Cartagena Reports

Where is the best place in Cartagena to exchange USD for COP?

Thanks in advance, landing in 4 hours.

Exchange rate changes all the time. The Cambio will always try to make a profit so you will not get what the market rate is. Your best bet is to exchange the money with your local bank before flying if they only charge you a flat fee for any amount exchanged. Your other option is using a Scotia Bank ATM to withdraw pesos but be warned your local bank will charge you about 3 different fees per transaction and if you use a credit card cash advance it will be an additional fee on top of those 3 fees.

Happy mongering.

I love to self-cite myself! After reading this, I cannot refrain to repeat again something I posted in the far 2012 in the Bogota thread:

Beware of cosquilleros!

As I concluded there:
Beware of cosquilleros!
(and, it does not matter if a TV is touching your cock or putting a finger in your ass, never extract your hands from your pockets)

I agree with your sentiment, but disagree with your method. It is important to keep their hands out of your pockets. However, I keep my hands out of my pockets. The only things in my pockets are my phone, in the front left pocket, my money, in my front right pocket, my apartment key in my back right pocket and sometimes my small money (5, 10, 20 k bills) in the back left.

There is no wallet, no cards, unless I'm going to the ATM, and only my US Passport Card for identification. I usually also carry a small backpack. It contains a bottle of water, a couple of condoms, a package of 2 Viagra and some wet wipes. These days it also contains extra face masks and a small bottle of hand sanitizer.

The reason I keep my hands out of my pockets is to keep anyone else from getting their hands on me. Most of the girls I've seen on the streets just sit and wait. They don't try to reach for you, or try to touch you. A few girls, and many trannies will reach out and try to touch you. When someone tries to touch me, I use my hands to keep their hands off of me. If necessary I will grab their risks and tell them "no." Then I keep moving away from them. If I pass by them again, usually just a look will keep them from approaching me.

You have many cambio close to the torre del reloj, many with good rates.

For example, there are cultures such as Indian where a woman going with someone who is not approved of by the family, might fall victim to honour killings.

That's not in India, but is in Pakistan.

El Paraiso del Marino has been a well known club for many years. You can find it listed also on the Cartagena List. For those who do not like hunting free, it's ideal. However, it's not the only club.

Thanks. I see it now. I had looked to see if it was on there, but not very thoroughly. I was scanning and saw the word Casa first instead of strip club, so I skipped over it but then later in the description it says 'strip club' .

Casa Paraiso Marino, Calle 10 (Diagonal 28) #56 B 51. This strip club is about 25 minutes by car. 5-10 Chicas. Prices: 60 k Room Fee, 200 k 30 min. , _k 60 min. , exit fee 130 k, Chica 200 k. Tel: 57 5 657-1922. Hours: 24. www.paraisodelmarino.com.

Damn! Heads up the first 47 seconds aree nothing and the video quality sucks but you can definitely tell when she starts trying to hand the money off.

Drunk or not, no one is ever going to touch my pockets, my body language speaks "if you touch my pockets, expect to be laid out and stomped out like I'm putting out a small fire". All that touchy touchy feel stuff at that location is not necessary.

Can either one of you verify that the place in these photos below (I clipped from Google Sreet Maps) is the same place that you are discussing?

Today I have read this news about a tourist that was robbed at the Clock tower. (There is a video).

https://www.eluniversal.com.co/suces...lces-HM5428999

That looks like it happened directly in front of Hotel Torre Del Reloj where the vendors usually are and it looks like it was getting close to curfew as the stands were empty of merchandise and the chairs were placed upside-down.

When I saw the title "robbed at clocktower" I'm expecting someone getting beat up and robbed, a gun pulled and robbed, or at least a knife or some kind of scuffle and being robbed but he got caught slipping and the guys were opportunistic to pick up the cash and walk away, zero violence required, no dark alley, no deserted area, etc.

This could of happened anywhere because of his lack of street smarts. Strippers use that same tactic up here in the states in clubs where dancers will go into your pocket and hand the money of to another girl.

Drunk or not, no one is ever going to touch my pockets, my body language speaks "if you touch my pockets, expect to be laid out and stomped out like I'm putting out a small fire". All that touchy touchy feel stuff at that location is not necessary.

I fell out my chair laughing at the end when he was left there by himself double checking his his pockets jajaja.

Thanks for that informative post. Dude seems to be drunk. His reflexes and reactions were really lethargic. They got him with the old dick grab pick pocket. Exactly why you do not let anyone up on you. He was doing the right thing by keeping his right hand in his pocket. I could not tell about his left hand. Looks like she got his money out of his left back pocket with her right hand while grabbing his dick with her left hand. I would have choked the shit out of that broad. But of course drunk did not look like he really knew what was going on.

You have to wonder if the three guys that walk up are not onto / in on what's happening. Watch how quickly everyone around goes straight for that money when it hits the ground.

Day 3:

Huge shout out to the fellow who told informed about the strip club:

Marina Del Paraiso. (Will find thread and thank you personally later via msg. Owe ya a beer or something- will venmo. You're a true champion).

Holy shit!

Well first off- it's not 10 - it's 20-25 minutes from Watch Tower and it's not for the faint of heart. Have to taxi / Uber through the outskirts of town and you will be the only gringo in Colombian country. That being said. It was safe enough.

Ok this club. Girls 300,000 flat. That's the fee. No more no less 1 HR.
!

Marina Paradiso, about 10 minutes from clock tower, but worth it if your looking for a good strip club with everything you need on site. Rooms, 20-30 girls, party supplies, reasonable prices.

Can either one of you verify that the place in these photos below (I clipped from Google Sreet Maps) is the same place that you are discussing? I had a Cartagena local send me a PM about this place back when the cops were shutting down Plaza De LOS Coches super early. I had asked him to reccomend alternatives. I like the fact that the sign says 24 hrs.
