My 5-night romp in Bogota!
Welcome to Bogota!
Welcome to the land of putas, arepas, and thin air! The nicer parts of the city, like La Candelaria and Zona Rosa were quite clean. But, I found some other areas were a bit trashy and riddled with graffiti. Having said that, I felt safe wherever I went. Because of the altitude, it was pleasant during the day, but it got chilly in the evenings. Because I am old and already walk slow, I did not have any issues with the altitude.
According to Wikipedia, "The city is located in the center of Colombia, on a high plateau known as the Bogota savanna, part of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense located in the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes. Bogota is the third-highest capital in South America after Quito and La Paz at an average of 2,640 meters (8,660 ft) above sea level. Subdivided into 20 localities, Bogota has an area of 1,587 square kilometers (613 square miles) and a cool climate that is constant through the year. "
Why Bogota?
I have been to 5 other cities in Colombia, but for whatsoever reason, I have not spent any time in Bogota. Thus, off I went!
Logistics & Other Stuff:
References:
I used three references: ISG, World Travel 69's maps, and Google search.
ISG:
Woodman09 – I had the pleasure of meeting up with him. He knows Santa Fe quite well. He gave me a thorough tour of the Zona de Tolerancia. Also, I was completely impressed with his knowledge of the rest of the city! I highly recommend taking one of his tours, especially if you have very little knowledge of the Zona de Tolerancia.
Mr Enternational – Whenever I want information on the down and dirty spots in a city, my brother always steers me in the right direction!
World Travel 69 – I have known World Travel 69 since 2012. He is dedicated to creating maps for fellow mongers. He updates his maps from our reports. PM him if you have any questions.
Travel Insurance:
The SquareMouth web-site gave me over 50 quotes from over 50 different companies. I chose Trawick from National Mutual. It was for 5-days and cost $127.
Money:
All the money I quote is in COP, Colombian pesos. According to Oanda, the current rate is 4,013 COP to one US dollar. I just divided the currency by 4 and it worked out for me. For example, 100,000 COP was around 25 bucks. I arrived very late in Bogota and I decided to cash in some dollars at the airport at the exchange place next to baggage claim three; rate was 3900. I used ATMs thereafter as needed. Tip from Woodman: You can pull 2,000,000 from the ATMs at Davivienda banks; around 500 US.
Flight:
I flew Aeromexico from Tijuana round-trip to Bogota. Each way, there was a layover in Mexico City. Total flight time was around 7 hours each way. Returning, there was a Sala VIP El Dorado Lounge, which was outstanding.
Immigration / Customs:
Because of my last trip to Colombia, I knew there was a Migration Form I needed to fill out called CheckMig. This is the website: migracioncolombia. Gov. Co. There you need to fill out the immigration registration form 72 hours before your trip OR up to one hour before.
It took me around 10 minutes to fill out the form and submit it. Once I did, within a few minutes, I received the document in my e-mail box. I had the completed form on my phone and I also printed the form out.
When I was going through immigration in Bogota, I was asked to show the completed form to the agent. I gave him the printed form and it was never returned to me. He stamped my passport and I was done.
Customs only existed to ask me if I had any bad thingys in my carry-on. No x-ray machine was required; quick process!
When I was returning, I completed the form online. But, the only immigration process there was when I had to place my passport on some machine and the little doors opened to let me move on to security. The CheckMig form was not asked for and nobody stamped my passport.
Hotel:
I stayed at the Tequendama Suites in Centro internacional.
PROS:
- Walking distance to the Zona de Tolerancia.
- Safe location.
- Solid WiFi.
- Large rooms.
- Great staff and service.
- Free breakfast buffet from 6 to 10.
- Chica friendly – They needed to register at the front desk. I brought in a bargirl, street girl, and an escort.
CONS:
- Rooms had NO heating.
- No free bottled water.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay!
Communication:
I have the T-Mobile Go5 GPlus55 plan; no worries whatsoever.
Transportation:
When I arrived at the airport, I did not see a taxi booth, so I just headed outside. All the taxis quoted the same price; 60. Because it was late, the streets were empty. It should have taken 15-20 minutes to reach my hotel. But, my airport taxi could not find the hotel! Hell, I am sure he could not find water if his dumb ass fell out of a fucking boat! I really need to learn this phrase in Spanish, "You only have one job!
Other forms of transportation:
Uber – Reliable during the day and early evening; iffy late night.
DiDi – Decent luck in the afternoon and evening.
InDrive – Was never able to get the app up and running.
Taxis – The majority of the drivers were clueless. Most of the drivers were older and had no concept regarding google maps.
Returning to the airport, my hotel called one of their van drivers and the cost was 40.
Spanish:
During my stay, I did not hear any English, which included my hotel, restaurants, drivers, and putas.
Restaurants:
I did a lot of research before I left and here are my thoughts on the food scene:
Santa Fe. Outstanding.
Cantina 15 – Outstanding.
La Scala – Excellent.
Andres DC – Very good.
El Son de LOS Grillos. Outstanding.
Overall, the food was pretty damn good. There was an abundant amount of street food venders scattered throughout the city.
Strip / table dance clubs:
In each club, I asked several questions and wrote down the answers as usual. Thus, if I am wrong; correct me please. I wrote down the lowest ficha price.
None of the clubs I visited had a cover charge!
The first 7 clubs were all in the Zona de Tolerancia. Many of the chicas would start out asking for 150 for 30 minutes, but if they thought I was interested, they would drop the price to 110 or 120.

Comments: I thought this club was closed, but apparently not. All the chicas seemed independent and every one of them had different prices. This was the last club of my romp and I enjoyed the place.
Spas:
I only went to one spa; Tantra. I went there around 5 on Friday and I saw 6 chicas, good to very good. I wasn't sure if I was even in the right place! The sign above the place said, "Tantras. " I decided to choose a dark skinned chica and she wanted 120 for an hour.
When we decided to go to the room, we left the building, turned right, and went into a different building. We went upstairs and at the top of the stairs was a different spa with a "nurse" theme. Maybe that place was Tantra? Before us, there were 4 other couples waiting for a room. As we waited at the top of the stairs, we waited for 15 minutes, and there were still 4 couples waiting for a room. All the 4 girls were wearing a nurse outfit.
I said, "Fuck this!" and we returned to the first building. I found the manager and asked, "WTF?" She told me her building did not have rooms and for that reason, we had to go to the other building. But, the chicas (nurses) at the other building had priority over their club for the rooms. I did receive a full refund, so the only thing I lost was my time and patience.
So, the big question is: Was I in the right place? Please chime in because I am still confused!
Zona de Tolerancia and Street Girls:
Woodman took me there around 4 on a Wednesday afternoon. After walking around for 15 minutes, I came to the conclusion the Zona de Tolerancia was the biggest monger candy store I have ever seen! There were 100+ street girls available and their prices varied.
Woodman sent me a map of the active streets, which I will share with the board. From what I gathered, the area was from Calle 24 to Calle 19 and between Avenida Caracas and Carrera 17.
Besides the street girls, the area had numerous clubs. Basically, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. It was the shopping mall of putas; I loved the area. I was there every night during my romp.
Escorts:
As I was skimming through the ads on Mileroticos, the prices ranged from 100 to 400 for an hour. They all wanted more money for "oral al natural. " I had only one escort during my romp and the cost was 300 and included, "oral al natural."
Final thoughts on Bogota:
It was a seeking putas and eating good food trip. I thought the city was quite safe and I never felt threaten in any manner. If I lived there, I would learn other forms of transportation. The city was huge! Would I ever return to Bogota? YES, I felt like I only scratched the surface of the monger scene and restaurants. Overall, I had a great time! Would I recommend it to other mongers? Absolutely!
Como siempre, ¡Solo mis dos pinche pesos, por supuesto!
Santa Fe Good -- But slow sometimes-- a few thoughts from a regular SF visitor
[QUOTE=EdwardQ;2938816]After Cali, I headed to Bogota. Both for a dentist visit on Monday and Santa Fe. I like Bogota but don't fancy the weather. Having to pack a sweater in the summer seems ridiculous. Airbnb near Santa Fe is very convenient. Work on Transmilenio and Ave Caracas means even slower traffic than usual. Walked around Zona T -- Crowded with shoppers for a Sunday evening. I had to buy a jacket because of the cold. No skimpy dressed girls walking around here. Taxied to Santa Fe. Have never been too far south of Calle 22. Wow. Compared to the areas around the strip bars, South of Calle 22 is the Wild, Wild West. Perhaps a lower quality girl and certainly groups of Trans girls, but quite the spectacle. On two occasions I saw two different girls standing with their breasts fully exposed on the street corner. That's how fierce the competition is, I guess. I chatted up one young thing and as soon as I mentioned BBBJ she turned cold. Wouldn't budge. Moving on, you have to be bold to approach these girls standing in the darkened corners. I imagine pretty much any kind of action wouldn't be too hard to find with a bit of effort. And you will see more addicts and zombies. I think the biggest difference here on this side of Calle 22 is it's not as well lit, a bit more risky if you are alone, and the girls don't put in too much effort to look good. Pockets of people in small bars and on street corners having fun, which I took part in. Trans girls hustling with supply far outweighing demand. Just keep your wits about you and don't act too drunk. I found a girl I liked and moved to a love hotel. No pressure on time. 50 K standard rate. Average service, but friendly, not too crazy. BBBJ included, but I tipped her in appreciation. The next night I returned and found more people out than the night prior. The girl I met was freezing in her short shorts and thin top. But a cute, innocent thing (to my eyes.) I negotiated BBBJ in the room, which she did, if reluctantly. Bonus 50 K on top of standard 50 K. I could tell she was new to the scene. This is usually the case when the girl offers to pay for the room. Also by how timid she appeared in the streets with her friends. She claimed to be a Vennie only in town for the past 2 months. She initially didn't want to "chupar sin" because, she said, she didn't want to become pregnant. I asked her to repeat this. She said she needed to protect herself. I told her I understood. Then again said she didn't want to get pregnant. I asked how would that be possible via the mouth? She looked confused. The service was mediocre, and when we proceeded to FS, she had no problem with the proximity of my uncovered Johnson to her fertile garden. We used the "preservativo" of course, but I was not really sure if she understood the biology of the act. Again, I suspect she was new to the game here in Bogota. My two night venture in and around Santa Fe included stops at the three liveliest clubs -- Venus, Troya, and Atunes. Very few girls inside any of them. Like, maybe three to five? Not many men either. Venus was the most interesting in that two separate girls did a full strip lap dance on their clients at the table, getting very into it. Sexy as hell. But in general, Santa Fe proper -- where the bars are -- seemed very dead. Not many girls hanging around in the streets. Could be the time of year. I was there from 8 PM to 10 PM and felt safe everywhere. For an extra shot of adventure, I recommend heading over to the streets south of Calle 22 towards Calle 20 and Calle 19. But be careful -- "No Rules" goes both ways.[/QUOTE]Great report- I have been there a lot lately doing tours and on my own-.
All the clubs are good at some time or another.
When clubs are good there can be 15-25+ girls.
You did not mention Texas which away from the club row on KR 16 and Calle 23, Texas has some dirty fun girls when it is good some of those girls work the streets too -- and can have some good pussy during the day too as it has action early.
Similar to Venus and Atonis they have less regulation and you can tip the waiter to leave you alone They even will usually let me bring in my water or other beverage (they know me) -- The sessions can be for less than at Fiebre- Troya-Paisa although there usually is more hot girls in those.
Best time for clubs is evening-- say wed-Sat but can be good on other days.
Street girls are usually really good at rush hour be great and prime times too-- the South stroll dies early-- but there are always usually girls.
