Cartagena Reports

[QUOTE=SouthernOcean;2511590]I am looking to maximize the experience. I will be there for seven days. I travel once a year and need to make the most of each opportunity. I read your posts about how helpful Tinder can be in finding quality escorts, but for security reasons I cannot sign up for Tinder on my own. Hence I would be glad to pay for access to Tinder on someone's account to get the best selection possible. Am I made of money, no, but I am coming to have a great time.[/QUOTE]I promise that you do not need Tender and that Tender will not add anything to your experience that you cannot find at the Clubs La Dolce Vita and Space or at the Clock Tower area. I had originally downloaded Tender and even paid for Tender Gold so I could start trawling Cartagena before I left to go down there, but truth be told I did not find as many quality chicas on there as are going to standing right in front of you in the Plaza de LOS Coches by the clocktower or in the clubs. To me it was actually a waste of money.

[QUOTE=MongerHunger;2511189]On Calle 1 B in El Laguito there are a few places that have complete meals for 10,000 COP. A local also recommended Sabores del Mar to me. It wasn't bad. First time I had rib soup.[/QUOTE]On that street the place with the grill outside is a pretty good.

Carbon de Pollo on Calle 6 is very good-- meats and typical Colombian plates at $10-$15, La Dulceria on Cra 2 across the street is also good. And there are quite a few Lebanese places around.

All the cool people go to Juan Valdez near there. LOL.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2511104]Getsemani also has nice places. And if you head north of the old city, away from Bocagrande towards the airport there are less touristy places as well. BTW the tourists are not USA either, many from Bogata and Medellin.[/QUOTE]I am just surveying from two thousand miles away and the devastation this virus has brought is crazy. One example is a place I was introduced to by chica I met on Latinamerican Cupid on my first trip a dozen years ago called Mila Postres. I always made it a point to visit this place for their tacos and then a coffee drink with some type of dessert because that's what they specialized in, the local chica that took me their originally back 2008 said it was famous all over Colombia. From all the delivery and take out boxes that looked like Tiffany boxes lining the walls I would think they were booming before the virus.

I have stayed in Costa Rica, Panama, and several places in Mexico but this is shaping up to be the one place I will repeat. Looking forward to it. Will be there on the 4th. Perhaps I can buy some of my fellow mongers a drink.

[QUOTE=BrotherP;2511077]Ok, thanks! 10 or 15 bucks for a good meal is fine![/QUOTE]You say you are staying in El Laguito on 1 B. Just where the road forks at the northern end of the El Laguito area there is a place called Riquisimo BBQ. It doesn't look like much and I am not saying they are gourmet but they have a wood burning grill and do a pretty good flame broiled "baby beef" served Argentinian style with chimichurri, ( about ten dollars US)I would not recommend any other steak here its kind of tough, the baby beef is good though. They do other things to of course and the fresh fish that comes off their grill is decent also. I have found myself at Riquisimo a lot while staying in El Laguito because it stays open later than most places that close at 10 pm.

Sorry but I am not a big fan of Ceviche, but ironically the one place that I tried it was a restaurant in Cartagena, I prefer my seafood grilled or scampi. The place that I tried Ceviche in Cartagena is long gone since that was 2008.

this place is right near the clock tower has maintained a perfect 5 rating out of over 900 hundred reviews ( it must be the shit) ! So if you want ceviche than I am betting this would be the place. One of the reviews said Anthony Bourdain (RIP) made the place famous and another review said the prices are fair but the servings are small. Looks to right on Plaza de Los Coches near the Hard Rock Cafe - Hell I did not even like ceviche the one time I tried it but I may even try it here the next time I visit

Where is the best place to exchange money. On other trips I used ATMs at the airport and around town. Do they have an ATM at the airport. Probably a stupid question but want to be prepared.

Never been to Cartagena. Have been to other places in Colombia.

My plan is to fly to Cartagena, rent a car and drive along the coast hopefully with a rented honey. I do not know how feasible it is and how safe. I do not plan to drive at night and hoping the honey will provide some safety and point me in the right direction. Watching some UTube presentation it is beautiful along the coast.

You can do it, and you may like it a lot, but there is a number of caveat to warn you about:

1) COVID does not exist?

2) Do you speak Spanish fluently? If not, forget it.

3) You cannot "rent a honey" for such a long trip. Your compaignon must be trusted 101%, and there must be some real feeling. It is difficult to spend a whole night with a "rented honey" if there is not enough chemistry, imagine a week out of town. I doubt you can find such a person in few days. If the girl is not special, and if she does not consider you special as well, the trip can easily become a nightmare.

In short, I would advise to do it next year, if you speak fluent Spanish, without a lady, and not on your first trip to Colombia. In all other cases, it's a NO.

Carbon de Pollo on Calle 6 is very good.[/QUOTE]OMG! "Chicken Charcoal"??
The name is *Carbon DE PALO*!!

Why not making a search for "restaurant" in this thread. Plenty of posts, comments and countercomments. I wrote a few too. Many excellent restaurants in Cartagena, but real quality is in Centro, not in Bocagrande.

I ate there twice, it was 2 blocks from where I was staying. Great steaks and chicken for about half to 2/3 the price in the USA. Took a chica there one night and had a wonderful meal, the filets are large and tasty. She had the chicken and it was very good too. I also had good meals at El Muele and Hamachi. Had a good fish dinner at Muelle with the chica and it was a nice romantic uncrowded oceanfront meal. Hamachi has very good sushi and I live in San Diego where we have a lot of great sushi. Service was good to excellent at all 3.

[QUOTE=BrotherP;2512345]I'm staying in laguito. But I'm definitely planning on having dinner in centro every night. Can't wait![/QUOTE]Stayed in Laguito on my 1st trip in Feb (Superbowl weekend). Never ate anywhere else but Laguito. Had everything we wanted within walking distance. But for me I basically keep it simple and eat a sandwich or Arroz con pollo (rice with chicken). One place in Laguito that shares a driveway with a pizza shop, had good food for the price to me. Next time I stay in Laguito, I'll learn to take the city bus around. A lot of nice true working girls on the buses.

Returning again this in Feb for Superbowl weekend but staying in el Centro this time to see the difference between staying at the 2 places (Centro and Laguio). I know Centro will be more expensive in terms of meals, but not having to take the cab makes up for it. Should be easy to find my dinner spot, but I want a place that has the best looking waitresses in Centro or Getsemani. Anyone have info on that?

In terms of action, LDV, Space and Clock tower were the places. No need for Tinder or any online social media to meet someone. They were everywhere this past Feb. Those in the clock tower would walk to LDV and Space. Those in Space would walk back-and-forth to LDV. Same girls in diff't locations. I never paid more than 300 K all night (got a most for 200 K all night) and I never paid more than 125 K for ST. Speaking a little Spanish and having a sense of humor does help with negotiating prices.

I got a lot of info off this site for my 1st trip. Thanks to all for the info. Bringing my best friend along this next time so he can experience what I did.

Oh BTW, Cartagena has some great scuba diving. I had 4 dives in Feb.

2. Can manage Spanish, not fluent with various dialect. Have managed very well with previous trips.

3. Will spend few days in Cartagena. Maybe I will get a honey. Have done it in DR and Costa Rica. Always rented a car and traveled all over.

Not planning to rent a car and drive alone along the coast. Need to have a local honey to make it interesting. It does not have to be total honeymoon type. Mainly a business transaction with sex thrown in. I am good in judging girls to see who will be good company and carefree.

For the first trip I need a companion. Once I get the lay of the land I can be more adventurous. My main worry was the safety.

Thanks for your honest opinion.

[QUOTE=Sammon;2512403]1. Should get Covid Vaccine by February.
[/QUOTE]OK. This if this is the level of planning I wish you luck.

[QUOTE=SouthernOcean;2511840]Where is the best place to exchange money. On other trips I used ATMs at the airport and around town. Do they have an ATM at the airport. Probably a stupid question but want to be prepared.[/QUOTE]There is of course a place in the airport and places all over to exchange money but most people say it is best to just use am ATM. I have said this in other posts but it bears repeating. Make sure you alert your bank that you are traveling! I have been in Colombia and had my card shut down and had to call the bank and that was back when I did not hit the ground with a phone like I do now. It is stressful situation to try to avoid. I even had some transactions denied on my last trip but they did not cancel the card. So be sure to alert your bank. Other members have mentioned that they always spread some money over a couple of accounts and take a back up ATM card from another account just in case. That said if you are not hitting the ground with a phone that is going to work there without you having to buy a SIM card (I use Google Fi because its international. Other people use their own carrier's international plan) you may want to take enough cask to get you a couple of taxi rides and a SIM card. Maybe take $100 USD to exchange at the airport for contingencies like your card not working. Again this is just from experiences that I have had in the past of them putting a fraud block on my card even when I did notify my bank and Visa that I would be traveling to Cartagena.

The cash exchange place is inside the airport is going to be marked "Cambios" I think, I am not sure about ATMs inside the terminal building because it is just a habit for me to go the the ATM right before I get in the line at the taxi stand / que once you exit the building, then you take a left and walk toward the end of building and just past the taxi stand you will see a sign that says "Cajero" and another that reads "servibanka" and there are ATMs just inside lobby style for security.

Visiting Cartagena for first time in February and staying for a month. I am wondering if any of you Cartagena veterans do testosterone replacement therapy in the states and have found a doctor or clinic that will administer this shots in Cartagena. Thanks.

[QUOTE=TomJackin;2512160]In the walled city, the street food is abundant and in my opinion, it's quite good.[/QUOTE]That's what I'm talking about. That's what I want to say. For all that I love Cambodia, the local food is not high on the scale of greatness. Unlike Thailand. That's a good looking grill!

Anyone or place grilling say Camarones or Pulpo? I love the way I have those grilled in Mexico.

What would the Colombian term for Mexican or Texmex Barbacao be? Do they eat Cabra?

Is street etiquette the same as in SE Asia, IE, a few tables and plastic chairs, bring your own nappies?

[QUOTE=BrotherP;2512345]I'm staying in laguito. But I'm definitely planning on having dinner in centro every night. Can't wait![/QUOTE]Two of my favorite restaurants in Centro are pretty close to each other one is Crepes & Waffles which sounds like a breakfast place but do not let the name fool you, they have all types of crepes, they have a huge menu. They are considered a little on the upscale side. They started in Colombia but they have locations in many countries. Crepes & Waffles has locations that just do like ice cream desserts in malls but this is one of their classier full menu places. My favorite is the chicken and mushrooms, and the desserts are not to be matched anywhere, The Centro location is on the south end of Carrera 4 just south of Calle 32.

The second place is just steps away maybe 4 buildings down on the Plaza San Pedro across from the church called Parroquia San Pedro Claver and the restaurant itself is called San Pedro Caf Mirador and is in one of the nicest colonial buildings of the city that I have been in it is a large place with large windows seating on the first floor, seating in a mezzanine area, and when it is clear I like to sit outside.

Photos marked CW are Crepes & Waffles, SP are San Pedro Cafe.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2512714]Crepes and waffles is Boca grande too.

I guess your favorite coffee shop is Juan Valdez.[/QUOTE]Most definitely I like the location in Bocagrande better in fact I think the service is better there. I think that was the only location when I first started visiting Cartagena. As for coffee shop depends actually on what part of town I am in. If I am in Bocagrande I will go to Juan Valdez. Mila Postre in Centro for cappuccino with dessert!! But sadly I think they are closed now for good. One of my things is when I am on vacation I indulge in things I do not do at home for health reasons, I am not supposed to have a lot of sweets but I have a wicked sweet tooth that I mostly ignore but on holiday in Cartagena I always made at least one trip every other day to Mila Postre. Sometimes I have their tacos also but they specialize it freshly made desserts, make a delicious rich flan (Creme caramel), great cheesecake, they are one of the victims if the Coronavirus Google Maps has them listed as "closed permanently".

I have some Juan Valdez coffee in my kitchen right now. I get it off Amazon. For just a pot of drip "American coffee" I prefer Tanzanian Peaberry but I use Juan Valdez Coffee Intense Volcan Espresso Dark Roast Ground in my espresso machine. .

In Cartagena now! Arrived yesterday, I did hit up the discos but was too tired to pull the trigger. Met a fellow American and he showed me around a bit since its my first time.

Went to la dolce vita around 8 or 9 pm, very few girls to begin with, but they started trickling in fast. Went from 5 girls to 20 or 30 girls quickly.

Hit up delirium with the American dude I met at LDV. It was popping there, tons of hookers!!

Checked out misti-k also and then called it a night.

Looks like discos are now open until 1 am now, changed from midnight in the last few days!!

Today I'll check out the clock tower and discos again. Going to fuck for sure tonight. The 12 hours of travel killed me yesterday.

To each his own.[/QUOTE]I have been around the block with the testosterone thing and talked to many health professionals about it so I will throw my two sense in on this one, I am not trying to get in a pissing contest either but its a debatable issue. I am told it also depends on how low your natural testosterone is. If you really have a large deficit than the fact that it depletes your natural production is the cost of feeling normal and the pros out way the cons, If you have a large deficit than the loss of energy is going to mimic depression and going to cause a loss your personal production and maybe cost money, it is going to cause your muscles to atrophy cause a person to put on fat which puts them in danger of heart issues, high blood pressure, cancer, diabetes etc. Low testosterone also causes anemia, poor memory, low sex drive and osteoporosis.

So living with true low testosterone can be depressing, and bad for your psychologically and physically it can actually shorten your life. Getting on therapy directed to get you to normal levels has risks also not just the ones listed by BlackPage, the biggest risk is that too much testosterone will also case health effects and unfortunately for people my age "too much testosterone" can mean less than for younger men. It increases your risk of prostate cancer and fuels rapid growth of prostate cancer. It can lead to cardiovascular issues that can be fatal, and it can lead to negative psychological issues too.

Years ago when I was in my late twenties and early thirties I hang out with a group of bikers that were all either current or ex professional wrestlers (WWE style showman fake wrestling) a couple of whom had even done shows in Madison Garden and one had been in the ring with Mr. T back in the day, another had been Mick Foley's partner in the 80's before Foley was famous as "Mankind" and "Cactus Jack" in the 90's. By the time I knew these guys they were knocked down a few notches were just running their own local thing running shows in small town national guard armories. Anyway these guys were roid heads to be polite about it. They didn't buy street steroids they had a in somewhere where they could get Testosterone Cypionate (the same you get from the doc for therapy most likely) and they were doing this stuff when they were forty years old. They are all dead now. All of them. Five fiends of mine. I moved around and lost touch with most of them before that but over like a ten year period I heard about each of their deaths. One was liver cancer at 43 yrs old, another was cardiac arrest at 42 years old, one was prostate cancer at around 45 years old, I never head what the other two died from but they did not die in accidents and they did not live to see 50 and they thing they all had in common was using that testosterone.

That does not mean that I am any smarter than anyone else, a few years ago I was having a about of mid life crises bummed outness and was frustrated with going to the gym everyday killing myself trying to lose weight and not seeing the types of gains from it that I had ten years before and so I go all my shit checked out by one of those clinics in Florida that specialize in older men's health. I do not live in Fla but in those days you called them up, made an appointment and they sent an Advanced Practical Nurse to your house and they did the physical and sent your blood to LabCorp and then those vampires would sell you the testosterone for what I later calculated to be four times the regular market value. They were able to do this because Florida was / is the only state that does not regulate testosterone stricter than that. They sense cracked down federally and can not do all this remotely the way I did, you have have a face to face the last time l checked.

I do not have any problem sticking myself in the butt with a shot, you just have to get that darting motion down with a flick of the wrist like you are throwing a dart. Just don't let go of the needles LOL. I felt eighteen years old again, I put on muscle in the gym like Arnold, I started having women looking twice at me again, I was waking up with morning wood for the first time in years, I had energy and vigor like I was high all the time. It was amazing, then a few months in and started having trouble urinating. A lot of starting and stopping. I had to tell my VA doc that was cheating on him and seeing a Fla doc on the side that made me feel younger. And tell him about the testosterone. He agreed to that if I got off it for a month than we would retest and if I fit the the VA's profile of low testosterone they would prescribe it to me, I did not meet hem I was normal range. He explained to me that the most likely thing that had happened was that the testosterone had enlarged my prostate and he said if I had continued it could have led to cancer. That's when I got my first lecture about testosterone and the dangers. That's when I started thinking about all my friends who had died young.

My experiences and observations are that testosterone can be vital if you truly needed or dangerous if you do not, and if you need it don't be such a pussy have the RN show you the darting action for giving the shot and after that do it yourself. If you are dealing with those doctors down in Florida they may not have your best health interest in mind over the interest of their profits.

[QUOTE=FatClown;2513403]In Cartagena now! Arrived yesterday, I did hit up the discos but was too tired to pull the trigger. Met a fellow American and he showed me around a bit since its my first time.

Went to la dolce vita around 8 or 9 pm, very few girls to begin with, but they started trickling in fast. Went from 5 girls to 20 or 30 girls quickly.

Hit up delirium with the American dude I met at LDV. It was popping there, tons of hookers!!

Checked out misti-k also and then called it a night.

Looks like discos are now open until 1 am now, changed from midnight in the last few days!!

1. Is the place you are staying girlfriendly? I heard many of the top hotels are not. I generally like higher end hotels and not into airB&be, apartments with no security etc.

2. I tend to wife up girls for a few days. I am not much into ST deal. What's your experience?

I didn't have any street food yet, I checked out an upscale Argentinian place yesterday, see photos. (having trouble uploading pics of the food, ill see if I can fix that later.).

It was delicious! I'll have to try the street food too!

I think they got the idea, some even replied its fine if they have ID. Or one replied as long they are not minors (too young).

Many airbnbs even have 24 hour doorman. They will usually list that in their description, but not always surprisingly. You can look at the reviews and ask about that also.

My airbnb does NOT have a doorman, but an external gate with key into the apartment complex. Not the most secure but I definitely feel safe here. A friend even recommended a place like this so you don't get any trouble with security not letting the girls in.

I had my first short time last night. I know long time is on the table for many girls, and yes I met a guy that loves staying with girls 4 to 5 days at a time. He does business down here, so he is here for long periods of time, so he has figured out how to get what he wants.

I'm just curious if you negotiate multiple days up front or not? What if she sucks and you want her to leave? LOL.

I think long time for a single night should be fairly easy to negotiate, depends on attitude of the girls. I have a suspicion that a lot of these Venezuelan girls are super cheap and willing to do things like multiple days at a time. I think you can negotiate this type of stuff at the clock tower. Nightclub girls sometimes have a chip on their shoulder, but everyone also has a price.

My two cents would be negotiate long time for one night, then in the morning negotiate multiple days. Pay for her taxi home abd back if she needs to sort some shit out. They have to like setup babysitters sometimes or maybe they need to grab clothes etc.

Maybe some others can chime in about advice for multiple days long time.

Hope this helps!

Delirium?? Can you supply an address or general description of the location for this place Delirium?? If its crawling with hookers I need to try to add to the map. What was up with the Misti-K? Any hookers?

Any hookers?[/QUOTE]Delirium is in the same exact area, literally if you go one block from LDV. Delirium gastro bar, you can see it on google maps. See attached photo.

I heard from a guy that spends a lot of time here that LDV closed for a month for renovations, and everyone moved to delirium and it kinda stuck as a hooker spot. LDV still has hoes though. Different vibes. LDV seems very chill. Delirium is more night club, loud music, crowded. They have hookah too! If you've ever been to Flex in Pattaya, kinda like that! Hip hop or popular Latino dancing music, like young people stuff.

It is packed to the brim with hookers on Friday and Saturday at least. I arrived on Friday so I'm not sure what its like on weekdays.

I believe misti-k is on google maps too. Not sure about the percentage of hookers there. Its upscale nightclub vibe, I know I saw a hooker from LDV / delirium at misti-k for sure. But she was with a group of dudes, they might have met at a different spot but brought her to misti-k. I believe it was more of a normal, non puta club but maybe some percent of putas too. Not sure!

Hope you have had a chance to get in the mix of things. Arriving on the 4th of January. What kind of prices am I looking at for 9's and 10's. Never tried it before but looking for anal this trip. Is it prevalent there. Not popular in Costa Rica or Mexico.

No, anal is not prevalent in Colombia.

I had a great time in Cartagena. Colombian families are not in Cartagena because of the virus, they are staying home completely. About 20% of the number of people that normally come for the Christmas season. Streets are vacant except for the taxi drivers and annoying street vendors.

Many girls at the clock tower. Some are 8 and 9's. Many are hardened, experienced pros. Also there are many Colombian men around the clock tower trying to intervene and collect a fee for introducing you to a woman-they are interloper pests and will try to get money from you for introductions, if you let them- avoid them. "My friend" is usually what they say or "What do you want, my friend. " "No moleste" is a good phrase to repeat and they will counter with "its my job", or "this is not your country" and then leave you alone. Most of these aggressive men come by launch from the island of Baru and are trying to sell something during the daytime and are pests. They are low lifes but you are a rich man if you can afford an airplane ticket there and look like a gringo, and their job is to get easy money from a stupid tourist.

Movie theatres are closed. Many restaurants have limited staff and slow service. Everyone wears masks, except the girls at the clock tower go without masks so you can see their face.

In my dream I met a solid 9, 20 years old, great body, and had a bareback experience for 300 mil pesos. Everything was bareback except no BBBJ. Not sure why, I would have rated her at 9. 5 if she did mamar me pene also. She originally said she wanted 500 mil pesos, but I said no, and kept interviewing the other girls. Great performance in the bedroom, her name was Catholina or something like that.

About 40 girls at clock tower at 8 pm. Girls were just standing around because not many customers. Probably 80% of the girls were Venez. Most bars closed at midnight.

Does anyone know if Cartagena will have similar curfews in effect over Christmas and new years?

It seems Medellin will be shut down a few days around Christmas and new years.

[/QUOTE]I had a short experience with one of these assholes in the clock tower area. Someone needs to remind them that pimping is illegal in Colombia the last time I checked. I do not know how to say "pimping" in Spanish. I told this one asshole this is English and then with my limited Spanish I insinuated by asking "quieres hablamos con policia"? He got the message and stormed away. Assholes!

Yes I have come to detest those aggressive guys with the "Mister or Hello Sir or My Friend", they are usually costeno jack asses who if you don't set them straight right away will walk and pester you for 3 blocks.

My rule with these punks after 2 of my polite but firm "No Thank you amigo" is to say "Fuck Off you maricon, get the fuck away from me you costeno piss ass", it works. And should they come back with something I will get right into their sorry brown ass lazy costeno face and threaten them, these guys stand about 5'-4" and weigh in at about 130 lbs and size matters especially in Colombia.

For many of them this is the only thing that will keep them in check and just maybe they will not harass the next gringo that they encounter.

Much love and respect to all.

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]Tallman, you've been around this hobby for a while so I know your an experienced traveler. But even a 5 foot nothing can pull a Triger. I've travel thru out Latin America for years and I have never seen it so dangerous as it is today. My MO is to say nothing and just wave my finger back and forth in a no thanks fashion, that way they never hear my gringo accent and it has worked beautifully for me. From the pain in ass vendors in Copa as it does with the Venezolano beggars on the streets of Bogota. Us stand up guys always feel like we need to teach these punks a lesson but most of these outcomes will be bad. I remember coming out of Help a few years ago at 5 or 6 AM and a drunk Russian asshole decided to bad mouth a gringo coming down the steps toward TA. The gringo could handle himself and clocked this guy and he feel down the steps unconscious. The cops came and if you know the Rio cops, they just took him to jail, no questions asked. Long story short, he spend 3 of his 7 day vacation in a Rio jail so what did he prove. When I'm traveling, I try to avoid any confrontation, I know I can handle myself, so I don't need to prove I'm a stand up guy to anyone in another country. Life is cheap in Colombia, you can get somebody dumped for less than 300 k cop. So best is to avoid it all. Peace brother.

Greetings ALl,

I'll be in Cartagena on January 11th for a birthday week trip. Been trying to get there for forever LOL. Super excited. Been doing a little Tinder thumping and met a few to save some time in the beginning. Just curious, Are the Hilton / Hyatt hotels girl friendly? I don't plan on running them in and out but just wondering if it's impossible to get or two in. Thanks.

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2514764]You never want to get into a fight with the locals because you will generally get your ass kicked by more than one. Rule #1 of traveling in a foreign country.[/QUOTE]This is the way I roll nowadays. The majority of these punks know only threats and dominance to get them to back off, they have no respect for anyone other than when someone likes me puts them into their place, you all can take the 'oh I just tell them no gracias and they will understand my kind gesture' but this is bull shit, these are punks who you all have been allowing them to grow in their aggressive and unrestrained behaviors.

Like I said these lazy ass costenos are the typical 5'-4" and 135 lbs mama boys who prey on the weak and timid, don't play into this, stand your ground, be firm with them otherwise they think they can continue to be overly aggressive and intimidating to any gringo or gringa.

And yes they typically work in a group of 2 or 3 but the others are just as puny and scared when they "get it" that you don't put up with their shit.

I got some Mexican friends back in my day from East LA and these guys you don't dare fuck with but they, right or wrong, earned their respect but not these costeno sad fucks that roam the beaches and streets of Cartagena.

These costenos need to go back to when they were in their early teens to their favorite donkey where they learned to fuck, oh they love their donkeys and have such a fondness for them, yes I know the costa culture more than most people. I know and understand their dark secrets.

Some of you will take offense to my opinion but travel around enough and you will come to the same understanding and conclusions. I have seen much.

Merry Christmas to all!

Is Hollywood Beach open? Any action there? Would to have a beach bunny at least once while there. Also, what kind of prices should I be looking at. I am not one to negotiate so it would be nice to know if I am paying too much.

Still quite hot during the day and may be more comfortable and slightly cooler with breezes in January and February. Maybe more people after the virus scare is over. Last weekend I had 2 girls come up to me in Laguito, conversate and offer me their phone numbers. They were asking 200,000 pesos for their company. Both were doable, but 8's and not 9's. One (Victoria) had a herpes blister on her lip, I asked her about that and she said she had a fever a few days before- no thanks.

Conversely, I have seen many furriners take a nice beat down in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. And unless the ATM is opened wide, guess who goes away in cuffs in the bed of a pickup truck. And hope that the cops have even gotten there in time. And they really don't have to concept of machismo as we understand it.

So its a lot easier to smile and be happy. Its their country, their people, their rules. You are a guest. The cost of your airfare can feed one of the bottom feeders for a year, if you can't deal with the fact that in these countries, you are seen as a walking ATM, you shouldn't be there.

Donkey Sex: The Most Bizarre Tradition [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VKWLC87Uzw[/URL].

I rented an apartment near the clock tower and made sure they allowed visitors. I only asked about visitors and did not specify hookers. After confirmation I read the house rules, different than website, that they do not allow sex workers or "friends", as they put it. Do you think the warning is generic and does the government really have a law against it? I am wondering if that is the case and try my luck bringing in a woman. I also considered bribing the security people during my stay. What would be an appropriate bribe? Do you think I should do that?

Donkey Sex: The Most Bizarre Tradition [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VKWLC87Uzw[/URL].[/QUOTE]Bizarre to the western world but normal as breathing air for young cosento boys coming of age.

A few years ago the mechanic at a shop in centro Medellin did all my sound system on my car and some other electrical add-ons, he worked at the shop, and he is a really cool costeno about 40 yo and for hours as he worked on my car we talked and I never laughed so much with him when he tells me about his life growing up as a young kid in the coast areas.

He still has fond memories of his favorite donkey 25 years later, he was serious, they come to have such an affection and emotional tie with their "first love" no different than us gringos thinking back of our high school sweetheart whom we lost our virginity to back in our teens.

This year right before the China virus I needed to replace my light bar on my car so went back to this shop, as soon as I pull into the shop I see my costeno friend and we both start laughing. He promised to share 30 yo photos with me of his favorite donkey from back in the day.

You can't make this stuff up.

Greetings.[/QUOTE]Thank you!

I am in medellin, but I may come back to cartagena for new years.

There has been no announcements of curfew for new years, right?

Hi,

I'm planning to come to Cartagena in February and this is my first trip in Cartagena have been to Costa Rica in the Ian so I thought maybe we'll try this out so if anybody has any location information or where to pick up the girls other than the clock Tower or maybe if you have a contact information for the girls I would really appreciate it you can personal message me thank you.

[QUOTE=SouthernOcean;2515413]I rented an apartment near the clock tower and made sure they allowed visitors. I only asked about visitors and did not specify hookers. After confirmation I read the house rules, different than website, that they do not allow sex workers or "friends", as they put it. Do you think the warning is generic and does the government really have a law against it? I am wondering if that is the case and try my luck bringing in a woman. I also considered bribing the security people during my stay. What would be an appropriate bribe? Do you think I should do that?[/QUOTE]Cancel. They lied to you.

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2515435]Bizarre to the western world but normal as breathing air for young cosento boys coming of age....You can't make this stuff up...
The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]Okay, a coupla' years ago I was driving in a Renault Sandero with another American and a young (handsome) costeño kite instructor through a reclaimed marsh. I was driving and as the marsh was really testing the limits of the tiny rental, I wasn't paying 100% attention, but at some point it changed from lunch and what kind of animals are good to eat to what kind of animals are good to f'ck. So, from the American:

"Con yegua?

"Yeah, for sure".

"Oh man, I think you're shining us on -- look me in the eye and tell me that again. Con mula, burra. Oveja?

"Yeah, sure. I mean, think about it, I was eleven, twelve years old, living on the farm. I didn't have a girlfriend...what was I supposed to do?

I chimed in, "y cabra?

"No", he said. "Too small. "

CTG.

Got off to a crazy start. First spirit gave away my seats. Thats never happened before. I got a refund but was still irritated. Both flights were oversold.

I get through customs easy. I ask the taxi stop an a ATM. As I open the door a passing taxi hits the door.

We argue, a cop shows up. He tells me I can settle it here or go to body shop. LOL. I end up giving one eighty and the other 60 US. Both vehicles were damaged and the gringo is always wrong. Things happen if your in the game long enough. Thats my worse experience since 2010. No biggie.

Now my ATM card isn't working despite the fact that I put in a travel voucher. Wouldn't even let me WU myself some money. That took 2 calls to straighten out.

Is the universe sending me a message? LOL.

So the chica I had plans with shows up. She was incredible! Prettier in person. Crazy body from working out. BBBJ. Good sex. 250 plus taxi.

Showered up and hit Centro. Dulce Vida was good. Some nice talent.

Delirum was better! Had a blast chica watching and listening to the music.

Ran into two guys I know from the DR. Got 2 numbers. A good night!

Any recommendations on what to do for NYE? Should I be looking for parties at clubs or just walk around the city and hit some bars? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Also any suggestions on guest friendly hotels?

Is Cartagena is operating as normal? They didn't impose curfews or shut clubs & bars like the other Colombian cities?

Had a relaxing breakfast at a place next to the condo. Charlie's coffee I think. Cheap good. Hit the beach. Not much eye candy.

Had lunch on the beach at a place with gorgeous views. I forgot the name, too much red wine. Fish with shrimp and mussels 2 glasses of wine. About 40 bucks with tips. It was worth it. Food was good and portions were nice.

A chica from last night started sending pics. A pretty dark venezolana. She comes by. Straight porn star. Deep throat, she ran through every position I know and loved it! I didn't too!

After she left I went to centro to see the sunset from the wall. Beautiful!

Probably won't do much more clubs this trip. Its bad enough were drinking with no mask on.

People smoking cigarettes and hookahs is a serious germ. Spreader. Ill just hang at out door bars the rest of the trip. Peace!

Do not mention hookers! (it is pretty crazy down there not just because of sex tourism per say but because a little while back there was a huge sting operation where they busted. A lot of underage shit was caught up and a lot of girls like 14 yrs old and even as young as 12 so now its political as hell and everyone looks at that as how bad it is) So just say that you have friends in Cartagena that you want to spend time with in the apartment and you were told that you could. Show them the message where you were told you can have visitors. If it is a building police then for sure I agree with YippieKayay (I agree with him anyway if you have not given them any money, cancel and get clear) if it is past your cancelation deadline and you have already given them money than it might be a greater hassle to cancel and get a refund. For sure explain to them that the whole reason you wanted the apartment was that you have friends in Cartagena that you want to entertain and now your while trip is going to be ruined and you for sure be reviewing them as scam artists for renting to you in false pretense on every website you can find, the website you found them on, TripAdvisor, etc. But start by just asking the people who work the door,.

Please let us know how it works out, and report those assholes on here so no other monger falls for their shit which is a lot like bait and switch, and then also go to the Cartagena Hotels and Rental Apartments thread in this Colombia forum and scroll until you see my recommendation.

[QUOTE=Lebyteme;2515835]Is Cartagena is operating as normal? They didn't impose curfews or shut clubs & bars like the other Colombian cities?[/QUOTE]I really want to know this information too, specifically for new years!

Cartagena had bars and clubs open until midnight or 1 am when I was there the week before Christmas.

All bars in Medellin close at 10 pm, so I might come back to Cartagena for new years, if someone can confirm the info!

Hit the gym, breakfast, then the beach. Everything on the beach is spaced out. Chicas are slowly coming back. My favorita won't be back until January. Had an amazing lunch at sabores del Mar. In laguito. Fish with shrimp and mussels. Had my porn star venezolana come back. She was amazing! Later hit clock tower bar in centro. Good time. Variety of American music. From rolling stones to kool in the gang! Lmao! Some pretty chicas but mostly the be team. Hit delirium bar for some drinks. Nice talent. Got a few numbers. Didn't like the hookah smoke.

I like Cartagena. I can definitely see myself living here. Plenty to do. Not cheap, but affordable.

I've been trying to find a nicer apartment that's chica friendly. No luck so far. Many places are not guest friendly.

[QUOTE=BrotherP;2516381]Many places are not guest friendly.[/QUOTE]Because of COVID they are also clamping down on sex tourism. Go to Brazil. It's cheaper and most hotels are chica friendly in Rio. You just ask them what their guest policy is.

Cartagena is a waste of time, money, and just a headache right now.

Woke up around 830. Went for coffee, hit the gym. Was going to the private beach but security told la policia was going to shut it down, which they eventually did. Tmmw is supposed to be back to normal. Had a chica come over. Good service as usual. Went downtown early. Hit a new American owned bar. Mondo exotico. Nice guy and nice place. Got a little insight into the Cartagena expat experience.

Hit click tower bar. Always a good time and good drinks.

Was going to hit delirium for a few drinks. Heard they were serving dinner until 12. What? LOL. Came back to laguito.

Most bars closed at 10. LOL. Going to call it an early night. But overall a great trip!

Went back to centro around 11 to meet a friend for a drink.

It was crazy! Apparently everyone comes out late! Wild time! I hope vodka shots kill covid because at that point I wasn't safe at all! Lmao!

I ended up spending NYE at the club in the 2nd floor of Delirium. It was an awesome night, And Yes! Absolutely no safe distance. Met a group of Paisas that invited me to their table and we were all drinking aguardiente from each other's shot glasses. If I had not had a positive antibodies test result, I would have not come to Cartagena. LOL.

Will be in Cartagena on the fourth. There seems to be conflicting opinions as to the fun to be had with the ladies in Cartagena. From what I can tell, the place has slowed down but it is coming back. There are fewer ladies than before Covid but there are ladies and 9's and 10's if you look. Do I have it about right? Where would be a good place for my first drink? I'm buying.

Could someone provide the names of a few hourly motels near the tower. Looking for a nicer place if possible. Looking to have a couple of girls from online visit and do not think they can get in where I am staying.

Had an awesome time in Cartagena! The little private beach at the condo is nice! Stuck with the same two chicas all trip.

Met one at delirium, the other was a referral from Tony at the beach.

Even with a lot of chicas being home for the holidays there was a nice selection. Cartagena has plenty to see and do. Taxis are inexpensive. Laguito and Boca grande have plenty of places to eat and drink. So you can mix it up and not always go to centro. Only saw about half of the things I want to see. Can't wait to come back!

Plenty of other places to visit that haven't slowed down as much.

I just had to increase my upcoming continuous travel time because I can't rent a room in LA to sleep off the mental deritus from the over the pond trip, Thus, clear customs, head to dispensary, grab an In Out Burger, and return to airport to start another 5 hours in the air. Absent a 2 hour break for that, I am now up to 37 hours of traveling. Not counting the 6 hours on the road to the airport to begin with as the airport in my city is shut down.

Jab me. Put me on ice till the fall and then its time for fun again, I hope. Cartagena is a hell of a lot closer than Asia or Brazil.

I live in Medellin and have not been back to California in over a year but when I do fly into LAX I head directly from the airport to the closest In Out Burger located on Inglewood Ave and Manhattan Beach Blvd right off the 405.

Looking to have a couple of girls from online visit and do not think they can get in where I am staying.[/QUOTE]Sounds like you did not get your apartment situation sorted to where you have a guest friendly place to stay. If you get on the ground and discover that it is for sure that they misled you in emails about having visitors than please post the name of this place so other members do not have the same problem.

I have only used 'love motel / hotel' one time, it was my first trip to Cartagena over a decade ago, so I can't even remember where it was. I just had the chica pick it out. The chicas all know the love motels / hotels better than the mongers, you will not have any problems finding one, in fact I think I would walk around asking the chicas which is the best one.

Even if Cartagena is slower than prior to all this Covid crapola , it is still a paradise compared to almost anywhere else, Plaza de Los Coches (inside the wall by the clocktower after about 10pm), La Dolce Vita, Space, and I am hearing about this new spot called Delirium - you will have a good time. Its like this ; because you have never been there it will seem like paradise, for guys who have several trips it will seem slow but that does not matter to you, you will enjoy.

Since most guys try to find a chica friendly apartment I do not see many post about love hotels / motels but here us one from over a year about by Black Page, it is post #9368.

Hey,

Here are three important questions:

1. There have been recent trip reports, but skimpy on the grub detail. That's what we do. We Eat, Sleep, Drink and Play Hide the Sausage, but we are light on the the non pussy gobbling here guys, come on.

2. Do the chicas like old, jolly long bearded hippy types. Clean and generous.

3. Has anybody been to any cool historical sights. Particularly churches etc. There is more to mongering than just pounding away.

4. Do the chicas understand bad American Spanish IE mixtures of NY Puerto Rican and Arizona Sonoron on a 6 year old level.

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2518253]...

Yeah, for sure you can spend a full day just walking around the walled city looking in doorways -- it's like the set from a "Pirates of the Caribbean movie". The awesome huge 17th century Castillo de San Felipe is definitely worth it. 1st time I stopped in CTG was 1974, well before it was totally wrecked by tourism (the beach all the way down to Boca Grande was just single family beach houses), I visited the Palacio de la Inquiscion, which was just amazing.

Just saw that PCR tests will now be required within 96 hours of travel. This makes things difficult for those flying out on Mondays. Anyone heard anything about this?

I will be working from my laptop 40 hrs a week.

Looking to monger on my free time.

I was in MDE for a few days a couple years ago and loved it.

For next month, if I have 2. 5 weeks, should I do MDE the whole time or go to Cartagena for a long weekend?

Thanks.

3. Has anybody been to any cool historical sights. Particularly churches etc. There is more to mongering than just pounding away.

4. Do the chicas understand bad American Spanish IE mixtures of NY Puerto Rican and Arizona Sonoron on a 6 year old level.[/QUOTE]I am going to respond point by point because it is easier to follow at a glance.

1. No to be too smart aleck but more being to the point; this site is not Yelp or TripAdvisor and so no one logs on to get or supply information about eating here unless they what they are eating is pussy and the answer is Yes I Do! You want a chica to be more relaxed around you than you should too. Fact: What chicas like second only to money is for someone to lick their pussy. On a serious note you are telling on yourself for not reading back very far because I myself have posted tips on restaurants as have others but each has their own taste so I advise you to scour TripAdvisor for that info: my one tip that I always leave though is the Colombian chain Crepes and Waffles.

2. Chicas definitely love Generous and that's all that matters. I suggest sticking to market prices and giving generous tips only if the chica is extra generous in her service or affection. Many guys fail to understand the dynamics of prostitution and get caught up in the thinking that chicas will not like them because they are old and fat (I am old and fat so that's not a dis) . And some guys get on here claiming that they get better service etc because they are better looking etc (which I want to ask than why are you paying at all?) No the truth is it is a business, your plumber could give a damn if you are good looking, your accountant could give a damn, your grocer could give a damn, hooking is a job and if you are paying for service that's all that matters. Personality probably goes a longer way than looks as far as if they want to stick around longer or watch the clock. I am fat and old and could tell you stories if getting freebies from chicas I repeated several time over years, of how they want to stay at my apartment for days even after they got paid but I chalk this up to personality because I am no Tom Cruise.

3. Cartagena is an historical sight to see, the Old City where the clock tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neighborhood across from the old city and to the East is Getsemani and Forbes magazine called it one of the ten coolest neighborhoods in the world. I read that the wall that surrounds the Old City would cost over a trillion dollars to build today; 3 times Colombia's current GDP. The most historic church is Iglesia de San Pedro Claver / Santuario de San Pedro Claver that also houses a small museum and was once sanctified by Pope John Paul II because of it's historical significance. San Pedro Claver went down in history as the first in the 'new world' clergy to minister to African American Slaves so you can investigate that if you are interested. Even in the United States there are organizations named for Pedro Claver. That is not the main church though, that would be Catedral de Santa Catalina de Alejandra AKA Cartagena Cathedral. IMHO none of these churches quite reaches that architectural grandeur of those seen in Europe or even the major cities in the USA but the churches in Cartagena are old and have that colonial look. Many Colombians travel from all over Colombia to be married in a church in Cartagena and the Santo Domingo Church on Plaza Santo Domingo (great place to sit and people watch) is popular for that, Cartagena Cathedral poses for a great photo at night when her dome is lit up. John Clayton mentioned already the Castillo de San Felipe and Palacio de la Inquiscion. There is also a gold museum that has displays of examples of the first gold artifacts that drew the attention of the conquistadors and a Naval museum that tells of the time 400 Cartagena colonials beat a force of 27,000 British who were partially led by George Washington's brother.

It depends on your own interests in to what parts and aspects of Cartagena would have an appeal to you. If it is architecture that you like than walk the streets of the Old City and walk the wall especial where it bounds the ocean. If it is also history that interest you than of course there are the museums mentioned. If you are into art than you cannot miss a walk through of maze of streets in Getsemani where the walls are covered with some of the best street art in the world. And do not forget to check out the Fernando Botero statue of a reclining plump lady in Plaza Domingo that always has a tourist standing next to it posing for a photo. If you are into literature than you should know that Cartagena was for years the home of the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Gabriel Garca Mrquez, one of his books was made into a movie with Javier Bardem called Love In The Time of Cholera and much it was filmed in Cartagena. If interested in Gabriel Garca Mrquez read the article in NYT below.

4. Most chicas in Cartagena and I mean the vast majority only speak and understand Spanish. At least for you since you have had some Spanish and understand the pronunciation of the vowels and such, when you use Google Translator you will not trip over the words.

I am in Cartagena. Bought some basic supplies. My apartment is smaller than I imagined but it will serve. Will probably be using love motels unless I find one I want to stay with a few days. Going to find an ATM and look at the clock tower, find delirium and the other bar before I come back tonight. Fuck it is hot. Had a couple of guys approach me about pussy already but was on a mission to get some water. Thank you guys for all your advice and I will let you know how it goes. Tempted to use one of the girls from online, beautiful and wild.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2518614]I am going to respond point by point because it is easier to follow at a glance.

1. No to be too smart aleck but more being to the point; this site is not Yelp or TripAdvisor and so no one logs on to get or supply information about eating here unless they what they are eating is pussy and the answer is Yes I Do! You want a chica to be more relaxed around you than you should too. Fact: What chicas like second only to money is for someone to lick their pussy. On a serious note you are telling on yourself for not reading back very far because I myself have posted tips on restaurants as have others but each has their own taste so I advise you to scour TripAdvisor for that info: my one tip that I always leave though is the Colombian chain Crepes and Waffles.

2. Chicas definitely love Generous and that's all that matters. I suggest sticking to market prices and giving generous tips only if the chica is extra generous in her service or affection. Many guys fail to understand the dynamics of prostitution and get caught up in the thinking that chicas will not like them because they are old and fat (I am old and fat so that's not a dis) . And some guys get on here claiming that they get better service etc because they are better looking etc (which I want to ask than why are you paying at all?) No the truth is it is a business, your plumber could give a damn if you are good looking, your accountant could give a damn, your grocer could give a damn, hooking is a job and if you are paying for service that's all that matters. Personality probably goes a longer way than looks as far as if they want to stick around longer or watch the clock. I am fat and old and could tell you stories if getting freebies from chicas I repeated several time over years, of how they want to stay at my apartment for days even after they got paid but I chalk this up to personality because I am no Tom Cruise.

3. Cartagena is an historical sight to see, the Old City where the clock tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neighborhood across from the old city and to the East is Getsemani and Forbes magazine called it one of the ten coolest neighborhoods in the world. I read that the wall that surrounds the Old City would cost over a trillion dollars to build today; 3 times Colombia's current GDP. The most historic church is Iglesia de San Pedro Claver / Santuario de San Pedro Claver that also houses a small museum and was once sanctified by Pope John Paul II because of it's historical significance. San Pedro Claver went down in history as the first in the 'new world' clergy to minister to African American Slaves so you can investigate that if you are interested. Even in the United States there are organizations named for Pedro Claver. That is not the main church though, that would be Catedral de Santa Catalina de Alejandra AKA Cartagena Cathedral. IMHO none of these churches quite reaches that architectural grandeur of those seen in Europe or even the major cities in the USA but the churches in Cartagena are old and have that colonial look. Many Colombians travel from all over Colombia to be married in a church in Cartagena and the Santo Domingo Church on Plaza Santo Domingo (great place to sit and people watch) is popular for that, Cartagena Cathedral poses for a great photo at night when her dome is lit up. John Clayton mentioned already the Castillo de San Felipe and Palacio de la Inquiscion. There is also a gold museum that has displays of examples of the first gold artifacts that drew the attention of the conquistadors and a Naval museum that tells of the time 400 Cartagena colonials beat a force of 27,000 British who were partially led by George Washington's brother.

It depends on your own interests in to what parts and aspects of Cartagena would have an appeal to you. If it is architecture that you like than walk the streets of the Old City and walk the wall especial where it bounds the ocean. If it is also history that interest you than of course there are the museums mentioned. If you are into art than you cannot miss a walk through of maze of streets in Getsemani where the walls are covered with some of the best street art in the world. And do not forget to check out the Fernando Botero statue of a reclining plump lady in Plaza Domingo that always has a tourist standing next to it posing for a photo. If you are into literature than you should know that Cartagena was for years the home of the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Gabriel Garca Mrquez, one of his books was made into a movie with Javier Bardem called Love In The Time of Cholera and much it was filmed in Cartagena. If interested in Gabriel Garca Mrquez read the article in NYT below.

The old Havana club was closed. I'm not sure if it's permanently closed.

Castillo San Felipe and the San Diego area are on my list for the next trip. Plenty to see and do in Cartagena.

Pretty much can't go wrong with the food. I ate pescado con mariscos or Cazuela de Mariscos every day. Around 40 k pesos. Big portions. Can't wait to go back.

I never use trip advisor. They don't allow discussions of hookers at the street food areas.

I am not sure what part of Asia you refer to but I was in total heaven with the food scene in Thailand, since my trip there I just get disgusted at the want -to-be places that try make Thai food here in the USA, they just lack those fresh ingredients and that good Thai fish sauce with the peppers.

[QUOTE=BrotherP;2517709]Had an awesome time in Cartagena! The little private beach at the condo is nice! Stuck with the same two chicas all trip.

Met one at delirium, the other was a referral from Tony at the beach.

Even with a lot of chicas being home for the holidays there was a nice selection. Cartagena has plenty to see and do. Taxis are inexpensive. Laguito and Boca grande have plenty of places to eat and drink. So you can mix it up and not always go to centro. Only saw about half of the things I want to see.

Prices are lower overall because of the differences in our economies and the exchange rate. The delivery fees are lower not just because of the previous mentioned reasons that prices are but also the delivery person is either on a bicycle or a scooter that is way cheaper to operate and cover the depreciation on than a car is. It may be tempting to use Uber Eats because it seems familiar brand wise but I would recommend Rappi everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. In Medellin I used them to order dinner for me and a chica sometimes especially some of the chicas that I know were coming straight from their day job to a cita with me, I want to then fed so they are ready stay for a while and not be in a hurry to go eat. I used them for breakfast everyday and it was like $5 for a complete breakfast with eggs, potatoes, arepas, cheese, sausage, coffee and OJ. You can't tip the equivalent of $2 us and that is good. All the restaurants are on Rappi too so it is like bringing the whole city (within reasonable delivery distance) to your fingertips instead of you having to search places out. I will post a photo of their delivery people below, their app logo is just the white mustache part with the red background.

I was in Cart last January. Found a chica I liked to stay with me for 3 days. Needed to use Rappi, yes its very handy, but after downloading it Rappi did not offer an option to use a phone number from the USA to register and order with. I triple checked and no USA option available so we had to use the chica's phone to order and of course I had to put my credit card number into her phone in the app. We used it several times and it is great. She left the day I flew out. When I got home I cancelled the card right away. A few days later she texts me asking if I will let her use my card to buy some ice cream. I told her I had to cancel the card because of fraud. We are still in touch. But anyway, has any American used Rappi on their US number? If so when?

Got out about 9:00 PM. Did the clock tower, Delirium and LaDulce Vida. Jesus there are a lot of girls. I waited too long, turned down some real babes and drank too much on the first night. Picked up an 8 on the way home. Went to a love motel. Not bad. Will use it again. I can use my place with no problem but I decided not to. I paid way too much, 300 k but she could certainly work it. Will not repeat. Got great plans for tomorrow. Sightseeing, napping, beach, and hitting the same circuit. This place is great. Pussy heaven. Good night gentlemen. Thanks for the tips.

I just purchased a new phone recently did not have Rappi on it so after reading your post I downloaded the app and this is what went down. I am going to try to upload images to demonstrate. The first menu drops down and asks me to choose what country I am using the app in. This is a group of nine South American countries and I choose Colombia. The next screen says create your account and gives me the option to use my phone number or other sign up means. If I click on other sign up means it will offer to let me use my Facebook account or WhatsApp. If I click on Phone number it starts off showing a place to fill in the phone number and it already has the Colombia country code showing, but if I click on the spot where the country code is showing up than if opens up a menu with the other country codes of the world and the USA and Israel are at the top of the list.

It would not be wise to punch in your actual physical card in someone else's account.

In cases like these I would generate a disposable card (one time use or with a limit) in a site called [URL]privacy.com[/URL].

Gave me the peace of mind needed.

Thanks Mojo I just did that download and I can see US option in there now. I'm almost positive it wasn't there when I was in Cart a year ago. I only had a couple of cervezas in me at the time. Anyway no harm done and we got our Rappi delivered. It works great and is a must have if you are shacking up with a chica for a few days or more.

So the chica splits and I leave for the airport an hour later and I'm in goo goo gaa gaa land after all the great sex. On the flight home I'm watching the movie Hustlers (its good) and the scene comes on where the bad girls have drugged this guy and are running up his credit card and I snap back to reality and realize that I have to cancel that card first thing when I get home which I did that night.

I was the only person in the pool area and I was doing nothing wrong, I was in the pool wading around by myself. First the maintenance guy came around and was straightening the chairs. Then the security guard came around and told me I must leave because I had not reserved the pool a day ahead of time. I said nothing in response that could be interpreted as hostile. They were just trying to make an issue with a gringo guest. He made it clear I was not welcomed and had done something terribly aggregious and intentional. Maybe another guest had made a problem at the pool, but not me.

No need to give me a hard time, undeserved. When he said in Spanish I "had to leave in an hour", I knew I was not welcomed at all. Promptly got my bag out of the room and checked out, handing him the key to the room at the front desk. As I handed him the key I said to him in Spanish, I am not coming back, your rules are stupid.

Unable to get ahold of Juan, WiFi was not working in that building anyway and he was out of town, had an assistant give me the key. When I got home I emailed Juan to try to get a refund for the last day and he said he was unable to mail me a check or money order for the refund, Juan blamed the situation on the Covid. Juan would have given me a refund on paypal but my account was not up to date and was not working, so he promised to give me credit next time I stayed with him, which may be a long, long time!

The security here is good. I have to unlock an iron gate and two doors to get into my apartment but I have never seen a guard on duty. The place is dark at night. I live on the third floor and never see anyone coming in. I could run a brothal out of here. The apartment is small and the water is cold but it is in the heart of the action. Next time here, I would be tempted to just get this place for pussy and stay somewhere that has hot water. Yes I am a pussy. Got a real winner out of La Dulce Vida. Beautiful and loved it in the rear. 300,000. Worth every peso.

I am not so sure you want to eat what the chicas eat in Colombia. I mean its okay to try and if you are really really hungry it will hit the spot but Colombian food is notoriously bland to us gringos. If you want to try it what you want to look for if you are looking for typical Colombian food is basically a sign that say its typical food but will say "typical dishes" in Spanish is "Platos Tipicos" this is mostly grilled meats and rice dishes with chicken, fried fish or whatever, coconut rice is a favorite. Bandeja Paisa is the national dish. I have eaten it just to try it out but not something I am in a hurry to eat again, though I imagine if one was really really hungry it would be very satisfying. I will post a photo below, the meat is grilled skirt steak and sausage, the beans are like red beans, the thing that looks like its notched and cut in section is bacon that is mostly fat, the bread is arepa which is similar to a cross between a corn tortilla and American corn bread (there used to be a walk up place on the main drag of Bocagrande that served stuffed arepas, ground meat and spices with cheese. Those arepas are good late at night when you have a drinking buzz on).

Cartagena has typical Colombian food but is also a Caribbean coastal city with a Colombian Coastal culture, know as Costenos, their cuisine is going to have more seafood mixed in.

Like anyplace there are regional differences in food. Colombia has 7 regions and each of these has a people from that region that refer to themselves according to their region with pride, Cartagena is in the Caribbean region where they call themselves Costenos, in the Andean mountains area that includes Medellin they call themselves Paisas, Pacific coast includes Buenaventura: Afro Colombians, Andean Valleys which includes Cali call themselves Calenos, the Eastern grasslands which is where the city of Yopal is they call themselves LLaneros, the people of the Andean Savannah region which includes Bogota are called Cachaco and / or Rolo.

You may not care about these things now but flying between cities in Colombia is inexpensive between some cities can be like $50 or less so maybe later you and / or other members reading this may want to explore more.

I like going between Cartagena and Medellin, I love both places. Cartagena for its historic architecture and being right on the sea and the central availability of gorgeous chicas of the night being so centrally located in the old city by the clock tower and the clubs.

Medellin probably has 100 times more chicas but not a place where hot chicas of the night gather, the system is different and in my case I have my list of chicas there already so I can get room service all day long. I just call them on WhatsApp and set up an appointment. In contrast to Cartagena's coastal Caribbean heat and high humidity the short flight to Medellin takes you to what may be the most consistently pleasant climate in the world. Medellin is known as the city of Eternal Spring, a goldilocks microclimate where its never too hot and never too cold its high 70's or low 80's Fahrenheit everyday all year round. There are also thriving neighborhoods with international cuisine styles to be found and areas like La 70 which is a strip with bars and restaurants that goes on for 3/4's of a mile. Then there is the legendary Lleras Park which is a city park surrounded by bars and restaurants that fan out from the park for blocks but the high concentration of people is right in the immediate vicinity of the park and it is thousands of people on a Saturday night and few hookers mixed in also.


I highly recommend having WhatsApp when you are on the ground in Colombia, the system is different there, here in the USA we enjoy the luxury of being able to call anyone with a different carrier without getting charged and we enjoy unlimited call time minutes and text messages but the business model is different in Colombia so they fall back on WhatsApp to avoid all this. I always get chicas numbers for instances when I may want to hook up with them during the day or just meet a chica I want to hook up with later,

Where's the supermarket and liquor store near the Clock tower? I'll be staying near to there and need to know if I have to catch a cab to the supermarket or is one nearby where I can get my waters, snacks and other things.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2519557]Apologies for not replying sooner but I wrote a reply yesterday but must have got distracted and then closed my browser before hitting post.

I am not so sure you want to eat what the chicas eat in Colombia. I mean its okay to try and if you are really really hungry it will hit the spot but Colombian food is notoriously bland to us gringos. If you want to try it what you want to look for if you are looking for typical Colombian food is basically a sign that say its typical food but will say "typical dishes" in Spanish is "Platos Tipicos" this is mostly grilled meats and rice dishes with chicken, fried fish or whatever, coconut rice is a favorite. Bandeja Paisa is the national dish. I have eaten it just to try it out but not something I am in a hurry to eat again, though I imagine if one was really really hungry it would be very satisfying. I will post a photo below, the meat is grilled skirt steak and sausage, the beans are like red beans, the thing that looks like its notched and cut in section is bacon that is mostly fat, the bread is arepa which is similar to a cross between a corn tortilla and American corn bread (there used to be a walk up place on the main drag of Bocagrande that served stuffed arepas, ground meat and spices with cheese. Those arepas are good late at night when you have a drinking buzz on)..[/QUOTE]Now ya see, that's why this Place should rename into The Experienced Travelers Corner. Far more informative than you would get on some shill blog or website, neh?

I'm glad they use WhatsApp, I was dreading another communication app, already having to drag around WeChat, Skype and Line. Is mobile data available?

I love the food you posted about. I'm pretty much Asianed out at this point in time and need a dose of Spanish. Give me some arrepas!

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2519072]I don't go to Thai places in the states, unless they are small town local refugee places.
Food I'm looking for in Cart would be the same the girls eat.[/QUOTE]Excellent mindset!

Just do not trust the gastronomical taste of the girls! Most girls are from lower strata, and they predilect junk food. Mojo Bandit has given you a thorough overview already. The Bandeja Paisa is supposedly a typical dish of Medellin and Antioquia (but it's debated, as purist find it an horrible addition from outside) and honestly you can forget it exists. Most girls will be delighted by "salshipapa", that is small sausages (the same of hotdogs) mixed with fries. Horrible and unhealthy.

About local food in Cartagena, my advice for you is the following (if you really plan to travel to Colombia in this world emergency):

1) The kiosks out of Plaza del Reloy (go out, cross the road, walk LEFT) to eat shrimp cocktail and a variety of other seafood served with the same sauce in disposable plastic cups. Sit down, eat your shrimps accompanied with fresh fruit juice (as European, I would like a glass of iced white wine, but here I suggest you go for tropical fruit) and watch people strolling. It's my snack of mid afternoon or mid day.

2) Try La Mulata, typical restaurant for local food. It's NOT a place for local poor people. It's a place for tourists, but it's excellent. Open only at day time. In Centro near an Olimpica. Find it with Google Maps.

3) At night, I prefer more classy places, which I have already recommended in other posts (Peruan, Fusion, Argentinian). Definitely I would not look for sushi.

I know that the more experienced hobbiest are familiar with the heyday of chica availability before the pandemic, and lament the decrease in women. I have traveled quite a bit through Mexico and Central America and have enjoyed the availability in all them, but I have never seen anything like the LDV-Clock Tower-Delirium triangle of pussy. I had to take last night off and recoup. Plenty of 8's and more than a few of 9's. Cartagena is the best I have ever seen. I will be back after the pandemic but not sure how it could be better. Still here for a few days. Looking forward to tonight.

Horrible and unhealthy? Non, Mon. Frere, TASTY and unhealthy! I'm going to Cartegena on vacation (hopefully this summer for two weeks), I can afford to pollute myself, I'm old and every day is my last one! Besides by the time I get to Cartagena, my body will be purged off all the tasty street crap I have been pounding down for the past two years. Street cheese hotdogs from the CP Cart on the corner of Funky Lane and Sok San Road in Siem Reap, the Nutella egg cream banana pancakes on every street corner in SE Asia, those deadly little coconut cakes, gristly beef on a stick, OMG grilled barbeque chicken bones by the railroad station at Keng Khoi Thailand, dried squid on a stick, grilled crocodile.

Please tell me someone has seen any local variety of what I call lechon. Platanos? Goat? Deep fried Chicken Feet. Middle class places or working class places?

I'm a little shocked that you think the girls have poor taste in food. My experience has been the opposite. Absent the occasional Ban Nok (hick farmer chick) you run into in Thailand, the girls know what the tasty stuff is even if they can't afford it. Ill never forget the time I took a hottie from Nonthanburi (a hickish suburb of Bangkok) to a place for "modern Thai cuisine" in Thong Lor. Thats like taking a Romanian village girl to some fancy cafe on the Rue de Honore. Her eyes bulged when she saw the prices, but she sure knew what to order. Nothing beats a $5 plate of Spicy Squiddicks. How would I ever know that spicy squiddicks were so good? Even though they are $1 in the seafood market in MahaChai.

Be that as it may, seeing some of the butts on the Colombian girls, I know they know where the belly busters are.

Now that being said, I like mine petite and slender. That's going to be a hunt I'm sure.

Hey and how do these girls rate in their oral skills?. Outside the BJ bars, Thai girls are meh. Cambodian girls don't like yamyam. Me no do, go to ladyboy.

I need a break from that. Not ladyboys, the refusals.

They all look in their 20's, early 30's seems rare. A lot of very good looking women. Because I am used to the high prices of America, I think I paid too much. 150 k, 250 k, and 300 k, in pesos. The top two were fucking very good looking. It seems they all have fake tits. Beautiful but a little firm for me. The asses are fantastic and the 300 k girl gave up the ass for another 150 k. I know I probably paid too much, but the most expensive one was only about a 100 dollars. Tonight is Friday and I am hitting it about 9:00 pm.

I do have a question. What about the El Paraiso Marino Club? Is it worth going? Still looking for that perfect one.

Well tonight I thought I would first venture out to a place called El Paraiso Marino Club. 25 k to get there. Cabby tried to stop at the Pley Club but just said no. The Paraiso is a dump, the girls, God bless 'them, are mediocre at best and a beer cost 8 dollars. A shot of good whiskey cost 256 dollars. This is a rip off place. They should just be honest and rob you at the door. I stayed for half a beer and left. I asked one cabby for a ride but he rushed inside to tell them I was leaving. Another cab dropped off a couple so I jumped in and he took me back to the Clock Tower. This was about 11:30 PM. The cops were just shutting down the plaza and the clubs. I was told they would reopen tomorrow but with a shorter schedule, 11 pm I think. Until tonight they stayed open until 1:00 am. I figure I am fucked so I start back to my apartment. A woman about 25 or so, I don't really care for any younger women, said Hello,. I am thinking what the hell she has a perfect body, how bad could her face be. She dropped her mask and she was beautiful. Built like a brick shit house and good looking to boot. She says 200 k for the hour. We go back to my apartment, never see a soul in the building. She gets naked and ask if I would like anal. Culo or something like that. My Spanish is passable but the finer points of sexual lingo escape me. 100 k for the anal. I must sound like an ass freak but this was the first trip I did that. More trouble than it is worth. Big dick, don't we all, in a very tight hole and only lotion for lubricant. Had a great time. We laughed a lot. BBBJ was great. Let her out of the building and sent her home in a cab. Best night yet. By the way there was a shit ton of women in the plaza and clubs. Well a lot to me, I estimated a 100 total in the plaza, the streets between there and the clubs, and in the clubs. That's the report gentlemen. Tomorrow I am moving to the Dann. Wanted to check out the beach babes. Wish I was staying where I am but another mistake on my part.

Any advice on the beach pussy would appreciated. I also really enjoyed the sunset at the Cafe del Mar yesterday. It's not all about pussy, well maybe almost all.

[/QUOTE]I know that well. I always do it (did it, now traveling is out of question) when I travel to a place where a local SIM is too expensive vs. the number of days I stay, and roaming is too expensive. In Colombia, I buy or recharge a Claro SIM, I put it in my 4 G Mobile Wifi router, and I have my personal wifi for laptop and phone with me, still retaining my original number on my phone in roaming (I want people do not see me with phone off for a long time).

There is one drawback though: with offline maps, Google Maps does not calculate walking and driving shortest paths to guide you. It just gives you the map and position (for those who don't know, GPS is free and available also if phone is offline in airplane mode).

Carthagena, due to street names added to streets named after numbers especially in the Old City, is one of the places where using Open Street Maps or other software in addition to Google Maps may be helpful.

The Dann is right on Playa Hollywood, you do not have to travel far you are there. There is an Afro-Colombian named Tony works Playa Hollywood. To some people he is just another annoying tout but to others he is like a concierge. If there is pussy on that beach Tony knows it, its how he makes a living. I usually advise people to stay away from Tony just to keep from giving him a cut because I am cheap bastard, but seeing as how things are not normal there right now maybe you can try him out just keep in mind that Tony make a cut off every service he provides. These videos will show you what he looks like. Apparently from this video, this guy uses him as a concierge.

Another cab dropped off a couple so I jumped in and he took me back to the Clock Tower. This was about 11:30 PM. The cops were just shutting down the plaza and the clubs. I was told they would reopen tomorrow but with a shorter schedule, 11 pm I think. Until tonight they stayed open until 1:00 am. I figure I am fucked so I start back to my apartment. A woman about 25 or so, I don't really care for any younger women, said Hello,. I am thinking what the hell she has a perfect body, how bad could her face be. She dropped her mask and she was beautiful. Built like a brick shit house and good looking to boot. She says 200 k for the hour. We go back to my apartment, never see a soul in the building. She gets naked and ask if I would like anal. Culo or something like that. My Spanish is passable but the finer points of sexual lingo escape me. 100 k for the anal. I must sound like an ass freak but this was the first trip I did that. More trouble than it is worth. Big dick, don't we all, in a very tight hole and only lotion for lubricant. Had a great time. We laughed a lot. BBBJ was great. Let her out of the building and sent her home in a cab. Best night yet. By the way there was a shit ton of women in the plaza and clubs. Well a lot to me, I estimated a 100 total in the plaza, the streets between there and the clubs, and in the clubs. That's the report gentlemen. Tomorrow I am moving to the Dann. Wanted to check out the beach babes. Wish I was staying where I am but another mistake on my part.

Any advice on the beach pussy would appreciated. I also really enjoyed the sunset at the Cafe del Mar yesterday. It's not all about pussy, well maybe almost all.[/QUOTE]

Hello World Travel 69! Had not seen any post from you in a while and hope you are doing well. I always want to take an opportunity to thank you for putting together the Map and the List, I recently reposted your map and list to the top of the Medellin Map and List thread and I just did the same thing in Cartagena List thread.

Anyone got contacts for a Trusted Cab or Uber that you always use when in Cartagena? I like to find one or 2 and keep them in my contacts when I need to get around. And I'm talking about people that are good peoples, that you can break bread with and chill kind of taxi driver.

[QUOTE=UnknownGuy;2520605]Anyone got contacts for a Trusted Cab or Uber that you always use when in Cartagena?[/QUOTE]My question would be: why would you need that? I never felt the need to have a personal trusted driver there. I take a cab when I need it, and it is 2-3 times a day from Laguito to Centro and back, and from / to airport. Only sometimes they tried to overcharge me. Just know what are the standard fares, and avoid taking the cabs right in front of a club.

I should point out that this photo was taken after a particularly bad downpour and there was huge pool of water in the street slowing down traffic and that caused all these taxis to get backed up a little but it still shows how many taxis are available

[QUOTE=SouthernOcean;2520012]Well tonight I thought I would first venture out to a place called El Paraiso Marino Club. 25 k to get there. Cabby tried to stop at the Pley Club but just said no.

Today there is also a curfew from 00:00 to 05:00, therefore everything will be closed from 23:30 hours, more or less. Tomorrow everything returns to normal, that is, until 01:00 am.

Beach: One of the best beaches in Cartagena is the island of Baru in the Playa Blanca sector, you can get there by land or by boat by land, it is usually cheaper but it is a trip of approximately an hour or an hour and a half, the beaches located in the Tourist area like Bocagrande or El Laguito are very crowded but they are not even close to the best beaches in Cartagena. Another very good option is the Rosario Islands or Punta Arena, they are beaches with much more crystalline and blue water.

Regarding sexual lingo, You can say 'Chiquito' if you are going to refer to the ass, or anal sex, it is the most common and most popular word in Colombia, and by the way you will surprise her because it is not very common for foreigners to know this particular term.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional help or guide, as a local guy my only wish is that all our visitors enjoy their stay in the city and of course the beauty of Colombian women.

Best regards.

Here's the thing about Cartagena. There's no shortage of taxis, islands, beaches, bars, and pussy. Covid has slowed things down substantially but you don't need a guide or a specific apartment or anything like that. Go down and explore. It is half the fun.

Where the guide may come in handy is if he can steer the Newbe to some of the better providers. I am talking price wise and service. Of course it all depends on the knowledge and honesty of the guide.

Bocagrande was packed Sunday. I think that people are escaping cities on lockdown and coming down to Cartagena because it's less restrictive. Touts are still in force but not as aggressive. I posted up in Oscar's area and enjoyed a day at the beach.

The Christmas lights are still up in the Clock Tower area and the policia was getting people out of the plaza just before midnight. Girls were out on surrounding streets. If you like arepas, check out ColombItalia on Carrera 9 a. Some of the best I have had. Chicas out in this area as well.

I treat every tourist leech the same, like a king, firm yet more than fair, because if you stay in one place long enough (as I am won't to do) they get to know you. And treat your right.

Which leads me to the essential question. Tipping yes or no.

Here in Siem Reap, for a short ride, its 25 cents, long helpful rides, $1. Waitresses 20% which is like 25 cents LOL. Thailand I round up.

I love when the folks here in Cambodia trade in bags of reil notes (500,12 cents) for US $20's and $50's.

I remember one chica who only advertised online, and as you guessed it she frequently got messages from touts on the beach. She claimed the chicas at night in the old city were mean. I got the feeling she just didn't want to be walking the streets selling her ass and preferred to screen via whatsapp.

In any case, do what you want with your $16. I'm just making it clear no tout has an exclusive line to the hottest chicas in Cartagena. Whether you go online or go to the venues to see them yourself, it's all right there.

So the US is going to implement this new requirement where you need a negative Covid test before you can board a plane to enter the US. It's stupid. But that's for another conversion.

Anybody know where are the test centers near El Centro? Do you allow gringos and how much they are charging for the test?

I was just informed by a chica in Cartagena that clinics may already be planning to increase the price of covid tests for Americans or they plan on giving the Americans positive test results and suggesting they pay hundreds of dollars to change the result to negative. They know that Americans will be desperate to have negative results to be able to get home. Now, I don't normally believe what chicas say but I see this is a very likely possibility. What can you do if all the test centers are charging hundreds for their test? Nothing, you have to pay it to get home. This new requirement will open the flood gates for scams. Just be careful. I'm making plans to have a negative test in my hands when I board and I ain't paying hundreds for it.

I recommend that you go to the medical center called Medihelp, it is located in Bocagrande Cra 6 a No. 5 - 101, it is known and has a good reputation, so I do not think that they lend themselves to scams with these covid tests.

Y'all better get used to it. No one is going anywhere without a test and or a vaccine or both and I bet its both. I considered moving my flight out and staying longer, but I don't see the requirement being lifted soon. Its the way of the new world. China won.

There is still a chance you can get Covid after the vaccine but if you do, the evidence shows it will be much milder.

As for why to get the vaccine, 269 people got Covid who got the placebo and not the real vaccine. That is where the 95% reduction came from. In addition, there were 30 critically ill people with Covid and all were in the placebo group.

I suspect in the future that you will not need a Covid test if you can prove you had the vaccine and do not have a fever, but there are not that many people who have gotten both of their injections yet.

No matter what you think about it, the rule is there. Complaints probably aren't going to change it. If I was on the ground in Colombia, or planning on an upcoming trip, I'd probably devote some time to figuring out where and when to get tested.

Colombian authorities detained three US citizens who intended to leave the country at the Rafael Andúñez de Cartagena de India's airport, for which they presented false negative coronavirus tests, official sources reported this Thursday.

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2521919]Have you considered forwarding this thread to the CDC? Maybe they will see how inconvenient it is and make some changes.

No matter what you think about it, the rule is there. Complaints probably aren't going to change it. If I was on the ground in Colombia, or planning on an upcoming trip, I'd probably devote some time to figuring out where and when to get tested.[/QUOTE]I don't have to do that because the airlines are going to do that for me. Given the rate of false positives which is already established and the number of people who are going to be stranded at airports in foreign countries calling their embassy. This will be simplified sooner rather than later......

None of this is required for travel within the United States..... it's a fact that the United States actually has more coronavirus than any country we could possibly travel to..... And we actually have all these new strains as well.

[QUOTE=OnFireBoy;2522161]Colombian authorities detained three US citizens who intended to leave the country at the Rafael Andez de Cartagena de India's airport, for which they presented false negative coronavirus tests, official sources reported this Thursday.

"When doing this verification process, it was discovered that the Americans "had not taken the tests, but that the tests, presented to Migracióand Colombia, belonged to other people, who would have taken them in October 2020. ".

I wanted to highlight this because I had read in an earlier post where someone claimed it was easy to turn in a fake test, but I am not sure if they were saying when leaving the USA or when leaving Colombia.

Because they are FLAILING. The authorities all around the World (whether they be health officials, governors, presidents, mayors, judges etc) don't really know what to do, but when you have 90% of hospital beds occupied, you have to try something. It's sort of human nature. If you throw enough shit against the wall, it's got to work.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2521864]Exactly how about some common sense we want to get everybody vaccinated so you're going to get vaccinated and still require all these tests to get on and off planes? For a disease that we now know is going to be endemic for a long time. ?

Something happened to arrived that caused the mandatory quarantine. 2 things can cause this: Not arriving with your PCR test results (probably didn't know of the date change for PCR test) or taking a test at the Colombian airport and it was positive. Because of the 14 day quarantine, they couldn't leave either unless they had a test saying they were negative. I guess the thing that made it suspicious was that they were trying to leave 6 days after arriving. No way you going to go from positive to negative in 6 days. Yeah that is suspicious, so they called the lab about the results and got caught. They endangered the lives of Colombians by coming in hot (if that's the case), staying and doing god knows what, then trying to roll out. Oh they going to be in some serious trouble. If they do the contact tracing and one of the people they came into contact gets really ill and dies. Shit they may be in Colombia for a long time.

USA Embassy said no PCR tests required until January 12. As you said rules are changed to January 7. There were two reason I did not go: hassle of getting PCR at the last minute and how much Covid is in Colombia.

If I did go, Colombia would have put me in quarantine, and as I have said before, Colombia does not play around with quarantine.

So you are in Cartagena stuck in a hotel room, you are supposed to get a PCR test done and I have no idea how long this takes. I am sure it is not as expensive as here, but you have to sit around on your ass waiting for the results. If you did not have to wait in some line for hours with a negative result to get out of quarantine, I would be shocked.

Maybe you try to get one and are frustrated and say fuck it, I am going to just buy a negative result and get the hell out of here.

To me, the problem is not how the lab sheet looks but why you did not show that you had a negative test when you came in right? I am not sure whether their fake test was in Spanish or in English.

As someone who almost got caught up in this trap with changing Covid 19 testing requirements, I have some sympathy for them, but I have told people it is stupid to go in with fake test results, and we have had people here say they have done so.

People think lab results like medical records are private, but they are kidding themselves. Any record held by a third party can be obtained by subpoena with a gag order without your knowledge and HIPAA allows for all kinds of government intrusion into your records.

If the lab was called and the lab personnel asked for consent to release the lab results and you refused, shit, the Colombian authorities would probably double whatever sentence they were planning on giving you.

If you have a fake test result, all it takes is one phone call to the lab and you are royally fucked.

I think these people may have had something on their passport or electronic visa that said that they have to quarantine. But because they wanted to leave before 14 days, they needed the negative test. I wish I could see their fake test to see how bad they tried to fake it.

So I may have to do the su until I can go to Colombia with no test. After that I don't plan to spend much time in the DR.

Because of Colombia's tax laws I don't think I'll retire there. But when I retire I'll definitely do 3 months a year there.

Maybe mix it up between Colombia Brazil and DR. We shall see. I have a few years yet.

The Touts are easy to get rid of. I guess it's because I'm Boca Chica battle tested.

Viral test means a viral detection test for current infection (I. E, a nucleic acid amplification test or a viral antigen test) approved or authorized by the relevant national authority for the detection of SARS-CoV-2.

Any chance they tell you how long is the wait?

The longer you're in this game the harder it is for you to choose". Words of wisdom from Olkool. I think that's This place definitely delivering it's share of chicas. However, nothing seems to capture my attention. I definitely like the overall scenery. I think these street chicas are just a little too seasoned for me. But I'm not giving up.

About two hours later we went to club Dilibri. I think I spelled that correctly. This place play American and Colombian hip-hop. A young crowd seen. The place was jampacked and after being in there I know that I'm going to need another COVID-19 test. After about 10 minutes inside the club my partner and I noticed besides us only about 10 more people had mask on. I guesstimate about 200 people in the club. That was jam packed for a Monday night.

Cartagena has a nice crowd and I can see why brother P like the vibe.

They had another club call Maria I think. It's open 24 hours however my iPhone was in the red so I cut the night short and went home. I could have easily pull something however I don't like jumping the gun.

The next day I called up a Chica I met on tinder prior to coming here. I read a lot of these girls flake and don't show up however this chica video me several times on WhatsApp. She said she was bisexual and asked me did I want a threesome. I pass however we agreed to 150 mil with A possible upgrade depending on performance. 24 yr old About 5'7 and 147 pounds. Her complexion reminded me more of a biracial woman.

I tried to give her to him prior but he was stuck on finding a Chica with a very big ass.

It was an excellent session and I will repeat with her. BBBJ and she aim to please. We agree later for me to have sex with her friend.

Smurf called up a naturally fat assed Chica he got a number from last night. Smurf like the club. He just stood in the back collecting names and numbers. I don't know how he's going to remember all of those chicas.

Smurf girl was a bust. She arrive the same time my chica did however she did not perform the same. Smurf said she would not give him a BBBJ so he gave her 100 mill to leave. I told him he should have negotiated upfront it would have save him time and money. Sometimes guys get caught up with negotiating a price; they forget to establish mandatory requirements. I knew his Chica was a bad choice because when she came in our room she immediately went to the refrigerator and open the bottle water without asking anyone.

Smurf called up a naturally fat assed Chica he got a number from last night. Smurf like the club. He just stood in the back collecting names and numbers. I don't know how he's going to remember all of those chicas.

Smurf girl was a bust. She arrive the same time my chica did however she did not perform the same. Smurf said she would not give him a BBBJ so he gave her 100 mill to leave. I told him he should have negotiated upfront it would have save him time and money. Sometimes guys get caught up with negotiating a price; they forget to establish mandatory requirements. I knew his Chica was a bad choice because when she came in our room she immediately went to the refrigerator and open the bottle water without asking anyone.[/QUOTE]He really should go over to playa Hollywood and see what Tony has. All the girls over there are wearing bathing suits. Tony's kind of a pain in the ass but he has a nice selection.

I booked a trip from the 19th to the 28th of February. I've already had one covid vaccination and I'm going to have another in a week. Of course I still use all social distancing and the rest but it does make me feel more comfortable traveling. Mostly be down by playa Hollywood. And if the Clock Tower there's one particular girl I'm looking for..... I found a very reasonably priced place with hot water in Laguito so it's a nice walk over to Juan Valdez in the morning... Between travel credits for canceled vacations last year and all the rest it's really quite reasonable.

[QUOTE=BrotherP;2523946]Tony is definitely a pain! But he knows whos in town. Definitely worth the hassle.[/QUOTE]Ok I will check him out.

I understand why Colombian chicas are obsessed with silicone. While they may be more Eurocentric facially attractive; their overall body features lack The natural physique so common among the Cuban and Dominican republic chicas. Many of these chica have obviously been under the knife. This is a problem for both me and my wing man however we try to make it work.

90% of these chicas start their price with 300 million pesos. I haven't met one that started under 300. However they have no problems negotiating down to 200 mil. That's almost double what I give in the DR. It's all good. If I really wanted to be cheaper I would have went to Medellin.

Later on that evening I met a tourist guide That solicited us for business. He show me a on a post board a popular African-Colombian community that was a popular place to visit among tourists. All the older women of darker complexion Dressed in traditional African Colombian clothes we're from the area. Looking at the photos I fell in love with the place. Take us to this area right now! Wait a minute do they have nightclubs there? Are there any bars and places to hang out like the clock tower? He reply no. We pass- all that touristy shit is overrated for us.

I keep telling these guys you cannot introduce me to a chica because you don't know my style. He asked me to give him a chance showing us around. I explain to him in Spanish and English my wing man Smurf wants to see (una chica negra con culo grande). Black chica with a fat ass. Actually Smurf was getting under my skin. He kept reminding me every 30 minutes what he wanted. We agreed on 100 mill and he called us a taxi.

We traveled outside of the wall and went to at least three places. Every time we got out I was disappointed. However Smurf was more disappointed. Trying to take us to these casas with 2 or 4 chicas inside is like trying to sell me a seashell on the beach. We are not interested. What a freaking waste of time. I'm just glad the trip only cost us about $15 apiece. That was worth going on the outside of the wall and getting a feel for the area.

Later on that night we went back to club delirium. Smurf and I found something to take back to the room. I look at both of our catches and thought they are so far from the average chicas the average Americans would consider. Smurf found a 5'5 195 lb caramel complected thick chica with a fat ass.

I settled with a brown skin complected chica that reminded me Facially of an African lady I use to have sex with. About 13 years ago. This chica gave me 100% GFE. She literally tried to fuck my brains out. She squirted all over my bed so I had to sleep on the couch. Definitely the starting player of my new lineup in this country. I gave her 220 mill and a dress which she loved.

Great reports. Any non fat assed girls around?

[QUOTE=UnknownGuy;2523366]Thanks for checking! An antigen test is fine. Per the CDC order, it just has to be a viral test. Here is their definition of a viral test.

Viral test means a viral detection test for current infection (I. E, a nucleic acid amplification test or a viral antigen test) approved or authorized by the relevant national authority for the detection of SARS-CoV-2.

Any chance they tell you how long is the wait?[/QUOTE]Of course, here is the completed info, We perform a nasopharyngeal swab antigen test for the diagnosis of current covid-19 infection. Cost $ 150,000.

Results in an hour. (It is only done by appointment and in person at the Bocagrande headquarters).

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2524039]Great reports. Any non fat assed girls around?[/QUOTE]Yes there are tiny hineys here. That's one of my friends MO. So I have an eye out for them to report back to him. He almost came on the strip. He would be cleaning up because they are not in high demand.

One thing I love about these girls I've noticed so far is They don't persistently call you. If you communicating with them through WhatsApp up and they contact you they will wait for your response. I am so used to the DR women constantly and rudely continuously calling trying to get my attention. These chicas have a much better attitude and communicate quicker overall.

Last night we went to the clock tower about 9:00. As we get closer to the weekend there are more and more chicas available for business. I will say 85% of them have enhancements to their bodies.

I really should give a few of these blanca chicas a chance. So many have pinched my butt, grab my ass, And introduce themselves to me. They don't seem to have the am so pretty I know you going to pick me attitude that you find in the Sue. I've been told that I look mean and unapproachable by at least three chicas. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to be more complementary and Sociable.

I was teasing a tout for information. I told him I want to find a place with the women are more Caramell to chocolate. I went in my phone and started showing him examples photos of Chicas I've had in the past. He said you're not going to find chocolate like this unless I go to a particular area. However, he told me those chicas were in high demand and the bidding starts off at 500 mil. He told me I was better off staying in this area where the Blanca chicas or asking less peso.

After about 30 minutes at the clock tower watching chicas flirt to no avail and watching Smurf get about eight numbers from chicas I was ready to call the chica from yesterday. Some of these chicas remind me of guys in the hood that buy big rims for their little cars. The rims just don't seem to go with the car's body. Many of these Chicas asses are just too big for their body.

I finally see a chica up my alley. She was posted against the wall near the clock tower and wouldn't walk around like the rest of the Chica. Caramell complected, solid body, nice big Titties. I was trying to see if those breasts were real. She reminded me of a Haitian fresh on the block in Sosua. Facially she couldn't compete with the other chicas. Physically she had the body that they would and have paid to possess.

She said she was from an area five hours away. She was there with her chubby cousin. Even Smurf turn down an opportunity to meet her chubby cousin. Big chicas are his preference. She was 20 years old and when I ask her how much she told me 70. Huh 70? Did she mean dollars? At first I thought she meant 700 million. But no she was asking 70,000 mil. Damn she must be new on the block. Hey Smurf I'm out.

This chica did not drink or smoke. She didn't have any kids and seeing very happy I chose her. I stopped to the store and asked her did she want anything and she was good. Not a soda, beer, or snack. I even offered to buy her something to eat if she was hungry.

We took a shower together and she did her thing. Believe it or not I got her to squirt. My sheets were Hand washed and dried during the day from the chica last night. Damn here I am again! Guess I'll be sleeping on the couch again tonight. The maid comes in the morning. Her performance was on par with my starting player from last night. I gave her a nice dress and 140 pesos. You should have saw the look on her face. I honestly felt guilty given her 70 mill pesos.

Interesting! It was a long time since I was in Cartagena, the curves and the enhancements of the girls impressed me. As a fan of oversized curves: big silicone boobs and ass, Is Cartagena still the place to go? To me it was better than Bogota but that was 7 years ago. I am also looking at going to Medellin, it would be interesting to get your opinions on what city has most highly enhanced girls?

Coming for a few days in 2 weeks and what to know the best clubs to have fun. I am used to great clubs in Sao Paolo with rooms in the club. I want the best quality but know it will cost more. Also are the hotels OK having visitors with COVID as if I find a good one would want to bring to the hotel during the day. Staying at the Hyatt.

[QUOTE=UnknownGuy;2524254]You may need to check out Barranquilla and Santa Marta. I here there are more Afro-Colombian chicas there. I have never been there though.[/QUOTE]I would venture to say that of all the places with solid information and reports on mongering that Cali probably has more Afro-Colombians than the Caribbean cities of the Costenos = now of course the Caribbean cities like Barranquilla, Santa Marta, and Cartagena too have a greater percentage than say Medellin for sure the greatest concentration of Afro Colombians is on the West Coast. The city with any significant population with the most Afro Colombians is going to be Buenaventura. There is not any good intel that I have seen on the mongering scene there though, with a population of 400 thousand I am sure there are probably hookers there. At one time it was a very dangerous place too which would have deterred tourism, at one time it had a murder rate 10 times as high as Chicago. That has supposedly improved and it is much safer now. It is a significant port city so I a guessing that there must be a hooker market of some type.

In the Caribbean cities of Cartagena, Santa Marta, Barranquilla etc the people call themselves Costenos (pronounced Coast-tee-nyos) In Medellin they are called Paisas, in Cali they are called Caleos but Cali is in the same department (state) as Buenaventura which is in the region just slightly north of Cali and that region the people are simply called Afro-Colombian.

I didn't think about venturing to other spots that seemed more Afro Colombian. I did had the idea however Mr. E explained it like this. Going to Cali looking for hookers like in Medellin Colombia is like going to Atlanta looking for slot machines like in Las Vegas. So I chose the areas where there are many reportings of mongering taking place.

You taught me that in your developmental classes you gave me. For Pete's sake the average girl bidding started at 300 mill. Smurf has some chicas that ask for 600 mill. Many chicas negotiated down to 200.200 mil is the norm and the average here. That chica outperformed the other chicas, didn't ask for food, drinks, or snacks when I offered. I paid her below average which still is double of what she asked. I don't see me ruining the market from that Homie.

I remember Mr. Gogo had a Venezuelan. He had been trying to get her for a few days. He finally got with her and when they finish he gave her 1500 pesos. That was an average payment. He said how she gave him one of the best performances he had that year. She didn't ask for money, but she was expecting it. Her Amigas were in Punta Cana getting 4000 plus. I teased him about giving her an average payment for an over average performance. The next time they met she opened her mouth and asked for more and he gave it.

My Point is once I understand what's the average I respect the game. The average here is getting 200 mill. This chica ask for 70 mill. She's all natural 20 year old with no children. She did an encore from the chica last night whom I gave 200 mill is repeatable.

Given her double of what she was asking for was still less than average. I got to respect the game. I checked out the prices before I got here. If I want it cheaper I could've went to Medellin.

You doing all that criticizing you should have been showing me the ropes but you decided to go to Lima. You just get ready to show me Brazil and then I may check out Asia with you.

200,000 is the base rate.

Myself and my good Colombian buddies and a few of my close trusted gringo friends here in Medellin regularly get off the charts amazing sex GFE for 1 to 3 hours with a 7 to 9 paisa or Venezuelan for 100 to 130 mil.

And not not all are centro putas rather just friends of friends in the barrios, some are so real and sweet that you want to give a propina in addition to the agreed upon 100 mil but don't as you just fuck it up for others.

The weekend warriors who come into Colombia and hit either the Clock Tower in Cartagena or Park LLeras clubs and street girls in Medellin and throw money at them like their a rap star is the reason are much different than the expats who are here and provide some stability in price points.

My friends, some of which who smash 2 or 3 a day here in Medellin, and never come on these boards and talk about any of it. I am talking 2 a day every day of every week of every month of, you get the idea.

I am a point in my life where I am satisfied with the 5 chicas I had this past week, the is good for my style and thirst, 4 were new and one was a favorite from a few years ago. I have about a dozen who have been on me for the past 2 weeks to give them some attention. And most importantly is that they all know that I pay 100 to 130 mil MAX for a few hours plus taxi. I could have easily pulled the trigger and had about 4 others during this average week but decided to use that energy and time and spend it in my hobby.

We all have or I should say we all should have a hobby or passion to do other things aside from or in addition to this hobby of P4 P and so my new years resolution is to round out my life with just a bit more balance and in the past 3 weeks I put this resolution into play and I already am in a much better place in both my mind and my body.

Lets keep it real out there guys.

There are others on this board for more qualified to answer that question. Medellin is a bigger city with twice the population. The surgery is obviously inexpensive to women who want to look better throughout the country. I would confidently say Medellin. However for it's simplicity Cartagena is a good choice for our hobby. The city is less restrictive and you can find a large amount of opportunity in a small area.

IMHO Since it's a competition thing Amongst the Chicas, and these chicas overall don't have the desired Cubana and Dominicana physique; Enhancements are Normalized for the chicas I am seeing at the tower.

What exactly do you pay for a beach chair up in Medellin? Want to go out and go scuba diving what are they charge in Medellin? How much to go for swim in the ocean?

When I was in Cartagena I stayed in a shitty apartment that did not overlook anything. I left there and moved to a bare bones hotel for $80 that did not overlook anything either.

[QUOTE=GrownMan1;2524567]On several occasions I have been socially conversing with locals constantly reiterating how expensive the area is for people to live in comparison to other areas in the country.[/QUOTE]That is why after the first time, I have only been to Cartagena for day trips from Barranquilla to go to Playa Blanca. I don't hang around in poorer countries to pay richer country prices. The island of San Andres is even cheaper than Cartagena. I found that to be a shocker.

The next day we went to Tierra Bomba Island. It seems like every Tout name is Tony. The beach was nothing to write home about. Got a massage oh and something to eat.

Call later on that night met a Chica outside the clock towel. We agreed 150 million and a tip if she's good. We got in the room and she started spitting on my Johnson like she was trying to give me a HJ. Yes licked my balls but that was it a BJ. When we finish I politely gave her 150 mil. And then I gave her 10 mill for the cab.

She played top model in the dress I picked out however she left empty handed. I thought you said I could have the dress she asked. I thought we agreed you were going to give me chupa. I replied back. She was nice but she tried to be slick no repeats.

[QUOTE=GrownMan1;2524330]That is some insightful information. I didn't think about venturing to other spots that seemed more Afro Colombian. I did had the idea however Mr. E explained it like this. Going to Cali looking for hookers like in Medellin Colombia is like going to Atlanta looking for slot machines like in Las Vegas. So I chose the areas where there are many reportings of mongering taking place.[/QUOTE]Actually Cali has a very good scene. While not as many gringos visit Cali as do Medellin, there's no lack of available pussy. And yes, more Afro-Colombian influence, but to find substantially more, you want to hit the Pacific Coast. Buenaventura, and if you're really adventurous, Choco.

[/QUOTE]You can get a nice girl friendly apartment, nice furniture, flat screen TVs, overlooking the beach, for $80 USD a day. Seriously. Less during off season. They exist and they are clean (as in no roaches with nice lobby and reception).

It wasn't luxurious but it was clean and nicely appointed. No regrets.

I also thought that the only really expensive part of my stay was the price of pussy. Much more expensive than Bogota, but why would it be cheaper? Cartagena is a world-class destination with plenty of tourists from all over the world.

Well it finally happened. After six years being in the Dominican republic seeing my share of Venezuelans Hi finally had sex with one. I always said if I had one it will probably be in Colombia. The ones in the DR are overrated and overpriced. In the DR the Venezuelans use their nationality as an excuse to overprice you.
In Colombia being Venezuelan nationality means to charge you less. I was quoted 150 mill for all night. She was young and slim with small breasts. About 5'6 120 pounds with small breast. We were in the company of three very handsome young Americans. They were I candy to the chicas as much as a Chicas where I candy to us. While her friends were concentrating on soliciting the young guys; she just walked up to me and asked me for my WhatsApp number.

Bold and confident. Her actions let me know out of her group she was the one I thought would give me the best performance. Through our conversing I found out she was from Venezuela.

She came to the room and we put one in the air. She was so happy when she found out she was going to be my first Venezuelan. After an excellent BBBJ. She gave me a good performance and did everything I asked of her. 160 mill Was her exit fee. I only kept her for the session. I don't like letting strangers spend the night with me. Besides, this is our last night I might want to get another session in.

It's Friday night and we hit the clock tower about 1015. The club closes at about 1130 tonight. Normally the club closes at about 1030. I seen the 70 mill peso chica standing on the wall with her Chubby cousin. They look like they don't have a chance in hell against the other Chicas.

They just stood on the wall observing all the action. I was wondering why won't they walk around like the rest of the Chicas? I guess they know their position. I thought about jackals waiting for the hyenas to finish eating to maybe get lucky.

I'the say there are some beautiful chicas here. Columbia as I remembered has a noticeable different variety of other nationalities mixed in its population. Looking around the area at about 11 pm there's about 75 chicas of all different types. Except deep chocolate.

I saw the chica I wanted that was perfect for me considering what was available, however Smurf still needed me to hold his hand. He likes sitting in the back of the club calling on big ass chicas. My Chica didn't have a cell phone so she gave me her Amiga's number. 30 minutes later I'm looking for her but only her Amiga is responding trying to solicit me to take her instead. She even sent me a photo of her kitty cat.

If silicone implants or not a problem for you I think the average person she love this place. Many of these women surgery went very well. They have truly made themselves attractive. They have that mature grown woman shape!

If most of my friends were here they would tell me stop telling me about fake titties and ass, beauty is an allusion anyway. You're spoiling it for us. So I apologize to those who are tired of reading me talk about it. But it could be a dealbreaker for me and it was so many times. Smurf felt the same way. He like them big anyway and he didn't want a six pack with his phat asses.

Can you believe we went home empty-handed. They were venders, chicas and others still out standing around and cabs everywhere. Some people we're going to the after party, a place where one of my tout were trying to solicit us to go for the last three days. I noticed one cab driver act like he didn't want to take us back. We got in another cab headed back to our room and got stopped by the police.

I'm wondering why the hell did they pull over us cabs? First they talk to the cabdriver. They came to the car and told us to get out. Is this a shake down?

I asked to cop why did he pull us over and he said there's a curfew. I looked at my clock and it was 12:10 am.

I've had girls leave my room later than this in a taxi. We are in transit to our room but he's right there is a 12 o'clock curfew and my partner and I never paid attention to the time. We just left at lease hundreds of people at the clock tower and he stopping us in a cab because it's after 12.

I told him I'm also in law-enforcement. Smurfs back me up pointing at me saying yes he's a police. We both knew that was years ago, I have changed my profession. He then asked for my credentials. I reached in my pocket and gave him my license to carry weapons ID card. He started turning it from right to left, The color transition start illuminating with his light. I told him that was for my gun.

He said since I'm a police officer he's going to give me a break he was about to give us a citation. I told him no and demanded either he give me a citation or take a photo with me in Spanish. We all laugh when I told them It was a joke.

Smurf saw me sticking my chest out in front of them demanding a ticket he didn't know what the fuck was going on. After he witness all of us laughing he was lost. He was so scared he couldn't hold the camera to take the picture.

[/QUOTE]I have been stopped by the police while riding in a taxi. This was around 8-9 years ago, This was before the peace treaty with the leftist rebels and there was some kind of high level meeting going on so there were actually military and police check points all over the city but every other time they saw I was a gringo and just waved me through. This night I had just pulled a chica from the clock tower area and she and I had jumped into a cab to head back to my apartment in El Laguito. Just as we were leaving the old city area and pulling on to the road that parallels the ocean the cops waved our taxi over roadblock style. I had to get out and be searched but the chica was never asked for even her ID. The chica told me they were looking to see if I was carrying drugs. I have not messed with drugs in years and would not in Colombia anyway, I know some do and to each his own but I would not want that hassle. That was the only time that happen to me.

Reason was because over 60 Venezuelans were caught partying after curfew so now the law applies to all foreigners. But good thinking. Also they are pulling people over doing drug checks. Had it happen to me last year going from the clock tower to El Laguito. Me and my boy got checked and the girls got checked.

Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for all the details too. I'll be there in a week so all your info will come in handy.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2524337]What is he doing with all these numbers?

There you go fucking up the prices. DR dudes always going around ruining shit for everybody else! See you thinking in dollars again. I remember when the exchange rate was 1600. That 140 would have been $87, instead of the $40 that it is today. You stay away from Santa Fe where the prices are 35,000 and 40,000.[/QUOTE]Boy you are going to hate me. I don't really have the energy to negotiate. 200,300, 400 all same same, on the other hand.

Mr. E, I know you know this scene. Picture me in the Thermae, its packed and there is the ultimate hottie. But a farang hater. This supermodel type (at least with her clothes on) won't even look at me as I shuffle around the bar clockwise making the girls giggle as I mess with the Chinese guys walking the wrong way (the girls loved hearing me call the dudes stpid buffalo (kwai) and disgusting lizard (hia)). After my third trip, I stand right in front of her and fan out B5000 ($130). The going rate for Asian punters is B3-5000. She ignores me. I then walk around again, stand right in front of here and fan out B10000 ($330). Her girlfriends start chattering, and she finally looks at me and gives me a big smile.

And I stuff the wad in my pocket, chug my soda, and head over to Mixx where I buy a Russian. Actually an Uzbeki, but she speaks Russian so its all good.

The moral of the story is, at least for me, if I make you an offer, take it. If not, there are more of you.

And damn after our time we headed out on the street and met up with my Colombian buddy who fucks 2 or 3 and even 4 of these every day and damn if he was not with her Vennie girlfriends (some lesbian and some bi and others straight should that matter, NOPE!) and today he has 3 dates set up with these new Vennies, yes pounds them and reports back to me and then I smash them and we discuss specifics and opines afterwards, hehehehe gawd we are lucky guys.

Just in the past week out of 8 chicas I have had 5 were Vennies and all were new fucks no repeats but out of the 5 Vennies 3 I will repeat.

Good report and have fun in Cartagena.

Much love and respect to all.

It never fails when I am showing a guy around somewhere and he wants to jump the gun before I am finish showing him. Or I tell someone a list of musts and they get sidetracked to something else and never get to the must do thing. I try to teach people to take care of business first then go have fun. Once my brother put a deposit down on some stuff in Thailand but never went to pick it up because he could not pull himself away from the women for 30 minutes.

Hi all,

The wonderful Cartagena, I stayed one week, but went hunting only two days. Clock tower square had lots of girls to choose from. You could find skinny ones, old ones, young ones. I decided to go with one who was cool to talk to, her name is Yuri. There are lots of Venezuelan chicks here. At the beginning she wanted to charge the usual price of 400 Pesos / nigh (About 100 USD), but I got it to 300. The previous day I got a skinny gorgeous one going for 200 Pesos / night, but I wasn't in the mood. We went to a club called Delirium for dancing. The club was packed! With women, all the types, sizes, races and ages possible. No mouth-mask, just nice dancing as in pre-covid time. Then we went to my hotel. I was staying in Celina, close to the fair building. Lots of hotels (Supposedly because of COVID) will not allow girls in there, but I went in so late (12) that the door guard didn't mind. We have very good sex. She was a stunning black women, long threaded hair, had boob job, ass job. For me, she was like a 8/10. She did a very good hand-job, sucked my dick without condom and let me fuck her deep. She came two times, I came one. We ate and continue with the second round. At some point the condom snapped inside and she notice it (I didn't feel it). She was in her mid 30's, but her pussy was tight (Or she make it tight).

Next night I took another chick I meet at Bazurto (Local market). I speak Spanish, so I wouldn't recommend picking up girls from there who don't speak. This one was 30 years old, small skinny black girl, short curly hair, small natural tits, big nipples, tight ass. I would rate her a 6/10, but it was going for 50 Pesos, a bargain. We went to a local motel per hour, so no problem to enter. I banged her straight as we were drinking for hours before. This pussy was so wide, I didn't feel nothing. She allowed me to remove the condom but even then it was not good.

I have to come back. Soo many gorgeous girl.

We get back to the room; Smurf a little shell shock from our close encounter with the police. In our area there are a few people walking around just like at the clock tower. It's that sense of vibe after curfew that made us not pay attention to the time.

We both had options of using the WhatsApp contacts we had. It was Smurf that suggested we call The 70 million peso Chica and her chubby Amiga. He too was sympathetic and thought they didn't have a snowballs chance in hell when compared to the other chicas. He started talking about how thick her thighs looked. Smurf then looked at me and said, "you must think I'm crazy don't you". I had to tell him, I've been in this game long enough to know everybody has their style. The purpose of this Game is to get what you want to be in your bedroom and enjoy the experience.

It took them 15 minutes to arrive at our hotel room.

I was kind of happy I was able to give them some business. I said to myself what are the odds of both of these girls getting business together with two friend on the same day at the same time.

The little chubby friend had a nice personality. She also had her hair tied in a ball. Smurf immediately requested that she let her hair down. She had beautiful long wavy silky black hair that ran down her pass the middle of her back. She love Smurf reaction to her display of letting her hair loose.

My chica was worthy of a repeat so that was the reason she was there. Smurfs said The chubby chica tried her best to please him. Her BBBJ was well performed. In the end he asked her how much and she didn't know how to respond. He gave her 1 million and before he can give her some more change she started thanking him. So you can imagine how she felt when he gave her another 50 mill.

Smurf was good the next day. I however, I had to have one for the road. So I called back up my first chica.

Thank you Cartagena you gave me to switch up I need it and ask for. Hopefully I'll see you again soon.

Arriving Cartagena on February 4 for a week for some good times. I've been there once before so pretty familiar with the area and the chica game. If anyone wants to grab a beer and hang out hit me up!

Thanks for all the reports, I hope your stay in the city has been pleasant, just a correction regarding the values in pesos, it's not 70 million pesos, it is just 70 MIL (one thousand) pesos.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2521864]Exactly how about some common sense we want to get everybody vaccinated so you're going to get vaccinated and still require all these tests to get on and off planes? For a disease that we now know is going to be endemic for a long time. ?

I am with you on this.[/QUOTE]As I understand matters, the problem is that vaccination should make you immune from the disease in the short term, but it will not stop you breathing in the virus, and later breathing it out on someone else. Apparently, the virus stays live within the person for up to a month or so. If you are immune through the vax, and then move to another country, even though you are asymptomatic, you are capable of spreading it.

The anti-vaxxers will only add to the problem in delaying eradication of this. I was chatting online with a girl in Phils and she tells me that there have already been many deaths related to Vax in PI. I googled it, [URL]https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/29/philippines-covid-vaccination-policy[/URL] and as of last Friday, there hadn't been any vax delivered to PI. It seems that there was a previous vax scare in PI related to Dengue and this has been conflated with the current problem.

I can't say that I blame them for not trusting their gov. The Dengue Vax is sourced from the same biz that provides the Sinovax, and it appears to have reached the same stage of approval (incomplete) as the Dengue Vax. I see also from the news report, that PI have ordered smaller quantities of the Pfizer jab. My guess is that being PI, the rich will get Pfizer, and the rest will get Sinovax.

[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2521743]There is currently no evidence to suggest being vaccinated does not prevent you from being a carrier.[/QUOTE]What you say makes perfect sense. In most cases, the vax gives you immunity, but all that means is that the virus can still be inhaled and exhaled by you with immunity. But people who breathe in your exhaled air can be infected by you. In other words you become a carrier, and as you are asymptomatic, nobody will have a clue that you are a carrier.

Extract: Do I have to keep social distancing?

"The answer is distinctly yes," Schaffner said.

There are a few reasons for this. First, since the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are roughly 95% effective, there's a 5% gap -- meaning there's a small chance you could still become infected. Second, clinical trials were set up to determine whether the vaccines could prevent serious disease and death. They weren't designed to study whether vaccinated people could contract the virus and remain asymptomatic while spreading to others.

[QUOTE=Nyezhov;2521404]Shit for $15 he can do all the work.

I treat every tourist leech the same, like a king, firm yet more than fair, because if you stay in one place long enough (as I am won't to do) they get to know you. And treat your right.

Which leads me to the essential question. Tipping yes or no.

Here in Siem Reap, for a short ride, its 25 cents, long helpful rides, $1. Waitresses 20% which is like 25 cents LOL. Thailand I round up.

I love when the folks here in Cambodia trade in bags of reil notes (500,12 cents) for US $20's and $50's.[/QUOTE]You've just reminded me of my trip to SR. The hotel I stayed at checked me in but the room had not been tidied up from the past occupant. When I looked, I saw they had left a tip on the pillow for the cleaner. It was two 50 riel notes, (about 2 cents US).

On another trip to Cam, I picked up a girl in PP for a 4 day trip to Snooky. I usually leave a $1 dollar tip for the cleaner each day on the pillow. So after my first night, I think I've left $1 but when I look, it's not there. Naive as it sounds, it doesn't occur to me that my "guest" might have taken it. I'm rewarding her well. I must have forgotten to leave the $1, so I place a $1 on the pillow shortly after we leave the room. I get about 10 yds and remember I've left my Debit Card, and I go back to room and again there is no $1. I call the girl back to the room. Tell her to pack her bag and then pay a tuktuk to take her to the bus station. I was really annoyed. These cleaners are earning about $20 a week, and I was giving the girl $50 a night. Apart from the fact that she would probably have stolen from me as well had she got the chance, it seemed such a low thing to do.

[QUOTE=Dublin12;2527541]As I understand matters, the problem is that vaccination should make you immune from the disease in the short term, but it will not stop you breathing in the virus, and later breathing it out on someone else. Apparently, the virus stays live within the person for up to a month or so. If you are immune through the vax, and then move to another country, even though you are asymptomatic, you are capable of spreading it.

The anti-vaxxers will only add to the problem in delaying eradication of this. I was chatting online with a girl in Phils and she tells me that there have already been many deaths related to Vax in PI. I googled it, [URL]https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/29/philippines-covid-vaccination-policy[/URL] and as of last Friday, there hadn't been any vax delivered to PI. It seems that there was a previous vax scare in PI related to Dengue and this has been conflated with the current problem.

I can't say that I blame them for not trusting their gov. The Dengue Vax is sourced from the same biz that provides the Sinovax, and it appears to have reached the same stage of approval (incomplete) as the Dengue Vax. I see also from the news report, that PI have ordered smaller quantities of the Pfizer jab. My guess is that being PI, the rich will get Pfizer, and the rest will get Sinovax.[/QUOTE]I think a lot of that is speculative. It's unknown if you can spread the virus if you've been vaccinated because they haven't been any studies. So out of an abundance of caution of course we're going to take all measures. But there are very definitely studies about how long after you sick you contagious..... And it's nothing like a month.

It seems perfectly reasonable to me, that if you have been vaxxed, though you may be immune and never caught the disease yourself, if you then mix with infected persons, you will then breathe in the virus. I mention 28 days because there are plenty of people who take that long to recover. But even if it's only say 5 days. Those five days means that every one that comes into close contact with you is at risk of infection from you.

If you breathe in infected air, that air does not become uninfected because you are immune. The pre-flight testing is looking for both sick and asymptomatic carriers.

Regarding the length of the illness: [URL]https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/how-long-does-coronavirus-last[/URL].

Extract: How long does it take to recover?

The COVID-19 recovery period depends on the severity of the illness. If you have a mild case, you can expect to recover within about two weeks. But for more severe cases, it could take six weeks or more to feel better, and hospitalization might be required.

Further extract: One study from China published in Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery demonstrates this: In the study, a woman had mild COVID-19 symptoms, which disappeared after 2–3 weeks. However, she retained a positive diagnosis status for over two months.

My unprofessional opinion, is that it's a very weird illness and symptoms have varied from innocuous such as mere loss of taste and smell, end even cases involving a rash on toes, all the way to double viral pneumonia. The latest I have seen is that it is now being linked to onset diabetes. [URL]https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/02/01/covid-new-onset-diabetes/[/URL].

I hope you don't think I am fearmongering, but it seems that this virus has lots of tricks to play on. Us. Personally, I am going stir crazy sitting at home and I feel like I am in a bad business deal where I am looking for a loophole to have a break somewhere quiet, and every time I think I've found one, CV slams that door shut in my face.

[/QUOTE]I almost obsessively try to read whatever vaccination news I can find. I might very well be wrong, but my understanding is that as Kafka said: it's just an overabundance of caution.

Vaccinated people shouldn't, theoretically, spread virus, but it's not known empirically whether they do or don't. However, in order for you to infect someone it's not enough to "breathe in infected air. " The infection should take hold first. The uncertainty is exactly there: even if you're immune, do you become a carrier and spread the disease? It's not impossible, obviously, but still unlikely. It's not like you breathe it in, and voila, you now infect everyone you get in contact with.

There are companies that create immunization passports, based, as I understand on the premise that vaccinated people do not spread the disease. But again, we don't know for sure, and only time will tell.

The there is PPE which is always incinerated after use, and this includes items such as surgical gowns, which on the face of it, you might think can be laundered and recycled.

I personally don't see that how an inoculated person will be able to kill the virus by breathing in, and if they breathe out, they must be expelling the particles of the virus that they've just inhaled, as well as retaining some of these. Given that, I am strongly inclined to believe that inoculation will turn those who come into contact with an infected person to likely become asymptomatic spreaders. Of course if I am right, there is a new danger to the extent that the spreader, because they have no symptoms, are unlikely to get tested, so we may never know the true extent of this, if it does indeed happen.

If my beliefs are correct, we will in due course, see the virus in people who have had the jab.

During the meantime, the advice is that the vaxed still need to wear a mask and distance, and countries like the US are anticipating the possibility of the vaxed being asymptomatic spreaders. There may not be any evidence yet, and I may be wrong, but if we wait for the evidence before taking action. ? That's shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

I suggest you start reading a few medical books about how viruses work. It takes a certain viral load to get infected. Even if you breathe in the virus if your body keeps it from replicating you won't have enough to shed to infect anybody else. Of course if you really want to remain afraid go right ahead the government and the media will oblige you

I respect everybody's opinion and everybody's going to do what's best for themselves. So I'm not telling you what to do and I suggest you reciprocate with the same.

Don't travel to Columbia that's all but most of us are interested in making the trip and as can be seen by many of the posts here people have had a good time. The truth is there is less covid in Columbia than there is in America

So I just returned from 7 days trip into Cartagena, fun as everyone assured me.

• for entry by air to Colombia you need to provide 1-PCR COVID-19 results and 2- fill in a Colombian online form 24 hours before arrival, which also needs a passport picture file jpeg or png [URL]https://www.migracioncolombia.gov.co/contingencia-check-mig[/URL].

• for return to USA you need 1- a PCR or Viral test (viral test was half price and results are much faster) and 2- Colombian form again and 3-fill in US attestation form for COVID-19.

• for Chica friendly apartments, I rented through Airbnb and made sure to ask this question and had a local guide I knew from previous travel check with building security to see if they are bribable, I am not sure if it is against forum rules to provide building name, but you can message me for it.

• Old town square / clock tower was very live, lots of picks and they were willing to negotiate on prices, my usual was 100 mil pesos / hour for chicks that I like and 150 for super model looking type (I don't speak Spanish, and my haggling power goes down when my little guy is excited), I found this to be the best way to pick up chicks as you can see the chick's attitude, can recommend a few and definitely blocked a few others after 1st meeting.

• Websites had less selection, bad quality and high prices, I do not recommend them in Cartagena.

• Tinder was slow for girl pickup, had picked some numbers from tinder / Instagram but by the time I got to Cartagena they already left (I definitely regret missing on super sexy twins from Medellin).

• A lot of scene for other fun as well, I dated a local girl, I went to the islands, disco, restaurants etc, definitely sated a lot of cravings for minimal amount of money compared to USA.

• Powder was easy to get, first batch was bad and I barely felt anything other than numbness, 2nd batch was super super powerful, I stayed fully awake and horny for 6 hours after just a very small pinch.

• I couldn't upload photos, stuck at %7 forever.

The emphasis should be on 'if'.

"So I'm not telling you what to do and I suggest you reciprocate with the same."

I have no recollection of telling anyone what to do.

"Don't travel to Columbia that's all but most of us are interested in making the trip and as can be seen by many of the posts here people have had a good time."

And there you are telling me what to do? In fairness to you, I think that is based on you wrongly surmising the motive behind my post. I trust you will reconsider that comment?

I too am interested in going to Colombia. The only thing stopping me is that the lockdown in Ireland and the UK is so stringent, that I can only leave home for essential reasons, and foreign travel is very strictly controlled. I would not get past the check-in desk. Reasons for foreign travel are very limited and unless I am travelling on business, returning to my own country, or need to look after a sick relative because nobody else is available, I am stuck. I can assure you that as soon as I've had my jab, and the travel restrictions are lifted, I will be booking my ticket, and I will gladly comply with whatever restrictions that are placed on my return, including the mandatory self-isolation.

My comments are not specific to Colombia and arose because people here were questioning the need for a "clear test" before being allowed to return to the US. What I wrote was why I believe the US thinks that these tests are necessary There is so far, no evidence one way or the other that vaccinated people cannot spread the disease. Xpaartan posted that he thought that there was an overabundance of caution. He may well be right. As far as that goes, NZ eradicated the virus and went weeks without any new infections while introducing strict 14 day quarantines for people entering the country. Then they allowed two Brits to bypass the quarantine on compassionate grounds, as they were visiting a serious ill relative. They brought the virus with them, and since then NZ has not been able to eradicate it again.

FWIW, I am in favour of an overabundance of caution by govs. There is no point in shutting the stable doors after the horse has bolted. I am originally from the UK, which has an 800 year history of hearing about strange plagues etc, originating in the Mediterranean and a couple of years, coming to England. One thing we should have learned from history, is that these "plagues" are always brought in by foreign travel. In spite of this, the UK gov did not enact any precautions at the border controls until July. You would think that being on an island with with border controls would have offered a lot of protection from "foreign travel" as a route of transmission. I looked at all the island nations with a population of 1 mill plus, and then compared the per capita mortality rates, Top with 1586 deaths per mill was the UK. Second is Cyprus with 167. The three most populated island nations on the planet, are Indonesia, Japan and Phils. They had 111,46 and 99 respectively. The UK is a classic case what happens when you throw caution to the wind.

Finally, this forum is about exchanges of ideas, info and stories, and that is all I've ever done. My posts are made in good faith, and are on the basis of, "This is what I've read / heard", or "This is what I believe". I could be wrong but I as far as the possibility that the vaxed may be able to asymptomatically spread CV, it is far too early for any conclusions to be reached and we are unlikely to know for several months one way or the other. I mention this, because you appear to have concluded that I have an agenda to put people off of hobbying. If that were the case, I'd be posting similarly everywhere. Apart from the Cartagena forum, I have made one other CV related post on the Cambodia forum, which was about the entry conditions for Cam. They require that you deposit $2 K in an Cam bank account designated by them, ostensibly to take care of any charges that you may incur related to CV. In that case, my comment was about whether once I made the deposit, I might see the return of that money. That was based on my first visit to Cam when I was extorted at the airport to pay the visa fee twice. Since then, I've always obtained an e-visa.

My posts are not "google originals", but confirmed by google.

Update of curfew schedules in Cartagena.

Sunday to Thursday it will start at 12:00 midnight and end at 5:00 in the morning. On Fridays and Saturdays from 2:00 am And will end at 5:00 am.

I recently travelled to Cartagena and returned to the US. Unfortunately, the new USCDC covid testing requirements came into effect a few days before my departure. I met this requirement by visiting Clinica Medihelp in Bocagrande. I took an antigen test for 170.000 pesos. Their website suggests that the results take 3 hours; however, in my case the results were available in less than two hours.

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2524482]I seldom post anymore here but just had to chime in with a piece of my mind.

Myself and my good Colombian buddies and a few of my close trusted gringo friends here in Medellin regularly get off the charts amazing sex GFE for 1 to 3 hours with a 7 to 9 paisa or Venezuelan for 100 to 130 mil.

And not not all are centro putas rather just friends of friends in the barrios, some are so real and sweet that you want to give a propina in addition to the agreed upon 100 mil but don't as you just fuck it up for others.

The weekend warriors who come into Colombia and hit either the Clock Tower in Cartagena or Park LLeras clubs and street girls in Medellin and throw money at them like their a rap star is the reason are much different than the expats who are here and provide some stability in price points.

My friends, some of which who smash 2 or 3 a day here in Medellin, and never come on these boards and talk about any of it. I am talking 2 a day every day of every week of every month of, you get the idea.

I am a point in my life where I am satisfied with the 5 chicas I had this past week, the is good for my style and thirst, 4 were new and one was a favorite from a few years ago. I have about a dozen who have been on me for the past 2 weeks to give them some attention. And most importantly is that they all know that I pay 100 to 130 mil MAX for a few hours plus taxi. I could have easily pulled the trigger and had about 4 others during this average week but decided to use that energy and time and spend it in my hobby.

We all have or I should say we all should have a hobby or passion to do other things aside from or in addition to this hobby of P4 P and so my new years resolution is to round out my life with just a bit more balance and in the past 3 weeks I put this resolution into play and I already am in a much better place in both my mind and my body.

Lets keep it real out there guys.

Now we return you to the normal broadcast.

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]This is the same treatment I get in the DR. I've been here for almost a year now hardly know any Spanish and can count on my hand how many full timers I've been with.

It really kicked in when a friend sent me one of his chicks I also like variety and she so she volunteered her friends. When I asked how she could possibly have so many friends she addmited she ran out of them a while back and just started asking around the Barrio if someone wanted to make some money. Then I asked everyone to bring a friend and everyone except my maid and a nurse did.

Even my Landlady offered up friends. When I asked how did she know I'd want someone she said she saw the amount of chicas going in and out. She offered a former neighbor and law student who offered anal in lieu of pussy. I told her I needed a few strokes in the pussy so that I would be hard enough for anal.

Because none of these chicks were professional BB was on the menu and for most CIP was available as well.

I expect the same treatment where ever I go and got it even in the States. I will be in Colombia soon and I'm gathering Intel now.

Trip.

Just arrived to Cartagena yesterday evening, very easy process through immigration. Just be sure to have pre-registered your Colombian immigration form online and have a copy of your negative Covid PCR test. Found a great Airbnb close to the Clocktower area and there is a doorman but he leaves every night at 9 pm and I have my own set of keys to the building. The unit I'm in is actually 3 stories high with two balconies that over look the Main Street and a really cool private rooftop patio that I'm sure the chicas will like. Hopefully the doorman won't give me a hard time with girls coming in with me during the day but we will see! At least I know after 9 pm is free reign. A little weary from the trip here but of course "carpe diem" is in my head, showered up, then headed out to find a good dinner. Street leaches everywhere and as pesty as ever, tried to be as polite as possible but being stern and making it clear that I didn't need their help did the trick (until I turned another corner and there were another two on my heels LOL). Had a great dinner of Red Snapper and shrimp and decided to check out La Dolce Vida. It was pretty early around 8:00 pm but there were at least 40 girls in there and things were only heating up. Maybe one other group of a party of 5 guys in there and then there was me haha. Grabbed a beer and surveyed the land as I was getting constant smiles from Chicas eager to head out with someone. I'm a little picky and didn't see what I liked so decided to head to Clock Tower square where things were just starting to heat up there as well. After a bit of looking I saw a group of three very cute young looking girls, approached, and picked my favorite after a very short conversation of me awkwardly trying to use my horrible Spanish and translator application (Yes I need to learn Spanish but you can get by easy enough without it here as well!) She was a 21 year old cutie wearing lingerie style black fishnet stockings and a long t-shirt, yeah that's all she was wearing. It looked it little different but she was so hot she pulled it off and it was soooo sexy. She was Venezuelan and didn't have an ID or whatever but I said screw it, let's see how cool the doorman is. We walked 5 minutes to the apartment and it was 8:50, door to the building was locked and apparently doorman left early. Great. Took her up, lifted up that t shirt and everything was perfect underneath including a super slutty sexy tiny black string thong. Ok I think I'm getting too detailed haha but yeah- you can imagine the rest. Had great sex and oral and we shared some laughs and discussions over translator and my broken Spanish. Got her WhatsApp and will definitely see her again. Two more dates set up today with long lost hotties from the other time I came here two years ago that I managed to keep in touch with via social media. Anyways, so far so good here in Cartagena. I needed this!

She sounds hot as fuck. How long will you be there? I arrive the 19th.

Surfer500 posted this question in Medellin thread and then in the Travel thread and then got some weird message from the administrator because it was though he posted something he did not post, it is an important question for anyone traveling around inside Colombia:

" I'm going to be travelling from MDE to Santa Marta next month. Is there a requirement that you have a Colombian App on your phone to get into the airport to board a domestic flight. Will the App work on a USA cell phone, if not, how is this handled. In other words if you don't have a Colombian cell number on a smartphone will you be able to get inside the airport. Nature of trip is to suck on those nipples besides penetrating some holes. Any help would be appreciated. ".

Spent half of the day with a gal I met here a couple years ago. Shared plenty of laughs and kisses, oh and we had sex three times. Wasn't sure how easy it would be to get her in the Airbnb apartment with the doorman / guard but I've been greeting him with kindness and buttering him up by calling him amigo each time I've passed by since I arrived. It was kind of funny, he just stood up, zapped her with his temperature gun, sprayed each hand with sanitizer then gave her the nod. I had to chuckle a bit and was relieved!

We had a great lunch at Buena Vida Marisqueria, ordered three things from the appetizer menu and it was amazing food. As great as the first half of the day was, the evening would only get better when girl #2 showed up.

Here's a few pictures.

[QUOTE=December007;2529059]I typically stay in 5 stars so looking for something nice and comparable. Preferably ocean front with balcony.

Any information you have on places you been and about the 5 stats places you stayed will be greatly appreciated!

Girl 2 of yesterday showed up and wanted to party at my apartment, this was another girl I had met a couple years ago when I was in Cartagena. She was just as hot and fun as I had remembered and I've been wanting to see her again ever since I left so it was a real treat. She speaks English so that added to the experience for sure. I think the doorman understands the main reason I'm here and this time he didn't even get up out of his chair to check temperatures or sanitize any hands LOL! We just walked right past him with another "hola amigo!" from me.

Long story short: We drank many Club Colombia cervesas, polished off a bottle of vodka, and stayed up until 6 am dancing and singing the night away. She brought some stuff that helped us stay awake all night and it was very good. Here's a few pictures of the fun, she even surprised me with a sexy little outfit she brought for me. Woke up with one hell of a headache at 4 pm but oh what a night!

There are other good options in Laguito on the lagoon. I snagged a place for $25 a night chica friendly with great reviews on Airbnb.

I've just discovered that the fine for ATTEMPTING to leave Ireland for a holiday is €500 (about $600 US) [URL]https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/covid-19-people-caught-trying-to-holiday-abroad-will-face-500-fines-from-monday-1.4471421[/URL] I can afford the fine, but the other losses such as air tickets and hotel bookings are likely to ratchet this up to nearer €2 k ($2400 US), so I am going to be patient for a little longer. I did investigate crossing the border to the north, but the fine for doing that is also 500 and If I make it to Belfast Airport, the UK also has a similar travel ban, though the fine is only 200 GBP (about $270 US). This is not so much the island of Ireland, but more like the Island of Alctaraz.

Lockdown will not end here before Mar 5th.

Anyway, I was writing to ask, as I am not sure about the rules on here, are you allowed divulge the name of the Airbnb at Laguito or a link please.

A lot of buildings in Bocagrande have changed policies due to the to pandemic and no longer allow this..... Original poster was correct

Edit: I thought I knew the chica

It's not that hard to figure out which ones do which don't. Look under house rules if you don't see specifically that no guests are allowed send a message to the host and ask if you are allowed to bring guests in and if so wonder what conditions. Of course you should explain to them that you are responsible guest and not looking to have large parties. That's all you have to do look under the house rules for guests and then send a message the host. They understand what guests mean.

I did look on Airbnb last night, and came across one review where the guest mentioned it was "guest friendly". I assumed that this was not unique. I also noticed that there was a facility to contact the owner, and that there are plenty of filters so the property itself can be narrowed down. So it's just a matter of putting in the footwork now and working out the geography of the area. I like to have every thing I need within walking distance.

Assuming ISG has no rules against it, I will post any successful leads I come across.

Sharing here is not a good idea--if any of this is reported to Airbnb those listings will be taken down. And none of us will have access. And this is a public website not everybody has the best interests at heart of our community.


If you want to say chica friendly apartments by location name that's fine. At least in my opinion....for example the palmetto elliptic at this point does not allow guests, unless registered.

For my last few trips (I was living there I'm for a few months in early 2020), I looked at a few places in Manga. None of them had doormen. You could have your chica walk up to the apartment entrance where you unlocked the door and let her in. Súper convenient. I've never stayed in Bocagrande or Laguito. It seemed like too much of a hassle for a terrible beach.

Heading down to Cartagena tomorrow for a few days. My first time. I've been to Bogota many times and just thought I should mix it up. I can tell I've already made my first mistake by booking one of those "5-star" hotels on the water. So now I need to figure out how to hook up while I'm there. LOL Any suggestion? Cheers.

Do you guys have any of these ladies whatsapp, I'm trying to have things set up before we land. Celebrating my friend's birthday.

It's a waste of time to set them up in advance unless you've already been there trust me when you get off the plane it's not going to take long.

I don't recommend motels near downtown in Cartagena, they are expensive and they charge per hour, you can find very cheap hotels in Getsemany (it's a safe neighborhood close to downtown) all night per USD 20, I think is your better option.

If you need any additional info please contact me I'm a local.

Another thing is that I'm a shorttimer. I really pay them to leave, as the joke goes. I'm very nice to girls, but I'm not looking for a girlfriend. I don't need them to hang out with.

That is, of course, until or unless you really meet a girl who is so much fun you do want to spend more time with her. Then I could just check her in with me, as I always book double. Problem solved.

Most of them prefer to leave to. They have kids of boyfriends waiting for them.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2529089]Surfer500 posted this question in Medellin thread and then in the Travel thread and then got some weird message from the administrator because it was though he posted something he did not post, it is an important question for anyone traveling around inside Colombia:

" I'm going to be travelling from MDE to Santa Marta next month. Is there a requirement that you have a Colombian App on your phone to get into the airport to board a domestic flight. Will the App work on a USA cell phone, if not, how is this handled. In other words if you don't have a Colombian cell number on a smartphone will you be able to get inside the airport. Nature of trip is to suck on those nipples besides penetrating some holes. Any help would be appreciated. ".[/QUOTE]The CoronaApp was surely required in December. It worked fine on both iPhone and Android. And it worked fine with international numbers. I assume it is still required to travel domestically. It was not hard to use if you understand Spanish.

[QUOTE=GoodTimes4444;2528669]Had a great dinner of Red Snapper and shrimp and decided to check out La Dolce Vida. It was pretty early around 8:00 pm but there were at least 40 girls in there and things were only heating up. Maybe one other group of a party of 5 guys in there and then there was me haha. Grabbed a beer and surveyed the land as I was getting constant smiles from Chicas eager to head out with someone. [/QUOTE]Hahaha, we must have been there the same time GoodTimes. You weren't lying about the 40 girls. My and my friends counted 4-5 guys and all those girls, but we didn't stay. We couldn't deal with the music so we left after I got one number. We went to the plaza then off to Delirium where the music was just right and the crowd was enjoying it.

Just had a great 3 days at the Hyatt with someone I met on line and checked her on with me as a girlfriend. Coming back next month and want to have fun with many. Thinking of booking a 5 star hotel for $100 at the Hyatt and then another apartment to bring the girls back to rather than a short term hotel on case any are worth staying the night. Has anyone else done this. Appreciate the advice!

I would suggest that you do make a visit to Bogota if you can make room for it, heck that would round off your visit as you would experience Medellin and Cartagena and Bogota.

Super excited! I got a SWEET fare through JetBlue. I'll be down there mid-April. Down to hangout / connect with cool people. I'm a laid-back, no drama, fun-loving dude and seek the same. Probably not going to hardcore monger, but will definitely test the waters. Looking forward to non-mongering activities as well as relax.

Working with Juan to hopefully secure my accommodations. I know Airbnb can be a dicey situation with guests, but if someone can recommend a a place that doesn't cause issues. Please let me know.

I appreciate the reports of BlackPage, YippiefKayak, and Brother P. I will rtff and try to avoid any rookie questions. This isn't my first rodeo. Been going to Sosua forever and ready to expand the territory. I'm glad I have plenty of time to do proper research!

First of all, I would like to say thank you guys for all this amazing advice. This is a great an awesome community. If any of you guys are in Medellin in August, I would live to link up and check out a couple spots. I'm a 30 year old (pretty young in the game) and been mongering in SF for a couple years now. Medellin sounds like a mongers paradise and would live to explore with one of you fine gentlemen.

Now my question is about Lutron. I read many amazing but older reviews. Has anybody been there lately? Any good talent?

Also any good alternatives?

I will be there with 2 other friends. Staying in old city. Been there multiple times looking to get back into things. 2/17-3/6. I'd love to meet some mongers not a pod member so PM's won't work.

I got here 4 hours ago. I'm staying in old city near Clock Tower. So far not digging Cartegena. I can't walk 5 ft without being accosted by hawks. I've been all over Asia and never seen any thing close. It's extremely irritating. Also yet to see a single girl. It's early. 6 PM. But there is not a single punter at clock tower. Plus it's more expensive here than in the US. Sorry I don't see the appeal. I just left Bogota. I was in a great location between San Diego and Santa Fe. I was doing well there. Going back tomorrow unless things change drastically later. Santa Fe is almost as good as Asia hot spots Different vibe. A little more edgy. But there are some gems. I'm not getting the same experience here in Cartegena as some of the previous people have posted. Maybe after Santa Fe I was expecting too much.

S[/QUOTE]The only action before 10 pm (other than possibly some casas or strip joints) is on Playa Hollywood. What exactly is more expensive there than in the US? I pay $60 a night for an apartment that has a balcony over looking the ocean. I can find all varying prices of food at restaurants and if I really want save I can get groceries at Supermercado Olímpica dirt cheap. OR I can't east at an authentic Italian Trattoria ran by Italians that serves made from scratch entrees for around the price of a quarter pounder meal in the US. If I shop around and I'm not too awful picky and I consent to a condom even for a blow job than I can find a chica for around $40 which is probably not as cheap as you were paying in Bogota but for my money the quality is better in Cartagena, I realize that many guys have different taste, but there is no other place on the planet that has the concentration of hot chicas for sale in such a small area, but my point is where you going to pay $40 or even $60 in the US when its not some scabies ridden crack ho. So what exactly do you mean when you say more expensive than US?

Regarding the beaches, Cartagena does have turquoise blue beaches, only they are not those of Bocagrande, you need to take a boat or yacht and go to the Rosario Islands, check this out [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v[/URL] = lV7 aiRnX9 iE.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2531877]Yeah you're at the clock tower at 6:00 pm looking for punters?[/QUOTE]OMG, that is too funny.

I would like to go to Colombia for a few weeks starting March 1 or so. I normally stay in Hiltons. Can someone summarize the current situation in terms of bringing girls into various hotels? I would like to stay somewhere nice but without hassles in bringing girls to my room. It seems the situation was hard before and worse now. What about 3 star hotels? What about apartments? Is Juan or Mery still in business? I wrote them both but neither has answered. I knew them from way back. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Which Italian restaurant?

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2531896]The only action before 10 pm (other than possibly some casas or strip joints) is on Playa Hollywood. What exactly is more expensive there than in the US? I pay $60 a night for an apartment that has a balcony over looking the ocean. I can find all varying prices of food at restaurants and if I really want save I can get groceries at Supermercado Olmpica dirt cheap. OR I can't east at an authentic Italian Trattoria ran by Italians that serves made from scratch entrees for around the price of a quarter pounder meal in the US. If I shop around and I'm not too awful picky and I consent to a condom even for a blow job than I can find a chica for around $40 which is probably not as cheap as you were paying in Bogota but for my money the quality is better in Cartagena, I realize that many guys have different taste, but there is no other place on the planet that has the concentration of hot chicas for sale in such a small area, but my point is where you going to pay $40 or even $60 in the US when its not some scabies ridden crack ho. So what exactly do you mean when you say more expensive than US?[/QUOTE]

Kafka looking for advice. I am coming for 5 nights in a few weeks Friday through Tuesday. I have a girl from last time I will check into my hotel for 2 nights but want to "play" the other 3 nights. Visiting casas, strip clubs and guess the Clock Tower late!

Should I play Friday Saturday Sunday or Sunday Monday Tuesday?

[QUOTE=Kafka;2532094]Which Italian restaurant?[/QUOTE]Di Silvio Trattoria in Getsemani. Its a little jewel if you appreciate made from scratch Italian. I have been to Italy and eaten at highly rated places and this is just as good. It is near the plaza that a lot of people hang at in front of the church: Iglesia de la Santsima Trinidad, the plaza is called Plaza de la Santsima Trinidad. It is one bloc west of this plaza. I will attach photos and directions. One photo is mine but the others are from Google maps. One image is the map, one image is the pasta dish section of their menu, one image is a Google street map image of standing at the plaza facing west and an arrow showing where the restaurant is and the other image is my last meal there.

Thanks. I know the plaza. The Russian you boat bar is near there as well. I am going to check it out

I have not even checked on the hotel situation in quite a few years but when I did the ones that allowed girls brought in were more close to 2 star basic amenities places. I prefer an apartment anyway so can cook my own breakfast etc, and I have plenty of space to stretch out and relax as well as entertain.

[QUOTE=W20415;2531863]I got here 4 hours ago. I'm staying in old city near Clock Tower. So far not digging Cartegena. I can't walk 5 ft without being accosted by hawks. I've been all over Asia and never seen any thing close. It's extremely irritating. Also yet to see a single girl. It's early. 6 PM. But there is not a single punter at clock tower. Plus it's more expensive here than in the US. Sorry I don't see the appeal. I just left Bogota. I was in a great location between San Diego and Santa Fe. I was doing well there. Going back tomorrow unless things change drastically later. Santa Fe is almost as good as Asia hot spots Different vibe. A little more edgy. But there are some gems. I'm not getting the same experience here in Cartegena as some of the previous people have posted. Maybe after Santa Fe I was expecting too much.[/QUOTE]You should do more research on Cartagena because you are missing out on very important details that can save you some grief. I like Cartagena and you have to know what you are doing and know where you are going at the correct time. Don't let small things irritate you. You can ruin your own vacation that way.

Any other suggestions appreciated.

Thank you to all those that have contributed to my career as an hornithologist over the years (SE Asia, Europe and S. America) I finally signed up for premium and hope to give back in the future. Heading to CTG end of the month then Bogota after a few days. CTG is my favorite place in the world, outside of AC in Phils. Second trip and last time stayed in one of the luxury beachfront places that won't be named here. Never had issues with late night entrance with a few bills in the hand. But it sounds like COVID may have finally put an end to that. Any recommendations for an apartment in Laguito or Bocagrande that can work please PM me. Prefer more upscale but based on the recommendations here, may have to one to stay and one to play. Last time only visited LDV at the end of the last trip, so it will be front and center this time. In the past it ISIS, Clocktower and Hollywood. Any good clubs at the moment operating with curfew? Hoping also to catch the UK rugby somewhere. Thanks again, first official report right after I land.

A little research goes a long way. He probably would have stayed in Bogota had he done his research. There is real value $$$ in having your expectations in order. Thanks for the lesson. I haven't been to Colombia at all so I can't speak on Bogota. It's quite apparent the skin tone wasn't his cup of tea either.

People are trying to sell you stuff all the time of course they're trying to make a living all you have to do is politely say no thanks. Once they sense that it's getting under your skin they're not going to stop. They're going to bother you till you give the money or leave.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2532426]Any other suggestions appreciated.[/QUOTE]The following are are the places that I always return to but I also like to try new places when I go because the restaurant scene has exploded since I started going there in 2009.

There used to be another board that I followed back then also, I cannot remember the name but the word "chica" was in it and it covered primarily Colombia and DR.

You probably know the rest of my go-to places already. Some of which are not as cheap as that Italian joint. I never fail to hit up a Crepes & Waffles, whether it is the one in Bocagrande On Calle 9/ Carrera 2 or the one in Centro three buildings north but opposite of Santuario de San Pedro Claver and then just across from Santuario de San Pedro Claver on the plaza San Pedro Claver is San Pedro Cafe that has gourmet seafood and high end dishes and is more pricey. Riquisimo in Laguito has good baby beef grilled over wood coals, served up Argentinian style with chimichurri. That is about the only meal I get at Riquisimo, the empanadas are just alright.

I had the best grilled fish I ever had was at a restaurant that a chica took me to on the beach on at the end by Laguito the one beyond Playa Hollywood that faces west almost toward Isla de Tierra Bomba. There used to be a guy renting a wave runner down there too.

I visited a restaurant a few times back years ago that was ran by a French women, the place is called Oh La La. I used to try to date non-pro chicas off of ColombianCupid before I switched it up to just guaranteed pussy with p4 p, but this was a go to spot then, good date spot. They were in the old city but have since moved over too Getsemani.

One place that says on Google Maps that it is permanently closed is another place I used to visit on every trip, that was Mila Postres, I have eaten their tacos but they were famous for their desserts, and decent coffee too, so I would go for the tacos as an excuse to eat a dessert with a coffee.

Another place I miss is this place that was on the main commercial street in Bocagrande that sold arepas stuffed with spicy ground meat and cheese, damn they were good. The place had a walk up window and tables outside. I had them around 2010, and 2011 but then just didn't go for a while, thought about last trip but couldn't find the place.

Some photos of food and then one of the take home variety of dessert.

Yes and Juan Valdez. Great spot for non pro-hoes.
And there's a Lebanese dessert place right near Juan Valdez couple blocks down towards Laguito beach side.... Also people should not miss the ceviche they have at the Sombrero place just off the old city...... Also the fruit madres that sell it on the beach...

I have been in the whole coast of Colombia (Caribbean) numerous times including Cartagena. I know all the aggressive punks and it can be relentless.

My rule, I give one "no gracias", if they continue I firmly say with eyes looking directly at them "no gracias, no thanks", if they continue I call them a molesting fucking maricon, get away from me you fagot queer, and if they happen to touch me, invade my space I take a swing at them, no shit this is the only thing that works.

The Tall Man.

Between Playa De Bocagrande and Playa Hollywood, which one has the better looking water? I'm not concerned about mongering opportunities. I enjoy passing time relaxing in a beach chair. Hopefully, I get at least one day without overcast so I can catch some rays. I thought of taking a day trip to Playa Blanca, but I'm not sure if I want to invest the time / money it would take to get there.

Thanks.

It's all the same--Playa Hollywood, Bocagrande. Some places have fancy chairs or you can pay a little extra and hang out with Tony and the chicas....lol. That's usually pretty entertaining... but he is a pain in the ass


Don't go to Playa Blanca on weekends it's a mob scene, at least it was pre-covid. Also there are numerous Playa Blancas. As far as getting to a really good beach I would definitely look into some of the excursions from the boat harbor which go to some amazing locations offshore. This is probably your best bet as far as getting to the kind of water that you're probably thinking of.

Everything is on the phone PCR test boarding passes, immigration form filled out for tomorrow departure. I'll have everything backed up on paper just in case. I'm taking Spirit airlines everything looks pretty good I didn't select any seats but they put me in windows and the whole plane looks socially distant. I'll be around through next week probably won't do any reports till after.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]It was a short boat ride from Laquito where I stayed. The beach was nice and practically empty, the water is clean, and there are a couple of restaurants. One mistake we made was to let the touts from the "mainland" cross with us because they attached themselves to us like leeches and tried to handle everything from beach chairs to food. It wasn't too bad, but we were hungry and had to bargain hard to slash their ridiculous prices by half.

If I were to travel there again, there is a nice little beachfront hotel with a pool, jacuzzi and beach beds. I asked the manager if they'd let me stay for the day for the consumption, and he countered with 50 mil. I'm sure I could've bargained it down, but there wasn't enough time for us left to enjoy it. Even at 50 mil that's already a bargain for using all the facilities and clean bathrooms, IMHO.

I definitely went to the wrong one. But I think I know the one you're talking about. Yes these leeches attach themselves to you in Cuba they call them jinteros. Jockeys.

Here's some pictures I took in Jan 2020. This is about a mile or 2 down from Playa Blanca. We took a lancha there from Playa Blanca. Its nicer down there with much less people around and no hawkers about. I hired a taxi driver for the day to take us there and be my valet for whatever we needed. We had food and drinks, massages and rented a jet ski. I also had a lot of great meals in Cartagena for about 2/3 what I would pay here in a major US city.

Thanks guys! I did a little more research and it doesn't seem as expensive as I thought. I guess those prices of $200+ are for a private boat. I don't need that. I'm ok with a group ferry.

Mr. International, the car route isn't bad either. I checked prices and it's only $29/ day. Are the roads easy and straight forward driving without a lot of directions? My spanish is ok, but far from fluent.

It appears reservations are required for Playa Blanca, Baru. The beach reopened in December 2020 after being closed for an extended period. Max persons is 1000/ day. Here is the link - [URL]https://reservadeplayas.cartagena.gov.co[/URL]. I plan on going on a Thursday so I shouldn't have too much of an issue. The problem is that I can only make a reservation for 1 person. I would like to option to bring a chica with me if I found someone that seemed cool and low maintenance enough to tag along.

The pictures of the beach proves it is exactly what I'm looking for. Punta Arenas, seems to be a step down and I actually want something a little less crowded.

AmorPorFavor, how much did you pay for the private driver for the day? If reasonable, that might be a viable option. Nice scenery in those pics! LOL.

My buddy just booked this Airbnb in Centro Historico. 5 star, "guest friendly". Guys name is Juan, he said no problem bringing guest to apartment, but NO Parties!

Taxi round trip from the van drop off in Cartagena was 200K alone; that is what made me rent a car the next time.

The GPS cut out when I got to the dirt road that the beach is on. I asked a guy that was on a motorbike and he led me the rest of the way. He had on a Playa Blanca shirt. Turned out he worked there and took us right to the spot that he works.

I did not see anyone counting people. Maybe that is something they will do for the boats, but not the people driving. The good thing was that the boats that usually run bringing tourists were not running. I guess there is no demand for it due to covid. You will be in paradise before 10 AM, but when those things start arriving polluting and crowding up the water it sucks.

Hi everyone,

I've been reading on here for months and never posted anything yet but would like to thank you all for all the info I've gotten from your reports.

I'm arriving in Cartagena on Monday with a group of friends and would like to know current exchange rate and where to exchange money. I know ATMs are everyone's go to but we will be renting a yacht and doing some pricey activities so we need more cash than an ATM will spit out on several occasions. Any advice is appreciated.

Also, how is the duty free store at the airport? We're young (ish) and a large group so we plan on buying liquor in bulk. Does it make sense to load up at the duty free? We've done it that way in other countries and seems to be cost effective that way.

Last thing I wanted to ask is I thought I read something about filling out immigration forms online before flight? Any info on that?

Thanks in advance for any info, and thank you guys for the wealth of knowledge.

I used the BBVA ATMs located around the corner of the clock tower plaza. Never charged a fee abs rates were somewhere over 3500 pesos. But my friend was charged $5 with every withdrawal so it depends on your bank.

Guest (visitor) friendly with no extra fee. It took some searching and very specific questions asked. It's a nice spot with a balcony. The only drawback is lake view instead of ocean view. My previous location had a direct view of the sunset.

I was told this was the beach with less vendors than Playa Blanca. Vendors don't bother me. I say no gracias then keep walking ignoring them. They get the idea real quick as if they're invisible to me. After a few days of seeing me and knowing I'm going to say no, they don't even bother.

[QUOTE=AmorPorFavor;2532931]Here's some pictures I took in Jan 2020. This is about a mile or 2 down from Playa Blanca. We took a lancha there from Playa Blanca. Its nicer down there with much less people around and no hawkers about. I hired a taxi driver for the day to take us there and be my valet for whatever we needed. We had food and drinks, massages and rented a jet ski. I also had a lot of great meals in Cartagena for about 2/3 what I would pay here in a major US city.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=AlwaysHorny2;2533288]Is top shelf liquor for sale in Cartagena?. Asking for myself. The chicas can drink rum.[/QUOTE]I am not sure you can get all "top shelf liquors", I am originally from Kentucky so I keep my eyes out for top shelf Bourbon (a word to the wise: if it is not made in Kentucky it is not Bourbon, it is just whiskey masquerading as bourbon). I saw no bourbons while I was in Colombia, I do not search thoroughly but I keep my eyes peeled. So that is one of the things that I think of when you say top shelf, I think of say a single batch single barrel Bourbon whiskey, not everyone does. I have seen these Blue Label Johnny Walker Scotch, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Don Julio Tequila (rarely), Kettle One Vodka, Grand Old Parr is a scotch whiskey that is loved in Colombia and found in abundance on the coast, it is considered to be as good as Johnny Walker Black Label and Chivas Regal. Grand Old Parr is owned by the British company Diageo which also owns some of the other top shelf brands that I mentioned and some I did not because I do not consider them top shelf, Johnny Walker, Don Julio, Kettle One, Tanqueray, but also own Baileys, Guinness beer, Captain Morgan and slew of other labels, My point being that if you find Coca Cola some place you usually also find Sprite, so I would imagine that if Diageo has distribution in Colombia they are probably sending most of their brands there.

Again though I am not sure what you are specifically looking for. I personally would start my search at either an Exito or a Carulla supermarket, but her are some other leads to track down liquor. I copied the addrtess straight from Google Maps so people can just copy and paste them into google maps to find the places, that's also why there is some all caps.

This spot in Getsemani looks to have a lot of good labels. Comercializadora Donde Hector, Address BARRIO GETSEMANI CALLE LA MEDIA LUNA #9-95, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia.

Liquor Deluxe, Address: CL. 35 #3-54, Cartagena, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia.

El Sitio, Address: Playa #30-31, Cartagena, Provincia de Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia.

Thanks Mojo. Your response shows the beauty of this forum when members share great info. I try my best not to ask questions that can easily be researched. Not much comes up when using the words liquor and especially top shelf.

Not trying to come off as a snob, but I can't drink cheap liquor. I don't drink that often as I near 50 years of age. I eat fairly healthy and when I drink hard liquor or eat "bad" food my body let's me know it doesn't like it.

Bourbon is actually my go to drink. When I do drink, it's usually Basil Hayden. It used to be Bulleit, but either my tastes have changed or they did something to the formula. I also love Tequilas. Don Julio blanco was my favorite even during the Patron craze started many years ago. I never really cared for it. I'm more of a neat or block ice sipper now, so I have switched to Anejos. My favorite drink on this earth is Dos Artes extra anejo. It's not an every day drink for sure. At least my budget. You can't get it now due to COVID, but if I ran into it anywhere. I'm buying it.

For vacation, I shell out a few extra coins. Not Johnny Blue money, but like Mccallan 12 or Don Julio anejo. I'm well versed in liquor prices and I have a few websites to use as reference. However, if I see those two in duty free and the price is somewhat reasonable, I'm buying it. Don't want to run the risk of not having it just to save a few bucks. It is a pity that duty free is not as good in the past. You used to be able to score some great deals.

I know I'll probably get dragged for this next comment. Same with chicas. If I find one that I'm really vibing with and she's an 8+, I'll fork over 200 k instead of the standard 150 k. All day and twice on Sunday's LOL.

I would suggest buying top shelf in duty free on a way into Cartagena.

I can recommend this one (at least wine prices are better generally):

FYI I have excellent Spanish. Spent a week here. Damn its hot, I can't really go out and explore anything until after 4 pm. Love the clock tower. The clock tower is very small. I feel like everyone is watching me as I solicit, making me feel embarrassed*the first few days. Then girls I have taken see me take other girls the next day as does everyone else at the clock tower, LOL. If I ran into one of my girls I would buy them some water or a beer and flirt with them a little. Then they would see me take another girl LOL. I think it's better than Lleras, the girls are hotter and cheaper. I got very hot young girls for 150, only once I paid 300 for a tall blonde model type and she earned it. She was good but I had equal or better fun with girls that were 150. Yea they don't show up till it gets dark which sucks because I like afternoon delights LOL. I hit up Dolce Vita and Delirium which were very fun and filled with lots of hot girls of all types most wanted 250-300 but as it gets later in the night they do go down in price. I would go there get a drink and get numbers from the hottest girls, later some would text me or even call me when it was closing time, by then I was already smashing. I bought drinks for a couple of girls and of course got hands with them. I had sex everyday at least once a day, the only day I didn't was one day recover from having 2 long sessions. Prices are lower right now because of Venezuelans coming in which the Colombian girls hate, they all trash talked them to me, LOL. There are lots of annoying vendors, I ignore them no matter how hard they try to talk to me. It doesn't*bother me too much. These people are just trying to feed their families, what you spend on one meal could feed their whole family for days. Everyone keeps saying how there are no gringos here, it's all Colombian tourists. Went to Playa Blanca for half a day. It was dead. I wish it was cooler here and wish we had putas in the daytime. Cartagena is a very touristic city, nice to see once if you come with your partner for 3 days to take pictures but for a single guy or to come with bros its not super fun if your not fucking bitches. But I made good friends with many putas and Ill be back. My very first overnight is coming over. A 20 year old Venezuelan, long black hair with gold highlights, prefect teeth, big eyes, tan, natural body, no kids (rare). 500 for all night! Other girls quoted me 600-700 For all night, what a fucking deal, God bless America for USD. Are Venezuelans hotter than Colombianas? I think so, and so do many Colombianas.

Be clean, stay nasty.

It's a good source to compare prices and know what is available in Cartagena even though it's about a 20 minute ride from where I'm staying. At least I know what I want is available. I will use the prices listed to compare against Duty Free and I'll also use a fairly solid US price source [URL]https://www.totalwine.com[/URL]. Taking Don Julio Anejo for instance. It is $56 at total wine and $59 at Jumbo. Tax rates are about the same. However, I would incur the cost of a roundtrip taxi. I wouldn't think of traveling with liquor in my checked baggage under no circumstance, but if Duty Free is close in price I will just roll with it.

For anybody else that is curious, please note some items have a huge price difference. The price of Moet is crazy expensive in Cartagena. Almost 3 times the price in the US.

Taipei was bad before but now changed with cheaper prices. Problem is flights to USA do not allow to board with liquor bottles. Need to buy on landing and put in checked luggage coming back.

Looks like it was a good idea to visit the coast after all, and yes everything at the Clock Tower is seen by all, your every movement, every step, every chica you glance at, every chica you take back to your man cave, everything is open, the all seeing eyes, hehehehe.

I have been to Cart solo and had a blast in years past and also traveled with my Colombian buddy and that was fun as shit and also have taken a few paisas for a few days visit and that too was fun, we both know the paisa Shar* and we went in November 2020 and had a blast just hanging out and visiting some clubs, so again there is no right way or wrong way to play in Cartagena be it solo or with friends.

Did you ever make it to Bogota this visit?

The Tall Man.

Been here for a couple of days. Checking everything out and chilling back. Not really looking to score every night but I'm certainly not embarrassed to walk around the clock tower I don't care watches what I do. Girls are at a little bit early or 9:00 was fine they were a hundred. Mostly pretty hardened pros. But I didn't manage to find a nice soft Vemnie, barely knew what she was doing. I orgasmed her out con lengua one of the sweetest little pussies I've seen in a long time, name Genisis. Abd then hanged her from the rear hard till we both got off a mismo. Beach is great people are having fun, but it certainly is price you the Medellin and if you're just looking for chicas that a better bet. Had a very big grilled fish on beach at Boya place near Laguito, and Polo a Carbon is gone. Otherwise everybody is here having a lot of fun in the water and enjoying themselves it's a pain in the ass getting here but it certainly won't worth while being here. I don't have to score every night but I like to pick the right ones. I mean if you're looking for the hardened hooker type or even the beautiful model hooker type Friday and Saturdays at the clock tower starting around 9:00. Don't forget everything is pushed up now now.

Oh no I've got another 6 days here which is fantastic to get away from all that bullshit in the United States.

Hi fellow mongers,

Been reading the recent posts. Really helpful information. Thanks all for the contributions. Heading to CTG in March with a buddy our second time). Was wondering where I can get a nice "professional" massage? (if extras offered, even better). Also, if you have a favorite chica that you would like to share info with, please DM. Thanks again.

Sitting outside at coffee shop in Laguito. Beach was packed. Some American fools walking through the sand with the flat chested model from Torre Reloj, best ass in town, miserable walking behind. Assholes find each other. It's the party favors.

Other than that, a major party......tranquillo.

Lower price is because they they have already been screwed once or twice and come back looking for sloppy seconds or thirds.

When I speak of "masquerading" I am talking about the whiskey made in the USA but not in Kentucky that calls itself Bourbon. this is because bourbon has become extremely popular in the USA, but experts say that there is a unique lime content in the water where Kentucky Bourbon is made that gives it its smooth flavor. I am not trying to compare Scotch whiskey with Bourbon, they are two different animals

I'm trying to decide for a place to go this weekend between Cartagena, Medellin or San Jose Costa Rica. I have to say from reading each of the three boards, it seems like you all in Cartagena are having a better time. Do you guys agree? It also seems safer than Medellin. If I was to go there what hotel should I stay at?

Thanks in advance!

The Medellin girls are the best. But Cartagena has the beach and cool vibe. The only daytime action here is play a Hollywood and it's loud and Tony is a pain in the ass. And they also have this horrible music. The noise pollution actually drove me off the beach yesterday. Only to find a nice chica from Medellin. I haven't been to San Jose but I believe it's a big city so if you have to choose between that and maybe I go for Medellin. Best women anywhere.

As far as Playa Hollywood. Done with it till Tony goes. Just the awful bands and music there is enough to keep me away for a while

Years ago though I hit up the board on advice about the place and I was told that Tony has all the chairs that have the umbrellas but this about 7 years ago and things may have changed.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2534321]The Medellin girls are the best. But Cartagena has the beach and cool vibe. The only daytime action here is play a Hollywood and it's loud and Tony is a pain in the ass. And they also have this horrible music. The noise pollution actually drove me off the beach yesterday. Only to find a nice chica from Medellin. I haven't been to San Jose but I believe it's a big city so if you have to choose between that and maybe I go for Medellin. Best women anywhere.

As far as Playa Hollywood. Done with it till Tony goes. Just the awful bands and music there is enough to keep me away for a while[/QUOTE]Check out Oscar on Hollywood Beach. I have never had any issues with him or his area. He has the tables, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, ice and food. Good service.

Can you all give me an idea of the range of prices for different types of girls including day time beach girls, nighttime nightclub girls and any other type of girls like from a dating website or other categories? How much for a few hours in the daytime versus overnight? Thank you!

[QUOTE=KConstant;2528194]I recently travelled to Cartagena and returned to the US. Unfortunately, the new USCDC covid testing requirements came into effect a few days before my departure. I met this requirement by visiting Clinica Medihelp in Bocagrande. I took an antigen test for 170.000 pesos. Their website suggests that the results take 3 hours; however, in my case the results were available in less than two hours.

Clinica Medihelp: [URL]https://www.clinicamedihelp.com/[/URL].[/QUOTE]Thanks K Constant. Wanted to confirm if the Antigen test is sufficient to return to USA or do we need PCR test. I am traveling to Cartagena in 2 weeks and would like to have this information accurate.

Okay here is the skinny from locals. Tony doesn't have any chairs (or a few at best) at all he just acts as the middleman by hustling and intimidating. There was a set rate that they are supposed to charge for the chairs. He will spot mongers and upsell you on the drinks also don't buy him more than a beer, and then he will just keep on pestering you for money all day. Thats how he operates.

Tony flourishes because he speaks better English than most of them which isn't saying much
so stick with one of the other guys like Oscar right from the beginning. Do not let Tony get you a chair. He will claim you and ride you like a Cuban jintero. He got mucho pissed off when I dumped him yesterday

Just an update on the clock tower scene Thursdays and Fridays and curfew is 2 am Rest of the days is 12:00 pm Action starts earlier than it used to in fact at 9:00 the girl started coming around. But it's almost unbearable as far as the number of jockeys coming around to try to sell you stuff, like incoming every few seconds or minutes at least. So it takes a little energy to firmly fight them off. Can't hesitate with your no. If you look them in the eye or hesitate slightly they will latch on to you.

At times itwas almost unbearable but I had to hang in there to make my choice of chica. Last night I settled on a skinny one fton Medelin who had been eyeing before she's more of the natural type that I tend to go for and although I had to negotiate for extra BBBJ action, she like the other two ended up being quite crazy in bed and wanted to get hee rocks off. When these chicks let it go to that kind of crazy.

With all those hawkers may not be for everyone. Right now they are a little over the top. It's not at all dangerous like it El Centro in Medellin can be, but irs little on undaunting if you're not prepared or just want to relax

Everyone is quoting 200. You can bargain but I don't try. You may pay 50 extra for BBBJ. Just being nice goes a long long way. if you were looking to score with multiple chicks in a day you might consider Medellin

I've been asking around and everyone down there says its all open and like before. I've had apartment owners tell me I can bring back visitors but on their online ads they say no visitors due to covid. I've also been told the casinos are open.

Other than a weekday midnight curfew are things back the way they were? Anyone who is there or has been recently there care to comment?

1) Jintero doesn't mean anything in Colombia. They don't understand it,I picked the word up in Cuba and applies here --to the hustlers and hawkers.

2) I negotiated to deal with Tony a Playa Hollywoid 40 mil for the.

Chair which is too much but OK. Then another 40 for massage. So $25 bucks for long massage and chair. You can probably score a better deal with Oscar or whoever. Be careful where you sit because it can get really noisy and the really bad Beach accordian musicians are at this end of town. Especially when people from Bogota I want to have a drinking fiesta and try to sing before they fall down borracho.

Any mongers out there want to get together a hire a really cool boat for the day in Cartagena.

Any one interested in putting together an incredible party boating day where we have 6 to 8 mongers splitting the cost, we will have music and dancing and drinks and and live like a rock star, we will hire / invite 15 chicas with clothing optional.

This would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to just go wild for a day.

To do this right we need at least 6 guys, including myself, and each chip in probably $500. To $700. USD and we would have a blast, photos and video of the event. We are talking about a yacht and not some dingy boat hehehehe.

Of course we need to set a date for the trip and each of us commit to this. I will start to research the boat costs.

Any ideas or interest out there for such an event?

BTW. I did such an event about 4 years ago on a yacht outside of Santa Monica, California. My gawd the photos that I have are worth the price in themselves.

The Tall Man.

Got to town yesterday, lot of hoops to get here and long wait at immigration because lots of people forgot to bring a hard copy of their check mig and pcr and couldn't pull it up on their phones as there is a internet block in the room it seems. Finally got into town, it was busy, went to Delirum, place was empty round 730, then packed in about 5 minutes. Decide to go Colombian the first night, test out the doorman as it seems they have less issues and if you need any other party supplies they deliver the best. The doorman was very cool and told me not to worry, great spot in laguito on the beach, modern, renovated, overlooking the sea, I the apartment was just renovated, its one of those buildings that has a good rep on here. Not luxury but good enough. The night was a bit of a blur, but it was the good kind of blur. What a great place this is. Town is in full party mode, at least here in Laguito, people were up all night partying the in streets on their balconies, so much for curfew. People are wearing masks, but not in restaurants and bars. I was offered 180 an hour from the Venezuelans and 300 from the Colombians, but we found a fair rate of 500 for 3 hours. I spoke to a guy I met here before who is also here now and he is at a well known hotel and had no issues having visitors. There does seem to be a lot of wealthy locals here and not many international tourists, so maybe some of the super luxury buildings are being tight with their owners staying in house. As long as they have ID and are of age its fine. I think the rules are relaxing. Just wear a mask, I heard they are handing out fines. And the locals give you looks if you don't. So best respect the locals. Tonight hitting LDV after dinner somewhere. Hopefully this time I can remember more details of the night. So far my impression for anyone that has not been here before is don't worry too much, whatever you need seems to have a way of finding you here pretty quickly. Good to back in town!

To each his own, Ill get by with a smile and a polite refusal. I take the position that the mosquito is incapable of annoying the elephant, and in these countries, I am the elephant.

I want to think all the guys who contributed to this form. The reports and comments you've contributed have been helpful in planning my trip. This is my second trip. Though I really consider it my first. I was here in March 2020 had planned to stay for a month, however as soon as I saw that the virus had arrived in Columbia I left. I only spent two days at that time. I arrived on Friday and had the same experience going through immigration as Ktsrf. Prior to arriving I was stopped and had my documents checked three times. So under normal circumstances I would've been pissed having to wait because so many people did not have their documents available. However I was very excited to have arrived.

Because of my work and travel time I hadn't had any sleep for almost 30 hours. That's a long time for this old man. So once I got settled in the apartment I rented I plan to take a nap for a couple hours. Unfortunately couple hours lasted into all night and when I woke up it was 3 AM too late to go out.

On Saturday woman I met on SA came over. I thought we had a great time and she seemed to enjoy herself. We made plans to meet on Sunday. I only gave her Taxi money as she didn't ask for any money.

After she left at midnight I decided I would go to the clock tower which is only a two minute walk from where I'm staying. Soon as I stepped out of the building where I'm staying there was a very large group of people running and yelling coming up the street. Looks like a riot. Once they passed me I started walking, but then they suddenly turned around and ran really fast. Evidently they got into some big fight with someone who was injured seriously. They rounded the corner and stopped at delirium. Didn't think it was safe to walk past them. So I stayed a block away watching the action. It took the police about 20 minutes to show up. Then took them a little while to clear the area. So I finally made it to the clock tower. Walked around a bit saw a couple good looking ladies, however having just had my brains screwed out and thinking I was going to have a repeat session later that morning I did not partake. However for some reason she flaked on me on Sunday.

I had a good dinner at Buena Vida Marisqueria. I went there wanting to sit on the rooftop however because I didn't have a reservation I got a table on the ground floor. Wasn't very crowded and sitting near me were two very beautiful young ladies. Dressed very fashionably. The one facing me has beautiful legs I couldn't stop myself from taking long stares at her. She noticed and then crossed her legs so I could get a better view of her thighs. After a while she put her legs down and spread them what a beautiful site. I'm sure she was thinking that she was giving an old man a show and she did. She got me warmed up for what was coming later. After dinner headed to the clock tower. There were a lot more people then the night previously. Also see many police officers, it didn't look like they were doing much other than standing around. After doing a couple of a walk arounds I just stood in one spot. After about 10 minutes beautiful woman approached me. Now I don't speak any Spanish, and she didn't speak any English. Have a translating app worked great. After we chatted for a bit her friend came over and they asked me if I wanted to take them to their hotel. Ended up 300 mill each for 2 to 3 hours. Game on! Turned out they were both from Venezuela. Instead of their hotel we went to my apartment. We had a great time. After three hours curfew had passed. I asked if they would stay until later in the morning and how much it would cost. They told me 400 mill each. I negotiated down to 400 for both of them. I hardly remember everything that happened I got so wasted but I know I really enjoyed myself. The only downer was they decided to leave early. It appears that even during curfew you can call a taxi to take you to wherever you want to go. They wanted to go to a party. They kept on calling me their boyfriend and that they were my girlfriends. After they left kept on messaging me through WhatsApp to remind me how much they loved me and what a good time we had.

When I woke up this morning the apartment was a mess. This place has over a dozen towels, every single one was used. Beer and whiskey bottles, food trays all over the place. Took me an hour and a half to clean up. Now I'm going to have to find a laundry to wash everything.

Can't wait to see what adventure awaits me today.

Sorry that this report was so long, I'll have to try to shorten them in the future.

Nice report Quim. Very informative and well written. I have been to Cartagena several times but not recently. I have stayed in hotels and AIR properties so interested in how you found your apartment. It appears from your description that it was private access and you had no issues taking chicas back, obviously since you arranged an all night threesome. My last stay I had an AIR apartment on Calle Moneda only a few blocks from the plaza but other times I have stayed elsewhere. My other last visit, I also recall that I stayed in Getesemani but that was too far a distance from the main plaza action.

For my next potential trip during this upcoming June, it's possible that I may be able to stay with a friend at the Hotel Santa Clara, probably the most upscale hotel in El Centro, where he has reserved a double suite. However, as we both are fully aware, there are no visitors allowed here and they are quite strict about this rule. Several years ago, I went with chicas on more than one occasion from the plaza to a cheap short term hotel, which was of the poorest quality imaginable with barely any running water and dingy as can be. I think it was called the Tropicana. Ironic to have a very nice place to stay but have to resort to doing the deed at a dump. On another visit, I stayed at a halfway decent place only a few minutes from the plaza but can't find it on Google maps now. I believe it was at one time called either Mar why Playa or the Indio or something close to those names but they had to change the latter as the name was too close to another nicer hotel in ElCentro. It was one flight up from the street and had several interior rooms with an additional two rooms with small balcons overlooking the Calle. I know sometimes that chicas used this hotel for short term romps judging by what I used to see in the hallways of the hotel.

Is this apartment an AiR unit where you are staying? I was thinking of finding a cheap hotel for short term assignations for my friend and I, which both of us can use but unclear if these establishments still exist in El Centro?

Any suggestions from other board members gratefully acknowledged.

Originally wanted to stay overlooking the beach. Found this place by accident. I always checked visitor policy under rules of the house. If not mentioned, I would message the owner asking specifically if I could bring guests. And telling them that I won't have parties. Interesting enough this owner said no problem with visitors, but after booking a note was made no visitors. I made a copy and also bookmarked his msg say visitors were ok. It's been absolutely no problem. It's in a building with many other units. The guard leaves nightly at 9 pm and is off on Sundays. I have my own keys to the building. When my SA girl showed up the guard took her temp and sanitize her hands. No asking for ID. He's been very friendly. I believe that timekeeper 4444 mentioned the same building but different apartment in a previous posting.

Those hunnies around the clock tower usually will settle for 200-300 k all night, heck I've had some take less, like would agree for 150 k for an HR or two and end up staying cause we're drinking and having fun. Especially if late since they know they won't get anyone else. Never pay the immediate asking price, they will try you to see if you know going rates. It's obviously not an honest business and no honor or pride in it, hence you need to do your part or they'll take advantage. Yes we're all from the states and we all have dollars, but those precaution believe it or not are for safety too, and other obvious things like messing it up for the next dude LOL. Now those two vennies will walk away when I low ball, or they'll call you first before accept mine LOL.

Instead of paying 1 Million total for both, you could've paid 500 k total for both easily. Also when you make a deal for all night, be sure to confirm what time they will leave, and if they leave early, deduct from the amt. Don't be a target for being an easy gringo.

Is this place like a Gustos. What can I expect to be charged for a TLN. Sorry don't have time to go back and read LOL.

I don't know if the chica from SA has a different arrangement with you but she might have flaked because you didn't give her enough the first time. Word to the wise, it's not complicated. You don't need to negotiate, just make an offer 150 k-200 k is more than enough. 90% of the chicas will take it.

I personally prefer to have the dialogue ahead of time.

Hey buds.

Was in CTG last week for 9 days. Everything is pretty normal in Centro. Lots of chicas by the Clock Tower, but I was wifed up with a caleña and didn't partake. Getting the negative COVID test to return back to the US was a breeze. Huge thanks to the gents who posted testing sites here.

I really suggest more guys use the AirBnBs in Manga. Most of them don't have doormen and it is still so close to Centro (8 mil pesos). I did it for a few months last year and I had chicas running in and out with zero hassle. Will definitely return in May.

I'm looking at June / July for Cartagena right now.

Yesterday, I checked the AIR BNB site and noticed several reasonably priced and attractive units in the Manga area. I also noticed that under ‘House Rules’, several of them did not ban guests/visitors — Make sure anyone contemplating an Air BNB rental to review this section. That being said, I was not familiar with this barrio and noticed it's a bit further out from Getsemani so I guess a taxi is the best way to get back from the plaza later in the evening.

It does seem too far to walk with a P4P in tow. What is this barrio like overall? Does it have the appearance and vibe of El Centro and do a lot of local people still live here? Are there any decent restaurants or bars there?

That is a long effing walk. But by taxi, it's 5 minutes to the clock tower (ignoring the early morning traffic). The neighborhood itself is really quiet. I didn't see a bar there, but some decent restaurants. There is a Chinese restaurant, Emperador King, run by some Chinese folks that has some great fried chicken. A grocery store is nearby. All in all, very walkable there and completely safe and absolutely no touts. Loved staying there. It is a locals neighborhood. Most of them are middle class Colombians who go to work in the morning. I had never seen this, but outside the tourist spots, the Taxis operate almost as a carpool in the mornings with folks sharing rides to go to work. Met some great people doing this.

It is less touristy than the neighborhoods in the Old City (San Diego and Centro are behind the wall while La Matuna and Getsemani are just outside the walls to the east of them). It is also less touristy than the beach neighborhoods of Bocagrande and Laguito. Cartagena is a port city and Manga is home to the decent size cargo port where there is also a cruise ship dock. Manga is also home to a marina with some nice looking average size yachts. When I first started visiting Cartagena Manga was just residential but then over the years it seems like there have been more apartments for rent and hotels opening there.

Seeing how it is a lot of residential people I would strongly suggest going beyond just checking the rules on the Air Bnb web site and suggest messaging the owner to as about having visitors in your place.

From the center of Manga to say LDV is a 30 - 45 minute walk. Definitely further than any chica wants to walk, and also have to consider the heat and overwhelming humidity.

So I am looking for some inside info. This is why I am on the forum. Google can give you general information about a place or neighborhood but in this instance, there is very little information about this area. With Covid, things have changed worldwide. The restaurant or bar you see on a map may no longer be in business. There may a new place that opened, whether it's a coffee shop or a bar that is not listed in the map yet. Someone else sent me a helpful response that it is a five minute drive to the plaza from Manga. Someone else said it's a 45 minutes walk to LDV? All that is good to know so then I know the approximate cost of the taxi too and not to walk (in general). Thanks to those guys.

As for you. My 'title' says it all.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2536683]From the center of Manga to say LDV is a 30 - 45 minute walk. Definitely further than any chica wants to walk, and also have to consider the heat and overwhelming humidity.[/QUOTE]Definitely, it's no more than 45 minutes, but people should be warned to not do it at night, unless very familiar with the place. Things change, and COVID may have changed Cartagena after my last visit (Feb 2020), but to put things in the right perspective 15 years ago an Italian living in Cartagena was killed just because walking out of the walls at daytime (Parque Olimpia), while in recent years it was totally safe to walk for hours at daytime along the P. De Heredia for kilometers. I would not do that at night, though.

By the way, is there anyone on the board who knows the casa managed by senora Carmen behind the Institucion Educativa Pedro de Heredia at Alcibia? I was used to go visiting her for many years, walking back to Centro (1+ hour) after the visit. Some 3 years ago, her phone number stopped to work. I did not go to check, if she's still living there or what.

I am in Cartagena right now. I'd be happy to get together with anyone who's here as well. Thank you to mojo bandit for all of his invaluable suggestions. I'm working off of a phone so forgive me if there's some mistakes here. I went to see Tony on the beach. He wants 200,000 plus 30,000 tip. There are lots of nice girls on his Beach. You could go over to them yourself and just say Hello,. They probably have to give tony a commission anyway. Most of the ones I spoke to were from Bogota. They're all very angry at the government. I know there is an interesting scene at the clock tower late at night but by then I'm fast asleep. I'll have to go at least once but not right now. I ate dinner tonight at ricquisimo's. I had baby beef which I thought was awful. They're supposed to be a lot of Venezuelan women around but I haven't seen any or at least none that I identified as such. Another issue that you probably should know about is that the exchange rate on the Internet is 3600 Colombian pesos for each dollar but the exchange places only give $3,200. When I use my credit card amazingly I get almost 3,700 so that's a really good rate but you can't use credit cards for everything. My friend has a female friend in New York who is from Cartagena Colombia and she said the way that she does it when she visits is she wires herself money and then she can pick up at the bank at the high rate exchange with no fees. I'm skeptical because Banks live to charge fees but she swears up and down that there's no fees. There doesn't seem to be very many tourists here but it doesn't feel empty either. It's a relaxing place to rest and there's plenty of women of all types. I also sent about 60 messages to women on the internet but I haven't had time to follow that up. I would meet some of them for lunch at crepes and waffles and get an idea who they are. There are a lot of opportunities to meet women of all types. Spanish is an absolute necessity.

Cartagena Colombia is much more expensive. Many of the women in Cuba will spend all day with you or basically moving if you want because you are living in such luxury and you can take care of her nicely. In Cartagena Colombia they generally leave pretty quickly. The women who seem to come from Bogota pretty much exclusively clearly more sophisticated intellectually than those from Cuba. The Colombian women seem extremely straightforward and honest. Cubans of all types are deceptive although they won't steal off of your table. But everything they say and do has to be looked at with complete and total skepticism. It's much more relaxed and relaxing in Cartagena Colombia. In Cuba you're in a military dictatorship. To be near the women in Cuba you're living in areas with many low-income people who are pretty close to desperate. Even high income areas in Cuba are filled with people who have virtually no money even if they have very valuable houses. The whole atmosphere there is a bit surreal which is certainly an adventure if you're up for it. But cah Cartagena is much less politically charged and much more stable and that makes things much simpler and happier.

No other mode of conversion comes even close. Some banks charge a fee, others do not, there is an app called hero ATM, which will give you that info. I would avoid using credit cards there, you are more exposed to CC fraud. Cash is king. Good luck.

He asserted that the changes in mongering as far as the chicks are concerned is due to the internet. After reading what you wrote, I pretty much agree with that. Mongering in Brazil and Dominican Republic and Philippines and Thailand before widespread internet, was just how you described Cuba to be today. Cuba does not have internet like that, which is why I only went once. But I guess I sacrificed internet for having cheap GFE as a given. If they ever let the internet take over in Cuba, you can say goodbye to the great days of mongering there, the same as we have had to do in these other countries.

[QUOTE=CubaTourist;2537118]Cartagena Colombia is much more expensive. Many of the women in Cuba will spend all day with you or basically moving if you want because you are living in such luxury and you can take care of her nicely. In Cartagena Colombia they generally leave pretty quickly. The women who seem to come from Bogota pretty much exclusively clearly more sophisticated intellectually than those from Cuba. The Colombian women seem extremely straightforward and honest. Cubans of all types are deceptive although they won't steal off of your table. But everything they say and do has to be looked at with complete and total skepticism. It's much more relaxed and relaxing in Cartagena Colombia. In Cuba you're in a military dictatorship. To be near the women in Cuba you're living in areas with many low-income people who are pretty close to desperate. Even high income areas in Cuba are filled with people who have virtually no money even if they have very valuable houses. The whole atmosphere there is a bit surreal which is certainly an adventure if you're up for it.

Riquisimo is not that good. And Carbon de Palo is no more. So really not sure where to go from meat. But if you want a nice little seafood place try El Bony on the beach. The waitress can be a little confused with the food is very good especially the grilled fish. Probably not a good idea to go after 7: 00 pm. You will find the Venezuelan girls at the Clock Tower and Hollywood was pretty sparse. Much fewer girls than previously, but there was action at the clock tower even at 9:00. Best of luck. If you want to get a nice massage go to Hollywood and ask for Emily or Luz.

My best advice is to really just enjoy your trip and don't worry too much about getting laid-- it can be really more trouble than it's worth. It takes quite a bit of energy to find the right ones in that clock tower scene can be a little overwhelming....and you never know what you're going to get to you get the girl back in your room.

You could go over to them yourself and just say Hello,. They probably have to give tony a commission anyway. Most of the ones I spoke to were from Bogota. They're all very angry at the government. I know there is an interesting scene at the clock tower late at night but by then I'm fast asleep. I'll have to go at least once but not right now. I ate dinner tonight at ricquisimo's. I had baby beef which I thought was awful. They're supposed to be a lot of Venezuelan women around but I haven't seen any or at least none that I identified as such. Another issue that you probably should know about is that the exchange rate on the Internet is 3600 Colombian pesos for each dollar but the exchange places only give $3,200. When I use my credit card amazingly I get almost 3,700 so that's a really good rate but you can't use credit cards for everything.

It's a relaxing place to rest and there's plenty of women of all types. I also sent about 60 messages to women on the internet but I haven't had time to follow that up.

Interesting to hear your remarks about Sprint and Verizon not working in Colombia. For years, I have used TMobile and that service has worked for me in the past in Colombia but it has been several years since my last visit. However, Sprint acquired TMobile (or was it the other way around?) last year so I am now billed via Sprint. Supposedly, this deal happened in part so they could combine their networks with the international deals they had made with foreign telecom companies to share their towers etc.

If Sprint does not work, I would have to resort to a local SIM card so no big deal, just a minor inconvenience.

If your unlocked cell phone has GSM 850 and 1900 bands it should work in Colombia. A CDMA phone will not work in Colombia. In the US, both Verizon and Sprint use CDMA. An unlocked GGSM quad band phone is a good choice for Colombia and other countries. Dec 29,2014.

I deliberately disabled my American cell phone so I wouldn't get one of those huge bills that they talk about every once in awhile on the TV. Is there a way to keep your American SIM card active without getting a big Bill? What I've been doing is disabling the American phone and using a separate phone with a Colombian SIM card. In Cuba getting a SIM card is a huge thing because they're afraid of people plotting a counter revolution but in Cartagena it was very simple I just went to the first internet cafe near the apartment and asked for one and then also bought a 5 gig got a plan with unlimited phone usage and texting for 15 days for 50,000 pesos. If there's any alternatives to this I would love to hear it. If anyone's here let me know and we can meet for lunch or whatever.

Jet Blue changed my flight and now I arrive on a Monday instead of Wednesday. Fortunately, I can work remote so after about 1/2 pm I can get out and about. I might even work from a Juan Valdez if the internet connection is good.

Has this ever happened to anyone? I got the BS covid excuse from Jet Blue, but to not have ANY other options than to go two days early? I can understand adjusting the hours some, but this pissed me off. Initially. It's less than $100 for the two additional nights of lodging and then whatever I spend will basically be the same as when I'm at home. I get to ease into my vacation and not run the streets too crazy as well as spread my chicas out over 7 days. I'm not expecting much for Monday and Tuesday since it is typically the slowest days of any mongering destination I've visited in the past.

[QUOTE=NeilGeorge;2537136]Verizon and Sprint phones do not work in Colombia. Incompatible with the Colombia network system. Yet Verizon tried to sell me their "Travel Pass" which did not work. Not even working with wi-fi.[/QUOTE]Maybe your Verizon phone is incompatible with Colombia's networks but not all phones that people buy from Verizon are incompatible with Colombia's networks. I have been with Verizon for 15 years and I can make my current Google Pixel work anywhere in the world. Many other phones bought through Verizon will also.

This is literally me copying and pasting a post I made only 2 days ago, with small modifications.

Over the years Verizon phones have changed but it still depends on the actual model of the phone, I used Verizon for years and my phone would be useless in Colombia. I had a cheap Chinese Galaxy clone dual SIM I used to carry down there. It did not work because not only does / did Verizon us CDMA technology but Verizon had them locked. Then when Google made the first deal with Verizon to sell their Google Pixel Phone they required that Verizon sell the phone "unlocked". Google was also selling the phone themselves in their Google Store so each phone is made as a multi band to work on any network. Now other phones have followed and I am fairly sure that all phones made by major manufacturers that sell through Verizon are multiband and work on most networks. Google Pixel phones also have the capability of being dual SIM because they have an eSIM capabilty, so when I am traveling I can keep my original number in case people at home are trying to contact me, and I download an eSIM from Google Fi to use when traveling because they do not charge for roaming and the data is reasonable. This is really handy if you are traveling to more than one country. I am posting an image of the description of a Galaxy S21 5 G, Apple iPhone SE (2020), ad the cheapo Galaxy A01 . According to this article linked below, Verizon only demands that your phone be locked to their network to the first 60 days. This article also addresses how to get it unlocked.

All that being said, I am not going to argue with someone's reasoning of having their primary phone locked up for your lifeline and carrying a burner monger phone. It is a safe way to go.

I personally do not worry about it being my lifeline though because everything that is on my phone is also in Google's Cloud, as with anyone who has Google email etc, if I lose my phone I can wipe it clean from Google Chrome browser on any computer. Deactivate that phone from my Verizon account. Then I can buy any Android phone, new or used, activate it with any service provider, as long as it has a factory reset, log into my google account with my Gmail and that phone will download and set up exactly the way the phone was that I lost.

One more thing that may sound silly but should be kept in mind is this. It is your screen time out time, This is especially true in Medellin where people are known to run by and snag a phone straight from your hand. When I am traveling I keep my phone at the lowest screen time out, 15 seconds, make sure your settings lock the phone at screen time out also, I am not sure they all do, anyway now all you have to do is give chase for 15 seconds to be sure your phone locks, if you are chasing that fool isn't going to focus on keeping that screen alive, and then will not have access to your phone and everything under the sun that is on there like Google Pay or Apple Pay etc. I am sure that I would give at least 30 seconds chase to be sure, and obviously you do not necessarily have to catch them, but just keep them nervous enough to not focus on that phone.

I would suggest to anyone that wanted a travel phone to go online and find a phone that works on Colombia's networks. According to medellinguru dot com -.

[URL]https://medellinguru.com/cell-phones/[/URL]#text=The%20 GSM%20850%20 and%20 GSM, will%20 not%20 work%20 in%20 Colombia.

"The GSM 850 and GSM 1900 bands are used in Colombia for cell phones. If your unlocked cell phone supports GSM 850 and GSM 1900 bands it should work in Colombia. Most noteworthy, a CDMA (CDMA Only) phone will not work in Colombia. ".

For people that travel between multiple countries I suggest finding a phone that advertises as dual SIM and "quad band" or "global phone" etc because these work in most countries.

Or do what I do and see if your phone is compatible with Google FI which gives you flexibility to work in every country without roaming on the data, and just make free voice calls through Wi-Fi.

Lastly if a person is traveling between different countries and wants flexibility, if you do the research on compatible phones they could look at buying a used cell phone that is compatible with Google Fi, cost for service is 20 USD per month for service then 10 USD per GB data, there are no contracts so I cancel after one month, the advantage is no matter which country you land in you can use the same SIM and at most have to turn your phone off and on to lock into a signal when you land in a different country, I have used Google Fi in the Colombia, UK, Mexico, France, Spain, and the Czech Republic. The last three all in the same trip and the same SIM.

Last night was first in Cartagena. I ended up staying at a place by the clock tower so ID frequently walk around in that area. I've never seen such creepiness, straight up ghouls will start walking with you just mumbling to themselves. I actually stopped and asked a guy to leave me alone, that I didn't want or need anything, and I just stood there mumbling and wondering what I might need or where I might be going. Later I gave one 10 yo 'kid' 10000 COP because it was his fourth time approaching and walking with me. Told him it was "too leave me alone for the rest of the night. " he might've taken it wrongly but I doubt it, you cannot give these people your attention in any form. Next thing I knew there was a guy on a bike encroaching upon me, and a taxi with the driver leaning halfway out the window to offer me stuff. It was from a movie. Told the kid "what'd I give you 10000 for?" he goes "10000 is nothing, pizza costs 20000 and I have brothers / sisters. " Another guy then approached me on foot and I looked over and saw a pub bouncer right there so I just stopped and let the goons walk off. I went into the pub.

Helplessly looking like a tourist and travelling alone is NOT a recipe for success here.

Aside from that, went too paraisa del marino last night and holy shit was it popping. 40+ hot girls looking fire.

I had a really sketchy night overall but one dude I met on the street said he'd take care of me and be my guide. Actually followed through on his word. I did end up getting him and a bunch of people idk 3 rounds of beers, which all in ran me $90 which is a bargain for a sense of safety. Thing is, idk if I can really trust the guy.

Anyways, what's up tonight?

Interesting posting by John Wick.

I was at the clock tower tonight because I wanted to see what was going on there. There's a lot of women almost all from Venezuela mostly pretty hardcore. They all are selling sex by the hour.

There's also a lot of men walking around trying to get you to go up the street with them and then ask you for money. The problem is these men don't have a market Niche strategy. Say what you want about Tony he is providing a very valuable service her people who are looking for that service. These guys have nothing to offer and they're not sure who their market is and even what they're selling. So I would just tell them no and follow that with another no and then soften a bit and say no thank you and that usually was sufficient.

Don't ever actually engage them in any discussion and certainly never give them any money. It will only encourage them to be more aggressive and if they can come close to you they can pick pocket you or even mug you. Of course The logical question is what is the relationship between these men wandering around with nothing to sell and the women wandering around with something very obvious that they're selling. Are they boyfriends and girlfriends or are they even all from the same country? I don't have any idea. I spoke with several of the women but none of them really appealed to me at all. At about 10:00 they moved from the square in small groups toward la dolce vida. Most of them seem to go into that club where some of the others in the same area.

Of the women I took their phone numbers, pretty much all of them texted me later that evening so it doesn't seem like any of them found a guy. Actually they're not looking to find a guy they're looking to get money. I don't mind helping women out but when it's only about money it's not really very enticing.

But getting back to John Wick, of course you should get rid of that tour guide immediately and probably move out of the old city which is just loaded with scammers and hustlers of every type. Just to see what was going on I stopped a fruit seller, to ask how much a 2000 peso papaya was going for. 10,000 he proudly told me.

[/QUOTE]Most of the women working there are lucky if they get one customer a week. This is what a chica said to me when I asked how often those women find work: if they are very good looking once a day during normal times, and more than one a day if Cartagena has a lot of tourists. Then she said if the woman was average she would get one or two a week during normal times, and one a day if its busy. If the woman wasn't very good looking she would get one or two a month during normal times, and maybe once a week if Cartagena is busy.

You don't need any guides or to talk to anyone at the square or anywhere else. Something I learned early on is they are unnecessary middle men. You can talk to the chicas directly. You can book your own place. There are plenty of tourist stores that sell tickets to all kinds of attractions. You can ignore all the touts trying to get a cut by reselling you what is already there.

[QUOTE=CubaTourist;2537883]Interesting posting by John Wick.

10,000 he proudly told me.[/QUOTE]Ha. In my case it was a she, today. 10000 COP for some mangos. I asked her if it was a special price for me.

Good advice my friend. I appreciate it. Actually very wise to say "no, no no thank you," but maybe after having tried ignoring them. It really is some kind of rule out here.

Don't say I didn't warn you because I did.

[QUOTE=JohnWick2622;2537768]Last night was first in Cartagena. I ended up staying at a place by the clock tower so ID frequently walk around in that area. I've never seen such creepiness, straight up ghouls will start walking with you just mumbling to themselves. I actually stopped and asked a guy to leave me alone, that I didn't want or need anything, and I just stood there mumbling and wondering what I might need or where I might be going. Later I gave one 10 yo 'kid' 10000 COP because it was his fourth time approaching and walking with me. Told him it was "too leave me alone for the rest of the night. " he might've taken it wrongly but I doubt it, you cannot give these people your attention in any form. Next thing I knew there was a guy on a bike encroaching upon me, and a taxi with the driver leaning halfway out the window to offer me stuff. It was from a movie. Told the kid "what'd I give you 10000 for?" he goes "10000 is nothing, pizza costs 20000 and I have brothers / sisters. " Another guy then approached me on foot and I looked over and saw a pub bouncer right there so I just stopped and let the goons walk off. I went into the pub.

Helplessly looking like a tourist and travelling alone is NOT a recipe for success here.

Aside from that, went too paraisa del marino last night and holy shit was it popping. 40+ hot girls looking fire.

I had a really sketchy night overall but one dude I met on the street said he'd take care of me and be my guide. Actually followed through on his word. I did end up getting him and a bunch of people idk 3 rounds of beers, which all in ran me $90 which is a bargain for a sense of safety. Thing is, idk if I can really trust the guy.

Anyways, what's up tonight?[/QUOTE]

I put this in my blog but just to be thorough I posting in each city report thread.

Here is a chart that shows city by city testing locations, type of test and test costs. As well as turnaround times.

[URL]https://co.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/103/COVID-Testing-Locations-in-Colombia.pdf[/URL]

In Cartegena on Cra 6 in Bocagrande the Urgent Clinic will give you antigen test results in a couple of hours if you go back as well as a printout which comes in handy. My understanding is that they are open 7 days a week 24/7 much you might want to double check that with them. Please note different airlines may require different tests although an antigen test is all it is required by the US. You need the covid test results and the imig form filled out online to get back out of the country

I RTFF but couldn't find what is the going rate to have a woman spend all day for several days? Per day.

TIA.

[QUOTE=Quim77;2538901]I RTFF but couldn't find what is the going rate to have a woman spend all day for several days? Per day.

TIA.[/QUOTE]Not many people do this, I personally have done this a couple of times but it was after I had developed a rapport with certain chicas. Most chicas would certainly rather not do this because they would obviously rather spend time partying / hanging out with their own friends, or they have kids and no babysitter. They would rather make a quick score for some cash on an ST. But even considering all this it certainly is possible to find a chica that would do this. I myself would never pay a chica more than what I consider the TLN rate for spending all day with me, 400 k COP. For several days you may be able to negotiate something lower YMMV.

The general warnings about bargaining with chicas for any long term situation are as follows, First she may just start getting on your nerves after the first little while, second she may try to get squirrely about the arrangement, like maybe she spends a little time with you then says she has to run home to check on her baby and then you do not see her for a while, etc etc,. So most people I think would recommend that you first start out at shorter times with a chica then I would just gradually increase the time with her to see how it works. Then I would also make sure that she understood to the detail exactly what the expectations were for the arrangement. You certainly should not pay upfront, you might pay as you go along but never upfront. If say you agree to pay her such and such amount of money for a certain amount of time, and you do not get the details down about her being with your most of that time and you think maybe then you want to not pay her what you said, then problem with getting bad service and not wanting to pay is that she can call the police and raise a stink, so you need to cover yourself in everyway you can.

Seeking arrangements is a website you might consider using where you can contact chicas ahead of time and be communicating ahead of time so that you might come to more understanding then some chica you meet in the usual P4 P venues, but I can't testify to any personal experience with that, maybe some other BMs can.

Can anyone give me any advice for Love Motels in the Walled City or Boca Grande? Feel free to PM me and thanks for the help!

Well I haven't seen much evidence that they're on drugs, they like to party and they don't want to stay in one place for too long. They like to come over and do a little drinking with you and have sex they love to have sex. If they don't want to hang around all day having long conversations that they have to decipher in less than perfect Spanish that you speak. They would rather go out clubbing or travel around or whatever it is that they do. So for those reasons short time is almost universal unfortunately.

You can see my old reports if you go far back into the thread pre-pandemic. If you have a nice place, aren't too bad to look at and have chemistry they'll try to move in. I think I have this experience because I learned not to "negotiate" a rate or anything ridiculous like that. Just show up. Be cool. Give them some cash after sex. I usually give them twice the going rate if they spend all day or night with me, and only 200 k if its short time. If you immediately start asking about all day rates and shit you'll end up with a very bored chica who just wants the money and will leave as soon as she can.

Pre-pandemic I had a regular Venezuelan who would get upset if I didn't fuck her until sunrise. I had to get her to agree to leave at a certain time because it was too much.

Unlike Cuban you probably won't be her first American she's ever seen or had sex with. The Cubans are still a little intrigue meeting Americans. Back in 2015, Mr. Gogo and I will they only Americans I seen in the area. Our Cuban guy friends were quick to tell the Chicas we were from America. Hell they lied and pretended to be Americans because they felt Cuban women Treated foreigners better. Many Cuban chicas have the mind state that maybe you will Recruit them as your girlfriend and take them to financial freedom.

Cartagena chicas are pass that idea. They see foreigners as a way to make some quick money. They are not trying to leave their country or looking for you to take them to financial freedom. Unlike the DR; they are still known for giving you what you paid them for sexually. Meaning Overall business transactions are better on the average with no alternative motives. Colombia chicas as well as their country are more modern than both the DR and Cuba.

[QUOTE=JohnWick2622;2537768]Last night was first in Cartagena.[/QUOTE]Honestly, after reading all this, if I were living in CTG I would move to Centro just to chase you and squeeze out some money from a helpless first-time tourist.

- You have given around the impression to have no clue where to go.

- You have given 10 k to a kid (If I want to help a street kid there, I'd give no more than 1k or 2k. After giving 1k, you will be surrounded and chased by a swarm of his friends, who have seen you give money. Imagine if they see you gave 10 k and pass the word around.

- Totally pointless the idea to offer drinks to a "new friend" and his friends. Spending $90 for that (hoping for what back?) is simply crazy. You should not spend such an amount to offer drinks and have fun with a bunch of girls, imagine with that group of guys. Now they have passed the word around. Avalanche effect. Imagine ten times more people chasing you from that night on.

If that was not enough, in these COVID times I cannot imagine a tourist traveling to Colombia to have fun, disregarding the risk to get sick, or however the risk to get stranded in a foreign land, for example (but this is not the only case) because found positive the day before the flight. This means that currently:
a) there are less tourists;
b) there are more desperate people in need of cash to sustain themselves and their families;
c) hence there is more pressure of desperate people on tourists.
You have put gasoline on a fire burning high already.

However, mistakes are useful when they become lessons learned. Good luck!

[QUOTE=Cuba Tourist;2537883]These guys have nothing to offer and they're not sure who their market is and even what they're selling. [/QUOTE]
They do have a market niche! They know they are going to meet some helpless tourist who will give them money in change of nothing, sooner or later. They don' know WHEN they will meet him, but they know they will, if they are patient. It's like fishing.

[QUOTE=Cuba Tourist;2537883]But getting back to John Wick, of course you should get rid of that tour guide immediately and probably move out of the old city which is just loaded with scammers and hustlers of every type.[/QUOTE]
Very wise advice. The strongest reason is that now those scammers know the prey. Like sharks they will swarm around the prey, detected tasty and easy and reported by word of mouth around the square.

I'm debating taking a chica with me to Isla Baru. I figure since she has a better command of the language that I would let her negotiate with the touts on the beach. I will have a general idea of prices so that I'm not completely in the dark. Is it a good idea to let the chica bargain for me?

FYI, I set up a colombian cupid account for kicks. I'm getting what seems to be good feedback. I may splurge on a platinum membership since it is only about $20/ month. I've read the pro's / con's of making arrangements prior to landing, but I'm intrigued by the possibility of building a rapport with a non / semi pro and possibly spend a couple days with her if the initial meeting goes well. I have about 4 more weeks to test the waters.

Of the five most popular mobile networks in the United States, Sprint, Verizon and Virgin Mobile use CDMA. T-Mobile and AT&T use GSM.

The same goes for any other mix of device and carrier that you can make out of the CDMA and GSM list from above.[/QUOTE]This is so gross (technically speaking)! Imagine if T-Mobile and AT&T were still so technically prehistoric to be stuck with GSM and not have moved to 3 G or 4 G (both can use CDMA).

ANY decent modern phone today is multi-standard and multi-band. It means it can connect to the best (highest capacity) network available among all signals received. Likewise, the same phone able to connect to say a 4 G LTE network in a country, where some set of bands is allocated to LTE operators, will be also able to connect to 4 G LTE networks in another country, where another partially or fully disjointed set of bands is allocated to LTE.

Many years have passed since the old times when there was the European GSM and the American GSM, and most GSM phones were dual-band but not four-band, thus able to work in both worlds.

The only case of lack of compatibility is when the device lacks a specific band, which damn is the only used by your operator in the country you visit. It happened to me with my 4 G mobile wifi router in Ecuador, which was not able to connect to 4 G because the band allocated to 4 G operators in Ecuador was one of the very few missing in my device.

The only possible reason why "you can't use a Sprint phone on a T-Mobile network, or a Verizon Wireless phone with AT&T" is that those phones are locked and do not allow to connect to competing operators, regardless the type of network.

[QUOTE=Kafka;2537343]Riquisimo is not that good. And Carbon de Palo is no more. So really not sure where to go from meat. [/QUOTE]As you say, Riquisimo is not bad, but just ok. No way I would waste my dinner reward there (for me a relaxing dinner in a good place is the reward of the day, and anticipates the thrill of the unknown future of the night).

I am surprised that on ISG many members report it as the place to go, as one of the best places to go to eat in CTG. Years ago, I was used to say to my local friends that Riquisimo was a place patronized mainly by "gringos y putas". All ISG members, maybe.

On the other hand, Carbon De Palo is much better! I recommend it for dinner, if one wants to stay in Bocagrande and is too lazy to move to Centro. The ambient and dishes are of an upper category vs. Riquisimo. Good meat on charcoal grill. Yet, definitely not a place I miss when in my country I dream about old times in CTG.

If you want a good dinner, go to Centro! Best meat for me is at Quebracho, parrilla Argentina. Also there, expect to see gringos with their siliconized putas pretending to be a novia, but the quality of the dinner is high. I recommend not only the steaks, but also the sucking pig cooked on wood for hours (home speciality).

I have reported all this many times:

[/QUOTE]She won't be that helpful. You need to understand the mindset over there. There are two important things about it:

(1) Everyone has a right to work. Don't fuck with how people earn money. That's why you rarely see restaurant workers chase away vendors who bother people on patios.

(2) You're an endless money machine. She probably thinks beyond what you're giving her you have the ability to give 10 x more.

I mean she could be helpful and negotiate but the touts will resent her big time if she helps you too much. Generally, chicas won't want to go the extra mile and have to deal with the repercussions.

The way to do this properly is to get a tout to arrange things for you but only do this if you're going big. Getting your own boat etc. Then he can be your waiter too. My tout, when I take a boat out to Cholon, will go to the restaurant to order food and negotiate everything including his cut from them. We bring our own alcohol. I then give him a tip after we're done. This only works if you're going to be spending anyway.

Otherwise get used to getting fucked a little. Ask for the price of everything, keep all the bottles on you until the end so you have an account. You can also insist he write things down and take your own notes if you want. I've seen people do that.

[QUOTE=AlwaysHorny2;2539178]Everything is probably not on the menu. Chairs, cups / ice, massage, jet ski. I also might not want to move from my chair and elect to have someone grab those items for us.[/QUOTE]There are set prices for all that stuff. I think they add 10% for service at the end.

You make the assumption that the chick is a good negotiator or even a negotiator at all; or is even aware what the prices should be. Look at all the guys on this site that for whatever reason will not even negotiate with chicks. They just pay the price they are given.

I had a chick over the other night. She called a taxi and hung up and said they will be here in 10 minutes. I said how much did they say it would cost? She did not ask. So she was just going to hop in the taxi and pay the price he gave her. And this is a normal chick, not a hooker. You have to be careful not to give them undue credit. You could end up paying more than you would just going at it alone.

You can find some prices in the article in the link and it also has a number you can call if people at the beach try to rip you off and charge more than these prices:

In Spanish culture men take the lead in negotiations. You should negotiate knowing fully well you are still going to pay the gringo price. Talking to few people will get you an idea about the approximate price. Do not make her uncomfortable asking her to negotiate for everything.

Only real girlfriend will do that. My Chinese GF negotiated everything when we were together and toured everywhere. She also knew to go to the airport and get the cheapest price at the check in counter rather than booking ahead. Many a time they upgraded us.

I do not know if you will be successful in finding a fun girl who is non pro. It is not Thailand or Philippines. Better to meet and stay together couple of days before taking any trips together. Unless there is mutual love it will be boring.

[QUOTE=MongerHunger;2539204]This topic has been discussed so many times and recently. I do not understand why people don't want to take the time to locate this openly shared in this forum.

Please RTMFF.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=CubaTourist;2539413]I subscribed to Tinder last night to see how that would be in Cartagena Colombia because one of the girls I met told me that she met most of the guys on that site. One of the girls I matched with emphasized what a good girl she was and insisted that we meet not in the lobby of my apartment building but in a restaurant or somewhere else public because of modesty issues. Then at 4:30 am She sends me a series of texts which wake me up tell me she won't be able to come this morning because she had to work till 4:30 am And she was just going home. What seems to have emerged is that she works at one of the fancy clubs in town as an escort! So sometimes what you do to find "nicer" girls doesn't always work out. I do see that some of the women on Tinder have as their statement right under their photo I am not an escort![/QUOTE]I've been to Cartagena for many many years and let me give you a good piece of advise. Stop looking online. Go meet them in person. They are on the beaches. They are in the old city at night. That's all you need. There's more pussy there then you will ever be able to fuck. I'm going to be arriving myself soon and already have two chicas I regularly fuck lined up for my first couple of days.

[QUOTE=BlackPage;2539134] Best meat for me is at Quebracho, parrilla Argentina. Also there, expect to see gringos with their siliconized putas pretending to be a novia, but the quality of the dinner is high. I recommend not only the steaks, but also the sucking pig cooked on wood for hours (home speciality).
[/QUOTE]I most definitely would like to try this place. Is this it in this image I snipped from Google Maps?

Searching places on the list, I found this.

Yippie, yes I totally agree that in person is better than online. Since I'm a newcomer here I thought it would be prudent to try all possibilities. Tinder was $30 for the month so if I did meet some nice woman it would be definitely worth it. I paid $90 for seeking and I met at least one really really hot woman who's just finishing up nursing school and so that was definitely a good investment. That girl says she meets guys primarily on Tinder and secondarily on seeking. She's not on the beach during the day because she's in nursing school and she's definitely not at the clock tower which is considered beneath most women dignity. On one hand it's kind of nice to have my phone dinging at all hours of the day and night I feel that all the women in the city want me. On the other hand it can be a tremendous amount of work and a lot of energy that you shouldn't have to spend on a vacation. But it's nice to have options and now I feel that I've tried most of the available options.

Does anybody own an apartment in Cartagena and if so would you share your experiences of what that has been like.

[QUOTE=CubaTourist;2539594]On one hand it's kind of nice to have my phone dinging at all hours of the day and night I feel that all the women in the city want me.[/QUOTE]But the real case is that they are dinging your phone to get your money. You do realize that right? Yip is saying that you are trying to take the stairs down, around, and back up, when you could just hop on the elevator and go straight up. Don't make it more complicated than it is.

Mr Entertainment, yes I understand. I went to the tower tonight and I did find a really cute Venezuelan. It's taking me about 10 days to figure out the ecosystem. Thanks everyone here for their help.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2539450]I most definitely would like to try this place. Is this it in this image I snipped from Google Maps?[/QUOTE]Yes. I do not remember the color of the wall outside, because I always went there at night, but you cannot go wrong. The name is "Quebracho Parrilla Argentina", it is in Calle Baloco (Google Maps gives Cl. 33, but taxi drivers know the traditional name).

Calle Baloco is the same calle of La Vitrola, which is maybe the most overpriced restaurant in Cartagena (many girls self-assessing as top girls will suggest you to take them there), good, classy, but really not worth the price. When you take a taxi, tell him "Calle Baloco", and add to leave you near La Vitrola. Walk 50 meters and you are at Quebracho.

As you read in my past posts, linked in my most recent post you liked, at one block you find Cuzco, which is my favourite restaurant for dinner in Cartagena. It's a extremely good, classy, and priced correctly. In all my stays in Cartagena, lasting 4-5 days, I was used to go to Cuzco 2 or 3 times! Search my name and "Cuzco" in this thread for details. Enjoy!

However, I am the one who reported nice times spent at the casa of "Carmen" in Alcibia. Anyone here know the place and know what happened to her? Her phone is not working since 3-4 years. Maybe she changed number, maybe she's not hosting girls at her home anymore. I promised myself to go there on foot to check the place in the last years, but I never did. As someone wrote today, there is more pussy that what we can fuck, so I lost motivation to spend one hour to go there and see if the family is still living there.

[QUOTE=CubaTourist;2539413]I subscribed to Tinder last night to see how that would be in Cartagena Colombia because one of the girls I met told me that she met most of the guys on that site.[/QUOTE]Stop wasting your time playing online and go walking around. You will be overwhelmed by girls, and you will choose based on mutual chemistry instead of being lured by a good photo. Real persons are always different than photos.

[QUOTE=BlackPage;2539727]Stop wasting your time playing online and go walking around. You will be overwhelmed by girls, and you will choose based on mutual chemistry instead of being lured by a good photo. Real persons are always different than photos.[/QUOTE]I actually love using tinder in Colombia. Yes I agree with what you are saying, but I have had tinder apartment dates numerous times. They show up at my place, we share some booze and weed, play music, have fun for 15-20 min to lighten the mood and then fun for an hour naked maybe 2, and then I go to the beach or to get eats.

I love this day strategy and then I would hunt at night and often the same ladies would text me again for repeats. Also, I found it cheaper and expectations were firmly set ahead of time. I usually spent 150-200 k instead of the night disco pricing.

Also, the girls act a bit more classy when they show up maybe as if they are nervous or dreaming of high expectations dunno.

Anyway, there is no wrong way as long as you are enjoying your time and getting what you want out of it.

Great advice Black Page. When I'm in Cartagena I love nothing more than walking around and finding that girl and I have found some good ones. One night I found two at the same time. Great times. Hope to make it back done soon.

Seen the video below on YouTube, whilst trying to see how hot the girls looked in Cartagena.

[URL]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UTHWSWJIKRc&t=49s[/URL]

If you skip to 2.55 he starts talking to a girl, who I consider hot, for prices and she quotes him 300 k for ST and won't down to 200 k.

Are you likely to get girls this hot down to 200 k ST or do you usually have to sacrifice on looks a little bit?

Also are the girls of this quality going to be much more expensive on average from Dolce Vita / Space and Delirium?

Thanks for any answers in advance.

Well I arrived in Cartagena for the second time in three months. Coming through customs was a breeze I love the system that they have set. It was me and my man T. T was With me when I first went to the DR. He hadn't been out the country in five years so I was happy to get out. He didn't want to go to DR this time and I was cool with that because I just came back from the DR last month. We chose Cartagena because we are allowed to have a night life there. With the curfew starting at 2 AM and ending at 4 AM; we are able to enjoy the club atmosphere.

We settled at an Airbnb that was in the same place I had last time. Airbnb $50 for a 2 bedroom. I paid $80 last time but I had a much better view, A bigger balcony, and smart TVs in every room.

Started out with my repeat from last time. T wanted her so I told her to bring a friend. She had a picture of a gorgeous Venezuelan. My mouth begin to water. I love the Nu Nu.

Once they arrived this is no good T immediately couldn't keep his eyes off the Nu Nu. He pleaded with me to change. I showed you five different pictures and you pass this girl by. You pleaded with me for her friend and I gave her to you. Now that I got my mouthwatering for a Nu Nu; you want to change your mind. My reasoning didn't matter his dick was hard. OK I'm going to give you this one but you owe me two Big favors.

We all smoke a little and cut through the chase. These chicas were relax and not in a rush but why hold them hostage? I had my chica before so I thought I knew what to expect. She really turned up this time. She asked me how long have I been in the country and I told her this was my first day. She went to celebrating. I asked her why she said because she was the first girl that was on my mind. Only the best gets the first.

My goodness her BBBJ was the best I had in my life! I'm getting hard just thinking about it. Trolling amazing. It was like between eight and 12 licks I was about to come. I had to plead with her please don't take me out this way. She showed little mercy.

Boy did I return the favor. I worked her. She stayed wet. T said he didn't know who scream the loudest.

When I finish she was in the living room sitting on the couch. He gave me two thumbs up. His nickname is Mr. 2000 pumps. Ever since we were teenagers the women in the neighborhood identified T as being extra bless. His blessing can sometimes be a curse. T says any woman can take it but only few can handle it. Those few love it. The chica he had loved it. He said it's the best sex he has had in 20 years. He said she took it all and more. Damn I'm kind of glad I didn't pick her. We gave them both a 200,000 exit fee.

[QUOTE=GrownMan1;2540098]Started out with my repeat from last time. T wanted her so I told her to bring a friend.[/QUOTE]1 million chicks in the city. Why does he want the one that you had? Then you get another chick and he wants that one? Why can't he just pick his own chicks?

I was like that a long time ago in Rio. Me and my boy were in the fuck club and I wanted the chick he had. So we ended up all going to the room together. After I skeeted on her face she tried to kiss him. That was 2003 and we talk about it to this day. Those were the mf days!

Photos: same club but different chicks

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2540119]Why does he want the one that you had? Then you get another chick and he wants that one?
[/QUOTE]My partner is known for doing stuff like that. But I will say if he had a chica and I asked him to share her he will ask her if it's OK without any hate in his heart. We did it many times before. He doesn't love them hoes.

You skeet in her face and she tried to kiss your man? Damn.

Is not having hot water that big of a deal? Is the cold water really cold or lukewarm? I know it's going to be hot and humid does cutting off the AC help make the shower more comfortable? I have my spot booked, but thinking of switching because of the water issue.

I do not understand why these people would have AC and no hot water, al though I guess they are used to, I had chica over once that would like I had become sort of fuck buddies with, I mean I would give her some money but like 150 k for three days, anyway once I tried to get her in the shower with me and she wasn't having anything to do with that hot shower and it wasn't even as hot as I like it.

In my opinion if I could change that apartment I would. Cold shower is misery to me. I am not that picky on the whole, clean sheets, hot water, AC, hell with my Google Fi plan I do not even sweat Wi-Fi over hot water. Don't get me wrong I usually have Hot Water, AC, Clean sheets, laundry washer and dryer and that's what I need. Nothing has to be fancy it just has to be clean and everything work.

I found a guest friendly loft in Centro that has a good price, very nicely renovated, hot water, wifi, and of course close to the action. But doesn't allow smoking. Many places don't allow smoking. Many places have checked the marks, but no hot water. A balcony is nice, but only necessary if I can't smoke inside the unit. I'm on vacation. I need the place to allow smoking. I have a nice place, balcony, seems like comfy bed from reviews, decent wifi, guest friendly. But no hot water. It is what it is. I guess I'll cut the AC off and hope the shower actually refreshes me! LOL.

We went out to the clock tower about 9 o'clock. It was kind of active for Friday night however we didn't see anything that really moved us. We went to the club the delirium. Nice girls inside but I really don't like pulling chicas from the club.

The next day I called up my Venezuelan. Once again T wanted my repeat and didn't want her friend. This time when they arrived I knew he wasn't going to change his mind. T loves his girls slender and she was just that. Her friend who was a little thicker was OK. We smoked a little and cut through the chase.

The chica tried to give me a CBJ. I told her I dont do CBJs. Other than that the sex was pretty damn good. I gave her 150,000. I told her I'm saving 50,000 for someone who's going to give me a BBBJ.

T on the other hand struck gold again. That Slim Venezuelan was a dick taking monster. T who catches hell in the Dr with getting good service; couldn't believe he went 2 and 0 without a problem.

Later that night we went to the clock tower however I couldn't find anything to really grab my attention. I did talk to a good prospect but she told me $100.

T found something and I negotiated the deal for 200,000. A pretty slender Colombian. I must say these girls have pleasant personalities. Though they charge you by the hour they're not clock watching.

Once again T was amazed at her performance. All he could say is these girls love big dicks. I told him it might be the case but she charge you the same thing she charged us less gifted.

Tell you boy T I thought I was the only person walking around calling it a curse. Yes in DR it can be a curse. You win some, you lose some. No telling who can take the the. But in Cartagena, I didn't get not one damn complaint or I can't, I can't. They try it and they do enjoy it. Been to DR about 10 times and my boys always clowning me when a chica walk out the room saying the curse strikes again. Been to Cartagena 2 times now and I prefer it over DR and it's preliminary that reason.

Also tell him about My Size and Super Pasante King condoms. He'd appreciate those.

I repeat man down LOL Sounds like she had your toes curling like Eddie Murphy off boomerang LOL. Wouldn't be surprised if she had you sucking your thumb afterwards. Remind me of a chick I met online when I briefly worked in Tx couple years back. She was a 21 year old fatty that was nothing special to look at but she could suck a golf ball thru a waterhose. I be driving down the highway with the truck in cruise control and she be giving me head as if the fate of the universe was at stake if she didn't get that nut. A full months worth of skeet erupted in her mouth while driving and she swallowed it like a champ and kept going without hesitation. Damn near tear drop from my eye as it was a supreme feeling from head to toe. If every man got head like that the world would be a better place. No question.

Lost contact with her as I'm still beating myself for not keeping her closer to me and losing touch. So whenever you find those type of chicks, the ones that gives SUPREME head you put that broad on payroll. I'm serious. I HIGHLY recommend you keep that one close and just randomly send her a few dollars from time to time even when you're not in the country. She'll greatly appreciate it and make it a point for her to stay in contact with you, even thru whatever her current situation will bring (phone get lost, new boyfriend etc) and when she see you, she's going to suck every last drop of your dna and keep going til you pass out LOL.

And when they experience hot water for the first time, well they will then stay in the shower for half an hour, at times me joining in, heck they even get up at 4 am and take a hot shower.

Of course these are more the barrio chicas from the higher barrios in the mountains of Medellin, where the air temp is colder than the valley floor. Just in the past 3 months I have had about 5 different chicas enjoy the hot shower.

I have had costenas over for longer stays in my apartment, these are from the coasta areas of Cartagena and Barranquilla and they prefer to take cold showers although hot water is readily available.

Most of the information is ok but there are some points to correct:

* Legoros, Avenida El Bosque or Liquezos Club this is the same club the correct name was 'ligueros' and now its name has changed to 'Penthouse Disc club' and yes its located In Front of the Purina Dog food plant for taxi reference.

* Luxor, Avenida El Bosque: Closed, no longer exists.

*La Isla Night Club, its name changed now is 'Nexus' and its more like a gay club but you can find girls here also.

* Angeles Club, Diagonal 22: temporarily closed.

*Isis, Carrera 6 # 35-10: temporarily closed.

*Allondro, Calle 31: correct name is 'Alondra'.

*Empana, Calle 31, (Av. Pedro De Heredia): correct name is 'La Mampana'.

As you should know since I understand that you live here, in Colombia we manage social classes by strata from 1 to 6; 1 and 2 poor class, 3 and 4 middle class, 5 and 6 upper class.

In short, people from strata 1 to 3 (most of the girls who offer sex for money belong to this rank) will know very little about hot water in the shower, it is also a matter of saving costs.

In cities like Medellin or Cali, it is not so essential, much less in cities with hot climates like Cartagena or Barranquilla, but if we talk about Bogotá, things change.

Most people in Latin America use passive solar water heaters- ie black storage containers on the roofs. Even first thing in the morning I've never had water colder than about luke warm. If you want all the comforts of home, go to Miami- and pay those prices, too. For the record, there are plenty of hotels and AirBnB's in Cartagena with plenty of hot water- you just can't rent them for $11 per night.

Hey Fellas,

Doing some recon work and was wondering where in Latin America to find ladies with a similar build to the ones on this site below. Looking for big ass, tiny waist and wide hips.

Curious were the dude on this site find his models. I've heard Colombia and Venezuela are my best bets. Obviously not going to do Venezuela but per Colombia, which cities and where would be ideal for this body shape. I know most of the other women posted here are more on the slimmer side even when curvy. Interested in any intel.

The only thing I have ever seen mentioned is to avoid the Christmas Holidays as the chicas are going to be with their family during this period, also probably true around Easter. In summer I think there may be extra college chicas from other Colombian cities who fly into Cartagena to make some money, I have met chicas from Medellin, Bucaramanga and Bogota who said they are saving money for their college tuition in the fall. These chicas stay in apartments sometimes with a friend to share the rent. I have seen them walking to apartments in Laguito. With so many Venezuelan chicas and the locals and the chicas that fly in for a week or so to make some money, I am thinking the only slow times are around the holidays.

Chupa mi pinga? Sin condom? Tienes machete de burro, chica, quieres? That gets me by in Mexico or Az.

BBBJ?- Chupada o mamada sin condon.

Cum, load, spunk? = Leche or Semen for example: I spunked all over her face. LE eche toda la 'LECHE' en la cara.

Also we use the word 'Venirse' for orgasm or 'cumming' , for example: Me quiero 'venir' en tu cara. I want to come in your face.

The girls for orgasm say: Amor me 'vengo' - Amor me 'vine' .

What's the slang for anal sex BTW?

And shrimp I assume are camarones, octopus is pulpo and all the usual nouns?

My guess is there is zero chance that the Hyatt will allow you to bring in a non registered guest. I have a friend who stays yearly at the Hotel Santa Clara Sofitel and he has told me that bringing or sneaking in non-registered guests is strictly forbidden. This is true of almost all the hotels in El Centro and most in Bocagrande as well.

No book on slang is ever current- if it's in print, it's not cool, but not everyone you'll run into is cool, and they really don't expect tourists to be hip.

My friend has told me that the Santa Clara Sofitel mandates that if you book for two guests that the names and country of origin for both individuals are provided at the time of reservation. If you show up with someone with a different name, or without proper documentation, they will not allow that person to stay there. I don't know if the Hyatt is this strict but it's a tough situation there, especially in El Centro.

It's important to remember that many Colombians and South Americans in general who can afford to stay in these upscale hotels are quite conservative and do not like to be sharing the facilities with someone they consider beneath their class, or heaven forbid, someone of ill repute. I am sure there have been a few incidents in the past that has led to this policy as well.

One thing I like about Thailand is that you can stay at four sessions and they do not care who you bring to the room. They do keep the ID, apparently for guest safety.

Many of the hotels in Boca grande will allow you to register extra guests it just depends on what's your arrangement is with whoever you're booking but I specifically went to the palmetto elliptic and ask them about this guests are allowed but they have to be registered that includes chicas which are specifically mentioned.

Hello friends. Anyone can describe such a trip blow-by-blow?

I am newly interested in the South American region, attracted to what seems to be a very open and casual mongering atmosphere. My understanding is there is no need to worry about LE there since it is legal. And society seems quite open to this type of thing. I have been watching videos about the region extensively on YouTube. Good info, but of course, most don't get into the vital details. Hope the subject matter experts can fill in the blanks.

So, I get off the plane; take a taxi to my small hotel; check in.

Then what? Where do I go? Whom do I look for? What do I do? What can I expect? When do I pay? How much to pay?

The forum is set up for give and take, that is the ethos, its not like there isn't free information to be found here but even at the public library I cannot just walk up and say give me ten pagers on the life and death of Genghis Khan I have to swim into the books and journal and do research. What you guys are asking about is usually something that would be found in a thread called "Reports of Distinction" but to be honest there has not been a report of distinction for Cartagena posted in there in years. Though someone will from time to time post a thorough report about their adventure in Cartagena it goes against the ethos of this board to do so on demand, if people do this from time to time it is out of the kindness of their heart but it is not the norm. Right on the from page of the Forum there are a list of abbreviations among which is found RTFF Read The Fucking Forum, when many readers are responded to this way they seem to get offended but its not personal. But there is a reason the webmaster/administrator put the abbreviation there, it is part of the ethos, so to speak.

That being said read on:

A few months back this thread was so fucking slow because of Coronavirus that days went by and no one posted and it was so sad that I decided to see if I could stir up some curiosity from any lurkers that were probably reading the thread but had nothing add. I made two long posts given information about Cartagena, you should go now and read. They are currently on page 50 but that can change as more people post so if you can figure out how, navigate back to posts numbered 9921 and #9922. On page 51 in post #9908 I discuss what I know about neighborhoods in Cartagena.

I've literally read this forum backwards and forwards. Read to about page 200 and making my way back now. I'm at page 121.

It's an incredible amount of information being shared. I've made lists, copied certain paragraphs and saved links to reports that provided a great overview or nuggets of specific information that might be handy.

I've also messaged a few members and they were more than helpful. I think if you show some effort, it makes members want to help. You can come across as extremely lazy if not entitled, by asking someone to basically hold your hand.

What's weird is that you hardly ever hear back from these people and there never seems to be a trip report. Talk about all take and no give. Do some of these people even wind up traveling to that destination? I'm beginning to doubt it.

Here is a Map to help you know where you are:

[QUOTE=BJtemp;2543901]Hello friends. Anyone can describe such a trip blow-by-blow?

I am newly interested in the South American region, attracted to what seems to be a very open and casual mongering atmosphere. My understanding is there is no need to worry about LE there since it is legal. And society seems quite open to this type of thing. I have been watching videos about the region extensively on YouTube. Good info, but of course, most don't get into the vital details. Hope the subject matter experts can fill in the blanks.

So, I get off the plane; take a taxi to my small hotel; check in.

Then what? Where do I go? Whom do I look for? What do I do? What can I expect? When do I pay? How much to pay?[/QUOTE]

Thanks guys. I do look at past posts. But let's face it, our beloved site has not seen any change in 20 years; the site's antique design is not conducive to finding information. Sometimes I am discouraged to write reports myself because I know after maybe a few days it will be buried in a hundred-pages-long thread and never be seen again.

But still I write my reports, and respond to any questions I chance upon when I visit, because for the locations I am familiar with, it takes seconds to send a fellow tourist in the right direction.

For HK I can tell you to check [URL]www.******.com[/URL], or go roam around Temple Street late in the evening. Expect 5-600 HKD a pop.

For Singapore I can tell you to go to Geylang's even-numbered streets and promoters will drag you into their shops. 80-100 SGD for Chinese and less for other ethnicities.

For Jakarta I can tell you just walk into Classic Hotel levels 2 and 5. Going rate is 365000 IDR + tips.

For China I can tell you the country is in a 6-year long enforcement so everything is going underground.

For Taiwan I can tell you it's overpriced.

For Pattaya I can tell you no preparation is needed.

These take me seconds to share. In the same amount of words I tell someone to read past reports, I can give something more useful. Choice is clear.

I write longer reports because it's like a trip diary to me. Years later I can still recall my trips reading my own posts. It's not in response to anyone asking me to share info; nor do I care whether readers have done their homework. These are precious memories and trophies to show off; to me, the more people see my report the merrier. Check out these scenes from Jakarta Classic Hotel: [URL]http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?965-Jakarta&p=2444296[/URL]#post2444296.

Hope I have something to share about Cartagena in the future.

A group of my friends and I wanted to go to Cartagena and our preferred dates to travel would be April 23 to May 2. I researched and found out that on May 1, Labour Day transpires there. Being this day falls on the 2nd weekend of and last leg of our trip, I was hoping if anyone could tell me if there would be less girls, less action due to it being holiday? I undertstand from reading previous posts, it says to avoid certain holidays like Semana Santa or Christmas so we are concerned if it would be really bad. Any help appreciated by someone with experience.

Rare for me to login or post but been here two months now things have changed since I left here almost two years ago. I have updated the map as there is too many things listed I have deleted things to make things simpler.

Beach- Things have changed roped off areas for cabanas Tony number #1 has moved (see pic) West under the coast guard type hut in front of the Hotel Dann. Two chairs and tarpa are 20 mill total set my mayors office. Other beach touts are hustling to get gringos girls at the beach as well as I spend a lot of time there watching with the exception of FAO he doesn't do any of that only sits back watches his cabanas. Kiosko #4 (see pic) is where the action is or comes by at the most part on any given day from 2 PM till 5 PM when the beach closes, beers are 5 k no fee for table or cabanas. Assume are girls are working in that area. Beach days vary greatly day by day I love the holidays, I couldn't care less if girl is with her family or not it isn't like her mom didn't go to work when she was younger. Beach girl prices I haven't paid more than 150 mill for any as I haven't seen and super models it seems the quality from pre covid is down a notch but semana santa is coming soon and I expect it to get better. I always throw out the 80 k offer first before a girl gives me a price then if she demands 200 k I say two times no condom, this worked 100 percent of time so far for me, some complain big deal I am not their keeper, service isn't compromised in general. Be aware girls are on another level of stealing here now during covid, take extreme measures to hide your things, do not share a drink in your room or have a smoke with any of them. Keep in mind Tony has hundreds of girls in his phone if you are looking something special and can't find. No real need to get Tony or anyone else if you are paying attention girls walk by.

Edificios. Still be aware where you stay just because you messaged an airbnb host doesn't mean a god damn thing. Venezuala girls in a lot of buildings aren't let in without a passport and permission to be here from the Colombian government. To avoid this problem ask in advance these questions or know where Hotel El Viajero Centro is next to the LDV or Mar why Sol in Bocagrande. El Viajero is much nicer 30 mill short time, or make sure you stay in one of the approved chica friendly buildings on the map.

ISIS is not closed but their hours are very strange 11 pm Thursday through Saturday.

LDV was there 3 times good quality.

Clock tower not what is was pre covid touts annoying AF I chase them with brass knuckles they run off. I had them left over from living in centro MDE.

Pleyclub was there once the old manager from ISIS when it used to be behind Hard Rock cafe is still there, quality of girls little curvy or chubby for me.

Chica Linda is literally right next to Pleyclub now no need for cab if you are group of two is like 100 feet away. Chica prices and beers lot cheaper than Pleyclub.

El Mirador cafe and bar on top of Torre del Rojo hotel is good place to visit once to have beer (pic below) mostly gringos with boyfriends.

Was in Santa Marta Rodadero, and Taganga couple weeks ago avoid like the plague, beaches are blocked reservation only, Malecon and beach blocked in Santa Marta for construction actually is beautiful but I think 3 months out before opening. Bananas, Olds bar closed permanently, Parque de Novios not much to look at a complete waste of time going maybe a year from now be better.

Pics of Kiosko #4 where girls sit or go by after 2 PM, Tony, and Building Tony sits under front hotel Dann.

Well that is some damn good useful info. Thanks Hillbilly.

Hey all,

I was wondering how many people here have attempted to pre plan arrangements or meetings with girls say via tinder or another app? I am going to go in April and I am set on Cartagena I believe I will stay for about 6 days. I am new to the international scene and only on the sister site with SW and MPs. From what I've read I believe I will be getting a AIRBNB after reading the policy if I find one which is good with guests.

I forgot there are street walkers in Laguito everyday at dark not hard to spot.

If you want to avoid touts in Centro take a taxi directly to La Dulce Vita or Delirium, Space or Noname is a waste of time, Monkey bar is alright.

Santa Marta, Rodadero and Tanganga I don't know how to explain it other than I was watching out for Zombies as they all looked like ghost towns.

Sit on right side of Kiosko #4 at the beach after 2 PM as you are facing the water.

Another pic of Carrot top Tony.

Trying to integrate my map with the legend World travelers be patient.

Would you be ordering from Amazon before you went? NO one knows what Cartagena is like until they get there, know one knows what it is like to walk into a night club and its 3-1 chicks to guys and there is a full range of 7-9's and they will go home with you if the price is right, then depending on the night there might be another 75 in the plaza sanding around. These again you can walk around and talk to them and size them up. Where as if you get on Tinder (which some prostitutes use to do business. I am in my later 50's so when a young women responded I know she is pro) but Tinder is not really needed and honestly there is a good chance that the chica you are chatting with on Tinder is standing in the plaza or LDV while she is chatting with yoou.

[QUOTE=MiamiSammy;2544732]Not that familiar with that end of town, HB. Could you be more specific in regard to Lagunita?[/QUOTE]It will say El Laguito on the map and its I as far southwest as you can get in Cartagena . Looking at the map and see what I call that double peninsula (a peninsula with another peninsula sticking out from it) it is the far south west of the city as you can go on that double peninsula and find the lake. There is only one good pedestrian street running through Laguito. Just find the Hilton hotel is at the end of that street and then follow along the street that runs parallel to the ocean (Calle 1 B), the one that runs along the lake is not a good pedestrian street.

.[/QUOTE]Were these street walkers hanging in front of Atlantis and kind of between Atlantis and Mirador, there was some Venezuelans hanging out there on my last trip, I never hit them up because it was a short in-transient-to-Medellin stop over for a couple of days and I had basically wifed up with a little hottie I found. But then on my way back through from Medellin I met this street walker who lived in Manga but knew a chica that lived in Atlantis and so came over to scope gringos in Playa and Marinare. She mentioned the Venezuelan chicas and made me promise not to tell them she did BBBJ. Anyway I wondered if the Venezuelan chicas were staying in Atlantis? Do you have anymore info on that?

So can anyone confirm that Pley is open? Going there in a few weeks and I know things can change but is it open now?

I have one ruleand that is I do not hobby where children are present. If that means there's a group of people individuals where there are child present believe me people are watching. How do they know whwhat some gringo is talking about when there are children present.....? I was on park and some family with either teenage or younger girls motioned to me to come over---.. There is no way I am going even close to them.. the optics of this are just off the wall not good.... It's not about if maybe one of the girls is old enough it's about that who knows what you're talking about...?

I actually stepped up for us, and just called the Club now as I have an unlimited plan on my landline telephone to certain countries (VOIP). It rang and went to voicemail. But, their google map page (see screenshot) says it is open now and closes at 3 am. When I looked earlier this afternoon it said closed and that was at about 1 pm. So, there is a good chance it may be open. I will try again tomorrow night.

I would like to know how is the day time action at the beach compared to the clock tower or clubs like LDV or Delirium. Is it the same quality of girls? Are prices similar? If it's easy to get girls during the day, I don't mind resting at night and just focus on getting girls at night or just get numbers from the clubs at night.

Since many hotels are not guest friendly, my plan is just to book daily reservations in the same hotel, meaning 4 reservations for a 4 days trip. If I pick a girl at the beach I can have her registered while checking in for the room. I hate short time hotels. I rather bang in a nice hotel as much as possible and enjoy my 4 days trip.

Any changes in curfew? Did hours change in clubs like Medellin or everything still open? I think Medellin changed to 10 pm -5 am curfew started this week, any and all information will be greatly appreciated!

Ideally I would want the girl to show up at check-in which would be around 1 pm and come back when I leave the club at 2 am for example. Just trying to be creative.

The scene of the beach is very small compared to the Clock Tower and casual. Clock Tower can be intense and there are lots of ghouls. . beaches more low key since the pandemic.

Guys,

Just bribe the doormen. I typically stay in Manga or Centro. In Manga, I have an apartment with no doorman, but in Centro, I just give the door guy 50 k pesos when I arrive, and he lets me bring whatever girl I want there. These guys do not earn a lot and that propina will go a long way. I'm not sure if this would work in Bocagrande because I've never stayed there.

Has anyone rented from this building? The visitors policy is confusing. Guest until 10 pm, but if you come with a guest past 8 pm there's another process? Seems like no one will be on guard?

The condo I'm looking at is really nice and tempting me to switch my reservation. Plus I'm having second thoughts of having a place with no hot water.

Normally that would mean you're allowed to have guests but that after 8 pm You have to register them but less he has stayed there you don't really know what kind of policies going to be applied.

Are there any girl friendly hotels in Cartagena? Just read that Boca Grande area has a few chica friendly hotels. Thanks. Looking to go in May.

[QUOTE=AlwaysHorny2;2546673]I would suggest you make sure you have a clear understanding with the owner if you plan on having chicas back to your rental. There's too many horror stories in this forum. Personally, I wouldn't chance it.

On another note, I feel it's a violation of our rights. Who's to say that I can't get lucky with a non-pro? They are basically saying their country is rife with prostitutes and there are no good, decent women to be found.

This post is hilarious considering the contents of the majority of the posts in the last few pages. There needs to be a Cartagena Hotel and Apartments section or something. Oh, there already is, but it has not been used for over 1 year. Better to put your stuff over there so someone does not have to come along and start this same month-long discussion again next month.

Often hookers are known to security and obviously any security officer at the hotel will identify them in a second. So, my view is always to facilitate their way up into my suite and not argue if she were decent or not, they know.

Yup an old gringo with a hot 30 year old Colombian. The doormen have radar.

Can anyone who recently went there or very familiar with Cartagena please advise if the availability of girls will be far less on Monday to say Wednesday? I know Sunday night could be slow as well from reading. Do the clubs like Delirium, Dolce Vida, and the Clock Tower have enough possibilities during these nights? My wingman heard it was slower and quiet during the week. Any input greatly appreciated. If so, we may head to Bogota for a few nights. I prefer to not move around though.

Did you even read my question, LOL?

It's slower but usually choices available. But no guarantees. The scene in Bogata and Medellin is larger. It's not worth the hassle if traveling if you ask me...

Hey all,

Are all the bars and clubs open? Do they have an early closing time due to curfews?

I was in Cartagena last month. Chica pricers we’re higher than the normal areas however the curfew begin at 2 o’clock. That was enough time for me to enjoy the nightlife and all that it brings. I was also there earlier this year Monday through Saturday. I can definitely tell you Monday through Wednesday things are a lot slower however there were choices.
I will admit next time I go to Cartagena it will be Thursday through Sunday or Monday.

Anyone going there, prepare with the mindset that Monday to Wednesday is slow. Sunday is slow everywhere due to Church, and family day in Colombia. I will definitely post a report about the trip.
I am sure our best bet is Clock Tower but it seems I would want to grab a girl from there and maybe take her to the club. Are Delirium and Dolce Vita worth even going Monday to Wednesday to find talent ?
Also, to clarify the curfew is midnight on all nights except for the weekends.

By that I mean.

The hottest one may out one night not be back for weeks. I wouldn't go into either of those clubs not my style. But to each his own. My advise is to enjoy all the other aspects of the city. Getting laid is the least of the problem LOL.

If you have a domestic flight in the US its the worst.
Have your negative PCR test printed out and fill at the iiMIG form before you get to the airport.
Its better to be vaccinated, of course.
12 am curfew is not an issue for me. Late night bad things happen, always. But the curfew are enforced by city.......

Greetings all,

I had originally planned to stay in Medellin 4/9-4/18, however, due to the curfew in Medellin I decided to just stay in Medellin a few nights and then head to Cartagena for the remainder of my trip for obvious reasons. I figure with all of the work I did on SA and FB to set up some real cute girls I should at least swing through Medellin and say Hi to some of them.

Apologies if this question has already been answered recently but I looked back and couldn't find a clear cut answer. My question: Is there any restrictions or requirements to fly domestically from Medellin to Cartagena and then back to Medellin? Specifically, is there any type of Covid test requirement to get on a domestic flight? Just trying to be sure I plan ahead and am prepared.

Side note: If anyone plans on being in Medellin April 9-13 or Cartagena April 14-18 hit me up and maybe we can meet for a beer.

Cheers!

No domestic flight test requirements. Please report back

This looks like bad news is getting ready to hit Cartagena this article was written on April the 6th I'm writing this post at midnight EST so by the time both of you read this on April 7th they may have already announced the new restrictions. Shit just got ugly down there. They have strains of the virus now that are more contagious and more deadly so a greater number of people end up in ICU

https://www.eluniversal.com.co/cartagena/nuevas-restricciones-por-covid-19-en-cartagena-esperan-aprobacion-XM4439088

"This scenario led to the city's Intensive Care Units (ICU) occupancy going from 53% on March 26 to 69% on April 5, that is, more than 15 additional percentage points. The president explained that more restrictive measures will be adapted, but without paralyzing the city. The mayor explained that before announcing the changes, they must be reviewed by the Ministries of the Interior and Health, so it is expected that they can be approved no later than tomorrow. "It is still premature to say the measures, because they must necessarily go through the Ministry of the Interior, in Bogota, and they in turn pass it on to the Ministry of Health, we hope to make them known by tomorrow at the latest." - The mayor.

That article states that there is "rumor" or it says "audio" but I take it as a rumor going around that they are putting the city on complete lockdown, but health minister said that is a bullshit rumor (my wording not his of course) and the president has promised not to completely paralyze the city.

According to this article the hospital system in Bolivar had been filling up already from overflow from the surrounding departments of Sucre, Atlantico, Magdalena and Cordoba because "they previously declared the collapse of their hospital network" (I assume he just means over they overflowed) so this includes Santa Marta and Barranquilla. That is some fucked up shit.

I am going to throw out a crazy suggestion though, you can strike it up as crazy but this is something I personally would consider doing. If I was there and I got some time to be at say the clock tower because talk is very much looking like they are not going to allow the clubs to be open period. So I think I would start considering asking chicas not just for their Whatsapp number but also to see the last digits of their cedula , if they do end up starting that shit where certain numbers on cedulas determine who can go out on certain days then it would help to know which chicas to message on which days.

Also need to keep ear to the ground and see if they start breaking up the crowds at the Clock Tower then the SWs may move somewhere else.
