Cartagena Reports

[Golfinho]

Well, you make a good point Golfinho.

For those that know BA, Argentina, these girls from Paraguay (Paraguayanas or Paraguashas they're also called) , at least IMO, are the best in that city, as far as love and affection goes anyway.

I'd still choose the Brasileira first, followed by the Colombiana, but that's just me.

That's just everybody, not only those like you who need to feel they need to get a little piece of the girl's heart in order to get their hard-on and their rocks off. Always go to the source: the Paraguayana flatbackers doing all-comers in high volume BA venues don't hold a candle to what you find on their native soil, For those who know Paraguay.

Just wondering if things have changed. I used to get girls from LDV. Stayed at Tocahagua.

Worked out at the Hilton gym for free, they always let me in without questioning where I stayed.

I only have 2 visits to BA but do remember the chicas from Paraguay stood out as excellent sessions with affection, performance and lower costs.

I definitely agree with Ricker about the Brasileira being my 1st choice then the Colombiana. I just need to learn Portuguese before I go back again. Until I do, Colombia is my 1st choice for now.

Speaking of the freebe you got that lived in BAQ. I have found that city to have some very pretty women there. The city itself is hot and not that great, but the women there are as nice as anywhere in Colombia. Of course if you must have the real light skined girls then other citys may be more to your liking.

Is IMHO the best hotel for the money in BAQ. 4 stars for 90K and total girl friendly. When I was there last year breakfast was included in the price. Not far from Lusitania, and very close to the college in the North (best section) part of the city.

I wouldn't define it a four stars actually. More like three but nice enough. Also, the breakfast is a total bummer, all the have is some bread, scrambled eggs, orange juice and some nasty looking fruit salad. None of which I bothered with, despite being african-hungry.

Thumbs up about the girl-friendly, absolutely indeed. So much so that I regretted registering the girl too at check in (35. 000 pesos on top) as there was no need at all to do so and the farce of a breakfast wasn't worth a cent anyways.

This was about a week ago. All in all not a bad place to stay at, but book the room for one person only!

[Golfinho]

I personally choose Colombia or Brazil first though because IMO the girls are much more loving there.

Paraguayanas

The second highest rate of inflation in the world. All is sky high compared to a few years ago. Prices in bars, restaurants, chicas, clubs is up 2, 3, 4X! I lived there for six years. Moved 1 year ago to Sosua.

That being said, BA Argentina is still fairly inexpensive because of the favorable exchange rate.

Though I never lived there, I do visit often enough to know that you can find daytime privado fun for

$40 up to $75 for the end places, and I've found some beauties in those higher end privados.

If you stay away from the touristy night clubs at night and stick to some of the less fancy ones, you can find nice chicas.

For $50 to $100 to hang with you from 2 to 3 hours to all night depending how you guys jive.

I personally choose Colombia or Brazil first though because IMO the girls are much more loving there.

Just recently spent a week in Cartagena and wanted to thank Travel69 for the List, Urbanwildlife for his primer, and everyone else for posting their experiences to assist others like me in making it easier during my stay.

Overall I enjoyed CTG although it is relatively more expensive than MDE. IMHO I would rather go back to CTG than MDE because I got to meet Paisas, and women from Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Cartagena, Cali, Antioqia, and Bogota. If you are strictly going as a budget monger then I suggest visiting MDE for the daytime casas which have excellent value.

I stayed at Juan Ventura's apartment in Laguito overlooking the ocean. Only two complaints I had were the pillows were very worn and no Internet access. The next day Juan Ventura provided two new fluffy pillows and a dial up usb connection. However I was unable to use my Magic Jack. I did get a WIFI connection in the hallway and was able to use the Magic Jack then.

I suggest getting to know one of the two local sluts who hang out outside of the area, Sandra and Claudia. I sessioned with Sandra and she is quite the professional. As a bonus, she provides a great massage. 120K COP for the 1st visit and 60K COP for every visit after that. Let her know you want the regular rate after the 1st visit.

LDV and Elektra had the best chicas and if you have the patience and time would suggest you wait till you get to Elektra at 3am for half price sessions.

Rocio casa sucked during our visit there during the day. They claimed to have 40 chicas when I called but when we arrived there were only 4 low quality there.

Los Angeles was a hit as we found a couple of 9's there and sessioned right away for 150K COP 1 hour. We returned and sessioned another day with the same chicas for 100K COP 1 hour. The deal with this place is if the taxi guy happens to hang out there and wait, he gets a 40K COP cut. So just have them drop you off and flag a taxi when you leave. Highly Recommend.

Pleyclub had 2 stunners but wanted too much for onsite. Got a number and tried calling her over the next couple days but she never answered or responded. This turned out to be the norm as most chicas go to sleep late in CTG and sleep all day. We never saw the nightclub chicas at the beach.

We did see other chicas at the beach but they were low quality. When I did find one doable one, she wanted too much for Short time, thus we never sessioned with a beach chica.

The LDV chicas, if we were able to get a hold of them during the day, did session for 100K COP for short time. The average prices at LDV were 150-200K COP for short time.

My best experience was a gorgeous freebie from Colombian Cupid and she became my girlfriend during my stay until she had to get back to Barranquilla.

If you are on a no budget budget you can stay on one of the el cheapo backpacker hotels in the old city on calle

As for me it seems that all the action now is in Buenos Aires and that's where I monger next.

This may slightly off topic. Apologize for that in advance. I tried sending e-mails to book apartments in Cartegena after reading the "Cartegena Apartment and Hotels" section. But I did not receive any responses. Hence I chose to post here.

Can you please suggest where I can book a good apartment quickly for my trip for the end of this week in Cartagena

[Bolman]

Fellows.

I agree with some comments about the attitude of girls in LDV, it sometimes seems that most have agreed on a price and all quote something similar in the high end for short term.

I will try to go again today late (at around 2 am) and see how it works and if not successful will try to make it to Elektra. I live in Bocagrande so LDV is better in terms of transport. But I think, based on the reports, that I should try Elektra.

Will report how it goes.

If anybody is in the area, would be nice to share a beer in either LDV or Elektra.

Greetings

I definitely need to learn more spanish.

Here is the best Spanish lesson I have bought and I have alot of them.

[Mojo Bandit]

Enjoyed your reports, thanks.

You'd be amazed in how much better and cheaper and easier you'd find these chicas if you could actually communicate on a better level with them.

I'm sure you already figured this out though.

I definitely need to learn more spanish, it would be an understatement to say that there are lots of awkward pauses when I am hitting on a girl in Colombia, I have very very basic skills. I don't have a lot of time to study spanish but I am going to try to fit it into my schedule, I noticed that many of the working girls like to talk it up and be social before the deal goes down, and the awkward silences and the misunderstood phrases cause them to get bad vibes.

[Mojo Bandit]

IMHO, when dealing with LDV, and Electra girls I think it is better not to even mention TLN. Most of the time all you will get anyway is around two hours as they have to leave in the early morning for different reasons. If you hit it off good she will most likely stay the night anyway so why start out talking about TLN as it makes her ask for more money right away. If you have her in your room for ST and she wants to leave, you then can offer her some extra Pesos if you like her that much.

For me TLN is reserved for the girls who have proven their worth to me on a ST basis.

I like the idea of a Chica early from LDV, then after my I get my second wind it is off to Electra where the better action takes place.

Mojo, my comments are more directed to Newbees, but maybe you can use some of my ideas.

John Gault; I have only been to Cartagena twice, so I am still a newbie and so I consider everyones advice. When I post I am sharing my experiences, in hopes of getting constructive feedback. So Thank you
