I will be in Pereira from now until about Sept 3 if you want to look for a little action on the side before the big day with the future wife. Or if anyone else wants to meet up just leave me a PM.

Regarding hotels, I am just going to have the taxi driver take me around until I see something I like.

Hello,

Can anymone recommend a good hotel in Pereira? I will be there from 1. September on. I have to arrange with my colombian girlfriend a lot of documents for our marriage.

This is how it can go: Met her first time nearly 1 year ago and now we speak about to marry.

Thanks,

Oliver

Alvero is very honest and trustworthy most everyone who has used him has thanked me for recommending him. Always get him to give you a price upfront on everything, remember you can always say no. He also knows non-pro & pro girls for you. He is an English speaking taxi driver that I met while in Medellin, and has branched out. He has purchased a new much larger car (not a taxi) and is providing side trips outside of Medellin around Colombia for a very reasonable price. I talked to him yesterday and he asked me to spread the information that he is more than willing to take you on excursions to Manizales, Pereira, Armenia etc. to enhance your Colombian mongering experience. He still has his taxi that you can hire for the day or night for very cheap. Call him ahead of time tell him when you are going to arrive & he will be waiting for you at the airport to take you to your hotel or apartment. He charges 60.000cop

I have used him before and his services made my Colombian vacation much better, since I don't speak Spanish his help was invaluable and he really knows the area and lots of girls.

Here is his contact information:

This is Alvero's cell number from Medellin:
316-252-2882

From the U.S.:
011-57-316-252-2882

Tell him Scooby referred you.

Can anyone advise current situation in Cucuta as to personal safety / what's happening there?

David33 was asking about La Dorada in Caldas state. El Dorado is a different place, apparently in the south of Colombia somewhere.

By the way, the lady that I know who used to teach in La Dorada, happily relocated back to Manizales, having gotten a job at one of the universities there. She used to tell me of her journeys there and back, the FARC roadblocks, the military roadblocks, the people who'd come into town, etc.... Enough things to let me know, she wasn't bs-ing when she said she needed to leave. We meet only in Manizales or Bogota.

She's 100% Colombian, born and raised. Imagine a gringo going there.

Here are a couple of links I came across and remembered the dialogue here about El Dorado. It refers to a farc incident/killing that happened a week or two ago in the town.

Hey Kickboxer,

I've corresponded with a very cute chica from Cucuta. I'm looking for threads on past expeditions to this border town. Strictly, for the info and curiosity. The chica hasn't asked me to visit but I feel like she is still trying to set the hook. I'm playing along, right now, because it's such a kick to watch it unfold. Plus the fantasy factor of adventuring into this jungle country is way too cool. These women are as dangerous as they are beautiful. Lucky for me, it's hard to play a player. I salute you for your empathy towards our brotherhood.
