Bogota Reports

[Carlos Miami]

Hello!

I was checking el tiempo.com and in the Vive.in section they had a video report about Galerias Nightclubs for dancing. The Reporter sayed that many women go there looking for a partner for one night. I Was wondering If any of you have gone there looking forn non pros and how did you do.

Thanks!

Technically, I guess that should be posted to Classified, but it is a good bit of info and doesn't hurt the link.

I will drop by and visit it next week. I never think of looking in clasified.

I'm checking out of this guest house on Thursday. The two guys who are renting rooms are american, or at least they speak good english. Anyways, they hooked me up with one of their girls, Lorena. A university chica who kisses on the first date. Sweet! A steal, since she charged me 100k an hour, so I took her for 3. Wish I had my camera cause she was everything but shy. Thanks guys! Hey, I should be getting commissions for writing this review of you. They are the Santa Barbara vip hotel guys that don't charge extra for chicas. The website is somewhere in this thread.

Rates vary but I know for a fact Lorena costs 100k/hr. Others range from 100-260/hr. I think

What are the rate for the chicas? Do any of them speak English?

My point to me writing is I always here about everyone going to La Piscina. Well I went to La Piscina last night. But I have to say, I'm more impressed with Paisas. Yes, it's classified as a strip bar but then there's only a couple of girls dancing per hour anyways. In my opinion, Paisa has better looking chicas and an atmosphere where you can talk. Or if you don't want to talk, you can take the girl right upstairs. Cover is cheap, 2k pesos and that includes a beer. In fact every time I go to Santa Fe, my first stop is Paisas.

Upgrade your membership so you can PM me and let me know the girl's nicks and if possible which studio they work for. I can then tell you if they are trustworthy or not. If they are you will have no problems.

Hello everyone,

I will be traveling to Bogota near the end of the year (first trip to Colombia) and I have made a number of connections with chicas from websites (porno)...we have become friendly. I'd like to go a few places with them, but I have preliminary safety concerns (ex NYC resident).

Does anyone have experience with a driver that I can hire that will get me to places and BACK safely? We want to go to La Piscina together...does that seem like a risk? And a Casino called or at 93 something. What would my relationship with this driver be? Does he come in the clubs with me?

My spanish is excellent, well-traveled...if this were Costa Rica it would not even be a question. Just new and somewhat controversial territory.

I would deeply appreciate some advice from more experienced Bogota travelers.

Thank you!

I guess it just shows how much YMMV. I live here and I can't STAND the ZR and prefer just about anywhere else to hang out.

The condom thing is spot on though, P4P activity is perfectly legal here, but condom use within Bogota limits is absolutely mandatory, or the place could get padlocked. That's why it's so hard to get BBBJ here.

just finishing up a work-week in bogota. i call it a work week, but i neglected to attend a single meeting, so it was really a paid vacation, i suppose. the experience was varied and i attempted to make mental notes of all things for the purpose of this report. unfortunately, i was not able to be here on a friday or saturday night, which would have added more balance. i’ll split my review into two parts: general impressions and specific experiences.

general impression of the city

the city seems like the size of sao paulo north and south, and probably is. the width, of course, is restricted by beautiful mountains that serve to trap the urban sprawl along with the ever-present exhaust smog. the elongated format of the city along with the intelligent grid methodology makes it a breeze to navigate. for the first time, i carried a small compass that helped on several occasions. the tele-milineo is like a train system on wheels, and is extremely easy to decipher. in the short time i was here, i was able to figure out how to take an express bus even when it didn’t stop at my destination, then connect on the same platform to a local bus to complete the trip.

the real local restaurants are awesome. for lunch one day, we sat down to a pre-set meal at an eclectic location in the candeleria area (calle 12 and cr. 5, or so). we were offered two types of soup, salad, chicken or beef, several types of potato, a small dessert, and choice of juices including passion fruit. our total bill was $5. 00us—for both of us!

i found the people busy and friendly, to an extent. my spanish is good enough to communicate, but is tiresome for locals as i have to work extremely hard to understand their end of the conversation and i constantly back myself into a linguistic corner. i would say that the city is fairly safe for the most part. by that, there are few places with gringo visitors, which means there are not opportunistic tourist criminals lying in wait. so, it might be relatively dangerous for the local people, but we don’t draw a premium risk like we do in rio, buenos aires, and santiago. in fact, in my five days, i saw a total of 2 gringos outside of my hotel.

i enjoyed the parks, squares, museums and the architecture, particularly in the candeleria area. the most interesting was the police museum, which was free to enter and included an english-speaking tour guide. if you are wondering how much safer colombia is compared to the escobar era, consider that as many as 3, 000 policemen and policewomen were killed in a single year during the cartel hey-days, then compare that to the last two years when around 100 have been lost. that’s still a high number, but 1/60th of the previous carnage.

from a mongering standpoint, i have mixed feelings. like the many developing economies where there is nearly no middle class, the offerings seem to lack viable mid-priced options. i read every report from the last two years, and 90% from the beginning of the "new" isg. transferred to a word document, the last year occupied 497 screens in "read" mode. i highlighted every reference to a location or provider that i found helpful to my journey. to be honest, the information was more limited than you might think. i know newbies are flamed for not rtff, but you might be surprised how difficult it is to decipher helpful information. i often wish we ran the forum like a large one in brazil: gpguia with a.net on the end. every time a poster reviews a girl, he answers 4 simple questions: positive//neutral/negative overall experience, dfk y/n, bbbj y/n, and anal y/n. then, at one glance you can see the ratios for these answers for an entire establishment, or you can bring up all of the girls for an establishment on one spreadsheet.

anyway, there is no shortage of locations for sex in bogota. there are hundreds of girls on the street in santa fe, hundreds of "massage" or "whiskeria" establishments, and many, many night clubs. the majority of options fall into the first several categories and are on the low end. street girls go from $10, cheap establishments start there also but $15 seems to be the starting point for anything meaningful, and the whiskerias cost around double that including the room. however, all of these places make you feel a little icky. there are few showers for you or for them, the rooms are old, dingy and poorly equipped, and i rarely saw any sheets.

it seems like the prices jump from there. the lower-end places in santa fe cost around $40 plus all of the club bs of buying drinks, exit fees, tips for no apparent reason and the like. the only thing that differentiates these places from the last group is a nicer bar area.

the higher end places described on this forum cost upwards of $100. i went in a place or two like that, but would not consider partaking. similarly, i don’t go to black or madahos in ba, barbarellas in rio, or take the cien girls from the blue marlin in san jose. the difference is, in each of those places, i’ve found viable $50 dollar options that provide everything one would possibly want.

there are two overriding issues: condoms and tips. in fact, that may be my new personal colloquial reference to bogota: land of c’s & t’s. i can tell you that, aside from mexico, have i had more trouble getting an unencumbered bj. i know several posters in this section have reported otherwise, but, at the price point i shopped, a bbbj was elusive. the safe sex education program seems to be extremely strong in colombia, which i suppose is a good thing. still, it just added layers of items to work around.

the second, sometimes related issue, involves incremental tipping or direct charging for each service. this put me in mind of brighton beach, where table teepees described the price in pounds for each service (none of which were particularly inspired, anyway). the idea of paying them extra for daty? crazy, but that happened twice. i mean, i like it, but, in essence, the service is for them, not me. the benefit to me has often been a profound effort in return to make me feel as good as i made them, but the act itself is near philanthropic.

i will say that there is a huge difference between the experience here and mexico. the attempt for tips in mexico is overt and constant, where it comes up as a matter of business imbedded in an otherwise pleasant time in bogota.

the legit social scene is unbelievable. i’ve enjoyed zona rosa and parque 93 immensely, and we heard that chia is a lot of fun, although we ran out of time for that trip. i had three encounters with young, beautiful girls without making a single effort (i should clarify that "encounter" implies talking, dancing, snuggling and trading numbers, nothing more). honestly, i’ve been to many cities in the world, and i can’t think of a better atmosphere than zona rosa.

day-by-day to follow.
