Cartagena Reports

[BigB23]

I took a recent trip to CTG and to MDE. Had a great time. Although not the safest of places. Every gringo we ran into (very few), had been robbed. One of them was shot when he refused to part with his watch. LDV is an easy place to hookup with mostly pro and a few semi pro. The beach isn't very nice. No swimming because the hotels dump the sewage right into the water. We met some nice girls on the beach, with the help of the beach hustlers. We went to a few strip clubs, and casas in very questionable neighborhoods, but had great experiences there. Let me know if you guys have any questions.

Robbed in CTG or MDE only?

In CTG did you try any bars other than LDV? I will be there in a few months and was looking for bar options.

I am curious though if GFE exists or if it's more rare in CTG.

I've only been to CTG once so I'm no expert. IMO, in general, there isn't much GFE. I guess one could pay for a GFE, but the cost would probably be much higher than the other place you mentioned. If you are rolling like this dude, you can get it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNcNMTrg4m8.

How would you experienced Cartagena mongers compare CTG to a place like DR (Sosua)? I have always been tempted by Cartagena, I speak basic spanish and can understand a conversation. I like Sosua because it's closer, cheap accommodations, and GFE has been good. For the value, I think it's great. But I am looking to travel to a new destination this year and have never been to Colombia. I've read a bit on the forums, and from what I can gather Colombia overall might be a little more expensive than DR, but quality of women may be higher (depends on what you're into obviously). I've seen people who visit DR say they love it, and would prefer it over Colombia for various reasons. And then others swear that Colombia cannot be beat. I am curious though if GFE exists or if it's more rare in CTG.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

I am coming with a buddy at the end of June for 10 days. Bummer to hear this, if accurate, as I have been talking up this place to my friend about the advantages of going here later in evening and avoiding the expensive earlier take out at LDV. This will be my 3rd trip to CTG and don't recall any alternatives at this late hour. Any suggestions?

To answer my own post, it was confirmed to me that Paprika (aka Electra) is indeed closed, perhaps permanently. Something about not having the right documentation or permits to be open. A girl from Pereira, who was hustling me at Cafe Havana, told me this last night. I walked by the street later in evening and nothing was going on.

Upon my arrival at the HOTEL Santa Clara / Sofitel, I was handed a piece of paper by the front desk informing me of their strict policy regarding guests. They are not even allowed in the pool area, much less your room. Though when I came to my room around 2 am, I wondered how the security person could discern if a girl accompanying me was a guest or visitor. As long as they are not dressed inappropriately, I think one could sneak someone in.

The usual action can be found at the clock tower at El Centro. Quite a few ladies trolling the area with some young and attractive girls in the mix along with the usual fuglies. The girl I met at Cafe Havana quoted me 300 k pesos for an hour at a love motel. She also was with a friend who offered a trio for an additional $300 k. Since I was not interested in the second girl (gordita), and only marginally interested in the first chica, I let it pass but wanted to gather some info on current pricing. But if I was interested, I could see negotiating later in week to $200 k for an 1 1/2 hour. This is about $106 USD; not including the hotel price.

Any thoughts from CTG experts one might expect to pay in the above scenario?

So, we're hitting Cartagena July 11-16 and just wondered how we're going to manage with girls with only English speaking?

I can't see where the main action is either as there doesn't seem to be any ROD on Cartagena.

Appreciate any help fellas, and if you're around, beers will be put your way.

Lack of Spanish definitely puts you at a disadvantage. If you hit the beach around El Laguito there should be some English speaking hustler types that can help you out with freelancers. Dolce Vita is also over that way and you can hit that spot at night. I'm sure others have much more information, as I have only been to CTG once, but you may have to go through this section carefully and take notes, which is what I did before I went.

Rarely indeed a post deserved a louder RTFF than this one.

If you weren't dyslexic, you may well have understood my post.

Everywhere there is a restaurant or bar. Cartagena action, including work, stops when they are playing. If they win a parade will happen, this is the biggest thing since free blowjobs in Colombia.

You had me at "free blowjobs" LOL.

[LocoGringo]

Hey guys,

Any tips for a bar or restaurant that will be televising Colombia vs Japan on Tuesday? I'm hoping for someplace in either the Laguito or Boca.

Thanks

Better brace yourself. At this late hour, strip clubs might still be open but it won't be cheap. You might find them hanging around the normal clubs like Tu Candela but it is going to be difficult. You might be able to get LDV chicas cheaper and earlier because there is no real alternative.

I was there earlier this month and it was open. Quite busy in fact.

However, I just spoke to a vet there and she said it is indeed closed. I am trying to find the details and will report back.

I have been told that Paprika is CLOSED permanently. They even removed the sign. Is it true?? Why?? What happened? Why nobody reported anything here?

Without Elektra / Paprika CTG is not CTG anymore for me.
