Cartagena Reports

[Kafka]

First time visiting Cartagena and I really wanted a 18 year old. Any ideas where to look?

You could luck out at the Clock Tower but most of the girls there are hardened out and there is no "supervision. ". At Hollywood beach the girls are more relaxed and Tony or Pedro knows who they are. The more you establish relationships with the locals each time you go you're going to have a better chance of getting what you want but it's mostly hit and miss depending on who's in town.

Much better selection in Medellin but there's no beach.

Try the clock tower at night. During the day you can find the young ones walking around, often by themselves, that is a good indicator that they are looking for and need some money. Near the McDonalds I have had some luck.

I meet some young girls on my last visit and I can share the contacts with you. Pretty sure this girls will like more clients. You can also reach out to OneFireBoy. I remember he has good contacts especially with beautiful college girls.

I don't understand what is the fascination with tourists and hot water in Cartagena. Whenever I go there I never use it because the cold water is not freezing cold like in the states, its room temp, even in winter months the water is still warm enough.

If you think that's a culture shock wait till you encounter the girls who don't flush when they pee, only when they shit.

Or the sewer smell that comes up from the drain in the bathroom so every day so you have to pour some bleach or bathroom cleaner down the drain to eliminate the smell.

Ill be heading back soon.

Can't wait to read your report.

What kind of places do you stay at? LOL. I've never had that issue with the hotels / Airbnb's that I've booked in several developing countries.

Misc Exchanging USD to COP.

Exchange rate was 3600 at the hotel. Same exact rate as I got in the USA (Chase Bank) to convert $1000 so I could hit the ground running. Stopped at a random exchange booth in the Old Town and they were offering 3650. Hardly worth shopping around IMO.

Use the ATM next time. Get a Schwab or SoFi debit card for zero fees.

I have tried all the Club Colombia beers like Dorada, Negra and Roja. Also there are other beers like Poker and Andina. In Medellin it seems that Pilsen is a popular beer.

I absolutely love Club Colombia dark beers. Excellent beers, better than other dark beers in my book, bar none. Can't find it in NYC, a bummer.

[Mojo Bandit]

Why "surprisingly"? If you come from the country where most people appreciate Michelob and Miller, you should not feel surprise when you discover that outside, also in Colombia, they have better beers! (I know USA produces also excellent brews, delightful, don't take it bad).

Club Colombia (try also the dark one) is excellent with meats. Aguila is a light refresher.

PS: I am surprised, instead, about so much wondering about lollipops, sugar, etc. It was obvious to me that it's just a way for the girls to show their skills with lips and tongue.

Surprisingly bercause I rarely like the local (national) beers anywhere, I certainly cannot say anything good about Colombian sodas inluding the Colombian cola "Colombiana" - some of the Postobon fruit drinks are tolerable but not great.

For many years ago different states in the USA allowed different amounts of alcohol in beer than other states - there was beer called 3.2 beer (it is a measure of alcohol by weight - these days most measure alcohol by volume) and it was/is weak and watery tasting and Budweisser - Miller - and Michelob were around during this time and the ones I first drank were 3.2 versions - yet these stame labels sold 4. We used to drive to the next state over where we could get Heineken and Coors that had more alcohol.

I am not actually a fan of Budweisser, Michelob or Miller, they do not have any real taste. I think Club Colombian actually taste better than those myself, I will take German beer like a Becks (not the made in USA version) or Heineken over those american beers.

I agree with your assessment about them, but for my taste Aguila is too light

[Black Page]

I have tried Aguila and Club Colombia (probably pronounced "cloob": like boob, Colombia), both are surprisingly good, I really like Club Colombia myself

If you want to save money I would recommend to anyone to try some Colombian beers, I have tried Aguila and Club Colombia (probably pronounced "cloob": like boob, Colombia), both are surprisingly good, I really like Club Colombia myself and they are so much kinder to your wallet.

Hi guys,Budweiser 13000. Corona 20000. Lollipops seem to be the norm at Space when I visited. I wonder what that means!?

I read something on here about Colombianas are going through some kind of lolipop fad, I heard something a while back about women sucking on lollipots to keep their blood sugar up so they do not get hungry as a way to prevent eating and gaining weight.

Hi guys,

Very busy with work. So this is just a quick report on my first few nights in Cartagena.

Clock Tower – Sunday – 8 pm.

Maybe a dozen girls. 3-4 very nice. Got 2 numbers. Ended up having a session with 1 of them (Venezuelan) the next day. It was nice. BBBJ and FFS. 200000 COP. The other one was even cuter, but she answered that she does NOT do BBBJ and does NOT kiss on mouth. Oh well, her loss!

Dolce Vita – Sunday – 8:30 PM.

10 girls, 2 guys. 7's-8's. I know it's early, but this is my chance for a drive-by to collect info. A shot of Bacardi is 38000 COP. Add a Diet Pepsi (and tip?) and the bill is 44000 for one drink! Bottle price is 200000 so definitely a much better value. Cheapest bottle available by far. One thing that is different from almost everywhere I've mongered is they do not approach you unless invited. Actually, Panama was same but since it was full of Colombians.

Space – Sunday – 9 pm.

20-2.7's-8's at best. Still very early I know. Drink prices slightly more. 40000/280000 for Bacardi. No diet soda available. Budweiser 13000. Corona 20000. Lollipops seem to be the norm at Space when I visited. I wonder what that means!?

Returned to Dolce Vita Wed / Thur night with similar results. Friday made a point of going later. Arrived 10:30 and left around 12:30 am. Much more activity but didn't see any real stunners. Probably behind the DJ at the "players" tables! Thought about getting a bottle and offering the girls some rum but it's hard when you don't speak Spanish. And I didn't want any clingers. So I stayed at the bar and watched the evening go by. Luckily, I had my numbers in WhatsApp.

Clock Tower – Sunday - 9:30 ish.

Passed by the square again when I left for my hotel and got a 3rd number. She was a 95 pound spinner that took a pounding. Also gave BBBJ. Claimed she didn't have a condom. WTF, am I supposed to BYO? Paid an extra 100000 COP for unplanned FFS with "leche".

Didn't take a girl this 1st night. It was just a recon evening. Had to get back to the hotel and return the calls from my esposa! Working remote isn't 100% untethered! I got what I came out for.

Hotel Ermita (Marriott).

Guest friendly. You just have to register them at reception. I prefer that scenario as it greatly reduces the chances of being robbed / drugged. The hotel itself is decent. Not a JW Marriott by any stretch. But it was a place to work and great location. An easy 10 minute walk to the old town. Air conditioning worked perfectly – not always the case everywhere – and the WIFI was very reliable. Not a place to eat, but for a place to fuck, sleep and work it ticks the boxes.

Monday – After a long day at work.

Texted my 1st Venezuelan friend and had a very nice and relaxing session. Best $52 I ever spent. Kiss on mouth. BBBJ and FFS. Yeah, maybe she would have come for 150000 but she was a doll with an 11 month old baby. So there's that.

Misc – Exchanging USD to COP.

Exchange rate was 3600 at the hotel. Same exact rate as I got in the USA (Chase Bank) to convert $1000 so I could hit the ground running. Stopped at a random exchange booth in the Old Town and they were offering 3650. Hardly worth shopping around IMO.

That's it for now. Left for Medellin at the end of the week. Will be in Medellin for a week. Extremely busy time at work so it's nice to be able to unwind at the end of a long day. The Marriott Medellin is also guest friendly – or so I was told at check in. I'll put details in my Medellin report to follow.

P.S. – In reference to earlier reports of pick pockets, l also have shorts with zippers. Just worked out that way when I bought them. Perfectly suited for the gauntlet that can be Cartagena.

PS2 – Touts were not nearly as annoying as I expected. I just don't make eye contact and keep walking. There was one old guy who sat next to me on a bench in the square when I was people watching. He tried to initiate a conversation in English but I just mumbled "no habla". He told me he lived in NYC for 30 years and you couldn't trust ANYONE down here in Colombia. "Not the fucking Venezuelans. Not the Colombians. Not even the fucking gringos. They are all out to rob you or take something from you. Hey, buddy I was robbed a few days ago, can you help me.". I was gone before he finished his sentence!

[FLBill]

I fly home on Wednesday and am trying to book an appointment to get my covid test. Can anybody recommend one of the services that is friendly for non-Spanish speakers?

Thanks in advance.

[UnknownGuy]

Today I have read this news about a tourist that was robbed at the Clock tower. (There is a video).

https://www.eluniversal.com.co/suces...lces-HM5428999

That's why I travel with shorts that have zippers in the front pockets. I bought them off Amazon and I bought several difft colors. Nobody reaching into my pockets. Most girls aren't aggressive so they must have sensed he was drunk. Those guys you see were are the guys who always hang around looking for opportunities and they got it.

[MongerHunger]

That is assuming the chick is in the know. Most chicks in my travels don't know shit and usually say that I know more than them.

Seems that you were having that problem with a Dominican chica in the DR. I can vouch for that because I was talking with a girl I know that lives in La Romana, Dominican Republic and asked her about going to Bayahibe and she didn't know anything about it and it is not far from La Romama. The only thing she could do is recommend Playa Caleta in La Romana which is in a more urban setting, is rocky and in town. Bayahibe is clearly a better choice and beach. She also didn't know much about travel from Santo Domingo to La Romana. I have had better success in Colombia with Colombian chicas that know how to get around to destinations. Colombianas know more than Venezuelans and other implants in the country.

[Mr Enternational]

When you establish with a chica your expectations to avoid the gringo tax it will increase your chances. It works for me and I am always busy collecting information and Intel from chicas that will benefit both me and her.
