Bogota Reports

[Igor54]

Nearly all these clubs closed defenitively during covid lockdowns as in this neighnorhood it was too expensive to keep paying the rent for a closed business. Lido and Olimpo are still open and a new one opened just in front of the former location of La Piscina del Norte. My opinion is that Covid just ended definitively these clubs that allready were killing themselves with outrageous prices. If you want an upscale club, try Club La 49 instead on Carrera 13. They manage at least a fixed price scheme and don't try to take advantage of gringos.

Hi Routard,

Do you have any fresh info on casas? There two casas that advertise on photopepagos. There is a maps / locations down the page. Pics are good but it looks like too many nice girls are there, which is a little suspicious. What is your opinion?

My paid account expired in Oct 2021 and after that I didn't renew my membership. Does anyone know how can I sign up for Woodman Tour. Thank you.

You need to renew your membership to be able to PM Woodman.

Or (too late) you needed to do what many people on this forum do. Ask questions, write useless "atta boy", and write BS things you read from here and other sites, in order to increase your post count. Then you become a senior member with PM privileges.

There are 2 members here that wrote incredible, helpful lists / maps with all the necessary information. That is what I used when I first came here in 2017. But I admit I was very scared when I first came to Santa Fe. It was exciting and exhilarating though.

Woodman is a cool cat, and he will hold your hand making it very easy.

Thanks for the info Routard.

Would you know if they have English speaking staff there?

Try this one: Nanxing Spa: https://www.nanxingspa.com.co/.

It is so upscale that you could visit it with your wife, she would believe it's a regular Spa. Great line up, full service one hour is 200 mil as far as I remember.

This is from 2 weeks ago. I was in zona T so decided to check out some of the northern clubs. From what I read there used to be a bunch of them on calle 86 a, but instead of finding clubs I just found a bunch of empty construction lots and parking spaces. Similarly both forms of Lalos seemed to have closed down. Was guided to a place called Blue House on Carrera 14 and another called Olimpo. Went inside and it was about 6-8 girls in each place but they were both completely empty (I was the only guy there). Seemed pretty sus so I just left each place without asking prices. This was around 8 pm so maybe that's why it was deserted.

I didn't find the girls at the places that attractive, and was kind of disappointed with my "northern club" experience. Copacabana and Lido from what I understand are still open, but I didn't go.

Just touchdown at Bogota with safe and sound. Its raining and I'm on my way to my hotel now. Would like to check out Santa Fe later on. Wish me luck and hopefully I won't get robbed. I really want to meet Woodman but I don't have bitcoin and only stay here for three days.

On Cr 7 and Cll 22 is Casa Rey which has a big main restaurant and 3-4 others in same building-- sushi, burgers, pizza, bakery.

Just South down the street is Las Torres a good BBQ-- There are 2-3 other BBQ restaurants in the area.

Also Asados on Calle 23 and CR 7.

And Florida is a good traditional white linen restaurant across from Los Torres on CR7.

Good bakeries with food on Calle 22 South of CR7 La Cometa is one and there is a nightclub across from it that has a good restaurant too-.

All have decent prices.

Big thanks for the intel senhor Woodman! I'm going to try every one of these in the next few days.

You don't need a Woodman tour, but you'll want it. He saved me so much time, money, and headaches by showing me the ropes of the area. After the tour you'll be so much further ahead than if you just tried to sort it all out yourself. Time saved is money well spent.

As far as paying for the subscription goes, the easiest way I found to pay after the headache of getting my coinbase account locked twice was this:

Coinbase app, sign up and buy it with a debit card. That's the only payment option for instant access to your Bitcoin.

Thanks very much for this information. San Peter makes good impression to me, but many people write at the booking sides that music is loud. So I guess I will try out the Dorado 70.

Perhaps this should be in the Medellin section, in case anyone is looking for these places in Bogota.

[TooRop88]

Just a suggestion if you do end up booking the ibis museu. There is an excellent restaurant about a 1-2 minute walk from the hotel called gostino's. I've been eating lunch and dinner there everyday since I've been in Bogota. Relatively priced phenomenal sea food dishes and more. Promise you won't be disappointed.

St. Peter, it's not really hotel but it's girl friendly only minus is loud music. I found it through airbandb like most of the places I stayed. Never in hotel. People say Dorado on La 70 ta is girl friendly, try that. Good Luck.

Anyone know if Hotel Saint Simon is chica friendly?

I have had no problem bringing normal chicks there. I don't know about hookers. Just have to fill out the sheet at the desk and show ID.

Nice report. I am also thinking to make a reservation at the ibis Bogota-museo hotel. One question: Do they have a safe in the room? I would only let a girl in my room if passport, money, creditcard etc. Is in the safe. Who knows what these girls are doing when you are at the toilet and they are alone. By the way, you said you were also in Medellin. Can you also recommend a girlfriendly hotel there? Best regards!

I paid her rate (50 k) for 20 min (already gringo rate)

Seems confusing to me whether that is actually the gringo rate. I went onto some of the local Spanish forums and they were talking about how between November / December the prices all shot up significantly. As an exapmle, I was talking to a local and he mentioned the price in Troya was 70 k last time he went. But on the Spanish forum they're all mentioning how the average went up to 90/100 k.

Similarly a lot of reports there mention 50 k for girls on the north stroll (on the south stroll seems different).
