Cartagena Reports

[LatinFreak]

Where is PP and TLN?

I decided to try staying in El Centro, this trip, as opposed to my usual high rise condo rental in Bocagrande. Six one way, half dozen the other, IMO. It's either a taxi to the beach and back (or in my case, walk halfway to Bodytech, then to Playa Hollywood, and taxi back), or walk to the beach and taxi into Centro at night. I stayed 2 blocks up from the Clock Tower in an AirBnB that was a great spot. A little noisy, but that's to be expected, given the location.

Day 1 (Wednesday)- Avianca decided to leave my big suitcase at my departure airport in the US, so for 10 hours I didn't have anything in Cartagena. Hence, I didn't go to the gym, beach, etc. I went over to SAIL2018, which is an naval thing where big navy sail boats from various countries travel around from port to port. I got a tour of the Colombian ship. Gloria. I just walked to dinner at Bacco Trattoria and had a decent thin crust pizza. I lined up Martina from PP, and she arrived looking just like her photos (face unblurred). Her ass was unreal. A nice way to forget about the luggage ordeal. She wanted 240, including taxi, I got it to 200. I paid her a combo of COP / USD..

Day 2 (Thursday)- I walked to Bodytech, then went to one of my breakfast spots, in Boca Grande. El Palacio de Las Frutas (just off the corner of Calle 6 & San Martin / Cr 2). Just about $4 for a breakfast special of scrambled eggs with ham, toast / arepa, a juice of your choice, and a coffee. It was pouring while I was eating, and I ended up waiting for probably an hour and a half, before I could leave the restaurant and go to Playa Hollywood. There was no sign of the sun coming out, and it was late afternoon, so I ended up just going back to Centro to get some work done. I walked over to Getsemani, for dinner, to a place I read about online. El Arsenal (and Whiskey Box bar). I had pork chops and some handmade cocktails, both pretty good. I think went to Alquimico for a cocktail, and ordered the Morphine, which I hate, every-single-Fing-time, but I never remember because each drink on the menu is so overwhelming, and the bartenders are always slammed, so I panic and soon-thereafter, regret. I ended up checking out Bazurto Social Club, which has a cover (I can only hope it goes towards the live band, because there's no other way to justify a cover charge). It was decent, some people dancing, good service, and some interesting backpackers that were all yipped-up. I perused the Clock Tower crowd, around 3 am, maybe. I found a petite brunette with killer dimples / smile. She was way too tatted, but it was 3 am and I was sloshed. She had a friend with her that was cute, but not nearly the same body. Tatiana & Salome ended up both coming to my apto for 150 each. Of course, they were "cousins" so they couldn't do anything, together. I didn't really care, and ended up doing both of them. Tatiana REALLY wanted my bluetooth speaker, because I can buy it in the US, and she can't buy it in Colombia. It's a no, from me! Later in the trip, I was inviting her back, and she wanted me to pay 100 + my speaker. I just ignored her, from that point on. Tatiana had a nice little body, and her friend had a big juicy ass. Two very different sessions / styles.

Day 3 (Friday) - I went to my favorite little breakfast cafe. Bohemiano (across from Cafe Havana). Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, cream cheese, juice, & coffee for about 4 bucks. Bodytech, which by the way, I bring my ID, my passport, and a copy of my old passport. So, I am able to use a different one each day, and get a free workout. A week-long membership is 105. Then, finally made it to Playa Hollywood. I always use Jhon The Genius (Juan Carlos Cervantes Obeso on FB), and his buddies El Chino (a former boxer) and Pedro. They'll gape you if you let them, but they're good dudes. Set the expectations early: 15.000 for chair / umbrella, 4-5. 000 for beers, and they'll gladly help with the ladies. If you are walking down the beach road (Cr 1), which I don't recommend because of all the touts (I walk down Cr 2 until it ends, then cut over), you will see three white tents inside a restaurant property on the beach. Pass those, make a right at the dirt parking lot / beach access road. Make a left when you hit the sand, and there is Fao's beach bar / restaurant. If you contact Jhon (yes, I know it's John, but I digress), tell him Blanquito sent you. Amazing sunset at the beach this day (6:40 p)! I was exhausted after a long day of drinking on the beach. I ended up getting a "Mexican Wrap" from Clock Tower Pub (See: hamburger patty inside a tortilla, with cheese, and guac / sour cream on the side). I cruised the Clock Tower for awhile, sitting down a few times to scope the scene. I saw a blonde with a gorgeous face / smile, and half her ass hanging out her shorts. I wasn't sure if she was working. She was with some friends (a lesbian, a gay young guy, and another girl). I did a few laps, and ended up getting her attention. She left her friends, and indeed, she was available. I said, "How much?" She said, "Cuanto quieres pagar?" I said, "How much?" She said, "250. " I said, "150. " She said, "bueno. " Her name was Maria, and she was from Cali. Her body ended up not being as fantastic as it looked in clothing, but who am I to complain? Great ass, beautiful face, but her boobs left a little to be desired, and she is a mom. Definitely fun, and passionate.

Day 4 (Saturday) - Checked out a little cafe in Getsemani called Beiyu. I got an acai bowl. They have juices, smoothies, coffee, breakfast / lunch. Decent little spot. A little hot inside, and small, but it's worth a try. Bodytech, then. Finally, some good afternoon weather at the beach! A few groups of good looking girls, in Fao's area. Jhon was pointing out several of the girls, and giving me a little info. I noticed a group of three, two of which were very hot. I bought a beer for the brunette with the amazing, big smile. Jhon got a little intel. My birthday was the next day, so I was considering getting a boat and going to the islands, and bringing some girls. She wanted $200 USD for the full day / night and boat trip. She wanted 200.000 COP for ST. She came over to thank me for the beer, when they were leaving, and I got her number. I got a massage on the beach from Heidy (pink outfit), against my will, for 20.000 and it was damn good. Paula, the girl from the beach, came over around 8 p. Great tits, great F. I invited her to dinner, after, because the connection was so good, and since it would be my birthday at midnight. We were walking the city, and she mentioned Juan del Mar restaurant. We sat inside, it was hot (of course), and there was a live band. The place was popping, and we had a good laugh when we realized that outside, or maybe next door, was Juan del Mar's Italian menu, and inside was the seafood menu. The waitress was nice enough to sneak us a couple menus, and let us order from our table by the band. We had a bottle of wine, and a couple of pasta dinners. I forget the exact price, but it was pretty cheap, given the restaurant's decor, service, and reputation. I got a birthday dessert, compliments of the chef, and the waitress kindly bumped into a fan to aim it at my gal. It was great to have some beef-stuffed cannoli, and stare at her smile / tits. She said she had to go meet her friend, and make some money. Since no one gave me a birthday present, that day, I treated myself to a TLN. I gave her $100 USD + 100.000 COP. She's from Pereira, probably in town for a couple months. Great sex, good cuddle, and she ended up staying from 8 p-1 p, including 3 sessions.

Day 5 (Sunday) - I ended up packing in the afternoon, to avoid any last-minute stress, since I had a flight to MDE the next morning. I went back to El Palacio de Las Frutas, in Bocagrande, for breakfast. Again, it started raining right as I sat down. Eventually, I made it out to the beach. The fellas at Fao's had bought me a bottle of 5-year Ron Medellin rum. A nice touch, considering they probably have a whole kitchen full of that, at home, from over-charging me at the beach. We enjoyed beers, shots of rum, and a good ol' fashioned father-son fight between two employees at the beach bar. The policia showed up to shut everything down, which apparently is common on Sundays, when they want to go home early. I went with Jhon and Chino to a little spot on Cr 3, for some after-work beers and street empanadas. We split a cab to Centro, then I gave the driver money for them to get home. We said our goodbyes, and thank you's (I brought Jhon a hat, and they got me the rum). I wanted a nice dinner, on my last night in CTG, so I invited Paula over, again. We went to Quebracho Parilla Argentina (an Argentine steakhouse on the west side of Centro). Again, I ordered a superior entree than my companion (filet mignon vs some skirt steak looking dish), and we enjoyed a bottle of pinot noir (189.000). The band sang happy birthday to me, and again, we shared a birthday dessert, compliments of the chef. Paula and I retreated to my apt, but unfortunately, as it was night 5 and I drank a shit load of alcohol, I could not finish the deed. This was the one moment when I really needed her to do BBBJ, but that's not in her repertoire. No worries, though. We crashed, and woke up in the morning to my alarm. I gave her a couple little gifts (clutches), and slipped money in her purse. She didn't ask about money, didn't tell me how much; simply sent a photo of the gift I snuck into her purse, and thanked me. Very caring girl, funny, unbelievable smile, good body, and warmed up as the time went on. Oh, and she works under some agency / group, so she definitely has friends, including the hot blonde from the beach.

Day 6 (Monday) - Taxi to the airport, Avianca didn't F up, aside from a delay, and now I'm in Medellin.

Notes: I paid anywhere from 4.000-7.000 for Bocagrande-Centro taxis, and the AirBnB (corner of a major walking corridor, and unfortunately taxi / carriage / etc.) cost $110/ nt. The owner said there was a $10/ nt charge for guests. I pre-negotiated $20 surcharge, which ended up being exactly how many nights I had a slumber party. Although, there is no reason to pay this, because there is no reception / security. The building is called Balcones de Badillo, corner of CL 7 / Cr 36 (Calle de Badillo / Calle de la Moneda) above the Tennis store. Very convenient for trolling the Clock Tower, LDV, Space, Elektra, etc.

Feel free to PM me if you want contact info for AirBnB, Jhon, chicas, etc.

Sometimes when I scan the forum I wonder why the topics for a particular place are so focused on the sexual encounter rather than how to set up that event. I enjoy a bit of porn as much as the next guy, but some scenes are just so easy that the size of her teats or the way she blows is the only real thing to write about.

Such is Cartagena. At least in the old town, or El Centro.

Very well written report. Please keep the reports coming.

100 k exit fee? This must be new. I've been in La Dulce Vida for one drink and left with a chica no exit fee. I think the people there recognize me since I go there every trip. As far I know the chicas in there do not work exclusively for that bar. I've never heard of it. I've also taken chicas from there and gone to Elektra or a normal club to dance.

If they ask you for an exit fee just get the chicas number. What a load of horseshit.

RTFF, It has been reported numerous times in this forum that LDV requires a 100 k consumption of alcohol by the gringo before a girl can leave with him but yes it is a load of horse shit.

[YippieKayay]

My initial impression was this was a freelance bar, where girls would go back and forth between here and the clock tower. Apparently I was wrong, and the girls at Dolce Vita work for the club only. I agree to $200 k for my girl and upon leaving, they try to get me to pay a $100 k exit fee. I refuse to pay and tell her forget it, I will find someone else outside the club and basically walk out. She talks to the bartender briefly and runs after me, basically saying we consumed enough alcohol while we were there that the club will let her leave without an exit fee. Whatever. Anyhow, we go back to the hotel and she was awesome, even better than the previous girl. Great DFK & BBBJ, only disappointment is no anal.

I am new to this forum and have never been to Col however after reading your report I am pumped. You are a gifted writer.

[QUOTE=Linyjo;2183673]It is Saturday and at noon I head to the airport to pick up my girl. She was a friend of a girl I see in Costa Rica who hooked us up when she heard I was going to Columbia. I had offered to fly her in from San Jose but she couldn't get away so she sent me her friends info. I started communicating with her about three weeks before taking the trip. She is a sexy 25 year old, graduated college with a nursing degree and was returning to Cartagena after spending a few weeks with her family in Peru. She starts her new job in a week and I have three nights left in town.

I am a committed DR guy going 5 times a year. However I just discovered that I can fly to CARTA for $300 round trip. So dollars say I should consider a trip. This forum has some great information but I need a little help. What is the best guest friendly Hotel that is close to the action, Secondly I do not like casas so the Tower is more my speed or a disco where pickups are on menu. Help a brother out I am reading the forum but help would be appreiated. I like brown girls and this is why I love the DR but I think I can get use sexy Colombians.

[MadDestroyer]

I will be in CTG on Thursday is anyone is there and would like to meet up. Thanks for all the advice.

El turista--just like the girls have a script, tourists here seem to have a tribal dress code. You see them immediately and everywhere. Some sort of straw fedora, t-shirt, shorts and flip flops for the guys. Loose floral summer dress or t-shirt and shorts for the ladies. It was easy for me to avoid touts as they swarmed on these easy to identify marks. Anyone who has been to a scorching desert knows that layers of loose clothes that cover your skin are the best thing. If you have the audacity to wear long pants, a loose button down with a t-shirt under and real shoes, you are much less of a target.

Touts--yes, they are around, just like any tourist area in the world from Kathmandu to Manhattan. Just smile, say "hola" back if they say Hi; politely say no to their offers and keep walking. I shook their hand when they wanted, and looked at their pictures, and they pretty much let me go on my way when I wanted.

I enjoyed the rest of your report, but -- even to avoid touts, I will not wear long pants, real shoes, and a shirt with a t-shirt (no less) in that sun-FRENCH-kissed city. If you don't wear this kind of "outfit" to a sauna, you don't want to be dressed like that in Cartagena, which is, effectively, the same thing.

My understanding of why people cover their bodies in a desert is to avoid a sun or heat stroke. You don't have to suffer like that in Cartagena because, well, there are air-conditioned stores you can take refuge in, praise the lord!

In terms of the touts, yes, MOST OF THEM will take no for an answer -- it's the ones that won't, who are an issue. Sorry, but it's not "like any tourist area in the world from Kathmandu to Manhattan. " I haven't been to Kathmandu, but Cartagena touts are even more annoying than their brethren in Siem Reap, which is (was) to me a gold standard of annoying peddlers. And I would advise newbies against saying "hola" or anything else because they will perceive it as a beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Look, I'm not a spiteful person. If anything, I'm respectful and polite, and I love talking to the locals (however my broken Spanish allows). But you just can't make everyone happy at the expense of your own misery, so it's "gracia" and keep walking for me.

Having said that, Cartagena and its ladies are lovely, and I will return (in winter).

[Lance-a-Lot]

Sometimes when I scan the forum I wonder why the topics for a particular place are so focused on the sexual encounter rather than how to set up that event. I enjoy a bit of porn as much as the next guy, but some scenes are just so easy that the size of her teats or the way she blows is the only real thing to write about.

Such is Cartagena. At least in the old town, or El Centro. I didn't have much time here, and stayed in the heart of the walled city. If you are alone, just want an easy time and love Latina ladies then no need to go further. Cartagena is a very nuanced city, and not to take away from all the other delights and spectrum of possible approaches, but I just wanted a couple days to rest and enjoy the company of these Colombian beauties. As a side note, these ladies can be some of the best in the world, if your taste runs that way. Thick to thin, tall or petite, faces that could grace a magazine cover and very feminine.

However, "screw your courage to a sticking-place. " as Shakespeare once said, so I stuck to El Centro.

The set up.

As is evident in the forum, the clock tower area and bars in the immediate vicinity (facing the tower or just around the corner) is where it is easiest to find action. On this first night I went to the tower area about every hour or so over an 8 hour period, and visited bars in between, and this is what I found.

3 PM Full of tourists and touts (those guys selling everything from shirts to bus tours to "I have the best quality," which I took as an allusion to drugs). A few girls who looked like they might be looking for action, but hard to tell.

5 PM Same as earlier, but seems like an increase in the population of girls who might be out to relieve the horny of their copas. Still hard to tell, and not really high quality.

7 PM More signs that this is the place to be. And the scene has gotten lively with dance shows, cops, touts and packs of the domesticated bi-pedal sight-seers wandering around like lost cats. The working girls are obvious as they make eye contact, say "Hola," and I recognized some of them from earlier in the day.

9 PM We enter a weird gray area. Definitely courtesans about, but the overlap with tourists is confusing. I found myself undressing and lusting after a girl, only to notice she was with her mother and father. Ah, so daughters and darlings of the night mixing like coloured oils in a pool of desire.

11 PM Business hours and the shop is open. Some of the same girls from the 3-5 PM time, so I know now why they were there sitting on the benches, but the hotties are out. Oh, and so hot. It took about 104 seconds for me to find 23 year old J. , a lithe, darkish minx, very petite, pretty face and with enough curves to make a bunny race course. No English, but we used our phones to agree upon 150 thousand (she asked for 200, I offered lower, we compromised).

The act.

We walked back to the flat I rented and joked in our limited conversational abilities. It would help to speak Spanish, but the deal is simple so not absolutely necessary. In the apartment we each had a beer and used google translate to get to know one another. My blood was flowing so we moved to the bed. She didn't have condoms, which always surprises me with these girls, but is common enough that I always do have them (bought in a store earlier). Not that she offered condom free sex, but just be prepared as she might not be.

From the endless porn entries in the forum, I knew what to expect. Maybe the girls all see the same XXX film and think this is what is expected, and maybe they are right? She asked for dinaro, so I put it on the table where she could see it and we both had a very cold beer to bring down the outside temperature and increase the inner one. Then she dimmed the lights, stripped, shook her salacious booty in a mock dance and moved to give mechanical head. I stopped her as that is not all that interesting to meshe seemed surprised but relieved, and climbed on top. The requisite moaning started, but I hushed her and she stopped (part of the script they have here I suppose). We bonked for a while in this position and another, and another until the reveal, after which I took a quick shower and she followed.

We then chatted (google translate is fantastic) and flirted a bit, and had another beer. After a while, we both got a bit bored, and I sleepy, so she dressed, gave a peck on the cheek and went her merry way. All and all, a fantastic experience and I would happily see her again.

Hints from day one.

El turista--just like the girls have a script, tourists here seem to have a tribal dress code. You see them immediately and everywhere. Some sort of straw fedora, t-shirt, shorts and flip flops for the guys. Loose floral summer dress or t-shirt and shorts for the ladies. It was easy for me to avoid touts as they swarmed on these easy to identify marks. Anyone who has been to a scorching desert knows that layers of loose clothes that cover your skin are the best thing. If you have the audacity to wear long pants, a loose button down with a t-shirt under and real shoes, you are much less of a target.

Touts--yes, they are around, just like any tourist area in the world from Kathmandu to Manhattan. Just smile, say "hola" back if they say Hi; politely say no to their offers and keep walking. I shook their hand when they wanted, and looked at their pictures, and they pretty much let me go on my way when I wanted.

Accommodations--I like the privacy of an apt, and airbnb was easy enough with plenty of options. As pointed out previous forums, read the rules and makes sure it does not have a "no guest" policy. I indicated that I was a couple just in case it came up, but seeing the place, this would not have been an issue either way.

Prices--girls on Tinder are available, but start out expensive. The street trollops also start out higher, but are easy to bring down. I stopped at 150 thousand (about $50), as after that it seemed petty and she needs the extra few thousand more than I do. From all I have read, and experienced, this is a fairly standard rate.

Inputs from forum members--I like to reach out to others on the forum for a more focused bit of chit-chat when visiting a new place. Some members were very helpful and showed the solidarity of nomadic mongerer, others felt obligated to just remind me to RTFF and were less helpful, and some in between. If anyone wants to reach out to me, I am happy to offer any additional info I have.

Hope this helps, and more later.

Posted this in the Medellin thread also.

Had a great first trip to Colombia mid-June for 6-days, two in Cartagena and four in Medellin. My buddy and I are experienced mongers having been to Costa Rica, Panama, DR, St. Maarten, Curacao, multiple times over the past decade, Colombia has been high on our list of destinations but we have not been able to pull it off until now. It was worth the wait and can't wait to go again.

A little background, I am early 40's, gringo with basic to conversational Spanish, by friend is early 50's, Latin with fluent Spanish. We are both married so not interested in networking on Facebook, Tinder or Colombian Cupid, lining up GF Chicas and building a contact list for future trips. We are in-and-out, fuck as many as we can in a few short days, and forget them. It's not everyone's style, but works for us. So here was our trip.

Day 1- Get into Cartagena mid-afternoon, change a $100 at the currency exchange just to have a few pesos ($2,600 exchange) and hop a taxi to our hotel, Torre de Reloj. We love to be as close to the action as possible, and the clock tower is ground zero for chicas, so with balconies looking out onto the square, it doesn't get any better. Rates were high at around US $90 a night, but it was only for 2-nights so we didn't mind. Third floor rooms with no elevator kind of sucked, but the rooms were decent. We took chicas in and out of the hotel no problem, they kept their ID's until they left, but at checkout they tried to charge us a whopping $90,000 COP per chica fee, which we argued like crazy. The guy at checkout we had not seen the whole trip, and he insisted we were told this from the beginning. We refused to pay it but are watching the credit card to see if they bill it through there. If they do, we will dispute the charges. Fuckers!

Anyhow. We change more money at the exchange next to the hotel where we get $2,700 rate. Have dinner at a nice restaurant in Boca Grande and back to the hotel where we walk the town and check the scene. It was still a bit early for the chicas so we explore and eventually hang at the bar area in front of the Hard Rock until the girls start to roll in around 11 ish. We walk the area some more and eventually I grab a tall spinner from Cali. Asks for $250 k but we agree to 2-hours for $200 k. My buddy grabs a chica also and we all head up to the rooftop bar of the hotel for some drinks. My friends chica is much more fun and personable than my girl, who was all business. I finally take her to the room and after a shower we look to start the action, and she tells me she doesn't have any condoms. I almost threw her out of the room but as a last ditch effort, I go to my buddy's room next door where his chica has condoms so I bum one. I almost started a double team with his girl but I go back and get my first nut out with my chica and send her packing. What a dud! We have to be up early the next day so I call it a night and don't bother going back down again, first night was a bit disappointing.

Day 2- We have a commitment that takes up our whole day, but by 8 pm we are back at the hotel. Get showered and grab dinner, and somehow my buddy runs into his girl from the night before. He likes her so agrees to go for another round, she knows I had a crap time the night before so she texts one of her friends to come to the hotel. About 15-minutes later her friend shows up, she is 20 and a cute "girl next door" type looks but a tiger in bed. Great DFK, BBBJ, passionate chick. Finally Colombia is on the rebound. Later I find out my buddy had a threesome with his girlfriend and another of her friends, full GFE, PSE, girls snorting lines off his dick, fucked both in the ass, the works! He said it was one of the best threesomes of his life, and he has had plenty over the years, believe me. After we chill for a bit and recover, we head down to Isis strip club to check the scene, we had a beer or two but it's the typical clip joint for American tourists, I don't remember the prices but I think beers were around $20 k and girls were $300-400 k COP I think. We leave and head to Dolce Vita. I liked this place a lot, probably because it had A / C! Cartagena is hot as fuck, and I felt like I was sweating my ass off everywhere I went. We hang for a good hour and have several rounds of drinks, I grab a gorgeous blonde in a sexy white outfit and get her a few drinks. My initial impression was this was a freelance bar, where girls would go back and forth between here and the clock tower. Apparently I was wrong, and the girls at Dolce Vita work for the club only. I agree to $200 k for my girl and upon leaving, they try to get me to pay a $100 k exit fee. I refuse to pay and tell her forget it, I will find someone else outside the club and basically walk out. She talks to the bartender briefly and runs after me, basically saying we consumed enough alcohol while we were there that the club will let her leave without an exit fee. Whatever. Anyhow, we go back to the hotel and she was awesome, even better than the previous girl. Great DFK & BBBJ, only disappointment is no anal.

Later we head back down again and walk around a bit to check the scene. We stray away from the clock tower and end up down the block somewhere, eventually smoking some weed with some skanky chicas on the corner. One of them convinces my friend he can fuck her up the ass for $100 k so he agrees to take her back, so I reluctantly end up with her friend. She was actually cuter than my buddy's girl but said "no cula" for her but BBBJ no problem. My girl was pretty good actually but my friends girl sucked, no BBBJ, no anal, and my friend threw her out without even fucking her. Hey, it's cool if you don't do BBBJ or anal, but don't promise it on the street and then get to the room and refuse. WTF! We call it a night as its already around 4 am and we have to be at the airport to catch our flight to Medellin by 7 am so we only get about 2-hours sleep.

Overall Cartagena is beautiful but hot as fuck! It's so hot and humid I was generally uncomfortable the entire time outdoors, even at night. There is a wealth of talent at the clock tower but it's hard to determine chemistry with the chica in this setting, kind of like a Casa it's a "grab and go" type environment. If you approach one girl in a group of 3 or 4 the others will scatter like cockroaches, it's kind of funny actually. Thursday night around 1 am I counted around 70 girls in the square and even at 4 am there were still 30-40 around, I can only imagine what the place is like on the weekends. Dolce Vita I liked better because you can have a drink and socialize to get a better connection with the chica before committing to her, but to each his own. Overall I would not go back to Cartagena as a mongering destination, too touristy, inflated prices and too fucking hot!

Day 3 - Medellin at last! Been dying to go here for years, and finally here after a short 1-hour flight from Cartagena. Staying at the Mansion 2 and they arrange a driver to pick us up for $75 k. Fernando was waiting when we arrived. I walked out of the airport and the weather was perfect, low 70's, no humidity and a slight chill in the air. I was in heaven. Shortly afterwards I discover the airport is a good 2,000 ft higher than the city, it's at 7,000 ft and the city is 4,900 ft, so it's much cooler here, damn it. Anyhow, Medellin is warmer but overall comfortable, nothing like Cartagena. We get to the hotel around noon but our rooms won't be ready till 4 pm. We grabbed our cash and passports, left our bags with the office, and walked down Poblado avenue to the outdoor complex to the currency exchange (2,750 was the best exchange rate we got) and pretty decent since the current rate was 2,900. We changed some cash and walked to Santa Fe mall across the street, awesome 5-story shopping mall. I felt like I was back in the states. Walked to Hard Rock and had lunch and watched a World Cup game, then back to the hotel and got settled. Freshened up and grabbed a cab down to Centro as I was dying to hit some Casas. I did my homework before the trip and knew there were 5 Casas within walking distance of each other, and located them on Google Earth "street view" so I knew exactly what they looked like and could navigate the area comfortably.

First up was New Life. Decent lineup with around 15 girls, my scale was 5 to maybe 7.5. It's hard to remember all the girls names so after they introduce themselves one at a time we ask for a full lineup. I grab a dirty blonde Paisa looking chic who seemed like a nice personality and off we go. Decent enough room, a bit warm with a wall fan but clean and has its own bathroom and shower. Now this being my first time in a Casa, once we get in the room I tell her (in Spanish) I want a full hour, do I have to pay now or later? "Quiero un hora, tengo que pagar ahora or despues? She basically tells me $100 k which I replied its only $80 k for the hour, the rest was propina. OK fine, I give her $100 k and we have a good session, a crappy 10-second BBBJ but aside from that she was good. After the session and a shower we leave the room and I go to the window to pay for the drinks I ordered earlier. The bill is like $120 k and I tell them I gave the girl $100 k already. Now she is telling the manager the $100 k was propina for her and I have to pay the regular tab. I get fucking pissed! One of the working girls comes over and translates, her English was really good actually, and I explained what happened. She said the girl is telling her I agreed to pay her $100 k for BBBJ, which I said was ridiculous, why would I pay $80 k for an hour fuck and $100 k for a BBBJ, that is outrageous, "Not really, I charge $50 k" she says. Anyhow, after a 5-10 minute heated exchange, we agree the girl will pay the $80 k from the $100 k I gave her, I paid the balance of the tab for the drinks, and gave the girl an additional $30 k, so she ended up with a $50 k propina. Before leaving the Manager apologized to my friend and asked him to tell me it won't happen again, please come back. A word to the wise, in the Casa, pay the Manager directly afterwards, do not pay the girl directly! Anything you give her is considered propina. These fucking girls are hustlers, it's a tough life so I guess I can't blame them. I feel management handled it well but regardless it left a bad taste in my mouth and I didn't go back.

Anyhow, we grab a drink at the Cafateria on the corner of Cra. 45 & 56 to recover some, then right across the street to checkout Coffee Shop which is the casa in the brick building that says "Bliss Suite Hotel. " It's on the ground floor but the place is a dive, 6-7 girls but nothing we liked so we passed. By this time it was around 6:30 and I knew most of the places close around 7-8 pm so we hurry down the street to Aiffe. A bit better than Coffee Shop but not as nice as New Life, 7-8 girls and there was a super tall chic in red lingerie that caught my attention, she had to be close to 6 ft with no heels and she had on huge glasses that made her look like Wonder Woman. I had to have her! She told me she was from Medellin but later admitted she was from Venezuela. Nothing special in the bedroom, no BBBJ but nice eye candy in all positions. I suspect she would be a better performer if I caught her fresh but I know it's the end of the day and I'm starting to take longer to cum now so she earned her cash for sure. I gave her a $20 k propina.

I'm not sure if I have the name correct but we head down to Club de Amigas on Carrera 45, #57-55. This was a pleasant surprise, they had probably 10-12 girls, 2-3 were fuggly as fuck, but there were 2 that I really liked, one was a 7 and one was a 8 on my scale. I really wanted to session with them but no way could I fuck after my last session with no recovery time. It was around 7:30 ish and they were almost closing so we said we would come back. We scurry down to Sexy Amiga's, again not sure if I have the name correct but the one on 45 the #57-67 but it was closed. We grab a cab back to the hotel and check the Mansion cave. At least 2 guys to every girl there and most of the chicas were paired up already, I don't see anything of interest and I'm exhausted so call it an early night and head back to Mansion 2 and crash. The next morning I find out my friend had Robert at Mansion 2 call a girl for him, I think he did a todo la noche but can't remember.

Day 4 - I'm up early and glad I got a good night sleep to recover, the girl makes me some eggs, toast, fruit & fresh orange juice for breakfast, and I relax and check emails till my friend is ready. We grab a cab down to Santo Domingo metro station to take the cable cars up to the top of the mountain, it was a nice experience. Oddly we have to pay for the tickets, take the cable car up to one stop, get out and make a long line to pay for another set of tickets to the top. Why can't we pay for both sets at once? Anyhow, at the top they have a few vendors and a park, we hang out for a bit and head back down (again having to pay for the tickets at both stops.) Grab a cab to Centro as I wanted to check the strip clubs, we hit Maracaibo & Ejectiva, but both are closed because it's too early, so we take a walk to check the street action. We walk down to Calle 55 over to Park Bolivar, stopping at a bar / restaurant along the way to watch the Germany / Sweden game. Not a lot of action at this time, we walk back up from Bolivar on Calle 56 then back to Carrera 50. A few girls were across the street that looked hot as fuck, but my friend felt "shy" about talking to the girls in the street with everyone walking by and starring so we didn't cross over. What a pussy, he's embarrassed to buy Viagra in the pharmacies so always makes me do it, LOL. Anyway, we walked down Calle 55 for a block till we saw a huge tranny, he had to be 6'2" at least, and I said owww shit, I think this is the same dude I saw on Google Earth Street View in the same area. Go to street view and check Calle 55 just west of Carrera 50 and you will see a HUGE tranny in a blue dress. LOL. Notice how much bigger she is than the guy walking past her. Well she is even bigger in person. LMAO. Anyhow, we crossed the street and walked back to 53 to check Ejectiva again, still closed. So we walk down to Calle 53 to Conejitas Strip Club that had just opened. Dude, this place sucked! There were at least 60 guys in here and 5 girls at best. Maybe it was because it was so early but we had two beers each and left.

Time to check the street action! So we walk through Parke Botero, past the statues and the pay phones and hang a right at the church, a granny or two but nothing really. It's a Saturday and early afternoon so I guess we can't expect much. We hang a right on Carrera 53 and I got that little pump of adrenaline, you know when you get that rush because you have been anticipating this experience for a while now. LOL. So we walk down 53 for a block, cross the street at the park and walk back on the other side. Man this place is crowded as fuck, but not a lot of girls around. We cross the street again basically making a full circle, and walk the same block again. There are a couple girls hanging in a few doorways but everything I saw was a 4 at best. Nothing we see that we like. Okay, let's go check De Grieffe I tell my friend. He is blown away that I know where all this shit is. LOL. So we walk up to Calle 53, pass the Excalibur Casino and down to Bienvenidos bar for a drink. The best looking street talent we have seen so far is in the doorway right in front of us, 3 girls, all very doable. Just like watching porn, you are never happy with what you are watching right now, you have to change the channel to see what else is on, well same situation here. I say let's walk the area to check the talent so we pass for now and walk a block down Carrera 54 before crossing the street and doubling back on the other side. We round the corner back on CL. 53, there is one girl with talent but we decide to go back to the girls we saw earlier, so we cross the street again and go back. We both pick our girls who asked for $50 k each plus $16 k for the room, (a whopping US $24) we didn't bother negotiating and accepted, and off we go. Rooms were better than I was expecting, my girl was from Bogota and had a killer body, but she was kind of cold. No BBBJ, even offered her $20 k propina and she refused which was disappointing, you would think the street girls would be more willing to do extras, but oww well, it's not a deal breaker for me. I like them to start in cowgirl for a while, flip them over to doggie and finish in mish. I pounded the shit out of her in doggie and kept playing with her ass. It was funny cause she kept flinching and moving my hand away but after a while I could tell she started to enjoy it and eventually let me get a fingertip in her ass while I was pounding her. LOL, a small victory for me. Finish in mish, damn its getting hard to cum now, take a quick shower and off we go. We walk back to Maracaibo which is now open, they only had a few girls but my friend liked one so we stayed and had a few drinks. Eventually I convince him to split and check out Ejectiva next door. Much more girls and nicer atmosphere all around. It was Saturday evening now and we can see the girls starting to trickle in. We relax for a few hours and drink, by about 9-10 pm I am horny again and ready to go. I had my eye on a really cute Paisa with a peach top for most of the evening but she got taken by another dude. I end up grabbing a sexy little blonde paisa with a 9 body and 8 face, best fuck of the trip for me. We go upstairs for $80 k, its funny because the doorway to the rooms upstairs is actually hidden in the toilet stall of the men's bathroom. LOL. This girl rocks my world! BBBJ was to die for, passionate, and likes it up the ass! I hit the jackpot. She asks for $100 k propina for anal, I counter at $50 k and we settle for $70 k. What is that, like $30 for sex and an extra $25 tip for anal. This chick would be $500 an hour in Miami for straight sex, and I'm fucking her up the ass for less than $60! Medellin rocks! Damn I fucked this girl till I was blue in the face, I couldn't cum even fucking her in the ass. I had her switch back to cowgirl to give me a break before finally going back to doggie and eventually finishing in mish. Holy shit, what a workout! No showers here, the room is stuffy and the guy was knocking on the door for the past 15 minutes but I need another 5 to cool off in front of the fan before getting dressed and heading back down stairs. My friend waits for me to get back before he takes a girl upstairs, when he is done we eventually leave and head to Parke Lleras for dinner. We bought dinner for the cab driver too, why not. Afterwards we head to the Mansion cave. We check the bar again but it's the same story, sausage fest with a lot of guys, most of the girls are paired up already with only 2-3 available, but no way either of us can fuck again so we pass and head back to the room and crash.

Day 5 Its Sunday and Colombia is playing Poland in the World Cup at 1 pm. We are psyched to watch the game in Medellin. Have the same breakfast and want to go by the stadium to watch the game. Of course I know Energy casa is right next to the stadium so the plan was to get one pop before the game so we get there early. Their website says they are open on Sundays but I guess with the game they were closed, which was disappointing. We walk back to the stadium and watch the game at a bar / restaurant right next to the big screen they had outside the stadium. Great game that Colombia won 3-0, great atmosphere and everyone was happy. Afterwards we go back to Energy just to check again, but they were still closed damn it. Oww well. I know most of the Casas are closed and most of the strip clubs don't open till later, so we grab a cab to Luna Lunera as I heard this joint was 24 hours. We get there and no customers and a whopping 2 girls, one was a 5 and the other a 6 on my scale. We feel pretty desperate so after a round of $20 k Coronas we take the girls to the room, I can't remember exactly but I think it was $170 k for an hour. Rooms were very nice and clean, but both girls were duds and we should have gotten a half hour instead. Bunch of veterans making Rookie mistakes. My chic had the worst boob job I have ever seen. Scars that went around her nipples, down the seam of her boobs and underneath the cup. Usually you would see a scar in one of these locations, but never in all three. Anyway, after a crappy, robotic fuck we head back to the hotel to relax for a while before heading to Parke Lleras for dinner again. We have a decent dinner, spotted one working girl who insisted she was not working but wanted to join us for dinner, LOL, but we pass. We walk around afterwards and have a few drinks at one of the bars, people were still celebrating the Colombia victory earlier today. This scene reminded me of my college days, it was cool but I'm not 25 and single anymore. We decide to split, I want to try Fase II but my buddy wants to go back to Ejectiva as he wants to fuck the girl I had the previous night. LOL. So we go back but she wasn't there, we hang out for a while and I spot the girl I wanted to take the night before. She was pretty easy to identify because she is wearing the same peach top as yesterday, LOL. We call her over and she hangs out, we buy her a few drinks and my friend wants to take girls back to the hotel. We ask her to point out some of her friends who she knows well and is comfortable with, so we select the best one and negotiate a todo la noche. It was an $80 k exit fee per girl, and we gave them $150 k each. They tried to get us to pay the bar the full $230 k upfront but I refused and said I would give the bar $80 k and pay them the rest at the hotel. I should have paid more attention to this red flag as these girls were awful! I thought the Luna Lunera chicks were bad, these girls didn't want to party, wanted to fuck in separate rooms, wouldn't let us switch off even for extra propina, I mean WTF? Are these girls hookers or not? Anyway, I get my nut out with my chick, we go back to my friends room and hang out for a little while, and I decide to crash about an hour later. The next day my friend said he stayed with them for about another hour after I crashed and sent them off.

Day 6 last day here so we have to make it count. Have the usual breakfast, watch a World Cup game, then off for a Pablo Escobar tour. Instead of an official tour, Robert arranged a bilingual driver to take us around, which was better IMO. We went to the building that the Cali Cartel bombed to try and kill his family, the Cathedral prison he built for himself up in the mountains, and his grave site. Another touristy area that had a nice view, overall it was OK, not that much to see but it was nice just to drive around the city. We spend about 4-hours with him and I think he charged $30 k per hour, so we paid him $150 k with tip if memory serves. It was getting late and we have pussy to fuck, so we have the driver (can't remember his name) drop us off at Energy by the stadium. Damn they got a nice lineup of around 15 girls, 2-3 were 5's on my scale but most were 7-8. I pick a classic looking paisa chic as you should know by now I like these types of girls, and up to the room. Awesome rooms, I grab a quick shower. The girl makes a half ass attempt at a massage, condom blowjob and another robotic fuck. Man, I'm really picking the dudes this trip. I know I lost a few steps and put on a few pounds these last few years, but I used to do much better with the chicas. Anyway. When I flip her over to mish the girl has a skanky smelling pussy and that just kills my heart on. I quickly flip her back to doggie and concentrate like hell to get my first nut of the day out. I grab another quick shower and back to the waiting room for a good 20-minutes waiting for by friend to finish. He had an awesome experience and really liked the place, he said best place we had been to by far. We head out and grab some food in the area, then back to the hotel to freshen up. Early evening and we check the Cave again but again nothing of interest so we finally head to Fase II. $20 K cover and beers are $20 k each, damn we dropped $80 k and had only been here 5-minutes. Girls were smoking hot though, there were two I would rate at a 6 but the others were 8's and a few 9's by my scale, Victoria Secret models. There were probably 15+ girls and maybe 10-15 customers, but every single girl was glued to her phone. One of the 9's danced on stage for 2 songs then walked around for tips afterwards, I gave her a $10 k tip and told her to come back and see us when she was finished, but she never did. I think two other girls danced on stage for the hour or so we stayed there, and we eventually left. I love a top shelf girl as much as the next guy, but if they were this disinterested while working, I imagine they would be even worse in bed. I'the rather a 7 girl who rocks in the bedroom than a 9 who's a robot. Anyhow, we caught a cab to San Diego strip club which was just down the road. Mostly 6's but one or two 7's & 8's and much more aggressive and personable, the girls actually try to get your attention. Problem was I did a few bumps in the bathroom and my dick was passed out so there was no way I could fuck right now. My friend grabbed a girl and took her upstairs and I hung out till he was done. Afterwards went back to Ejectiva hoping I could find the cula girl I fucked the first night I was there, but she wasn't working again, so I grabbed a girl I had seen the previous few nights. She was a little energizer bunny, awesome fuck, everything except she wouldn't let me fuck her in the ass, but totally accommodating. Afterwards she even checked my socks and turned my underwear right side out again that is how accommodating she was, reminded me of an Asian chic at the massage parlors. Usually the Latinas are not that obliging. Gave her a $20 k tip and $10 k to the security guy as we were there for a good hour and the place was closed. When I got downstairs the place was empty and my buddy was there waiting. Cab back to the hotel and our trip was done, packed and had to be at the airport by 7 am to catch a 9 am flight to Miami.

Overall observations Cartagena is too touristy and hot as fuck! I think the same thing of Jaco in Costa Rica so if that is your thing, you may enjoy it. Medellin is a beautiful city, great climate and awesome people. The people are extremely friendly and polite everywhere you go, one example is Colombia is the first Latin culture I have experienced where they don't blow their car horns 24/7 as its considered rude. Poblado felt like being in Miami with the shops and restaurants, and I never felt threatened or unsafe, even walking the Centro streets in areas where gringos typically don't venture. Granted I would not feel comfortable walking some of these areas at night, but during the day I had no issues.

Mansion was a nice operation and I can't say enough good things about the staff. Even at Mansion 2 they have someone in the office 24/7 to help you with anything you need, whether its calling you a taxi, ordering food for you, arranging a tour, getting you Viagra, or ordering you a girl late night. The last night at 7:55 pm we realized we were low on cash, Robert says the currency exchange closes in 5 minutes, he drops what he is doing and drives us down there personally so we make it before closing. If it's your first trip to Colombia, I would highly recommend them. I was a bit disappointed with the quantity of girls in the Cave at Mansion but we never hung around there for more than an hour, and I think we kept going at odd times when things were slow. It's not a place like Del Rey in Costa Rica that you can grab a girl for a quickie whenever you want, its more GFE and most of the guys we met there were single and networking most of their chicas on FB. In hindsight I wish I had grabbed a girl from Fase II, and we never made it to Loutron which I wanted to try at least once. Overall we got the full buffet of street girls, casas, strip clubs and at least my friend hit a Mansion chica to round things off. As always, YMMV, you can find total duds and great GFE / PSE girls at any location and at any price range, so going high end does not guarantee a great experience, nor does low end guarantee a poor one. Cash wise this was the cheapest trip we ever made, we normally travel with $3-4 k each per trip, and spend every last dollar no matter how much we have. I think I spend $2,000 - $2,500 including hotel. Campo Alegre in Curacao is also cheap as hell, US $30 per girl with a huge selection of Colombian and Dominican chicas, but the rest of the island is expensive so you will pay more for meals, hotel, rental car, etc. Whereby all of this was very cheap in Medellin. Cab rides were $15-20 k from Poblado to Centro and always metered, some of the drivers don't know how to find the addresses but from a safety perspective there was never any issues.

Below was the homework I did on Medellin before my trip. I took a screen shot and saved it as my wallpaper on my phone so I always had the addresses handy. If you want to hit Casas or street action I strongly recommend scouting the locations on google earth street view to get familiar with your surroundings.

I hired a boat back in November. It was 1. 5 million pesos for the whole day. It was a small cruiser that came with two crew members. It had seating in front and in the back. I'd say you could probably fit ten people on it. It was me, four other chicas, and the two guys running the boat..

I admit that the days you posted your first reports from CTG I was not impressed at all and actually my feeling was overall negative, but with time my opinion changed. Now I really hope we can meet next time and sail together! :D
You're my hero. Thumbs up! Kudos!

[YippieKayay]

Good advice here. Back to Cartagena in Sept and looking forward to getting more involved this time around. Did you hire a boat at all? Could you recommend any particular boat operators?

I hired a boat back in November. It was 1. 5 million pesos for the whole day. It was a small cruiser that came with two crew members. It had seating in front and in the back. I'd say you could probably fit ten people on it. It was me, four other chicas, and the two guys running the boat. I can't recommend anyone. Google searches showed about $500 USD being charged for the same type of boat, maybe a little less depending on the time of year.

Remember everything else is on you. You tell them where you want to go and you negotiate prices with any additional services at the islands. If you can't speak Spanish I'd get an English speaking tout to arrange and go with you. I would avoid any disagreements with the locals further out on the islands, heh. You can visit Cholon if you want an island to party on. Or Gruta Azul if you want some place quiet. They can even take you to Isla Baru's playa blanca but further away from the crowds.

Upside is you can bring your own food and drinks on board. Everything is cash as the islands don't have any ATMs that I've seen. Bring a wad of pesos with you.

It is worth doing once for the experience. Otherwise I highly recommend finding a good spot on Punta Arenas. It's on the island just south of El Laguito.
