Cartagena Reports

[Member #4258]

I've decided to go to Boca Chica, Dominican Republic for a week. I'm going November 7-15. I've been there 5 times already, this will be my 6th. Plenty of good looking women, low cost for women and hotel, cheap airfare, quick flight, walking distance to the beach. If anyone is interested in coming let me know. Henry R, this seems right up your alley. I think you should come and join me. I'll be traveling solo.

How's Boca Chica for safety? I might be interested.

I've traveled all over Latin America. I've been to Cuba, DR, Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico. I'm looking to go to Colombia but have some concerns. First of all, once and for all, if I am traveling alone, should I be concerned about danger. Does it feel dangerous when you are walking alone during the day and or night?

Secondly, as far as getting women is concerned, which spot in Colombia is the best for getting women, and which is the cheapest? Cartagena, Medellin, Cali, or Bogota?

Thirdly and finally, I've been reading about the prices for women in Colombia and it seems that if you are paying $50 or less, you are getting a steal. This seems outrageous to me. In Panama, you can go to bars where you can bang hot COLOMBIAN women for $10 for 10 minues. Yes, $10 for 10 minutes and they are Colombian and they are hot. So in reality, shouldn't I just keep going to Panama? Why even bother going to Colombia which has more expensive airfare and seems to be more dangerous? Maybe I'm missing something. Please help with any info.

Where in Panama $10 for 10 minutes? It's still $60 and hour. I can tell you places in Thailand where you can have a girl all night for 500 baht.

That's $15.

I keep going there girls in Cartagena are about 100 each all night for hot ones.So so looking at beach 50 bucks.

Medellin Fase II sucks now.Low end casas aren't none too pretty but I am a snooty fucker.Mansion girls and Loutrons now are better looking but 80 bucks or so.As far as those college girls that people continue to talk about I wouldn't have sex with those girls if they paid me!Mansion girls are mostly in college way better looking.I would be staying there now but no one responded to my emails so I am at the Holiday INN EL Pablado.Energy probably has best quality of cheap casas.

Cali the casa girls are ugly but there about what 25-40 bucks only one casa in Cali has good looking ones and is not listed here its a secret between a few of us.

I would stay in Panama I have done CTG,Mde,and Cali all in last 8 weeks.If your on budget stay in Panama quality is probably better anyway.

I'm going to Panama for 3 days and will check this out. This is the first time I've heard some say Panama quality is better.

Any apartment recommendations in Cartagena? I prefer a studio or one bedroom, not expensive.

Does anyone know anything about General Cartagena Apartments, their website is Cartagenaapartments.com --- Their prices seem OK.

Thanks

Hi,

I joined a dating website recently, lots of colombian girls there, and I have to say I have never seen so many girls with such large breasts (ok maybe I have, but it was 20 bucks a dance! Has anyone else noticed this about Colombian girls or is it just the sites I end up at?

Cheers!

Andy

The plastic surgeons stay busy down there.

Girls somehow find the money to enhance their assets.

Many consider it an investment.

There are maps in the List.

Hotels and Apartment in Bocagrande and El Laguito is on or near a beach. There is not any beaches near the Old City.

Most of the clubs are in the Old City, except LDV. Which three blocks from Hotel Playa. I believe you can bring chicas into the hotel. But there is also a Love motel two or three doors from there.

1) Is the Hotel Playa in the Bocagrande area of Cartagena guest friendly? Are bar girls allowed in rooms? Allowed for short time or all night? Must pay extra for guests? How much? Any info is appreciated.

2) Is the Bocagrande area of Cartagena out of the way, or in an OK location? Is it close or far from bars or beaches?

Thanks

To Dave 7613:

I had the same concerns as you, but from what I read Cartagena is fairly safe and has action. I may be willing to pay a little extra for safety. I am hoping to arrange it to be in Cartagena for a total of three weeks in late November and early December, to avoid the heavy rains. Dates not yet set. I'll be travelling alone. Let me know if you want to hook up in Cartagena.

2) From what I am reading on this site the cheapest decent apartment or hotel room would cost at least $80 US per nite in Cartagena. Is this true? I usually don't like to go over US $50 per nite when I travel. I don't need luxury, but I don't want to stay in a dump though. Anything decent in Cartagena for under $80?

Same here! I feel the same way. Anything good in the 50-60 range?

Hello fellow mongers,

Some friends and I are going to Cartagena in mid October and I need to know if the Hotel Almirante Cartagena Estelar is a good place to stay. We have all been to Moscow, Argentina, and Panama and now have a special attraction to Colombian women and decided to go to the source! Any advice on this would be VERY MUCH appreciated. I don't want to stay at the "wrong" type of place. It looked very nice from the photos, but I would rather know first hand from some people that have been there. I prefer luxury and convenience, but need to know if they allow chicas too.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

Tommy J.

If you have walked the center of san jose (CR) at night, then I don't see what would be your concern in Cartagena. However, I might be taking through both ends of my mouth, because of my hispanic look and the fact that I speak spanish fluently. If that is not your case that might be different.

As for Medellin, once again, I have seen the sun go up while in el centro. No problems until this day knock on wood. However, I don't drop my guard ever. As long as you keep awareness of your surroundings, it could be like any other city. You wouldn't be bragging about in the middle of harlem or east l. A? Right?

In regards to girls, each city has its difference. Take some time to read through the forums. Cartagena is more accesible for long term. Medellin is more short term. I find Medellin to be cheaper when all the costs involved are taken in consideration. Cartagena is geared toward tourism, and by default, cost is higher. In Bogota, population in general, is more distant. The driving there is an experience to be had. Cali's places are not as concentrated in one sector like lets say for example Medellin.

You want cheap, you can have a streetwalker in degreiff (Medellin) for25 to 30, 000 pesos (15 usd or so). However, you get what you pay for. 10 minutes for 10 usd in Panama? What year was this on?

Once again, I suggest you read through the forums for each city and decide for yourself.

Two questions here. Which is the best? Cartagena is the best for availability and GFE, but it is not the cheapest. I can't say I'm intimately familar with these places, but it seems the Medellin casas and Santa Fe in Bogoto are the cheaptest places. Not my scene though.

<quote>Thirdly and finally, I've been reading about the prices for women in Colombia and it seems that if you are paying $50 or less, you are getting a steal. This seems outrageous to me.

1) Yes, you should be concerned about danger, but Cartagena is the least dangerous of all Colombian cities. Wherever you are though, you need to use your smarts: don't wear expensive clothes or jewellery, don't get drunk alone, note down the numbers of taxis before you get in them. The last point is especially true outside of CTG.

2) I can't compare it to Panama as I've never been. But you can get those sorts of prices in the Medellin casas (and probably other places too). They're usually not HOT though and I'd be surprised if they were in Panama.

3) I personally like CTG a lot as I like clubs, drinking and partying when I'm hunting and there are many options there. But if casas or strip joints are you thing then other places in Colombia will be better.
