I did a search for you.

"If you are in Leticia, then mongering is not the reason why you are here. There are tons of excellent places in Colombia filled with gorgeous chicas and much better weather. However, if you are looking for a girlfriend for the night after exhausting trips to the jungle there are places you can visit here.

There is a place called Excalibur Bar, pink color, one story building on La Frontera (Internacional Ave) between Calle 7 and 8, right in front of the convenience store. There are two places with girls sitting in the chairs in front, bar and private rooms are in the back. It's a short walk from the hotel district in Leticia, no need for a cab, place is fairly safe, even at night. There are several stores across the street and a night food stall. You can also take a cab for 2-3 K from the center of Leticia, if you stay by the river. Talent on hand is mostly brought over here from Medellin and Cali to work for few months, about 10 to choose from, ranging from 4-8. Since there is not much competition cost are far higher than in BOG, it will cost you 80 K and there is not much room for negotiations.

Further down the street as you cross into Brazilian town of Tabatinga are few places on the left as you cross the border, but they appeared dodgy and unsafe. There is a huge local dance parties in Tabatinga if you happen to be there during the weekend, place is called Compra, if I remember correctly. Any cab from Leticia can take you there. 15 min drive for 30 K. It is for sure a sight to see, and if your Portuguese is good you might get lucky.

Stay in Leticia, on Colombian side, much more pleasant then Tabatinga. ".

"Gardenias, just get a city tour from a taxi driver (15 k COP or less) and he will drive you past it. I walked by one night (I was already occupied with a non-pro Paisa I met on a jungle tour) and there were about 20-25 chicas working and maybe 10 mongers. It is important to note that every bar / restaurant / nightclub here is an open-air outdoor affair without air conditioning, and the heat and humidity here is oppressive. ".

Does anyone know if chicas are available in Leticia. If so, where.

Thanks.

Thanks for the Manizales report, PianoPlayer! I'm headed there in early January and have been wondering if there's anything going on there. By the way, does anyone have experience with the Manizales fair the first week of January? Apparently it's as wild as Manizales gets, which for a college town could be pretty cool. Anyhow, I'll report when I'm there and really appreciate the excellent scouting.

I had to read back to 2006 to find a report with a complete list of addresses. I was in Manizales only two nights. This was not a mongering trip, and unfortunately for mongering purposes Monday and Tuesday are not the best in this smallish city.

The three chica bars on calle 27 between carrera 23 and 21 are still open.

Taberna Oasis is at 22-47 calle 27. It is open during the day, from 15:00 to 0:30. It is a small bar with about 8 chicas at tables at around 5 pm. Price is 8,000 pesos for the room and 40,000 for chica. Did not inspect rooms. Beer was 4,000 pesos. I would rate chicas 5-6 at best, most appeared over 30.

Taberna Secreto. Next door to Oasis, opens later. One block down is.

Taberna Sammy, calle 27 no 21-34, opens at 6:00, girls come later.

The other chica places I located are strip clubs near the bullfighting arena (Plaza de Toros):.

Club Joy is still there but was not open on a Tuesday night. It is on Avenida Centenario in the block before the bullfighting arena as you go down the hill. The address is calle 10,24-139 but calle 10 merges into the Avenida Centenario, which eventually becomes the Autopista del Cafe (highway towards Pereira and Medellin).

Cassa Show and Manhattan are next to each other, on Avenida Centenario, about 500 meters downhill past the Plaza de Toros. I stopped in both places, saw 3 unattractive girls in one and 2 unattractive girls in the other. The doorman at Cassa Show tried to convince me that more girls would come later (this was about 9:30 pm) but I decided not to wait.

Instead I got a taxi to Sabadell, which is a few kilometers down the Avenida / Autopista leaving Manizales, about 6,000 pesos taxi fare from Cassa Show (but only 8,000 back to centro). This clearly wants to be the high-end club. There was a 10,000 peso cover charge. The place was relatively dead on a Tuesday around 10:00 pm. Six decent chicas eventually appeared. Beer was 10,000. Cute chica's opening offer for 30 minutes in the room was 170,000, but then agreed to 150,000. The six girls were decent but not stunning, maybe 7's for my taste. They charge another 5,000 for a condom, this is the Spirit Air of strip clubs. On-site rooms are nice with beds and showers. Marcela, a blonde with big tits who told me she had worked at Pleyclub in Cartagena, was a great performer, albeit CBJ. They apparently have actual strip shows on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, but otherwise the girls just sit around staring at their cell phones.

All in all, not great for a first-time visit, but not bad either. Mongering here may be more fruitful at the weekend.

Santa Marta has gorgeous beaches but you have to travel to get to them. The beaches in the Centro are basically garbage, no reason to travel for them. The Rodadero beaches are passable but nothing special. If you go into Tayrona, there are some stunning ones that are well worth the trip. Nicer than DR, IMHO, and not as homogenized as San Andres (though I do like San Andres and the ABC islands a lot).

As far as an alternate destination in Colomba, Neiva has beach and a bit of a scene. I have known several beautiful Paisas who went there to work on little two-week stints and stuff. Sounds more expensive than a big city (as opposed to somewhere like Armenia where you can fuck local girls for a sandwich) but it's a decent option for those sick of the same old stuff.

Ok so here we are. I thought the beaches in Santa Marta had nice white sand. You are of a different opinion.

So it comes down to what you compared the beaches to. I am sure that if you compared Brooklyn Coney Island beach to Santa Marta beaches, Santa Marta wins as the best beaches. But, compared to Santa Marta to most beaches in the Dominican Republic with the crystal clear blue and warm waters, then Santa Marta dark beaches are dumps.

[Hotrod10]

First of all I'm sure you have been to many more beaches than I have. But I must say with so many posts on a sex web site you must spend a lot of time posting. Your right I have not spent near as much time on world beaches as you. Of course I did live on mission beach in San Diego for four years. It seems that the west coast beaches in North and south america have a very rough coarse sand. Mexico Matselan is the one exception. All through central america on the west coast is just like California from Colombia through Ecuador and Chile But Peru is a little different. Its hard to explained but I'm sure you have been there. So were heading down the west coast of south america. Not much beach action so lets cross over to Argentina. I spend 4-5 months a year in Buenos Aires. In a conversation I had with a friend he said another friend had told him of a beach trip in Buenos Aires. Wow, as it turns out the beach area he is talking about is really on a river called Piranas river. You got it. Every few years pirañas go on the war path and chew on a few swimmers.

Ok so here we are. I thought the beaches in Santa Marta had nice white sand. You are of a different opinion. I can live with that and really we should spend more time discussing things about our experiences in world travel. No need to make a nasty comment. +.

Elite is 4-58 Calle 1 near the bridge.

All Venezuelan girls, 15 or so. Better than Venus. Mainly 8's and 9's. But pushy chicks who sit with you and order watery beer drinks that come with a token and the bartender gives them a new drink become they finish the old one.

Also the girl tried to bluff us by saying the takeout fee alone was 400,000! Drink prices are 3 x venus. Again no cover.

Then we went to a place called Grill Jardin Lunar. Avenida Diagonal Santander #6 A-34 near the bus terminal. Very interesting place.

All the girls (like 40 of them) were Venezuelans who illegally crossed into the country days before by wading across the rover. Many of them are groups of friends who made the journey together. They live in the club and its 70,000 to. Take them out and then 200,000 cor the night.

Many of the girls are in casual clothes and unlike anything I have seen at a brothel. Lots of gems.

[Mrkuyamandla]

Addresses? I'm assuming to the clubs. No, I don't but most taxis will know where they are. Its not that large of a city. Thanks for the added info on Venus.

GF

Thanks for responding. We'll ask cabs and try your recommendations.

[GoneFishin]

Thanks for the info but do you have any addresses?

Cucuta.

Finally have something new to contribute to the forum. Flew out to Cucuta via EOH domestic airport in Medellin on EasyFly airlines. Saved money on airport run to Rio Negro which usually runs me 60 k pesos. RT cost almost 200 us for last minute booking but more than 7 days advance can be grabbed for half the cost I paid.

Easyfly has turboprops with only foot space for carry-on, which must be small or they will check it in. My regular carry on bag I checked in as it did not meet their carry-on dimensions, wasn't space for it anyway. About 1 HR flight and EOH has a good variety of shops and food if you get there early. Security was quick and only about 5 gates which you line up when called then walk out to another holding area before boarding. Cucuta airport is bare bones so take what you need as not much there.

Stayed in Holiday Inn (70 us), which is new and safe / secure part of town. Lots of quality bars / cafes / casinos / malls within walking distance. The town has an Ave 0 (zero) which could be compared to ave Poblado but scaled down to a provincial city. The malecon (street along river) is also kicking at night and can be walked with walkway on the riverside of street and all business on opposite side....

Thanks for the info but do you have any addresses?

Venus is 7-67 Avenida 4. GPS N07.88949, W072.50335.

I was just there, free cover, 60,000 for 30 minutes and about a dozen girls from Venezuela (6-8 in quality). Beer was only 3000 each (just over a buck).

In an earlier post someone mentioned that they planned to retire to Santa Marta Colombia. I thought WOW this could be great, on the Caribbean side of Colombia with great looking white sand beaches. I dove in the back seat of a taxi and said ondile ondile. The driver turned and said I do know what that means. I locked the door I said just get the F. Outa here. He took me to a close by hotel with AC. Eighteen dollars a night and a real dump but for one night I can live with it.

Ok I have been to many small cities all over the world. I'm always looking for that great place that no one has discovered. This could be that place. Eventually. The beaches were some of the beast I have seen. I think ill wait a while before I try it again.

LOL. I think you meant "andele", which is more Mexican Spanish. If the beaches in Santa Marta are some of the best that you have seen then you must have not seen many beaches. They definitely don't have white sand, and the water leaves a lot to be desired as well. A good rule of thumb is to go to the places that have the most posts on ISG. I think that would be Medellin as far as Colombia is concerned. Also take a look at tripadvisor reports while planning your trip.

P.S. There is a Santa Marta thread under the Colombia section.

In an earlier post someone mentioned that they planned to retire to Santa Marta Colombia. I thought WOW this could be great, on the Caribbean side of Colombia with great looking white sand beaches. Planning my trip I decided to fly into Barranquilla and take a 2 HR bus ride to Santa Marta. I found an apartment on the beach with Air and wifi. Thats all I cared about. Off I go. The flight and bus ride were nice. From the bus station in Santa Marta I took a short taxi ride to my apartment. The building was a 8 story run down condo. My room was on the ground floor next to the parking lot. Nice fumes. The room was a storage room with a bed and ac unit. It smelled of mold and I said this won't do. As I walked to the street for a cab the desk clerk and cleaning lady started chasing me asking me to just try it for a few nights. I dove in the back seat of a taxi and said ondile ondile. The driver turned and said I do know what that means. I locked the door I said just get the F. Outa here. He took me to a close by hotel with AC. Eighteen dollars a night and a real dump but for one night I can live with it. After checking in I asked the desk clerk for a nice restaurant nearby she said we have nice restaurents everywhere. I thought this may not be that bad and as I walked away I looked back and said do they have air-conditioning. She said no senior no restaurants in this side of town have AC. Oh yea did I mention how hot it was. The weather chanell said it was 83 f but it felt like 111 f. The wax was melting off my shoes. The clerk called me back and said don't buy anything of beef. I asked why and she said most places don't have refrigeration.

Ok I have been to many small cities all over the world. I'm always looking for that great place that no one has discovered. This could be that place. Eventually. The beaches were some of the beast I have seen. I think ill wait a while before I try it again.

My problem was that I did not make a reservation.

In the old days, when you booked online you paid more.

Not today.

Two problems for me was that I did not bring my passport, just the passport card, which they would not accept at Soratama Hotel.

So I stayed at the Ghl Hotel Abadia Plaza, which accepted the passport card.

But because I did not make reservation I paid US $86, instead of US $44 on booking.com.

Although I did use booking.com for the second day.

[World Travel 69]

Also, it is in a better area and much nicer.

That Whiskeria Dona Tere is a small version of Bar La 20 in Cali. Physically kind of like San Sonero. And my misprint its not bib tits but big tits. Haha.
