Cali Reports

[BayBoy]

It sounds like Dr. Amor has gone hard core now. Just give me the money baby, routine. I never went there a lot, but always thought it was a classy place to do the sex thing in Cali. Definitely will avoid from now on. Its too bad you didn't have time to go to other places in town.

I was in Cali in August where I visited what had been for a while one of my favorite places there: Clinica del Doctor Amor. Now, there certainly were (are) better places for more $$, but the place seemed at least to provide with decent talent and a good experience for the price. Despite not having the best chicas and facilities in town, it was an OK place to visit, regardless. However, things there have seriously changed for the worst. I have to sadly say that the talent, staff and experiences provided by the chicas have taken a sharp turn south.

I visited on three occasions and went with a different chica each time. The attitudes only went from bad to worse. It really felt like being in one of Tijuana's production lines with mechanical, rushed and cold fish treatment throughout the whole time. The last girl I sessioned with, which had an amazing natural rack, was hell bent on making me pop ASAP. No chemistry and no rapport whatsoever. And when I complained to the staff afterwards, they took her side over mine. Incredible! I did warn them that I would post here for others to know and skip visiting them. Now, I never found true GFE at Dr. Amor, nor did I go searching for it there, but on an average basis the sessions in the past came pretty darn close to it. Hardly the same can be said this time around. The chicas there all seemed pretty jaded, weathered, and wretched. The only good thing were the prices given current exchange rates. So now you know it. This place is a true pump 'and dump. I didn't have time to check out other places. Shame! Next time I'll make sure I do.

On the upside to my visit to Cali this time, I noticed the women throughout the city (non-pros) to be more approachable. I really enjoyed hanging around la Zona del Rio, between the Dann Carlton and the Intercontinental, and the Chipichape mall. No shortage of stunning women everywhere. Next time I'll try using some of the online dating sites with the hopes of meeting some sweet, local beauties before my arrival. Hopefully this will help speed up the closing process. LOL! I also felt safe in the city. Just don't let your guard down. Can't wait to return.

I was in Cali about three weeks ago. At Calenas Vip, the one near Chipichape I meet Daniela. Very fun chick to be with and bonus, she is a major squirter. It was like being in a porn movie, she squirted so much. So if anyone is in Cali and wants a squirter, Daniela is her name. It was a $10,000 cop entrance and for the hour, was $260,000 cop.

Read the List Thread. Prices are there.

[PepolesBuddy]

What's the average 1 hour rate for GFE including BBBJ for:

Indies?

Escorts?

Brothels?

I know it all depends on your negotiation skills and your game. But wanted to ask personal experiences.

So much that I thought it was now illegal for 2 guys to even be on a bike together.

It is in Cali. They've been discussing recently whether to increase the penalty (don't know what that is) because it still happens frequently.

Unfortunately this sort of two-men-on-a-moto stick-ups happen often enough to not really need any kind of conspiracy theories, or without a taxi driver's involvement.

The girl could also think the gringo got her coming into town just to rob her with his co-conspirators.

Unfortunately this sort of two-men-on-a-moto stick-ups happen often enough to not really need any kind of conspiracy theories, or without a taxi driver's involvement. Not sure if refueling the taxi en route is in and of itself a red flag. The guy said the driver left them alone for a few minutes and well, they could've walked away with their luggage, to get into another cab too. If the taxi driver were really in on it, he probably wouldn't have risked losing his mark and / or their fare.

I took this picture when my driver had to made a pit-stop to refuel, while driving me to a strip club in Barranquilla.

And had to get out of taxi or private car and stand back a piece every time to fuel up so far.

Could it be that the girl was part of the setup as well?

The story below was unfortunate. I went to Cali years ago and never had any issues, but I was very aware that these type of scams are common in Colombia.

Stay careful.

LOL. All that for a hostel guest with a whopping $50 in his "money clip". Doubtful.

Having read that long story about that unfortunate guy and his girl friend who got robbed by banditos / bad taxista, its too bad, but I don't think theres anything that could have been done before hand to prevent this from happening. He just got a bad apple taxista and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Cali is Cali like that clerk said. I've been to Cali 10 Xs and been to that bus station and thru that taxi line numerous times without incident. Never been robbed in Cali; maybe I'm lucky or doing something right, don't know. That guy did the right thing and gave over his cell phone and wallet (cartera) without blinking. But to know that you have a bad taxista with an attitude in advance is impossible to know.

Read this account from a forum (didn't happen to me). Be careful out there folks:

Backstory: I have been traveling Latin American for a continuous 8. 5 months now with no problems. I had already spent nearly 88 days in Colombia with zero violent incidents. The previous 13 days or so, I had passed in the south of Cali in an highly secure apartment in Ciudad Jardin. Cali was to be my last port of call in the country with 90 days in total before heading south into Ecuador over land. I was having a tough time in Cali up to this point, only doing day-game approaches with essentially zero lays (after several dates with some very sexy but flaky women). Spent almost 2 weeks in the south of the city doing strictly day game around the University del Valle area and Unicentro and some parts of the north around Centenario Mall, with only a sloppy BJ to show for it all. Which admittedly is still better than nothing.

That being said, I decided to ship in a young sexy 21 why / o Colombiana from Manizales (I had met about 5 weeks prior) for my last weekend in Colombia. I had a few lukewarm prospects for the weekend but decided on the sure things instead. She had been hitting me up lately with, "quiero verte antes de irte. " So I decided to go for the guaranteed lovin and bought her a bus ticket to Cali.

I met her at the Terminal de Transportes around 10 PM on a Friday night as her bus was actually on time. From here we grabbed a quick snack before making our way over to the taxi line. Take note this is the official taxi line. We did not hail a cab from the street which is generally not advisable in Colombia, even though I've done it several times without incident. There was a single dark-skinned Colombian guy (looked black) in front of us in the line with several other middle-class people with luggage behind us. Red flag #1, when it was time for the black guy to get a taxi, I noticed that the next available taxi actually waved off this black guy and pointed to us to come get in instead. The thought that crossed my mind was about a Chris Rock standup routine complaining how hard it is for a black person to get a taxi in NYC, but otherwise didn't think anything of it.

Red flag #2 - I was instructed to put my girls luggage in the front passenger seat. When I closed the door (a bit too firmly, apparently), the taxista started angrily complaining that I slammed it way too hard. He clearly seemed to be agitated for some reason. I apolgized and was like, "tranquilo, tranquilo. " Anyway, I gave him the address to my hotel and didn't think anything more of the situation.

Red flag #3 - about 2-3 minutes after leaving the terminal, the taxista pulled into a natural gas refueling station to fill up the tank. We were instructed to get out of the car while it was being refueled for our own safety. The taxista then disappeared for a few minutes and returned once the refueling was complete, probably 4-5 minutes later.

Ref flag #4 - we get back in the car and the guy is complaining about how expensive it cost to have to refuel his car (50,000 COP) and about how he has already been working 20 hours straight today. I was starting to now get uncomfortable at this guy's negativity but me and my girl just kinda brushed him off and thought it better to ignore him.

We slowly approach my hostel now and it is probably 10:45 PM. My hostel is located on Calle 5 across from the Library. It is quite dark, there isn't much traffic, but I didn't think anything further. The taxista approached my hostel very slowly as he appeared to be looking at the numbers to see where the hotel was. Eventually, I just said, "this is close enough, we will walk 3-4 buildings. Gracias. " We get out of the taxi, my girl gets our on the opposite side toward the driver's side / street and I get out on the opposite side on the sidewalk / passenger side. Pay the man 20 k and get about 9 k change. I have the change now in my left hand and my girl's wheeled suitcase in my right hand. Close the door gently, and the guy pulls away about 20 ft and stops.

As I turn to my right I see a guy on a motorcycle (engine quietly running) wearing all black clothing and immediately notice a semi-automatic pistol in his lap, full face helmet on his head. Immediately I knew we were fucked. Next thing I know I feel a cold hard metal object being repeatedly rammed into my right shoulder blade. I knew it was a gun (#2). I dropped the taxi fare change to the ground, and we both simultaneously put our hands up. Then, I slowly went for my iphone 4 in my left pocket and just held it up. It was snatched up immediately. I look out of the corner of my eye and I see my girl in a hysterical panic. The girl was now being approached by guy on motorbike #1, gun shoved in her face. The guy takes her huge purse and her wheeled suitcase, when a third guy on motorbike pulls up now and scoops up her suitcase. The guy then starts patting her down with one hand while holding her at gunpoint with the other. From here, I still have a gun in my back, and my guy tells me "Cartera, Cartera. " I reach into my right pocket and give him my moneyclip. From here, the guys slowly walk towards their waiting motorbikes while looking back over their shoulders at us.

Then, they just drive off, while occasionally looking back at us. I grab my girl and we immediately run into the front entrance of my hostel. The robbery is over, although she is absolutely hysterical and can barely breathe.

Overall damage: she lost what amounted to easily over $1200 USD in merchandise. For her, this is about a 3 month salary. Two smartphones, lots of nice clothing, her wallet, bank card, 30,000 pesos in cash, makeup, purse, etc. I lost about 150,000 pesos in cash, my travel bank card, my ID, and a beat-up iphone 4.

Lessons learned / advice from this experience:

(1) Whenever possible, always use easytaxi, uber, or a similar app when calling taxis in Colombia. This will ensure that you have the driver's information in the event shit hits the fan. I personally prefer using public transport when possible, but in a city like Cali this isn't really possible.

(2) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver stop en route to your destination. Taxi drivers are specifically prohibited from doing this during a taxi fare. Didn't know this at the time.

(3) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver be on his phone. People in Colombia are generally very wary / paranoid of a taxi driver on their phone because it is easy for them to tip off some waiting robbers.

(4) If your taxi driver seems agitated or in a negative mood at all whatsoever, get the fuck out of the cab and get a new one. There is no reason you should be dealing with a taxi driver with a bad attitude or bad mood.

Final thoughts.

It turns out we firmly believe that we were set up. The whole thing was planned. When we stopped to fill up the tank, we believe that the taxi driver called in the muscle during the time that he disappeared to use the bathroom. Next day, we filed a police report at the police station in the centro of Cali, then I went to the bus station and we watched the video of the registered taxi line. While at the police station telling our story, one of the clerks just shakes her head, let's out a sigh, and says, "Cali es Cali" (Cali is Cali). She seemed disappointed but completely unsurprised. Luckily, our taxi driver's vehicle was on video and we were able to get his plate number. That being said, it is highly unlikely that there will be any sort of justice done on our case. After talking with the police detective, we realized how swamped and understaffed their office seemed to be. We realize and understand that there will probably be no justice in this case, given how inefficient the justice system seems to be in this country. Lesson learned, and I hope at least one person can learn from this too.
