Cartagena Reports

[Nypher]

Honestly. These amounts are pennies. But I get where yiu are coming from. Being viewed as a walking ATM machine is not good. This will be my first and last trip to Cartagena. I just feel like if I'm going to tolerate Columbians downright shitty subpar behavior I might as well do it in a 3rd tier city where its cheap and I hrt some gringo exotic factor. So far my impression of Columbian wo. En is not a good one though. They just all seem kind of cut try and to the point with everything. Its very surprising to me considering this is the salsa capital of the world. A lot of the girls just seem very robotic, selfish and boring individuals in general. The only really good Latinas I have met whether its here, in tge DR in Mexico or in Miami were Venezuelans.

I suggest that you find another monger down there and ask them for suggestions for what you are looking for. Maybe someone you actually see face to face that is right there on the ground can size you up and tell you what you are doing wrong or maybe they will just tell you Colombia is not for you.

Love Juan to death really nice guy: but last two times had to check out of different apartments for cockroaches & I can give up lots of different amenities but refuses to settle on cockroaches in my space!

Just for the record I have stayed at Juan's apartments at least nine times. Probably four different apartments (five counting the one in Mirador del Laguito but I am not sure he still has that one). I personaly only saw one cockroach one time. For the record it was the biggest fucking cockroach I have ever seen. That was a third floor unit. Mostly I try to get as high up as I can to increase the ocean view and ususally request the same apartment but sometimes it is not available. And have never seen any in the high floors. Maybe I have just been lucky. I'm certainly not doubting what anyone is saying, and know that they could not infest the higher floors but I never have seen any there, those buildings are old, and a littel run down and the humid environment in Cartagena is perfect for those giant cockroaches so I do not doubt what any other poster is saying, I am just saying that on my several stays there I have seen one once.

My first time in Cartagena (and only time staying overnight) I got a place from Juan. It was either Boca Grande or Laguito. I am not familiar with the names of the areas, but it was years ago when LDV was like in the middle of the road on that median and you had to walk up a few steps.

For anyone wondering where he is talking about , LDV was in Laguito in the little shopping center where the road splits around it (now called Pierino Gallo) there where you mention walking up the stairs, back during that time all of Juans apartments were walking distance. Laguito is so small it is small enough to be confused as being part of Bocagrande. It is really just two streets and a cluster of a few buildings on Playa Hollywood along along Carrera 1. The shopping center where LDV used to be used to and may still have a Casino in it also, the only other thing in that median area where the road is split is a small police substation then those two roads join at Calle 1b. there are a lot of highrise apartment buildings all along Calle 1b, one side faces the ocean - the other faces the lake, the only other main road that is in Laguito is Diagnal 1 and it runs along the with the lake on one side and the back of buildings that face Calle 1b but that is the street that you have to take to get out of Laguito because the streets are one way.

Another little peice of useless trivia is that back in that time era I remember there was a house near LDV that was owned by some Israelis and enough Isrealis visited Cartagena and stayed in Laguito back then (I think I heard it was mostly Israeli military) I noticed the internet cafe across from the previously mentioned police substation had keyboards set up in Hebrew. I met a couple of girls on the beach that stayed at that house. They were wearing arm bands that they said let them come and go there. They were visting from Bucaramanga to make a little money and I do not know what kind deal they had for staying in the house.

My first Cartagena post from May 2009. Back then I think the exchange rate was like 1600 COP to 1 USD.

I'm so glad you or I never been their ME E, because we have so much to gain by telling people lies about someone I started out saying I love (Juan) but was my experience twice! I'm glad I've never been other wise I could make up much better places and way cheaper prices, without cockroaches and killer locations! Sorry board for making shit up, he is definitely a professional on Cartagena he's been their 5 times oh wait 6 times or was it 7 times, or is it 8 ?

My first Cartagena post from May 2009. Back then I think the exchange rate was like 1600 COP to 1 USD.

I just arrived in Cartagena for the first time. I'm staying in Apt 602 thanks to Bijou for mentioning it. 80K/day. Very basic but it will serve my purpose. I don't at all recommend it though unless you like dust, dirt, roaches, ants, mold, and mildew. He could at least clean the toilet before he rents the place. As a matter of fact the guy didn't even have any towels here. He said that people always bring their own. So I had to go out and spend a few thousand pesos on towels at Exito. I'm jacking someone in the building's Netgear wireless signal right now.

Well anyway, some girl who I met online probably two years ago met me at the airport. (I don't know which site because I have not been on any of them since last year.) She is 27 and was a bacteriologist before she lost her job. She is a solid 8. We took a taxi here to El Laguito for 15K. After I left my things in the apartment she took me to some restaurant to eat. I had fried fish and lemonade and she ate some crab claw appetizers and flan. 74K WTF? Then she took me to those old buildings behind the wall to look around. She had called her cousin at work and told her to meet us there. When her cousin arrived we walked around and talked a bit. Her cousin was black but she is more so white. She told me that if we go to the beach tomorrow she is going to need a new swimsuit. I said you live here in Cartagena, I'm sure you have one already. She said that it was ugly. I said we are going to the damn beach not to a fashion show. She said if I don't buy her one we won't be going to the beach. I agreed. No beach. I was thinking to myself damn, why didn't I just go the hooker route. It would have been much cheaper. We went to a bar on top of the wall called Casa del Mar. I loved the ambiance of this place. The two ladies had lemonade and I had a Club Colombia. 20K. She told me that her cousin lived far and asked if I could pay for her a taxi to go home. This is usually where I draw the line. The last time a girl in Bogota tried to pull that shit I gave them 2000 pesos before I walked back to my hotel. Anyway I'm still hoping that she will loosen up by the second meeting so I agreed.

We walked to Exito so I could buy some towels. She goes to get the most expensive towel she can find. 24K. I said negative. I asked the stock guys where the cheap towels were and they gave me one for 9K plus a wash cloth for 1. 8K. I also grabbed a 1. 5 liter H2O. When I got to the check out counter I asked the cashier where I could get a card for my Movistar cell. She said that she could do it on the register if I gave her the number. So I give her my number and old girl wants to get recharged as well. She said so she could call me. I told her no and that I would just call her instead. In my head I was thinking that if I never talk to this broad again in life it will be okay with me.

Sounds like you have done zero research or reading up on Cartagena before you got their, first thing you would of read was do not talk to this girls in dollars and you seem to keep doing it, the minute you talk dollar's you will get treated such as! And oh I had some questions not answered also starting out with who's "fish".

I talk pesos first. But they try to shift to dollars. Will act like I don't know next time zee if that helps.

I just had a non pro girl I have been on 3 dates with absolutely beautiful girl come over while I made dinner for her. Finally after so many "nos" I got inside her today. Once again. The most boring monotonous robotic sex ever. My theory is Columbian women think too much. Even more than your average other woman. I don't know. But I'm getting a lot of dead fish fucking lately both pro and bon pro. The one pro I got who seems to like me is good. Not impressed overall with Columbians. Asian women fuck much better, are more intimate and are more submissive plus complain about little things a lot less. Columbian women in general are very overhyped and disappointing overall to me so far. Where is this great myth of Columbian women being the best in the world coming from? I'm just not seeing it at all. Venezuelans seem way better.

These posts have to just be some guy who's never been to Colombia. Stories don't make much sense. Never ever had a issue with one of Juans places.

As far as 250,000 for a hour. I don't mind that at all. And it's never just a hour. Really anything less I start to wonder why!

Don't get me wrong. I've been to I think it is as casa maria? Like 100,000 to get the dead done 150 k for the best.

What ever happened to that place?

This will be I think my 8th trip to ctg. Can't wait to see what it's like Halloween weekend!

Are masked required waking the streets??

[Arthur62]

Thanks to all the advices: 1) Guest friendly 1) Close to Dolce, Space and Tower del Reloj 2) Jacuzzi 4) Security.

I guess I have the right one: https://it.airbnb.com/rooms/30538284.

The hosts says: "the visitors must have ID", and I guess this is the norm.

I hope Internet is really good because I have to work and to present at a Zoom based convention. Crossing fingers!

[RacShack]

Well. I got one really hot one who likes me and will stay all night for $100 now no condom does everything I want. We basically just drink and get high all morning then bang like rabbits. Wake up and bang again. I even got her down to $80 for this as well.

The last $140 girl was terrible but looked smoking hot. Her service was terrible though. $140 was for all night. She said no condom for an extra 100 k pesos which isn't much however I declined because I couldn't get it up for her because I was taking lyrica pregabalin before I went out. Which is great but gives you ED.

But also. I think I couldn't get it up because there was no real connection there. Her attitude was just downright awful. Terrible terrible girl actually. Incredibly rude. Not attractive at all besides her looks. She seemed a bit robotic as well. It is very import here in Cartagena to make sure there is some sort of connection with the girl before you take her back. Much more so than in other places I've noticed. The pros here just tend to be kind of miserable acting people in general though just based on my experience. Overall, you get the las Vegas pro attitude and service at a somewhat discounted price. Yawn. It is nothing to write home about that's for sure.

Oh yeah. And be sure to avoid strip clubs here. They will really try to rip you off and poor quality girls overall.

LOL. I was going to piggyback off of Nypher telling the other poster that if he only plans $65 for a place to stay then he better think again. But I am glad you posted this before I had a chance to respond.

My first time in Cartagena (and only time staying overnight) I got a place from Juan. It was either Boca Grande or Laguito. I am not familiar with the names of the areas, but it was years ago when LDV was like in the middle of the road on that median and you had to walk up a few steps.

My apartment was $35 per day, bare bones, and all the roaches that I could handle. I ended up moving out of there after 1 day and into some rinky dink $80 hotel that had plain wooden furniture reminiscent of an elementary school. Then those chicks were asking wayyyy more money than chicks in other parts of Colombia. That is when I was like no thanks Cartagena.

[RacShack]

Am very nice to everyone. Not a pompous asshole.

That was a statement not a question, but you answered a statement and not one of the questions asked?

[HighOnTravel]

Planning 1st trip to Cartagena. Where I'm from 140 for a "really hot pro" is cheap AF. What do you get for the 140? Does it include BBBJ? CIM? Multiple hours?

Well. I got one really hot one who likes me and will stay all night for $100 now no condom does everything I want. We basically just drink and get high all morning then bang like rabbits. Wake up and bang again. I even got her down to $80 for this as well.

I love it, Oh it's 100 $ a hour. I ask pesos. 350. Negotiate to 300 or even 250 easily 🤣. Down to 67 $. Don't negotiate in dollars!

250,000 pesos for 1 hour easily huh? Of course. It is Colombia and should not even be that high! I am sure they love it a lot more than you. 🤣

[HighOnTravel]

Wow you are so cool and enlightened. Why do people like you always get off on attacking OPs? You say you aren't a pompous asshole yet here you are acting like one and self projecting that onto me.

Yeah, over paid because was doped up before went out and in an overly euphoric mood. Also was paranoid about police so trying to do stuff quickly and discreetly. Have plenty of money so it doesn't hurt in that regard however it is something to be wary of and not repeat. Plus knowing someone is ripping you off is never a good feeling. They are no doubt laughing at you under their breath LOL. Especially here in Cartagena.

Never was I rude acting to the hotel. But to the security at my Airbnb. I was visibly upset and for good reason. I have paid several months up in advance at my Airbnb and my host has cleared it with the security here prior to this about me bringing guests. There was never an issue until now.

Colombia has a lot of issues and this silly thing of being so strict with guests is utter insanity.

Mods please let this post go through and don't delete / not post.

As for the women, the pro scene is terrible. There are only a few real stunners every time I go out and that's it. Also the pros here tend to be on average rude, conniving and just overall really bad behavior. I have one really attractive one who is good but if I'm paying I like variety.

I also have 3 normal girls I met on dating apps who are great. 1 of them is just absolutely gorgeous and seems honest to a fault. Am trying to lock her down so I can be done with the awful pro scene for good.

Between the constant drama of bringing girls back to your room by deputy feith type security guards and the lack of large abundance of beautiful girls (pros. The non pros are beautiful) this place just seems like a terrible option for mongering altogether. Also that 2 am curfew is a major pain. Centro is a tiny place with a small selection of bars with the same girls out every night it seems.

And a large percentage of of the pros here are pure black looking. Nothing against black women. Some are beautiful for sure. They just don't do it for me. I would go to Africa or even back home to Atlanta if that was my thing. Pro scene here just seems incredibly limited in general.

To answer the other poster. 140 was for 1 night with no condom. However her attitude was god awful. She even payed a video of her ex boyfriend in front of me at one point telling me how much she loved him at that time.

I told her I didn't pay for you to be on your phone and to not underestimate my kindness because if you disrespect me again like this you will greatly regret it. Was about to go into her pocketbook get my money back and walkout. You couldn't pay me to be with that specific chica again no joke. Single worst girl I have ever taken back grom any country. I chose her because she was the only good looking girl left in space by the time I got there. So many hags and then you got slightly passable looking ones but dance like shit when you come to them and just seem like they wouldn't be worth taking back.

Went to delerium before that and it was a literal cesspool. Ugly subpar women everywhere. Guys with hookahs and bottles pretending like they are ballas LOL.

But at least in there people are dancing and having a good time for the most part though. Dulca vita is full of a bunch of soulless looking robots just standing there looking looking like sharks.

A tout on Bocagrande beach hooked me up with a legit stunner the other day. Been chatting with her on what's app and her minimum is 600,000 Columbia pesos for a full day.

Is this an acceptable price here? Someone knowledgeable break down the prices here please so can avoid rip offs. I just feel like the market is so limited here and the real stunners can get away with charging too much.

I don't get it. What am I missing? Overall the pros here are very substandard overall in both looks and attitude. I'd take Hong Kong any day over here much less Bangkok or anywhere else in Thailand or the Philippines. Not ragging on Cartegena the city as I like it overall. Just the pro scene.

1: who the fuck is fish.

2: why fish overpay for coke and weed if fish know price not right?

3: sounds like fish being nice to security and by not letting guest in to get back at fish, being nice instead of a pompous ass goes long way 4: sounds like fish is being overcharged on girls also! See #3.

5: your sure fish not do to much overpriced coke why he not get it up?

6: also seems to not be nice to hotel staff to be kicked out at 8!

7: I've been their 7-8 times and never in all trips had so many problems, but then again I'm a gentleman to everyone! Go fish!

[Rzrfl69]

Juan's apartments are the best. Fair prices and he can tell you the rules for each one. No issues.

I will be there in two weeks. Already talking to a few girls from tinder and my usuals. Prices seem to be the same as always. Negotiate in pesos. Not dollars.

I love it, Oh it's 100 $ a hour. I ask pesos. 350. Negotiate to 300 or even 250 easily 🤣. Down to 67 $. Don't negotiate in dollars!
