Bogota Reports

[JjBee62]

Tried many online websites like Las nenas Bogota escorts but when you search for massage republic, you get babes from local SPs like this one! Or lacelestina etc. Have variety and fairly truthfull phtotos, Rates vary fro 55-110 usd depending upon what is on menu, anal or not etc. You multiply by 4500 soles for a usd! Most are petite short Some agreed for anal with extra rate, while all of them visited 5 star hotel for very comfortable experience. All had flat tummy, small (32) boobs except Gabriela which were 34 , ages were typically betwern 19-22. Tried Gabriela colombian white ,3rd is tanned brown Anny, from Massage republic Bogota, Gabriela, From LA Celestina, Beatriz cordoba 280+200 anal, not so skilled in anai as Annie who was best in her stout athletic body form with good coperation for anal!! Annie from Eroticas Bogota 200+ 150 but paid 500 for 1. 5 HR of anal only, athletic body brunette, cooperative, she twice came, hanna, white younger 19 yrs from same eroticas Bogota, and not so skilled in anal, paid only 250+ 25 + 25 for her innocence, she was really curvy but not that athletic as annie, and quiet immature! From same eroticas Bogota Lucia Came, anal was not sought to save money 220+ 25 + 5 tip.

You might want to divide by 4500, currently by 5000, instead of multiplying. 200 k is $40. If you multiply, you get $900,000,000 USD, which is a bit out of most people's price range, even if anal is included.

- EVERY single waiter will scam the tourists. I don't think that is an exaggeration. Some are worst then others.

- Numbers are from last year. With inflation as high it is, it might have changed a little bit.

- My friends and I went to the strip club near Troya. We had 3 drinks. Waiter charged us 40 K. Way too much. Since my friend paid and didn't care, that waiter scammer will do it again.

- We went to Troya. We had a few drinks plus a drink for a girl. It seems the prices are the same for us and the girl. He tried to charge us 80 K. Since I was paying, and I cared (not about the money, but the principle), I went to the bartenders. They are usually honest. The price was 51 or 52 K.

- At Troya last year, the price for a Corona was 22 K. Some guy said the waiter charged him 40 K. Yes, you got ripped off.

- California seems to be the worst. Again a waiter attempted to charge me 15 K for a beer. A beer that probably was 6 or 7 K. I don't trust the bartender at California. The bartenders at Troya and Venus are honest. The waiters at Venus aren't that bad. They "only" tried to charge me 8 K for a 6 K Poker beer. LOL!

- I tip, but I hate to be scammed. I don't see locals tip for 1 beer. Is that the norm?

- I think the waiters get a commission for each drink they sell. Maybe 2 K? One method I tried is to tell them upfront, I don't pay 100% tip, but I will give a 2 K tip. Most / all waiters should be ecstatic for a 2 K tip for 1 drink.

Riding Transmilenio you need a card that you buy in station for 6-8 mil and then you charge it up-.

Sometimes I have forgot the card and payed another passenger to let me use theirs at the turnstyle.

It's about 3 mil to ride.

Not Crowded if you ride off peak-- Certain buses stop every stop and others are express and may go for miles without stopping-.

Usually the stops are listed by the designated door for that bus-.

Some buses are less crowded during rush hour sometimes 2 of the same bus will come close together.

There is musical and dramic entertainment sometimes-- Also Buy Candy!!

There are many routes going all over so you have to know where you want to go.

Going North on Carracas use buses with a be in them.

Going South from the North Autopista-- you want stops on Calle 19/22 / 26.

If you are taking the Transmilenio line Carrera 7 the stations near Santa Fe are SanDiego and Las Nieves.

A guy I know got robbed early in the morning at Calle 19 -- they robber climbed the platform-- but it was very desolate-.

I have gone all over and never had a problem-- Every ride is a scene out of Narcos.

Also there is an app with all you need to know. Search your app store for Transmilenio and SITP. It shows all the stations, all the routes, plus all of the SITP bus routes which go where the main lines don't. You can punch in the station closest to where you're staying and where you want to go and it will tell you which routes to take.

The Transmilenio also provides a couple of options. If you're staying near the airport, pick a hotel close to the Portal Dorado station. A short walk to the station and it's a quick ride to the Calle 22 station, no transfers or changing buses.

Or, if you're traveling light, get on the SITP bus at the airport for Portal Dorado, where you can catch the bus to drop you off close to your hotel. For example, Hotel Ibis Museo is right by the Museo Nacional station. No traffic, no taxistas, just a quick trip and you're ready to go.

One more hack. Pick a hotel or apartment close to the TransMilenio and you can almost completely eliminate the need for taxis.

My first time in Bogota I spent a few hours riding each of the lines from end to end. Midday most of the buses were nearly empty. You'll see a lot of the city and you'll notice a strange thing. Stores in Bogota are grouped together. You'll see 3 blocks where every business is a hardware store, or a bicycle shop, or a lighting store.

- Info from last year. Should still be the same.

- My friends and I went to a club during the weekday, about a mile north of Zona T. I'm guessing it was Olympia, but I didn't check the name. Regardless, all the clubs seems to be the same.

- We got there around 1 am on a weekday. Not that crowded. But at around 2 am, it got a lot more crowded.

- Some people say that the same girls who work Santa Fe work at these type of clubs. Probably correct in which the same type of girls work at both places. But I'm a half empty type of guy. IMO, the same type of marginal girls who work at Santa Fe (the best of Santa Fe) also work at the northern clubs. Most of the girls at that northern club were marginal. In my engineering Bell curve, I saw 1 girl who I would consider a 7, maybe an 8. Most girls were 6's. But those people who think that Pattaya Beach Road has 7's and 8's, will think that all the girls are 9's and 10's. More power to them!

- The base price of beers was 30 something. But they add a service charge and IVA (VAT? of 18 or 19% WTF? No bar / restaurant adds a VAT). Each beer was around 50 K.

- When you pay here, or the girls, or similar type of places, pay with exact change. We paid, expecting to get around 20 K or 30 K change, but waiter did come back for couple of minutes. My friends didn't care, so we left. Since we didn't care, shit like this will happen again.

There are many routes going all over so you have to know where you want to go.

I recommend you install the smartphone App "Moovit". Very good transport app in many countries around the world. Definitely good in Bogota and Bangkok.

Taxi from Bogota terminal (satire): he tried to overcharge at the dropoff. For 132 taxi units, he said it is 25 k pesos. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a fare conversion chart online. When asked for a fare chart that should be behind the passenger's seat, he said he forgot to bring it.

I recommend the smartphone App "Calculadora de Tarifas". It calculates the meter units to pesos. Plus the additional surcharges for night (2000), Telephone (800), Airport (4200), and Terminal (500 pesos).

The 132 taxi units should have been 11,200 pesos, without any surcharges.

Bars and Meseros.

Guys quick update. I'm mid 40's and speak Spanish.

Texas and California does hire lots of meseros. They can seem overwhelming at times. I am super cool with them I actually helped one of them move to the US. And as cool as I am with all of them, I still don't spend much time on those 2 clubs. Unfortunately they are extremely mismanaged. And yes outside they can be annoying however once inside sometimes it's hard to get someone to get you a drink because they are outside being annoying. LOL.

My opinion is don't feel threatened by them or anyone else in a uniform from any bar. Unfortunately it's the culture there. It's extremely annoying at times and really unprofessional in my opinion. But when in ROME...

Also try to carry 10 mil bills when you go out to these places. Getting change there is a pain in the ass, specially earlier in the night. They don't have a cashier. The mesero is responsible to try to get you change. And if all you carry is 50 mil bills that can sometimes be a problem. The bad apples will try to see if you forget about your change. Or who even served you. Same applies to later in the night if you're drunk.

Many great bars have gone down hill due to bad management PAISAS and piscina the perfect 2 examples. They have great location and facilities. But no brains.

There are several new bars opening. There is a cozy one right by the entrance of California, on street level. I met the owner he seems to be doing things right. Should be a good place to watch World Cup games. Pink night club is far from being ready. And the black building where JOIA used to be is under construction as well. Except the guy who rented out the place and was remodeling it, is currently in jail. So who knows when that project will end.

Also. If you find yourself questioning why are all these places like this?? Why doesn't someone break the mold? It's because one lady owns most of the bars on the lower street. From ATUNES, VENUS, FIEBRE, TROYA, A'TONYS. Something like that. And yes California and Texas is the same owner as well. Also a lady. Her father left her the bares when he passed away a couple years ago. He seems to have been a well known and respected man in the neighborhood.

Hope this helps. Stay alert. Be respectful don't be a pushover, and don't make yourself a target by flaunting money around. And you can have a great time. The hunt is half the fun!

It depends on the ATM you go to, I usually used Colpatria / Scotiabank because they charged the withdrawals in Pesos and my bank would do the conversion plus fees, Now they changed it to you having to accept their exchange rate, plus an extra 15 k exchange fee.

So when I withdrew 900 k last week, it would normally be around 185 after my bank conversion plus fees. It turned into 197 with the new one.

Unfortunately, I still think that's the best I can get considering they will let me withdraw 900 k in one go, max I've seen at other ATMs is 500 k so even if they did charge in pesos, the fees ID get from multiple transactions will kill what I would've saved.

Never used those banks before so thanks for the good intel my fellow hunter, I'll give them a shot. Doing my pushups and warming up with few days to go.

[Marxh]

Got a girl who wants to exchange for clothes. Since I don't know the prices of clothing, how should I approach this. She wants shopping, should I just put a cap on a shopping spree? What have folks done when it's not money.

Thanks.

Currently in Bogota. Exchange rate is higher than ever! I exchanged dollars at 4750. Amazing. Santa Fe is better now than it has been in years. Seems like things are getting back to normal.

[TooCheesy]

Boots on the ground in SF next weekend and I just checked the exch rate and fuck. It's 4938.75 COP right now to $1 USD. I thought I was balling last month in mde at 4200 COP / USD. Anyone did an ATM withdrawal recently if so what's the offered rate? I know sometimes if rejected you get slightly more but never the full amt that Google shows.

Anyho can't wait to be back to my fav spot despite all the recent negative posts and the ocean-size massive tearful mommy I'm lonely cries lost my puta and won't go back to SF shit LOL. Woodman hope to bump into you soon man for a beer and a gangbang lmao.

After dozens and dozens and years of trips in Bogota I took my trip on the transMilenio. OMG never again. Last week in Bogota may have been the wettest I've seen in years in Bogota. As most of you know when you need to travel in the city during rush hour it is bad but rush hour +Torrential Rain and it's a nightmare. Taxis and Uber were useless from the Cra 11 why 94 in Chico Norte as traffic was stand still. So we walked to the bus and to the TransMilenio was our fastest option so reluctantly, I agreed. . My girls mom was in the hospital for her kidneys. San Carlos hospital is good distance south of Chico Norte for me and with each stop along the way more and more people pushed their way into the car, to the point there was not room for a news paper between us and they kept pushing their way into the car, to the point I started giving people shit about it. My girl tried to calm me down but I was pissed, to the point we almost couldn't even get out at our stop because everyone was so jammed in. The further you travel south in the system the more crowded it gets because less and less people who live in the south can afford taxis or Uber so the last resort for most are the very dangerous buses and the over crowed TM system. As I'm sure you have seen buses why the TM packed from a distance as they drove by from my view from the taxi but it's a whole different perspective when your in there all the way into the south of Bogota. If it wasn't for her mom in the hospital, I never would have went in the first place, I don't do mass transit. Today she wrote me on WA as I'm back in the states now that shehad a dream we were in the TM together. I told her that was not a dream, that was a nightmare.

I was taking the private dann carlton car or uber from usaqueen all the way to Santa Fe and stopped going because the trip took so long and some drivers were afraid to go there. And was expensive 9 sort of) then I took the TransMilenio. Yep crowded as hell. Cost 50 cents and only took 15 minutes Vs. A friken hour during rush hour in an Uber. But I don't think I would take it at night. LOL.

You picked the wrong time of day. I've been there, both on the Transmilenio and the Metro in Medellin. There are 2 important tricks to learn. First, when it starts getting crowded find one or more pretty girls to stand next to. If you're going to have bodies pressed against you, might as well be nice and female.

The second trick is to start working your way towards the door, 3 or 4 stops early. At each stop, you shift position by a few feet. When you reach your station, say "disculpe me", lower your shoulder and make like a running back trying to get across the goal line.

There's no sense in getting angry about it. At times it's inevitable. Enjoy it.

I once waited 45 minutes for a train in Medellin. Breakdown in the system stopped all trains. After 15 minutes leaving was next to impossible and I began to worry about the platform collapsing (Estadio station). When trains finally started to arrive I waited until the 5th one before crowding on. There was absolutely no room for any more people when we left the station. At Suramerica station somehow another 20 or 30 got on. At Cisneros, when more were pushing on, someone said something I don't recall, but the whole car busted up laughing. It's only a short trip from there to San Antonio, but it was all jokes and laughter the rest of the way.

If you can't change a situation, find something to appreciate. I appreciated that I'm tall enough my nose wasn't pressed into someone's sweaty armpit.

Hi,

I have been trying to grow my facebook list of girls. I'm up to 6 and some of them don't live in the right places. Can someone drop link to a Bogota girl they has friends I could add. I know it's supposedly harder in Bogota get Facebook girls, but I still would like to try. Hopefully I can break the code and find a way to use FB as a resource to acquire GFE. Any help is appreciated. 24 days until my trip and it is crunch time to find 5 - 10 possible girls (I know some will flake). If you guys have a fake facebook account with some girls on your friends list and you don't mind sharing that it would also be a help. Thanks in advance.

You're doing better than me. In over 5 years, with over 2,000 girls added, I think there are 4 from Bogota and 2 of those are just online girls (won't meet). Since I spend very little time in Bogota never needed to dig in what's a mostly dry well.

If you want to use Facebook you are going to the wrong city. It's not a big thing for prepagos in Bogota. A few years ago you could find Bogota girls on Twitter by searching "prepago" and "masaje. "
