Cartagena Reports

[Vitrea]

It is not a pickup bar / disco. Most of those that go to Mr. Babillas are couples or friends in groups. If you go there expecting to find someone, you more than likely will come away disappointed. Tu Candela is much better for this, and then you also have the all the girls hanging out outside the place and in the Plaza.

Old Par is absolutely right. Mr Babilla is where you take your girl after the negotitiations are done (for some foreplay dancing in a less crowded setting), away from the hungry eyes of the other competing mongers. There are working girls there but they are already hooked up with guys. They don't go there to get picked up.

WTF? So is the action gone?

After the raid by my beach home of a sex tour ring that was operating in South and Central America, Cartagena has some new systems in place! All taxi drivers are to report ant tourist or local requesting info. On sex. Yep! They run the risk of loosing the Taxi license and a heafty fine for not reporting you. So if you read my other post. Buyer Beware, Cartagena after Obama denied any wrong doing by the Secret Service scandal, and now the sex ring bust, well, be careful, its on the radar map!

By chance, is his name Henry?

LDV is 100%. Watch tower is 95%. Sometimes a unsuspecting tourist will go sit on a bench. LOL. BTW, by the Watch Tower, there is this Colombian guy that speaks English that says he can hook you up. He will probably expect a tip, but if you don't speak Spanish, it's an option.

I would appreciate if anybody who is there in CTG would report how is the situation in these days, after the local press started the campaign against prostitution and the police to enforce controls. I heard that police closed a few clubs at Bomba de el Amparo and started to push away girls from Reloy.

Is LDV up and running? What about other clubs? Thank you.

Well, decent indeed.

If it rains you will have a tough time. Get numbers from girls you like. Then if it rains you can call them. You will find action everywhere. But it's not like Sosua in dr where there walking around and at every bar. But if it's sunny there are always girls by beach. They smile you smile. Before long your balls deep!

Not much of a report of your trip to Medellin, and you did promise a report so why not honor your word and post a report? What you did post was very very lame, and contained no information what so ever that could be beneficial to others. How about sharing with us other bars or restaurants you went to, pricing, how about a comparison between Cartagena and Medellin? Your thoughts on what you liked and did not like about Medellin? How was the quality of the girls? How and where did you find the apartment you rented? Would you stay in it again?

Come on You Can, honor your word about providing a report, you can do it! Your kindness in providing the information I requested would be most helpful to many.

You always fail to honor your promises You Can? You promised to post a report about your experiences in Medellin, but only posted some lame chit. How about giving back to the forum and answering my questions in my post above, as your feedback can be beneficial to others, especially those who are contemplating going to Medellin or Cartagena.

To Raeder21's point, at night is LDV and the Watch Tower the only places where 100% of the girls are working?

Working girls are scattered all over. It is not in Colombian culture to make the first move. If you are interested, go talk to her like a real girl. If she is working, she will make it clear before you go back.

To Raeder21's point, at night is LDV and the Watch Tower the only places where 100% of the girls are working? If I am at a bar in El Centro will I find some action? Should I believe if a girl is out, dress sexy and without a man as a working girl? I know I have been told I need to be aggressive with these Colombian but I would hate to find a girl I want and she is not a working girl. I am not really into Casas.

Also want if it rain during the day, where should I go. I want to get as much action in as my body take.

Just talk to her and treat her like a regular girl and see what happens. Most will make it perfectly clear if they are working.

As somebody who will be visiting CTG for the first time, there has been a lot of good information posted over the past week. Like I mentioned before, I have plenty of experience in other cities in Colombia and a handful of other countries. But visiting a new place is always a toss up.

You guys have even provided us general pricing on drinks / cabanas / etc. Thank you for that! Really helps so I don't get ripped off.

From everything I've read, it seems like I'll be having an awesome time!

I do have one last (very general) question, and I'm sure everybody will have their own opinions on this. I'm going with a group of friends and we will mostly be day drinking, partying at night and finding chicas all day / night. Where do you guys recommend that I should go for the best chicas during the day / night? Playa Hollywood seems to be the spot during the day. Relaxing and drinking and just wait for the right chica. What spots are the "go-to" at night? And I'm not a snob, but I would like to find 8's and 9's (10's will probably be too much $$ Since my Medellin trip I've been wanting to go back to Colombia for a long time and I want the creme of the crop! LOL.

Once again, thanks for all the information you guys have provided. Without it, I'd feel so much more lost.

I can appreciate the point you make, but I also know that not everything about Colombia falls neatly into a mindset of viewing it as "third world".

In looking at the version of generic I last bought while in Cartagena, I see that it was manufactured by Lafrancol, a Colombian company with a 100-year history in the the Pharmaceutical and Consumer Goods sectors in Colombia. They have significant sales abroad and are a forerunner in the development and launch of new products. They have an extensive portfolio of products consisting of a wide range of drugs designed to treat different types of diseases, and at the same time meet the needs of patients and physicians, and offering high quality products at a fair price.

Agree- not everything about Colombia is third world. Certainly its banking and infrastructure is first world.

Everyone reacts differently to certain meds. Mongers that have adverse reactions to Colombian generic meds should use USA original medications. It is really a case by case situation.
