Cartagena Reports

[PerkinWarbeck]

It's not just us Americans and Euros that are getting scammed. It's any foreigner. The private boat trips are all tourist traps. If you want to take a chica to a beach, do what Colombians do. They pay for a day trips (pasadías) to Punta Arenas, Baru, or Islas del Rosario. They include round trip boat rides from Muelle de Bodeguita. Some are high end, but most are very affordable and include lunch. I've done this a few times and the chicas get really impressed.

The best way is an overnight or a few days at an all inclusive resort in Baru. It's much nicer. The beaches don't have any touts or massage ladies, and it's usually only other couples. The atmosphere is way better. It's more expensive (though not really if you pay in COP).

Agreed, the thought has crossed our mind. Hopefully they don't realize it was us- these people seem kind of dumb and are hopefully probably just part time laborers working for a much bigger company who won't even notice the charge back for a couple weeks until it trickles down to the guy with the tablet. We usually go only once a year, , will skip boat day next year, and will use a different boat company, and skip Chalon altogether. Hopefully all those things added together and going after 2 years saves us from future trouble. Thanks for input and advice!

I forgot to ask how what El Poseidon?

Is there still a roach problem?

Elevators still messed up?

I was there in March and was not a good stay as me usual, I was on the 16th floor and only 1 elevator worked, 1 was under renovation and the other was out of service. There was always a line no matter what time we came in. Then the roach problem because there was construction happening all day.

Roaches were coming out the electrical sockets and always in the bathroom. My chicas loved the view of the lake so we mostly just stayed on the balcony and drank and played games most of the night and had good sunsets.

Sure will do- they said give them 30 days.

I would be mind blown if it doesn't. I threw the card in the water like 5 minutes after we left the island out of frustration from getting scammed. If it doesn't work for this, I don't know what it can ever work for hahah. Amex lady on the phone definitely shared her sympathy for me hahah.

P.S.- about 5 years ago, my friend paid with his CC at pley club for a takeout chica. They charged 900,000 pesos for 6 hours, 3 leches was the agreement with the chica's boss (even though the guy actually said number of leches doesn't matter, he was more concerned she'the be back in 6 hours) After the first leche she just straight up refused for round 2, saying the money was too little, although my boy paid the club directly which she worked for. He got pissed, sent her home, charged back after couple weeks and was refunded. He also had an Amex, who are basically the gold standard for consumer protection of fraud.

What did he tell the company? Chica promised him 3 leches but gave him only 1?

[Nypher]

Thank you Nypher, but it's not that; it was a long you tube video from a traveler; you can't recognize anybody; its more about light and shadows, on the typical windows of clock tower.

Its on youtube, a vloger from Holland I think.

I agree with Perkin about everything.

Soy de Europa y hablo espagnol chico.

There have been so much of this stuff going on it seems like every month is a new one.

The only other ones I can recall from this year was the one by the wall and the one in the horse carriage.

One of the girls I met mentioned taking a private boat to the islands and asked me if I am interested. She said she has a friend who has a boat but need to pay for his food and drinks during the time, so cannot provide a exact amount. I immediately realized this is a scam. I told her there are regular boats who transport people to islands to which she said she does not want to do that.

Just watch out for all these scams. I had no interest in going to islands.

If you are loose with the money certainly everyone will scam you. I found Cartagena is high on the list for girl and club bill scams. Unless you have a regular local GF who will watch out for you, watch your wallet.

Beware. They get you on the island and serve you food, fish and drinks, they do not have any prices on the menu or maybe no menu at all. Then they will try to charge you many times more than reasonable, and will not return you from the island until you pay. Typical Cartagena scam. And the Colombian women support the Colombian men in their scam. You will pay big time to get off the island!

I would have brought that mf a pizza and a 2 liter.

Colombians in other countries like Costa Rica and Panama before were extremely GFE and scam free.

Remember my boat report http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2596444 Our bill was itemized so it was easy to see what was what.

Your bill looks to be about $800, from what my chicas told me recently, the price of food on the islands went up a lot but not no $800 bill allot. I don't know how many girls you had but if they ordered food and the boat crew ordered as well (usually a crew of 2 minimum) then you and your boys had dinks (did you and your boys pay attention to those drink prices?) then add the 20% surcharge that 3,500,000 COP would require an itemized breakdown before I pay anything, F that bringing me a single large ass number on a napkin BS! I normally only work with Helmer if he's working the island that day and tip him accordingly.

The "Azul something" you are referring to is probably the Blue Apple. My main chica wanted me to take her there for a few nights but not with those American prices for those rooms.

Just got back couple days ago from a 5 day trip.

Stayed in Posidon building in Laguito as usual- no problems with visitors at all or time restrictions.

Chica pricing relatively same, but does fluctuate depending the girl- there's no set system on pricing. We did our usual pickups from clock tower / LDV / space / delirium- between 500,000-800,000 pesos for 4-5 hours till 4 am, and two leches. Same routine all 5 nights.

All the clubs were shut down Saturday night between like 10 pm and midnight. Something about police / robberies, etc. Came back at midnight to pick up chicas, but maybe only 20-25% chicas came out. Was slim pickings.

One learning lesson from the trip- got basically robbed on the boat day trip. Went to playa blanca first which was cool, they actually had police there who came over to make sure we weren't being harassed. Then went to chalon; got ripped off. Boat drivers and chicas orders drinks and food, they bring the bill out as we were leaving at the cost of 3,500,000 for 8 people- and non of my boys even ordered food. Just one drink each. Smh. Also the boat guys were def in on this, as they went to shore for 5 min as were leaving and hopped back on the boat. However, we will have the last laugh as they accepted my credit card which will now be easily disputed. They will lose out on the full bill Plus the cut they gave to the boat guys jajajajaj.

[AcesOnTheRiver]

How does this happen to folks? Do you just go about all willy nilly not asking how much things cost before agreeing to buy it? Did you tell the boat drivers to get whatever they wanted and you would pay for it? 800 fucking dollars? Man they would have had to call in the SWAT team on me.

Boat guys didn't even ask- they ordered while we were in the water. Smh.

Technically neither did the 4 chicas, they didn't ask (although they ordered in front of us, and we didn't really mind, so can't blame them).

And between the 4 of us guys all vegetarian, so no meals, only got 2 green mangoes and 4-5 drinks.

But yea, boat guys were DEF in on it. Anywyas just know these guys are all scum man. They literally handed us a bill for fking 3. 1 mill. Then when we went to pay with credit card the Ahole himself on his tablet clicked 15% for gratuity- we told them the gratuity was already added in the original bill which clearly said "propina"- then he says he has to charge 15% for credit card fee. Legit scum people man. Normally I wouldn't do this, but because they were scum, literally threw the amex into the water 2 min after leaving the island, easily disputed.

Stayed at an AirBnB on Calle 9. No problem bringing back girls and no extra fee. Security at the entrance just checked ids.

Used Milleroticos for outcalls thru WhatsApp. 150 k to 200 k for 1 hour. Found one that had an incall on Carrera 3 and Calle 9 with 5 girls, all in their 20's. 5 minute walk for me. Most were already MILLFs. 200 k for 1 hour. Some asked for an extra 50 k for the room. Bonus, they were open 24/7.

Also went to Playa Hollywood. 200 k to 400 k for 1 hour. Most girls also asked for taxi fare afterwards. Not sure what happened but I didn't get stuck with waiters asking for a commission for the girls. Maybe I got lucky. Usually between 10 to 20 girls during the day. Most also worked the clubs and clock at night. But seeing them in bikinis during the day helped sort the mom bods from the non mom bods. Also a great way to enjoy the afternoon. Despite the reports, most of the vendors didn't harass as much as prior trips. They still came by but most moved on within a minute. Most of the girls also gave their WhatsApp for repeats.

Clock tower and clubs at night. 150 k to 450 k for 1 hour plus taxi. DV usually had the most and best looking girls. Weekdays were best for having room to walk around and talk. Lots of smaller bars and clubs also had girls 70, Marine, the ones around Delirium. The girls spilled over due to the lack of room at Space and DV. Some diamonds in the rough also at the clock tower and outside the clubs. Lots of police around at night so it seemed safer than my last trip. Police cars and vans parked at the clock tower each night. Usually at least 2 cops on the corner near each club. 30 to 100 girls each night. A lot of the same girls rotating between the clock and various clubs. Met a beautiful 20 yo mixed girl at the beach with natural see's. Then saw her outside again at DV at night in a short, tight pink dress. Took her twice in the same day LOL. Also met a skinny 20 yo from Cali with natural be's outside DV. Easily one of the hottest girls in Cartagena, but she seemed new because she asked for 200 k for 1 hour while similar girls were asking for at least 300 k+.

Because of the exchange rate, it was cheaper than my last visit. Davienda ATM by the clock tower next to the pizza place and donde Fidel was where I went to get cash. No fee and up to 2 M per withdrawal.

A little cloudy, some rain and flooding, but it was a great 2 weeks.

THe hotel I am referring to is called: Eurostars Marqus de Villalta. I am not certain how this post got cropped, but I would appreciate advice.

My company's travel office tells me that the Ermita is located in an area that is too dangerous to walk at night. I guess the route is populated by prostitutes and other unsavory people! Does anyone agree that it is too dangerous to walk from the Ermita to the Clock Tower? (of course, I could always travel by taxi!

They have their phone number on their website. I would try to call and ask, if you do not speak spanish then maybe someone there speaks English. + 57 605 6788523 Ask them straight up "can I bring women back from the bars and have them spend the night with me?"

As for the Ermita being in a dangerous are, I don't think so unless there is more than one or something. It is right in the middle of the tourist zone across from the beach in Bocagrande. I have never heard of anything bad happening to anyone there.

[Nypher]

Guys,

Why'all act really high and mighty, but folks in this thread are no better than the new influx of tourists. We see you with your rent-a-chicas at night in Centro or Bocagrande. You're paying huge prices just like them because you don't speak Spanish. In fact, you all are probably worse because you're there often enough to know better.

Can we please stop recording other tourists? It's a ridiculous invasion of privacy. No one here would like it if someone set up shop outside of Space or LDV and caught you all bringing those slatterns you love out. Let's have some common decency.

Most of the ones who set up shop and record the girls are the same loud mouths that always want attention. It's why I avoid walking by Delirium where they like to stand across the street and record, through the clocktower they like to stand by the hotel and record, or Playa Hollywood by Kiosk#4 where they like to live stream. Many of them already had their YouTube channels deleted so now they are on their second or third channels under the disguise of calling it a travel channel but always mention the "extra footage" they cut out is behind a paywall on Patreon. Certain channels like Kurt Caz, Ace Live, or Life with David focus more on what foreigners can do in the country besides mongering and those are the channels I watch to see what I can do next time I visit.

The video below is a perfect example of what not to do when in Latin America.
