Cartagena Reports

[ElPapi]

Loblaws,

I was very lucky, just had to buy a new phone with a Colombian SIM card and continued my trip. I could cost many days delays and lots of money if I lost the passport and wallet. How can I explain losing everything in Colombia to family and friends? I feel the bros should report all crimes, abuses, offenses wherever they go to help others avoid them.

In my case the Vennie I picked up had a plan to steal from the start. Right after we got in the taxi heading back to Boca Grande, she said she was hungry and needed food. It was past 2 AM, nothing was open on the way back. In the room I took my clothes off; she sat on the bed, refused to take clothes off, again said she wanted something to eat. She was trying all along to distract me from guarding my valuables. With just a towel around my waist, left wallet and phone in my pants, I walked down to wingman's room to get her a beer. She followed me out to the hall way. I thought she may try to steal my wallet, but did not think she could move that fast. While I waited for my wingman to get me the beer, I occasionally looked back to my room; she was out in the hallway. I walked back with the beer. She was sitting on the bed inside the room, looking nervous, but I still did not believe she could move so fast. Stupid me, because a pretty girl in NYC was able to cross the room, stole my wallet and returned to her spot like nothing happened, all within 30 seconds while I was in the bathroom. These thieves and pick pockets are extremely fast with their art. Don't underestimate them..

Sorry to hear that bro. Been reading lot of report about stealing, robbing and other things. Be careful folks. I have mentioned before use OneFireboy. He is local in Cartagena and can guide you through the city and with girls. He can go with you to the clubs and help you translate also. It's just sad to hear these kind of stories.

Jesus Christ. This has to be mongering 102. Never take your clothes off until the girl takes her clothes off. Does not even need to be mentioned leaving your valuables where someone can get them. There are really some professional rookies on this board. Experience is the best teacher, but please go back and watch The Mack. There is a scene where the trick is in the bathtub and the girl is not in the bathtub and fully clothed. She made off with his shit. He ran into rhe street naked talking about how his wife was going to kill him because his entire pay check just walked away.

I've been reading these forums over the years. Mostly just fantasizing, and *finally* that's going to turn to reality. I hope.

Up until a few days ago, I had things narrowed down to a few locations in the western hemisphere, and finally decided on Cartegena. But with all the posts over the last few days, I'm wondering if I'm being dumb. I'm planning on going last week in April. I'll be going solo with as much Spanish as I can learn in between now and then. The idea would be to setup something via SA, and failing that, something from the street.

Almost 60 year old guy from the US in Cartegena. Are there additional things I can do to mitigate this risk, or am I just an easily identified target from 1000 yards away?

She sat on the bed drinking the beer, wanted money first. I refused. She got mad. I asked her to leave. She threatened me with something like "muy malo" as she exited the room. I thought about checking her hand bag, but being a gentleman I did not want to insult her. Couple minutes later I found out the phone was gone, but lucky she did not steal the wallet and passport, which could be a huge problem.

The hotel manager said there are lots of theft problems with hookers. They would steal anything they can get their hands on, including his computer accessories and table fan. The thieves are very fast. Don't take any chance with them.

I could not find any club girls in all 3 major Col cities to suit my taste. They were all big, chunky, heavy, homely. The few skinny club girls turned out to be transsexuals with deep, horrible broken voices.

Tijuana has hundreds hot girls every night in HK, many model quality. , also lots of hot girls in escort sites, Seeking and Tinder. My wingmen and I usually do 3 or 4 girls each night. Tijuana's bar zone is under protection by the Sinaloa cartel, so nobody dares to pull crimes in their territory. I have been going to Tijuana just every weekend for 22 years. Have never been robbed or lost anything in all those years.

I just returned from 14 days solo in Cartagena and had no trouble. But first, let me say that I did not do any mongering on my trip. I'm not drawn to the Cartagena ladies. If I wanted that, I would have gone to Bogota where the girls are more my style, and neighborhoods like Santa Fe or Candelaria are more accessible and generally safe. I stayed in the Historic Center, and in Bocagrande, and took a side trip to Baru. I met up with a nice lady from Colombian Cupid the last few days and went around with her. I went out walking or to the beach during the afternoons, and strolled around in the evenings, and played the tourist. And ate the crummy local food in average restaurants. And rode around in yellow taxis. I know this site is about mongering, but I just wanted to say that for two weeks, I saw no signs of criminals or crimes, and nobody bothered me (except some pushy venders at the beach). Judging from the posts, I cannot recommend CTG for pursuit of the hobby, and recommend to all to play it safe.

Most notably he states how after speaking with the police, this isn't the first time it's happened / gringo being kidnapped and robbed. I wonder how many stories of this crazy shit guys really aren't sharing on these boards or on YouTube, Facebook, etc. Hats off to this gentleman for sharing his story.

At Captain Solo. Happy you're okay, brother. We don't know each other but thank you for your story. A few friends of mine just cancelled their flights to Colombia. I'm still scheduled to go in a few months but if this shit keeps up I'll probably follow suit.

The word I got last year was that the policía aren't putting effort into solving any case involving guys who get robbed by chicas they don't know. I suspect they publicized this to discourage guys from coming.

The guy's name is Jonathan Diaz from Baton Rouge. This is a very serious crime, scary as shit!

A Vennie hooker from the Clock Tower stole my phone in the hotel, lost all my contacts, was in deep shit for a couple days. Lucky I had all hotels and flight bookings printed out on paper, also saved in my email, so I could continue my trip to other cities in Colombia and returned to the US.

A wingman did far worse taking a club girl back to his apartment. He got drugged, woke up the next morning the girl was gone, his wallet, money, phone, passport all stolen. The girl could have overdosed and killed him too. Lucky he had a wingman who bailed him out, but they had to go to US Embassy in Bogota and waited a couple days for emergency passport replacement. If you travel solo, you would be really fucked, stuck in a foreign country without money, phone, passport. Having hotels record the girls' IDs would be a layer of protection. Or take pics of them and their IDs and immediately upload them into cloud, just in case they steal your phone too hehe.

Looks like Colombia is rife with all kinds of criminals, ready to prey on sex tourists. Kidnap. Torture, extortion are serious terrorists' crimes. Policias won't do shit to investigate and prosecute crimes against mongers, knowing they will likely not coming back.

There's no reason to hit up Cartagena when many other options are available and they are far less dangerous. Especially if you are solo.

I still feel he slipped. Take taxi only. Or now even bus. Keep everything in your control. Flashy hotel. Flashy pics. Don't show off.

Meet out some where busy already. Or else have her straight come over if that's all you're after. Do your deed. Done.

How do you guys feel about Uber? They can't plan that??

[TheBarbarian]

I've been in city and country for five days with four more to go. The reported robberies and beatings are all unfortunate. That being said, why people don't move the same as if they were in the inner cities of Chicago, New York or LOS Angeles is beyond me. Further, if you wouldn't enter these neighborhoods stateside or in your country, why do so abroad.

My contributions today:

Luxury Spa and HOM Spa. Both places offers extras. Expect to pay 150 k for a 60 min massage and requested 100 k to finish. Negotiate of course.

The three clubs (Dolce, Space and Delirium) are all come as you are with girls waiting to be chose. With that, it seems like many of them have set their asking price to $100-150 USD.

Hollywood Beach aka Playa Hollywood. Most girls are working there (it seems) literally just exchange WhatsApp.

* Anyone willing to give pointers, know of any good spots to check out, I'm all ears*.

Thanks for everyone's contributions.

I can't see that but I suppose it is the same thing that my buddies put in our chat today about an American millionaire getting kidnapped in Cartagena by some girl he knew and her friends. They rode him around and beat him and got passwords out of him, transferring money from PayPal and using his credit cards and shit. In all they got him for $10,000.

2 of my chicas sent me this today because they know I'm coming next week for carnival. All I have to say is, if you are going there for the celebrations, be careful with who you are meeting. It doesn't matter if its website, dating app or off the street, be careful.

If you're going to walk around at night don't do it solo and don't dress like a tourist.

So you are seeing them spread out too? I am not sure if the Christmas crowds caused it but last time I was in CTG there were about a half dozen WGs near the Nao Mall on Carrera 2 in Bocagrande. I do not know prices because I do not do WGs, but I would think this spot may get more popular as it is closer to the tourist spots. No one was hassling the women either.

Honestly, having the WGs at the clock tower has to be an eye sore for the city. The clock tower area was an amazing sight at Christmas, and families and children were out in force.

Those girls aren't really new. At night, Bocagrande has always had a working girl scene. It's just more spread out. Even better, a growing number of girls are renting rooms down there to make it even more accessible. In Laguito, Hollywood Beach Suites and a few others must have opened their doors to the trade because you'll see ladies advertising in calls there. And it makes a lot of sense. Tourists do not want to go to Pie de la Popa or Campestre where they stick out. It's a lot more safe and convenient. Very smart by the ladies.
