Bogota Reports

[Mr Enternational]

For the last few years I have been trying to warn guys on here that Bogota is not the same old Bogota and is very dangerous now. Anyone that tells you this area is very safe or that area is safe is either ignorant of the dangers or so far has had good luck in avoiding problems, having a cavalier attitude in Bogota is going to get you hurt, sooner or later.

But people have always said it was dangerous, at least in the 17 years that I have been going. It is like 5 years ago people saying Bogota is a dangerous place. Then today yes it was dangerous back then, but now it is really dangerous. I guess in 5 more years the saying will be yes it was really dangerous before, but now it is really really dangerous. And 10 years from now the saying will be if you step foot in Bogota you will surely die.

You will never know what girl is working with the robbers, what front desk clerk at the hotel is connected to the robbers, or bank clerk who will give a heads up to the robbers that you have money. TRUST no one. Be especially wary of the waiters in restaurants, front desk clerks in the hotel, bank clerks, cashiers in the casino taxi drivers etc. Etc. They will all sell you out for a few thousand pesos.

You sound like some super spy movie or something where people must run from the evil and get to the magic whatever the hell to save all of humanity. Serious it is commonplace for desk clerks and waiters to be setting customers up? Why the one customer versus the hundreds of others they see every week? Or is it they set up 25% of their customers? Maybe 10%? How does the desk clerk or waiter know what I have? All they usually see is this Amex Platinum come out. Who is whipping out a 3 million peso bankroll for a 25,000 peso lunch or when checking into a hotel? To me this sounds like fantasyland. I have been to Bogota at least 150 times, but I guess my cavalier attitude will be getting me hurt later since it has not happened sooner.

That being said, maybe you are saying this to catch the attention of squares that may be walking around with their head up their ass. In this case I would say yes pay fucking attention, but I would not say you need to walk around shaking in your boots like you are saying they need to be doing.

I am from the streets so being aware is second nature for me. I do not have to think about any of this stuff because it is automatic. I walk around with my hands in my pockets. As a matter of fact when I was walking around with a chick the past few days she kept wanting to hold hands. It was really uncomfortable for me because I do not usually walk around like that with my hand out of my pocket. Half the time she would just have to grab my arm.

If a stranger approaches me there is no need for me to say anything. I simply shake my head no on their approach. Nobody knows you. The only thing they could possibly want is money.

I think we were at Bolivar Plaza sitting on the steps and my girl was chatting with a guy sitting next to her while I drank my aromatica. He asked about me and she told him that I am American. I got up and told her lets go. I advised her to never tell anyone where I am from. Chatting to randoms telling your business is not how I get down.

We left there and went walking. She saw a store and wanted me to buy a purse for her. I gave her the 90K and she ran in and bought it. She came out showing it off to me after having put her cellphone and money inside. I had to quickly pisz on her parade. I said look around. Do you see anybody carrying a bag like this? No. Most women have on the little gym bags like I do. And for god sake get your money and phone out of that thing. Then you guys always wonder why you get robbed so much. You make it fucking easy with this shit dangling and all of your belongings inside. Keep a brush, makeup, and toilet paper in there. Shit that really counts needs to be in your pocket.

I would be a liar if I said Bogota today was no different than yesterday. But I am a downtown guy anyway. I can literally count on one hand the times I have not stayed downtown. Before, you would see people walking downtown at night going to events. They had the theatre open on the main drag. I think where things took a change is when they closed the street off permanently for walking and bicycles. Before, they would only do that on Sundays.

But since, the vagrancy in the area has gotten out of hand. At night time that place now looks like something out of a Hollywood movie set. World War Z or some bullshit. Still no reason for me to be shaking in my boots. Most people are just minding their own business. Last month late one night I even happened to catch a cool street jam put on by some Venezuelans before the police came and broke it up.

Bottom line, I think most people including Colombians would be scared shitless to be downtown. Nobody is saying the city is a safe haven. Are there robberies and shootings happening on every corner of Bogota like it is being made to sound though? No. Mfs are even getting robbed and shot in broad daylight on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Better be careful in that place too.

Nowadays I don't know what is going on but even if you cooperate it seems they are stabbing / shooting for no reason.

It is called practice.

[LatinaLover#1]

Yes, this is unfortunately true and more common in the latest days in Colombia. In the old times when you got mugged / kidnapped, if you cooperated and gave them all the money they wouldn't shoot you. The last sentence sounds like a dystopian world now that I think about it, but it was true, you could even negotiate with the thieves about not taking the whole wallet for example and letting you keep the ID and documents. These were Colombian thieves. I was once robbed like this one guy with a gun another with a knife, I was totally scared and didn't move an inch. They thought I was going to fight back and hit me in the head with the back of the gun which made me wake up and give them promptly my cellphone and all the money I had. But they let me keep my ID. And most importantly, they didn't shoot me.

Nowadays I don't know what is going on but even if you cooperate it seems they are stabbing / shooting for no reason. It's unbelievable and my theory is that Colombian justice is so bad that the Venezuelans criminals know the maximum that can happen to them is to be deported back to Venezuela. When they should be jailed for life for murder.

In conclusion I'd be very careful about going to random places found in mileroticos. The best for security reasons in my opinion is basically to not hire any "independent" prepago. Just stick to the reputable casas, massage parlors and to Santa Fe of course, as I've said earlier thieves go to Santa Fe for vacations not for work. And there is always so many people there that I can't imagine something like the story in the link happening.

For the last few years I have been trying to warn guys on here that Bogota is not the same old Bogota and is very dangerous now. Anyone that tells you this area is very safe or that area is safe is either ignorant of the dangers or so far has had good luck in avoiding problems, having a cavalier attitude in Bogota is going to get you hurt, sooner or later. The current crop of robbers are both Colombian and Venezuelan with the latter being the most dangerous. They will shoot you first and rob you after. You will never know what girl is working with the robbers, what front desk clerk at the hotel is connected to the robbers, or bank clerk who will give a heads up to the robbers that you have money. TRUST no one. We all have this feeling that we are safe in crowds. Forget it! If you have what they want they will shoot you in the middle of the afternoon in Andino mall as they did a few weeks ago. Be especially wary of the waiters in restaurants, front desk clerks in the hotel, bank clerks, cashiers in the casino taxi drivers etc. Etc. They will all sell you out for a few thousand pesos. You can stay safe in Bogota and have a good time but you must be vigilant.

I am not sure if any of you guys on this site follow / read doncolombia.com but I used here and there to get reviews on the chicas and help make a decision on the ones to try. Earlier this month a guy posted how he was 'kidnapped' and 'shot' right after he left a prepagos place by two Venezualan males. Seems they pretend to ask him for directions and then using a gun they forced him into a van. Here's the translated post:

After leaving the site, in the middle of Chapinero, two Venezuelans approached me to ask me for an address, I told them I didn't know and as soon as I thought, they put a gun in front of me and forced me to get into a high-end truck. They walked me around the city and as much as they could, they didn't take money out of the accounts, but they did take the cell phone and about $700,000 THOUSAND PESOS that I had left. That's the least of it, the rest is that while they were walking me, these thugs were talking with a supposed "Alice" or Alicia, a supposed escort who told them that she already had a guy asleep and that she was waiting for them in a motel to "clean him up". The guys, in their inexperience and because of their desire to clean up the other, left me stranded in a place in Fontibn: and then the worst came, not content with robbing me, they shot me twice ... ..

Reminds me, last trip in BOG, went to see a prepagos during mid-morning hrs, when I got there, the entrance was behind a locked gate. There is no buzzer, of course. Called the girl, no answer and few seconds later, two Venny guys rolled up on a motorcycle. They asked me who I was looking for blah blah blah. They walked in with me and locked the gate with a padlock. Felt a bit uneasy but didn't mind. Go upstairs to the second FL to a nearly empty place. Saw the girl in a room, a guy called her, came out, met in the open kitchen area. Went back to the room, those two dudes were just there talking loud as shit, laughing and calling someone on speaker phone. Very uncomfortable experience, room was hot as hell, it was humid that morning. No fans and these two dudes non-stop shouting made the experience awful. Truly couldn't wait to get out of there.

Farc dissidents killed a few people a few months ago when they planted a bomb near a satellite police station in the south part of Bogota, now they are back. Setting of a 'Potato Bomb' in the National University yesterday and today the University is closed to only virtual classes. Not sure if this is an isolated incident or the beginning of a campaign. Best to be alert and be safe.

[Aureliano16]

Hey,

So I updated the map http://colombiasexmap.com/ to include Adriana why sus Golosas and also another site in the south.

I had been looking for "casas" near the airport for our friend of the 4 hour layover and there were 2, but one of them is closed and the other has some very bad reviews regarding stealing the customers so I prefer not to add such sites in the map.

For this guy I think 4 hours is enough to go to Santa Fe, walk, choose and fuck a street walker and go back. But, you need to use Transmilenio. If you go with a Taxi you might risk getting into a huge traffic jam or a protest (last year there were protests all the time in Bogota, and I've read in the news they are coming back this year).

If it's your first time in the city then don't bother, just stay in the airport. This is an operation that needs someone that knows the city and the transmilenio well, the routes are quite complicated since the busses don't stop in all stations and there are also many lines, taking an incorrect transmilenio can mean 30 minutes or more of wasted time. You also need to have a proper card to enter the busses. It's easy for someone that knows exactly where to walk, which bus to take, already has a card, I think that person would not even stress because 4 hours is more than enough. But if it's your first time in the city I'd advice against it.

My girl gets that question at Immigration every time she enters the USA, standard answer is 1 million COP and a Cap One credit and Debt card to access dollars. Never a problem.

[Guerinto]

Did the custom ever stop you and asked you questions about how much money you were bringing in?

I have. Pretty standard question, as others have pointed out. I tend to bring 1-2 million COP in cash and I have my Canadian debit and credit cards. I try to limit my card usage to just my visa with a small limit that I use mostly for travel, but I have the others in the safe, just in case. I buy the COP from a currency exchange place in my city in Canada. Rates are very competitive and I exit the plane with cash in hand, saving me the hassle of finding an ATM or getting robbed by the airport money changers. I tend to have leftover small bills and change I bring back each trip.

Last time I told the customs person that I had 1 million. She said dollars? I burst out laughing! Do I look like I have 1 million dollars cash on me? I resisted the temptation to be a smartass and politely replied 1 million COP. She waved me through.

[Mr Enternational]

Did the custom ever stop you and asked you questions about how much money you were bringing in?

Yes. I was asked this today. This is a normal customs question for anywhere in the world. What are you bringing into the country. I did not know how much I had so I told him 150,000 pesos. The Colpatria machine was being serviced so I could not take money out of that as I usually do. He also asked me if I had any commercial goods. Seems LL should be playing the lotto. There is only 1 time that I have not been asked to put my bags in the xray machine.

Got to the Tequendama Suites and my girl from Huila was already waiting for me. She took the 9 hour bus ride which turned out to be 13 she said because of traffic. I will more than likely buy her a plane ticket to go back though. It was 11:30 and the hotel has a strict policy of not letting you check in until 3pm. They told me this in an email and I thought they were just selling wolf tickets. They were serious though. This along with the slow ass check in process makes this place suck. The rooms are great though.

So me and my girl went next door to eat and after that walked to the cinema. We saw Lost City. I slept through most of it. We walked back to the hotel in the rain and it still took time to get the key although the lady had entered all of our info earlier.

Be careful with this place. When I was here last month the chick I was with ordered room service. The lady that brought the food told me I had to pay cash. Later on the charge also appeared on my credit card. The front desk told me to take it up with the restaurant. Then the restaurant told me to take it up with the front desk. I told her the front desk told me to talk to you. Then she said she would just knock it off the bill we are making now.

Did the custom ever stop you and asked you questions about how much money you were bringing in?

It happened to me the last time when this custom agent asked me something but it was too quick for me to process his Spanish. He did mention dinero and rubbing his thumb against his index finger to indicate so and I reckon he was asking much how much cash I had with me. I just said a few thousand. Either that, or he was asking me for a bribe. I highly doubt that was the case LOL.

Anyway, he made me pass my carry on luggage through the scanner machine before I can exit.

For years it Seems like I had to put my luggage thru the xray every time I went to Bogota. Been thru Bogota customs dozens of times in the last 5 years and have not been asked once to xray despite having a large suitcase and sometimes 2 suitcases. So go figure.

Immigration is a different story. I have a friend who use to work for boarder control and he told me If your passport has been scanned a few times they already know everything about you. The few questions they ask you are test questions to see if you lie to them. Having made 5/6 trips a year to Colombia for the last ten years or so I was asked one time on my return a question, he said "you go to Colombia a lot don't you?" I said yea, I have a girl there. He closed my passport and said welcome home! I'm sure when they scan your passport they know it all. I wrote a letter to the Embassy in Bogota on my girlfriends behalf when they approved her 10 year visa I'll bet everything about me and her comes up for them to see. I've heard some guys say anything about girls and they want to scan your phone why laptop. Not sure what triggers that but telling the truth has been good for me so far.

I've been asked before, but not this time.

The travel gods were with me and I got in the immigration line before it got too long. Only took 25 minutes to get through.

Just a heads-up, they had a couple of people in the line checking everyone's vaccination card.

First money exchange I stopped at told me 3100 COP to the dollar. I walked to the next one and the rate was 3670. Not as good as it was last year, but not horrible.

Went out tonight to bang my favorite club girl-- I usually will get there a bit after she arrives for some quickee fun-- 20 minutes in heaven-.

I think we were in there like 25 minutes or so was Great as usual.

Everything was open, it was a bit slow but there definitely were some hot SGs made the rounds in the North stroll area after I banged my hooker GF.

I hooked up with this super cute 23 yr old white Girl Latina-- Had been looking to smash her for 2 weeks since the first time. My New favorite Streetie Sweetie.

Club situation seemed good for a Tuesday.

Everything was open clubs had some hotties -- everything normal except more soldiers.

There were a few squads of soldiers around and of course some cops. I kind a like the soldiers being around because they are not in the regular shakedown game-- I guess.

I think they are still upset about the rifle being stolen and are showing force? That must have really shook them up.

Ran into an ISG guy who just got back in town, ended up walking around with him-- There are a few ISGers here now will have to have a group trip soon.

Attached is a photo of the club row and the make-up dressingroom at Venus-- Usually when the club is open it is full of naked girls in bright floresant -- tonight just my hooker GF getting ready to return to the floor.
