Announcement – Pussy House in Chapinero is still open! I went on Friday night and it was great. I asked some of the staff about it being closed and they said they had festivals for 4 out of 6 weeks and were closed on some odd days. I think that's where the confusion arose. Anyway.
This was my third of fourth trip to Bogota, but only the second during which I actively mongered. Some initial observations on the city relative to Medelllin, Baranquilla, and Cali:
§ It's huge! – 8 Million people.
§ Items overall seem to be a little bit more expensive.
§ There was a light drizzle for a portion of nearly every day. This has been a theme for every trip over the years with two being in June and one in May.
§ Uber works well, even better than taxis as half the taxis would get lost. If getting a taxi I suggest the yellow ones as they are metered and tend to be cheaper. The white ones are bigger, but charge their own varying rates.
I stayed at the Four Points Sheraton in the north. The taxi, which I believe was metered although I didn't see it, was 32,000 pesos. Overall the hotel was a decent deal at $85 as it had a very nice free breakfast, small pool, gym, and solid WiFi. The staff was helpful and they were reasonably girl friendly.
As noted by previous posters, Parque 93 is a nicer area and a great home base. It is not as vibrant as Parque Lleras in Medellin, but it gets the job done. There is certainly a lot of money in the area as I regularly saw Mercedes, BMWs, and Audis. And when you factor in the higher cost here and lower average wage those folks are several strata above others! The restaurants in the area were ok. Nothing special. If you're looking for a regular, fun crowd, Bogota Beer Company was always hoping and Juan Valdez (coffee) always had some cuties there to chat with or work next too.
Ok, on the clubs and girls. I really only had three nights and two days as I was coming from Medellin and had business meetings, so my apologies for the brevity!
En El Norte.
Norte Clubs – Thursday night.
§ Lido's Strip Club (Carrera 14 #95-33): My experience was in-line with others with 30+ girls. I did not see any dancing and the girls mostly lounged around on couches. It is a cavernous place with high ceilings. I felt a bit uncomfortable as it was fairly bright and girls just stared at me as I walked in (only 5 other girls there at the time). The girls looked like they had nice bodies, many enhanced, but looking at their faces you could tell they were more hardened. Prices: No entry fee. I understand it was a 150 k room fee and was told chicas start around 300,000. I understand they start at the high amount because they must pay 100 k every night to the club, and most have expensive cab rides from south Bogota. I did not like the feel of the place and only spent around 15 minutes there.
§ Lalo's High Class Inn (Carrera 15 #88-33). This place was smaller and a little bit darker, but still ample light. There was a bar to the front right as you walk in and then 20-25 girls. Better looking than Lido's in my opinion. The manager started talking to me immediately in good English which set off my 'watch out' sense. Prices: No entry fee, beer was 45,000+ tax (he said $22 USD total), a bottle to share with girl started at 260,000 (100), room for girl was $72, and then you negotiate with her (guessing 200 k-400 k). In short, a fucking rip-off. I asked the guy if had ever been to Spearmint Rhino (best strip club in Las Vegas) and joked that his beer prices were higher than theirs! This place was more comfortable, but the girls were not worth anywhere near what asking and I left after 15 minutes or so.
§ Bar Juan Pablo Zhivago (Carrera 18 # 93-56). This place was just down the street from my hotel, and actually at #93-56, not #93-46 on the map. As always, props to WorldTraveller69 for keeping those up to date. There were 12-15 girls and they all introduced themselves. Prices: Beer was 24 k, girls were 150 k in house or take out fee and were happy to leave for 200-300 k. I liked the feel of the place here more, but talent was a bit down from Lalo's.
Chapinero – Friday Night.
§ Pussy's House (Calle 61 #13-64). I enjoyed this place during a past stay in Chapinero. There were 30-40 girls throughout the night of varying shapes, sizes and colors. They were more natural girls and they seemed younger to me. At any given time there would be 4 girls dancing and you could sit right by the stage tipping them 2 k so the price was right. They also seemed happy to be there and flirted a lot with the crowd. Prices: Water 5 k, beer 6 k, beer for girl 16 k (in lounge area), bottle service started at 80 k. I understand takeout is 120 k to the club, but I found many girls that were willing to either leave with me at 3 am when it closed (so no exit fee) or sneak out earlier after they'the made some money dancing. I ended up with a beautiful and great performer for 200 k who met me around the corner from the club at 1:30 am. She stayed until 5:30 am and only left then because her phone was dying (or at least that's what she said ha ha).
Saturday. Day Time Massage in El Norte.
§ Mezzanine 13 (Av. Carrera 15 #104-03). This is on a corner and looks like a strip mall. Go up the stairs to the second floor and go around the back. You will find 4 extremely small massage / brothels, each with 5 to 9 girls. The cheapest is nearest ( 70 k for short time full sex) and the far one is more expensive ( 120 k for short time full sex). I looked at all 4 and there was no correlation between price and attractiveness of the girls although the girls in the last brothel were more dressed up (oddly in some sort of gothic way). I picked a younger girl in the second shop for 80 k (tipped her 10-15 k). The rooms consist of a massage table that is all of 5 ½ feet. I'm 6 foot and my feet were over the edge. The rooms are incredibly small (6. 5 ft x 4. 5 ft maybe) and the walls were very thin (you could hear everyone else! My shoulders literally brushed both walls of the hallway as I waked to our room. Not for everyone, but I got a full massage and full sex out of it for cheap with a 19 yr o.
Closing Thoughts.
§ Bogota is only really worth it if you're looking for up market girls and restaurants. Otherwise Medellin is preferred for multiple reasons.
§ Bogota had more availability on Mileroticos and other sites, but often girls were quite far away.
§ Bogota also has many more people with money (numerous high end cars), thus the higher end attractive girls can find Colombian boyfriends much more easily than Medellin or other cities. This means they do not need to go after expats like us for money. I also met a couple girls that mentioned they had regular boyfriends who were married, not uncommon in Colombia at all.
§ Definitely pack longer sleeves, a light jacket, and an umbrella. At night it got down to the upper 50's (cold for June) and it rained all 3 days I was there.
