Cartagena Reports

[Nypher]

The welcome has been worn out. It is legal in the sense that 2 adults can meet up for sex in exchange for money. It is not legal in the sense that you can make banners advertising it, lead tour groups, and have tons of people meeting in the town square making deals for it.

Yes. That stunt the travel group Paradise Lyfe pulled back in August when I was there was beyond unnecessary. I kept seeing familiar faces but it didn't hit me until I saw this guy at the clock tower wearing a Paradise Lyfe shirt. Then someone mentioned they made flyers for a Delirium meetup, SMH.

I heard that same group did the same shit in Brazil as well but can't confirm.

Then there is the youtube crowd constantly filming and posting things online about it, advertising for everyone to see.

How are we to work around this? I just made plans for the third week of January. I love Cartagena but hey, there is more attraction with the girls there. Do you think they will go online like in Mexico City? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Hate to spend money to change flight plans but will if the sport is gone.

I thought prostitution is legal in Colombia so I don't understand this.

This looks bad. I'm all booked for the second week of January. Just did it a few days ago. Is this just for show? Isn't it legal if no pimping is involved?

Although its legal, its limited to certain areas and brothels. But others factors are taking place blurring the lines. There are supposed to get tested regularly and since there are many Venezuelans coming over no one can keep track. Police don't really enforce it but things are changing.

El ministro de Defensa, Diego Molano, dijo que se identificaron tres puntos críticos al interior de la ciudad amurallada, donde se ha identificado turismo sexual y que serán vigilados por las autoridades.

Looks like they know the three spots inside the walls AKA the Pussy Triangle "Clocktower, Space / Dolce, Delirium". I strongly believe this is due to the uptick in increased sex tourism because many of these mongers can not get into Asia to monger so they are going to Latin America. Getting into some areas in Asia required all kinds of crazy stuff like Vaccinated and negative test, buying COVID insurance, etc. I don't know if these are still required but those mongers looking for sex are just going to go to places that don't have restrictions like DR and Colombia but when they get there for the first time the the girls can smell fresh meat and empty their pockets like Dublin12.

This may actually be a good thing, maybe after this the new chicas I approach will stop telling me 800 mil and come back to their senses jajaja.

Hey,

Thank you guys sincerely for the information and feedback.

In one comment, yes I agree should be more specific.

I have visited Medellin and Santo Domingo before. It would be my first trip to Cartagena and I really just wanted to make sure I did not waste a trip.

As far as quality of girls, I would be looking for top notch, spending money would not be the issue but also I am not trying to raise the rates of business LOL!

Medellin and Santo Domingo I had a great time in both places. Cartagena would be new and just wanted to see if that's where I should go or just revisit Santo or Medellin.

Other than cheap sex, what are you looking for? What's your style for pursuing this hobby? Are you a morning, afternoon, evening or late night guy? What climate suits you? How's your Spanish? Are you going low budget, or will you be partying like a rockstar?

Put together a list of things which matter to you and then figure out which location best meets each item.

If you read the threads you will find plenty of people who made the decision based on the opinions of others, and didn't enjoy themselves. When you come up with specific questions, that's when this place can give good answers.

Thinking of heading to Cartagena, will be first time. Can anyone give me their opinion on is this the best place to come for the hobby or Medellin? Other option will be Santo Domingo, DR.

Thank you in advance.

Here is my opinion. Or actually its probably going to be some rambling musing on the subject -.

If there was no prostitutes in Colombia but someone offered me a free vacation in either Cartagena or Medellin. I am going to choose Cartagena. If I was only going to prostitutes and both cities were the same then of course I would choose Medellin. A comparison of the number of reports from each city and you see that most mongers choose Medellin.

Even though Cartagena does not have a nice beach, I still enjoy getting an apartment that has a balcony overlooking the ocean. I am also a big fan old shit so I like the old city and the narrow streets that wander through the colonial spanish architecture and visiting Cafe del Mar to watch the sun set over the ocean from a hundreds year old battlement. I like the festive atmosphere of some of the popular plazas like Domingo Plaza in the old city or Plaza Trinidad in Getsemani.

The difference is that if I were strictly going for prostitutes then Cartagena girls are five times more expensive by a than the street walkers in Centro area of Medellin. Even though I mostly just do FB chicas and they cost more than the SWs, I usually get more time for my money that the average girl gives for the same money in Cartagena. That goes without saying that there is in my opinion a pretty good concentration of gorgeous hookers in small area in Cartagena. In Cartagena without any previous planning or preparation you can concievably walk into La Dolce Vita and be surrounded by beautiful women that you can fuck for $50 - - same may happen in places in Bogota as has been reported -but the abmbiance there leaves something to be desired and the weather is just downright cold compared to Cartagena.

Medellin is the City Of The Eternal Spring. Because the weather is almost always around 80 degrees fahrenheit. It is the Godlilocks weather. If Bogota is too Cold (and it is) and Cartagena is too hot / humid (and it is) than Medellin is just right. Also as a bigger city there are a few areas that are crowded with restaurants and bars for La 70 and La 33 in Laureles come to mind but I prefer the area in Poblado east of Lleras Park in Poblado.

In reality these days I spread my time between both places. I do Cartagena first or I do Cartagena first and then Medellin and then back to Cartagena for a day or so then fly home. It depends on whether I find a significantly cheaper flight going to one city over the other. If it is summer time and hot here than I would rather start in Cartagena because the heat doesn't seem as miserable. Then it is such a relief to hit that perfect climate in Medellin with no humity. But if I start in Medellin then that heat and humidiy are just that much more oppressive. So that is an example of preference driven by weather for me.

Thank you in advance.

First time, you should head to the best place of your 3 options listed. That is Medellin hands down!

I've been to all 3 of your options. Stick to Colombia, and Colombian chicas! I do, Luvchicas.

Much has been written about Colombia, read up.

Any opinion isn't going to help you much. However, for most people, I don't believe they would rank Santo Domingo over Cartagena or Medellin.

I really do enjoy reading your posts. If this posts narrative had a title it should be Fear and Loathing in Cartagena. If you are too young to get the reference its a reference to the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro based on writer Hunter Thompsons and a drug and alcohol fueled stay in Las Vegas. And I have had my share of such adventures.

Keep having fun and be careful. Sounds like the locals are just straight up punks.

Thanks! Hunter Thompson is a legend. Yeah, I was surprised that happened in centro. Is usually pretty safe there.

Recently stayed at the Ermita Hotel which is about a 5 min walk to the walled city or a 10 k cab ride. The hotel had all the amenities you could ask for. The Gym had everything you could need for a good workout I. E Treadmills, free weights, smith machine, yoga mats, & bicycle. The best part was security was very welcoming to our guests. We were a party of 5 and each night we paraded 5-6 women after hours and they let them right in after taking their info down. The security even wanted to hook me up with a Chica he knew. I'm pretty sure he would have taken a cut of whatever was given. They even helped order pizza / wings around 3 am. Overall the staff is very accommodating.

Funny to read this since I read the book during downtime on my first trip to Colombia in '73. Way too many drugs for him then and for too many guys now especially when in foreign territory.

[Mojo Bandit]

She really pissed me off. Long story. So I told her to go home. I'm not feeling all this anymore. Anyways got very drunk. Lots of lyrica and hydrocone in my system.

So each drink hot 5 time harder initially. Ordered 3 pina colodas with extra liquor shots at clocktower pub. Then drank a few bers each one hitting my like a tank. I stumbled out of pub tripping up. Was seeing double a bit.
