festivites. Ill be tryin to connect with Latina Passion somtime on / near the 26th in BAQ.
from the 28th until the 4th of March i will be in Cartegena.
If any mongers want to trade notes at, send me a PM.
Who wants to partake in either throwing a party or making the rounds in town and hit all the good spots? I am talking raging!
I would like to go but I plan to fly in to Cali at the end of June, then out to Lima.
I'm finding some great deals at that time on Copa!

Okay am thinking of hitting Medellin for the Labor Day weekend. I heard Sundays can suck. Anyone want to join and see how we can shake this town up a little?
I am set to arrive on the 24th of March but will probably be crashing since I will be working hard for a few days prior while in Panama.
After that is all about partying from the 25th to the 3rd.
LP it would be great if you can make it! I already have some ideas re places and what not.
I'll be in Medellin from April 24th to May 4th. I'm booked into the Mansion if anyone is going to be there lets party
Heck if I find a sweet deal I will fly into Med for a couple...
Scooby, I believe the correct (Aussie ?) spelling of party in that context has 10 e's
It's PARTEEEEEEEEEE !

I found [url]http://abstravel.com[/url] had tickets on Copa from LAX for $575.00 they go direct to Panama then to Medellin. I picked tht for several reasons:
1. I was told its a pain to go through customs in Bogata & to advoid if possible.
2. I did not want any long layovers the one in Panama is an hour & a half.
3. The flight leaves at 12:15am from LAX & with enough Ambein I can sleep the flight away. lol
4. I will get into Medellin at 12:30pm and gives me plenty of mongering time left for that day.
5. They were the only ones who offered a 4:30pm flight out ll the others it was 8:15am which means I would have to get up at 4:00am to be able to have enough time to catch it. It also gives me a half a day of mongering before I have to leave.
There are others but those are the main reasons.

I'm going to be in Cali from April 6 to April 22. It will be my first time there, but I've been to Medellin and Cartagena, as well as Cuba (muchas veces!) Anybody want to have beer and chase some chicas let me know.
Hey Loco ... let's have a ceveza ... if you're not hooked up already, maybe I can get my new chica to bring an amiguita for ya.
Sounds like a plan Ricker. Y tu novia nueva, smoking! If any of her amigas look half as good as she does I'll be picking up the tab. Toda la semana! See you in Cali senor.
Hey Gringo,
Going down "again" apr 19th-27th to do "little mongering" but i as well have an amazing novia, i puposely avoided apr 8th - 15th because it is la "sermana santa" and i heard alot of things "clubs & bars" are closed and Cali is very SLOW, i hope im not bursting your bubble for that little tidbit of info., If you wanna meeet for a "Aquilar or Costena" same offer goes to you Riker, if you wanna take the "Novias" out one night.. peace Mongers!
Hey Miamiheat ... have we met in person before? Disculpame por favor, I just don't recall.
I remeber the Gringo Loco ...
If you guys have Colombian cel phones, send me a PM with the info ... I come in and out of Cali all the time.
Nos vemos!
I live in Cartagena and will be in Medellin from 4/7 to 4/17 to avoid the crush in CTG. Thursday through Easter Sunday are holidays. Nothing related to tourism and partying are closed in CTG the entire time.
My novia in MDE tells me that there are many people visiting the MDE area during the holidays. I don't expect any clubs or bars to be closed.
Cali, in my opinion, is a poor sister. It is more dangerous mostly because of higher unemployment. Many people may well leave there for the holiday.
in Medellin they frisk everybody arriving on international flights and they seem to check more bags than in Cali or Bogota (I have arrived at all 3). In Bogota, I have always breezed right through.
IMHO Tom is correct about Cali being the "poor sister". Medellin & Cartagena are much better for visiting mongers.
Re semana santa, I have always heard many chicas are with their families during semana santa and that it is a lousy time to go. I KNOW rooms and flights are at a premium, so I have always avoided it. I am still debating whether to go right before, or right after. I did go to the PI once during Holy Week (as they call it) and it was HORRIBLE!
Not true, Surfer.
I arrived on Thursday, 3/16 in MDE on the direct flight from JFK. There was no frisking, of anyone. Of nobody. Nowhere in the terminal. They didn't even check my luggage.
So where do you get this stuff about 'they frisk everybody arriving on international flights'?
We could debate this over and over, but to protect the membership and lurkers out there, I'm gonna fast forward and get to the heart of the problem:
Surfer: You present 'facts' moreso to present yourself as
an online 'personality', than to actually help the readership.
Don
DD, I do not know either you or Surfer but I will assume you are both nice guys. He has experiences and opinions and you have different experiences and opinions. This is OK. It does not mean either of you are bad. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing agreably.
Peace brothers,
TT
Lighten up a little, Don. Surfer can be opinionated, but he is helpful. Surfer may very well have seen everyone frisked on his flight.
I have arrived in MDE directly from the US twice(American Airlines), most recently in Jan. of this year. I didn't see anyone being frisked. No bags were searched that I noticed.
I normally come from the US directly to Cartagena(Avianca). In Cartagena I have always been patted down. At least one bag has always been opened and hand searched. Like MDE, you also have to put all of your bags through an X-ray machine.
For what it is worth, I got frisked by airport security on my arrival flight to MDE.
It may not happen to everyone, but it does happen, and IMHO, it might be helpful info to those mongers that are carrying a little something extra in their pockets, underware, or socks.

50/50 Here! Sometimes they go thru ALL of my things my person ask how much Cash I have the works, hell they even stuck my shoe to see if I had anything in my heel! Then other times I don't even get looked at!

For what it's worth, I've flown JFK-MDE on Avianca 7 times this year (already hit Platinum) and these are my observations:
On arrival into MDE, I get frisked EVERYTIME. I don't hang around and see what happens to everyone else, but it appears everyone else gets frisked as well. What they are looking for is money.
They rarely go through my luggage (small bag anyway) although on the last trip I hit the button and got the green light but was referred for a luggage search. 2 minutes and I was out the door and in the car.
Leaving MDE (internationally) is horrible. Immigration gets backed up and I get frisked EVERYTIME and pretty much everyone else does as well (though the females don't always get frisked). Once past the metal detectors they open up EVERY bag and go through everything. And they aren't quick about it either.
As my trips are usually very short, I now return through Bogota. Why? Because the Avianca flight to JFK from MDE leaves at 6pm, but you really need to be there by 3pm to get through the lines (my experience on three trips this year). That means you need to leave the City by 2-2:15pm.
By going through Bogota, I take the last Avianca flight MDE-BOG which now leaves at 10pm (was 9:20pm up until a few weeks ago) and because it is a domestic flight and there is little traffic on the road at that hour, I leave my apartment at 8:30pm and I'm checked in, past security and in the lounge by 9:30pm - and that includes getting the departure tax waiver (which you do in an office near the chapel at that hour) and then paying it at the Avianca counter and then getting the boarding pass.
Once in BOG, I take the connecting bus to Int'l Departures and because I have my boarding pass I go right to immigration and it's totally empty at that hour (10:45pm give-or-take). Then I head to security and walk right thru - very quick and easy. Just past security there are a few soldiers and they frisk EVERYONE. But hardly anyone gets their bag checked - which is a much different story than in Medellin).
I then hit the lounge and wait for final boarding (about 11:35pm) then it's off to gate 4 or 5 and you go through Avianca private security, usually very fast and only once did they open my carryon.
The flight leaves pretty much on-time at 11:55pm and gets into JFK at 5:30am (with the clock change in the US next week, it'll get in at 6:30am). At JFK I just walk right thru - have never been checked once at JFK (was given a secondary once at Newark last year).
As a side-note - because they are widening the road going from Medellin to Rio Negro on the Las Palmas route, traffic slows to a standstill at times. On one trip we were at a dead-stop for 45 minutes and I made the driver turn-around and take the BOG highway - luckily it was on the way into Medellin - not to the airport. Until they finish the road (which will take quite a while) I strongly advise that you instruct the driver to take the highway. It is a little longer mileage wise, and the toll is 2,000P more (some drivers make a big deal over this), but the trip is 40 minutes via the highway - you gotta count at LEAST an hour going via Las Palmas.

Great detailled response... may have to try that way for my trip.
[QUOTE=Escort King]Great detailled response... may have to try that way for my trip.[/QUOTE]
The details were fresh in my mind as I just returned this morning.
It costs the same and gives you an extra 6 hours on the ground + no waiting in lines. No big deal if you're in MDE for 2 weeks, but huge if you're there for the weekend.

What are the cheapest flights using either method? I come from NYC area.
There was so much security leaving MDE when I left on 3/20, that I remember counting 10 different steps from arrival at the airport to actually walking down the jetway.
The outrageous airport tax of US31 actually involved two steps. You get a slip of paper from a minion first, and later you hand that over with the cash to another minion at another counter.
Even after checking in and going through immigration, there are several more identical security checks, some within no more that 50 feet of each other. Stop, put carryon through the scanner; remove shoes and step through that doorway thing and get 'wanded'.
Travel 50' and repeat.
I kept my passport in hand as I was asked for it several times within the space of a hundred yards, as if anything had changed.
It was so over-the-top that I started counting the steps and came up with 10. Manila airport is the only other that I know that has as much security.
Why post about this? To let people know to allow extra time.
And man cannot live on flames alone!

[QUOTE=Escort King]What are the cheapest flights using either method? I come from NYC area.[/QUOTE]
Either routing costs about the same. The cheapest I've paid is $545 r/t including all fees and taxes - but they don't sell many seats at that price - you have to book at least a few weekes in advance to find one. I usually pay about $650 total.

What airline?
[QUOTE=Escort King]What airline?[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry - all my flights this year have been on Avianca. The flight from JFK leaves at 7am.
COPA is another good option, and costs about the same. With COPA, you connect through Panama. COPA leaves JFK at 5am and there is a Panama-Medellin connection with AeroRepublica (a new COPA partner) around 11am. This is a new connection and they don't show it on the COPA website - but it's there, 7 days a week.
It has actually evolved to the point of absurdity over the last few years. When I leave CTG for MIA now, all my luggage(checked and carry-on) is hand-searched. Just before you enter the secured departure gate, you walk through a metal detector and get wanded and patted. Your carry-on is X-rayed. Then, just before you board, you walk through a different metal detector and get wanded and patted. Your carry-on is X-rayed in a different machine. I was told that one set of security checks was for Colombia. The other one was for Avianca. After all this, I was stopped once just after leaving the terminal for the plane for an additional pat-down.
Inefficiency and redundancy are very Colombian.
It seems the COPA flights to Medellin have about a 9 hour layover in Panama... is that enough time to get somewhere for a quick one?
They should have the conecting flight with the hour and half layover!

[QUOTE=Escort King]It seems the COPA flights to Medellin have about a 9 hour layover in Panama... is that enough time to get somewhere for a quick one?[/QUOTE]
To answer your question: yes, it's plenty of time to head into town. I did that last year. I rented a car from Avis and drove into the city, about 30 minutes away. Plenty of time for lunch, a little sightseeing and some action.
Gotta tell you though, getting action in Panama right before going to Medellin is like eating at Burger King right before going to Peter Luger's. Just my opinion.
What's confusing to me is I know AeroRepublica now has a strategic alliance with COPA and they have a flight leaving from Panama around 11am - so you can avoid the long layover. But they don't list that flight on their website. And you would think it would be listed on COPA's but it never was - that was one of the reasons I went with Avianca. COPA and Continental never worked seamlessly, even though they are both OnePass (and COPA is partially-owned by Continental). That trend seems to be continuing with AeroRepublica.
SlumLord thanks for the info... COPA seems cheaper and I don't mind the stop just for the experience... I can go for a snack before the banquet...or I will try for the earlier connection.... I am hoping Medellin is worth the trip... would settle for a couple of really hot and wild girls for the four days... keep them for the entire trip and just have fun.... the daily hunt can be fun but also time consuming...
I am 3 for 3 at MDE, NEVER been frisked arriving in Cali 7 times nor the two (maybe 3) times I have arrived in Bogota.
According to his own posts, Don has been to Medellin once and based on his CLAIM that he was not frisked, he now accuses me of being more interested in being "an internet personality" than in providing info. The fact that most everybody else who posted DID get frisked at MDE 9some 7 out of 7 times) suggests that Don is just, well, "special".
My point was merely to refute the guy who said he heard BOG presented the most hassles for international arrivals yet, like my comment on scooby's compilation, it provided a prextext for Don to resume his jihaad against me (which started when I called him for posting a racially offensive comment that violated ISG's code of conduct).
Back to substance now (hey Don: give it a rest and take out your aggression on your ex wife and her lawyer, not me!).
To avoid the hassles at MDE (Rionegro), if flying elsewhere within Colombia avoid Avianca and Aerorepublica and get a flight out of Olaf Heraya airport (10 minutes at most from Poblado) on a smaller local carrier like Aires ([url]www.aires.co[/url]). For international flights you have no choice but to use MDE.
I spotted the correct website for Aires while I was in Medellin this past wkd. Had been searching for it for a while.

You can get a taxi (about $20US each) from the airport to downtown for a quickie at Oassis.
You can also take a tour (though COPA) to the canal. The canal is very interesting to see.
You will have to pass through immigration and pay something, but that is better than sitting in the airport.
Check the Panama board and ask more questions there. I was suppose to have a 9 hour layover in Panama on my way from Mexico to Cali, but instead I went a day earlier and stayed in Panama City for a night. I got a 33 hour "layover" instead and only had to pay a small amount more, but I got to enjoy a new location. I liked Panama City. Plenty of gambling and chicas. SW's are about $25US, which makes them about the same price as Colombian SW.

On my first few trips, I thought it was great to stop over in Panama and check out the sights. But after a while, the novelty wore off and I just wanted to get to my final destinatuion as quickly as possible.
To me shooting a load in Panama right before going to Colombia is like whacking off the night before a trip - something that feels right at the time but contributes to diminishing returns at the end.
That said, I enjoyed my layover in PTY when I went into town (They charge $5 at immigration to leave and return the same day). They also have buses that go to shopping malls expressly for layover guests - to me a very smart move.
The Canal is spectacular - something to be seen for sure.
One of the great things about renting a car in PTY is the car rental places are all right by the exit. You just check-in and they bring the car to the curb - no shuttle bus. And when you return, you just pull up to the curb and go to the counter. It's the most efficient car airport rental system I've ever seen. And cars from Avis start at $15 a day!!!
And speaking of BK, Panama City has every fastfood franchise known to man -even some that went bankrupt in the States are still alive and well in PTY.
Enjoy your trip!!!

To all you experienced travelers:
What is the best way to spend 14 days? Travel to 1 Central American country, or make the tour to Columbia, Brazil, Central America? Or simply to 1 country: Thailand, Phillipines or Indonesia?
In reviewing all the great posts, I LOVE BEST the tall, olive skin women of Brazil & Columbia. But like most of you, I like just about everything. My past experienced were 4 trips to Costa Rica, so I am not a complete novice, but defintely not the experienced you all have.
Please help me with your experienced inputs. Any PM and/or US phone# to chat will be appreciated.
Ill be heading to Medellin at the end of April, anyone wanna hook up & party?
Thailand has to be at least 30% or MORE then South America! Hotel Rooms $15 on the level of a Holiday Inn. Tailored made Suits $65 Punany from $10 all night long!
Hell even the Air Fare from LAX to BKK, 9 out of 10 times it is cheaper then flying to South America! But IMHO Thai girls don't even touch Latinas!
And did someone say somthing? Looks as if someone is waking up his sleeper cells!

Yes, you will need to collect your luggage in Bogota and clear customs after passing through immigration. Same deal as when entering the US: you need to clear customs at the first port of entry.
There is a free shuttle bus that runs from the international terminal to the domestic terminal. To be honest, I'm not sure if you check-in your luggage at a kiosk in the international terminal or if you bring it with you on board the shuttle bus. Maybe someone else can answer that question definitively.
In JULY my friend and I are headed south for vacation from the grueling life at web startups. New to Colombia, but am a veteran of SEA (Thai, Indo, Sing, Malay, Cambo). Anyone up for drinks? Very interested bribing old hands with strong drink in exchange for a brain-dump about the CTG/Colombia scene.
Cheers!

[QUOTE=Slumlord]Yes, you will need to collect your luggage in Bogota and clear customs after passing through immigration. Same deal as when entering the US: you need to clear customs at the first port of entry.
There is a free shuttle bus that runs from the international terminal to the domestic terminal. To be honest, I'm not sure if you check-in your luggage at a kiosk in the international terminal or if you bring it with you on board the shuttle bus.

Last night I flew Avianca JFK-BOG and connected to Medellin. I checked one bag in New York and was shocked when the agent told me I DIDN'T have to clear customs in BOG, that my bag would be forwarded to Medellin.
So when I got off the plane in BOG, I cleared immigration first and then had my carry-on bags screened (went pretty quickly) and then walked about 100 yards to get to the shuttle bus that takes you to the regional terminal.
As I was carrying a ridiculous amout of liquor that I picked up at duty-free at JFK (seven bottles) I used a porter to bring my carry-on stuff from immigration to the bus. Worked out great as he even found a large bag to consolidate all my bottles, although it made it harder to carry. A pilot who was on the shuttle bus said he could have them hand-check my bottles if I invited him to the party. I told him every night's a party at my place and I'll be damned if he didn't have one of the cargo guys load the bottles carefully and then personally made sure I got them in Medellin, since I had no claim number.
After collecting my checked-in bag in Medellin, I did technically clear customs as my bag had a green tag so I was directed to the one customs guy on duty. He asked me if I had more than USD10,000, didn't pat me down (first time I didn't get patted down in MDE) and then told me to exit. Entering MDE is a lot more lax when transiting thru BOG.
My confusion probably arose from the fact that I previously flew Continental from EWR-BOG and had to retrieve my checked luggage and clear customs before connecting with Avianca to MDE. So when you fly Avianca, they'll check your bag all the way thru and you clear customs at your final destination.
Sorry about the confusion
thanks for your advice,it is all very confusing,i guess it depends on the airline you fly into Colombia with,but i am still not 100% sure if i should get my bags in Bogota!,where is the bus to the next terminal? I know the layout of the airport,i would be greatful for any help

I will be taking a trip to Colombia in November this will be my first visit I am looking for opinions on which city to visit for that time of year. My decision will also be influenced by the beauty of the women in that area.
Thank You
Unless you are an experienced Latin American traveler with a decent grasp of Spanish, I suggest that you go to Cartagena. In Cartagena you will be able to sample women from all over the country. You might get your ass handed to you in some other places.
I prefer the women from Medellin.

I will be making my first trip to Colombia in Sept. Which place would you recommend for a first time visitor (bog or medellin). I am impressed by the chica pictures. I am also interested in sight seeing and other daytime activities and not pure mongering alone. Is there any mongers provide some pointers for a newbee. Is there any regulars from California I can hook up with to get first hand information.
Appreciate all your help.

Try to check out the tunnels in the place.
I also plan to visit La Popa this time and see what the view is like from there. That is one place that I have not been yet.

Can any one tell me if the immigration officials in Colombia have started asking for proof that have had a Yellow Fever inoculations,eg a vaccination certificate. I just remember reading it somewhere,i have been to Colombia 5times and have never been ask yet.

[QUOTE=Superboy1]Can any one tell me if the immigration officials in Colombia have started asking for proof that have had a Yellow Fever inoculations,eg a vaccination certificate. I just remember reading it somewhere,i have been to Colombia 5times and have never been ask yet.
Superboy[/QUOTE]
No, they don't ask. I think that you need the proof if you want to go to Tayrona Park or Cuidad Perdida. If you haven't gotten the yellow fever vaccine, it's probably a good one to get.
I read somewhere that you need one only if your entering Colombia from Brazil.
I remember last year before entering Colombia, that since I had been in Brasil within 30 days of trip to Colombia, it was mandatory to take the freaken shot. So I did, in Miami. I was dying to take it out ( proof of vaccination) and show anyone and everyone after taking the shot and paying a rip off fee of 75 dollars at the hospital.
Go figure, no one ever asked for it, or even brought it up as a question or comment. Not the airline, nor at the airport in Colombia. Its all b.s. Just to be on the safe side, take the vaccine, its not worth the risk of not being able to get in the country because some jack off all of a sudden deciding to enforce the regulations, so called regulations. Good luck and have fun. Laters!
Would someone please help me? I just checked price with consolidator it was about $1,100 from Miami/Dallas to Rio. Flying RT to Cali was only $450.00. Maybe I should fly to Cali, monger a week, then book a flight from Cali to Rio for a couple weeks. Any advise on this?? Traveling between mid November to mid December.
PS Will post GOOD Rio/Medellin pics for info!!!
I will be in MDE during nov 22 thru nov 27. I would appreciate if i can hook up with any mongers during that time because of my very limited spanish skills. Any help appreciated.

The Colombia Consulate info page says need Yellow Fever vacinne if traveling from an infected area within five days to Colombia.
The Idaho Health District said I need a Yellow Fever vaccination (cost $103.00) to travel from Colombia into Brazil.
I recently posted some thoughts regarding my South American travel inteniary on the Rio.
It is vastly easier to fly to Rio first (you can get a 1 way from Miami for $350.) monger for a few weeks then fly on to Bogata - - -verses - - - flying to Bogata then RIo . . . and finaly back to MIami. I am finding the number of flights from Colombia to RIo is much smaller and costly, than the other way around. I wish that would have made sense sooner. Ha, ha.
However I am not sure it makes sense to combine Colombia Rio inteniary considering it really does practically double the fare. In other words the cost of transportation for mongering RIO AND Colombia doubles the transportaion cost back to Miami.
Nevertheless if one must combine a Colombia/Brazil mongering trip due to scheduling restrictions . . . then flying out of Atlanta (via NW USA) and booking the entire travel iteniary in the USA through one agent is generally cheaper then out of Miami and piece mealing the inteniary through Sojth America (via Rio-Colombia), cheaper by about by about $600.00 (unless I am convinced otherwise when I speak Monday morning with another Brazilian/America agent).
Anyway just in case someone is interested I am discovering that booking from a NW USA point of departure to South America if done 60-90 day in advance can reduce the domestic USA fares by half . . . and probably shave 20% off the international portion.
Whatsmore, a variation if just doing a Colombian trip is . . . flying South out of Miami to Cali (RT $450) monger Medellin and Cartegena, and maybe check out some islands (Rosarios & Andres because airfare in Colombia is CHEAP) then go back a couple weeks later to Miami. Being to Colombia once before I know it is relatively easy (via Medellin) to find a compatible woman for about 10 days of traveling on some safe and beautiful beaches sailing, diving, dune buggy, etc.
Finally beyond Colombia the other seemingly practical tour is going south on the Pacific side to Lima, on to Santiago Chili, over to Argentina and then back to Miami.
So in conclusion . . . rather than trying to combine both RIo and Colombia into one 4 week trip (if time away allows) I am beggining to think it would be better to fly to Rio for 2-3 weeks. Then a few months later fly to Colombia for 2-3 weeks. There is certainly no advantage in combining them in one trip to save air fare.
Currently Kenn on the RIo board has access to a travel agency. I will be discussing with him further potential routes around South America using Rio/SP and perhaps Colombia, or, Buenos Aires as hubs. Tring to combine travel plans between the Atlantic and Pacific side of South America is tricky.
I'm trying to fly from San Fran to Lima, then to Quito, then to Colombia. Should I just do round trip SFO-Lima, then book flights when I get there? Or try to book before I leave in early Jan?
Folks,
I am planning a trip to the promised land of Medellin last week of Dec through early Jan from Chicago, USA. Anyone happen to travel from USA to Medellin during the same period?
I plan on going directly and only to Colombia.
Caught this little exchange in the Bogota thread... I'm shocked and appalled.

Gotta fly from UK to Colombia this time.

Rather avoid the US if I can. Any good routes via Europe or Central America?[/quote]
Hey, maybe a little late. Next time fly to Dubai and then to Caracas to Bogota. A little longer than flying to Miami but cheaper with Air France I believe. Best of luck. I fly from Frankfurt or CDG to bogota about 4-5 times a year.[/QUOTE]
UK to Colombia via UAE? That's a terribly uneconomical idea, in terms of both money and time wasted. That's like taking a train from London to Edinburgh, but with a stop in Paris. No point whatsoever unless you actually have some specific reason to be there.
Go through Madrid or Barcelona, both extraordinarily easy to reach from London. Air Madrid, Iberia, Air Plus Comet and Avianca all have flights from Spain to Bogota. There are likely more, but I don't really feel like looking that deep right now.
A hasty search on Expedia yields a few one-way tickets for about 500 Pounds. The cheap flights aren't every day, so you'd have to check with the airlines to see which days of the week they fly into and out of Colombia to/from Europe. I'm sure that if you did a little digging you could find an even better deal. The savings yielded compared to flying via Dubai (?!) would pay for every other aspect of the trip.

Reminds me of a story I heard whilst buying a rail ticket last year: the guy said this lady had turned up rather confused wanting a ticket from Peterborough, or thereabouts to somewhere in Kent, but without having to change in London. She'd run up the helpline, which of course was a call centre somewhere in India, and they had proposed a route that did, strangely enough, involve Edinburgh...
Back to the subject. I too am dubious about via UAE, but its worth checking out next time. This time I wasn't able to find anything cheaper than via the US. AF (via CDG) was next, then AC (via Toronto). Via MAD or BCN was a lot more, so I passed.
TSA, here I come. Wonder what you'll break this time?

TSA, here I come. Wonder what you'll break this time?[/QUOTE]Okay, I get it... you were looking for something that actually cost less money than traveling via the USA. Yes, you will pay less in cash terms when you transit through New York, Atlanta, or Miami. But you will spend more total time in the air, and like you said, you'll have to deal with the hassle of a Coalition airport... and isn't Heathrow enough? Transiting through Madrid might cost a couple hundred pounds extra (I found one round trip flight leaving Friday and returning Sunday, just as a worst-case last-minute scenario for about £950), but you'll avoid a lot of hassle. Keep in mind that some of the cheapest routes through the USA will force you to transit through two hubs... not my cup o' tea. The ones that send you through only one USA hub cost almost exactly the same amount as those through Spain.
The only reason I can think of going through the USA from London to Bogota is if you'd prefer an English-speaking airline. The cheap ones from Spain to Colombia are naturally Spanish-speaking.
PM me if you'd like to know my sources. All I did was consult a few airline websites. I'd hate to see people transit through the USA if they don't have to. It just makes them arrive at their destination in that much worse of a mood!
I'd *much* rather go via MAD on a Spanish-speaking carrier. Or CDG on AF. But CO were offering LGW/IAH/BOG/EWR/LGW for £640, which is so much less I unfortunately couldn't justify declining a date with the TSA.
And yes, I know that they, and CO's customer-hating service personel (these are, after all, the guys who had me open my suitcases at a busy, backed-up check in to transfer 2lbs of clothing from one case to another so both came in under 50lbs) will have me spitting blood by the time I hit BOG, but isn't that why God invented p4p and alcohol?
Come on you non-US carriers -- get your act together.
Hehe. So you'll let yourself be molested for a few extra minutes in order to save a couple hundred pounds. The hourly rate for that, I suppose, comes out to hundreds of pounds per hour. So at least you know how much you can get away with selling your body for in the USA! It's best to charge the market rate, or else the TSA will think you're a ****... and isn't it bad enough that they already think you're a terrorist?
As for getting into and out of the country with less face-to-face trouble... perhaps you could ship your clothes to and from Colombia? Or maybe go to Colombia with nothing but the clothes on your back, buying clothes in Colombia, and shipping them back home? I have no idea how much freight rates are in that situation, but it might be worth checking into.
Perhaps I need to lay off this subject for a bit... I'm putting way too much effort into dodging the rubber glove squad.
Oh, and I hadn't thought that AF would go from CDG to BOG. It's actually shorter, too. Good call!

AA just posted a Latin America Sale- first glance looked like 10% - 20% lower travel costs. You will need to purchase by March 19 and travel by June 12.
Took advantage of the American airfare sell - arriving Jun8th for 4 nights. I'm a noob - not sure where I'm going to stay yet - haven't made room reservations yet. I like the freedom aspect that the Mansion and VIP offers but the all-inclusive aspect of Medellin Adventures is intriguing as well.

Does anyone know how far the city of Tierra Caliente is from Bogota?. I have tried searching for it on yahoo and msn but to no avail. I know it has to do with the hot lands but where the actual city Tierra Caliente itself lies I cannot find. I have a chica that wants to take me there next weekend. Is it a safe place to go check out?. What is the temperture there during the day and in the evenings?.
Hey Urban,
I think this is it [url]http://www.cotelco.org/viviryviajar/mundo.htm[/url]
Tierra Caliente means Hot Land. Its the name for a place with a summer-like temperature. Bogotá is usually cold, so any place with warmer temperature is Tierra Caliente for the people living there. Try Melgar in your search.

Hey What up like minded gentlemen. And I use that term loosely! I will be flying out to Medellin this Friday "the 13th" Have never been, and I am going down there by myself. A bit crazy maybe, but I sure many horny guys have done this before. I will probably hitting the strip clubs, casinos, etc. I usually have no trouble making friends, especially with the ladies, but I guess if anyone is going to be down there at the same time, I would be happy to meet up for drinks if anyone is going out. One thing I can promise. I WILL post some pics that will be amazing. Actually here is a small taste, a video is worth a thousand pics I would say. I see youtube blocked my video but I will upload it again. Lets see if this works.

Wanna know if you're gonna be in Medellin in May or late April. I've got ton of FF miles and wanna stay at an apartment for a week or so. Not sure about VIP or MM. Give opinion. I've Mongered in Mexico all over and I'm 90% Spanish spoken with no gringo accent. 10 years in Construction in Texas will perfect anyone's Spanish. Got several numbers of contacts but wanna get them straight to the point and if not. PAZ see---ya! NNNNNNEXT.
Let me know. Whould definitely treat you to some good Colombiana PSSY.
Lets get a group to MONGER Medellin IN MAYO.
I'm in Dallas and 34. Any experienced mongers will get a free treat on my behalf if I find the dream GFE. Also want to look for semi-pro or non-pros on certain days and hours.

I am coming to Medellin 13 july for one week, anyone intrested to try groupmongering ? 2-3 men and chica !
BL
Anyone going on these dates? Esp if someone can habla mucho espanyol.
[QUOTE=Reclusedx]I also thinking about doing Colombia in July, i'd be flying out of MIA though but I'm definately down to do a group thing. 23/m fluent spanish/english[/QUOTE]Hey guys lets make a definate date and city to plan a BOYS Gone WILD videos. I'm down to be the photographer and participate in the action of course. Something to spice up these solo voyages we read about. How many pics do we see with 5 or 6 chicas ALL with dick in their mouths having a which "ho" can make their stud finish first. I'm down and looking for some guys that have "NO SHAME IN THEIR GAME". No old potbelly grandpas please. Might slow us down. Would like to do the 4th of July since everything back here at home will be dead. Got $$$$$ no prob and ready to find alot of P4P and non-pros.
I'll be riding solo to Santa Marta 10th. 17th of May to stick a good one that strips for me on web-cam that wants to sing to the mic very bad and another one in Pereira that is begging for some GRINGO CHORIZO. Guys you've got to try the dating sites like [url]www.colombiancupid.com[/url] and [url]www.cybercupido.com[/url]. You WILL find tons of non-pros begging for GRINGO CHORIZO. Tell them whatever. Ya ya ya ya whatever. Get there and its pantys down FIRST night. Talk dirty to them after a few chats and they LOVE IT. Most have webcams and will do whatever you ask them. MAGIC WORDS ""Somos novios"". Try it and you'll see.
Don't forget got to get at least 3-5 guys ready to Monger ISG Pro-stlye. Lets post a date and where to stay and get contact info to make it happen. We got 2 months to get our shit together. I'm down and ready to go for the gusto. I speak super fluent spanish but my colombianas tell me I sound Mexican. I learned Spanish from Mexicans. What else do you expect. DUUUUUHHHHHH. By the way some of these hotties aren't all quite that brite so be prepared. But they are GREAT sex machines. No common sense needed there. Only skills
Arriving in Cartagena on the 4th of May (this Friday). Will be there for a week, then off to Quito, Ecuador then back to Colombia on the 19th for the summer. If anyone is going to be in Cartagena, drop me a note.

American Airlines said Tuesday that it is increasing its service between Miami and Colombia, beginning Dec. 13, when it adds 14 round-trip flights per week.
The additions include one daily flight from Miami to Barranquilla, and three more weekly flights to Medellin. The new flights will operate on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
American will also add four roundtrips a week to its Miami-Bogota service: on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday southbound and Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Monday northbound.

It's only a few blocks (maybe 6 or 8) to the old city. You could walk it.
With a novia and kids, that's a good choice. The place is not chica-friendly however. It's the only place I have ever seen that gives free cigarettes with the all-inclusive. The air conditioning works too well and can't be controlled in your room.

[url]http://www.theapartmentmedellin.com/Apartment1908.html[/url]
The price structure for this apartment for 2007 is:
$75 per day, for one person, or a weekly rate of $500
$90 per day, for two people sharing ($45 per person) or a weekly rate of $600
$110 per day, for three or more people sharing
(That's less than $37 per person!) or a weekly rate of $750
Let me know so we can help save each other some $$$$$$. Rather spend it on the chicas. Looks like two young guys are operating these apartments and I doubt problems on the chicas going up to the apartments. If anyone has stayed at these apartments and got info, good or bad let me know
Thanks,

Well given there isn't a 19th month I reckon that that one is mm/dd but the other is dd/mm.
That would make sense wouldn't it?
(By the way the españoles and the ingles both use dd/mm. Its only us gringos who have it arse over face).
Just wanted to invite any ISG'ers who might be in town to get in touch and maybe hang out and go hit some new spots.

If you want to get in touch, you can PM me once you have that function activated in your membership.
I will be staying at VIP-2. or Skype me . . . topfotog is my handle.
As I read the reports and requests from members, I start to feel like there's something missing. Maybe it's the fact, I am reading the messages and not directly involved with the action. I have been a hedonist in many latin american countries. I've studied spanish with one goal in mind. (I shouldn't have to explain the obvious) I've resourced the data to the max. Yet, something is missing from the experience.
I'm starting to think it's the risk factor. The idea of plucking a fresh flower from the garden of some third world gogo bar has its charm but that's what the casual - no risk monger wants to do. What about some 'On the Edge action!' One has to admit, Colombia has some potentially dangerous but attactive elements that do tweek the senses. Even though it's dangerous (life threatening in fact) how many have you are intrigued with the idea of mongering the small villages and rurals towns? Risking a trip into the complete unknown. It might seem insane but a part of me, fatalistic or not, wants to explore the forbidden zone, just because it would be the journey of a life time. More dangerous than climbing Mount Everest but survivable with the right guides and luck. Is there anyone that has stepped out of their comfort zone and really challenges the fringes? I realize the foolishness of my imaginary safari but, I give it validity because it's an outside possibility.

i'm planning to visit medellin for 4 weeks in november. 2 of these weeks will be vacation, the other two i will work (all i need is high speed internet access). i was wondering if, for that length of time, i'd be better off renting an appartment rather than staying at a place like the mansion where the "activity" might be fun during vacation time, but a hindrance when i have to work during the day. plus there's the being confined in a "room" vs an entire appartment kindda thing...
i'm a relaxed, easy-going guy but i like to do my own thing versus being around folks who party 24 hrs a day. :)
has anyone done both (renting and appartment vs mansion) and what are your thoughts on the pros/cons?
thanks,

I will be in Cali Sep.13 for 4 days them to Pereira, Barranquilla ,Cartagena

[/QUOTE]
Don't worry about the Mansion having a 24 hour/day party atmosphere. It's pretty quiet from 11 pm to 8 am. Most of the guys are respectful of each other's sleeping habit.
I have met a few guys who have brought work there, and not one had complained that it was too raucous to have any of it done. However, seeing chicks in the living room or by the pool might be a detriment to one's work habit.

don't know about the mansion, but it is fairly quiet at el castillo, just up the hill.
Actually, just by browsing on the web, I found a number of apt with monthly rates that more or less mirror those offered at the Mansion. So it doesn't look like finding an apt would be such a difficult task.
If El castillo is quieter, would there be easy access, within walking distance, to restaurants if I wanted to go out for a quick lunch?
I'm still debating the apt vs Mansion/El Castillo conundrum. Even though I'm relaxed, easy-going and not anti-social by any means, I tend to like to do my own thing which is one of the main reasons I'm considering the apt option. And since I speak spanish (a bit rusty, but should come back quickly after a couple of days) I don't think I'd have any problem functionning in a more "isolated" setting. The downside to that of course, since I'll be new to the city, is that I won't be able to benefit from the tips and advice of those who know the scene well.
One more question. I assume that all those paisa hotties are pretty young (18-22). My personal preference however, goes towards slightly older (25-30) women. Does that diminish one's potential choices and "hunting grounds", or it this a non factor?
Thank you for your responses.

Finding something on the web is not hard. Finding something habitable, well-located, furnished, and reasonably priced is hard.
Good luck.
First timer going to Medellin and looking for advice.
First, looking for a wingman that would explore the area with and keep each other safe. NOT looking for a permanent partner. Such someone to brave the unknown together for a few nights/afternoons. Hot chicks is my main goal, but I want to be safe.
I am sociable, not a huge party type but like a few beers to check out the goods.
I am learning some basic spanish. Not sure if it will be any help.
Looking to stay at the Mansion or El Castillo for 5-6 nights. Not sure which is a better fit for me?
Anyone have any experience of how far in advance a room should be booked at either place? Is March a busy month?
JET
If I got money and time, I can show you some massage casas in El centro and go have some fun. I live in Medellín.
March 14-23 Medellin will be dead, especially after the 18th or 19th throough the 23rd... that's easter week. Everyone goes to the beach for Semana Santa. My sense is nightlife will also be pretty lame the weekend of the 7th, 14th, and 28th as Colombians save up their cash for these vacations and of course the weekend after, most will be broke.
If you are planning on those dates, you are better off going to Cartagena if you want nightlife. If you're set on Medellin... choose another month. That's my 2 cents.

I was in Cali in Semana Santa and the city was shut down, I went to Medellin on EAster Sunday and it was a little slow too.
Every Sunday in MDE is dead. After around 7:00 pm on Sun., you could shoot a cannon down the Avenida Junin pedestrian mall in Centro.
Not everyone goes to the beach for Semana Santa. Many Paisas living elsewhere come home. The Thurs. and Fri. before Easter are national holidays. Many Paisas who stay in town hit their fincas for the long weekend. But you won't be fucking them anyway.
You should be able to find some goodies over Semana Santa. But you might be better served to avoid this time.
Thanks for all the reply's. I will look for another month to go. I am pretty flexible for months, but am looking at Feb, April or May now.
Any suggestions?
Chig,
I will keep you in mind. I perhaps would be willing to "chip in" for SOME of your fun if you want to help a gringo out. Heck, if you can save ME some $$$ then I can pass it on to you.

I will be in Barranquilla October 4 - October 13, 2007. Looking to see if there will be any Vets there to show me the ropes and be a wingman? I'm stayin at Puerta del Sol, speak 'Survival Spanish'. Would be lookin for late night early mornin action as I will have a local GFE during the day, about 1 pm - 11 pm.
Good face man here - a young 42, 6', 195 lean/muscular...should help pull in some action.
Willing to help pay for the Vets action.
Gracias Amigo Vets!
Can someone help me: What are some good hotels of various prices ($25 - $100) in Cali close to the action?
I've been pricing out flights to Colombia and looking at the possibility of flying through Panama City Tocumen International (PTY) and getting a flight with Copa Airlines from there into Colombia.
I'm wondering what the turn-around time is like in PTY. In other words, how much time should I budget between when my US to Panama flight arrives & when my Panama to Colombia flight departs? Customs issues? Delays?
I'm also wondering about the reverse.
I've never flown Copa.
I've never visited Panama City. I'll check out the Panama page for details on this, but I suspect the mongering is better in Colombia and I don't want to linger there - even for a day, I only have a few days to kill.
thanks!

I fly thru Panama all the time for my trips to Colombia. However I plan a night there each way because I have been there a lot and have regulars. Worth checking out some time, but you are right. Colombia in general is better.
The airport itself is not that big considering it is a major hub for Cental and South America. You can easily make quite close connections. I have friends who do this trip from the west coast and have never heard of any problems. You will be surprised how close they book these. Most would probably not be "legal" connections in the U.S. I think they focus on moving the connecting bags first as well. Waiting for my bags in PTY takes forever.
There are no customs issues. You just walk from your gate to the connecting gate. You will clear customs in Colombia. It is basicallly one long terminal with a round gate area at each end. Plenty of duty free shopping in the middle and a lot of eye candy.
When you are on Copa you will not notice any difference from Continental, other than hotter flight attendants. The same is true with Aerorepublica which is now codesharing with Copa. You get all your OnePass benefits and miles. Many of the flights to Colombia are single cabin planes so you may not get an upgrade. But they are very comfortable for the short flight.
I have not done this in 4 years as I refuse to fly through Panama. Why? Because if you do get stuck there, it's 1) pay for the tourist card, 2) pay for taxi back and forth to airport.. about $20US each way, 3) I got a runaround on the hotel... i.e. I went hotel to hotel and everything was steep or booked. I finally settled on around $75US to stay at a complete dump, 4) I than had a cabbie drive me around... ending up shelling out $20US for him and drinks at a local strip joint, 5) the Mongering I saw IMO is just ok... pricing was like $100US and drinks were outrageous. Maybe there are cheaper hotel alternatives if you book and plan ahead or have mongering alternatives if you plan ahead, but in my opinion it is a complete waste of at least $200-300 if you plan on dinner, finding a chica etc.
I do everything I can to get to Colombia... regardless of the city. I much prefer hotel rooms $50 and under, sweet gorgeous chicas where you can find them in any city in Colombia for under $25US if you look in the right place, and not getting shelled on cab rides.
That's my 2 cents. In fact if I can't get to Colombia same day, I'd just assume fly through Miami. Maybe I was just ticked off that I couldn't make the connection which was only 45 minutes, granted they told me it could be done. Put a real damper on my night. i'll never go through Panama again. This was 4 years ago.

Regulr Travlr, Winner71 -
Thanks for those quick responses. They gave me a good sense for the practical details, the positives and potential negatives. I appreciate it a lot.
thanks!
Just my opinion,
When I visited Panama recently. All the hot chica's that I ran into at the casa's where from Colombia. But, in Panama they think they are hot stuff and get away with charging double or triple their value in Colombia. Although Panama may offer more to see as in landmarks and the canal, if you are going for a couple of days to hit some chicas, it would be best to avoid Panama and go straight for the action in Colombia.
But if you are going mainly for vacation and to hit chica's on the side, it would be good to stop in Panama to check out the country.
Will be in Bogota this Saturday for about a week. I've got mostly non-pro action lined up, but if someone's interested in teaming up for safety reasons to check out the evening action in Sante Fe, I might go for that. Have heard/read too many scary stories about this city, so I seriously doubt I'll do any solo exploration in the nighttime.
I will be in Cali this Thursday, any one for a drink and compare notes?

Hey gang,
Wed Sept 9, 07. Its 5pm and I just checked in... Im here for a few days. Lead me in the right direction please. Im in one of Juan's flats - fantastic. As I have read the posts, does action only start in the wee hours of the morning? Early leads recommendations.
Thanks
OK, moved forward. Frankly for anyone reading this report. You only need 2 places to Keep you in tail. Negotiations are also very easy.
Word
1. La Dolce Vita - Bar where all girls are working. (take out)
2. Pleyboy (yea they spell it that way). A working house. (eat in/an take out)
Most all wanted 200k + Simple offer was "100-150 (depended on my determining their hotness and my want) and id add the the offer.... and we leave RIGHT NOW.
That clenched it every time. No haggel no waiting to see if they are waisting time with you as a client.
Back at place I had drinks, so all stay the night.
Gotta say gang girls are hotter than the pics posted. :) Enjoy

Pleyboy does have about the hottest chicas for a casa. However, it is pricey. I never paid the freight there. And it is pretty far from the tourist zone. LDV and the beach is enough.
How is the mongering scene in Medellin one week before Christmas, dead or alive? I know it's early, but I'm trying to decide where to go, in this wide world of ours, during that time period.

Medellin is beautiful that time of year ... mongering scene should be full on before Xmas ... afterwards the whole scene dies off a bit.
I'm headed to Cali in November.
What is a good hotel to stay at near ave. sexta?
What are some good neighborhoods to live-in that are close to all the mongering action, but not too seedy or violent?

Armenia or Pereira.
I'm traveling to Colombia for some serious fun at the end of October, but someone told me they're having nationwide elections around that time.
Anyone have an idea how this would affect any mongering plans? Are the bars going to be closed or what?

Which event do you guys think is better?
Im going to plan a trip to Colombia based around one of these events. Its not so much the events themselves that im interested in, but the party atmosphere that goes along with them.
Any thought?

The BAQ Carnaval is far and away the top party in Colombia. I'd rate the Feria de Flores in MDE second. Cali is not even on the screen plus it is very dangerous.
[QUOTE=Tom 33]The BAQ Carnaval is far and away the top party in Colombia. I'd rate the Feria de Flores in MDE second. Cali is not even on the screen plus it is very dangerous.[/QUOTE]
I agree Tom 10 fold. Its ashame how dangerous Cali has gotten in such a short amount of time, this is when I thought it was getting better last year. My novia is telling me that cell phone robberies are becoming such a common occurance. She now never uses her cell on the BUSETA. Obviously that has been a big impact on the quietness in the Cali thread.
[QUOTE=Tom 33]The BAQ Carnaval is far and away the top party in Colombia. I'd rate the Feria de Flores in MDE second. Cali is not even on the screen plus it is very dangerous.[/QUOTE]
Barranquilla carnaval and the Feria de Cali are both second string or third string festivals. If you make an effort to travel internationally for either one, you'd be disappointed. It's not correct to say that BAQ carnaval is better than the Feria in Cali. I have been to the Cali Viejo parade and it's the equal of a BAQ carnaval parade. That said, they are both so-so, nothing too special.
If you want a party atmosphere, consider the first 2 to 3 weeks in December (any city). While there is no specific festival, you'll find lots of people going out at night. In the big cities it's very hard to find taxis during those weeks, such is the volume of people out and about.
I agree 100% with your 2nd paragraph.
As for the first paragraph, Barranquilla Carnival is a big party and a lot of fun. However, it's not the parade that is so great. If you are looking for just a bad ass nightlife, the bars and discos are packed wall to wall and there are parties galore all over the city... but it helps to know people.
I.e. not everyone gets into the discos because they are so packed and of course you need to know people that are throwing parties or acquaintances of an acquaintance of an acquiantance, etc.
As for the parade... don't expect anything like Mardi Gras in New Orleans or Carnivales in Brazil. The parade is fine for about an hour or 2. But going 3 days straight, after about an hour each day it's kind of like... ok where's the party. That is mainly if you are solo or with a small group. If you are at the parade with a big group of people I guess it can be a lot of fun. It's kind of like going and watching the Macy's Parade or Rose Bowl Parade etc... except that people are drinking, dancing to Carnivales music (Carnivales has it's own music), and acting joyfully/obnoxioulsy throwing flour etc all over everyone in the stands. I actually don't enjoy Carnivales for the parade. I enjoy the atmosphere of the nightlife during the Carnival Weekend. Granted, Im typically pretty hung over at the parade from the previous night of partying all night long. In fact, I've seen people go straight from the partying the night before to the parade the next day... i.e. no sleep... just continous drinking all night and morning, shower, and off to the parade.
I cannot compare Carnivales to the Feria in Cali as I've never been to Cali around X-mas time. My bet is it's similar to what I like about Carnivales.... I.e. discos jampacked wall to wall in the evenings.
Dia de Amor and Halloween (weekend before) are pretty big nights as well.. at least from whatI've seen in Barranquilla. Dia de Amor is much bigger than Halloween by the way.
So to recap... If nightlife is what you want then the best times are...
the few weeks in December leading up to X-mas, Dia de amor y amistad, Halloween (the weekend before), Semana Santa on the Coast (CTG or Santa Marta... not Barranquillla), obvioulsy Christmas eve and New Year's Eve, and the big festivals in the various cities... Carnivales in Barranquilla, Feria de Flores in Medellin, Feria de Cali (last week of December). If you want the best nightlife, those are the nights and it's probably irrelevant the city... Barranquilla, Cartagena, Cali, Medellin, Bogota... with the exception of city specific events. Ah, and puente weekends(3 day weekends) are pretty big... at least on the coast (assuming there are no elections).

[QUOTE=Winner71]Dia de Amor and Halloween (weekend before) are pretty big nights as well.. at least from whatI've seen in Barranquilla. Dia de Amor is much bigger than Halloween by the way.[/QUOTE]I was in BOG during the weekend of Dia de Amor, went to Andres Carne de Res in Chia which is like the Mango's (of MDE fame) of Bog. It was in-friggin-sane that Sat. night, so packed it was literally difficult to breathe inside the place. It was also payday that weekend for most Colombians and the scene outside the club was intense, a lot of pushing and shoving around just to get inside. Me and my date squeezed into a corner right by the kitchen (by the time we arrived, all the tables were taken hours ago) so we could have space to eat something. Twice that night, I saw bouncers carry an unconscious girl out of the club, probably from exhaustion and lack of fresh air, not from overdrinking as we all know most Colombians have a lot of experience in holding their liquor. :)
Colombians are probably the best in the world when it comes to partying, which is funny because it's not really my thing. I'm a laid back guy, not really into the rumba thing, I don't care much for those jam-packed high-energy places but when I'm on vacation, I'll tolerate it for a couple of nights, like if I'm with a date. I usually avoid peak party periods because I know I couldn't survive such continual madness but it is fun to watch or participate, in limited quantities for me however! :) If it wasn't for the makeout sessions I had with my date, I would have considered it a waste of time and money not to mention sapping all my energy for the next day. I'm in my mid-30s still relatively young but staying up all night for 2 nights in a row really took its toll on me this trip, yikes! :(
Ok, so I'm trying to plan a trip to Columbia but there is so much info on this site I just don't know where to begin and some of you are so experienced I'm not sure I could navigate the country with as much ease. I'm a 31 year old attractive white guy that only speaks English and is attracted to you light skinned or white petite girls. I guess what I'm asking for is for some recommendations for a first time traveler. I'm weary of going to the mansion because I want to be able to go out and pickup girls in the city seeing from the posts this seems to be where the hottest ones are. Any suggestions or thoughts on this?
From what I can gather Medellin seems the best place to go for what I'm looking for is this correct?

NO. Your only choice in Colombia is Cartagena and don't leave the tourist zone. Worry about your ass before you worry about getting ass.

To be honest, you're not going to be real successful trying to pick up regular chicas in the city if you're an english speaker only, no matter how attractive you may be.
I agree with TOM. Take a visit to Cartagena first. Get a hold of Mery or Juan and get a condo rented. Visit the famous LDV, get a taste of las Colombianas. Go from there.
If you're serious about meeting regular chicas, you really have to learn spanish. Life is much better with the pros too, and less expensive with spanish ability.
Good luck amigo!

I will be in Cali from 1/11-15, and Bogota 1/15-19. It will be my first time in both cities, so if anybody is going to be there and would like to hook up please pm me.

Will be staying somewhere, possibly VIP, in MDE for the week and have completely open plans. Mid-thirties blond gringo with low to moderate conversational spanish skills.
Open to suggestions, first round on me if anyone wants to meet at Mangos.

I am looking for some advice on a couple of cities to visit. First of all I fly out of Medellin on the 26th of Feb. So naturally I will be staying there for a few days. I am looking at either an apartment or the manison/VIP, which is best. My spanish is at the beginners level, meaning very, very basic.
Now the question are:
1. I am coming from Quito, so I can fly pretty much to any of the cities for about the same price. So what would be better, spend a few days in Bogota or Cartagena, or another city? Again my spanish skills are basic.
I have found some fairly cheap places to stay in either city. Just wonder which is best for someone new to Colombia? Plus which has the better women as far as price and best experience level.
I am not new to South America as I have spent 2 1/2 months between Lima and Buenos Airies. Also as far as beach scene, that is not important as I am spending 5 days in N.Peru beaches.
Any help and advice would be wonderful as I have been looking forward to seeing Colombia this whole trip. I also have a friend who lives in MANIZALES if he home, but again don't know the area. Thanks in a advance.
Does anybody know the availibility and price scale for traveling between Colombia and Thailand during the summer? Has anybody done this?
Thanks,
Hummer
Can anyone give recommendations on places to stay in Manizales?Appts. or hotels as long as its fairly reasonable.I've searched high and low and i only come up with one hotel called las colinas at $150.US and colombiacupido has furnished appts. starting at $90.US. I'd like to find something for a little less money if i could. my novia has moved to manizales and i will be traveling there every four to six weeks and asking her to find me something is useless.
Whats going on.
Just giving the forums the heads up.
Me and 3 of my friends will be going to Medellin from 2/6-2/11th we will be staying at apartments Medellin
2 of us speaks fluent spanish.
Me and my other friend very minimal spanish.
Anyone else going let me know. We are in our 20's. Ready to party at Parque Lleras!

Wondering about getting to a major destination like HK from Colombia, and using Air Asia to connect. There prices are pretty good. I have not had good luck here in the states for finding fares out of other countries. Are you in Colombia, have you checked the price from Col to Thai? If so what are they quoting you?
I really want to experience the Colombian scene and then the Asian scene within the same trip.
What about Mexico City to Bangkok as a way out of there. Maybe better to go from Bog to MC then BKK, as opposed to Bog to BKK ( if that is possible).
Do you know any other members that have tried this?

Hi,
I will be in Bogota from April 08 to April 15. If somebody need company please let me know. I will be staying at suites 85 and traveling alone from Canada.
Heading to Medellin alone at this point. I am working on a place to stay and have stayed at Vip and the Mansion in the past. I am also thinking of an apartment. Let me know if there are any wingmen available.
Safe travels
Just wanted to see if anyone else will be there during that time. I am staying at the Mansion since this is my first trip and it seemed like a pretty fun place to stay for a newbie to the city. I know there are other places to stay and other reasons to stay at other places but I'll work on that my next trip down if needed.
I look forward to meeting any ISG members as well as AG and his staff. They sound like great hosts. I'll at least get to meet him near the end of my stay. Hey djin, I hope you are still going. I haven't heard from ya'!

I recently looked at tickets to get to Europe, South America and Asia from here and they were all very high. BKK was up in the $3,000+ range. The same ticket leaving from Orlando, Florida was $1,200 r/t with taxes. All of the international airlines (Delta, Continental, American - and their partners) use US based connections out of Houston, Miami and New York mainly. The cheapest ticket I found going anywhere in Europe or Asia was Spain for $900 r/t with KLM direct.
I ended up flying to Cartagena from Quito for $360+ each ticket r/t + exit taxes. Everything Colombia seems high. Even their in-country flights are incredibly expensive (over $300 each last time I checked).

[QUOTE=Tungurahua]I will be taking the bus from Quito to Cali on Monday or Tuesday.[/QUOTE]Brave man! I'd love to hear for experiences of that journey (assuming of course you survive it!)
I actually did that bus trip in 1978 and although the information is dated, I still remember it as a long haul with multiple border stops and lots of military.
Given the miniborder skirmishes of the past and the big one where the Colombian FARC rebels were killed, it should still be an interesting ride.
Safe travels.
Found a few extra days in my vacation/comp time stash and bought my tickets for this month. I will be there May 14th to the 21st. Have not secured a place to stay but know a few options that are open.

Has anyone figured out good pricing and easy flight connections from mid-atlantic east coast to either Bogota or Medellin?
Any help from travelers more savvy than me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
First trip to Colombia. Will probably stay in Laurelas area, but other lodging opinions / advice is welcome.
Any other ISG folks who'll be there at same time, please PM and we'll meet for a beer.
ISG folks who live in MDE, let me know if you need something from the States.

Be in Medellin frm July 16 - 28. I from the states(US) but currently live in Lima so it will be interesting to compare th p4p scene.
Let me know anyonee that will bee in town around that time. pm me.

Thank You![/QUOTE]The best rates I have found have always been through spirit, but it takes you only to Cartagena I believe. I'm not sure of Bogota. Try their website and you might find a good deal. Sometimes the trip is not direct from your city, but is very inexpensive to fly to one that does through them many times.
[QUOTE=Drgirlsrock]Hey man that sounds good, ill send you a PM with my contact so we can set something up. Medellin sounds great but Lima as well.

They say is the best time out there for fun, but is a bad time for mongering since many girls go to their hometowns to enjoy the holidays. Anyways, I will be taking a short side trip to machu pichu and Lima and see what happens. For non-pro scene, I have a "girlfriend" in Medellin that would be happy to take us to all the dance places.

A buddy of mine goes to Rio from there.[/QUOTE]American is most of the time more expensive from miami, to Bogota and or Medellin. Avianca has almost always the best rates. However, I won't vouch for their service. If you fly out from orlando, I would recommend whole heartedly Continental.
This entry would be a bit better in a general travel forum, so if anyone has one to recommend, let me know (I guess you can PM me if this would be against forum rules to post another site).
In travelling through Columbia, I'm mulling over whether to go from Bogota to the coast by air or overland (or go by air and return overland or viceversa).
I think I'm favoring going one way by air and one way overland at this point. I'd rather break the journey up into some smaller 5 to 10 hour trips. I'm thinking of stopping in Mompos and Medellin.
Any feedback is appreciated:
How are the buses and the scenery travelling overland? Maybe they're good enough to warrant doing both ways by bus.
Any particular routes recommended between Cartagena and Bogota? I'll definitely be taking day buses as the primary purpose will be to see the country and saving money is secondary.
Also does anyone have recommendations for flights? I think looking on Avianca and another airline they were both around 650K round trip (Bogota-Cartagena). Is that about the best I should expect?
Thanks much!
Avianca has a special right now, usually lasts for 2-3 days, for Cart-Bog and back, will cost about 440,000 pesos rount trip.
Scary thought from Willy
So simple, yet so profound. Words of wisdom from that famous philosopher,
Willie Nelson on his 75th birthday:
"I have outlived my dick."
Bus service between cities? Specifically, I will be flying in to Cartegena (cheap on Spirit Air from Ft. Lauderdale), then visit Medellin and some other towns in central Colombia, an area I lived in 25 years ago. I have no clue what things are like now, so any recommendations on ground transport between cities in Colombia?
Has the FARC/ELN situation really cooled off? Those ELN b******s drove me out of the country in the first place, so my instinct is to fly from place to place, but I would rather go by bus and see it again.

KD[/QUOTE]Fly, boys. If you have to ask, you do not belong in any of the buses with the possible exception of CTG-BAQ-Santa Marta.
The bus routes inland take along time because of the mountains. MDE-CTG is 12 hours if there are no landslides.
One time I rode the bus from Medellín to Manizales to Pereira to Armenia to Cali. The scenery was spectacular.

Hi Jackson --
I responded to this giving two (non-mongering) sites which are good for travel advice but see it didn't get approved.
Could you clarify your rules about this please? Do non-mongering sites conflict with your interests here?
Thanks

Thanks much![/QUOTE]I've done the Bog-CTG bus route 2 times already and it's breathtaking in terms of scenery and seeing a part of Colombia that you would otherwise not see if you only fly.
The thing is that is about a 20 hour busride. You go around mountains and rivers. It's not a direct route a la I-95 here in US, where you can drive from Miami to NY in a straight line. So if that's too long for you then I would fly.
But if you want to enjoy scenery and just do something different then do it. It's safe and very interesting.
I would recomend you book with one of the more luxury buses though, one with AC and comfortable reclining chairs. I think I paid anywhere between 80.000 to 100.00 COP for a one-way.
I am in Bogota right now, if anyone wants to meet, PM. Mind you dear mongerers, in Colombia I go exclusively on non pro scene, Im just looking for buddies to join me as my amigas begg me to bring gringos in order to reduce the girls/guys ratio.

I plan to arrive in Bogota evening of 18 July for the weekend. I understand some Spanish, but don't speak it really.
After almost 3 years of practice with Colombianas in St Maarten and learning Spanish and posting a ton of reports, I am finally following the lead of my friends Routard and Mel365 and taking the plunge to Colombia. Arrive in Bogota 22 July and leave 14 August. Switch to Medellin July 27 to August 1. Rest of my time is unplanned so far.
I plan to visit a few girls that I met in St Maarten, and visit some casas and massage places.
But my main goal for the trip is to meet non-pros and try to bed them. Sort of a final exam in recovering from my teenage insecuriy around girls.
if anyone else from ISG is around, it would be great to meet and exchange war stories. PM me.
Zing
Mongers,
I will be in Medellin beginning on Tuesday, July 22 until Sunday, July 27 and will be renting an apartment in Poblado. I am a young mid 20's guy and I will be traveling with my cousin of similar age, so we will be doing both pro and non-pro mongering. I speak fluent Spanish (I own El Alamo in Buenos Aires) and I was in Medellin back in November/December 2007 so I know the territory. Any full time Medellin Spanish fluent guys who want to meet up to hit some non-pro spots, PM me, I promise my cousin and I are top wingmen. In addition, we will be heading to Leticia on the Amazon River so any recommendations of any kind on that town would be greatly appreciated.
Suerte,
Rock Harders

Hi All,
I've been lurking for a couple of months, and just reserved a room at the Mansion for 16 to 23 September. I thought about staying elsewhere, particularly a penthouse with a nice view, but given my rudimentary Spanish and the fact this is my first mongering trip I thought the Mansion a better choice.
I look forward to seeing you all there -- though I notice the owner of El Alamo in Buenos Aires (a great place!) has already gone to Colombia and left. Too bad, it would have been great to see a familiar face!

Just moved to Bogota! Interested in mongering or just socializing with anyone, I am a newbie to Colombia (though know Argentina fairly well). I speak Spanish decently. PM me!

Anybody else in Medellin at that time?
[QUOTE=Drgirlsrock]Looking for a travel mate/buddy for Colombia or Peru in August. Im young (22 years old) speak fluent spanish. Anyone interested let me know[/QUOTE]I will be in CTG next week - will you be around?
Will be in Medellin from aug 21-31 looking for a wingman. will be staying at a house 2 min walk from the tesori mall. I'm 35 and a non drinker (pu**y is my only vice) anybody up for exploring or hitting the casas let me know.
Sorry, didn't realized I didn't have PM capability. Now I do. Am in Bogota for the next few months, definitely would like to meet up with folks to monger as I'm not as experienced as the Senior Members on this board. PM me!
ANOTHER thing I am thinking about - I am thinking of renting a 2BR apartment, very nice and posh near Parque 93 and Zona Rosa. If anyone is thinking about coming to stay in Bogota for a longer period of time (e.g., 2-3 wks) and is interested in staying with me (would be much cheaper and nicer than a hotel and in the best areas and I wouldn't mind the company) please feel free to PM me as well.
Will be in bogota from August 22 to Sep. 1. Im 20 and my buddy is probably coming Tuesday 26. Im 20 hes 24, and Its our first trip here so if you have any tips to help us or are interested in mongering pm me.
Myself and a buddy will be in Cali for Feria de Cali this year. Arriving on Xmas day and departing on Jan 3rd. I have only visited Cali once before for a short period but I was with a novia and had no chance to pursue extracurricular activities.
Would love to share a cerveza or three with any of the Cali regs who may be visiting at this time as well. Also if anyone has any useful info regarding the Cali scene would love to hear it. I have spent too much time in Medellin the last 16 months and need a new city.

Hello crew,
I have been lurking for a while and just about ready to plan my first trip to Colombia. I was just wondering if any of you travelers know the best (and cheapest) way to get to Medellin from Florida. I have tried several searches, but have not found anything good.

Hey guys!
I will be in MDE early October and late November with some of my friends. If any of you guys want to meet up for a beer or cold water (I don't drink while out) and compare notes on casas and maybe discover some new ones since there seems to always be some new ones to find let me know.
I will have a report on Frank's place and another advertised place both of which have no reports here that I can find. I am also working on securing an apartment for my November trip unless the Castillo is still having their special which would be a clincher for me! I will have a spot in Centro for a few days as a casa pit stop since they are so cheap. Between the two trips, I hope to have some new information to offer you guys reading the Medellin threads.
Fell free to PM me with any comments or suggestions guys.

Hello,
QUESTION: I was thinking about flying into Quito, traveling by bus to Medellin and/or Cartagena, and then flying home from there. Is this advisable or should I spend the entire trip in Colombia? With the recently rising value of the dollar, where do I get more "bang for my buck"? Should I consider visiting Cali too?
ABOUT ME: I've mongered in Brazil, Europe, China and Philippines but not in other parts of South America. (I once visited Argentina and Uruguay on a non-mongering trip with a European GF.) I speak some Portuguese but not Spanish. Having enjoyed the company of Paisa's in Spain and Canada, I've often dreamed of mongering in Colombia and other South American countries. With luck, I'll be able to do so for 2-3 weeks in late November. I'm young-looking and reasonably attractive for my age (mid-50's, 5'6", white) and I prefer petite women (5'2" or less is great) of any race with a slim-to-medium build and sparkling eyes/attitude/smile.
Thanks!

Apologies for the language but you're not the first person to suggest this and whilst others might disagree I think its madness brought on by lack of even the most basic research. Or maybe the lack of decent education in our schools.
Stay in Ecuador. Or fly between islands of comparative safety in Colombia. But do your research or you'll become another statistic.

I'll be shooting down to Cartagena for a couple of weeks on the 23rd of Oct. This will be my 6th visit to the city and I'd be happy to share a beer or a bourbon along with a few stories/info with a fellow monger or two. I always stay at Mirador del Laguito and would enjoy havin' a couple cold ones at what Tom33 and Jim call their office in front of Playa Mar.
I expect that my PM feature will start working in the next week or so---I sent the subscription fee (plus handling charge) by mail instead of paying with credit card.
Just let me know, and I'll send a PM when activated.

Stay in Ecuador. Or fly between islands of comparative safety in Colombia. But do your research or you'll become another statistic.[/QUOTE]Dear AddictedToWomen and LuckyEddie,
Thanks for your concerns. I am inspired in part by Tungurahua's travels along this same route (only this past summer) as reported here; see "Reports of Distinction". In one of his fine posts, he comments on the issue of safety in Colombia and points out that it has 6x the murder rate of the US. Specifically, Colombia had 35 murders per 100,000 in 2007 (down from about 66 murders per 100,000 in 2002) while the US had 5.7 murders per 100,000 in 2007.
By comparison, Brazil currently has 24 murders per 100,000 and Ecuador currently has about 18 murders per 100,000...
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_murder_rate[/url]
I've felt safe enough during my solo travels along Brazil's coast (excluding Sao Paulo but including Rio, Salvador, Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, and Recife among other cities) and would not hesitate to return. Further, I spoke no Portuguese on my initial solo trip which started in Recife (and Recife now has one of the highest murder rates in all Brazil). Maybe I was just lucky.
[url]http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1072.html[/url]
That said, I appreciate your cautions and will do more research on safety issues before committing to a schedule... if I do end up traveling overland by bus (and not flying, as you recommend) I will exercise caution and try not to be a target.
[url]http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1090.html[/url]
So, supposing I fly between cities, any other suggestions?
I didn't expect to come back to medellin so soon but recent internet prospects and a cheap centro scene got me thinking. I am willing to give it another shot.
If I can land at least one or two of these internet girls it could turn my trip into a whole other experience.
If anyone is around please let me know. If I can help anyone please let me know. I was just there in june with the mighty "tung" for 18 days. He trained me well.
I look forward to it.
I'm in Cartagena first time Nov 27- Dec 4. Looking for a week with the chica's. I speak a little spanish so it will be an experience.
I've been to CR, SXM, Aruba, Curacao and Thailand. I always have a great time so I don't expect this to be any different.
-Anyone in CTG same time send me a PM!

[QUOTE=UrbanWildlife]Nothing even close that I know of.[/QUOTE]Is there much Non-Pro action in San Andreas---any clubs or MP in town?
Where's best to go?
I were in Cartagena two weeks ago.
The bests place for me are:
1. Dolce Vita (casino in Bocagrande). Is a bar but the pro are there. You can choise and then go your hotel. Price U$80. $140. No more.
2. Candela (tower) is a place same like Dolce. But the girls less atractive.
3. Playboy I did nt like.
The girls are expecting if yiu wants to stay a long time.
Good trip

Looking for leads as far as hotels and the best places to hit. We are young americans working in Manta, Ecudador. Currently, plane tickets are cheap from Quito, so we decided to see what in Columbia. We wanted to go to Cali, but the plane tickets were almost triple. Anyone willing to show the ropes to 2 early 30's males? We are also willing to show folks around Manta, Guyaquil, or Quito when you come into Ecuador. PM me.

PM me for details.
Hey friends,
Action is pretty good here----picked up a couple of 8-9 at the three main clubs on the Island. Prices reasonable at $30 for half h and $50 for hour or $120 for whole night. Very satisfied. Will post excellent pics when I return home.
Cheers all.
Hello,
First time to Colombia and second time in S.A. Peru last year for 7 weeks!
Also new to this list and have gathered some useful info on this site.
Flying in from SFO this week and wanted to say I'm bringing the digicams and plan to lay waste in Bogota. Stay tuned for more as it unfolds. Have a few chicas lined up already before I even hit the ground!
I am spanish speaking gringo with quite a bit of travel experience in Colombia. Will be entertaining new and legacy girls throughout the tour. Post or send me a PM if you want to meet up. This trip includes Barranquilla, Cali, Tulua, Palmira, Armenia, Cartago, and Pereira.
Who will be in Cartagena around Nov 13- 21
Will be in Bogota next week.
If anyone is around...but only for amateur scene.
I'm a new member to the board, will be in Medellin for the first time next week (Nov 9th - 12th), likely staying in a hotel in Laureles. I've been to Bogota before, and though I'm a white 40s American speak Spanish almost like a native. I've done a lot of Latin America, but am looking forward to the paradise that MDE supposedly is.
There's a ton of information on this board, but I'm still trying to figure out a few things in order to maximize the two days/three nights I have to play. Prices seem cheap enough in Medellin so that I can aim at the higher end (but not what the online prepagos are asking for!)---in other words, I want to be spending my time inside 8s and 9s.
1. What's the best place to find a total hottie GFE for TLN action?
2. Late night Sunday, what's the best place to find a chica to take back to my hotel in Laureles?
3. Among the casas, strip joints, massage places, whatever, what are the places I should focus on for just two days?
Again, I'm trying to strike a balance between the overprices tourist scene and the hardcore street scene (though, hey, a little street action can always be fun).
Finally, if there are any fellow mongers who are going to be around in MDE those dates, let me know.
[QUOTE=AdictoMujeres]I were in Cartagena two weeks ago.
The bests place for me are:
1. Dolce Vita (casino in Bocagrande). Is a bar but the pro are there. You can choise and then go your hotel. Price U$80. $140. No more.
2. Candela (tower) is a place same like Dolce. But the girls less atractive.
3. Playboy I did nt like.
The girls are expecting if yiu wants to stay a long time.
Good trip[/QUOTE]Is that $80-140 USD for TLN?
Thanks,
Hoser
Can't stay away, my 2 buddies headed to MDE 7th through the 10th.
Anyone want to hunt with us, give me a shout.
I will be in CTG from 13-18 Nov. Let me know if any body want to hunt together.
Hi everybody,
I arrive in MDE late tomorrow and will be there until Monday the 10th, at the Hotel Florida. Please let me know if you want to go out and play.
I will go to Cali first time next weekend
When someone want to join me and go out for hunting, write me a PM.
I am fluently speaking spanish
On the other hand: i would appreciate if someone could introduce me in the best places: bar, discos and chongos.
See yo,
SR
I want to make it a great trip and plan to be playing every day/night for two weeks - until early january. Any help locating 8s and 9s appreciated.
First time to Medeilln, staying at Hotel Florida, good recommendation from ISG members, getting by with my High School spanish, any recommendations on reliable english speaking taxi driver, or tour guide, will be here thru the 18th, appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks

A young fellow and has lived in the states.
Speaks perfect english.
Hi,
I am in Bogota (Santa Fe) 20-25 December.
Someone intrested in groupmongering (my new hobby), or just take a beer let me know.
Cheers,
Buttlover
Myself and two buddies will be in BOG 12/4-12/9. We will be seeing the sites, checking out the prepagos, and meeting non-pros. After travel to the DR, BA and Mexico this will be our 1st Colombian excursion.
Thanks for all the good info. On the board!
Hi there, my second time in MDE. Am here for about a week. Anyone who wants to hook up for some drinks or hit some strip clubs let me know.
HF
Will be in Barrannquilla from Dec. 25 to Jan 1. I'm 27, from NYC, and speak somewhat fluent Spanish. Let me know if you want to hook up and get some drinks, just shoot me an email.
What city are you talking about?
My buddy is going to start in Bogota again. March that is.
What new info do you have? I will try to check all the places out when I get there, but I will need your help.
I have a year's experience in Colombia, know the country well and have an apartment that I own in Medellin.
I will be in Medellin next on the 13th of January, and don't return to the states for a month. I don't plan on staying only in Medellin.
I go every month to Medellin, and am looking for a wingman, or would feel equally comfortable as a wingman. I speak adequate spanish and know the territory well.
If you have interest, PM me.
Thanks,
Michael
Mongers,
I will be arriving in Cali on Tuesday January 13 and will be departing on Sunday, January 18th. This will be my first time in Cali, although I have been in Medellin twice in the past year and I live in Buenos Aires full time. I am in my mid 20s and fluent in Spanish so anybody that wants to meet up for some nighttime pro/non-pro action send me a PM.
Suerte,
Rock Harders

Are you going to Cartagena and want to know if its best to fly or the best way to fly?
If you are going to Cartagena I would say the best way is to fly. By land it will take about 14 hours no to mention that it would be through very curvy roads over the mountains.
As to best flights, take a look at aero-republica, avianca, and aires websites and see what are the best rates for the days you are planning on going. However, they might be quite expensive for the next few days.

My first trip to Colombia, I'll be in Medellin for 5 nights, Wednesday January 14 to Monday january 19, staying in Laureles.
If anyone wants to show me around, and hang out, I'd appreciate the company. I've done the same for guys in Panama.
I've printed the maps of Centro to hit the casas during the day. I'd like to hit some nice bars/casinos at night.
I'll be on Bogota for the week. Anyone around, drop me a note, right now I'm flying solo.
Looks like I'll be spending a few nights in Santa Marta or Rodadero in Feb. Probably arrive on the 7th or 8th. While I have 8 trips to Cartagena under my belt, this will be my first visit to Santa Marta/Rodadero. I've posted an inquir on the Santa Marta thread further down on the main page of the Colombia Forum. Should anybody be in the area during that time or should anyone have any helpful information to pass on, I'd very much enjoy exchanging posts on the Santa Marta thread or through private messaging.
Thanks!
Hey
Fun loving Scottish guy in mid-20s landing in Bogata. Excellent Salsa dancer too!
Tempted to head to Cali then up to north by the beaches. No definite plans yet though.
Would love to meet up with some of you guys and try out the local talent.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Jan 30th through Feb 2nd.
Cartagena, February 6th through February 9th.
Bangkok and Phuket,Thailand, February 11th through March 8th.
I arrive in Medellin the 24th for one week, then the 31st, travel to Bogota for my God Daughters birthday celebration.
If anyone is around for a cold brew, just send me a message.
First time in Medellin, 5th time in Bogota but this time, very very little work and 95% Par-Tay time.
Well, it's been a few months, I've been running around Brasil quite a bit and a little Argentina too.
Looking forward to my return to Colombia this coming week.
A little Cali and a little Medellin.
I'll have to switch gears from the Samba to Salsa and from Portuguese to Espanol, but hey, I think I can handle it :)
Take care amigos!
After a 6 month hiatus enjoying the German FKKs of Hesse and NRW, I will be going back to Medellin in 2 weeks due to the favorable exchange rates. Hopefully will be able to find girls who do anal, CIMs and BBBJs at the Mansion and other places, just like the girls in Europe.
I will be in Cartagena from March 3 to Mar 8.
Looking for people that know Cartagena...This will be my first time to Colombia..

Will be in Colombia from approximately March 25th to April 15th. Plan on starting in Cali. I was in Colombia in 2007, but traveling almost extensively with my then girlfriend. This time will be traveling alone, so looking for like-minded individuals.
Early 30s, decent Spanish, and have experience traveling in Cartagena, Santa Marta, Bogota, Cali, Medellin, etc. Not a lot of mongering experience in those cities, with the exception of Bogota.
Thx!
I've been to Colombia a few times, but never during Lent (40 days preceding Easter). Any idea if it affects the Colombian scene (pro or amateur), or makes locals go out less or whatever?
Practicing Catholics usually give up something during Lent.
Wondering specifically about Medellin and Cali.

Since Lent is not officially over until Easter Sunday, my guess is that the earlier part of Lent isn't taken very seriously either.
I am going to Cali for three weeks from late-April to mid-May, and I have connecting flights in Madrid and Bogota. My question is, from your experience, how much transfer time should I allow for when switching planes in Bogota?
I am in the process of booking my flight and basically I can chose anywhere from between an hour and a half up to 4 hours from arrival in Bogota to departure for Cali.
Thanks a lot :)

If you fly via the US (maybe just on Avianca?) there's a new fast-path connection service, but check the websites to see if that applies ex-Madrid.

I go through Bogota every month and won't book a flight that doesn't have at least two hours between flights.
Thanks for all the responses. As this is my first trip to Colombia I was just wondering if I would face some Tel Aviv-ish security measures, Colombia being a major drug country and all.
Thanks a lot :)

Thanks a lot :)[/QUOTE]Upon leaving CTG and even more so in Cali expect your bags to be checked many times. In Cali They use drug dogs and if they do not like your looks they will make you submit to a stomach x-ray. IMHO a person would have to be nuts to try and smuggle anything out of Colombia.

[QUOTE=Viking30]Thanks for all the responses. As this is my first trip to Colombia I was just wondering if I would face some Tel Aviv-ish security measures, Colombia being a major drug country and all.
Thanks a lot :)[/QUOTE]The only time I have been strip searched was arriving in CTG on a late delayed flight and the airport was empty. I was literally the last person off the plane and had gone through what I thought was the last of their bag checks when one of the policia's noticed my then 20 yr. Old "novia" standing all alone waiting for me all hot looking and dressed to kill. He must of been jealous because next thing I know it he's dragging me off to the private search area and I was stripped down to my birthday suit. Last laugh was on him though because when they got through with me I still got to go to my hotel with a girl 25 years younger than me for some awesome sex!
I no longer have a chica meet me at the airport no matter what city I fly into, I don't want the added attention and/or scrutiny.
Anyone recommend any places there? Food, bars, Clubs, Amps?
I leave thursday to sunday 300 cash should be enough?
Will pop through Medellin from March 3-6 if anyone would like to hook up for a brew and shoot the breeze. I live in AC Philippines.
Me and my buddy will be spending a few weeks in Colombia starting on March 3 (2nd time around).
We'll be in Bogota from Tues. to Friday (staying in Zona Rosa). Then Medellin from Sat. to Wed. March 11.
If anybody would like to get together and have a beer at the Bogota Beer Company or someplace in Medellin drop me a PM.
After Medellin we're going to Cartagena. Chao
Guy,
I speak fairly good spanish and am looking to meet someone to do some clubbing and exploring together. I post frequently on the ArgentinaPrivate site. I'll buy the first round and welcome newbies to expat. Somethings are safer and more fun to do with a wingman than alone.
This is my first time in Bquilla. I'm renting an aprt near el Prado mall. PM me with contact info. I leave thursday morning.
Bob
I'll be in Bogota from March 16-19 (Mon-Thurs).
I'm a gringo that speaks fluent Spanish and am looking for a buddy or two to hit the casas with. PM me if you have interest, as there's safety in numbers.
I will be heading to Bogota on 3/23 for a few days.
Can anyone recomend me a good, clean hotel that is not too expensive?? Everywhere I look they're over $100.
I would settle for an apt or apt/hotel also.
Anyone that has gone to Bogota and can recomend a good place to stay in I would greatly appreciate.
Thanx!
Planning my first trip to Cartagena on the above dates, but can be somewhat flexible if anyone else wants to meet up for a beer. I've been to PTY a few times, but first time venturing into Colombia after feeling comfortable that my Spanish can get me by.

For those interested, I will be in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, on April 2nd, and then will be in Cartagena on April 16th.

Staying at MM, hope to get a chance to see Parcero's place, last trip we didn't communicate very well.
I expect to spend 5-6 weeks each year in Medellin, I need a more affordable alternative to always staying at the MM, which I would like to do from time to time.
Let me introduce myself first.
I am Korean living in korea right now.
Few weeks ago I met this ecuadorian kid (he is in military). We became pretty close I guess. And chatted for quite long.
Among all the things we talked about. There was this prostitution industries we discussed. He told me lot of things about south america (mainly ecuador), especially guayaquil where he is from.
I have been enjoying korean prostitution system (massage and karaokes etc) however ecuador really sounded like a paradise to me. Really wanting to go. Haha.
So I am planning a trip with my friend (also korean) to south america. So here I am. Posting questions on this forum
1. Is columbia considered to be dangerous for asians? (two asian men walking on a street on daytime would be fine iguess? What about at night time? )
2. Would chicas (haha I learned this) be afraid? Skeptical? Unwilling? To deal with pure asians like us?
3. How much do we need for each person if we wanted to enjoy our trip (of course sexually) for two weeks. (1~2 event everyday. Variety of events from cheap to luxury)
4. I really want to try orgy (not really available in korea). Ecuadorian kid told me about inviting like 4 7 chicas from some kind of club to our hotel suite and have orgy-like party overnight. How much would this kind of event will cost?
5. Assuming flight costs are the same among south american countries from korea, any better places? (Argentina looks like great place too) you know like quality of girls. Bang for the buck.
Looking forward to get quality answers. THANKS!
PS anyone planning to visit korea. I will be able to answer most of the questions.

[QUOTE=Idwib]Let me introduce myself first.
I am Korean living in korea right now.
Few weeks ago I met this ecuadorian kid (he is in military). We became pretty close I guess. And chatted for quite long.
Among all the things we talked about. There was this prostitution industries we discussed. He told me lot of things about south america (mainly ecuador), especially guayaquil where he is from.
I have been enjoying korean prostitution system (massage and karaokes etc) however ecuador really sounded like a paradise to me. Really wanting to go. Haha.
So I am planning a trip with my friend (also korean) to south america. So here I am. Posting questions on this forum
1. Is columbia considered to be dangerous for asians? (two asian men walking on a street on daytime would be fine iguess? What about at night time? )
2. Would chicas (haha I learned this) be afraid? Skeptical? Unwilling? To deal with pure asians like us?
3. How much do we need for each person if we wanted to enjoy our trip (of course sexually) for two weeks. (1~2 event everyday. Variety of events from cheap to luxury)
4. I really want to try orgy (not really available in korea). Ecuadorian kid told me about inviting like 4 7 chicas from some kind of club to our hotel suite and have orgy-like party overnight. How much would this kind of event will cost?
5. Assuming flight costs are the same among south american countries from korea, any better places? (Argentina looks like great place too) you know like quality of girls. Bang for the buck.
Looking forward to get quality answers. THANKS!
PS anyone planning to visit korea. I will be able to answer most of the questions.[/QUOTE]LOL I am Korean myself. I've traveled most of major mongering destination in South America except for Colombia and Venezuela.
I plan to visit Medellin for 1 week during 1st two weeks of June.
1. From what I read, the city doesn't seem to be more dangerous than other Latin American cities I've traveled. Basically you will stand out as much as or even more than black and white people. I would say stay away from shady area (dark, night) and stay in group to avoid trouble in any Latin American cities.
2. No. Money is money and that is what drives them unless you look really attractive or repulsive. Good looks+ good negotiation skill = less cost or more service.
3. depends on the place you stay and what you eat and who/where you get girl.
People tend to go over budget very frequently. My maximum budget I set for myself is $100/day which include hotel, food, girl. I am sure you can get a day taken care with $50 including food, hotel, sex. Only reason I set mine at $100 is because I tend to do 3-5 girls a day and I plan on 2-3 girls minimum per day basis.
4. no idea. I am sure you can arrange it if you speak enough spanish. From my experience 2 girls cost less per girl than 1 girl alone. For example 1 girl who would normally cost 80-100 in SJO,CR can cost 150 or less for two.
5. This answer will depend strictly on your sex style. If you want more GFE, Rio, Paraguay, Buenos Aires, Sosua would be on top part of my list while more quantity and less gfe quick bang and leave- Ecuador, Peru, would be on top part of my list.
Bottom line, Best bang for the buck with GFE- Asuncion, Paraguay($25 can get u pretty, young and willing girl for 1hr) and best bang for the buck with out GFE- Ecuador(good quality pussy can be had for $6-$8 mostly 10-15 min)

I will be in Cali from this Friday and stay for about three weeks. I have more than overbooked my schedule with regular girls from various social sites but obviously also plan on doing a lot of casas, clubs etc. Also I will be doing some quick yours of nearby cities like Palmira, Buga, Jamundi and a bit further north to Manizales where a smoking hot 20-year old is imaptiently waiting to see me I speak Spanish although it needs a bit brushing up since I really haven't used it since I graduated nine years ago.
Would be happy to meet up with fellow mongers in town.
I will be at the Plaza may 7-13th if you're still there.
I arrive in Medellin May 2.
[QUOTE=Dw1987]I will be at the Plaza may 7-13th if you're still there.[/QUOTE]I will still be there, although staying in my own apartment.

Hi Everyone,
Lately I'm getting sick and tired of immigration officers at JFK and Newark. They harass lots of tourists from Colombia. I'm clean and always dress nicely. But it's getting nasty these days. I wonder if other immigrations like Miami would be any different. Does anyone know about this?

I will be in Bogota 9-13 of May, then Cartagena for about a week, then who knows. First time in Colombia but years of experience in south america and eastern europe.
A Wingman, epsecially in Bogota, would be a great asset. PM if you are around during the same dates.

Kick123,
Miami is no better. I took a lot of crap myself for coming from Colombia. The guy who questioned me and looked through my suitcases asked me all sorts of ridiculous questions like who did you go there with? What are their names? What are their ages? Who did you see there? I have nothing to hide and hate that kind of treatment by authority figures anyway so I told the guy to f**k off. He then left with my passport for a good 20 minutes, don't know what he did with it. My cellphone rang in the meantime and the supervisor said no cellphones allowed in here. I told him to f**k off too. My interagator eventually came back and gave me my passport and I left. The whole process took a good 45 minutes at least. The only thing I regret is not spitting in the guy's face. Serious assholes they were.

Miami and Atlanta seem a bit better, but maybe somewhere less traveled like Houston would be better still?
The best plan of all of course is to avoid flying through the US with its antiquated systems wherever possible.

I have been through MIA a million times, my passport has so many stamps from Colombian immigration I have had to have extra pages added to it and the only thing the USA Guys say to me is "welcome home".

I'm coming to Medellin by way of Jose Maria Cordoba Airport (MDE) on June 3 and was wondering how much & how long it would be to fly from that airport to Aeropuerto Olaya Herrera, the airport right in Medellin.
Rtff & there doesn't seem to be any info specifically about that.
I suspect it's not really worth the hassle, I should just jump in a taxi, right?

That sucks that they ruined your gifts and stuff though.

I've got probably 15 Colombia trips under my belt. I would not mind meeting up with someone cool during my time there.

You never know if you fit a profile of someone specific they were looking for (not to be confused with blanket profiling of a race or ethnic group). If you attempt to get violent or even non-compliant, there is no question...YOU will get your ass beat, shot, and/or put in jail. In my opinion, not even worth it; especially when you can make up answers. Its not like they're asking if you have a 2 inch dick and how long can you hang in bed! Customs can be frustrating for all of us (I for one, hate walking damn near a mile from the gate where I deplane to the Immigration desks at MIA). Would hate to lose a fellow mongerer to some misplaced and INEFFECTIVE machismo...hobby safe!

Just booked a Spirit Airlines flight from MIA to Medellin for $159. This will be my first time on Spirit and I was just wondering if there were any issues, nuances, problems that I should expect. I was surprised to see that they wanted me to pay for my seat selection, which I thought was a little much. Wondering if they have a tendency toward losing baggage or not.

Mini,
When are you going?
I have flown Spirit to many locations (never Colombia) and their scheduling/delays sometimes suck. But as long as you get their roughly the recommended 2 hrs ahead you will have no problems.
Just bring carry-on. It's free. They will assign you a free seat when you check-in, no worries.

Hey Papa;
Still trying to resist what would be my first trip down there.I was thinking about maybe early August, as these $400 round trip tickets can't be resisted much longer. I was also mulling over either staying at the Mansion or some place similar.being your 5th time, would you still say that's the best bet?
Also in my upper 20s, horrible Spanish (that's why I'm planning out; to give myself plenty of time to brush up with Rosetta stone), but am ready to start making some of these travel dreams happen.
Anyhoo, might hit you back up to see if you're still looking for a wingman.

Just booked a Spirit Airlines flight from MIA to Medellin for $159. This will be my first time on Spirit and I was just wondering if there were any issues, nuances, problems that I should expect. I was surprised to see that they wanted me to pay for my seat selection, which I thought was a little much. Wondering if they have a tendency toward losing baggage or not.
Thanks,
Rodeo[/QUOTE]Spirit Airlines Rules as far as Cheap tickets, everything else is ghetto. You will have to pay for Luggage, however I carry on luggage all the time. No snacks or refreshments, but I always buy combos and soda, to give them some extra profit dollars. Make sure you get to the gate early, and paying for your seats is OPTIONAL and I would only do it for Domestic flights since they will allow you to print your boarding pass, and skip the front desk and go straight to boarding. If you live in the South Florida area, you should be a Spirit Junkee like myself. I have heard many horror stories of lost luggage with people With connecting flights, but personally I have never had any MAJOR problems with spirit.
Anyone around in Bogota for the next 2 weeks?
Need a wingman.
Flown on Spirit 4 times Ctg. Don't pay for seat. I am surprised they never lost my baggage with 45.30 minute connections. They do tend to hold planes if plane comes in a little late which if its you connecting and running late. Airport in Fll so small only takes couple minutes. Don't forget to hit duty free shop on way south for Rum or Vodka dirt cheap for entertaining a little.
Hey guys!
I will be in Colombia from 19th of july to august 1st.
I will visit Bogota, Bucamaranga and Medellin.
Any tips?
This is my first time in Colombia, but at least I am not new in the monger game.... :-)
Anyway, I will stay safe of course.

I'll be arriving in Medellin on Thursday (June 18) and staying for 2 weeks. My hotel is in El Centro.
If anybody would like to get together and have a beer and talk chica strategy, they can drop me a PM.
This will be my 3rd trip to Colombia. I know the general geography of Medellin.

K[/QUOTE]I hope you meant to say that you HOPE to stay safe,because there is no "staying safe " in any third world country,and certainly not in Colombia
Manizales,
Indeed, that is what I meant.
I was also interested, perhaps, in finding more general guidelines for the newbie in Colombia. Other than the obvious rule of "staying safe". Although this is probably worth repeating.

If you are in the los angeles area during this time...
there is a Colombia Festival on July 19 2009 At the Pico Rivera Sports Arena

Hi folks,
Will be in town for a few weeks in July. It's not my first trip. Could some kind sole (a regular on the Colombia thread probably) suggest some good strip/lap clubs. I did read some reports a year or so back, but can't find them.
Thanks in advance.
Also does anyone know a farmacia where you can buy generic viagra over the counter, such as Biofort-M (from Argentina and can recommend FWIW).
Finally I don't suppose there is a 24 hour internet or wifi place in town.
Will be there around 9 July if anyone wants to meet.
A week from now, I will leave for two months in the Cleavage Capital. In other words, I will spend the months of July and August in Colombia. I will begin in Medellin and then move on to Pereira, Manizales and Cali.
I am interested in meeting any pussy-focused Gringos who want a wingman. I am as fluent in Spanish as any non-Hispanic I have met in Latin America. I have spent somewhere between two years and three years of travel in Latin America. I have spent those years of travel in Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba and Peru. I also have lived for many years in Miami and Orlando. This does not make me an expert on anything, but it does mean I can separate shit from Shinola.
That's what I bring to the table as a wingman. What three requirements do you need to bring to the table as a wingman? First, you need to be pussy-focused. "Pussy-focused" means you are willing to meet and interact with non-prostitutes. The social contexts for meeting and interacting with non-prostitutes can vary based on your personal preferences.
Second, you need to be pussy-focused. Note that "pussy-focused" does not mean holding your hand as we visit brothels together. I have nothing against brothels. There is a time and place for brothels. However, brothels are not my priority and I don't need a wingman to visit brothels. I can shoot caged lions on my own.
Third, you need to be pussy-focused. That's it. That's all.
I am currently in Cali until the 8th of July, at which point I will be in Medellin until 14th of July. Let me know if you want to be a wingman.
My stats/ I can tell u I do very well with the ladies on and off a dance floor in both english and spanish.
Peace out

I am staying at Robert's apartment in Poblado for at least the month of July so please call me there. Alternatively, you can send me a PM here on the forum with your contact info in Medellin, but I only check this forum sporadically while in Colombia.
I also may stay in Medellin for the month of August instead of going to Cali.
For any other pussy-focused Gringos in Medellin right now, I will be at Babylon tonight because Thursday is "ladies night" there. According to some Colombian women, I sort of look like Zinedine Zidane. LOL. That's the best description I can give you. Tomorrow night, I probably will be at El Blue near Parque Lleras. El Blue is the easiest place in Poblado to meet Paisas.
Hey all,
I will be taking my 3rd trip to Colombia. I been to Medellin and Bogota already.
I will be going to Cali Colombia on Sept 2-6th. I will be staying at the Cali castle!
PM if you are going around that time. I will be going with another friend of mine.
Cheers!
I'll be in Medellin (first time) from July 23 to August 3, If any want to go out or help this soul contact me!
Victor!
I will be in BOG this weekend.
Still in Medellin!
I'm visiting Colombia from the 30th July to the 15th August 2009, and would like to meet other travelers, travel companions or wings there, for sharing info, meeting-up for a bier, and maybe going out to pick up free girls together.
I speak perfect Spanish, english, catalan, some french, some german, and look forward to hearing from you travelers visiting or staying in Colombia at the same time.

[QUOTE=Catalonian]I'm visiting Colombia from the 30th July to the 15th
Just joinerd and ready to jump right in!
I arrive in Medellin Aug 11. I'll be looking for guys with similar intentions.
An enhanced Paisa experience! And see the sights and maybe do a little traveling.
My accomodations are open. I have seen some pretty gorgeous short term apartments available which I imagine would be more conducive for hooking up for free.
I'm looking forward to an amazing time! I can get by fine with my basic Spanish and have little trouble meeting females.
Let me know if intersted in meeting up.
I will be at Holiday Inn Felix chasing girls for 6 days.
If someone needs wingman been there 5xs
I am a middle aged American planning to visit Colombia for the first time for three weeks this Fall. I am especially interested in visiting Cartagena, but can also go to other places on the Caribbean side. I do not like to travel alone and was hoping to meet with other travelers. I can try to schedule my vacation dates so that I can meet with others, as long as it is in October or November. I like mongering, discos, beaches, tourist sites etc. Please contact me if interested.
I'll be at the mansion this sat, sun...then again the following fri, sat, sun for a blowout time.
Anyone wanting to meet up for a beer & chica hunt, pm me.
cheers
In Medellin right now for the feria de las Flores. If anyone wants to meet, PM, but exclusively to explore the non pro scene.
I will be back in Medallo starting 9/1. I am familer with all the Hotels & great spots to meet awsome chicas. Can help you with all that is Medellin.
Pm for more info
I will be arriving from guayaquil ecuador then going back to guayaquil to catch my return flight to NYC. Thats just the way it worked out.
I've been to Medellin twice. I consider myself an "el centro" guy more than anything else.
My question to all of you is:
*Can you find a good city map of Cali when you get there? There are several online but you can't print them out. I could buy a travel book but I only need the map!
I hear mixed reviews about Cali but at least I am not spending 22 days on the ecuador coast.
Let me know if anyone is around for dinner or drinks. I usually monger solo.

I'm going to be visiting Cartagena with 4 of my buddies in the beginning of Sept. I'm guessing it rains a bit during that time. Does that keep the chicas away or does it not really matter?

They are more probably worried as well that the rain would keep you away from them.
Check the tides at that time.
My buddy and I were there and the tides were so high that there was flooding everywhere. Just after we left it rained. You would need a boat to get into El Centro.

I am in Bogota until August 23 if anyone needs a wingman. Been to this city many times so I know my way around.
I will be in Santa Marta Sept. 16-20, then Bogota Sept. 20-25 before heading off to Lima. Let me know if anyone is going to be around and I'll buy you a drink.
I am in Bogota right now if anybody wants to hook up with me pm me peace out.
I will be in BAQ on Aug. 31st then on to CTG from Sept. 3rd to Sept. 21st.
PM me if you want to meet up at the beach in the afternoon or LDV at night.
Unfortunately my low back went out on me and I had to cancel my trip. I was supposed to be in ecuador as I write this.
Thank you for the help regardless. I am researching a mexican border town trip starting in Tijuana for October.
Nothing is more painful than knowing a plane has taken off and YOU aren't on it.
So it goes.
Two questions.
Making my maiden voyage to Bogota. I'll be in the area sept 8-16. Anyone else around that'd like to grab a beer or something?
Also I was just about my money cheat sheet. Anyone know which currency converter is the most up to date/accurate? Oanda shows 1:2022. xe has it at 2029. yet Yahoo has it 2044.

I went to Medellin for the first time this past March I had a great time but I was traveling alone and was not familiar with this site. So I did not go to Mayorista, or any of the casas. I used a website, they overcharged me and the girls did not do everything they said they would do.
I will be in Medellin on Sept 29 and will be staying near the stadium metro station. If someone who knows Medellin well may want to share a beer with me respond with a PM. Then I will be going to Bucaramanga then to Venezuela.
Thank you.

I'll be arriving in Medellin, Colombia in 2 weeks from now. I know this is the rainy season. I would like to go to places like Santa Fe de Antioquia, Guatape, Rio Claro etc. By bus.
My question is: are the buses able to get through to these places in the rainy season? Do the roads wash out or not?
Thanks for any info.

Thanks 'Full Service' for the weather update on the rain situation. Its hard to tell by looking on the internet weather reports. But I'm glad to hear that I wont have much problem getting through to these places on the bus.

I decided to get an early jump on holiday plans this year. I found a non stop RT ticket from NYC on avianca for $517 all inclusive. The flights are at odd hours but "Nonstop" is the key word. No problems on my end.
This trip is very simple. I will be in medelllin for a week then I will go by bus to Cali and see what that is all about before my return to MDE.
At least I will have this incentive to get through the tedious holiday (payouts) season.
Chimba!
I have plans to go to Cali for two weeks starting Dec 7.
If anyone wants to hang out, pm me
Anyone interested in catching up in between these times. I will be rooting hookers mainly and getting pissed so not much normal touisty stuff also if you are in Bogata or Cali,give us a yell because i wouldn't mind seeing them as well.

i just arrived in medellin, and am staying near park lleras. looking for a fun group to explore and grab drinks around the city.
during the day i enjoy hiking and walking around medellin. mostly tourist stuff and trying to meet new friends. perhaps i will move to medellin in the future, so i am discovering if this city suites me. so i am not much for all day casa hunts (just to let people know.)
at night (around 7:00 pm until 2:00am) i enjoy clubs like mangos and babylon for drinking, dancing, and meeting non-pro girls.
late-late night, post-party, i do like to search for professional dates for the evening. i like my apartment and having a girl come over, so i am not adverse to tnl. i believe this summary gives everyone a good idea. i'd say i fit somewhere between a non-pro hunter and a monger (i have nothing against either). just more the type to prefer quality over quantity, and am not a bargain hunter. maybe loutrons and such are more my speed? but that being said, please understand i know nothing about medellin. thus, just looking for some good guys in the same boat. sound good?
maybe meet for drinks at park lleras and go from there? will be at mangos later.
thanks everyone!

Good luck and have fun.
Friends, mongers, countrymen,
I will be swooping into Bogota next week-on a business trip, so I'm afraid I cannot partake of the daytime mongering scene, but am absolutely set on seeing some of the nighttime action. My base of operations is the Sheraton, on Av. Eldorado-not the wisest the choice for mongering pursuits, I imagine (in my defense, I did not make the arrangements myself!).
My Spanish ability is solid, and I am willing to be adventurous-I have a fair bit of experience negotiating large Latin American cities and have loved every minute of it.! I've been to Bogota a couple of times, but only VERY briefly-this is my first opportunity to spend some actual, quality time there.
If any of you are around and willing to hang out, please shoot me a PM.
Cheers,
Henry

thanks everyone![/quote]sounds like you have a good idea of what you want to do. babylon on thursdays is 15k all you can drink(maybe wends). for casas try blue room and energy, from what i gather from the more informed heads on the board these are the places to hit up for a good value!
keep us posted on what and who you do!
pics are always nice!
[QUOTE=Zeiss]At night (around 7:00 pm until 2:00am) I enjoy clubs like Mangos and Babylon for drinking, dancing, and meeting non-pro girls.[/QUOTE]While it is certainly possible to meet non-pros at both Mangos and Babylon, you need to be aware that both locations have many "prepagos" as well. Both locations are popular with Gringos, and both locations appear in the Lonely Planet guide. No matter where you go in Latin America, you often will find a lot of prostitutes at a dance club if that dance club appears in the Lonely Planet guide for that country.
Mangos is my least favorite spot in Medellin. Babylon is not as good as it used to be because they do not let in as many girls for free as they did in the past.
Once "prepagos" start congregating at a certain dance club, many non-pros will avoid that dance club for fear of the "dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres" stereotyping and stigma.

This is my first time posting. I will be at the Mansion February 25th-28th. First time to Columbia so I'm excited. I've done Costa Rica quite a few times, but ready for something new.

For the guys who have never been to Babylon on Thursdays, be sure to be there at about 9:45 so you can get a good table near tables of unattached chicas. Babylon is wall-to-wall guys by 11:45 so move quickly in meeting chicas there.
I have heard of La Manzana, but I am not sure if I have been there. When the stripclubs in El Centro close, a lot of the chicas head to another place that is open until the morning. Sorry, I cannot remember the name of the place right now because I only went once. It is sort of a rough place, and there are no Gringos there. The waiters in El Centro know the name of the place.
Supposedly there is an "all prepagos" place in Bello, but I never research it because it is so easy to meet women in Bello.
I have visited la manzana and the girls are 4-5 on a scale of 10 and the place is pretty much a dump upstairs be careful lots of thugs.
Just my 2 cents
[QUOTE=Vics Picks]I liked Babylon on Thursday nights. Some of the girls get crazy and dance on the tables. When I was there last spring they let the first 50 girls in free.

I will be in the cleavage capital for two months from mid-February to mid-April.
I will spend at least one month in Medellin, maybe the entire trip.
I have been traveling to Colombia for more than a decade, and I speak fluent Spanish.
If you want a wingman, then send me a PM.
Planning a trip to Medellin on Feb. 11. Used to live in Costa Rica for a short time now back in the US unfortunately. Speak passable Spanish. I have a question. I understand the Mansion is high profile in Medellin these days and not as many girls or parties. Should I try and stay at El Castilllo since it is more laid back and less well known. I want to bring some girls in and maybe party in the city. Any advice would be good. This is first trip to Colombia so am a little nervous.
Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]I have never stayed at the Mansion, but there are plenty of satisfied customers of the Mansion on this forum.
If you are planning on bringing back non-pros, renting your own apartment is worth considering. You can use Paradise Realty or any of the other services.
There are plenty of other options, but try to avoid staying at hotels owned and operated by Colombians. This is the worst option. The unexpected hassles are endless.
If you pay the $20 membership fee here, you can send and receive private messages.
I have booked room 12 at the Mansion from Jan 28th-Feb1st. If anyone wants to hook up pm me. I want to look at the street girl scene, the casa and the clubs, alittle of everything. Speak passable Spanish but not great. By the way, I am from the Big Easy. Go Saints.
Thanks
Is it a good idea to buy some COP at the bank in the US to bring with or not.

Hi. Will be at El Castillo in Medellin with my wingman from Thursday 1/26 to 1/29. Please PM me if you want to hang out!
I will be checking into Frank's My Place in Mayorista tomorrow afternoon.
I will be away from the USA for 66 days and the first 14 of them will be in MDE. I am going to run the rest of the trip on the fly, although I have booked MDE for the last week of this for me epic journey.
I am looking forward to any ISG members in the area who want to hunt with me. Even thoigh I wil be based in Mayorista I hope to leave no stone unturned in the eternal quest for the GFE.

I will be leaving MDE on FEb.15th for parts unknow at this time.
Leaving MDE after 3 weeks at My Place in Mayorista. I had a great time and special thanks to Frank Casio for being on the job even though he is in Tampa right now.
Also thank you to Nubu for pointing out to me that my stay of 66 days would be a problem at my departure from Colombia. Other fellows also helped with right on info on this matter.
I am off now to BAQ, Cali, santa Marta, San Andres and back to MDE.
One thing I haved learned so far. In Colombia MDE rules sexo wise. This can be said even though MDE sorely lacks a LDV type of place. In my next life I will open up one here. LOL.
OK, Gents always remember the name of the game is GFE.

Schwmm[/QUOTE]You are right. The annual fee is around $70, plus it is hard to use the miles they give you. I am most always rejected on the flights I want, and when they do give them to you it would be on a flight they are charging a very low charge anyway. The thing that costs the most are the taxes on the overseas flights. You pay them even on the so called free flights.
Hey guys,
In Colombia, it is best to go! diving and nightlife?
Hi,
I will be in Bogota from the 4th till the 7th and am planning to visit Chicas Milenio and Chicas 2000, based on the recommendation I got from this board. If anyone is around and would like to meet, do send me a note.
Thanks,

Hey guys,
New to the monger scene. I'm from Canada, but in Cartagena until Mar 10. Already have an apt in Bocagrande, but it would be cool to meet up with some people from this board if you happen to be in the area. Can't post my email, so pm me your email or phone num (I bought a local sim card)
In Medellin currently, will be here for 2 months, until April 29. Any residents or fellow posters hit me up to meet for a beer or two.

Hello fellow mongers,

Guys, arrived the other day for a few weeks here. Not my first time, by far.
Anyone want to hook up for a beer and trawl mayorista (tonite for sure around 10pm) and some other sleazy dives? Not particularly into casas persay.
Have just set up the PM thing, not sure how long it takes to activate, then I can PM you my comcel or home contact no's. Horita
Anyone in Bucaramanga? I am here till the 17th of march then back to Medellin for the rest of the week. Flying back to the states on the 21st.
Drop me a line, if your in either town for some fun.
Cheers,
Sky
Hey guys.

Three of us are heading to Med for about a week on April12th. I've been to Arg, Belize, Panama, Honduras and many trips to Havana. My 2 friends are older guys 55 and 60 and don't have too much experience-I speak basic Spanish but they are at the "hola"stage. I'm looking for a nice 3 bedroom apartment and a good english speaking guide to help out mis amigos. Unfortunately the Mansion is full and I was kinda counting on staying there. My fault for not booking earlier.
Thanks in advance

Any younger mongers in this board? I'm 27, south american, but I've been living in the US for the past 10 years. Came to the US to get my college degree, but stayed after I graduated. Since then I've gone on a couple of trips to my native country in South America and enjoyed chica-hunting greatly.
I'm fluent in Spanish, and I'm planning my first trip to Medellin. I've done plenty of research and I think I have enough information to be safe in Medellin.
Right now, the tentative date for my trip to Medellin is April 20th, for 5 days.
I'd like to know if any of you would like to join me, or in the case of experienced travelers in Colombia, would you mind letting me tag along and showing me around?
I think it would be much easier for me going out with guys who already know where the casas and night clubs are. And you gringos might benefit from my Spanish skills.
Please PM me.

Even though you will have a translator guide, it is better to speak more Spanish than "hola". Otherwise your friends' experience with girls will be very limited and not much fun.
Also some girls may take advantage over persons who do not speak little Spanish. You gotta be able to bargain and ask what you want from them in case they try to rip you off.
I'm in Medellin starting on the 14th (next week). Need a room in both cities. Any suggestions? Anyone stayed in the Intercontenantal in Medellin? How about the Radission in Bogota?
Also, how about getting together and toast the ladies?
Looking to meeting you guys..
John
Will be arriving in Cartegana this Tuesday, 4-13, coming from Medellin. If anyone is in town and interested in grabbing a beer and scoping some talent, please PM me. It is my first time in CTG.
Thanks.

What is the rainy season like in Medellin right now? How much rain and what to expect. Will it damen my trip. Will want to do other stuff besides mongering.

I went to CTG in January for the first time. It is great. Not as nature scenic as Costa Rica but the action is much better. I'm currently considering returning on doing a MDE/CTG trip May 2 - May 12.
Anyone going to be down there those dates? My knowledge of the spanish language is very limited. I'm in my early thirties though I look much much younger (or so they lie to me).
I thought I could hold out till June, but alas I will be in MDE from May 10th to June 2nd. A kind of a short trip for me, but if I am not careful I will run smack dab into the 180 day limit they have for travel in Colombia.
Can anyone suggest a good airline to travel from DFW to Bogota (or Medellin)...or Cali :) First time out of DFW and am not familiar with the cheapest options. Thanks!

Rodeo[/QUOTE]I live in TX. The best way is to fly American to MIA. You can fly direct to BOG, MDE or CLO from there. Both MIA and DFW are American hubs. Another option is to take a cheap flight down to to Houston (IAH not HOU) and you can fly Continental non-stop to BOG.
Check Copa. Transfer in PPY but nice flight AA is OK but TX. MIA. Colombia is a long route.
Copa is good, don't pay for beer or wine but the only draw back is the music is better on AA; 33 1/3. I usually take which ever is cheaper. My trip for July is AA because it will be $200 saved.

Let me know if anyone else is. Still need apartment also.
If you are an expert in Colombia or other Latin countries, please send me a message.
Or if you want a travel partner, Please contact me.
I speak excellent Spanish
I prefer Novias, or amateurs. I don't like pros. I want to know the ins and outs of Colombia or other countries. I've spent 18 months in Cuba. I'm an expert on Cuba, but I want to go somewhere new.
Please send me an instant message.
PS: Feel free to contact me if you want info on Cuba.
I want to go to Colombia, but I've never been. I need advice from an experienced monger. And/or I seek an experienced travel partner on my first trip to Colombia. I'm no geek. I speak excellent Spanish. I am an expert in all things Cuban, having gone to Cuba 30 times. But I've never been to Colombia.
Please send me a message if you're willing to share your expertise.

Hi,
Any fellow mongers out in Bogota arround this time to do some hunting and casa action, I'll get the beerz.
Have Been in Bogota since Monday -- Here for 2-6 months on business already been to El Castillo and the mez. Let me know if you want to get a beer and check out some places.
I have never been to Medellin but planning trip there sometime between mid July and end of year 2010. Looking for fellow travelers who may also be planning trip during this timeframe (I need at least 4 week notice in advance of planning my travel). Please fee free to PM me to discuss. I have timeshare I can trade for timeshare in Medellin for 7 day stay Sunday to Sunday (but am open to better ideas if there are better living arrangements for mongering). Newbie only to Medellin and Columbia.
Or considering Costa Rica and Lima Peru (have not been here either).
I'm heading to MDE from the 5th-11th of June. I'll be staying at Casa Blanca (former mansion). Hoping to meet up with some cool people, and obviously enjoy the quality that Colombia possesses. Spanish is beginner to intermediate - still needs lots of work, but I'm improving.
Back down to CTG later this coming week 'till the end of the following week. Much of my time spent one-on-one with a non-pro, but will have all day the 10th to hunt, etc., and then in the evenings starting with the 13th. I'm more of the lone wolf type, but shoot me a PM if around as I'd be happy to share any info, make some introductions, etc., to those less familiar with CTG.
Flying to BOG this weekend and cant wait any mongers want to meet up for a beer and some whoring msg.
I'm staying at el Virrey Hotel.

Hi guys -
2nd time visitor to the mansion and Colombia too, looking forward to a great time.
42 yr old New Yorker, fired up for a quick visit with some hot Colombian girls.
Was at the Mansion in Jan 09', but from what i read, seems that things are a bit more tame than in times past.
Anyhow, much prefer the wine-n-dine gfe type than casa tour, wham bam, thank you Mam.
Have taken 'english lessons' in the DR, and at the sportsman's lodge in San Jose, CR, as well as a trip to Panama city. This will be my first trip to a repeat location.
Interested in recent member's visits to Casa Blanca, particularly if they have the perspective of a prior visit when things were (as i've read) much more frat house-like.
My spanish is non-existent, and i have to laugh when i read guy's comments about taking a quick language course or two. You obviously didnt see me struggle painfully through high school french, Finance i can do, languages I'm stuck with what I know!
Anyhow, i too have danced on the stage at Mango's, I'm no wallflower, but would love to hook up with the guys at the Mansion for anvisit one night to Mayorista which I've read is the place to be to try to pick up girls, or at least see me act the idiot by trying in a foreign language.
Also just joined Romance Latina, the premium membership entitles you to many of the girl's numbers, so i doubt we'll have much problem bring some hotties to the pool, that might not otherwise be there.
Rum, girls, sex and bonding- nice. Cant wait for a blast.
45 yr old gringo here.
Have Been in Bogota for a few weeks now. Here for 2-6 months on business already been to El Castillo and the mez. Also found some bargain places.

Far less pros runnung about there.
If anybody wants a wingman, I am back in Medellin for the next two months.
I speak fluent Spanish, and I have spent almost two years of travel in Colombia. I also have another year of travel in other Latin countries (Argentina, Costa Rica, Cuba and Peru).
Go ahead and leave me your contact details by PM.

Going with my wingman to Medellin we are still looking for an apartment with 2 bed rooms near Parque Lleras or El Poblado.
Our dates are July 25 to Aug 10 yeah we are staying for Feria de Flores.
PM a message, If you have an idea or know any good events during those days
beside "Feria de Flores" and "Colombia Moda 2010".
My friend and I speak english and of course fluent spanish.

I stayed at the Mansion past May and going to be there again from Aug. 6-16.
Vic is absolutely right. Don't try to bring a non-pro there. I met a guy there last May who wanted to bring a girl, whom he met in Costa Rica while she was working as a pro. Even she refused to come to the Mansion. In this regard, Mansion is quite infamous.
Having said that, I learned a lot about the Romance Latina site during my Mansion stay. I can almost assure you that most of the girls appear there will not refuse to come to the Mansion.
Bandy
I could not stand it any longer. I tried to wait. I really did, but the lack of fine women in New Jersy has driven me to pull the trigger on another trip.
July 11th to July 31st. I will be staying at My Place or if Frank doesn't have any room then I'll stay at a nearby hotel in Mayorista.
As usual if anyone wants to hunt a little with me then send me a PM.
I'll be making my first trip to Colombia late next week, and am always up for grabbing a drink or hunting for ass with a fellow monger. I'll be in Cartagena from 7/8. 7/13, staying in the Laguito area. My Medellin stop will be from 7/13. 7/17 staying at the mansion.

I'm in Bogota today/tonight and will be in Bogota starting tomorrow (July 9th) for a few weeks.
Anyone around to meet up and go out?
I will be in Bogota in 2 weeks.
Hello friends,
I will be traveling to Medellin from August 5th to August 9th. I'm looking for fellow mongers to hunt some chicas with.
I am colombian fluent in both english and spanish.
First trip, going with wingman.
Staying at Mansion.
I'm not a huge Bogota fan but with the cheapest round trip to there from here and a cute student fresh from Barranquilla waiting for me, away from her family and lonely, that is my start and end point for the 2 weeks.
Bogota July 27 - 28
Cartagena (first time ever) July 29 - Aug 2
Medellin (third visit, staying at CasaBlanca 1) Aug 3 - 6 (and maybe 7th)
Return to Bogota and US Aug 9
Happy to meet up with any one, vets or newbies in the hobby, for a drink and swap stories, I am near-fluent in Spanish having lived in Lima Peru for half a year a few years back. I will have my netbook with me and check for email and PMs daily.
Bogotá: August 13-16
Cartagena: August 17-20
Medellin: August 21-August 28
This is my first trip to Colombia. Anyone who would like join the hunt is welcome. In addition to fishing, I like to do sightseeing as well.
Hello, all,
I have sent some PM's to 3 or 4 members (my thanks to Vic, especially, for his great advice), but I have been advised to put a posting on this thread.
I will start my trip in MDE, and at some point in time would like to venture out into the beautiful countryside. And possibly visit Bogota.
Will anyone be in MDE or BOG during those dates. Hola Mundo has already indicated that he likes fishing-for fish, I presume.
I would like to make this 17-day trip the best vacation I have ever had. I recently told my wife of 18 years to "get the hell out of the house". After I discovered that she was having an affair with a young latino "boy" who is 21 years younger than her. Ouch! (She, BTW, is Japanese. And 20 years younger than me.)
Okay, you've heard my "sob story. " Now, I need to start a new chapter in my life. Any help, or suggestions, would be appreciated.
"Robby Burns"
I will be in Frank's "My Place" in August. Give me call for hang out.

Fellow travelers,
I'll be in MDE for a week plus from Aug. 12th. Third time there and I'll be staying at the Casa Blanca 2. It'll be good to see Greg, et. Al., but I'm always interested in meeting other ISGer's. It's been like 4 years since I was last there so I know I'll be "rusty" on the scene, venues, etc. Anyway, anybody who might be there at this time and want to get together for a beer, BS, or whatever give me a PM back and we can chat. BTW, I do speak some Spanish and I'm a veteran traveler.
Cheers to all.
All,
I'll be in Colombia for the 1st time Aug 5 -15:
Bogota: 5 -8
Medellin: 9-11
Cartagena: 12-15
Looking for budget-minded mongering and people to hang out with.
Thanks,
Ruff
Will be in Medellin from Aug 9-Sept 3.
Staying at both CB1 and CB2 during the stay.
Hopefully run into some of you guys there.
I am a newbie who is interested in sharing a private 2-bedroom apartment that has been offered by another member. (for a fee,of course)
It is overlooking the Park Lleras (Is that how it is spelled? Excuse me if I have it wrong.)
If anyone is interested, please send me a PM.
Hey guys,
I will be in Cartagena with a buddy of mine in late september. If any of you guys like to have beers together let me know.

I just booked MDE from Sept. 5th to Sept. 15. I will have 3 guys with me who are newbees to MDE and 2 of them have never been on a Mongering trip.
Two of them are friends so I will have no problems with them. $262. 70 Rt from ACY. That is best price I ever got to Colombia. Oh yeah almost forgot, Spirit charges now for carry ons so add $40 to that total.
I don't like to go for such a short time but these guys twisted my arm so I gave in. Of course I could of stayed longer but then it would of spoiled the whole group experence.
First time in Colombia I am Peruvian my English is 75% good, I like hunting and mongering.
Thence to Leticia

Oh and have a blast
I'm seasoned I think been to MDE Medellin 8 times. And still love it. I'm travelling with a few dorks but there ok. LOL. One speaks no english. I wouldn't mind hooking up with some fellow mongers who can give me sneak previews of places I've never been.
But that list may be small.
P. M me if your in town.
[QUOTE=Slamcity7777]Spirit is AWFUL! Next thing you know Oxygen will be a charge, seat belt? Charge...crying out loud!
Oh and have a blast[/QUOTE]Be VERY careful with Spirit. Not only do they charge for carry on luggage (don't forget you have to calculate RT!) they also charge you to reserve a seat. The seat charge is $12 for aisle or window, $20 for Exit and $50-$60 for the BIG seat. Again these charges are each way. On the ticket to CTG they wanted $40 for carry on and $40 to reserve exit row seats. That is $80 above and beyond the ticket price. I am 6'5" so there is no way I am going to risk getting an aisle seat.
Caveat emptor.

I thought the same as you, but did the calculations and they are much cheaper than the next competitor. Spirit is NOT for large folks! Probably anyone over 6 feet. The seats are more cramped to fit more people. So if you're small, it doesn't matter where you sit and you SAVE money. Carryons and most of their savings is if you join their $9 fare club ($39.99/year). $20 for carry-ons and $15 for checked luggage (each way).
So doing the calculations... a flight from NY to MDE will save me $170!
Hioctane:
I don't believe I have ever flown Spirit (all the airlines blend together when you fly as much as I do). Thanks for the info about the cramped seating. I did reserve a exit row since I am 6'5". I didn't want to spend the extra $60 RT for the Really big seat (what ever that is). On most airlines the exit row is pretty roomy for the legs. Is that your experience on Spirit or should I suck it up an try to snag the "really big seat"?
Thanks,
Jager

Jager[/QUOTE]My Wingman is 6 foot 4 inches tall and the only way he is comfortable on Spirit is if he gets the seats by the emergency exit doors. Those seats give him enough leg room. As far as the big front seats they give you plenty of room for your arms as they are in rows of two and are very nice if you can afford the extra charge.
I guess I'll just have to find some hottie to give me a three leg massage to get the blood flowing again.
Wingman and I are here now.
Any senior mongers around want to share some drinks pm me?
I am new on ISG but lived for six years in the DR and was active on ****. I will be in Cali for the third time in a week and would welcome anyone who wants to see the sights. I speak Spanish and am generally familiar with the city. Just send a private message with contact information.
I'm traveling solo on my first trip to MDE sept 3 - 8. Could use some tips and guidance on first trip in MDE if anyone's around and free. Send me a PM if you want to meet for drinks and skirt chasing.

In town from the 19th-29th. Throwing a party that Friday the 24th of September. If your in town PM me if you want to stop by. The party we had on the 23rd of August was so much fun we had about 12 girls show up, some regular some semi's. This is not a advertisement, there is no money being made here, party is gratis if your in town and a ISG member. If your a whacko please don't show. My actual favorite part of the party was the funny scene in the supermarket with me and 8 beautiful women buying the groceries for the party. Shit like that never seems to happen to me here in NY.
Sorry thought the announcements were specific to a city.
I realize it's not last post I was reffering to Medellin.

Thank you in advance
Will be in Medellin from Sept 18. This should be the last time as a non-unified married man and I would like to go out with several bangs!
I found Liliana from this group, that you for the assist and now I am looking further and newer.
If anyone has a special they are willing to share, I can promise I will be a true gentleman and they will thank you for the referral (should you have that type of relation with her).
I love slender, trigena, adorable, effectionate lindas that will treat me as a boy toy and I will treat them as a goddess.
Any help?
Thanks
PS: And if the union does not work out this will be a trip to remember and I will have different memories of a lifetime.

I have been contemplating on joining that $9 fare club. I will leave from LAX to MDE. What is the lowest you have paid for a flight to MDE?
For the inexperienced, you think you might be getting a deal. You are not. I have been comparing fares for years and I am not impressed at all with Spirit Air:
1. Their ticket prices are as expensive as anyone elses
2. They don't fly as regularly as the other airlines
3. They completely undress you with all the add-on fees, including paying for carry-on luggage
I have wished for a liar like their CEO to get paid in spades for lying to people who believe the lies the company has put forth about "lower fares". I can tell you for a fact that from LAX to MDE there are at least 4 airlines that charge less than Spirit and don't charge you the extra $150 in fees that suckers enjoy paying even after paying to join the $9 club. If you want more info, please, pm me.

I will be in Medellin from Oct. 28th through Nov 3rd. PM me if you will be in MDE at the same time. Wingman needed, thanks.
And that was more than enough. Though you can fly on any airline but this one is the most no frills you can get.
On International, AA does not charge for two bags around 50 lbs. Food is served no charge and the staff is usually good. Movies and entertainment programming and they don't charge for the headsets on the International.
Copa is the best for me other then early wake up. I am in MDE about 1 pm after a 1 hour in Panama. Food served at no cost and entertainment. No baggage fees for 2 bags about 50.
Aviance is OK for the same reasons listed above. THe main problem I have are the hours. I get into MDE about midnight and the have to cab to El Central. On one flight we were late (as is a custom with AV) and they put me up in Bogota. That was after Daylight Saving. The last time, during Daylight Savings they rushed me through BOG to catch my MDE flight. I made but baggage did not. AV did deliver the next day at no charge so this was good for me as I did not have to carry luggage to the hotel.
Spirit might as well put in vending machines as I believe the staff is there only to sell and baby sit. No cash, I guess they do not trust the crew with efectivo, so if you or the younger traveler do not carry credit cards/debit card you will not eat or drink on the fright. They do not give water. Almost everything they sell is $4. A snack size Pringles $4, $50 liter of water $4. If you fly them bring your own smacks but remember you will not be permitted drink on the flight unless you buy after the TSA check. For me the savings are not worth it. The only up-grade they have is a wider seat but they still offer nothing ont he service. I heard Aires is the same on there flights to the US.
I use the best price I can get at the time but Spirit will never again be a consideration if I have to pay for a ticket. This trip to MDE cost me $64 with Copa miles so sometimes sticking to one could be the best. AA has the best miles program from my experience and AA has given me free Business at times.
You make the call that is best for you.

I think spirit airlines pinch you for everything they can, but you also have to take into account convience. I live near Atantic city so I can fly spirit out at 7am and be in Ctg at 12;30 in the afternoon. If you catch there sales like i did this trip, I paid like 320.00 plus a carry on each way total 40 bucks I think, maybe 30 bucks total. so that s total 360.00 round trip, not bad! of course your seat will probably suck unless you pay or atleast try at the gate for them to give you an isle or window which they will if you get there early, there is no charge if you show up with no seat, you only pay if you want to prebook a certain seat. But they are fuckers with there charges. I never had a problem with there flight attendants, they were always nice and I was happy with the service, but I knew what I was getting. I fly them often.

Yeh I know I just got back from MDE on Sept. 15th, but I think being home, and seeing all the stinking Gringas affected me enough so here I go again. Oct. 5th to Oct.14th.
After that me and my Wingman will be in Nicaraqua on Nov. 2nd to Nov. 16th.
I will be solo this time in MDE so anyone who wants can give me a PM and go from there.
Spirit is so cheap because you have to pay for everything (if you want. That is key). With the $100 you saved, upgrade to the same services as other airlines and the price will jump up to the same as another airline. The point is if it's not important to you, then you don't need to get it. Why should you have to subsidize someone else's fare? It's your choice!
BTW, I'm going on my first Spirit flight next month. I'm going in knowing that I have to pay for everything but hey. I only paid $302 to MDE (including baggage fees) from NY. Food? I'll bring my own. I don't need that crappy airline food anyway. Seating? Not important. I'm not tall or big so I don't need any special seat. Baggage? I did pay the 40, but next time I'll be more efficient and fit everything in that seat underneath me. LOL

[QUOTE=Caliguy 2010]Hi,
I have been contemplating on joining that $9 fare club. I will leave from LAX to MDE. What is the lowest you have paid for a flight to MDE?[/QUOTE]Was in MDE last month. Flew Spear it out of LAX for 407. USD. Total. They fucked me on carry on, 20 bucks per leg. Out of LAX there are 4 legs. So 80 bucks, and thats part of the 407. Well ok. So I have looked into all the other carriers flying out of LAX and they charge at least 250 more, and less flying time, BUT lay overs are 4 hours at least. So its less money and longer flying time on a shit air craft, but I still get there faster.
Any one have a better way out of LAX or SNA?
I dont get why Johana would be Mad about less girls than guys, I was the last man standing after everyone filtered out. It was just me Rueben and Estephany and Laura, I wasn't sure I wanted to pull the trigger with Estapheny so I asked Laura what I should do. After alot of disscussion regarding the pros and cons of such a situation, the really priceless moments were the look on Estephany's face at the thought of possibly not generating any revenue for the evening. Being the gentelman that I am I did take her home. Which might explain the rather large stain on the bedspread. While she was wholly responsible for this I in some way may have contributed. But seriously....Post up as soon as you know the Dates, You got the nicest apts. the best team and the most fun parties I've ever been to in Medellin, not to mention you knowsome of the sweetest "semipros" in the business!
Will arrive in Medellin on Nov 30. Leaving on Dec 14. Get in touch if we can help each other on the hunt for street chicas, etc. & generally have a good time.
Friday night send me a PM for location, 8pm. Same as before cost 0, bring 0, girls we'll make some calls. See ya at my place. MDE. If you have Rubens number give him a call he'll give you directions.

Arthur,

Anyone else up for some scouting?
[QUOTE=Cubfan1963]Just can't get enough. Was there end of August and will be back Nov 8-11. If anyone will be in CTG on those dates let me know. I will be solo and would like to meet up with fellow monger travelers.[/QUOTE]Thought I would bounce this back to the top if anyone has plans to be in CTG.

My wing man not coming in until afternoon and we're hooked up with a good guide, want to link up? Hit me up at room 203, Art Hotel Medellin. I'll be heading to some morning sessions around 10:30 if you get this.
11th-18th November.
Anyone else?

Hope to arrive the 17th and stay through Thanksgiving. Figured it be more fun to stuff a Colombiana than a turkey!
Will be in Medellin Nov 19th thru Nov 27th. Staying at Casa Blanca 2. This will be my second trip this year. Can't wait to hit the casa tour again with Big Bad Boyd. Both Casa Blanca 1 and 2 are full because I got the last room available. Should be another good time with a large group of other like minded mongers.
Hello, I am back in Medellin from mid-November to mid-January.
I speak very fluent Spanish.
I have spent about three years of travel in Latin America.
About two of those years were in Colombia with about one year in Medellin.
If any Colombia veterans or any Colombia rookies want a wingman, then contact me by PM.
Want a wing man or buddy in Bogota. Know some places. Day and night.
Hi,
I am in Bogota this week, first time here so if anyone fancies getting a beer and seeing the sights, PM me.
I will be in Medellin from Jan 19 to the 26.
I will be in Medellin from Dec. 16 to the 26th. Fourth time in Colombia but first in MDE. Speak almost zero spanish.
The Tall Man
I'll be in MDE that week. Understand some Spanish, speak little, staying at CB and looking forward to it. I'm from So. Fla-just returned from Asia.
I will be traveling to Cartagena from 12/03/10 to 12/12/10, first time traveler, I have some dates lined up through the cupid.coms, but I am open to P4P action but only 8s 9s or 10s - any and all advice is welcome.
Hello fellow hunters. I will be visiting Cali from 31 January until 27 February, then visiting MDE from 27 February until 05 March. This will be my first trip to Colombia. It would be great to meet any of you and put a face to the name, perhaps have a beer or two.
And particularly in MDE it would be great to have a veteran monger that would be willing to share some street smarts with a green horn. Of course, the drinks would be on me. I am thinking of staying at one of the CB's just to make things easier. Feel free to PM.
See y'all then!
Hi all,
I will be doing my first trip to Medellin on January 31st and staying for a week until February 7th, I am not very active at this forums but I have read a lot, thanks all for all your great input!
I will be traveling alone and I am currently looking for an experienced Medellin Monger who can take me under his wing.
BTW, I am Mexican and a Tijuana local, I've been mongering in Tijuana since I was 18, a great city for the sport but you know us mongers, always looking for new horizons!
If anyone is interested please PM me.
Have been to Cartagena many times! I will be there Feb 15-23 with a couple good friends, if anybody will be around and needs any help with anything or just wants to grab some drinks with us let me know. I don't know it all, but we do tear it up pretty good.
Greetings all,
Just to let everyone know, my trip to Medellin has been changed for the first week of March, from the 2nd to the 8th, anyone who is going to be there please PM me, I will love to meet up, if you've been to Medellin and know your way arround even better, I speak perfect spanish so that can be usefull also!
I'll be in Medellin for new Years until the end of Jan. First mongering trip to Latin America. No spanish (unless you count spanglish and TV spanish 'Que Lastima! ') Tend to be budget oriented and will hope the casa scene is good but will try the whole range just to see.
I'll be in Cali from January 13-17, if anyone has any suggestions or wants to meet up send me a PM. Been to Medellin a few times, this is my first trip to Cali though.
Will be in Bogota Dec 30-January 18 for work. Usually work till 4pm then I am up to go out.
I am staying in Parque Lleras. PM me if interested in meeting up for a few beers.
Will be getting to BOG and split time with my novia in Ibague.
Airfare- $430 NO KIDDIN! Expedia 2 connections Las Vegas and Miami.
Return connections Lima 4 hour layover.
Hotel in Ibague. 80k pool 3 *
One day in Armenia hotel 100k 3 *
Looking at going to Medellin on memorial weekend (may 26th. June 1st). My first trip and have not decided where to stay. My spanish is 100 % fluent so if anyone wants to join let me know.
This will be my third trip to MDE and fourth time to Colombia. I get by pretty well with my Spanish. Would be great to have and be a wing man. I am also a photographer, so I get a lot of extra attention because I bring lighting equipment and I compose photo projects of the Paisas who in turn end up telling their friends.
Me and my buddy will be in Medellin this week. He is goin to be going to the Colombiatex convention tues. Thursday, so if anyone wants to meet up, send me a message. I have been learning as much Spanish as I can, not great but not horrible, this will be my 3rd trip since last year.
Now that I am oriented.
Returning end of February. Anyone around?
Concarne
Just letting you guys know, I will be in Cartagena Feb 15 to 23. If anyone is around and wants to grab a drink while I'm there PM me.
Thats fuking funny Hilltopper! That was probably me, not that I do that everyday! I also smoke a cigar, so you can't miss me! I will be there with 3 other friends, so don't hesitate to come up and say Hello!
[QUOTE=Hilltoppper;1117561]Sounds good! I just might be there. I think I saw you on one of my previous visits to Playa Hollywood, but you were passed out with your mouth wide open, like you were catching flies or something. LOL Tony pointed you out to me. If you see a big overweight guy smoking a cigar on Playa Hollywood, or walking around the area of the apartments Mirador Del Laguito that just might be me, even though I am working hard to slim down these days, as that was my New Years resolution, or just ask Tony if Jeff is around. The drinks will all be on me! Smile! (The smiley symbols do not seem to be working on here.)[/QUOTE]
I'll be traveling to Medellin from February 18. 21 and Cartagena from the 21. 24, second time to both cities. I'll be staying in the mansion and Mirador, would be up for grabbing a few brews with fellow mongers.
Just a reminder I arrive in Cali today and will stay until the end of the month. I will be visiting a novia so my mongering may be limited (or perhaps not) , but it is always good to hoist a beer with a fellow english speaker! And mi novia always seems to have single primas that are hanging out at her house. Send me a PM if you are in the area.

Will be in Bogota from Feb 23 to March 15.
Have some sources. Look for wingmans
Just bought the ticket on AA for a little less than $600 coming from NYC via MIA. I could have paid a little more to go through bogota or panama city but I didn't see an advantage in doing so.
I don't think I will be there the entire time but that will be where I enter and exit. I will be avoiding Medellin for sure due to la feria de las flores.
I do have a decent amount of MDE experience. Mainly el centro. It's about time I visit Cali.
My love of salsa dura holds very deep to me. I hope to learn about the Cali salsa scene. Oiga mira vea!
Hi guys traveling to Bogota and Ibague, anybody know Viagra prices there? I normally get them in the USA for $20 from Walmart. Just wondering if it is worth all the effort to get them in Colombia instead of USA
Get them in Bogota, when I am in Cartagena I buy them for 3. 50 apiece but I buy generic brand and they work great.

Just getting the word out.
Anyone else in town these days?
BOG Airport.
Guys first Thanks for all the helpful info in this thread and others regardig BOG area. Quick question regardig the airport. Is there a pharmacy I can hit up prior to leaving the airport where I can get some Viagra. Prior to heading out and meeting my novia.

[QUOTE=Caliguy 2010;1122235]Any Idea how much they go for at this place? Thanks for the info.[/QUOTE]I don't recall how much they were at that particular place but I have paid anywhere from 1 to 3 dollars apiece for 100mg pills which I split into quarters. I haven't bought the branded ones in Colombia in years so I'm not sure what they were but they're not cheap and the generics work the same as long as you buy them at a legitimate place, I like to buy them at a large supermarket chain pharmacy like Carulla or Exito because I doubt they would sell fakes.
Will be in Medellin March 31 to April 4 and Bogota from April 4 to 9. Anyone wants to connect to hang out and monger together drop me a PM.
Will be around for a few days. If anyone wants to grab a few beers and explore send me a PM.
Anyone else in town at that time?
Looking to put together a trip from Cartagena, Santa Marta, Barranquilla down through Bucaramanga and Manizales and finally down to Cali and area.
Was looking at Brazil, but now considering Colombia instead. Will finalize this week.
Probably March 1. April 1 about a week each.
Anyone around those times, feel free to reach out so we can be wing.
Just wanted to make a quick announcement:
I will be in Medellin on March 1st to March 10th.
First time:
-mongering (and P4P)
-traveling alone.
-In Colombia.
Shoot me a PM if you will be around and want to grab a drink / find some chicas. Not sure if I'll be a good wingman since I'm a newbie but it'll be a fun time regardless if you want to hang out with a 22 yr old. Or if you want to show me the ropes of MDE, that'll be awesome too

43, fit, have game with the ladies, but Spanish is pretty much non existent. I have been to Costa Rica about 12 times and know the scene there well. I had plans next week for San Jose and Managua, but my Wingmans plan changed.
I have always wanted to visit Colombia. I can pretty much go anytime and stay a week. I am laid back. Not a party guy. No drugs. Professional. Just looking for the Chicas.
My membership has expired, but if anyone wants to hook up, reply here and I will join.
Hi all, I will be in Medellin for a week starting next Wednesday the 2nd, I will be staying at Casa Blanca 2, I will be easy to spot, I'm guessing that I will be the only Mexican staying there.

Will be in MDE 3/31/11 to 4/4/11 and Bog 4/4/11 to 4/9/11. If you want to hook up I would buy you a beer or rum or whatever.

I'll be arriving in Medellin March 14 and staying till the 29th. Also planning to go to Pereira and Cali. This will be my 7th trip to Colombia, so I have a little knowledge of the scene, especially Medellin.
If anyone in Medellin cares to get together for a coffee or cerveza drop me a PM.
Again, will be in Bogota from April 5-12. If any one in Bogota by this time, we can share information. I have some sources for chicas for TDN type.
I will be back in Cartagena for a short trip from March 26 till the 30th If anyone is interested in grabbing some drinks PM me, I will be ready to party! I have been there many times!
Dude,
I have posted this before. I have been to Colombia for over 6 months / Christmas / friends / todo la madre. I learned this the hard way, by saying it to a paisa, and he FREAKED OUT ON ME, afterward my friend said to me," WHY DID YOU SAY THAT!"
SUERTE means in Colombia=== I am better that you, you are beneath me, and get away from me.
If you want to say =buena suerte then say BUENA SUERTE or you might get shanked in the kidney or punched in the face. Ave Maria Pues! Buena suerte Parceros!
P. S. If you don't believe me go to centro, walk the street with no cars parallel to the metro east until the church and hand a left, to the metro, this is prado the most dangerous place in Medellin and, well good luck gringo.
I.

Hey guys, seems like most of September, the first two weeks in November, and the first two weeks in December has some great airfares. So I'm planning a trip! I think this time I want to check out Cartegena.

1st round of drinks on me.
Was supposed to travel to Medellin in May either 12th or 26th for four days with two buddies. Lost my wingmen and the CB1&2 are full so not sure about renting an apartment or a room with Franks place by myself. Been to Medellin one time solo and stayed at CB1 had a great time. 49 years young and lookin for a wingman who wants to go in on an apartment or franks Place. Four day trip for me any Thursday- Monday in May 12 or26. Like to party and hit the clubs late night. Jerry from New Orleans
Who wants to go to Colombia? Medellin, Bogota, Cartegena?
I've been a few times and would love to share a nice apartment and have some parties with some cool dudes with the same M. O. Maybe even stay at the mansion a few nights too.
My schedule is pretty flexible so I'm thinking September or November when airfares are at their best rates right before or after the holidays.
PM me if interested.
Have been away for about 2 or 3 years. Please email me if you know Mery Salence's email address or Juan Venturas. Otherwise I will stay at Tocahagua. Thanks.
I am going to be in Bogota on the 24th of May for a few days.
Let me know if anyone is interested in hooking up for a few beers.
Howdy Fellas,
I'll be coming to Medellin for the first time next Monday morning until Friday afternoon. I'm new to the game, but have spent a lot of time in Mexico, Chile, PR, and even once in Bogota. I'm a 40 year old, big corn fed white boy that speaks fluent Spanish. Looking for some fellas to hang out with. I'll be free almost the whole time I'm there, so I'll have lots of time to cat around. It's always better with someone who knows the ropes.
Also any hotel recommendations? I haven't booked anything yet waiting to see if anyone else from the board will be there at the same time so we can stay at the same place.
Hit me up on I'm if you're interested in hanging out!
Thanks.
Kind of an old message but you should stay at one of the Casablancas until you get the lay of the land.

Going to Medellin. July 27-Aug 2. Looking for some brothers to make the trip more memorable and swap some stories. Mongered all over, hold a Brazilian passport, but never been to this part of town which from what I"m reading, I'm really looking forward to coming to.
I live six months a year in China. Which I think based on what I've seen is my top destination, but I'm hoping this trip proves me wrong.
Hoping some guys will be around to hang and party with. I've been around the block enough I know the code of ethics and have made a ton of friends through my adventures.
If you'll be there, drop me a PM. I'm staying a CB1. Lord have mercy.
-Jett
But I will be here another week, until the 13th June. Would like a reliable guide or advice to a casa for college girl hookups.

Medellin jul 3 jul 18
I will be purchasing my airline ticket tomorrow but July 12 to the 25 is what I am shooting for.
This is my 6th trip to Colombia and this will be my 2nd to Medellin.
I have grown out of hard core P4P by enjoy the casas, strip clubs, discos and just simply hanging out and about to see what kind of adventure I find. Send me a private message.
Anyone else on these dates, maybe we could both use a wingman. BTW. I speak very little Spanish.
The Tall Man
It is now confirmed. I will be in MDE from July 12 through July 26th.
Wingman needed, jejejejeje. Is anyone else going to be in town and want to explore the city and hang out? Let me know.
Just a bit about me: I'm a white professional guy in my mid life but look and act much younger. I drink very little. I am very tall at 6'7" and have traveled the world for both P4P and adventure / exploration travel.

Will be in the Mayorista area. Not at Frank's Place however I know his place well. This is my 15-16th visit to MDE.

PM me if interested.

Hola,
I will go to Medellin 5/8. It would be nice with some company (besides all the chicas) for normal tourist activities. I have not decided where I will stay, somewhere where it is safe and pretty cheap I think.
Been to Medellin about 5 times. Haven't set a place yet. Usually stay at Poblado. Anyway, anyone wants to hit the casas during the day and get some beers PM me. Later.
will be out there, mde for sure at the start, bog for sure at the end, likely santa marta and armenia in between. hit me up if you are around and want to grab a beer or whatever, i am mostly visiting friends (dudes and ladyfriends) but i keep my eyes peeled for new fun.

You'll be there for Halloween and a gang from the Mansion usually heads to Mangos dressed in costume. Take an chica and expect her to wear the sluttiest outfit imaginable. Take Saray and you'll get a cim BJ right on the dance floor.
You'll have a blast.

I just hope you don't fall asleep on the beach all day, and get sunburned.
I wish I could hang with you again but I need to slow down a bit.
(Sorry for slow response, I was reading mde reports, I like to go back a couple of months to catch up & minimize surprises)
Where are you coming from?
I went to Travelocity. $564. 10 RT from ORD (o'hare, chicago)
Get this: spirit will sell the exact same flights on their website for $654. 00! I don't get it.
First time flying no-frills Spirit Airlines. I want to see how it compares to next cheapest fare of $770 with AA (w / out 'next day arrival').
Even if I get blind-sided with some fees with spirit, I can't see them racking up to the diff: $206. 00. We'll see, I guess.
Start monitoring Travelocity. Com, Yapta. Com & Farecompare. Com, about 2 months before your travel plans. You don't want to buy too early or too late. The six-week mark seems to work for me.
Once you find a price you can live with, check the individual airline, sometimes they offer the same flight schedule for a little cheaper, sometime they don't, see above.
Also, read the travel advice offered in Farecompare. Com.
Hope this helps.

No sweat- thanks! I went with my old standby: forestdirect travel agency. They booked me on Avianca- matched Avianca. Com's website price- about $550.

I have not stayed in Poblado for awhile and am considering more upscale. Nice to have options. Safe travels
Thinking of checking out Cartagena instead of eating Turkey and staying in the US. Any members planning on visiting during that time, and willing to show a rookie some of the ropes? I speak some decent, but broken Spanish.
I rescheduled my earlier trip and will be in Medellin from November 9 - 13. I'll be staying in the new pobladorentals studio in parque lleras. As always, up for meeting fellow mongers.

Heading down for my 4th trip. Staying in Apartment 1 with Poblado Rentals. Saw too many good things about his places, so figured it was time to try it. I'll be there from Feb. 17th to the morning of the 25th. I'm mid 30s and could always use / be a wingman. My Spanish is improving.

Thats not true at all, there is no reason to dump your wife because you like pussy (as you call it) I been married 22 years and have been fucking other women since the 3 week of marriage, I know what I like but I needed a good women to have and raise my children.

I've got plenty of buddys who've been married 20 plus years, with kids, nice families.
The romance is gone, the daily / weekly pussy is gone, but the outside discrete encounters actually keep the marriage intact.
May not be ideal or sound good on the Oprah show, but if it works, it works.
On a traveling note; I'll be heading to Colombia (MDE / CLO) in about 10 days, maybe I'll catch up with some of my old buddies while I'm there.
Have fun guys!

Ricker you need to expand your horizons in Colombia outside of Medellin and Cali. You might be surprised at what you may find. (wink) You must be slowing down in your old age, as you use to visit Cartagena and other areas if my memory serves me correct.
Hey MiamiHeatLuver, possibly YouCan is showing a little more class than you and others, and prefers using the term women over the term pussy, but to each their own.
YouCan, I totally understand and agree with your post, and the lifestyle you have chosen, as it makes all the sense in the world, and having mistresses for example in many cultures is normal. Continue to have fun but lay off the drinking and driving, as you are only asking for trouble, as eventually it will find you, and you have to much to lose my friend.[/QUOTE]A guy can't even sneak out of MDE without someone blowing his cover. Anyway Santa Marta is beautiful as always. One major problem is the ocean water is bone chilling cold. I hope it is a one day thing, and the wind changes as that sometimes makes a difference in water temps. On Jan. 27th I return to MDE till Feb. 14th, then it is back to the USA, and no more sexo for me. Yes I admitt I can only get young and beautiful women to let me have them only in Latin America. I have not been to Asia yet, but I suspect I might have a little luck there also. LOL

BH69 and U do it all the time! (wink) If and when you do decide to expand your horizons again, you might want to consider the islands of Aruba, SMX, and Curacao! It is my main paradise these days in addition to here in Colombia.[/QUOTE]Sounds good amigo, thanks.
BTW, I know those 3 islands very well.
I used to practically live at Campo Alegre.
Fun times!
For now I'm finding exploring Brasil these days a pretty good adventure, however, a side trip to Colombia
is right around the corner.
Take care amigo.
[QUOTE=CollegePusher;1243424]Took a lot for me to get out of my shell as well (I'm 23). You're in Cartagena, I'm assuming? Check out the Cartagena reports to see if anyones around. People around would usually PM you. Have fun![/QUOTE]Listen here CP, get your butt over to MDE pronto.
Maybe one F2 or similar experience but I find more satisfaction from the diamond in the rough.
I'm dying to throw a party with some chill dudes.
PM me if you will be around and I will do the same with those who have already mentioned the same dates.
Thanks
[QUOTE=WorldTraveler123;1237368]Will be visiting Feb 11. 19th. First trip. Any advice?[/QUOTE]Pay Jackson your 19. 99 so you can contact other ISG members.
I know this is really early notice, but I will be in Colombia (Medellin) for the first time from July 11-19 for my birthday vacation. I'm staying at the Casa Blanca Medellin while I'm there.
I think it is the rainy season. Anyway, I will be heading to Medellin with a buddy. If anyone wants to get a few drinks let me know.
I am in Bogota now till March 7. If anyone wants to link up and hit Santa Fe or 93 just drop me a line. Been here plenty and speak Spanish.
If anyone wants to get together PM me. I speak spanish and know Cartagena well. I will be staying in a luxury 2br oceanfront Bocagrande Apt. One bedroom is available for rent at a reasonable rate.
10 may to 20th in Medellin.
Then 20-30may in Cartagena.
PM me if anyone is going to be there.
I'll be making my first trip to Cartagena 3/22 to 3/26. If anyone is going to be around and wants a wing PM me!
First time in Columbia, I'd be happy to meet for a beer (or two). PM me.
Sounds good amigo, thanks.

Here in Medellin for rest of week. First trip to Colombia and main purpose is general tourism but having found this site the mongering has been a fun diversion already in Cartagena and Santa Marta.
If anyone fancies a beer this week and trying some casas or strip clubs then PM me.
Hola mis hermanos.
I'll be in MDE from March 9 to March 18 staying in CB1. Followed by a week in Cali. If anyone's around,
Let me know.
I will be in MDE from 3/27/2012 untill 4/5/2012.
Hi,
So I am heading to Medellin Colombia this June (dates not concrete yet) and I was supposed to go with a friend because I will be renting a very nice two bedroom apartment but my friend cancelled.
So here's the deal guys. I am looking for someone to join me. Why join me? Well here is what I bring to the table.
1) I speak fluent Spanish and I will be more than happy to be your translator with the chicas.
2) This is not my first mongering trip. I have traveled to both Dominican Rep and Costa Rica to monger. So I will not be a annoying newbie with hang ups. If your a newbie no worries, I tend to get along with everyone as long as they hate Glen Beck.
3) Last time I checked I was relatively sane. So don't worry I won't cut out your liver while you sleep. I hate liver.
4) I am funny (see 3)
5) I will have your back no matter what (unless you commit a crime, because I do not want to go a Colombian jail and be Pacos *****)
What I want.
1) Pay your half of the apartment (50 bucks or if you bring a friend we can upgrade to a penthouse for 66 dollars.
2) Be a relatively normal human being with decent social skills. I am all for being quirky but I do not want to worry that when I sleep I will wake up missing my toes or that you will get drunk and ask the bouncer if he can suck your dick.
3) Be American, Canadian or Latino between the ages of 24-38.
4) Don't be a pig. If you leave me surprises in the toilet, decide not to bathe in 3 days, begin to pluck your nose / ear hairs in front of me or damage / destroy anyone else's property because you were a dick, then I will hog tie you, throw you in the trunk of a taxi and have him drive you to the outskirts of Medellin.
So if your down let me know via PM. As for the dates I am thinking sometime in June but if you want to do it in May or July I may be down.

Sorry, didn't realize my posts had to be approved, hence the double post.
Thought the first one didn't register.
Guys I will be there on the 24th of April. Going with a buddy of mine. Plan to hit the cases hang out in el centro and on and around the weekend hit the clubs at night. Anyone, wants to hang have a bear or 3. Join me for some mongering. Let me know. Been to Medellin about 6 times. Have a novia but, now looking for another to pass the time.
Ok I am going to Medellin from May 30th through June 7th. I am getting a place through poblado rentals. If anyone is going to be there within this time frame let me know, maybe we can meet up and hang out. Especially if you speak some Spanish.
Thanks
Hi,
I am travelling to Medellin Colombia April 23-May 6. I am interested in renting an apartment from Poblado rentals. I usually stay at the Mansion and I have been to Medellin 2 to 3 times a year. My first trip to Medellin was in 2008 and have been returning almost every year. I am interested in renting an apartment this time because Mansion is almost full and although I would still like to stay at the Mansion for few days my plan is to divide this two week trip half in apartment and half at the Mansion.
So here's the deal guys. Apartment that is available at Poblado Rentals is a 3 bedroom luxury apartment costing $890 / week. It is apartment modern 9 in poblado rentals website. [url]www.pobladorentals.com[/url]. So if we can share the apartment it will cost approx $450 each. The apartment does not come with Maid service but I will rather hire a maid and pay for her services my self. The maid will clean our rooms and cook us breakfast in the morning. Basically it is approx. US$ 65 / day if we have two people. If we find another person then cost will reduce further.
I am looking for some one who is decent and would prefer some one who is clean and has some history at the board. I know Medellin very well. If you are interested I suggest you read some of my previous posts and I will do the same. I am not looking to get into any problems in Colombia so I am not looking for a trouble maker.
I don't smoke but I don't care if you smoke. As per drugs. I don't do any I would rather that no drugs are brought in the condo.
I am of Indian origin but have lived in north America for last 15 years. I am 39 years old. I am friendly with almost any age. I have friends who are 25 and some are age 65 as well.
I speak little Spanish. Basically I get by and I don't have much problem communicating the basics with the girls.
I have travelled all over the world as you can easily see from my previous posts.
I don't mind sharing information for girls but I really don't like when guys hit on the girls that are with me. I would very much appreciate if you ask me the info like a gentleman and most of the time I will gladly share that info.
So if any one is interested let me know and we can rent some thing decent. I am open to other apartments suggestions but it has to be in poblado area.
Regards,
John.
I'll be doing a short 2 day stay over in Bogota (6/1-6/2) and then a week in Cartagena (6/3-6/10). It'll be my first time in Bogota. Any vets of Bogota want to PM me with some intel? Much appreciated.

Looks like I am doing this trip Solo so if anybody will be around and wants to grab some drinks send me a PM. I usually don't go out till later at night 12-1am. Spend my days on beach. I am a big drinkier and like to party hard but always fun and easy going. I like to have fun. I just have to try to avoid the ball and Chain!
Gents, I know its a while away, but its my first time to MDE.
Flying out of Toronto sometime in October. Anyone want to join?
Looking for a wing.
My Spanish is passable and I have some good notes from previous visits.
PM me to make a plan.
Peace
June 19 to 27. I will do some casa run. I have not done that for a while.
Cheers.
I will be in Medellin from July 11-19. I will be celebrating my birthday on July 18. This will be my first trip to Medellin. I will be traveling solo and would like to meet up with some wingman. Even with classes and books my Spanish is still basic. PM me if you're interesed, got any advise on best places to celebrate a bday, or chicas that likes to party. Jejeje.
I will be in Cartagena from Friday June 29th to Wednesday July 4th, would be interested in hanging out with other mongers. I'll mostly be trying out LDV, Elektra, Fragma and the beach.
Will be in Bogota June 25 to 28/29. Looking for evening opportunities near Santa Ana, Molinos Norte areas. Hotel charges for the extra cama so hoping to find a casa in the area.

Cheers.
Plan to hit Mayo, Casas (esp. NL & Loutron's at least once) , Fase 2. Any newby that's around then & cares to come along, I'll be glad to help out. My way to give back: This site & its members have been very helpful & generous with their info.
In MDE starting this Monday. 7/30/12, for a week. Who wants to do some casa run?
Cheers.
August 24. Sept 9.
I am alway up to meeting a new amigo. Share some intel on what's current in the hobby landscape of this city

Cheers.
I will be staying in Laurelles, can't remember how to spell it ha ha. Will be partying hard, any one wants to meet up I am at captainpjd heat mail, have an extra room to.
This is my first time to Colombia, not my first time doing dirty deeds for cheap. I've been to the Dominican Republic my last 3 trips,
So time to see something new. I've been to Thailand 1 bazillion times but it's really far for me to go there from where I live now.
I tried to work out a stay at the Mansion but it didn't work out, even a friend suggested it, I'll check it out for sure though.
I already booked a flight / hotel deal so I will be staying at Best Western Skyplus Hotel.
If anyone is willing to show around a soon to retire Vet, that doesn't speak much Spanish, I'd sure be happy to treat you to drinks.
And my leftover chicas. Haha.
Or if there are some other newbies willing to venture out, also let me know.
27 been to Medellin once before loved it, helps I'm fluent, trying to figure out where to stay, I was thinking el centro too what do you recommend?
[QUOTE=Kazer;1321881]27 been to Medellin once before loved it, helps I'm fluent, trying to figure out where to stay, I was thinking el centro too what do you recommend?[/QUOTE]It depends on what your comfort level is. Do you need internet access 24hours? The ability to walk around without using cabs? Close to the action? There is the main chica-friendly hotel near Parque Botero called Hotel Premier Plaza. 511-6139 and 511-6301 I think their nightly charge is 30K per night. There also several of these LOVE Motels near the casas. I imagine the pricing is about the same.
Anyone in Medellin these dates?
Young guy, fluent, MDE vet looking for wingman.

I will be heading to Cartagena on above dates if anyone is in town and wants to grab some drinks and check out the girls.
Few days at the mansion. Haven't decided what to do for the rest of the stay.
Please PM if you will be around.
Anyone in town this week send me a pm.
I will be in Cartagena from Nov 5-11. This will be my 5th trip. For those that don't know, this is also the time for the Colombia National Beauty Pageant. This time, I'm planning to explore beyond the usual places reported on frequently and am planning to go to some "casas" and "houses".
If anyone else will be in CTG during that time, PM me. I'm easy going and not into heavy drinking recreational drug use and would prefer someone the same to be a wingman.

I am planning a trip to Medellin on the first week of Dec. Didn't buy the tickets yet but, there should and't be any issues. This is about the 10th time to Medellin. I have 2 steady chicas that I will be spending time with but, also need to have some mongering time. If anyone, wants to hang just PM me.
Hi,
I'll be travelling to Bogota, Cartagena and then Cali between these dates, looking to hook up with anyone looking to meet some chicas!

Returning to Medellin Dec 9. 17. Staying at the Mansion (Plaza) as usual. Looking
forward to checking out the new bar.
Heading to Medellin for a little Holiday, anyone going to be around. Few cold ones and a few hot ones, Hope to meet a few members. PM for more info.
Will be glad to help out any newbies. PM me for contact info.
Cheers.
I'm here in Medellin until Dec9th. Anyone wants to get a beer or two, let me know.
Going to be visiting end of January 2013 and wanted to see the P4P, Casas, semi-pro, non pro chicas in 5 cities. Medellin, Bogota, Barranquilla, Cartagena, and Cali. Any recommendations on which city I should spend the most time in mongoring? My standards are mostly in search of 7. 5+ from a 1-10. I find the female Colombian Golf player Maria Jose Uribe to be a 7 from a 1-10. And Pornstar Esperanza Gomez is a perfect 10. Money isn't an issue, I'm willing to pay $200 for Short Term as long as she's a 10.
Hi everyone, I will be staying at the Medellin Plaza from the 11th thru the 18th, just one week! It's my second time in MDE but I left a lot pending to do the first time I came.
I am mexican so I speak perfect spanish if someone is looking for a wingman.
See you there!
My maiden voyage to Colombia. Looking to frequent the non-pro clubs as well as everything else these fine cities have to offer. Drop me a line if you want to get a drink or a solid wing.
Gents I will be back in Medellin this December. First trip since my girlfriend and I broke up and the first heavy mongering trip in two years (see aforementioned girlfriend).
I like to fucking party. I also like to kick back and BS. Very easy going. Mainly, I like to bang tight teenage asses and have a good time.
If you're like me, drop me a line. I'll be in MDE at least until the New Year, will probably do Santa Marta, Cartagena or San Andres once I get sick of the climate and crave sun. It's all in God's hands LOL.
Anyway, yes, I will be there, would love to meet some regulars or hang around with some first timers. Cheers.

Money isn't an issue, I'm willing to pay $200 for Short Term as long as she's a 10.[/QUOTE]I answered it in general forum as it is a question and not an announcement.

Visiting Columbia, am flexible with the places although I arrive in Bogota January 25th. I'm 35yrs caucasian, english speaking from Australia, looking for a wingman any age to have some fun maybe do some tag teaming too. Hit me up if you want to hangout. I'm flexible with the dates and places so if you got another plan maybe I can change to suit. I posted previously but I had to delay my trip until January.
Hola!
I am from Sweden. Visiting Bogota December 23-30. Medellin December 30-January 6. I speak very little Spanish, fluent English. I am looking for a crazy time, but most likely need some help with Spanish. If any Spanish speaking person is out there willing to help out you can contact me by PM here. I do not mind paying for good services.
Will be glad to help out any newbies. PM me for contact info.
Cheers.
Wouldn't mind meeting up with interesting people.
Me: "young" and fluent in Spanish

Mid-30's American (living in London) heading to Bogota end of January for a week. Looking to have some good fun and would love to meet anyone around to go find some girls with and have a good party. I'm planning to have a nice hotel suite set-up, so a good place to bring them back to and entertain! I don't speak a lick of Spanish and I've never been to Colombia, so any local / Spanish assistance would be more than appreciated. My company's credit card will gladly return the favour in food, drinks and whatever else! Send me a PM if you're around.

Asking what are all these "massage" charges on your card! Not speaking a word of espanol is going to hamstring you BIG TIME! Especially in Colombia. If you're over 6" tall with Blue eyes and not fat you should be fine. This is a FACT no matter how many times we argue about it on the boards. Tom Brady / Cristiano Ronaldo get more pussy than ALL of us because they are TALL, HANDSOME, FAMOUS, AND RICH.
This might be a good spot to pick up some "regular girls"

I'm not going to be around till mid Feb. REPORT BACK! Good or Bad please! Also details please.
I will be at the beach at the end of Jan. Bringing sand till the 2nd of Feb then I will be free.
Cartagena 2nd week of feb. Anyone around for drinks, clubs, and beach, the more the merrier!
If all goes well I should be set on St Val's night, leaving me on the prowl the rest of the time.
I am fairly open minded but drugs and bad manners will result in my parting company with you.
Looking for wingmen.

In MED now and Looking for a wingman with passable Spanish and laid back attitude
[QUOTE=Hasideas Tao;1410379]In MED now and Looking for a wingman with passable Spanish and laid back attitude[/QUOTE]How could we get in touch?
Hi All,
I am currently in Bogota and am planning to go to a swingers club this Friday night (19th April) with a lady friend of mine. If anyone else wants to grab a female partner and go as a group. Maybe grab dinner / drinks before. Drop me a message.
Hey dudes. I'll be in the Del Rio Hotel in 2nd ave. Most of my time in Bar La Veinte and Bar Sonoro and Dr Amor and with SW near Bar Sonoro. PM me and we'll share a few stories and drinks. Also I like riding random buses to see random places and f? K random girls. Then I think I'll mosey off to Cambodia or go back to Mombasa, Kenya. Wherever there's gin and tonic and breast milk! BF
I'll be in Medellin from 5/29 to 6/3, looking forward to finding some great paisas. I'm traveling solo, and always up for meeting like minded travelers.
I have the choice of an overnight layover in Panama or Bogota. Arrive roughly 845 pm in each city with 10am flight out.
My primary goal is to catch my flight in the morning.
My secondary goal is to have a fun time and get a little taste of the city with as little stress and as much ease as possible. So in other words, which place gives the biggest bang for your buck?
All comments welcome.
Thanks
Hi everybody,
As I see I should have announced my trip before staying here.
I want to assemble a team of young guys (around our 30's or even some 40's). I have observed that girls here are very selective, if you think a while it has some sense. In the case of local women just having fun. As we do they hang out in group. A carismatic group of men has a lot more of chances to score. In the case of scort women, if you can fuck a young man instead of a old one for the same money ¿why not?
I'm 32 year old and I have explored the Medellin nigths for a couple of weeks. I will stay here for 3 months and let me tell you: this city is great about sex tourism and romance.
I must confess my spanish is almost perfect (sometimes better than my english) , I have lived in latinamerica for almost 15 years. But, I am not so confident like the local guys who obviously know these hotties and know how to approach them.
I'm new in ISG so pardon me all of you if this post doesn't belong here.
We'll keep in touch, any questions or comments are welcomed
I have never been Bogotá, but I can give you my two cents about Panama. When I have layover in Panama, I stay in Wyndham Venito Hotel Casino. The casino lobby and also the restaurant across street is full of good looking girls. Most of the are Colombian. The hotel is totally Chicago friendly, but a little expensive. About $140.
This is my first contribution to the forum and I'm glad that I did it.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Best bang for the buck will be Bogota. However, Santa Fe is not in the safest neighborhood. Maybe not for your first trip there solo.
For convenience it would be Habano / Veneto in Panama. However, it's quite a bit more expensive.
If you're only going to be there overnight. Stick to the safety of Panama.
