Bogota FAQ

[Djosten]

I will be flying to Bogota for a few days in a few weeks. I have a few questions about this:

Should I rather take a hotel in Santa Fe or in Chapinero (or somewhere else entirely)?

It should preferably be in an area with many nightclubs / strip clubs and brothels of any kind.

In which part of town can I find the prettiest women (for money)? Can you give me some names of the clubs? I read somewhere that prices are cheaper in Santa Fe than in Chapinero. Probably the classiest clubs with the most desirable women are also in this part of town.

Thanks to all who can answer me (English is not my native language).

If money is not a problem? The IBIS is $30 a night.

That place looks really nice but is it chichas friendly?

[Cakpm]

If money is not a problem one should definitely stay at IBIS.

Hello,

I hope you can help me.

I would love to make nude photos of the girls, just for me. A lot of girls at https://www.photoprepagos.com/ write on their profile "Actriz porno".

Has someone made photos of a girl? Is it okay in Bogota? Or does it cost more money?

Some girls do not show their faces in their profile, but writes "Actriz porno".

What is your opinion?

Hey Lopiu,

I can't PM you because you haven't paid for full access but if you want to take pictures and even videos. Come with me and you can take all you want.

Be safe and have a blast.

SKY.

Routard did an exhaustive research and report of Bogota.

This has to be one of the most comprehensive report of a location anywhere. Planning to go to Colombia with a couple bros later this year, I much appreciate all this first-hand info's.

Muchas Gracias Sr Routard!

Thanks again Routard for your big FAQ on 28/10.

Took me 30 minutes to read everything but totally worth it.

I m planning to go to Bogota for my first time for one week soon.

I have a few question tho, is Abadubai Spa (or Abadunai on the map) still opened? Has someone been there recently?

After reading our review, I really want to go there since Routard says the line up is the best there.

After looking for the address, it appears that websites are giving me a lot of different locations for this massage parlour.

I just wanted to confirm with you guys who have been there that it's this location:

Go to the Magic Barbershop on Cra 10 No 22-73. It is a block from the San Francisco Hotel. The owner speaks English and previously lived in Orlando. I am helping him with an immigration matter and cannot advise you about the quality of his haircuts.

Sounds good! Added to the map.

Thanks! Do they just do haircuts. Or waxing, man-scaping, etc?

[Ho Lover1]

This is a question that needs answering Any Bogota locals have good suggestions for haircut / waxing / etc for men for a visit?

Agree 100%. Did not see any A/C venting in my room, however there was a window which opened outside. Very noisy on weekends until about 2 am, with a club downstairs and the lobby is on floor 3.

However it is hard to get the shower temperature in a mid range, either it is hot or cold. The instructions above the shower handle are worthless.

However I would recommend not using the IBIS taxis, they try to charge triple what the street taxis charge for the same distance. I took a taxi Saturday to the Mezzanine 104-15 and the Ibis taxi said 35,000 pesos. I said that is high. He then said 25,000 pesos. I took a street taxi back to the hotel for 12,100 pesos.

Did you try a rideshare option like Uber while you were there? I heard that while not usually the cheapest, is the most transparent with their fares.

[YyzTravel]

Any recommendations on a barber and manscape service?

Hi everyone,

Could anyone answer my questions?

1) Is prostitution business in Bogota Colombia legal? Yes they say on web it is legal in Colombia, but it could be tricky?

For example: I live in Canada and here the prostitution is illegal but:

Prostitution in Canada. Current laws on sex work, introduced by the Conservative government in 2014, make it illegal to purchase or advertise sexual services and illegal to live on the material benefits from sex work. Although it is legal to sell sexual services, in some cases it is illegal to solicit in public areas..

Society always views sellers of sexual services as someone who is in need and hence they are lenient towards them. But when someone is forced for sexual services, then it becomes illegal, like pimping or forced prostitution.

Can a person purchase sexual services?.

There's a simple way to answer your question. Go to Bogota. Go to Santa Fe. Find a couple of police who are hanging out around all the prostitutes. Ask them if they are going to arrest you if you have sex with a prostitute.

It's illegal to have sex with a prostitute under 18. Pimping is illegal. If you try to have sex with a prostitute in a public park or next to a school, you may get into trouble.

Other than that, prostitution is not illegal in Colombia.

Can a person purchase sexual services?

Purchasing sexual services and communicating in any place for that purpose is now a criminal offence for the first time in Canadian criminal law. A person convicted of this new offence may be sentenced to up to 5 years imprisonment if prosecuted on indictment, and 18 months if prosecuted by summary conviction. Mandatory minimum fines also apply, including higher mandatory minimum fines if the offence is committed in a public place that is or is next to parks, schools, religious institutions or places where children can reasonably be expected to be present. A person convicted of purchasing sexual services from a person under the age of 18 years may be sentenced to up to 10 years imprisonment. Mandatory minimum penalties of 6 months imprisonment for a first offence and one year for subsequent offences also apply.

Can a person sell sexual services?

The new prostitution laws do not criminalize the sale of sexual services. They also protect those who sell their own sexual services from criminal liability for any part they may play in the prostitution offences that prohibit purchasing sexual services, advertising those services, receiving a material benefit from the prostitution of others or procuring others for the purpose of prostitution.

This means that the new laws do not prevent sellers from taking certain safety measures, should they continue to sell sexual services.

Thanks.
