.[/QUOTE]What kind of a tour guide is this? I have never heard of a tour guide staying with you. Many hire tour guide for the night if they are unfamiliar or feel they are threatened for going to clubs to pick up girls. Long time ago when I was a novice I hired a tour guide to accompany me to visit seedy places in Bangkok. He acted as a bodyguard. I did not need him but that time I did not know Bangkok is a safe place and picking up girls is easy. This was before internet. I certainly would not allow any guide to stay with me.
Only guide I hire would be girls who will do everything and stay with me.
I was thinking the same. If that is the current talent available, then I will be going home empty handed more often than not. And I am arriving in mid October so I hope the gene pool is better by the time I arrive.

[QUOTE=Nypher;2610285]It seems to be an issue whenever it rains.
Every Airbnb I've styed in Centro or El Laguito have that smell coming from the drain. After the third day its barely noticeable though. I keep the bathroom cleaner near by and just pour some down the drain every night.[/QUOTE]It's not a rain issue, typically what happens is that the drains underneath them have what's called a P-Trap, basically a "you" shaped piece of pipe, that when filled with liquid keeps the gas vapors from coming out of it. So if the water in the P-Trap evaporates, and is no longer present, the smell, or the vapors will enter the atmosphere above them versus being trapped behind the water underneath the drain.
And no, I'm not a plumber, but do like to lay pipe! LOL.
This place is a real overrated shithole. Beaches are ugly and every one and their cousin are out to scam you. The pros are not that great either IMO. Granted I only went put one night so far to clock tower area. I walked around drinking beer looking for a girl to turn me on enough while I got a buzz. Fending off scammers left and right.
One girl aggressively hugged me and I oushed her off as I knew she wanted in my pockets. This same chick brought an entire mariachi band with her plus 2 friends a few hours later in the night and tried to again grab me while this band if street performers played and offered me coke. I literally ran away LOL. I ended up in some after hours club called space. The best looking girl. There approached me and sat down wanted 300 k pesos I told her 200 and its a deal. We left got home she proceeded to put a condom on me and gave the most mechanical sex possible. I pulled her off and said no condom. She wanted 50 usd more. I said fine because you def aren't making me hard enough to fuck you with a condom.
The sex was very boring mechanical. She had a private driver come pick her up and said she wanted to get my nu ber and go to the beach with me. I told her that she fucks like a robot and I am not interested. She seemed upset and left.
The next day a non pro I had been chatting with on bumble dating app came over. She didn't look as good as the pro but the sex was way better and more intimate. ID give her a 6 or 7 best looks wise though. Seemed like a nice caring girl though.
We went to the beach where I feel victim to the free oyster scam at boca grande. They come and tell you free samples then demand money later. Long story short I woke up with severe food poisoning next day. Projectile vomiting and just extremely sick. 99 out of 100 times I would never accept raw shellfish from a street vendor. I think being with that girl dropped my guard down as I was in a really good euphoric mood and on hydrocone pain killers at that moment.
But today I feel much better. Got some antibiotics as well.
Have been talking to a lot of women on bumble and I have a girl from okaycupid coming to visit me tomorrow that I have been chatting with for months now.
I just want to comment on the pro scene for anyone who is reading this and never been before. Its not good at all in my very limited experience. The women seem very hardened, boring and even cynical compared to other scenes like SE Asia. Not overly impressed with their looks as well. Lots of fake asses and boobs. Just very trashy looking on average. Maybe I just have an Asian fetish. I dunmo. But I would rather go to Thailand 10 out of 10 times then this place.
Also. My first impression of Columbians are that they are very dishonest people in general who will cheat you whenever possible. They always seem low key pissed off as well.
I was in the DR a few months ago and liked it much better. Never did the pro scene there though so can't comment on that.
Boca grande beach is uglier than any beach in China even that I ever ever visited. Filthy water as well. Will be here for 1 month unfortunately. I have little desire to even leave my room here tbh. And people say this one of the most beautiful cities in Columbia. Yikessss.

He lives 2 hrs away from the city so I let him stay with me when he asked. He's great to have when I was in the non-tourist area, but the next time I'll move solo.
[QUOTE=RacShack;2610513]When my friend asked tony about that price list of course he respond with that's 5 year ago sign! Ha ha ha he's a crook, bottom line, not sure why or how he lasted![/QUOTE]The same way the chicks that charge a lot of money do. Something about being on vacation and spending their money how they want and having everything at the snap of a finger, blah, blah, blah.
Yes and of course they're going to try to get as much money as they possibly can in case anyone hasn't figured it out. If you going to fly all the way to Cartagena you and then worry about an extra $100,000 K for a girl. You wasting your time-- you get what you pay for. You going to find the hottest girls by far at the beach and yes you have to pay for the price of admission they're going to make sure that any gringo who sits at Playa Hollywood is going to pay. If you don't want to pay don't go to the beach do something else.......
[QUOTE=Tjrident;2610223]Are you talking about the Pedro or Tony who assigns you a seat a the beach?[/QUOTE]

Then top it off in the morning with more cleaner.

I bought an extra room at Viajero because I initially thought that area was were I would be pulling the ladies from. But when I went to Travasura I threw my Walled City plans away.
While I was staying in Viajero I was people watching from the balcony there. I could see the ladies walking into Space and Dolce but I didn't see the stunners I saw in the strip club. I'm really specific (Borderline OCD) about the type of chick I'm after: Big natural ass and small waist. I'm certain I could find a stunner in the walled city if I looked hard enough, but I didn't feel like putting in that much effort once I saw how much more the girls in the strip club fit into what I was looking for.[/QUOTE]JAJAJA I have never heard of a tour guide staying with a gringo, especially a male tour guide. I understand if it was a chica and she was trying to earn extra but hell no am I letting a man sleep in my apartment or prevent me from getting mine.
Come on man, its your AirBB, simply tell him take a walk while you do your thing.
That last sentence is what I meant when I was talking about guys just want to sit back and want things to come to them. This is the same thing old mongers do in Sosua where they sit down at Kings and just want to point at girls to call them over. Or they just want to sit at that place with all the green umbrellas at Playa Sosua and point to get girls to come to them. Watching from a balcony is not the same as being on the ground with them, trust me on this. To each their own I guess, you used what worked for you and you got what you wanted. I guess that all that mattered on that trip is you had fun. May I suggest trying a different approach on your next trip an do the exact opposite every other night such as if you are in a strip club one night, walk around the clocktower or the discos the following night, you don't even need to go inside.
And don't let the tour guide stay with you jajajaja.

How can you expect to lowball a chica in Space at 200 mil and expect good service. You got what you paid for. Paying an extra $50 for sin condom? Jajaja.
Why in the world would you buy the shellfish from those people walking back and forth on the beach? You have no idea how long they been sitting in that hot temperature.
You're seeing lots of fake ass and tits because you are looking for fake ass and tits. When I go there yes I see them and I flat out ignore them and go for natural but sure enough at the end of the night I see those same plastic chicas walking with back to the short stay hotel with a 90's John Goodman clone.
If you wouldn't swim in Pattaya Beach why would you expect Playa Hollywood be any better. You have to take a boat to go to the better beach. Closest one is Playa Blanca that will give you a Phuket islands feel.
Colombians are not exactly dishonest, they are opportunistic when they see a gringo who clearly does not understand the culture. Remember they can only fool you once, if you didn't learn from that then they will always see you coming.
Wait. I just realized everything you complained about was just recently talked about a few pages back with warnings and advice given to prevent such negative outcomes. Even suggestions of places to go where you can have a better experience. Did you to read any of it and take it into consideration when planning your?
Maybe you second week will be better.

An area that attracts every kind o tout and hustler?
Talk about the eye of the beholder. Such negativity most always belongs to the beholder. Your negativity is all through your report and it is a very very in accurate depiction of the city. Cartagena is a UNESCO world heritage site because of the entact old walled city full of spanish colonial architecture. Not because of its beach. Its beach has soil erosion. So it is not pristine but to desribe the the water as "filthy" is not accurate at all. Just becuase it did not meet your expectations and you read it was beautiful but apparently did zero research into why some people think so. That's just poor planning.
Cartagena has the greatest concentration of hot latina chicas of any place in the world. I have been going there for 12 years and the only change I have seen is the addition of more venezuelans has only made the situation better -.
All those girls you say have fake bodies? No. Seriously going to try to compare the latinas who have an ass and some titties to those asain girls who do not. No wonder you are delusionsed into thinking they are all fake. How many did you actually touch to be sure?? Yes I am sure that if you have an asian fetish that they look fake to you but the fact is only about one out of twenty have fake anything. I have been to asia and whether its Soi Cowboy or Bangla Rd in Patong Beach I have managed to find girl with some body but they are not the rule.
You obvisouly did not ask the chica if she did BBBJ before you took her back. Then complain becuase she wanted to charge you more? - that's on you.
You say you spent time in SE Asia, well so have I and the scams are the same everywhere. Never heard of a naive tourist who rents the jet ski??

Phuket is wide open right now and Bangla Road is loaded with go-go bars and asian girls to your liking. Why didn't you go there?

Am just surprised it's this subpar.
The Spanish architecture and history is definitely interesting, don't get me wrong. I am just speaking about the sheer ugliness of the place in general. If this is one of the prettiest places in Colombia, then I would hate to see the rest.
I am only here because I purchasing some property in Panama for tax loophole reasons next month and have always wanted to try Colombia as well as Peru.
There are scammers in SE Asia sure. But the ones here are far more aggressive. That's saying a lot because I lived in Phnom Penh for over a year.
Please don't compare this place to Thailand in any shape or form. If we are talking coastal cities besides its history and colonial architecture what does this place have over any coastal destination in Thailand? It's simply ugly and boring in comparison.
And my point about the pro is she sucked. Worst pro experience outside of las Vegas. I will try more as I'm here fir a good while, but I saw a lot of pros while I was out and none of them impressed me. They all seemed pretty hardened and pure business like. You guys must have some serious Columbian fetish is all I can figure.
With that being said, I would not waste my money or time on the poor quality pros here. Just get Colombian cupid and bumble. Both are yielding great results for me so far. Got a dime piece coming over tomorrow from Colombian cupid who wants to stay for a few days no money. I'll try out the pro scene again after she leaves. I'm getting a way better vibe off normal dating app girls though.

Its not with out its flaws as a city, that is for sure.
Cartagena does have a lot of shady characters running around the Clock Tower at night. A lot of the SWs are shady as well and will rob you in the blink of an eye if you present them the opportunity. Sewage water in the streets is also not pleasant and beaches were OK, but we have all been to better beaches. I would say the beaches in Cartagena get the job done for a weekend getaway though. The old walled city and buildings in the Historic Center are really cool. I found the people to be a bit edgy compared to the people of Medellin, but I think a lot of that is also due to the Pandemic. I am sure it wasn't easy dealing with the lockdowns all those months.
Like many mongering destinations, Cartagena has its drawbacks due to petty crime, influx of vennies, poverty, lack of opportunity, and desperation. These things are not unique to Cartagena, but plague most of the mongering destinations throughout Latin America. I will say its less pronounced in Medellin and much less pronounced in many Mexican cities. Overall, Cartagena is still a fantastic bargain for someone looking to party hard with beautiful girls. I would return to party in Cartagena in a heartbeat, beach and the clocktower scene is what mongering all about. Hunting down them chicas with a slight sense of danger and the unknown, but overall generally safe if your using common sense. I love how there's multiple clubs to pull girls from and even some really cool strip clubs as well. Very diverse SW scene, but they seemed kinda too hardened for my liking.
