Posts: 363In comparison with Cuba
Cartagena Colombia is much more expensive. Many of the women in Cuba will spend all day with you or basically moving if you want because you are living in such luxury and you can take care of her nicely. In Cartagena Colombia they generally leave pretty quickly. The women who seem to come from Bogota pretty much exclusively clearly more sophisticated intellectually than those from Cuba. The Colombian women seem extremely straightforward and honest. Cubans of all types are deceptive although they won't steal off of your table. But everything they say and do has to be looked at with complete and total skepticism. It's much more relaxed and relaxing in Cartagena Colombia. In Cuba you're in a military dictatorship. To be near the women in Cuba you're living in areas with many low-income people who are pretty close to desperate. Even high income areas in Cuba are filled with people who have virtually no money even if they have very valuable houses. The whole atmosphere there is a bit surreal which is certainly an adventure if you're up for it. But cah Cartagena is much less politically charged and much more stable and that makes things much simpler and happier.

Posts: 363In Cartagena now
I am in Cartagena right now. I'd be happy to get together with anyone who's here as well. Thank you to mojo bandit for all of his invaluable suggestions. I'm working off of a phone so forgive me if there's some mistakes here. I went to see Tony on the beach. He wants 200,000 plus 30,000 tip. There are lots of nice girls on his Beach. You could go over to them yourself and just say Hello,. They probably have to give tony a commission anyway. Most of the ones I spoke to were from Bogota. They're all very angry at the government. I know there is an interesting scene at the clock tower late at night but by then I'm fast asleep. I'll have to go at least once but not right now. I ate dinner tonight at ricquisimo's. I had baby beef which I thought was awful. They're supposed to be a lot of Venezuelan women around but I haven't seen any or at least none that I identified as such. Another issue that you probably should know about is that the exchange rate on the Internet is 3600 Colombian pesos for each dollar but the exchange places only give $3,200. When I use my credit card amazingly I get almost 3,700 so that's a really good rate but you can't use credit cards for everything. My friend has a female friend in New York who is from Cartagena Colombia and she said the way that she does it when she visits is she wires herself money and then she can pick up at the bank at the high rate exchange with no fees. I'm skeptical because Banks live to charge fees but she swears up and down that there's no fees. There doesn't seem to be very many tourists here but it doesn't feel empty either. It's a relaxing place to rest and there's plenty of women of all types. I also sent about 60 messages to women on the internet but I haven't had time to follow that up. I would meet some of them for lunch at crepes and waffles and get an idea who they are. There are a lot of opportunities to meet women of all types. Spanish is an absolute necessity.

I was used to go visiting her for many years, walking back to Centro (1+ hour) after the visit. Some 3 years ago, her phone number stopped to work. I did not go to check, if she's still living there or what.

So I am looking for some inside info. This is why I am on the forum. Google can give you general information about a place or neighborhood but in this instance, there is very little information about this area. With Covid, things have changed worldwide. The restaurant or bar you see on a map may no longer be in business. There may a new place that opened, whether it's a coffee shop or a bar that is not listed in the map yet. Someone else sent me a helpful response that it is a five minute drive to the plaza from Manga. Someone else said it's a 45 minutes walk to LDV? All that is good to know so then I know the approximate cost of the taxi too and not to walk (in general). Thanks to those guys.
As for you. My 'title' says it all.

Seeing how it is a lot of residential people I would strongly suggest going beyond just checking the rules on the Air Bnb web site and suggest messaging the owner to as about having visitors in your place.
From the center of Manga to say LDV is a 30 - 45 minute walk. Definitely further than any chica wants to walk, and also have to consider the heat and overwhelming humidity.

Yesterday, I checked the AIR BNB site and noticed several reasonably priced and attractive units in the Manga area. I also noticed that under ‘House Rules’, several of them did not ban guests/visitors — Make sure anyone contemplating an Air BNB rental to review this section. That being said, I was not familiar with this barrio and noticed it's a bit further out from Getsemani so I guess a taxi is the best way to get back from the plaza later in the evening.
It does seem too far to walk with a P4P in tow. What is this barrio like overall? Does it have the appearance and vibe of El Centro and do a lot of local people still live here? Are there any decent restaurants or bars there?

Posts: 167Hey buds.
Was in CTG last week for 9 days. Everything is pretty normal in Centro. Lots of chicas by the Clock Tower, but I was wifed up with a caleña and didn't partake. Getting the negative COVID test to return back to the US was a breeze. Huge thanks to the gents who posted testing sites here.
I really suggest more guys use the AirBnBs in Manga. Most of them don't have doormen and it is still so close to Centro (8 mil pesos). I did it for a few months last year and I had chicas running in and out with zero hassle. Will definitely return in May.
