Cartagena Reports

[HumpyDumpty11]

Old news but someone will be oblivious to it. Space is now Omnia, when I was there chicas weren't allowed inside unless with a man. So chicas who knew I was there asked me to come down and let them in so they can work. It was mostly a sausage fest until then.

How many girls did they let you bring inside? Did the girls have to stay with you the whole time inside or they were able to work the room with no issues? When you left, did you the girls have to leave with you?

One of my amigas asked me to do this on my next trip but I was skeptical it could be done at all. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Just to be honest I went there only once and I was there for 2 days a Thursday and Friday unless I'm tripping, the indigenous women did not look that attractive they mainly had cheap fake cosmetic BBL's done that did not look appealing at all the Afro Latina women looked more sexy perhaps I went there on a bad day but I noticed dudes was all over these fake body bitches. Where in Columbia do they have nice quality of chicas?

So I've only had 3 days total in Cartagena during a 3 week duration, 2 days on arrival and 1 day on departure.

With in those 3 days I can say based on my last 2 trips the new annoyance are "city girls" trying to "turn up". I thought the jordans, beer bellies, yankee fittits mongers were bad but these fuzzy bedroom shoes, triple nose rings, heavy lashes and bright color weaves are on another level. Upon arriving a Latam plane arrived infront of mine and there they were. Loud AF on the immigration line, disorganized when speaking to the the immigration officer, when the porter came to do the whole "bag assistance" thing they got louder, then they couldn't lift the bags to put them on the xray machine and got louder looking in my direction like I'm supposed to help them, I just put my shits on the belt and walked through. I'm outside by the exchange waiting for my chica to pull the car up and they came out and the cute short taxi girl with the glasses tried to get them a taxi and they got loud again, a few other brothers were there, we all looked at each other and just shook our heads.

I'm surprised no one mentioned how they are digging up the streets in Centro, at quick glance looks like they are laying down SDR35, (green sewer drainage pipe) to handle the flooding during the heavy rains. They were digging up the side by Delirium and the other side by the bakery (north of Space). Many areas still fenced off. I didn't stay in El Laguito or Centro as I wanted to avoid certain types of people and annoyances.

Traffic also got a bit more complicated. Looks like they installed new medians behind La Serrezuela Mall to prevent left turns when exiting, I also vaguely remember the same thing down by Getsemani on Calle 30 by the bridge when we were going to Seven 7.

Old news but someone will be oblivious to it. Space is now Omnia, when I was there chicas weren't allowed inside unless with a man. So chicas who knew I was there asked me to come down and let them in so they can work. It was mostly a sausage fest until then.

Upon leaving, I completely forgot to do the ChkMIG and I was not asked for it, I also ignored the Contact Tracing Email Jet Blue wanted me to fill out. They pointed me to the BIOMIG machine instead of a immigration officer, and it took longer because the machine took 3 tries to scan my passport, then I didn't realize I had to get close to the camera. I thought it was supposed to take a picture of my entire face like Global Entry but looks likes it wanted a picture of my eyes.

A good trip besides being there Holy Week, too many damn families and annoying kids. Happy I went away from the gringo tourist areas and checked out the local vacation areas, maybe another time when its not a Colombia holiday because the lines were long for everything.

I don't have any plans on returning to Colombia this year, most of my chicas are now state side and these city girls trying to "turn up" all the time makes any daytime or nighttime activity an embarrassment due to association by default.

Yo I can't open pictures to see them bigger but the hair looks the same. Anyway I already left Cartagena. Its not how it was when I was there before. Everything is more expensive, hotels, girls, food, activities and club restrictions. Only Space and ISIS was open and hardly had girls. I found a different girl for 500.000 COP an hour who had similar a similar hairstyle. Not the best decision but pickings were slim to none on looks alone.

Similar hair? Hopefully it wasnt Gaby / Marie. Jajaja.

Just about every youtuber done ran through her, she's all over youtube.

If your able to post pictures then you should be able to open as well, no?

Glad you had fun, and your experience is why I always say make sure the information is current and relevant to what the traveler is trying to do.

I know it's the same dolce girl, but I'm telling you you will need to get her a plane ticket and take her out of Cartagena, or go to Baru or something, she's not going to do a 1 night or 1 hour with a gringo it's full days and nights staying with the gringo.

I posted a photo for context, how about you tell me if it's the same chica? Jajaj.

This one is a good read jajaja.

That guy literally did everything wrong LOL. They even stole his groceries LOL these Venecas are fucking scandalous, however he might as well have had 'Papaya' tattooed on his forehead LOL.

Good job on the IG record. That was smart. FWIW, my gal loves the mayor. She is thrilled that the clock tower area and the hookers there have been shut down. Apparently, the mayor has set up a hot line to report crimes. I googled and it could not find it.

Remember the Obama Secret Service scandal? A chick has sex with a well muscled secret serviceman and tries to shake him down for $800 and hotel security wrote up the incident and the SS agents got in trouble? Or the one with the monger guy Dubliner on here who had a similar incident where he called the police when the hookers would not leave and the police told him to give the hookers the money? Yeah, I do not think you are going to be seeing the police doing that anymore. At this point, I would actually be in favor of filing police reports as the mayor actually seems to be trying to do something about it versus taking the side of hookers and thieves. It was not too long where I read they had a Cartagena police chief actually involved with the hooker trade.

I am not sure if it is the crime crack down but the number of civilian hotties on the streets has never been higher. Beauties were everywhere.

The pico and placa system that is in place in Bogota to control traffic was implemented in Cartagena. Traffic was way down. It was nice. I am not sure how long that is in effect.

Other new thing was having to take your shoes off at the airport in Colombia with security like in the USA. Not sure why that started now but it is what it is.

I've been here for 2 weeks. I have 1 more week to go. Big fucking mistake on my part. This Holy Week is the worst. Everybody and their dog is out here. After a few days of Cartagena I left with my chica to the Pablo water Park thinking I would get away from certain things, nope. Shit was packed beyond packed.

I got caught up in that shit too getting extorted by the cops where they put the check point going into El Laguito Hotel Caribe. Spoke to other gringos that encountered the same.

Oh about that Dublin12 guy who decided to ignore all the advice and warnings everyone gave him and ended up with constant bad scenarios, he changed his username. Something I've never seen before. But it was one hell of a laugh.

Further to my most recent post, I promised a trip report. I thought you might be interested in hearing of my misadventures. This rapidly became the holiday in hell.



I won't bore you with all the problems I had trying to book this, but between my bank, the credit card co, and Colombian bureaucracy, I should have taken the hint, that this was never going to end well.

This one is a good read jajaja.

The people of Cartagena wanted this, they wanted their city cleaned up but that means getting rid of certain elements that attracted certain types of people, let them all return to Sosua to get them turkeys walking around in yoga pants jajaja.

I stopped doing the clubs a while back, happy I did, my experience became much better once I got away from certain type of people, especially the ones with volume control problems. Your right, first timers are fucked, not only are they going to get hit in the head for high prices in dollars they have a more limited selection and lost the ability to walk into a club and see a bunch of chicas at once and pick what fits their budget. It's also going to effect those mongers who never maintained communication with past chicas and always believed a new one is right around the corner or they want a new one every night. The ones who have a stable full or connections to friends of friends don't need to worry about 3 clubs, a clocktower and an annoying beach. Specifically making an instagram to keep in touch with all chicas I've come across for the last 5 years was the best thing I've ever done.

I can't wait to see what's it's going to look like once summer hits, let's see how long this new Mayor and the Medellin Mayor can keep this up.

I was just here in Nov. And now heard all the clubs are closing?

I tried to go back 7 pages to find the answer but I can't keep searching for it.

Anyone havea tldr?

You don't need to read all the posts in this section. You just have to know which members give up to date information and view their post history for this section.

The answer is within those 7 pages.

So what are the best clubs to hit in Bogota? I will be making my first trip there in April. I plan to get one way ticket from Medellin this way I can stay or leave when I want. Also do the hotels in Bogota upcharge for having visitors?

At admin I think this thread needs to be moved across to the Bogotá forum.

Some are cheaper with less quality and some are better-- all within 2 blocks plus tons of Hot Streety Sweeties-- Have Fun-- Most guys do-- Some Dickheads don't --LOL.

It's Semana Santa, and downtown is festive! They are setting up the structures for the festivals including an awesome food festival later this week. Some families were watching some Easter themed programming on a big screen in the square when I walked by yesterday evening.

And they have returned to being strict. The police are pushing the girls as far from the square as possible at night. I don't think it is affecting much though. The end of this week marks the end of high season for tourism. I think we'll see relaxation of the rules on working women as soon as April.

And the muchachos offering weed or coke have basically disappeared. Haven't been propositioned in two months. Crazy.

Space got the leftovers who were rejected by Dolce and most of them 4 x T shirt wearing beer belly gringos wasn't trying to take on them stairs. Also didn't help that they didn't own the building and had to pay rent. Reopening as a hookah bar will only put it in competition with Monkey Bar where nobody goes because it's filled with the same type of women men got on planes to get away from.

Jaja. I've never been to Cartagena but I love the analysis here. I am planning to meet up there with my GF from Medellíand in mid-April. Sounds like a place I would not want to be mongering anyway.
