Hey World Traveler 69.

What's up with your maps? The ones I was using all disappeared from my Google Maps app. And when I click on a link to one of your maps all I get is an error message in maps app.

It's such a great resource, I'the hate to lose it.

And you're not receiving private messages anymore. What's up with that?

First and foremost thank you for your information. It's much appreciated. Where can we get a hold of a Word Travelers 69 map? I looked online but didn't find any luck seeing a website.

Just got back from a week in Baranquilla. Up front, I want to say that I am a bargain basement hobbyist. I seek to have as many sessions with a variety of chicas (and the occasional MILF) at the lowest price in the area. Which in BAQ is 40-50 k for 20-30 minutes. No massages, no drinking with the girls, not spending the night. Just an opportunity to spend some quality time with attractive females. Which for me is the girl next door, or a typical MILF you see waiting at a school to pick up her child. If a cute face returns my smile with what looks like a real smile of her own, and, her body is fairly well proportioned, I know I will almost certainly enjoy the session. I like them natural, boob jobs and ass jobs really turn me off. To have these opportunities for less than the price of a movie ticket, really almost for free, is definitely my idea of a good time.

That being said, I didn't find as many opportunities as I have in other Colombia cities, but I had 9 enjoyable sessions and considered the visit worthwhile. I use World Traveler 69's maps wherever I go in Central and South America, and even though they are dated, they still are useful. I just sent him a few updates based on my activity. I had chosen an AirBnb which was close to several spas / casas, but it turned out 2 of the ones that sounded very promising are closed. However, there was one memorable location, where I had 7 of my 9 sessions, all for 40 k for 20 minutes, though I always gave them the 10 k change for a propina. The place is on WT69's map, with the name Bloom (Blue). It was very easy to find. If you can imagine a group of cute coeds renting an apartment, and deciding to run an adult business out of it on their own, you will have a sense of this place. If you've ever watched porn, and seen the students going at it in a dorm, and thought to yourself how come that didn't happen for me in college, you can live that experience here. It never seemed that there was a mamasan or anyone in charge. When I knocked on the door, one of the chicas would look through a little hole in the plastic that was covering the glass panels of the door. The person doing so just seemed to be whomever was closest to the door when I arrived. The entrance room had several couches, like a college apartment living room, and some of the chicas were just lounging around, in various states of undress, some in street clothes. All but one, who seemed to be a little older (she said she was 22), were very cute, in decent shape, and very friendly. One would call for the others who were not in the entrance area, and they would introduce themselves. There might be as few as 2 and a many as 5 who presented themselves. You just pick one and they take you to a room, all of which had air conditioning. You could lounge around with one of them if you wanted, but that's not my thing. I speak very limited Spanish, but they were all a lot of fun to talk to while doing the deed. I judge the effort of a chica by how much effort they put into CG position, and all of them passed that test in flying colors, with tits bouncing and swinging and asses moving throughout. I really couldn't believe they would get into it like that for 40 k. All service was covered, though one offered BBBJ for 40 K extra, but I didn't feel a need for it. I repeated with 2 (Diana and Luna) and also enjoyed Carmalina and Pamela. I sessioned with Escarlina, who was the least attractive, when I was in a rush to get to the airport. But even she made a great effort to satisfy. The other places I went to were Boston 2 and Boston 3. Unfortunately, I went to Boston 2 four times, and it was only open once, despite one of the chicas telling me that one time that they had regular hours. The door always has a cerrado (closed sign), even when they are open. I only saw 2 chicas the one time I got in, but it was a good session, again, 40 k. I had put off going to Boston 3, since the WT69 list said that the minimum price was 70 k. However, when I went, and asked for 20 minutes, I was quoted 40 k. It made me realize I probably should have tried some other spas that had higher prices listed on the map. But the truth is, it was so hot I probably couldn't have done much more than my 9 sessions. Anyway, at Boston 3, when I knocked, I saw a cute 30 something MILF look out the window. By this time, I had already gone to 2 map locations and one on the report posted just after the map, where there were regular families living there, the spas had closed or moved. So I was assuming that was going to be the case here. But not wanting to possibly miss out, I asked her Hay chicas aqui? And she, to my pleasant surprise, said yes. At least when I went (early weekday afternoon), they seemed to specialize in MILFs, which I enjoy every now and then. 2 of the 3 were quite doable, both being the type you might see walking down the street and making you think (if you have mind like mine) "I'd like to spend some quality time with her". I chose the one who had looked out the window when I arrived. She was dressed in normal street clothes, but upon removing them, presented a great pair, and very little belly fat (she had 2 children, but there was no baby damage remaining). Avril was the only one who offered BBBJ to start, not trying to upsell to offer it. I always find that asking them about their kids helps make as much of a connection as one can make in 20 minutes, and the session with Avril was great, she really worked up a sweat in CG, as did I in mish and doggy.

I spent the rest of my time sightseeing, and combined with the hobbying, and the heat, had very little energy left for anything else. Anyway, I hope any fellow bargain basement hobbyists reading this report will find it useful.

JFC. Sounds like heaven on Earth. I see BAQ in my future. Great review.

[YankeeFan]

I forgot to mention that I checked out Makumba Bar and Tierra Paisa. Not clear to me if you can have a session there. I went 2 times, once at 7:30 PM and once at 4:30 PM. I feel perfectly safe in SF in Bogota, but I did not feel safe after dark at these 2 places. I suggest only going if you are with a local, and, still not clear if you can hobby there.

I've stayed in Hotel Dorado Plaza Barranquilla. Cra. 50 #82-148.

Good internet and decent breakfast.

Wyndham Garden Barranquilla. CL. 87 #47-88.

Decent internet and good breakfast.

In the Prado area near Parque Washington is pretty good, safe. With some nightlife (bars, restaurants, a casino or two). You can get taxis, InDriver, and Ubers from there to the girl clubs. In Medellin I get airbnbs, but in Barranquilla hotels are fine and usually fairly open to bringing back girls.

I told you to download Indriver. You act like you never stopped at the natural gas station in the taxi in Thailand.

Yes, I did listen to you; as always. Before I left, I did download the app and set up a profile. When I arrived, I opened the app and nothing seemed to work, after 15 minutes of trying, I gave the fuck up.

As far as Thailand, I have only taken private cars from BKK to Pattaya. So, no, I have never taken a taxi in Thailand.

[PoonyD]

As always great report Tom. Appreciate you and most of tge others on here sharing with the rest of us.

This section of this trip report covers basic information about Santa Marta and Barranquilla!

I have been to a few cities in Colombia, such as Cartagena, Medellin, and Cali, but I still wanted to visit a couple of other cities. This trip was split between Santa Marta and Barranquilla, three nights in each city.

Once again, I used World Travel 69's maps for both locations. I also consulted my travel friend, Mr. Enternational, and he filled in some missing gaps; always helpful.

Travel insurance:

I purchase travel insurance from Generali Global Assistance for around 160 bucks. Why? During these times, "Quien sabe?" I search for the policy that best fit my needs on Square Mouth.

[The Cane]

Good. Don't come back or tell your friends to go. LOL! More for Mr E and Me.

.

I'm with Tomjackin on this one. When it comes to Barranquilla it was one and done for me too. Not down with Barranquilla.

Logistics:

Flight:

I flew on American Airlines, from San Diego to Miami, and then on to Barranquilla. The return flights were reversed.

Barranquilla was home base and I went on to Santa Marta from there for my first three nights.

Migration Form:

When I was checking in my bag with AA in San Diego, I was asked for my Migration Form to enter Colombia. I was not aware of this form and started searching for the website. This is the website: migracioncolombia. Gov. Co.

It is called CheckMig. There you need to fill out the immigration registration form 72 hours before your trip OR up to one hour before. It took me around 10 minutes to fill out the form and submit it. Once I did, within a few minutes, I received the document in my e-mail box. I showed the document to the AA agent and off I went to the security checkpoint. I did the same thing when I was leaving Colombia, but no one asked me for the document.

Immigration / Customs:

I blew through immigration and customs in Barranquilla around 1 pm. It took me less than 10 minutes to clear both.

Money:

On the Oanda exchange website, the exchange rate has been over 4000 to 1 for awhile. But, of course you will not get that rate at any exchange place within the country.

In the Barranquilla airport, there were two money exchange booths right next to each other. The exchange rates were not listed on neither one. Thus, I went to both of them and asked about their rates. One quoted me 1 US for 3600 COP and the other one quoted me 1 US for 3650 COP. It was an easy decision.

The next day in Santa Marta, I went to one of the exchange places in town and the rate was 1 US for 3800 COP. When I returned to Barranquilla, I just used ATMs.

To simplify things for me, I basically divided the prices in COP by four.

Weather:

It was hot and humid, but I knew that before I left. Every now and then, it rained like cats and putas.

Communication:

I now have the T-Mobile Go5 GPlus55 plan; no worries whatsoever.

Spanish:

I heard very little English spoken in Santa Marta and a little more in Barranquilla. If you go to those cities to conduct business, I'm sure more English is spoken. But if you are just a schmuck like me, chasing chicas and eating the local cuisine, there are very few English speakers; especially in strip clubs, casas, and all those other dirty places we visit.

Thus, if you plan to travel to Latin American countries, I highly recommend that you learn some Spanish. It is not that difficult and it opens up a whole new world!

The rest of this trip report is strictly about Barranquilla!

Welcome to Barranquilla!

It is a large city with very few monger venues. There were not a lot of things to see and do, except to see their famous church, the one that looks like a small sports area!

Transportation:

I mostly used Uber during my stay. I did use a couple of taxis, but once again, they were clueless. Friday night, I was in Bar Club and I got a text from a bar girl and she wanted to meet at some hotel. I wrote down the directions and headed to find a cab. In hindsight, I should have called an Uber.

There was a taxi in front of the big bolted hands. I showed him the directions and he said no problem. I got in the cab and at the same time, he walked away! He went to a street food area, stayed there, and never came back! WTF? I was frustrated, got out of the damn taxi, and went looking for another! Yet again, in hindsight, I should have called an Uber.

I found another taxi within a few minutes, but this time, he seemed to know where he was going. Off we went and he said he needed some gas. We stopped at this crappy gas station. The gas attendant opened the hood of the car. Then he pulled out some sort of probe and put it somewhere under the hood. The probe looked like it was nuclear, nitrogen, hydrogen, or propane. Either way, when the process started, the driver and attendant both yelled at me to get out of the car! My first thought was I would be dead in seconds, and no less, die a crappy gas station! But, I feel better now.

NOTE: I used Uber when I returned to the airport and it cost $18.

Logging:

I stayed at the Four Points Sheraton. Nice hotel and I had a great room. Was it girl friendly? Absolutely, I brought in three escorts without any issues.

Restaurants:

I did a lot of research before I left and I was hoping to find local cuisine such as, ajlaco soup, chiguiro, and lechona. However some of those dishes are regional and I had trouble finding them. I did go out to some restaurants and here are my thoughts on the food scene:

Cucayo Very good local cuisine.

Donde Mama Good local cuisine.

Palo de Mango Outstanding.

Pepe Anea. Excellent.

Matriarcia Very good, but the band was better.

Monger Venues:

Strip / table dance clubs:

In each club, I asked several questions and did my best to write the answers on my trusty note pad. Thus, if I am wrong with any of my notes, feel free to chime in with the correct information. I wrote down the prices of the cheapest beer and ficha.

Club: Siglo X.

Cover: None.

Beer: 40,000.

Ficha: Same.

Sex: 150,000 for 20 minutes, 300,000 for an hour; WTF? I am still trying to understand the price reasoning.

On Site: Yes.

Number of Chicas: OK to good.

Quality of Chicas: 6.

Night / Time: Thursday /10.

Comments: This was a good size club with some decent looking chicas. It was a down & dirty place located in a bad area; not worth the stop.

Club: El Templo del Amor (less than a block from Siglo X).

Cover: None.

Beer: 30,000.

Ficha: Same.

Sex: 100,00020 minutes, 200,00040 minutes, and 250,000 for an hour. At least their prices made some damn sense.

On Site: Yes.

Number of Chicas: 6.

Quality of Chicas: Doable to OK.

Night / Time: Thursday /10:30.

Comments: This was a smaller club and the volume of the music and the darkness were issues. I could not hear anyone speaking and I could barely see them. I made the mistake of buying a ficha and it was a horrible interaction! I did not stay much longer. Again, it was a down & dirty place located in a bad area; not worth the stop.

Club: Pleyclub.

Cover: None.

Beer: 200,000.

Ficha: Same.

Sex: 420,000-30 minutes, 800,000-an hour, and the 6 hour takeout price was off the hook.

On Site: On and off.

Number of Chicas: 6.

Quality of Chicas: Very good to very hot!

Night / Time: Thursday /11:30.

Comments: This was a nice smaller club. I had hottie plop down next to me and she was very friendly to say the least during her first drink. After I bought her a second drink, she asked me if we were going to the room. I kindly declined. At that point, her attitude went to hell in a hand basket! I fell in love during the first drink, but during the second drink, I thought of a country western song and cried my eyes out like a damn two-year old child. But I feel much better now!

Club: Bar Club.

Cover: None.

Beer: 150,000.

Ficha: Same.

Sex: Only after their shift. How much? I never asked.

On Site: No.

Number of Chicas: 6.

Quality of Chicas: Ok to just better than OK.

Night / Time: Thursday /12:30.

Comments: I was walking around that big bolted hands looking for Makumba bar, which was closed. However, Bar Club was open (they are next to each other). I went in and there was a very long bar with tons of stools. It turned out to be a hostess bar and the girls were very friendly.

I started buying cans of Smirnoff Ice and all hell broke loose. The girls started bouncing their asses like it was some sort of completion. A couple of girls upped their game and dropped their panties; I was a happy camper! I wanted to pull two girls out of the place, but I was told it would have to be after their shift at 2. I did not want to wait until 2, thus, I left. BTW, their shift ends at 4 on Friday and Saturday.

Other bars / clubs:

Because I only sought out the clubs on a Thursday night, maybe some of these clubs opened later OR were closed that evening.

La Hojo: We drove by this club around 11 and it was sealed shut.

La Troja (near La Hoja): The club looked like it was half destroyed OR pretty messed up.

Makumba: Closed. Their last FB post was in March 2020.

La Orquidea: Closed.

Murillos: Closed.

El Tunel de Amor: Could not find the place. Their last FB post was in November 2018.

La Roma: Gay club.

LOS Prados: I may have missed this place or was too tired to go.

Once again, if I am wrong with any of my notes, feel free to chime in with the correct information.

Spas / Massage:

I did not get a chance to visit any of them.

Street girls:

The areas were behind Bar Club and the big bolted hands. At night, I only saw a butt-load (pun intended) of trans. Me thinks going during the afternoon would be easier to find dickless street girls.

Escorts:

I pulled in three escorts from Mileroticos. One asked for 150,000 and the other two asked for 180,000. All three were very different and I completely enjoyed my time with each one. None of them were clock watchers. Maybe that was because I had tasty adult beverages in my hotel room.

Tinder / Glambu: I wasted too much time on both apps! There were many responses, but no one followed through. I am done with those apps!

Final thoughts on Barranquilla:

It was a seeking putas and eating great food trip. I thought the city was safe and I never felt threaten in any manner. Would I ever return to Barranquilla? No! But only because of the lack of adult venues. Also, there were not a lot of things to see and do in the city. However, having said that, I still had a good time exploring Barranquilla. It was a large city and I was hoping for the best. But after one night, I ran out of clubs to visit. Would I recommend the city to other mongers? No!

Como siempre, Solo mis dos pinche pesos, por supuesto!

That place is really bad. Fellas BAQ is not for everyone. The strip clubs scene is weak, so if you planned to go to a strip club and make it rain you will be disappointed.

All that being said I love BAQ. The Regular girl, the casas, decent restaurants. It's not MDE or BOG. Totally different vibe. Stay away SIMPS!

There is only one Bar Club, and it is not a disco.
