Cartagena Reports

[Starks333]

Anyone know the best location on the Bocagrande for a beach visit? Looking for the best option to see ladies, best vibe, and served food option. Every time I visit, I seem to try a new location on the strip, but never really satisfied. Anyone has good intel on this?

My last Night and Cartagena I Found myself in delirium. I talked to a few chicas and got price ranges from 200/300. But they all gave see BJ's.

Saw a girl that was my look and body type. She came up and smiled at me and kiss me on the cheek. Dammit I must have had her. Yep now I remember. Sorry Mommy can't repeat with you because you give CBJs.

There was a beautiful chocolate one in there. And she was giving me the eye. She was perfect. Too perfect! Sorry mommy I just can't knowingly Do silicone.

Went to the clock tower and watched a silicone Parade. There were some very nice chicas available. Finally something caught my attention.

She was a brown skin Venezuelan. About 56 and 140 pounds. Said she had been there for eight months. To her Cartagena is America Compared to what her country was going through.

We agree 200 and BBJ. Her head game was a 7 1/2. She had energy and was very tight. She didn't mind the ground and pound. She seem to really enjoy that. A solid 8 1/2. I can repeat with her. Blessed her with a dress and her exit fee.

The next day it was either her or nothing. I had others call me but I need an eight or better guaranteed. If not cool, I'm flying to the DR today. I can make up there.

So out of four days in Cartagena; I had two girls. When was OK the other was a keeper. I exchange $400. I'm coming back with less than 150. Will I be back? Yes, maybe sometime this year.

On the other hand, my man Hollywood love Cartagena. Hollywood is a gym rat. He's about 250 of solid muscle mass. He caught a hold of a chica on tinder. Turns out she was Venezuelan.

He told us he think he has met his sex soulmate . He said she went round for round with him without a problem. He said he's never experienced a woman that could match his energy. He had two more sessions with her during our time there. He actually Extended another day to be with her.

Gogo also like to place however, we both agreed we enjoy the DR more. Gogo was planning on being there for a month. He may decide to cut his vacation short. I think he's going to double back to the DR.

Maybe it's because I lived in Boca chica Dominican Republic for two years, but I haven't had any problems with the touts in Cartagena. Boca chica has the most aggressive touts in all the Caribbean. It's all in the attitude and vibe you give off. I walk around like they are invisible and I don't hear them. These guys are trained hustlers and read body language and emotions..

"(necesitas encontrar un gringo Nuevo en tu país. Yo no soy".) you need to find a new gringo to your Country. I am not. Or a very quick Mutombo finger shake And a calm no. Even the Biggers gave up quickly.

The DR has more aggressive touts. Cartagena has aggressive beggars. I swear if they weren't children I would have smack a few for touching me. But I didn't experience no real issues this time.

The entry questions are designed to give them information and draw you into their trap: where are you from?, I remember you?, my friend and my brother are the entry setup. Just looking at them is all they need. Getting agitated falls into their plan, they got you.

It's funny because I was sitting with my buddy yesterday at an outdoor cafe in the walled city and every tout went to him and never to me even though I'm sitting right next to him. He said damn why are they fucking with him and not me. I explained he was paying attention to them and then he felt he owed them an explanation. Saying I don't have money, or I'm sorry but I just brought something only adds to their game which is to get you to talk and sympathize with them. Nice guy shit don't work.

I guess it's hustlers code, because I don't see or hear them so they know I'm up on their bullshit and leave me alone.

Yes, that s what I experienced. Very difficult scene at night, just not fun in the street.

And with the proliferation of boomboxes on the beach it's become extremely noisy. In fact it's noise all over town something that they're trying to take steps to deal with but I feel not very successfully. There's actually a number you can call to complain about the noise but don't know what it is.

I got no problem with the existence of touts trying to make a buck. I agree that this better than crime, better than doing nothing, better even than just begging. I have bought drinks, I have bought craft jewelry, I have bought hats and sunglasses, I do have a problem with all of them who do not know how to take no for an answer. I have a bigger problem with the fact that they have grown more and more intrusive.

I have been going to Cartagena for over ten years and it was never as bad as it is now. Not all of these people have anything to sell either. I was negotiating to pick up a cute blonde off a bench in Plaza de LOS Coches and while I was trying to negotiate a price and services with the chica I had a guy in my ear interrupting me trying to get me to buy jewelry, and then there had been a kid about thirteen years old sitting next to her starts telling me that she is his chica and I have to pay him so I can take her, he follows us all the way from the benches across the plaza, out the gate under the clock tower and down the sidewalk to the front of the taxi que yelling that I owe him money. So I tell her to translate and I say to him: since you feel so strongly about this we should probably let the police decide and I point out that there are some just up the sidewalk, then I mention that pimping is illegal in Colombia so he might have a harder time explaining why I owe him money to the police. Then we just get in the taxi and leave.

That's not someone trying to make an honest living, that's just a pest. The guy trying to talk in my ear while I was trying to negotiate with the chica never stood a chance of me buying anything from him. Too intrusive. I had similar experiences when I was trying to take photos with my DSLR around Plaza de San Pedro Claver, I would be trying to focus in with the camera to my eye and people would interrupt me. It didn't used to be this way.

When they go from being assertive to being intrusive to the point of being almost aggressive and they are interfering with what my actual reason for being there is they cross a line, I lose any desire to support their efforts.

Thanks for your opinion on Rincon Del Mar. Another poster here did not think highly of it but from what I have read previously and your comments, there are hints that it might be a hidden gem. However, a quick Google travel time inquiry stated it was 2 hours, 18 m from Cartagena. Google agreed with your stated drive time to Mompox from Cartagena with a 4 HR 55 m drive time. A bus does not sound like a good way to go there in that event. I can just imagine the condition of the bus. What do you think a private car would cost? If I rented a car, are the roads safe to drive for a tourist?

Mompox is a destination not very visited by foreign tourists, the only access route is by land and it is about 5 hours from Cartagena, but I do not recommend going by bus, preferably renting a car or take a private service would be a much better option for safety, on the other hand, Rincon del Mar is a small fishing village, located on the western part of the Caribbean coast, 4 hours from Cartagena, Rincon is a hidden paradise. There are different hostels and two slightly higher standard establishments, and also the San Bernardo Islands are only 45 minutes away by boat.

Regards.

Friend, as I explained to you on WhatsApp, that day I had an emergency and I had to leave the city, I hope to meet you the next time you return to Cartagena, you are always welcome and as I told you this is not my business I only try to help them have a good time in my city.

Regards,

Onfireboy.

No problem Sir. I hope we get a chance to meet.

Your information is good but your reliability is in question. You send me a photo of one girl and I said she was nice. You never responded after that. That was three days ago. I'm not mad at you good luck in your " Chica / gringo connection business.

I appreciate the information and hospitality. Unfortunately I'm unable to PM on here to get your contact and take you up on that offer.

No problem, Any information you need just tell me here, no PM is needed for that.

Wondering if anyone here has ever strayed to Mompos or Mompox during a visit to CTG. Obviously, not a mongering destination but I have read it's a beautiful little town and one of the 'pueblo patrinomio' designated villages / towns in Colombia. I plan to come to CtG and stay a few weeks and looking for some other diversionary activities whilst in the area. Also interested in going to Rincand Del Mar, a beach town south of CTG.

The prices vary according to the girl but for the whole night or all day on a yacht in Cholon, they are between 300 K and 500 K COP, my advice is that the night before you go to Cholon, try to meet some girls establish a mutual connection and thus be able to obtain a much lower price, and if you can stay with her from the night before it would be ideal if you are interested I have contact with some university girls that you do not find in pages or discos or in the clock tower and It could come out at a better price.

Mr Gogo. Is Colombia still requiring all travelers have a PCR exam conducted 72 hours in advance?

There are no requirements currently to come to this country. Pardon me because you did not direct the question to me or the board.

Hey Adinga,

No tests for entry. But you need a test for entry to America.

I'm curious to know how things would have turned out if you didn't tell her it would be deducted from the agreed price and surprised her with that information at the end of the deed jajaja.

In the words of the great owl. " The world will never find out". I couldn't believe I let someone so petty get in my car for zone. I usually spot those types quickly.
