Cartagena Reports

Good job with these opportunistic colombian ass-holes and standing your ground, no mas dar papaya from us gringos.

The Tall Man.

Just got word from one of the chicas. Club Electra was closed. Due to a fight between two gringos. The police fined the club. Can anyone confirm this.

Also the square is shut down on the working girls as well. Is this a change or just a simple crackdown and things go back to normal.

Maybe we should post a few spots for some board members of chica friendly spots in CTG so others don't have to look under every rock. Would be really helpful.

I just came back from CTG 2 days ago. I stayed in Palmetto Beach. Ass hole at the desk was definitely trying to fleece me, but I wasn't going. He thought I was stupid. I had to send the chica back to the clock tower. It pissed me off. Oh and by the way they give the Venezuelans a hard time, she must have her ID and passport or they won't let her up. At least at night. The guy kept trying to get money out of me every time I brought one back. ............. The guy I was with had a Venezuelan who didn't have an passport and her ID was expired. . had. To pay 50 k to get her up. I guess he thought I was. Going to do the same. After a while you got to put ya foot down. And not let them push you over.

FYI.

There is a tidal wave of Venezuelan migrants crossing the border into Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.
Both Peru and Ecuador now require valid Passports for Venezuelans to cross the border. This action has stranded thousands of migrants at the border who do not have Passports.

The Colombian Government has not yet mandated this. But it is just a matter of time.
The Colombians fear the worst and most likely are reacting based on news reports from neighboring countries.

In Brazil, border towns have been flooded with thousands of Venezuelans. The Locals have given up on their Government and have started to take the law into their own hands.

I had to deal with this asshole with the last name Garcia. Either you call the onwer / manager to set him straight or give him couple of bucks (I gave him 20 K) to get your chica through.

Next thing you know, he was my friend showing me pictures of chica's to call them!

You mentioned that you had to send the Chica back to the clock tower, did that security guard just refused to register and let her up?

I was told by the owner / manager of the property specifically that there will not be any fees to bring back overnight guest. I can only assume know it is true but will get to find out later. If his word is true, then this is just a shakedown on unsuspecting renters there. Anyway, so you manage to still bring your Chicas up the apartment even without paying off the guard, right?

Thanks for the update.

It was definitely a shake down. I guess he thought I was going to give him 50 k like my boy did. LOL I didn't I went back and got a chica that had all her paper work together. He kept trying to tell me I had to many guest. But I'm not stupid I replayed the owners message for him in Spanish. He looked like a fool then. And just registered the chica. I. never gave him a cent. Fellas if you stay there. Don't like these guys shake you down. Stand ya ground. If. You don't they will keep trying it on. Every guy that comes.

If you see him and his boss and bald headed guy, then you know they on the shake down path. Funny thing is that we were going to tip them anyways before they started the BS LOL. They missed out on a lot of money.

If he said its fine then its fine. Just be discreet about it when you're there.

Hello all,

Going to be in Cartagena from this afternoon onwards until 17th. If anyone fancies meeting up for a few beers over the next ten days give me a shout. Be good to meet fellow mongers.

Just curious what a "small stipend" looks like. I'm not planning to join but will be helpful information for future events!

My thinking to the chicas coming from Medellin is probably looks like about 200 mil for misc expenses they would have like taxi and if they go to the beach for an afternoon some drinks or such.

The real thrill for these girls is that each and everyone of them will post their selfies with their friends and other girls on the beach and on the boat on Face Book, fuck this will be plastered all over on Face Book. They will show off to all their friends at home in Medellin that they are world travelers, jejejejeje.

3. The 3 or 4 chicas whom I will import from Medellin are totally down for this, I plan on paying their air fair along with providing housing and food for 2 or 3 days PLUS a small stipend. How to invite local chicas and what kind of offering is advised?

[The Tall Man]

I am thinking about next month (mid October) spending a week in Cartagena as I will have a celebration of sorts, so my idea is to rent a boat for the day (6 to 8 hours), something to carry about a dozen people, with music and dancing, drinks and other party favors, I have a good colombian friend from Medellin who will party with me, I want at 6 to 9 chicas (clothing optional, jejeje) bikini clad hotties a couple of whom I will probably import from Medellin, so my questions:

1. Any one who maybe in Cartagena during this time interested in sharing costs? It could be a party to remember.

2. I am thinking about my boat budget of 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 pesos, any one rented before and have any insight?

3. The 3 or 4 chicas whom I will import from Medellin are totally down for this, I plan on paying their air fair along with providing housing and food for 2 or 3 days PLUS a small stipend. How to invite local chicas and what kind of offering is advised?

4. My budget for alcohol and some eats for the day boat trip is 750 mil.

5. I want good loud music, do the boat have good sound systems or do I need to hire a DJ?

Anyone with comments and suggestions, especially those that have done this before is greatly appreciated.

Which Palmetto building? They have different policies. I stayed in Palmetto Beach and had an issue with the security guards. 20 K took care of it.

Palmetto Eliptic.

You actually don't need to give that guy shit, haha. He'll point to a brochure that says 20 k for sauna access or some shit that has nothing to do with registering a chica and ask for money. If you just take the chica upstairs he'll come running and register her for free.

I will be going to Cartagena this November, first time there and in fact will be the first time to Colombia. I have RTFF 40 pages deep (disclaimer I started from there and read up but is only halfway through) and read about someone having real bad experiences with their apartment at Palmetto Units.

I have just rented a unit via AirBNB without realizing it until I received the confirmation email. I have communicated with the person who manages all these properties prior to booking and he assures me that overnight guest or visitor (not pre-registered) is not an issue. In fact, I don't even have to pay extra. After realizing that the unit is in the Palmetto, I even asked him again for assurances, and he said it is not an issue. He said it was true in the past but is no longer the case.

I would like to ask for a second opinion from anyone in this forum if this is in fact the case.
