[QUOTE=Ringudor;2579112]Hello, mi planing visit Colombia for first time in my life, beguining August, as I never was there mi a bit concerned about dangerous there, I have been to Brazil, I guess is similiar in terms of danger, but I would be happy, if you can give me some nice info about Bogota.
1 what side in the city is good for a foreign tourist, just looking safety and shops restaurants around, not looking for street hookers, don't like this.[/QUOTE]Ringudor, go to the forum where you have links to distinction and read Routard's excellent report on Bogota. In general, the nicest part is Chapinero / Parque 93 region. The highest end part of Bogota where my chicas and I always wind up at is the Andino shopping mall region.
[QUOTE=Ringudor;2579112]2 is really as dangerous the city in terms of robbing with weapons, kidnappings and using of burundanga and other drugs?[/QUOTE]If I go by the people who live there, they walk around pretty freely in the safer regions. I have talked to people who lived there and had their beers drugged with scopalamine and who have their phones stolen by guys on motorcycles. I have seen guys freely snort cocaine or smoke pot in clubs (I kind of like that. It means freedom to me) but I think that misses the point. For the most part, I have found Colombians to be very nice and friendly. In short, I think the danger factor is exaggerated. There is crime but I am not sure it is that much worse than some American cities.
[QUOTE=LatinaLover#1;2579175]Lots of prepagos haters limit you to one guest on the regestration and only that guest can be admitted, tats how they limit you from bringing a bunch of different women.

I stay here exclusively for the last 8 years, PM me if you need more info.[/QUOTE]So the two girls were denied entry last night. We went to a by-the-hour place nearby. I have another girl coming today. I told her to meet me in the downstair's restaurant and we can take the elevator from there bypassing the receptionist. Thanks for the suggestion. If I'm denied again, I'll look into the apartment suite.

For future reference, could you send me a list of things I'm allowed to do and places I'm allowed to visit? That way I don't have to request your approval every day.[/QUOTE]Lmao 🤪🤣 Had me cracking up!

I booked an AirBnB in this building when I visited and they seemed to have no problem with bringing girls over. I didn't bring any into my apartment but my neighbor brought a number of girls over. The building has some incredible views. Security doesn't seem to really care about who comes in because you need a card key to get into the reception and to get into the elevator. As long as you escort her in, I don't think they will have a problem. A lot of gay tourists were also bringing guys they met to their apartments too without much problem.
[QUOTE=JjBee62;2579202]I'm not sure why anyone watches YouTube videos about Bogota or Colombia. Fortunately, nobody is required to explain why they do things to me.
However, I'll clear it up for you. I didn't go to swim in the water, or to drink it. I went because it's quite a scenic area and it was on my list of places I wanted to photograph. I also had 2 girls with me, both of whom really enjoyed the trip.

Showdown.

Showdown.[/QUOTE]Pardon me. As you may be aware I just recently recovered from Covid. Besides all the other symptoms, I briefly lost my sense of smell and my sarcasm glands were all plugged up. I'm much better now.
No offense taken, but you do need to work on your light hearted responses. When you say "I don't understand why you did that", about something someone has already done, it comes screen as a challenge.
A light hearted response might have been something like "I heard it was a shitty place."
Now if someone posts that they met a Colombian in Dubai and she agreed to spend 2 weeks with him in Colombia for $500 per day and round trip airfare from Dubai, that's the time to question why they would do that. The girl in Dubai has 30 cousins who will happily fuck for $40-$50. Besides, it's probably cheaper to fuck her in Dubai.
I wanted to check out Montserrat so one day I look out my hotel window and it looked like a nice day for it, I jump into a taxi, and he doesn't speak a word of English of course.
There are protests everywhere so what should be a short ride turns into a 30 minute detour, no problem, we have a set price.
We pull up and he's pointing to some stairs? I'm like WTF I read about people using the taxi for this visit, I just assumed the taxi drove to the top.
Nope he's pointing to the stairs and wouldn't you know it starts raining, well at least I brought my umbrella.
So I start heading up, I'm a stubborn monger, so I'm like no problem, about 30 mins in, I ask some 20 something chico and 4 chicas coming down the stairs how much further, and good news they speak English.
Bad news, hes a preacher (I'm guessing banging all 4 of the chicas).
They tell me its quite a ways ahead, but God will help me make it. They ask if they can pray for me, and pray for over 30 minutes non stop.
I wanted to tell them I'm a life long atheist, but I was concerned that would delay me even further, we exchanged whatsapp, but.
I couldn't wait to get away from them, I have no use for these types of people.
Pro tip (aka learn from my fuckups) #! (so if you don't want to be delayed be careful who you speak to).
Its a long climb very steep, not really any handrails to prevent falling, and crazy ass doods running top speed up and down in the rain, they must have special grip shoes.
Warning! Its pretty slippery.
Finally I get near the top and I see some cables for the tram I didn't know they had WTF?
Then suddenly I slip and fell on my ass, not so bad but it could get dangerous.
They have small gutters running down each side of the path for rain and green algae grows on the walking surface if you get too close, it could be a visit to the ER.
In any case as soon as I get to the top and it starts pouring like mad, so I decided fuck this and took the trolley down.
In another event I asked Mr E about taking the bus to MDE from BOG a few months back, he said don't do it, so I said fuck it, I'll fly.
I wanted to see the landscape, but no problem.
Well with some very very last minute change in plans, I found myself checking out of my hotel and taking an Uber to the bus station.
I took an 8 pm bus, it had the aircon cranked and was really really freezing and I like it cool, by the time we started descending the mountains it warmed up outside and fogged the black tinted windows completely.
It was a hellish 10 HR ride, we didn't get off the bus 1 x, they just keep driving winding and turning and braking, like being on a 10 HR gyroscope from hell.
I've never had motion sickness in almost 54 yrs of age, but I wanted to vomit the whole time, going to the toilet in the complete dark was, risking your life.
I tried to wipe the steam off the windows and see outside, it was dark but once or twice I could tell the bus was passing a truck in the dark on a curvy road.
2 lane road with trucks in oncoming traffic, it seemed very very unsafe, they closed the door at the front of the bus when we left BOG and kept it closed until MDE.
I just remember people blasting music all night blasting youtube crap etc people yapping on fones, it was fucking horrible.
Pro tip #2 (learn from my fuck ups) don't take the bus to MDE from BOG.

The trail to the top of Monserrat is considered a pilgrimage. It's for the devout to prove their faith and purify themselves. For the godless heathens there's the funicular or the team, although the tram wasn't running when I visited. I think it cost 12 k, but that was 6 years ago.
Having just driven Bogota to Medellin and back I can sympathize with anyone who takes the bus. Yes the road is steep and winding and there's a lot of passing on blind corners.
I mostly enjoyed the drive, but I'd hate to take the trip as a passenger.
What are some nice places with good looking women that serves beers? Not looking for Gringo taxation on the drinks or the women.
[QUOTE=ZebraStripes81;2576395]Hello friends,
I am new to this forum thread but have been posting in the Rio thread for a while as I have spent the last seven weeks there and just arrived in Bogota a few days ago. Anyone making the trip directly to Colombia to Brazil should be aware that you need proof of a current yellow fever vaccination. Since I did not have this, I had to get vaccinated in Rio, and then go to Anvisa in the GIG airport to receive the official document required by airlines.
I had visited Bogota immediately before the pandemic started, albeit briefly, so was curious to see how things have changed. The first night after I get some sleep, I started in Chapinero, where I checked out Las Divas, Pussy House, and Club Fortynine. Pussy House and Las Divas have really gone down hill- at this point its just basically a bunch of local dudes watching soccer games with a few tired working girls lounging around. The girls were average and below average- and at Pussy House especially, the vibe was really strange with obnoxious music, aggressive crew, and was just overall uncomfortable. Beers were 10 mil I believe. I had remembered a club that was more enticing and seductive. Over at Club Fortynine things seemed to be in partial disrepair and the club was generally shabby compared to the photos on the internet. However, the ratio was much better with perhaps 10-12 SW lounging around. I grabbed an overpriced beer (20 mil) and approached the most attractive girl, a little 20 year old spinner w braces and big tits-there who quoted me 150 mil, but said that BBBJ was not allowed- not even if I met her outside of the club..[/QUOTE]Every woman I have met in Bogota has allowed BBBJ except those on the streets in SF. And if I'm not mistaken, every woman I've met here would have also allowed BBFS not even for anything extra. I guess its all on their perception of you. I did go to Zona T once on was taken to I believe it was Blue room which does look kind of nice and was full of women. All of them were hawk eying me. But after seeing the drink prices, I decided to grab one as a courtesy and get the fuck out of there. I don't mind many chicks but I can imagine how hungry everyone is with so many bodies, and you're probably the only or of the few men who has come in all day. This was a Friday or Saturday night and although some looked to me as genuine interest I just seen big dollar. No GBP signs everywhere I looked so figured it was best to just go after a short time.
I still have yet to go to mezzanine and would like to take the trip one day soon.
You did not say anything about sex, so The North has nice beer places.
But, you can find sex in the area also.
So try this area. Zona Rosa (Zona T) El Retiro.

Curfew.
I heard that all of Colombia will have Curfew starting tonight.
The latest this morning from Jesus: "Hello, good morning, today.

Many cities on alert, tomorrow there will be marches and protests.
There is a curfew and alcohol consumption is prohibited. ".
Contact Jesus, he will let you know what's going on, our man in the streets.
He is in Cali, WhatsApp: 57-323-586-6627.
