I checked out La Escalera twice in December and it was pretty dead, pro-chica wise (1 or 2 very poor looking chicas). If it weren't for the chivas putting this bar on their nightly schedules, the place would have had to close months ago.

Oh, and street action Calle 5 is dead now also. They arrested all the pros, pimps, and drug dealers a couple of months ago and are now making an effort to keep the streets quiet. Not sure where they moved...

Go check out La Dolce Vita in Laguito or La Garita in the old city. But make sure you wait until AFTER 11:30. The casas you visited are hit or miss at best.

Also check out the Casa de Munecas and the International Club (although I doubt you will find anything you like at the International Club) Both are in the same general area as the Manila House.

My opinion: the Manila House is the best house in Cartagena. Also curious to know if there is any action anymore in Escollera in Bocagrande? Is it still open?

Well here is how my first day in Columbia.

K11, Dave and myself arrived in Cardegena yesterday at 1:30. We were the only tourists on the plane. We went through customs which was pretty interesting. They searched everything we had, it took almost 40 miniutes. We decided to stay at the Almirante Hotel, which is very nice. We got a travel agent rate of $60.00 per night for a double room with a king size bed.

After unpacking we decided to hit the streets. The local area of BocaGrande is a long strip with hotels on the beach. The area is full of "touts" that bug the hell out of you every 30 seconds. I was very unimpressed with the girls walking the streets. The Columbian girls in Panama are 10x as beautiful. Around 5:00 we decided that we wanted to find here the chica´s were. We hired a local to take us around for the night. (cost $20.00).

The first place he took us was terrible. I believe the name was Aeropostale. The girls were gross. There wasn´t a 5 in the place. About this time I was really getting pissed that I made the trip. We decide to go eat and return to some other places later hoping that the selection would be much better.

After dinner the second place we went was the Pleyboy club (yes the spelling is correct). We arrived at about 9:00. There were about 6 or 7 girls there, with the quality being much better. I would say that out of all the girls there were 4 or 5 that were 6-7 range. Still very unimpressed we headed to our third place. At this point I was ready to head to the airport to change my ticket back. By the way the cost quoted at Aeropostale was $50.00, on site for 1 hour ( I wouldn´t have paid $5.00 for a whole month). The quote at Pleyboy club was $130.00 for the whole night at your hotel.

The third stop was Manilla (sp?) house. The place was kind of interesting. There was a room up front, then another samll room, a bar and a patio with tables and chairs in the back. There were aprox. 10-12 girls there in every different color, size, and shape. We decided to sit for awile and have a couple of drinks. The girls are very shy in Cardegena and can come off as very cold. Not one girl came up to us at any of the stops. All of the initial contact has to be made by you. K11 started doing his magic tricks which actually broke the ice and warmed the girls up a little.

I was still not impressed. There were a couple of "cute" one´s there but nothing you would travel all this way for. Then Viviana walked in. She was AWESOME. She is a beautiful 20 year old form Baraquilla. This was what I was looking for. I smiled at her and she asked me to come sit by her. After talking with her for awhile, we started to hit it off. It wouldnt have mattered how beautiful she was if she was a "cold one".

The next thing that happen was probably the highlight of the evening. While Lonnie was doing his magic trips he lost his "magic" pen cap. He started to freak out. He offered a $50,000 peso reward for whoever found it. It was histerical, there were 10 girls, our guide, 2 guys who worked there and K11 looking for this thing. It is amazing what people in these countries will do for a little money. They looked for a good hour before our guide found it. When he found it you would have thought that he won the lottery.

After this "circus" we decide to leave. Dave took a girl with him and I took Viviana with me. Total cost was negotiated at $20.00 for the Salida and $50.00 for her. This was for all night and all morning. We decided that we wanted to have some fun before heading back to the hotel. We went to Mister Babilla´s. This place is a blast. There were alot of people there for a Wednesday night.The crowd was mostly tourist´s and a few "working " girls. I would highly reccomend taking a girl here if you are looking for the GFE.

The girls had an absolutly great time. We ended up closing the place and heading back to the hotel. Viviana was great. She was a blast last night and was ready again this morning. So after a slow start the night turned out to be great. I was tempted to have Viviana stay with me today since I didn´t see very much last night, but I didn´t want to lock myself in in case things got better. I told her to call me later and that I would have her come back tonight or tommorrow. We are headed to the old city today to check things out there. I will email you later and let you know what we found.

> I will travel to cartagena in february 2003 AND TO CALI!!!(YES). This is most likely between 11-feb. and 1 March.

If you are going to Cartagena around that time set the days to cover the first week in March. That's when the Cartagena Film Festival takes place and there are lots of parties, with non pro chicas that are open minded and of course, for the back up later in the evening, the standard pro action.

Also it's a bit more lively during the festival, as more people are in town.

i have finally worked up the courage to travel to colombia. i need help. i figure the place to go for a first timer in the region is carta.
i am an experienced sex traveler (over 29 countries), i speak fair spanish, as it is my fourth language. can anyone suggest girl friendly hotel on the beach, in close proximity to the action. not looking for a real budget place, or a five star, something in between. also where are some safe places to go for some reasonable hot action. thanks in advance for your help. also cali info would help.

I'm kind of an sexpert on Cartagena, since I've been there about ten times.
In Colombia I would say that NOW Cartagena is the only city that is reasonably safe. It was quite safe a few years ago but with the civil war really heating up now there are about 2 million internal refugees that have moved from the countryside to the relative safety of the city and these people will do what they can to survive.

To start off Cartagena is devastingly beautiful, a completely intact sixteenth century colonial city with a wall around the city- built to keep out the English and French pirates - that the locals stroll up and down at sunrise. It's one of those places that you just have to see one time in your life. There's really nothing like it. Think of the great colonial Spanish cities, Puerto Rico, Havana and multiply it by five. It's a stunner. See the movie "The Mission" shot in Cartagena and set in the sixteenth Century and you get the idea of what it looks like today. And the people are really cool.

If you are on a no budget budget you can stay on one of the el cheapo backpacker hotels in the old city on calle media luna between $6 and $15. A nice cheap fish meal is about $4, beers are around $1.

On a normal tourist level I recommend the hotels in Bocagrande, such as the three star Bahia (my favorite and chica friendly) for around $34....and the five star Caribe, around $60 (but not chica friendly - you have to pay for a double to take take a girl up.)

There are plenty of SW in the old city and the main drag of bocagrande for about $25 or less but some are TV's and the quality isn't great.

Club Escorilla after midnight is where you will meet some great chicas, some from Cali and Medillin, where the most beautiful girls come from, that are around 7 and 8's for $50 or less for todo el noche, sometimes with GFE (YMWF).


Be careful about walkling around the area at night , as there are muggers. I recommend taking a taxi to the hotel with the girl, even if it is just a few blocks away.

In the old cities are several places also, although I can't remember the names as they change often but everyone knows them. One was La Dolche Vita but I'm not sure it it is closed or not.

There are lots of brothels near the port that cater to tourists from the Cruise lines during the day and sailors at night. The most famous is Manila house, run by a really nice Italian guy. Some really nice girls there, for about $40 in or $70 to take out and the place is safe. The taxi drives know about this place and several others.

As for the rest of Colombia....Cali has the prettiest girls by far, and Medilin is a close second don 't go there now. You really have no idea what can happen.

I read a post from Nibu about the emerald district and the brothels there but those areas are like an old West mining town and about as dangerous for foreigners as probably anywhere on the planet.

As for me it seems that all the action now is in Buenos Aires and that's where I monger next.
