Cartagena Reports

[QUOTE=Nypher;2606074]Just hand them 20 mil and walk away. Forget about getting change back or giving extra.[/QUOTE]IMHO that seems to be the best Way of handling them. Always have small bills. Have the money you plan on giving them separate before you get in the taxi. It wasn't this bad Eight months ago. You think these guys will be happier because they getting more business.

We were coming from the airport and the price was around 23 k. I Saul a non-cab driver trying to solicit business with his vehicle. I asked him his price and he said 30 k. As I walked off he dropped it down to 20 k. I told him I will give him 40 K if he takes us to an exchange Place. He drove us to a place on the way.

We got the change in under five minutes. When he dropped us off I gave him 50 k. This MF ask for another 20 k. Stating he had to use extra time to get me change. I told him he is the reason I would never use another independent driver again.

He saw I did him a favor not sticking with the regular Taxis and this is how he repays me. I will stick to Uber unless Time is of the essence.

You Americans need to stop giving away free money. You see the bad habits it creates with the cabbies and chicas alike. A tip in Colombia is the leftover change... a few hundred pesos, not 10K bills.

Present taxi rates from April 2021 with a night surcharge of 700 pesos per ride: [URL]https://www.transitocartagena.gov.co/links/Decretos/Decretos_2018/Decreto_0482.PDF[/URL].

[QUOTE=Tomasb;2606000]I am arriving mid October and forgot what the taxi fare is from airport to El Centro. Can someone provide? Thanks.[/QUOTE]I was in Cartagena last week and paid the taxi 15000 pesos from airport to poblado.

9-10 am.

Wandered outside watch tower around airbnb (Arsenal street) - nada. I want to emphasize to new comers that watch tower during the day is an entire waste of time if mongering. Enjoyable if into history / culture / souvenirs for home!

Arrived Beach - 11:40 am ish.

Specifically "Hollywood Beach" from Watch Tower pass Rio hotel and Hilton on left almost the end of the beach. Locals say it and it sounds like "Bollywood".

Arrived early. Locals swarmed (obc.) Found some inwS comfortable with and buddy and I got a cabana midst of Hollywood Beach (30,000 Pesos / day).

Uber from Watch Tower to Beach was equipment of $3 ish (cheaper than taxi).

Buddy and I booked all day. Handful of aguilas (think I had 4 + waters. HENIKEN. Drinks for swarmers and Chica I finally met ordered two monitos **I knocked one off the table and cost myelf 40,000 pesos).

I'm 90% recalling drink prices. I get drunk and friendly and begin buying drinks for everyone. If on a budget avoid buying chica drinks and tell swarmers go away (which is easier said than done).

Bought a chess board for friends and I to kill time booze and look for girls. Was nothing but locals for quite some time. Noon-2 pm saw nothing end of Hollywood on a Saturdsy. Swarmed co. Tkmued to tell me wait wait amigo 2:00 Chica Chicas!

Paid 45,000 for nice wooden chess set with magnets (he started at 120,000!

Killed time. Drank.

Finally a young (21) beautiful Chica with braces / slight tattoos walks up cabana or TWO I'm front of us! Nice Jean shorts great skin / face. I ask swarmers if working they say yes bring her over. OMG.

Stunning.

Sweet.

Venezuelan!

Yes please! Lose in chess game because I cannot concentrate. Few drinks NEVER once did I feel pressured by her.

We hung out a bit though she spent most of it texting on her phone. (What young girl doesn't) no worries.

Ask her how much for 1 HR. She says 300,00. I counter 250,000. She says 300,000. I'm dru k and apologize for "fucking up prices" but I'm on vacation and don't want to haggle over $15 with a beautiful young Chica that's been so sweet and I had such a poor first experience. (Posted few days ago in this thread).

Uber back. She walks in. Showers - turns on music. Never watches clock. Wonderful time. I pay her and then she claims it was her birthday (fuck) I gave her my tourist Panama hat as a gift (25,000 pesos) and she was off.

Amazing.

Day 3:

Huge shout out to the fellow who told informed about the strip club:

Marina Del Paraiso. (Will find thread and thank you personally later via msg. Owe ya a beer or something- will venmo. You're a true champion).

Holy shit!

Well first off- it's not 10 - it's 20-25 minutes from Watch Tower and it's not for the faint of heart. Have to taxi / Uber through the outskirts of town and you will be the only gringo in Colombian country. That being said. It was safe enough.

Ok this club. Girls 300,000 flat. That's the fee. No more no less 1 HR.

We bought a bottle of snaps (60 k?) And it comes with a booth and a free naked dance. Every girl at the club introduces herself. DJ was on point- can make requests. And they fucking filled glass with ICE on point with tongs one by one every time my glass needed a refill. Make ya feel like a fucking king. I never once paid my Chica for a lap dance- was was happy to be partying and drinking. Lots of selection amd we arrived semi early (7 pmish) Buddy and I both 21 yeat old Chica and one claims to only been working for 1 week (was from Medellin) after hours of dialogue and spending next day with her I 100% believe her. (Will post about our day together separately.

300 k back room after much google translate texting. Drinks. Laughs.

BJ no see (which I rarely do and apologize acronyms poor) though I just went with it. Also allowed me to cum on face! Never asked for tip. She was so great I gave her 50,000 happily without her asking. Swapped information- Buddy had a swell time also and afterward we went to: Pley Club.

Pley Club closes: 2-3 am.

Marina: 24/7 I was told so if you're attempting to excuse the curfew ban this may be your spot. **again this is subjective but as a Las Vegas and globe strip club coinosour so to speak I simply rave about this spot! Gives me goose bumps just thinking about it and I may come back to Cartagena just to kick it here!

OK so Pley Club girls were 300 k. Beers were 10 k-20 k (I drink local domestic. Buddy drinks Heineken which is more expensive everywhere I've seen in Colombia) *he's a princess*.

Man. Selection was so good here. As in holy shit. Girls weren't very aggressive. I finally went with a big fat ass lighter skin girl in red pants (Gosh I'm drawing blank on name).

This night she had a red inside on with the greatest ass I've ever seen on a light skin girl in the history of time. Fake tits (which I normally dislike) and I just had to try this for a ride. If you see her you can't miss her, honestly.

Man one of the best experiences of my life, bar none. And ego aside I've had some experiences! WOW! Fantastic. Eye contact. Multiple positions. No rush. Yes please! Arsed her if ass was fake. She Claes lots of exercise. I fucking believe it. WOW!

Great time strip club hopping in Cartagena! Worth every penny!

According to Questner link listed below, that is about double the published rate.

[QUOTE=United1;2605823]Hello gents,

I am a first-timer to Cartagena. Do you have the tips to find the girls? I tried [URL]SA.com[/URL] for a few days, but didn't find any matches in Cartagena.

Which is the surprise, because I had lots of luck in Bogata and Medellin the past week.

Is there a way to find safe girls who will not rob and drugs me in my Airbnb. Agency girls? I don't mind paying a bit extra.

I don't think I will feel comfortable with just pick girl in streets. Esp since my building doesn't have security guard at night.

Hope you can help me with good advices.

Of if you have names and don't mind sharing, please PM me. I will appreciates.

U1.[/QUOTE]Hi U1,

My friend had success on "seeking arrangements" I prefer lice mongering. Watch Tower 9 pm passed (though lots of pros be ready to negotiate).

And during the day best I found was Hollywood Beach!

Hope this helps and good luck!

[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;2605528]Marina Paradiso, about 10 minutes from clock tower, but worth it if your looking for a good strip club with everything you need on site. Rooms, 20-30 girls, party supplies, reasonable prices.[/QUOTE]Had an extremely good time here which I reported on. Only thing I'd say is it's a bit further than 10 minutes and through a part of town that's dislike some of the states (obv.) Could be frightening for some but strap in and get your monger on. This place worth the trip and the money.

24/7 and the service was spectacular!

Thanks for the tip / recommendation. It's things such as this which makes me continue being a member and sharing when I have a chance!

Thinking of going to Cartagena for a few nights before I leave Colombia.

From what I've read on here I don't think Space, Delirium and Dolce Vita charge a cover charge, is that right? Also what are the approximate prices of soft drinks in those places?

Holy shit! [/QUOTE]Never heard about these places. Sounds like fun.

I was in Cartegena last week, 3 nights, always in Tour del Reloj, many girls but few really nice I met a girl from Caracas and spent the 3 evening with her, very cute a real gem (25 years old), she told me that there is not a lot tourists now instead of July and August, she had no client during 4 nights (incredible) so I think you can propose now 200 000 pesos and if the girl really beautiful then max 300 000 pesos.

Sorry for my english.

Your English is fine and good info. Though it's spelled Torre del Reloj. Or clock tower.

U1.[/QUOTE]Yeah, SA is not much good for Cartagena. You can fly women in from Bogota or Medellin into Cartagena on the cheap or you can try the nearby town of Barranquilla. Barranquilla is okay for seeking, not as good as Bogota or Medellin, but many of the women there do not mind taking the bus to Cartagena.

I am in Cartagena later this week if anyone want to meet up for drinks and show a newbie around. Send me a PM please.

I had a Cartagena local send me a PM about this place back when the cops were shutting down Plaza De LOS Coches super early. I had asked him to reccomend alternatives. I like the fact that the sign says 24 hrs.
