Cucuta Colombia Trip Report.
February 2019 Cucuta, Colombia trip report.
The weather was warm in Cucuta that the temperature was about 90 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and about 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the night. The round trip EasyFly fare to Cucuta was about 100 USD from Medellin (EOH).
The layout of Cucuta is generally flat and I did not see the hills and valleys like the ones you see in Medellin. The Cucuta is located about 7 miles from San Antonio del Tachira, the border town at the Venezuelan frontier. I have visited this town because I was curious about the mass exodus of people fleeing from Venezuela. Near the immigration and the crossing bridge to Venezuela I saw that the place was chaotic with unorganized flee market vendors, long line of taxis, all types of people walking with their luggage and many young men with hand trucks eager to help the traveler with their luggage. There were hundreds or thousands of people waking and hustling in the dust that I literally could not walked comfortably without bumping on them.
The action to find the sex was located near the Cucuta bus station called "El Callejon" or "La Septima Avenida. " I've stayed at Hotel Mary located front of the bus station for the convenience as most bars and clubs were located in this neighborhood. The hotel rooms were cheap and clean but there were no hot water for the comfort. The better hotels were located at near the Ventura Mall, but for me they were too far away for the action. On the first night, I hopped on the taxi from the hotel and went to the high end club called Club Bahia which is situated about 5 miles toward the Venezuelan frontier. The chica price of Bahia was about high as Las Isla in Medellin. The girls were beautiful here but I did not liked the place because it was isolated from the other clubs and I saw no strippers dancing there. Later I've noticed that in Cucuta there were no strip clubs exist like the ones in Medellin.
Like I said before I've stayed at Hotel Mary in the neighborhood called "El Callejon" because most bars and clubs are located in this area. From the hotel I could walk to the bars and clubs so I did not need the taxi to visit them. Everyday for three nights I've went to Bar Villa Luz, Club Nueva Tijuana, Popoito, Bar Silencio, La Tercera. From here I've walked 5 minutes to Grill Las Colegas and Club Elite on the other side of route 70.
Most bars I've visited were blasting with deafening music and at the entrances there were bouncers inviting passersby hustling them in. Inside club, I saw that the layouts were similar to the strip clubs in Centro Medellin without the striptease dancers. Inside the clubs I saw the guys offering ladies drinks, talking and dancing with them. I found out from the meseros that the price to take the chica in the back room for the full service was about 35 k COP for half an hour. Price was so good that sometimes I took 2 or 3 chicas for wild sessions. In all these establishments I've visited I saw only the Venecas (Venezuelans) were working and did not see any Colombianas. Also, I found out that some of these beautiful girls I did the session were university students in Venezuela. Some of these young girls told me that they were majoring chemical engineering, medicine and law while mature ones told me they were business owner and restaurant chef.
Near the bars every evenings there were many street workers (all Venecas) soliciting sex. I was quoted 20 k COP for half an hour from most of them but I did not ask whether this included room price.
In the past when the economy was good the Venezuelan guys came to Cucuta looking for Colombianas. Now the situation is reversed that Venezuelanas are coming to Cucuta soliciting sex for money.
