I'm planning another Bogota trip for early April, problem is my passport expires on June 29,2016, a little more then 3 months after my arrival. Anyone have experience with the less then 6 month validity rule in Colombia?

FWIW, I have spent Holy Week in Medellin and it wasn't that bad outside of Thursday and (Good) Friday. I would say that through Wednesday the activity was about 80% of normal. Thursday and Friday things shut down and the only action was if you made plans with a girl you already knew. Then Saturday, things picked up again.

There are several recent posts in the Medellin reports section addressing this issue.

IMO if it's the only time you can go, I wouldn't be dissuaded.

I agree 100%, Thursday and Friday suck unless you've made prior arrangements or have reliable contacts.

Before and after, all systems Go!

Combo,

Thanks for the information. I did see the posting over in the Medellin reports but nothing super clear like what you just stated. I was actually looking to fly in Thursday and stay till Monday or Tuesday. From what you're saying, if I do get in Thursday night then Friday is tourist sight seeing day? Also if you had to pick between Medellin or Cartagena during this same time period which would you choose and why? I was thinking about Colombia because flying there is so cheap around that time but I could also do Budapest or somewhere similar in Europe.

Haven't been to Cartagena during Holy Week, so I can't compare to MDE. However if you are arriving on Thursday, yes, you should just resign yourself to touristy things for Thursday and Friday. Saturday after Good Friday, things will pick up and by Monday, things will be back to normal. Would be nice if you get get there a few days earlier so you could set up something for Thursday and Friday.

So was planning a trip to Colombia near the end of March since flights are cheap. Just found out that it's Holy Week during this time and stuff might be closed and people off with their families. Was wondering if it's worth taking a trip during this time or should I just find another place to visit?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Has anyone seen this article by the Washington Post? Do you know of anyone that has gotten infected while in Colombia?

=============

Zika has been linked to birth defects. Now it may be causing paralysis.

TURBO, Colombia The Zika epidemic flaring across the Americas has produced several hot spots with large numbers of cases. But there is no place quite like Turbo.

The mosquito-borne virus has spread rapidly here and across lowland Colombia, but the city is unusual for the subsequent outbreak of a rare, debilitating disorder known as Guillain-Barre syndrome, whose precise link to the virus remains unclear. Before Zika's arrival in Turbo, a mostly Afro-Colombian town of 60,000 set amid vast banana plantations on the country's north coast, doctors typically saw one case of Guillain-Barre a year, if that.

In the past six weeks, there have been five, all of them severe. Three patients have died. One is fighting for his life in an intensive care unit. The fifth, a 10-year-old girl, hasn't been able to move her legs in a week.

Does the 100.000-150.000 exit fee apply to chicas your just taking for a quick session, or is just applied to chicas your taking out TLN?

So why are you even mentioning offering money to normal women is what I am not understanding?

But most of the non-pros that I have been with know that I come to their countries often. If they know it is your first time visiting or your visit is a one off thing then I do not know what type of results you can expect.

They are going to eat this man up. Offering money to a girl who is a non working girl is also a way for him to get his ass kicked, as you know Mr. Enternational with your vast experience how Latinas can be if they are insulted, and that is exactly what he is doing if he should offer money to a girl who is not in the pay for play scene.

Hi guys,

I'm planning to visit Colombia for 2 weeks in April. I've read up on the scene there somewhat and I found that using Tagged is a good thing.

The thing is, I'm not sure how to approach the girls on it. Should I be forward and offer money straight away or should I try and nurture the relation with them and ask for sex much much later on? I do speak Spanish so that's not a problem.

Also, I've read that there are a number of scammer on Tagged. Would the tactic of eliminating girls with a single photo on their profile be good enough?

I find Facebook to be better than Tagged, but they both worth the same way. And also free dating apps like Tinder as long as you are already in the area.

My technique is just start adding as many "Meet Me" and "Yes" swipes as possible. With Tag and Tinder it is all about the quantity to start. I have seen girls accounts and they get hundreds of requests a day. So it is easy for them to choose. The initial entry into a girls online account is the hardest, so you really need to start with some good pictures and a good bio write up.

Once you made a connection, then of course you add them as friends, but be careful with Facebook because they will flag your account. Tagged and Tinder don't seem to limit the amount of people you add as friends or messages sent.

Once they added you as a friend, you can start adding their friends who you think are hot. So in reality you don't have to set your target on the initial girl. Once a girl can see who you are friends with and share an mutual friend, they will be more likely to add you as a friend. Then you can start sending them a copy and paste message that you will be visiting on such and such dates. Again Facebook doesn't like spam and will flag your account if you go too crazy with the copy and paste messages. Facebook is more about patience. Tagged and Tinder is a free for all, but I personally get less results than I do with Facebook.

Most of time you can pick out the pros from the pictures. You will see them in fancy hotels and resorts that the normal girl will never be able to afford. Sometimes they mix in their normal every day house and family where you can see they come from poor area, but a lot of girls have multiple accounts.

The normal girls who are non pros won't have pictures by themselves in a fancy hotel. If they do have their own money and are in nice hotels, most likely their friends an family will also be in the pictures. You can try wasting time with those girls, but it will still cost you money and time. If you are a short vacation it may not be worth the effort, but if you are willing to put in the time, it may work out nice in the end. If they find out you are with prostitutes, most likely they won't want to mess with you and look as you as a playboy.

In the end it will always come down to how much time and money you want to spend. I consider my homework part of the trip. So I don't mind spending the time adding girls to my social network.

[Mr Enternational]

Since I'm new to mongering, I'd hate to offer money to a non-pro and offend her since I believe that the best GFE can be had from a non-pro.

[You Can]

No you didn't insult me, my skin is pretty thick as is my waistline. LOL. But not that I live in the countries I visit but I do visit frequently. I just never consider them shit holes. I have been in some rough places but most all the people I meet love there country and don't think of it as a shithole. Also I try to meet girls while not perfect are still very kool and especially Colombia dress to impress. I have met and stayed in touch with a few girls and enjoy there company.

I am totally looking forward to my trip next week. I love partying and meeting girls! But I also just enjoy getting away from all the work and bullshit I have to deal with in my normal daily life. My little 5-10 day excursions give me the break I need.

Happy hunting!

I can't wait!

Mr Can, I sense I have insulted you with my comment and that was not my intention. Yes foreign countries are not shit holes, but I was picturing in my mind the child being brought up by poor single mother who could not adequately provide for them, especially once their prime earning years were over. If one does the right thing and takes respectability for supporting their children and provides both financial and parental support, I have no issue with it. Since I do not intend to do that, getting cut was for me the ethical way to go.

Guys,

Be kind to our friend here. If he had perfect game he'd be fucking the models in his home town and not be on this forum.

Man, by all means come to beautiful Colombia and do your best here. See how far your Spanish gets you with all the non-pros while going to the pros to cure any blue balls. In my experience you're less likely to get eaten alive by female predators in Colombia than many other destinations. The politest prostitutes in the region.

Don't offer money to a non pro hoping it'll make her horny. Tell her what you want, like taking her to your hotel room, and leave it to her to say what she wants. If she's a prepago she'll tell you her fee. If she's looking for true love she'll likely need time to get comfortable with you which is difficult in one short trip.

[PerfectLover]

Sorry but you are not a perfect lover, and you have no game. I am not being derogatory but being honest. If you do not know how to approach girls on a website, then the girls are going to eat you alive when you meet them in person. I would suggest you select another location other than South America. I know this is not what you want to hear, but I am speaking to you in reality.

PerfectLover is just a nickname, it has nothing to do with my prowess in the bedroom. Regarding having no game, I agree with you. If I had it, I wouldn't be asking for such advice.

Like everyone else here, I'd like to tap a Colombian chica for as little money as possible. I'm not poor or cheap, I just prefer to find a non-pro. However, I don't mind paying for a pro. The thing is, since my time is limited I'd like to set up as many (or any) girls as possible before actually landing. Since I'm new to mongering, I'd hate to offer money to a non-pro and offend her since I believe that the best GFE can be had from a non-pro.

If it is a hooker that you want then why go through all the trouble and wasting time on a dating site trying to find one? Why not wait until you are there and go to a known hooker spot or search for one on the myriad of hooker websites that exist? That is akin to driving around residential neighborhoods searching for cars that are up for sale when you could just go to a used car lot or ebay or autotrader and find what you are looking for in 3 minutes.

For the hookers I intend to do just that, it's just that I'd like to set up something before I land so I maximize my time there.
