Cartagena Reports

[Brother P]

Had an awesome time in Cartagena! The little private beach at the condo is nice! Stuck with the same two chicas all trip.

Met one at delirium, the other was a referral from Tony at the beach.

Even with a lot of chicas being home for the holidays there was a nice selection. Cartagena has plenty to see and do. Taxis are inexpensive. Laguito and Boca grande have plenty of places to eat and drink. So you can mix it up and not always go to centro. Only saw about half of the things I want to see. Can't wait to come back!

Could someone provide the names of a few hourly motels near the tower. Looking for a nicer place if possible. Looking to have a couple of girls from online visit and do not think they can get in where I am staying.

Will be in Cartagena on the fourth. There seems to be conflicting opinions as to the fun to be had with the ladies in Cartagena. From what I can tell, the place has slowed down but it is coming back. There are fewer ladies than before Covid but there are ladies and 9's and 10's if you look. Do I have it about right? Where would be a good place for my first drink? I'm buying.

Went back to centro around 11 to meet a friend for a drink.

It was crazy! Apparently everyone comes out late! Wild time! I hope vodka shots kill covid because at that point I wasn't safe at all! Lmao!

Last night was too much fun. I ended up spending NYE at the club in the 2nd floor of Delirium. It was an awesome night, And Yes! Absolutely no safe distance. Met a group of Paisas that invited me to their table and we were all drinking aguardiente from each other's shot glasses. If I had not had a positive antibodies test result, I would have not come to Cartagena. LOL.

Because of COVID they are also clamping down on sex tourism. Go to Brazil. It's cheaper and most hotels are chica friendly in Rio. You just ask them what their guest policy is.

Cartagena is a waste of time, money, and just a headache right now.

What about Medellin? Same thing as Cartagena since same country?

I'll keep that in mind bro. Thanks!

Woke up around 830. Went for coffee, hit the gym. Was going to the private beach but security told la policia was going to shut it down, which they eventually did. Tmmw is supposed to be back to normal. Had a chica come over. Good service as usual. Went downtown early. Hit a new American owned bar. Mondo exotico. Nice guy and nice place. Got a little insight into the Cartagena expat experience.

Hit click tower bar. Always a good time and good drinks.

Was going to hit delirium for a few drinks. Heard they were serving dinner until 12. What? LOL. Came back to laguito.

Most bars closed at 10. LOL. Going to call it an early night. But overall a great trip!

Hit the gym, breakfast, then the beach. Everything on the beach is spaced out. Chicas are slowly coming back. My favorita won't be back until January. Had an amazing lunch at sabores del Mar. In laguito. Fish with shrimp and mussels. Had my porn star venezolana come back. She was amazing! Later hit clock tower bar in centro. Good time. Variety of American music. From rolling stones to kool in the gang! Lmao! Some pretty chicas but mostly the be team. Hit delirium bar for some drinks. Nice talent. Got a few numbers. Didn't like the hookah smoke.

I like Cartagena. I can definitely see myself living here. Plenty to do. Not cheap, but affordable.

I've been trying to find a nicer apartment that's chica friendly. No luck so far. Many places are not guest friendly.

I really want to know this information too, specifically for new years!

Cartagena had bars and clubs open until midnight or 1 am when I was there the week before Christmas.

All bars in Medellin close at 10 pm, so I might come back to Cartagena for new years, if someone can confirm the info!

I'll be in CTG for NYE as well. For what I've read, in Cartagena, bars will close at 3 AM for NYE.

Is Cartagena is operating as normal? They didn't impose curfews or shut clubs & bars like the other Colombian cities?

Actually in Cartagena is also strictness as well as in other countries but I did not hear about curfew yet.

I rented an apartment near the clock tower and made sure they allowed visitors. I only asked about visitors and did not specify hookers. After confirmation I read the house rules, different than website, that they do not allow sex workers or "friends", as they put it. Do you think the warning is generic and does the government really have a law against it? I am wondering if that is the case and try my luck bringing in a woman. I also considered bribing the security people during my stay. What would be an appropriate bribe? Do you think I should do that?

First of all ask the people working the door what is the deal? Do not mention hookers! (it is pretty crazy down there not just because of sex tourism per say but because a little while back there was a huge sting operation where they busted. A lot of underage shit was caught up and a lot of girls like 14 yrs old and even as young as 12 so now its political as hell and everyone looks at that as how bad it is) So just say that you have friends in Cartagena that you want to spend time with in the apartment and you were told that you could. Show them the message where you were told you can have visitors. If it is a building police then for sure I agree with YippieKayay (I agree with him anyway if you have not given them any money, cancel and get clear) if it is past your cancelation deadline and you have already given them money than it might be a greater hassle to cancel and get a refund. For sure explain to them that the whole reason you wanted the apartment was that you have friends in Cartagena that you want to entertain and now your while trip is going to be ruined and you for sure be reviewing them as scam artists for renting to you in false pretense on every website you can find, the website you found them on, TripAdvisor, etc. But start by just asking the people who work the door,.

Please let us know how it works out, and report those assholes on here so no other monger falls for their shit which is a lot like bait and switch, and then also go to the Cartagena Hotels and Rental Apartments thread in this Colombia forum and scroll until you see my recommendation.

Had a relaxing breakfast at a place next to the condo. Charlie's coffee I think. Cheap good. Hit the beach. Not much eye candy.

Had lunch on the beach at a place with gorgeous views. I forgot the name, too much red wine. Fish with shrimp and mussels 2 glasses of wine. About 40 bucks with tips. It was worth it. Food was good and portions were nice.

A chica from last night started sending pics. A pretty dark venezolana. She comes by. Straight porn star. Deep throat, she ran through every position I know and loved it! I didn't too!

After she left I went to centro to see the sunset from the wall. Beautiful!

Probably won't do much more clubs this trip. Its bad enough were drinking with no mask on.

People smoking cigarettes and hookahs is a serious germ. Spreader. Ill just hang at out door bars the rest of the trip. Peace!
