Generally good advice but there are exceptions
[QUOTE=LatinaLover#1;2984724]Historically, for anyone not familiar with Bogota the north is as safe as you can get in Bogota but things happen EVERYWHERE! The further south the more unsafe things get.Bogota is divided into zones, zone 1 is deep south and as you move north to zone 6 in Chico. Utilities are the cheapest in 1 and gets progressively more expensive in the neighborhoods in the North.[/QUOTE]Overall, there is good advice in this post. However there are for sure some exceptions to the North-South rule.
A few:
+ One of the most dangerous areas overall is SantaFe, which of course sits in the center north-south.
+ Parque LOS Hippies area & to the west across Carracas can be sketchy yet many consider it in the "North".
+ Some people consider the north to start around 72 (Ave Chile / Calle 72) in the center Chapinero. Others consider it around Zona T or El Virrey. Others consider the north to be Usaquen and above. So, it's relative. In general, all of those places are safe. But as you mention things happen everywhere and that's not unique to Colombia.
+ There are a few barrios peligroso in the north like cerro norte, santa cecilia, el castilo. But you're not likely to accidentally stumble into them.
+ Some not so great areas in Engativa, but you aren't likely to go there as a destination, but might travel through there on way to / from airport.
+ There really aren't any "gentrified" neighborhoods in the south that I am aware of. But there are some conjuntos or apartment buildings which for sure are safer than others.
Best advice of all is to not automatically think someone is trustworthy because they say they are from the north, nor to think someone is not a good person because they live in the south.
Loving Tantras at the moment
There are 2 nice, slim girls in Tantras at the moment that I've been having fun with. Since you never know the girls names up front it seems pointless to say their names. There are other reviews here of Tantras as well as my own but I'll write details for those that may be new to this.
Search google maps for Tantras spa. It's on Carrera 20 a just north of Calle 72 (south of Calle 72 Carrera 20 a becomes Carrera 17 which may confuse you if you don't zoom in on maps and wondering if that's the place). There are 2 Tantras. On the corner of Carrera 20 a and Calle 72 is the tantras bar. I haven't been in there as I'm mostly visiting during the day but I imagine in the evening it may be good but I believe the girls all move around between the bar and the spa depending on what's busier. From a prior report it appears that if you take a girl up from the bar the girls in the spa get priority on the rooms if all the rooms are busy. That was from a few months ago so not sure if that's still the case just FYI.
The spa location is a white door in between 2 shops (ferre pinturas and apicultura). On my 1st visit to the spa there was a guy in a tantras jacket outside the bar and I asked him "chicas en spa" and he walked me over, buzzed the door and let me in. The 2nd time I went no one was there but the door was locked and to the side of the door is a buzzer which I pushed and the door buzzed open. On my most recent 3 trips there no one was outside but the door was unlocked. Either way the door will be closed and you either just open it or push the buzzer to be let in. Once inside walk down the short hallway to the stairs on your left and walk up. Once upstairs there's a girl behind a counter who will tell you take a seat on one of the couches, she'll ring a bell and the girls will come out for you to choose from. Upstairs can sometimes be busy with guys sitting with girls talking and other times is quiet. The number of girls coming out varies from 8-12 of them. On my very last visit a lot of the girls were talking to other guys on the couches and only 4 were available to come over to me. Sometimes they'll shake your hand, sometimes not. Either way you just point to the girl you want and the rest leave. If you're familiar with Thai massage places in Bangkok it was exactly the same. After this you pay the girl behind the counter for the general service and time. There is 30 minutes for 60 mil and 1 hour for 110 mil. On one of my visits they didn't have change. Another visit I gave the girl 150 and she gave me the 40 mil back in change. My most recent one was a prior appointment with a girl and once up the stairs she took me to the room straight away and she took my 150 mil while I was waiting in the room. I was expecting change and she didn't give it to me and so when leaving I asked for it and she seemed reluctant about it but gave me change back. I think best practice though is to probably go there with the exact amount to give the girl behind the counter.
From here it depends. Sometimes the girl will confirm what you want before going into the room or leave to get freshened up. The general service included with the time paid with the girl at the counter is BBBJ and sex multiple positions with 1 shot. My needs vary but it typically cost 50 k more that you then pay the girl for extras. As an example, first time I wanted to touch the girls tits, pussy and CIM which cost 50 k. Another time I wanted DATY and besos con Lengua (DFK) which was 50 k. Another girl I got touching pussy, tits and proper DFK for 50 k. Anal has been offered by 1 girl for 100 k and most recently another girl who said 200 mil for it which I laughed at and she laughed too and I think she was just hoping I would say yes but I think if anal is your thing you could probably negotiate for 50-100 mil. Bottom line is extras on top of the basic BBBJ and 1 shot sex start at 50 k with most girls accepting 50 mil for a number of things combined.
The rooms are small. Actually they're bare minimum. Doggy is best done both using the bed with your knees bent on the bed rather than my preferred which is the girl bending over on the bed and me standing due to the size of the room. There's a small space at the end of the bed to put your clothes and shoes so they don't get in the way. Most, in my experience all of them, will give your their WhatsApp number but they seem to work daily from 11-9 so chances of meeting them outside may be slim. They will hit you up asking to come back though so if you don't want those messages then don't share WhatsApp info. There are a variety of girls every time I've been ranging from tall, short, slim / very thin to slightly thicker but I've never seen a fat girl in there, slim / tiny ass to thick ass. Light brown skin to more Caribbean looking darker. The girls stay pretty much the same weekly but on this visit there were no girls from my prior visits so I'm thinking they work there for a month or two and then move on which is good for variety. Alcohol wipes are a standard.
Nothing wrong in catching an uber or didi there but it's fairly non descriptive so I like to get the ride to the Chile Avenida Mall which is about a 5-8 minute walk from the spa. It's a nice, safe, non descriptive mall with a small food court area. Here I can freshen up in the mall restrooms if I need to, grab a coffee or juice, etc before heading down there. There's construction on Avenida Caracas but you can walk straight from the mall to the corner of 72 and 20 A. Once finished I just walk back to the mall and get an uber back to the hotel or go for a walk somewhere to eat or drink. There's some good restaurants / cafes near there and the area feels safe.
I always do the hour even though I don't use all the time and would probably be better served by doing the 30 minutes but I don't want to be rushed. The girls will be quick to give BBBJ and then once hard get a rubber on so that they ride you and finish you but don't be afraid to say "mas oral por favor". My experiences with the girls, I have had about 8 or 9 girls there now, have all been good except for 1 girl who just wasn't quite into it but still rode me like a champ. On my most recent visit a cute slim 22 year old blonde let me facefuck her for an extended period of time. A lot of fun with a lot of gagging, spit and snot coming out of her nose while ramming down her throat. She was into it. Another very, very cute thin 21 year old. For working in this place her pussy was tight and despite wanting to last forever with her thin girls are my thing and grabbing her waist, ramming her up and down on me in cowgirl and grabbing her tits meant that I never lasted close to the hour but I repeated with her multiple times. Both girls charged me 50 k additional for DFK and CIM. Unfortunately she ruined it on the last day when I said I couldn't make it in to the spa and she whatsapped me saying she was sick and needed money and in a desperate situation and to please send it to her by western union. But I didn't reply and I'm not that shocked. The girls want money. Next day she posts on her WhatsApp story like normal. That's just the way it is. I'll still message her when I'm back down here, she'll still happily accept my money and I'll still happily accept that tight pussy wrapped around my dick. Viva Colombia!
