Bogota Reports

Does anyone have any recommendations for a true "love hotel" around the Santa Fe area? Or one around Caracas and Calle 63 that may have a jacuzzi and other features?

If you want listings of "love hotels" in Bogota and Medellin you should try.

Not to discourage you from checking out a very fun hobby but; a big discount on one or two or a few loose stones?

Forget it. Aint gonna happen. You have to buy in lots to get good per carat rates, regardless of color, clarity, cut.

Go to:

The Emerald Trade Center, Avenida Jiménez No. 5- 43, and walk through the bottom floors where you can freely rome until you feel comfortable striking up a conversation with someone. Not to the retail jewelry shops nearby. It's near the Museo de Oro stop for the Transmilenio. Google it. You'll find plenty of info online.

Also while you're down there, you might want to tour the Museo de la Esmeralda in the same area but a block or two or three away in the Avianca Building. A very interesting and educational tour. Google it. You'll find it.

Have fun. It's a great hobby. But IMO, even if you know what you're doing and, if you're not an expert negotiator with lots of time, you can only realistically "hope" to achieve a decent dollar value buy but much personal satisfaction knowing that you found it yourself close to the source in Colombia. Well, not THE source in Boyaca, but at the main trading area in Bogota.

Sorry I really can't go on about this, you'll have to take it from there.

Have fun, I find it another fascinating aspect of Colombia.

I agree with S. I looked at this a while back, and emerald grading turns out to be much more difficult than diamond grading, and much easier to falsify.

Reputable jewelers won't touch stones from unestablished contacts for fear of getting sued. And even then occasionally get burnt.

Does anyone know anything about buying an emerald while in Bogota? I'm not looking for investment grade. I thought I might be able to pick up a loose stone for a big discount of what it would cost in the US. Ideas? Suggestions? Or have any connections?

It is on the NW corner of 15 and calle 104. You cant miss it.
Up a dozen stairs and there is a walk around with Suite numbers. As you walk by you will notice some doors are open just a crack for the mamasan to look out. They windows are blanked out with paper with the suite number on it.
Just walk up to the door and the mamasan will open it.
It is very easy to acces.

Went to the Mezzane on Carrea 15, Calle 104, there were two doors open for business the first door had eight ladies, I choose a very pretty well built lady, fee was 70,000 for about 45 minutes. Began with a massage, then bbj, then cowgirl. The lady was a definate head turner. This was my 4th visit to this Mezzine, i will return

This place sounds interesting! Were the girls young and pretty overall? Can you describe the front of the place so I have some idea of what to look for? I'm thinking of going back in Jan/Feb.

Thanks for the report

Visited the Jazz casion, was playing the slots, an reasonably attractive 35 yr old MILF sat next to me, she was a pro, offered a massage for $30, landed up doing an hour of fs for $70. I was notlooking for company, she was.

Lots of phony postings here. Be careful when reading some of these reports. They are trying to convince you it is normal to pay outlandish prices so they can fix you up with their girls for hundreds of dollars a night and laugh all the way to the bank.
