Thank you brother! I'm in Denver waiting for my flight. 19 fucking degrees outside and I am walking around the airport in flip-flops!

It's the old colonial fort. I would say it is the main tourist attraction of Cartagena. It has restaurants and bars and shops and houses and parks inside.

Cumming soon, what and where is the walled city?

Thank you in advance.

This is where you would find the disco Tu Candela and Isis that have been mentioned numerous times on the forum. Also many fine dining restaurants are located here. It is also where the clock tower is located that also has been mentioned an endless number of times.

Agree with both points and what you do depends on the individual circumstance. Take home message for me is not to walk around at night in CTG, which I did all the time but only in old town.

And I might add if you are going to be walking around after dark it is highly recommended you have someone with you, but the bottom line is it is not safe for anyone to walk alone anywhere other than in Laguito, and even at that you have the corrupt police to worry about, and do not think they are not there. The best thing to do is not be so cheap and take taxis everywhere you want to go at night, other than inside of the walled city, but even there it is easy to be robbed walking from one place to the next. As familiar as I am with Cartagena, very very rarely will I walk alone outside of the Laguito area after dark, and this includes wandering around the inside of the walled city. To many desperate people hanging out looking for the right opportunity to get someone.

Easier said than done. When you have two corrupt cops in the middle of the night stopping you with automatic rifles and nobody is around. You are lucky if they only search you and take a few bucks. Maybe during the day with people watching showing some resistance and disagreements maybe okay but the night is a different animal. Whether is legal or illegal I won't resist and would give everything I got if that is what they want.

I wrote about what happened to you a few months ago regarding the cop searching you. In Colombia, this is an illegal search and seizure just like in the US. When a few cops tried to do this to me in El Centro I told them in Spanish it was not legal and refused their request. They let me pass and immediately picked on two more foreigners.

I spent 5 days in Cartagena in early December. I was there with a friend who wasn't interested in prepagas, so I wasn't able to engage as much as I otherwise would have, but I thought I'd include some of my experiences to give back to the board as the board gave me so much.

Night 1 of prepagas (a Wednesday). I went out late. I arrived at LDV at approx 2 am. I'd say 20 girls and 6-8 guys. The quality varied from 5 to 9. I didn't want to rush so I got a vodka tonic for 28 k and sat down to look. I looked around, not being too eager, and got another vodka tonic for 28 k. I'm noting the cost of course as it was 1) expensive and 2) I was aware of the concept of a spending minimum. A lot of guys complain on this board about LDV being full of silicone. So what? I love that shit. If you like small tits, choose a destination other than Colombia. Anyway, at 2:30 am, the place starts to clear out including the two I was thinking about approaching. Shit. I grabbed the best looking prepaga left, a 6. 5 named Jennifer. She started at 300 k for 2 hours. I countered with 200 k, and we settled at 250 k. The negotiations were done outside of LDV. Since it seemed like exit time for everyone, no one asked or seemed to care about my drink minimum. I clearly didn't care since I had spent 56 k on two vodka tonics (which I think were entirely tonic). I was in a hotel that was not chica friendly, so she suggested some spot in el centro (I think it was sol why Mar.). Hard to believe you have to go that far (from LDV) to find a place to get down, but it was what it was. I paid 68 k for 2 hours in room - 30 k per hour plus a beer for her and a water for me. Later, I negotiated another 100 k (350 k total) for el culo. It was something I hadn't done before, so I wanted to try it. For those who haven't, I think it's a waste. It's not that different. Overall, she was sweet. Nice fake cans, but a little too skinny for my taste. She said she was in town for 11 days to make money to support her family.

Night 2 of prepagas (a Friday). I wanted to try el reloj. Maybe 30 girls of varying quality. Tonight, I wanted a threesome. Again, something I haven't done before. Or at least each time it wasn't the experience I wanted (aka the shit you see in porn where the girls are as much into each other as they are into the guy). I looked around and found what I thought was a pretty good looking girl named Carol. It looks like you'll find her there every night as she was there when I went back later another day (there are at least two prepagas in front of el reloj named Carol, this one has almond eyes). She seemed like a 6. 5, but I'd bring that down to a 5 when she got undressed with her pancake tits. Anyway, I told her what I wanted, and she brought over her friend. A negra fea with braces. I told her I wasn't interested. She bought over someone else. Also a fea. I told her we'd find someone attractive together. We found this gorgeous girl, whose name I don't remember. It ended in INA. She was gorgeous. I'd say she was a 8, but then with clothes off. She was a 9. Perfect 22 year old body. Anyway. I made it clear (or tried to) what I wanted. I negotiated 300 k for each prepaga for 3 hours. Of note. I always negotiate unlimited polvos. I've been burned by that before. So Carol takes us to sol e Mar., I think, where the prices are insane. They wanted 45 k per hour because there were three of us. The other girl whose name I can't remember took us to another place where it was 40 k (I think) for the whole time. It was not too far. Overall, the girls, as you can imagine were minimally into each other. The girl, Carol, got fucking jealous because I was concentrating on the other girl. Why the fuck does a prepaga get jealous? It was also kind of lame because the hot one claimed she was tired and her chucha hurt. Overall, two polvos, and a fair threesome. I'll have to cross it off my bucket list since I'll never get what I want with prepagas.

Night 3 of prepagas (a Saturday). I decided to see what was in Tu Candela. I found a gorgeous girl named Sol, and we settled on 300 k for 2 hours. This was a quick find, I didn't look around too much (more coming on Tu Candela). Interestingly, I saw Jennifer from the first night and the super the super hot girl from the threesome. Sol was very sweet. A solid 8 in my eyes. Short, but pretty with nice sized fake tetas. She had an apartment in Laguito, and we sessioned there. Overall, it was pretty standard. One funny thing she said was that she had a baby when she was 15, which she said is very common in Colombia. Such girls usually take two paths. The ugly ones work in offices and the pretty one become prepagas. Like Jennifer from the first night, Sol was in town from Cali for a couple weeks to make money.

Night 4 of attempted prepagas (Sunday). This night, I went back to Tu Candela. I saw Carol outside of Tu Candela who wanted me to go with her, but I wanted something better. I was unimpressed with all the options in front of el reloj so I said let's go to Tu Candela. She said they wouldn't let her into Tu Candela because of her shorts. So I said see ya later. I went into Tu Candela, and I looked for prepagas, but everywhere I looked, it seemed to be couples. I found some locals who brought me over and bought me a drink. They were normal people, and I just sat and talked for a while. All of a sudden. The place is closing (I had been there a couple of hours). I think it was 4 am. Now it gets weird. I go looking for Elektra. Which Jennifer generally pointed out to me the first night. I'm walking down some street in el centro. Two cops on a motorcycle come riding down the street. They want to search me for perico, which I was prepared for after reading this board. I was also prepared to potentially be accosted / robbed by transvestites, which Carol also told me was a possibility. This is what sucks. The cops stole from me. I had my money in my pocket, and the cops, who seemed very friendly, asked me to take everything out of my pockets. I give them my money, hotel key, credit card, etc, and they hand it all back to me eventually. Well, I later discover that I'm short 150 k and $100. They took all my bills with 50 denominations, my 50 k peso bills and my $50 bills. I didn't realize it until later, but I wonder what I would have done if I had noticed in real time at 4 am on a deserted street with two cops in a foreign country. Anyway. I go looking for a place for prepagas. I find myself at this place with about 8 prepagas and 3 guys. None of the girls interest me, so I head home. Was it Elektra or Elektrika? Or Paparika? Or something else? I don't know. I didn't ask.

Separately, I also arranged a trip to Playa Blanca in my hotel. We stopped off at some other island first for snorkeling and some other stuff. Several notes - 1) it's a long trip to Playa Blanca. It's 45 minutes each way over some really choppy water (ie not an enjoyable trip). Playa Blanca sucks. It's crowded, not that great, and the people are not attractive. I only saw the Boca Grande beach from a distance, but it looked *much* better. Not seeing the daytime action in Boca Grande was my biggest regret. I also wish I had gone back to LDV during prime time. I'd rather have gotten there at midnight to see the best options there.

David, nice report.

Too bad about the cop shake down. That is terrible.

Re prepagos getting jealous: Welcome to latina culture. Ha ha.

Hey guys!

irst off thanks for all your posts, I been reading them and learning a lot. I have traveled all around South America, and been to Medellin 4 times, but this will be my first trip to Cartagena and I am excited. I won't have much time there so trying to get on the ground running. Can you please look over what I learned / questions I have and help me out. It will be much appreciated.

1. LDV is the popular spot to get working girls. Price is generally between 200 k - 500 k depending on the girl and how long you want them. It seems general s / t is starting at 250 k. There seems to be a 100 k bar fine for taking out a girl? Meaning I have to drink around $50 us in drinks? Now, I am by no means a cheapskate, but I am riding solo and that seems like a bit high especially because I plan on going to other non-working girls clubs and spending money over there. To avoid this fee, I read that you ask the girl to meet you downstairs outside in 5 minutes or so? Does this work? How strict are these clubs on your minimum drink order. I figure I'd have 2 drinks, but $50 USD worth of drinks seems extreme considering the circumstances.

2. Another popular place to pick up girls is the Clock Tower. The prices seem to be 150 k s / t. Questions I have is. Is this place safe? I hear stories about trannies pick pocketing? Are they near the clock tower, or do you see them if you walk in certain areas? How far is this from Boca?

3. Hollywood beach is where the girls are, but there are scum everywhere. From people who are trying to rip you off (avoid and no gracias), to fat Tony. Now, my question is how should I play Hollywood beach to get the most out of it, and the least hassle. I read that I maybe should skip Tony and deal with Fao, and if I need help with girls ask Emily the massage girl? Does Tony, Fao and Emily all speak English? If I deal with Tony, the advice seems to be. Be firm and nice, set prices up front I. E. Beach chair = 10 k, and avoid buying many drinks from him or bring your own cooler and offer him shots. If I sit at Fao's part, I can still try to talk to the girls correct? I mean, Tony does not own these girls. Experienced mongers, please let me know the best way I should handle Hollywood. Thanks!

4. There are a lot of late night options that I read in Viper's reports etc. Are there any brothels though? Anything good during the daytime / early evening besides the places mentioned?

Thanks so much in advance!

I have no problem with LDV trying to make some money but I think 80 k-100 k of drinks for each lady is to much. I will easily put back 5-10 drinks a night there, I like to make sure the girl is willing to party before leaving with her. There are too many to not get what you want.

Back in Cartagena for a couple of days. Visited LDV last night for about 3 hours before selecting a lady. I observed the owner at least 3 times briefing new ladies on the rules of LDV outside the bar. Was close enough to hear that he essentially told them they would not be let back in if they immediately left with a customer before convincing the hombre to buy himself or them a couple of drinks. So the games continue with LDV. I usually just make a date with them and tell them to meet me 20 minutes later downstairs.
