Posts: 647My last week in Cartegena
This report is not about to find women, prices paid or anything about the P4 P, so feel free to skip if that's what your looking for, this report is annoyances that happened outside of the P4 P scene.
Normally there are some bad experiences, but the good times outweigh it so much that I can overlook the negative experiences but this trip, things tilted in the other direction and I want to believe it was because of the timing, end of summer + Labor Day weekend.
Once I returned to Cartagena to finish the last week just about every day something negative happened that outweighs the positive.
Private boat I normally rent from 8 am to 4 pm for $400 is now $500 minimum and its not even high season.
Sunset Cruise.
My chica said she wanted to go on a Sunset Cruise on a Catamaran and I saw it leaving the dock that evening. I call up a tour guide and tell them exactly what I wanted. They booked it, I sent them the money, and sent me the place to meet for the following day. Following day my girl and I show up at the dock at 4:30 getting ready to board the boat, they tell us were not on the list. We call the tour guide and they give us the information of the person whose there with the list for the boat. We call them and they tell us to go down the pier more and we get to this little ass speed boat, which is the lowest tier for the sunset cruise. We get on, and there is this older couple there who look like thy don't belong there just like my chica and I because were too overly dressed for a speed boat. We get to talking and the same thing happened to them. They wanted the Bona Vida Catamaran sunset cruise and ended up on a speed boat.
Pao Pao.
Tried to go to Bora Bora but they said it was full but Pao Pao was the sister island with a similar experience. So much BS!
So we booked it for my chica and I. We get to the dock and its 28 K COP dock tax per person. We sign up and sit down. Then about 30 minutes later all we hear is Pao Pao this way and everyone rush up to the boat leaving us in confusion. No we at the back of the line to board the boat and a lady comes up to us offering beds and lounge chairs so I pay another 80 K COP thinking these chairs are in a separate area. We last to board and it was a lancha type boat and they boarded from the front so last to board ended sitting at the very front of the boat in the sun and feeling every single wave on the choppy water.
We get to the island and first to get off the boat. They searching bags, so I'm thinking, (I'm from the hood, I'm use to this shit), I give them the bag and they toss up the entire bag, I had a bottle of Titos in a bag they take it and say no outside liquor allowed, then point to the sign saying it SMH. I've done day trips to Cocoliso, Isla Del la Sol, and Luxury VIP and they never done no shit like this. Fuck it, whatever, lets go enjoy the best of it, they point us to the reserved chairs and its all the way is the front by the water in the hot ass sun and the umbrella covering the bed is this fishnet looking cover and the sun is beaming all through it like its not even there. We ask them to move us since there were 3 extra seats in the shade and they said they couldn't because the beds are reserved. The whole day no one ever sat in those empty chairs in the shade. Drinks were overpriced and cost extra. Included free lunch, I had the fish my chica had the chicken. Fish was dried out chicken was decent, I order empanadas and just ate the beef and chicken and tossed the cheese. We spend most of the time just taking pictures and when we went to the bathroom there was 4 extra chairs in the back of the island completely shaded empty. At this point I'm just over it and want to relax. We go in the water and about 2:30 a guy comes yelling everyone out the water the boat leaves in 30 minutes. WTF! So the boat left the dock around 8 am, it takes about an hour to get to the island and we are leaving at 3 pm? I remember other islands were 4 pm cut off and we get back to the dock at 5 pm. Fuck it, I'm done, I have to make sure were the first ones on the boat to get good seats out of the sun and to avoid the front from the choppy water. I go to the bar to pay the tab, they tell me I have to get it from the waiter, I'm running around trying to find the waiter hes no where to be found. Finally found him 20 minutes later to pay the tab so he can give me the pass to leave the island (if you don't know, they won't let you leave the island unless you give them a pass to prove you paid your bill). Found him, paid, got the pass and now were in the middle of the line somewhere to get on the boat. Luckily we got good seats out of the sun. The boat starts moving and the ship mate starts randomly have people switch seats (I know what hes doing but he can fuck off cause I'm already pissed). He gets to my row and when we boarded I specifically sat on the right side of the boat because I knew the sun was going to be on the left and my chica took the isle seat so she can get the best coverage from the sun. He wants us to swap seats with a couple on the left side. I just shake my head no and point to the sun then point to the seat and he moves on. We get back to the dock, get off the boat to take Uber and another private boat came in right before us filled with loud mouth sisters and its clear they were from down south by that accent and they just throwing shots at me and my chica and just mean mugging me and giving my chica stank faces. We a good 10 feet from them over by the vendor buying mango slices while they bunched up by Door 3 and its just comment after comment after comment while we waiting for the Uber. My chica ask me why they looking at her like that but I'm already frustrated and don't feel like being confrontational so I went passive aggressive and start joking with my chica and laughing, asking her where she wants to go for dinner then we crossed the street to the other side by the walls to wait for the uber and on our way away from Centro. They still there being loud as fuck like they purposely wanted me to hear what they saying to get a reaction out of me but ignoring them just makes everyone around them see why most men back home aren't getting involved with them.
Bora Bora.
Since we couldn't get Bora Bora initially I booked it online for another day. Myself, my chica and her 2 friends. $285.
We get to the dock and as usual I have to pay the dock fee, in cash. It was 28 K COP per person. So I'm immediately out about 100 K COP. We sign in and they start offering extras. Extra for VIP and Extra for beds. Before I knew it I was out another 500 K COP. This time I know better, and we sat at the check in desk and as soon as we heard Bora bora we went right to the front of the line got good seats in the middle of the boat on the sunny side while most people sat in the shaded side. They didn't realize once the boat reversed from the dock and turned around, the shaded side will now be the sunny side and vice versa jajaja. We were good and shaded for the hour trip. Boat mate came again trying to balance the boat by moving people around, I refused again. We get to the island, they searching bags for liquor. We get to the VIP area first and the beds I brought were balcony beds but under a tree this time and unfortunately my chica said it stunk like bat shit (I don't know what bat shit smells like but there was a strong ammonia smell). We ask to move beds and they refused saying the beds are reserved (I'm thinking everyone is already here and no one is in the beds) I was told only 35 people were allowed in VIP area but as time went on more boats came, in total about 3 speed boats and 1 lancha type boat came to drop off people on bora bora along with private boats. The VIP area was packed and the normal area only had a few people. My chica and her friends were running around taking pictures everywhere while I just relaxed drinking and watching people go in and out the water. I decided to go in and there is a shit ton of dead coral as soon as you enter the water so careful where you step. I get out and back to the bed and all of a sudden I hear "can I get a waterrrrrrrrrrr" mad loud. Without even looking I already knew what to expect. My chica returned with her friends and saw me drinking this yellow, blue and green drink, they tasted it and liked it so I ordered 2 rounds. Then I start to hear the comments coming from a group of sisters sitting 2 rows behind. I can't play my music on my speaker (Not allowed on the island) so I can't drown them out. My chica and her friends notice the nasty looks, start asking me why they looking at them, I tell them "this is the end results of certain women telling men for years I can do bad all by myself, and now they are doing bad all by themself" She doesn't get it and I don't have the time to explain. So ignore them, have fun, that's how you win. This guy was walking around with lobsters and crabs my chica and one of her friends wanted one but I knew once the cook it and it shrinks its going to be little to nothing so I got them one each, paying 200 COP a piece, cash only, Again, dinks cost extra, and food was basic so I stuffed myself with 4 orders of Chicken empanadas, the cheese sucked, and so did the beef. Back into the water with the girls to cool off and at 2:30 like clockwork the guy comes and tell everyone to get out the water. Another sister I didn't see at all so she must have been over by the DJ booth was in the water next to me pissed of how they got to the island, only had an hour, then ate lunch, then they just got in the water and its too early to go. We get to talking, I find out its her first time in Colombia on a girls trip for Labor Day weekend. She's cool so I tell her get dressed quickly, pay your tab, and sit in the middle to the back and avoid the front of the boat and enjoy the ride back. She starts laughing and comments how I must come here all the time to which I responded "my first time on this island" then while laughing I said "lots of mistakes, that always cost money to fix, but I learn as I go". I then tell her these islands are just to take pictures to show you been there, I then pointed to a woman who changed her swimsuit about 4 times and was taking lots of pictures to fool people online that she's been here 4 different times, she starts laughing and says "you wrong for that, but you right, I didn't even notice it's a different swimsuit". We had a good laugh about it. I paid up and headed to the dock, there were 4 boats at the dock for everyone to leave the island at the same time. And the line was crazy long. It doesn't matter what boat anyone gets on as they are all going back. I timed it so we get on a boat to be on the right side, some lady comes and pissed off she's last to get on and don't want to sit in the sun so she refused to board the boat and had to wait for the next one. Boat starts going, choppy water too bad for those in the front. We get back to the dock, and again the loud mouths so I took the girls immediately across the street to wait for the uber.
Playa Blanca.
Went here with my chica. Oh yea, they tried to get me. They put extra drinks on my tab and expected me to pay for it. I know I had 3, my girl had 3. And we had 1 meal each but they came with 10 drinks on the bill. First they tried to over charge for the cabana and my chica must have told them to go fuck themselves because we had our own cooler with drinks, all we needed was the cabana and food. So they dropped the price. When the bill came they added a 10% service fee and wanted to add a 20% surcharge for me using a card. My chica went off when they called her a "gringo mouthpiece", I'm guessing that some type of disrespectful term cause she was not having any of it. They removed the extra drinks, I paid in cash and told my chica to tell them "you aint getting no service fee cause you tried to scam me" we hopped on the boat and we was out.
Centro.
So we wanted to check out Townhouse in the day time as they have the rooftop pools. We take the Uber to Clock tower and walk through as its faster. We don't expect much people but it was packed, Cruise ship came in. The damn little kids who use to be outside Delirium in the night time begging for money and food are now there in the daytime. For 3 blocks they kept bothering us for money until we turned a corner and saw some cops and they scattered.
Centro.
My girl had a craving for tacos. So it was about 9 pm and we went to LOS Tacos Gordo. (They were good but small).
So we had 4 orders and couldn't finish the last order. Were heading back to the apartment to drink so I just said lets get 2 more orders to go and we just chill on the balcony and drink and eat. We get the food and leave. I request the uber but they keep canceling so I have to set it outside the clock tower. We start walking and I didn't want to walk by Delirium so we crossed over to Space / Dolce side and kept walking on the opposite side of the street because the other side was lots of people. We passing by Monkey Bar and right before we hit Alquimico I hear, "yo I know you", "food for me", "me hungry" I'm ignoring it while we keep walking until one of them comes in from of me and points to the bag saying the same shit so I say "es por tarde" I'm still walking cause I'm not stopping for nobody and my chica in 2 steps Infront. Then I hear the same guy say in english "you fucking and-word". So I look at him and say "tal vez, pero tengo mucho plata, tu, tu tienes nada. Que mas? Quieres algo? Tu trabajar para eso". My girl overheard what I said with my limited spanish but she didn't catch what I was responding to since she doesn't speak much english. She grab my hand and start pulling me saying "mucho problemas" so I turn and see 4 cops across the street and she pulls me towards them and we keep walking. These cops looks like they fresh out of high school, mostly women and crazy young, I wouldn't expect them to handle shit if shit goes down and think they are just there to display presence. I let it be, got the Uber and was back to the apartment. I tried to explain to my chica what happened, and she said there is allot of things happening in Centro lately and I need to be careful Centro have gotten worse.
Next rip, I think ill only be stopping in Cartegena to pick up my chica and were going elsewhere.

My main chica is Costenos. She lives about an hour away outside Cartegena where girls are 50 K pesos and hour (Venezuelan). Shame in Colombia is similar to how it is in my country where no one wants to bring shame to the family as the whole neighborhood would talk bad about them. Most of the chicas I know who work in Centro clock tower or the 3 main Discos come from Barranquilla, Santa Martha and Medellin.

Posts: 168I would definitely recommend Barranquilla if you guys are just looking for women. Not much to do during the day, but the prices are far lower, and the quality is about the same. Not as tourist friendly and a bit more dangerous, but nothing crazy.

I need to remind you all again. The vast majority of women who engage in the trade are not from Cartagena. They would be shamed and ostracized from their family if it was known that they were in this line of work. Colombians, and especially costeņos, are culturally conservative, and they have huge families. All of which will tattle on them if something goes wrong.
The girls you see at Torre De Reloj are from Venezuela, Medellin, Cali, or maybe Barranquilla. They come because they can charge higher prices. The problem is that living in Cartagena is very expensive, so they don't tend to stay there. It just costs to much and they need to get a lot more big ticket clients to make it worth it. It's why girls will only do a few weeks at a budget hotel and then go to Barranquilla.

The pandemic brought along the YouTubers, and the YouTubers brought along more of the crowd who wanted to "represent". So more people who just want to chill are getting away from certain areas that were too heavily advertised to attract that crowd.
On my current trip I did mostly Barranquilla and Santa Marta before returning to Cartagena. Next time I'm going further out.

Elvis is correct to look at the smaller cities in Latin America and Europe, this is where you can find some hot chicks, but that takes time and money. The easy days are over, but there is still plenty of hot chicks and some diamonds in the rough.
