Bogota Reports

I was in Bogota yesterday at my usual spot Hotel del Parque. I always pay COP 88,000/night. Well I had a non-pro come over last night from 3 to 5, and they added COP 40,000 to my bill. I like the hotel because it is close to Santa Fe, but I refused to be abused this way. I gotta find another crash spot.

[QUOTE=Bensark]Anyone in Bogota and up for going out this week?

I'm staying at Suites Real 97 on calle 97a. I have been here a few days and looking to hit the Zona Rosa night life this week w/c 4th.

Anyone up for doing the same email me.

Complain. Tell this this is totally unacceptable, you refuse to pay it, and if they try that sort of shit again you'll be moving out forthwith.

The Last time I was in Bogota there was a car bomb and a American got kidnapped, be careful, it is dangerous out there. Americans are not advised to go to bogota. The embassy says that it is dangerous.

Hi qb,

Room 311 at suites real 97 phone number 610 9700 leave a message, although Friday (tonight) is my last night, wasa around parque 93, ended up in sands after some beer lounge bar, nailed a 25 yr old from Barranquilla in the end.

Day before that ended up calle 82 in a bar turned club called Coconut or Cheers was a whole group of girls on an office party. I didn't pull. I ended up dancing with 4. They were they type that normally wouldnt be out in this area, no attitude types.

I saw the subject website and called, asked for Angeleca, she arrived promptly to my hotel, the front desk phoned, escorted her to my room and charged me a fee.
Although Angeleca looks OK in the web photos, she is unattractive in person, no pretty face, very skinny, no English. The site said 200,000, she indicated it was 270,000 plus 60,000 cab, I gave he 330,000. Between her looks and greed for money I was really turned off, she was very mechanical, after one shot she went to the bathroom and washed and left, I was glad to see her go. I had my camera with me, never even thought of a photo because she was such a disappointment.

I think if you stick to the Zona Rosa area I feel you are pretty safe, just always be aware of your surroundings like in any city.

This is my first time in Colombia and reporting as a newbie. Experienced mongers won't get much out of my reports but newbies might pick up a thing or two. I get very verbose on these things and sorry, there are no cliff notes.

Day 1:

We left on the morning of black Friday and got to the airport at around 5am and the line for Avianca was already 3 deep. Luckily for us, it wasn't too bad and we made it onto the plane without any problems. After a short 5 hr ride, we landed in Bogota at 1pm and went through immigrations without any issues at all. We noticed that the LEFT line was much quicker than the right. We did not chose wisely.

We decided to change some money at the airport and I was required to submit my passport and thumb print along with a bunch of questions. I've never been asked for a thumb print before. I can't believe I went through all that trouble just to exchange 200 USD.

Right outside of the airport was a taxi stand where we took an official yellow cab to Dann Norte hotel on the north side of town. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the Museo de Oro (Gold Museum) in downtown around Calle 16. Before we even got off the car, a beggar had already came up to the door. He would not stop hassling us but I've seen far worst in NYC so this wasn't anything new. The guards at the Museo de Oro stopped him from following us as we entered through a metal detector.

The gold collection was impressive but limited in quantity. IMO, it wasn't really worth it to stop by Bogota just to see the display. There were 3 floors and only the top 2 floors had anything. Across the street were many souvenir shops but nothing really worth picking up. We then walked around the area and there were tons of people on the streets as it was near rush hour. The cops normally traveled in groups of 3 and in a dark green uniform that resembles military uniform. There were some carrying rifles as I expected. We strolled around the blocks for a bit but there was really nothing to see so we hailed a cab and went back to the hotel.

For dinner, we went to El Sitio as recommended by the "Bogota List". Had I known Parque de la 93 was full of bars and restaurants I would've just had the taxi driver drop us off in the general area and walk around until we found one. El Sitio actually wasn't bad but I don't know if it is standard practice to frisk every customer that walks through the door. It was pretty empty that night but the food was decent.

After a full day of little sleep, we took a short nap before heading out to X VIP on the list. The place could not be found so the taxi driver took us to another place close by that had no name. We entered through the front and no one was there. After about 30 seconds, a girl came out and asked us to go in. I asked if we could at least see the girls and she refused. The spidey sense went off and we decided to bail.

Next the driver took us to 2 strip clubs in Zona Rosa. Again, these 2 places have no name. What's up with that? As we entered, there was a stage to the right and a water fall/pool on the left. The place was full of colombianos and lots of unoccupied hot colombianas as well. We decide to sit for a while and just relax. My friend wasn't planning on taking a girl tonight so just wanted to chill and enjoy the view.

We saw a total of 2 strip shows. The first girl was very plain and a disappointment but the 2nd was much hotter. Guys were lined up on the side of the stage I assume to take her after she was done. I figure this place was somewhat of a clip joint charging us 24k for EACH beer. Yet we were stupid enough to take 2 girls next door anyway for $150 USD for room + girl for 1 hr. My friend picked a girl w/ a very cute face and decent hourglass shaped body. I went with a typical latina with big silicone boobs. They originally wanted 300k + 120k for the room but we negociated it 150 USD. It was still too expensive but we went with it anyway.

The rooms next door were very nice and had a jacuzzi in the room w/ pr0n playing on the TV. The attendant wanted to charge 10USD for 3 condoms. REFUSE this. The girl will definitely have condoms. My session was pretty mechanical and probably the worst of my entire trip. She then found creative ways to continue to ask for more money which I refused everytime. This was a horrible start to a 10 day trip that I was really looking forward to.

After we got out, we took a taxi right infront of the club and it cost us 20k to get back to the hotel. I am certain that it should not cost more than 5k. If we ever return to Bogota, and that is pretty much going to be never, I would give him 5k and go into the hotel and have the concierge deal with him if he wanted more money.

This was overall a very poor start to what would turn out to be a great trip.

I wish. A while back grenades were thrown into one of the bars in the Zona Rosa -- where else can you attack foreigners and the wealthy with such ease?

Also its prime territory for drink doping: never leave your drink unattended or you might be asleep for a few days. This apparently gets worse in the run up to Christmas as folks get desperate for the money.

Nice report. A few comments:

If you change money you'll be ripped off. Head upstairs to the ATMs. Outside, left hand exit, reenter the terminal building, escalator on the left, at the top turn right and head about 3/4 of the way along to find a room full of ATMs on your left. Davidienda will give up to 500k in a single tx if your trying to minimise yr bank charges.

For taxis though, assuming you don't want to visit the ATMs, after bag inspection, head *directly* right. *Not* forwards into the seething mass and then right, but directly right. That's were the official taxi dispatcher is and you'll be asked your destination and issued a ticket with a plate number and price. Safer.

The place with the pool you described sounds like La Piscina, just north of the ZR. But they over charge big time. I was asked for 200k last time by an admittedly gorgeous girl very late on a quiet night. And much as I wanted to, I passed. That's 4 pops elsewhere, and my friend downstairs doesn't over concern himself with aesthetics.

My buddy and I will be in Bogota soon, so I really appreciate the detail in your report.

I can't wait to read about the places and girls who you do strongly recommend!

All advice on do's and don'ts is greatly appreciated!

For some reason we thought carrying an ATM card into Colombia would be risky. Now that we've been there, this is absolutely false. You are right in that we got ripped off with every USD we exchanged. When I got back I noticed COP never dropped below 2280 for our entire trip yet we never got above 2200 and most of the time only 2150.

We actually did hail a taxi from the official stand w/ a printed ticket. I didn't make that clear in the report.

Since we were only staying one night in Bogota, the plane tix were same price if we stopped in Bogota or not so might as well, I didn't put too much time in research. I just printed out the Bogota list and off we went. This shows how important research is before a trip! These things change so quickly sometimes that the information in the compiled lists could be out of date.

This apparently gets worse in the run up to Christmas as folks get desperate for the money.[/QUOTE]Guess I will just chalk it up to the risk of travel, this would not stop me from going to Bogota and hanging in Zona Rosa. There is a obvious threat of a terror strike there as I am sure you know per the points you mentioned. The security check you get going into bars, etc. or just watch all the car searches at Andino. Pretty obvious they are concerned about all bomb types.

As for watching a drink I hope all the guys on here know that is common sense no matter where you are.

It´s Sunday night and most of the bars are dead. There´s nary a soul in Gyros Kebab except us two and the waiters. As the wine and the shisha pipe smoking took effect my girl laid her head on my shoulder and asked when we were going back to my room. Just then a noisy group came in to the restaurant and I knew that our intimate time was over. Back in the room I found that the Casilla del Diablo wine had put the diablo into my hitherto conservative girl, met via Latin American Cupid. After some wild sheet thrashing and exhausted sleep she had to go off to a job placement agency. She´s a nurse looking to work abroad.

Also, I had already booked my flight to Barranquilla for that afternoon. After weeks of cool, cloudy climes in Cusco, Lima and Bogota I was looking for some heat and sunshine. I mean, this is supposed to be the tropics dammit. But my flight out is from here to Miami on the 23rd so my hands will have a chance to travel her 4 foot 11, 100 pound curves some more.

I arrived here on a Friday night, with no reservation and only vague ideas as per my usual precise travel planning. I resorted to the tourist information booth just outside of customs. They hooked me up with Cosmos100 Hotel on Calle 100 near Cra. 19. It cost just under $90 with taxes included. It turned out to be guest friendly enough but there was the usual ID check and a nominal charge of 3500 pesos (security charge they called it). There´s a rooftop pool that´s glass dome covered. So you can even catch some rays this way. The lightly equipped gym is next to this. The breakfast was pretty good. The only problem is they seem to think that their cool climate excuses them from any thoughts about ventilation. In the room there´s no fan or AC and the window only opens a small crack. It can get pretty stuffy in there regardless of the weather outside. The location is a short taxi ride from places of mongering interest.

However, I didn´t have a chance to sample those places since I was mostly busy with my nurse. In the malls I didn´t seem to notice many unattached girls. They were mostly paired off with boyfriends.

The Zona Rosa looks like it could be a happy hunting ground, especially on Saturday nights. Sunday was pretty quiet, which I was able to use to my advantage as described above.

What I liked:

1. Palacetes. My plane arrived in Bogota at 9: 00 PM, so I was the vulnerable stranger trying to get laid on my first night. My airport taxi driver recommended this place (also reviewed on this Board). I got there at about midnight, and there was one attractive chica on duty. Her name was Catalina, but I later found out that there is another chica named Catalina who works there. The Catalina I saw was taller than average, and she was just a little slimmer than the other Catalina (also an attractive chica, but untested). In my mongering journeys, I tend to err on my first chica because I am so damned horny. But Catalina la Alta was quite sweet and sexually responsive, as I like them. I want the lady to have a good time, and she gave it up a couple times. She seemed inexperienced in matters sexual, and there is charm in that. Oh, and she was tight, so tight it was very difficult to stay in there when she contracted to come her brains out. In my first-encounter enthusiasm, I paid her $50 in United States currency, and I also paid $10 for her drink (there was not an actual drink. Just a bar fee) and then another $10 for the room. I was pussy-whipped, and so I caved in when Catalina asked for 5, 000 for the maid. Stupidly, in my post-flight fatigue, I left my $11 bottle of lubricant in the room, so I returned the next day to see if it was still there. The goon at the bar said that it had been all used up, the prior night. Damn good lubricant, so I hope someone had a good time. Anyway, while I was laughing about my losses while sitting on one of the pathetic little Palacetes sofas, I met Yeimi (Jaime), a lady of about 30-33 years with a sense of humor and a gorgeous white, white butt. Yeimi agreed to meet me the next morning at my hotel for $50. She was great fun. She spent 40 minutes more than the hour we agreed to, and she proved to be an interesting person. She talked about her years in Japan and Britain as a working girl. Apparently the Japanese expected her to see 6 customers a day, and she did not like that. But it allowed her to buy a house in Bogota for her and her daughter. So she sees two guys a day now at Palacetes to buy groceries. She had a great orientation to my pleasure, and she had a lovely butt up in the air.

2. Piscina Del Dia: I saw three chicas there, and all were fun. You go in any time after noon until about 7, and there are attractive ladies and very few men. They ask 4, 000 to 5, 000 pesos (less than $2. 50) for a beer or soft drink, and the charge is the same for a chica drink. So you can relax and watch the European porn on the big screen. The girls do not approach you unless asked (I like that so much). The girls do show you their asses by walking past you, though. On my first trip I chose Isabella, a perky chica with a great attitude. I signed up for only a half-hour for 70, 000 pesos (about $32), but the room staff kept pounding on the door after 15 minutes. Poor Isabella lost her orgasm drive because of the knocking (she was so close). I did fine, but felt bad for perky Isabella, who claimed to be a business student at the Universidad Nacionale. On my next trip to Piscina del Dia, Isabella introduced me to her friend Diana from Cali. Diana was not as young and perky as Isabella, but was great on service (I signed up for an hour and told the maid "no molesta! "). The cost was 110, 000 pesos ($50), and Diana really put her heart into it. Not a clock-watcher, Diana was as sweet and giving as any lady I have seen. OK, she had a little Caesarian scar on her belly, but that is a badge of honor in my book. More importantly, she had a fine firm butt that she liked to hold up in the air for me. Finally, on my last trip to PDD, Diana recommended a hot young spinner named Sandra. Sandra was a little hyperactive, which makes me think of drugs. But this young lady had an absolutely beautiful body, especially her butt. What a vision in those mirrors! Those Piscina Del Dia rooms were not bad at all. Sandra spent a lot of time on her knees, and she had these long orgasms where she seemed to lose herself. I have to admit that she seemed ambivalent about all this pleasure, and I think she would have refused such intense sex if Diana had not told her to show me a good time. Thank you, Diana of Cali. The moral of this story is to treat a lady well, and she will help you out with her friends if you play your cards right.

3. It was good to get away from my fellow gringos for several days. I don't remember a single person speaking English, except when addressing me. I saw a couple Europeans at my hotel (Hotel del Parque), but no Americans or Canadians. I am sure that more foreigners hang out in the upscale neighborhoods, but it was good to get away. Mongering in Costa Rica involves elbow rubbing with so many guys it feels like tailgating at a football game. I like to be on my own. I enjoyed the restaurants, the museums, the public squares, the architecture, and the city bustle. At my age, you can't screw all day and all night.

4. I liked my hotel, Hotel del Parque. I will write a separate post.

What I did not like in Bogota:

1. The street girls in Santa Fe are at their stations in front of their love hotels by 9: 00 A. M. (the earliest I showed up). Most of the ladies are not so attractive, but I found one who looked good. She wanted 30, 000 pesos ($14) for 20 minutes, and I persuaded her to accept the same price for 30 minutes. She was so mechanical and controlling that I felt ripped off even though I paid so little. Her favorite word was "No": no doggie, no ball washing, no depth to the oral, no bra removal. At the end she could not understand why I was unhappy with her. She told me I should return. Clearly she did not have any idea what I wanted.

2. Piscina (the main club on the big street in Santa Fe) was very disappointing and very different from the laid-back Piscina del Dia. On a Friday night, there were more men than women in Piscina: a real sausage fest. The waiters and security were as rude as possible. First they insisted that I sit at an isolated upstairs table, and then I paid about $7-8 for a beer. After I was half-way done with my beer, security insisted I buy a drink for a chica. Then the waiter insisted. Actually, the women looked hard, very hard with their hard fake tits and hard bar hair and hard faces set in make-up. Looking around, I really did not see the type of fresh, hot girl that I like. The floorshow was laughably amateurish. I left.

Mixed Reviews:

1. Lancaster, Casanova, and Extasis are "up-scale" but actually tiny places in the calles 80's and 90's (in contrast, most of my mongering and sightseeing as well as my hotel was farther south in the calles 20's and 30's.). These places wanted 15, 000 pesos ($7) for a beer, and wanted 20, 000 pesos for a chica drink. I never paid for a chica drink, even though I was asked to do so every 5 minutes. That was annoying. What was nice is that I was able to get the telephone numbers of one chica at each one of these places. One of them yielded an excellent session back at my hotel for $60; one led to a disgusting telephone up-selling on the chica's part; and one was a missed opportunity because I was too busy to see her (I think she would have been very good). Personally, I think you are a sucker if you pay the regular rates at these places ($100 or more), and I think you are a sucker if you buy chica drinks for almost $10. But I was pleased by the entrepreneurial readiness of most chicas to visit me at my hotel. Milena, the chica who visited me after meeting me at the club the night before, was a sweet, intelligent angel who spoke slowly (so I could understand her simplified Spanish) and gave every evidence of enjoying her time with me. She was very unhurried and willing to try whatever I asked. She asked to stay the night, but I told her I can't sleep with anyone else in the room. She seemed disappointed and repeatedly asked me to call her.

2. Condoms were required by all seven ladies I saw. As has been pointed out on this Board before, the Bogota chicas are much more likely to insist on condoms than chicas in Costa Rica, Republica Dominica, and Buenos Aires. My own feeling on this is that I would rather have a skilled oralist who insists on cover than an unskilled chica. I was pleased by several of the ladies, all of whom offered ball licking except the street chica.

3. The street security situation was better than San Jose, Costa Rica, but not as good as Buenos Aires. Here I am talking about the better neighborhoods of all three countries. At night I felt very comfortable walking at night in the 80s and 90s calles, whereas I would never walk at night in downtown San Jose (but I would in San Isidro). As recommended on this site, I used only marked taxis. As for daytime walking, I felt comfortable in Santa Fe and most other places I went. However, when walking in the Parque Nacionale, I felt suddenly isolated with three ugly young men with facial scars approaching me. I was lucky to be able to walk on the grass so as to avoid them and jump down a little wall, to be with others. As usual, there were about 10 policemen talking with each other and ignoring public safety, just 150 yards from where I felt isolated and threatened. The police are everywhere, with their automatic weapons. They seem to have an arrogant attitude. As in Costa Rica, they are never where they might be helpful. There are just more of them.

4. The Universidad Nacionale was surprisingly politicized, with revolutionary graffiti all over and with a huge, home-made drawing of Che Guevara on a building in the center of campus. Guys, it's the 21st Century! Even though it is supposed to be the great public university of the country, it appeared to be shoddy and under-funded. On the other hand, I found a lot of Spanish-language texts in my field that I had not known about, so that was interesting. I spent the afternoon in the library during an intense thunderstorm, and I had a good time reading and poking around. But that is what I do.

Overall, I had a good trip. The chicas weren't as beautiful as I thought they would be, but I was lucky to spend time with some excellent providers. I probably will not return, but I have some nice memories. It was a splendid isolation, with hot chicas at low prices. I write this review because I would not have had a good time if I had not been able to learn from the reports on this site.
