I sent whatsapp message directly to Nutubara to book the hotel but they have not responded to my request in last 24 hours.
I am looking at these hotels but not sure if they are chica friendly. Can somebody confirm that they are chica friendly?

Inflation is more an issue, and typically everything goes up the first of the year in Colombia like clockwork like taxi fares, and other things. Because all businesses only accept Colombian Pesos, the declining peso doesn't factor into their pricing, but other things do. What's interesting is that I remember when the exchange rate was 1,800 CP to the USD, so in reality a lot of things have not gone up in the last ten years due to the strong USD, and in fact, some things are actually cheaper than ten years ago. So a girl going for 20,000 COP ten years ago, who now goes for 30,000 COP actually costs less now than ten years ago.
Just my observation, and I'm not an economist.

Posts: 3801METRO Information

I have seen horrendous lines at the Poblado Metro Station starting around 5 PM that go all the way from the turnstile entrances all the way to Avenida Las Vegas and down a ways. And once you go down to the stairs to the platform, it's a whole other scene when the cars show up heading to Centro at this hour. Lot's of times people don't get in and if they do it can be like a can of sardines.
When ever I see the Metro crowded like that, I walk down to the end of the platform as typically every body wants to get in the front cars so they don't have to walk down the Platform. Lots of times when I head to Centro I make sure I leave Poblado by no later than 4:00 PM and typically no problem with a wait to get on. And typically when I return say around 6 PM, it's not to bad heading back from the Parque Berrion Station.
So for guys staying at Hotel Nutibarra and heading to Poblado, it's not really a problem going in that direction, but in the other direction it can be a nightmare. So for guys who are going out to dinner, and returning before 11 PM when the METRO shuts down it's perfect.
Other considerations are the frequency of the trains which vary during the day, and there is limited service on Sundays meaning you may have to wait 15 minutes for a car. Another bottleneck / gaggle is the San Antonio Station at times and travelling from the Hotel Nutibarra to Laurels at rush hour can be challenging, and a taxi ride as well at that time.
Also, it's best to get a Civica card which I think they charge 6,000 for and then load it up with credit. The reason I point this out as I have seen long lines of people buying single rides or more and having to wait a long time in line. I carry two Civica cards with me, and keep them loaded up. Also with a Civica card travel on the connecting bus lines is included as well.
Another alternative to the Metro are the public busses of which there are many, but you don't want to ride them anywhere at rush hour. There also is a bus that leaves from around the corner of Hotel Nutibarra which goes to Parque Poblado which I have taken at times from Centro as well.

Posts: 68USD to COP affecting prices?
These relationships sometimes spike and result in nothing, but sometimes they show signs of change quickly.
The dollar is nearing 4000 COP. Has any one seen prices impacted in the meat trade? Historical charts show the declining value of the COP, did mongers experience price adjustments that rose above their corresponding USD value?
I get the sense that this is a very cost conscious group and even the slightest upshift in cost would be reported here. I mostly see comments about more working girl mongers arriving in SA since other areas are shut down, which has increased demand, throwing the market out of wack. So, anyone notice a changing pricing scheme due to the declining peso, or is it transitory and the girls are going to eat ot?

1. Close to the Metro station might be misleading. From the Poblado station there's a rather steep hill to climb.
2. The Poblado station gets very busy, so you will want to plan accordingly.

The rule has only been in effect for three days, so things can change before the first of the year.
