Cartagena Reports

[Rzrfl69]

Yah I'm aware that's why I'm even purging #s already from before.

Shouldn't really discuss an amount of time with the girl. That's where a lot of you guys are going wrong. I'm feeling prices are the same as ever. This will be my 8th trip there I believe.

Always use ATM. Why would you ever exchange in person. Always will get charged more.

[Nypher]

Today I've been purging the numbers I have gotten from tinder over the past month. My trip is about 3 weeks away. Girls change numbers. Leave. Etc. Also chatting them up and getting a feel for what they are into etc.

Most girls are quoting 400 k without me even asking. Some have brought up 100 $ or 120 $ and they are 9 and 10's. But I counter in chat oh pesos only. Can see when I'm there. Don't discuss now. And already down to 500,400 k.

I think you just need to know what you're doing.

Exchange rate hovering around 4800. Let's gooooo!!

Allot can happen to these girls in 3 weeks especially if you do not have a history with them where they know you won't flake on them.

Down to 500 K, 400 K for what exactly? An hour? If its an hour that on the high end.

Exchange rate is hovering around 4800, yes, but when I was there last month the exchange rate was close to 5000 and the cambrios didn't want to budge pass 4300, unless your plan is to pull cash out of the green ATMs with a no transaction fee debit card I would not be too excited.

Just a heads up, if hollywood Beach is your thing the beach construction pushed everyone to kiosk #4 so its hella crowded so the annoyance is increased, even the begging kids are there along with the trans.

Uber is great, just be warned at night they will cancel allot if you are going from Centro to El Laguito or Boa Grande because they know they will not get a fare to go back.

Stay safe, enjoy your trip and I would advise you to be off the streets before they set up the police checkpoints. I learned the hard way.

I never heard of those apps. Rather just stick with Uber that I know and use.

I agree it's about the quality of who you're with.

My regular is going to fly in a week before me. Do some scouting. Get a few numbers for some trios. Can't wait to be there!

Be cautious with any Venezuelan that you meet in the clock tower area no matter how nice they may seem when you get them back to your place you don't know what's going to happen don't pay them in advance go take any chances and if you can make sure that security will not let them out unless you come with them.

I recently met one there that seemed to be quite pleasant and when she eventually turned up two days later was apparently pimped out and a really bad experience which cost me $60 to get rid of her but could have been much much worse. I know people are not always down on the beach experience with the truth is the same girls are there almost everyday and that's not a bad thing as things are getting a little bit more tense here.

I strongly disagree. The Venezuelan girls give less problems than the Colombian girls because they don't want any dealings with the police. If your going to get robbed or drugged it's going to be a Colombian because they will likely not face any repercussions. OP maybe it's the quality of women you deal with and not the nationality that's giving you problems.

I do plan on doing only Uber this trip. I've never used it there. But I like it's a random car each time and you know exactly who's picking you up.

Why Uber instead of the cheaper Indriver or Didi?

[Rzrfl69]

Been watching plenty of YouTube videos on Cartagena. I'll Be there in a few short weeks. Love catching up on the vibe before I go. Also been reading lots of local.

News and it really sounds like they are cracking down on issues. And seeing a lot of police presence in these YouTube videos.

I do plan on doing only Uber this trip. I've never used it there. But I like it's a random car each time and you know exactly who's picking you up. I plan on making my nights earlier. In by midnight maybe.

As far as these you tube videos and these guys posting about girls in ctg, are they that naive!? Oh we are sitting at an umbrella and the guy brings some girls over. We had no idea after hours they were pros. You kidding me!?

I'm looking forward to going. I don't expect much different from my other trips.

Bottom Line with Venezolanas to always keep in mind: These girls are scared and desperate about day-to-day survival having fled hopeless circumstances of no fault of their own obviously, in homeland.

They are unwanted, received no functional education in the current Venezuela schools, (especially girls). Again, they are unwelcome in Colombia. For context, Venezuelans are not allowed in Panama for any reason. Other latin american countries have similar absolutist restrictions. These girls are very far away from their loved ones Many, even from their own very small children back home. Colombian girls generally despise the venezolanas. Do Not try to mix them in group date or party. The 2 groups of women may seem interchagnable to foreigners. They are not "apples to apples". I've had some good times with venezolanas. I even had one stay at my place in Medellíand for a couple of months. This is not a warning against Venezolanas. Just to help all to be more aware of who you are dealing with.

What?? Disappointed with these reports I'm reading. Returning to CTG after a long time and looks like things have changed for the worse reading these reports. Should I bring a paisa with me from Medellíand or should I brave the clocktower and Dolce Vita? These weekend billionaires killing the game.

Appreciate any advice on where to get girls and things to do in Cartagena. Would be good to find a wingman to hang out with too.

Read through numerous site reports, seems to be loads of punter scams. Prefer to learn from my fellow mongers, rather than stumbling through my own mistakes.

Have been mongering for decades & fallen prey to almost every scam mentioned in reports (in one country or another). Fairly street wise now but still occasionally ruled by the smaller head, rather than the one that can think. Best to get myself somewhere where both heads are happy & aligned.

Have travelled to a number of South & Central American countries over the years but 1st time in Columbia. My Spanish is pathetic, usually get by with pantomime & google translate.

or 200 k to pay for child keeping (don't know how much people pay for child keeping in Colombia but definitely not 200 k) or any other excuse to make you pay.

30,000 per day for babysitter. I was trying to meet up with a chick in the Dominican Republic a couple of weeks ago. I think I was $200 in the hole before ever laying eyes on her. $20 babysitter, $20 taxi. Bih I can't afford to meet you!

Funny how it costs out the ass for them to leave the house to see you, but if they are leaving the house for any other reason I doubt if costs are stacking up the same.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share my experience since I have been looking at some reports here that were useful.

First about myself, this is the 3rd time I come to Cartagena, mostly to practice kitesurf at la Boquilla during winter season for 1 month of holidays (when there is a lot of winds so it's a pretty nice spot) and with girls (either dating through Tinder or working girls) as a second "hobby". So I know a little bit of the scene and how it is working out even though I am not an expert. Since I am located a little bit outside the city (la boquilla is approx 15 min taxi from the center) I try to get girls using either websites (skodda, photoprepagos, mileroticos), dating app such as Tinder, or just on the real life directly in the clock tower / bars when I have the occasion to go in the center, a feedback on the different channels:

- real life: I have went once looking for girls on the center, usual spots, I didn't find a lot of pretty girls roaming around the clock towers so was quite disappointed. Then I went to Dolce Vita (which even increased their price for a beer, that must be the most expensive place to get a beer in Colombia) where there was a lot of girls, some were quite good looking, but all had this "I don't give a shit" attitude when I asked for their numbers. First time I get this feeling that the girls almost were not interesting? I feel like they are more interesting into guys that are a little bit less straightforward, probably because they feel like it will be easier to charge overpriced from less experienced guys? I although went to Space Club but the place looked quite depressing and the girls were all fat and not that good looking. In total I think I got 5/6 numbers from the streets and Dolce Vita, and when trying to discuss price I got quoted from 100 dollars to 200 dollars all speaking in dollars with minimal services. And none of them were ready to significantly negotiate the price below 400 k pesos even though they propose very basic services whereas from my previous trip I remember not having a lot of difficulties to negotiate 200/300 pesos for the hours. I believe that they don't have problems finding guys ready to pay the full 100 dollars price so they don't want to bother themselves with a 15 min taxi trip to my apartment.

- prepagos websites: was able to negotiate way better with quotes at around 200+taxis (I think girls working with internet are more willing to move around so it is not so much of a problem that I stay in la Boquilla) but it comes at the price of the usual fake accounts / traps / tricks to get money out of you, typically the very looking girl who charges below market but then demand you to prepay something with PayPal to "book" her. These are usually quite easy to spot and avoid. What is more difficult to prevent is the risk to get a girl that ends up being significantly less attractive than in their photos. I ended up meeting 3 girls, and so that you pretty much get the odds: one very good experience (pretty girl with good attitude), one average (girls that looks a little bit worse than in the photos but still good), and one bad (different girl than the photo, I suspect that there was an "agency" making the communication with whatsapp and the girl was not available so they just sent another one, the girl was not ugly and I was surprised so I did not refuse the meeting which is probably what I should have done).

- dating apps I think there are 3 king of profiles there:

- regular girls for non-paid dating: I met several but that is not the point here.

- working girls who will normally straight up say that they are looking for money and make it quite obvious. I met 2 which were 2 good experience. In the end I feel it to be better than websites since usually they don't use agency and you directly speak with the girl.

- "semi working" girl. They will not disclose that they are looking for money but when you want to meet them they will say that they need money to pay for medications (cause they are sick and need medications to get better so you can meet), or 200 k to pay for child keeping (don't know how much people pay for child keeping in Colombia but definitely not 200 k) or any other excuse to make you pay. Of course I completely avoid these profiles as you don't know at all what you are getting and I even if you pay for whatever they are asking you to meet I suppose if you want any sex they are going to find a way to ask even more. Another "trick" which I didn't really understand that happened to me 3 times is that when setting up a meeting the girl is saying that she is with their cousin and if they could both come together. Out of curiosity I almost said yes just to see what trick they had prepared to try to get money, but in the end I chose the safe way by not going through.

In summary, price seem to be increasing, and it seems to be more difficult to get a girls with decent service and good price, not sure how to explain it.

Hope this feedback helps some of you!

Just a quick report.

Last night on the way to El Laguito the cops set up a check point why that police station where El Laguito and Boca Grande meets where the road changes to 1 way.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/No1C7hmy9MZEcCLp8?g_st=ic

Now, stupid ass me was walking around with $600 while constantly procrastinating on changing it out cause the rate was increasing and I was parting with one of my chicas and her friend till 2 am. I also had about 500 k in pesos.

We took a taxi from Getsemeni to El Laguito, 4 Cops pulled over the taxi and told all of us to get out the car. Patted me down, emptied my pockets and they saw the money, took both girls out the car and searched their bags. While I'm in the back of the taxi by the trunk being searched another cop searched the back of the taxi. Came to me and said "problema". Shows me a bag of white stuff and said coca. Now I don't do that shit and none of my girls do it as well. I already know where this shit is going, my girl starts arguing with the cop, they take my ID and both my chicas. Since they both Venezuelan they threatened to take them to Migration, but I know my girl here legally since she have a Cedula and the other have a Venezuelan ID.

I asked them where they found it cause it wasn't on any of us and they said in the back seat. I already know where it's going.

I pull one cop aside and start negotiating to make it go away. My girl over there arguing crazy loud with the other 3 cops. Then they arrest her and her friend and and said everyone is getting fined and going to jail. I pull my girl aside calm her down, pull the cop aside start negotiating again.

They said $100 per person. They after I paid they had the nerve to say they are letting us go because we are good people. SMH.

Don't be me, let my $300 extortion be your lesson.

You are a wise man, Nypher. You handled the situation well, and getting out of that situation for $300 was a bargain.

[PerkinWarbeck]

Can confirm I'm getting quoted 100 - 150 k from the young chicas on Skokka. Mileroticos is much the same. I don't bother with the clubs or downtown in general anymore unless it's for ice cream.

Happy hunting!
