4,000 pesos colombian.
No moto-taxis? Wow, then how did I get to and fro to the airport the last 3 trips? And to Casa Rocio?
Man, please- I don't mince words.
If I write it it's because its's true!

I am fluent and pasS for Colombian. I enjoy interacting with locals and getting down with them. "when in Rome. ".
I enjoy moto-taxis when I'm rolling solo because they are fast and cheap.
And no, I have never been drugged and robbed by a woman!

[QUOTE=Hioctane;1754878]Sounds like you are a little biased in your review of CTG. You should check it out again. Don't let one scam by Aunsa distort your view of CTG. I wished you had reported it before I got scammed as well! Generally, you will find some good people in CTG. Most are not scammers. When I was scammed, I had a local guy help me run around to find another apartment during high season (new year's). Juan for apartments is a solid as they get. Yes, there are hustlers on the beach but so does the beaches of Sosua in DR. It just comes with the beach. Also, the beach is not that great in CTG, but if you take a short 20 minute boat ride, you will get to the white sandy beaches of Playa Blanca or Isla de Rosario.[/QUOTE]Yes I agreed I am a little bias about Cartagena. My views and impression of that city were shaped by that first timer fuckup experience I had there. The first day I get there, I get scammed by the ISG senior board member Aunsa and me looking like a fool for an apartment's address that did not exist and later having to find a place in hurry late at night not knowing anything nor anyone in that city. Then the next day I am walking towards Playa Hollywood and I get scammed by a guy selling cangrejos. I fell for the free oyster scam which is not free at all. Then after that a black massage girl and others massage girls on the beach are trying to scam me putting their dirty hands with cream on my body without me asking. Then they wanted to charge me for putting their hands on me. And I still have not gotten to the umbrella of the hustler Tony, another big scammer. I saw Tony down there, but I was so pissed up dealing with all the scammers that I changed my travel plan completely in an instant. I was looking at him after someone called his name and began to think, is this really what I want? And then the answer was clear and decided to leave Carta, and gamble exploring another city, Barranquilla. And I am glad I did it. Next time, I go there I will spend a few days in Cartagena to see if my bias perspective change. It is bad that I did not report the incident earlier. I did not do it earlier because the rat Aunsa was communicating to me in January that he was returning my money and was emailing me all type of sorry excuses.

You need to make it clear that free is free and that you won't give them one peso. Or just tell them to come back later. With Tony, you need to settle on a price in advance and tell him you will be there longer than you really are. If he tries to play some tricks, just threaten to go to another guy tomorrow. It is a game. Always works.
In regards to Aunsa, we fell for his scam hook, line and sinker just as you. As a vet of Colombia, I feel so embarrassed! We even met him in Bogota. Bought him drinks and in return, he convinced us to get an even better apartment for another $100. We went to a non existent apartment in January. High season! It was almost impossible to find another apartment. As with you, many lame excuses.
Walk outside to the main street- and any solo male on a bike holding a spare helmet is a mototaxista.

Some bikers will not take you down there. The licensed motos used to (still?) wear a colored vest and carry an extra helmet with them. Getting a ride on a moto used to be really easy, but it seems like it's become harder over time. I've been able to get rides recently into and out of Bocogrande but I'm not sure if the guys I was riding with were official moto taxis or not. It is way cheaper than a taxi and a much faster way to get around the city when traffic is tight.

In the matter of your vast knowledge of the area in question you must be mistaking yourself to being the legendary Urban Wildlife. His posts are still useful for the area in question. You have posted some decent info on Puerto Vallarta I will grant you that. But in the matter of Colombia you are a newbe using info gleamed from other posters, and using that to pretend you have vast knowledge of the Colombian Coastal area.
Write some valid trip reports from the area in question, and then people who really know the area may take you more serious.
I'm currently in Cartagena and was wondering if you guys could give me your opinions on where to find a real stunner?
Thank you!
[QUOTE=TBrog1;1756699]I'm currently in Cartagena and was wondering if you guys could give me your opinions on where to find a real stunner?
Thank you![/QUOTE]Night time:
Was in Cartagena last year in June. You know everybody has a different opinion of what a real stunner is. With that said I have had the best luck at play club, last time I took one from there think her name was Camila from Medellin. Paid la multa and she charged 500 k for LT. Another place I had luck finding stunners is a place called marina club. Its more into town about 15,20 minutes in cab. Took two girls from there Natalia and Melody two real stunners one was from Medellin and the other from bucaramanga paid the multa and each charged 350 k LT. There is one other one but I don't remember the name of it. Its about 10 minutes into town and all the girls there are in swim wear. I've took a couple of stunners from there sorry don't remember the name of the spot. Last girl from there was from Cartagena paid multa and she charged 350 k LT.
Day time:
Hollywood beach. I have found real stunners at the beach a couple of times, also the marina club is sometimes open during the day, they have a pool and small restaurant. The girls live there so they are always available kind of like crystals in DR.
If you want stunners you have to pay there is no way around it.

In other cities in Colombia things are less expensive than CTG so that would make for a more reasonable price.
If you fellows want to pay top dollar prices than don't go to the trouble to travel out of the country. Just stay in the USA.

I'm currently visiting Medellin but going to CTG on the 15th. Can I use USD or do I need pesos there as I noticed some places here don't want USD? Thanks for any insight as I am just a newbie.
When you guys visit CTG, do you contact your cell provider and purchase their international plan, or do you buy a temporary phone there? I've read a lot of people posting that girls like to use WhatsApp to communicate, so I'm guessing I'm better off buying the international plan for my iPhone?

Remember we are talking about stunners. 350 k to 500 k LT. That means you get to enjoy that stunner for 12 to 15 hours. You pick her up lets say 11 pm, she is not going home till 1 or 2 in the afternoon the next day and if she really likes you she will stay till she has to work about 6 - 7 pm. In USA stunners are running you about $200 an hour. 350 to 500 K for 12 hours bargain.

Medellin and Cartagena are in Colombia, not in Columbia (DC). I assume you wish to meet Colombian girls and patronize Colombian restaurants and bars. Since COP is the currency in Colombia, why would you expect people would be happy to receive USD as payment?
IF there is someone accepting USD instead of pesos, it will be to charge you US prices in change of the inconvenience to exchange your USD to the regular COP used on place.
Went to the Pley Club this evening. I will say this very simply, I've been to strip clubs around the world and per square foot I have not seen more beautiful women then at the Pley Club. Whoever owns this club truly knows how to book talent! This is one of those places where you have to really sit back and study the women there to make sure you don't shortchange yourself, because every time you think you found the most beautiful one in there another one comes around the corner and changes your mind!
Good luck and good hunting!
I have a Samsung s5 Mini unlocked.
So, I buy their sim cards.
If your phone is not unlocked, then you could buy their cheap phones.
Or, you can buy an unlocked phone on Amazon, or [URL]www.myworldphone.com[/URL].

Iphone 4 or 5 that is unlocked works great. You then put the whatsup on your new prepago phone, Tigo is most popular for chicas, and you are ready. Local chicas also like the facebook messenger, most of the visiting models / putas use whatsup. It is easier than trying to use your USA phone.

Actually my friend, stunners in the US are running $350 USD per hour and around $2000 USD minimum for 12 hours which is waaaaaay overpriced. I'm talking obviously about women in Chicago, NY, Miami.
By the way, that's not always the case too. A lot more stunners here are now 400 and 500 per hour. And the funny part is the service might be shit too.
Colombia is definitely a deal even though relative to them, I still think it should be a little cheaper.

I fucking hate it, and it drives me crazy when I hear and see people giving girls these ridiculous prices, and then saying "So what, it is my money and I am on vacation". That is very true, but it does influence what the girls will try to charge in the future. It only take a few marbles to see what drives prices up. It is all about what you can get, and if people pay what is above the normal asking price for anything, then that price becomes the norm, especially in the sex industry because they all talk.

Much has changed. Shit, much has changed everywhere. Price of sex is what you will pay for most chicas, varies from 80,000 to 500,000. 2 old buddies were just here and paid 200,000 without negotiating at LDV. I have been there for about 2 hours in 5 years. Used to pull beach chicas daily but that is in the past also, anywhere from 120,000 to 200,000. I do not accept that you are ruining the puta economy if you pay too much, too many chicas for that line to be true. I know guys that pay a lot, they get good service and that is ok, not a big deal to them. I like the 18-22 year old College chicas that are from Cartagena, not street putas and most really enjoy sex. In the morning I take my young Jack Russell to the playa between 6 and 7, always see the street putas coming and going at the Israeli place called Benjamins, think they pay big bucks? If you are counting pesos or somewhat "thrifty" maybe you should visit Haiti, probably cheap there. Got game? Mmmmm, best have a few pesos too. Most chicas in Colombia need financial support more than a pretty boy. IMHO By the way, 200,000 is about $70 today. I remember when the peso was 1650, enjoy it now.

I am importing my chica from Medellin and the Hotel Dann has some great specials so I will be there. 4 nights with one diner, breakfast daily, fast WiFi, suite with balcony 1, 330,000. Cop including everything or about us $458. I know that this is not an ideal mongering place.
Exchanging money? Safe, ease and good rate? At airport is there any special place? Near hotel, is there any specific place? My visa after fees is exchanging at just under $2900=us $1.
Citibank or other recommended ATM near Hotel Dann?
Sim card purchase at airport or near hotel. Looking for easy more than to save us $2.
Hotel for airport pick-up wants cop $29,000. + tax. Which cab or airport car services are reliable, safe and reasonably priced?
Place to buy a case of bottled water near Hotel Dann?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bob.
Also posting in Cartagena Hotels / Apart.
Hello Bob.,
Just in front of the Hotel you will see an "Exito" it is a supermarket (it si in the mall "Pierino Gallo" where LDV is).
I think that the taxi fee is OK.
I know that there are many exchange places all along of the "avenida san martin".

The exchange rate can swing back quickly, and when it does, the girls won't likely adjust their rate down to compensate.
I concede this doesn't matter for the one-time or once a year visitor. But for those of us that plan on returning, it's a legitimate point.

Also posting in Cartagena Hotels / Apart.[/QUOTE]Everything you want is steps and walking distance from your door. Do not waste your time with the hotel pick up as it is not necessary. The airport in Cartagena is a 15 minute ride to your hotel and the taxis at the airport are safe, reliable and cheaper.
[QUOTE=MiamiBob;1760994]I am importing my chica from Medellin and the Hotel Dann has some great specials so I will be there. 4 nights with one diner, breakfast daily, fast WiFi, suite with balcony 1, 330,000. Cop including everything or about us $458. I know that this is not an ideal mongering place.
Exchanging money? Safe, ease and good rate? At airport is there any special place? Near hotel, is there any specific place? My visa after fees is exchanging at just under $2900=us $1.
Citibank or other recommended ATM near Hotel Dann?
Sim card purchase at airport or near hotel. Looking for easy more than to save us $2.
Hotel for airport pick-up wants cop $29,000. + tax. Which cab or airport car services are reliable, safe and reasonably priced?
Place to buy a case of bottled water near Hotel Dann?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Bob.
Also posting in Cartagena Hotels / Apart.[/QUOTE]Accross from the Dann is an Exito Express, believe there is an ATM there, BankColombia, 600,000 each time. Citibank is in Centro, they also charge the highest fees and give the worst exchange rates. Lots of $ exchange places nearby, malo exchange rates, 2600/ Catch a taxi to Tigo beside Carulla in Castille / Boca Grande for a sim card, also at Carulla there is a BankColombia ATM and any supplies you want. Pick a good taxi from the airport 17,000 to Laguito.
Appreciate the intel for a first timer. Cannot easily get a decent exchange rate near hotel? So use ATM and credit cards. Visa after fees is about 2800:1.

They let you withdraw 800 k maximum. There is one next to LDV by the Horus Casino. It used to be 24 hours I believe. Sadly it only works after 6 pm when the casino opens now. There is another one in the Olympica supermarket in BocaGrande. There are many exchange places in BocaGrande. I don't believe there are any in Laguito. It is a short 10-15 minute walk past the infamous Caribe Hotel (or you can take a taxi for the minimum 5 k).

They offer better rates than the airport exchange house and if you need to change more than a small amount it can certainly add up.
The max in one pull from a Servibanca ATM is actually 780 mil pesos and they also charge a fee of around 8 mill per withdraw.
How recently has the Servibanca next to LDV not worked before 6 pm? I don't recall using it in July, so I must have last used it in June and don't remember it not working during the day then.
I can confirm that there is a Bancolombia ATM in the mini Exito that Loco Gringo mentioned in his post below. There is also an ATM inside the Hotel Caribe. I've walked in to use on several occasions over the years and never had a problem. So those are the 3 closest ATMs to the Hotel Dann: inside the mini Exito across the street; upstairs on the 2nd floor of la perla plaza next to LDV; and inside Hotel Caribe. Can't tell you if there's one inside Hotel Dann, never been inside.
To Miami Bob, if you need pesos and want to hit an ATM at the airport, there is a row of them inside the main terminal. Whhen you clear customs and exit the international arrivsls area to get outside, just turn to your left and start walking down the sidewalk toward the main departure area of the airport. Once you've walked 30 yards or so, enter back inside and you will see all the airline departure check in counters. Inside keep walking in the same direction you were on the sidewalk toward the domestic gates and that end of the airline counters. At that end of the main terminal, along the back wall will be a row of 6 or so ATMs. Will take you all of 5 minutes walk there max. Look for your ATM network logo didplayed on a particular machine. Bancolombia and Servibanca typically are compatible with most popular ATM networks from the Ststes. You can typically take multiple pulls from most machines (not all) up to reaching your own bank's daily max.
Hey Gents,
I recently was asking if anyone knew if the clubs in the area of El Amparo have daytime action. There wasn't much info so I vouched to do some research on my recent trip. So here is the intel.
Unfortunately the answer was no, the clubs do not start filling with chicas until around 8 PM. There 4 clubs relatively close to each other. Allondro and Travesuras is right on the main Avenida. Then if you make a right at the Texaco you will see Cacique Club and Chicas Lindas.
Prices range from 70 k in Cacique but girls are fatter, bigger butts etc. Allondros and Travesuras ranged from 80 k to 100 k for BBBJ included and had much better looking girls. A taxi from Centro will run around 12 K.
Be WARNED that this is NOT THE BEST AREA. There is not the police presence to protect the gringo tourists. I would not go unless you are with a local. Might be a better bet to STICK TO THE KNOWN PLACES which have alot better options.
So my search for daytime action did not stop there. I found Europa which advertised as 24 hrs of pleasure. It is located close to where all the buses pick up outside of Getsamani. I went in and was approached right away by a beautiful costena from Santa Marta named Solame. Priced me 250 K.
I was not staying anyway but she was gorgeous. I soon left since I was meeting a local chica I know, but the place is worth exploring.
Hope this helps.
Flaco.
[QUOTE=Newyorkino;1757224]In all reality its a great bargain. Remember we are talking about stunners. 350 k to 500 k LT. That means you get to enjoy that stunner for 12 to 15 hours. You pick her up lets say 11 pm, she is not going home till 1 or 2 in the afternoon the next day and if she really likes you she will stay till she has to work about 6 - 7 pm. In USA stunners are running you about $200 an hour. 350 to 500 K for 12 hours bargain.[/QUOTE]What you really don't understand is that you are not in the USA! Why you should pay so much money for few hours when 99% of people in south America live with salaries around 300 dollars a month or less!
Other people around the world want to fuck Colombians too but they have not USA salaries and everywhere you gringos go with that mentality prices keep going up. Same will happen in Cuba as soon as Americans will massively go there after the embargo lift.
I mean you should try to pay local prices and not exaggerate thinking of how cheap that is compared to the USA because you can not compare USA with a 3rd world country.
I also understand that as soon as the chica looks at the gringo she will ask 4-5 times more, but you have to be aware of the prices and possibly negotiate as all of people in south america do.
Unfortunately in my experience everywhere gringos settle, prices are rising and a lot! This is not referred to chicas but to properties and services as well. So you'd better be aware of that which is affecting other people too.
And try to understand what the real prices and costs are.
I appreciate your "local know how" makes one less thing for me to think about.
Jet blue has these us $250. Are / t fares. It is just so easy to pop over from Miami. I like the chica I know from Medellin. This is a very big deal for her to fly to CTG. If it works well, I will do it again and again.
I have always had good luck with Jet Blue flying in the USA. I hope it is all smooth to CTG.
When I leave, my chica's flight is 3 hours before mine. Anything to do neaR the airport. Are we better off leaving separately and I'll hand at the hotel for a few hours. Asmall airport with no a / see and poor internet is not my idea of a pleasant three hours.
Any good restaurants near hotel Dann or recommended in the old city? I tend to prefer plain food which is not too greasy.
Sorry, that you did not see the hours that are posted on the List.
I am still confused by what you said "on the main road"?
I see Diagonal 31, and Carretera De La Cordialidad. I guess you mean Diagonal 31, right?
There is also a Casino Bar San Pedro and a Terraza bar La Sede shown on the Google Map in the area.

Hopefully that was just a typo of your reference to Miami, because if you show-up at MIA to catch your Jet Blue flight from South Florida, you're at the wrong airport, LOL.
My favorite thing to do near the airport in the last 2-3 hours before flying out of CTG is to bang a chica in one of the well-appointed love motels that are quite close bye. There are 3 that I know of, 2 of which I have used and will use again without hesitation. Now you may be saying, but my chica's flight just left big dummy. Well that's the point. You have your bags, you ride with her to the airport, you see her off, you get your passport stamped, you check your bags and get your boarding pass, then you have a new chica (independent working girl) show-up in a taxi and the two of you head on over to the love motel for an hour or two of fun before a taxi picks you back up to return to the airport. A final encounter with a different chica an hour or two before you board can be one of the more enjoyable and exhilarating aspects of visiting Cartagena. Finding and arranging for an airport rendezvous isn't difficult, nor costly, as long as you utilize the right contacts, which have been mentioned within the forum over the years and can typically be gained from others who frequent CTG via private messaging.
If your reference of an airport without air conditioning and wifi is directed toward Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG), I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised. Have you been since the expansion / remodel?
There are all kinds of good restaurants in Cartagena and "plain food" certainly won't be difficult to find either, LOL. May I suggest checking out the rankings and reviews on Trip Advisor? You'll find plenty of choices in the Old City, Bocagrande and Getsemani.
Have fun!!

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;1760301]Exactly. But when these guys get through not minding paying 300,000 now because it is only $100 and way cheaper than home and it is their money and they are on vacation, then they leave having set a precedent and the shit swings back to 1650 then everybody else is stuck paying $181.[/QUOTE]I understand what you are saying. I agree. What I am trying to say is that for a stunner I don't mind paying 500 k for LT. I am not giving just any girl this kind of money. A pretty girl about a 7 or 8 out of ten is not getting more than 250 k long time from me. And believe me I'm not taking stunners out every night. That is a rare occasion. We all have to negotiate with these women, I agree and I do negotiate. Try to keep the price as low as I can, but when you are in the Pley club and that stunner is not coming down from 500 k I don't mind paying. I know I'm getting super great service from that girl. I never been disappointed from a girl there yet.

There was some posting about long layovers in Ft Lauderdale 5-6 hours. I originate in SE Florida so not an issue for me. If you have a long block of time for layover, there are many quality, well priced se Florida beauties within a 20 minute cab ride from the airport.

[QUOTE=MikeMillen123;1766514]Flaco,
Can you give us more information on these? I'm going in 2 weeks and still researching places.
Thanks![/QUOTE]Scroll down a few posts to see my info.
Before I start, I just want to say thanks to everyone on this thread that helped me out. 99% of my information came from you guys, and it's coming very handy so far.
So I got here yesterday around 2 pm. My cab driver was real cool. I ran all of my errands (groceries, cash, sim card) then got settled in and went out. My cab driver sent two girls to my room. One was hot, the other one not so much. We're 5 guys so those girls called up two more friends. The friends were actually hotter than the original two girls. All the girls were natural, but no big boobs or big butts. I don't have pictures of any of them because I really wasn't interested in them, but if anyone wants the number to the cab driver that called them, let me know and I can provide that. It was still early, around 9 pm, and we went to the reloj. It was pretty empty. Lots of tourists eating and drinking, but not a lot of girls. Tu Candela was empty. Mister Babilla was empty. A lot of people said it was because it was early and it was Thursday. Also, it was crappy weather so I'm sure that played a part.
Went to ISIS. Holy crap. The only guys there were me and two friends. All the girls there were beautiful. It's weird because I'm used to pros coming up to you and pressuring you, but it's not like that here. None of the girls approach you. You have to approach them. We then went to Pley Club and same thing. All the girls were beautiful. It was more packed, though. By this time, it was pouring outside so it was really hard to get around. The streets flood here like crazy, and it happens within an hour.
We then went to LDV and it was pretty empty there, too, but there was still a bunch of super hot girls. Took a girl from there that was great. I think her name was Sandra. Dark skin, black hair, perfect body, and amazing big natural boobs. Super perky, great nipples. I was amazed when she took her dress off and her boobs stayed in position. Zero sag. She wanted 300 k. Talked her down to 200 k. Never asked for the money until the very end that we both almost forgot. She was great. Super cool. Never mentioned anything about time. We went at it for like 2. 5 hours until we couldn't anymore. She went back home because she had school this morning, but on her way home I texted her telling her to grab clothes and sleep here. So she did, except when she came back I completely fell asleep. I regret not taking any pictures. For whatever reason, it didn't ever occur to me to start taking pictures. I was too caught up in the moment. Hopefully I'll get with her again so that I can take some pictures.
We're going to Casa Rocio in a little bit, so I'll have another report later on today.
If anyone has any contacts for girls with big naturals, please PM me.

I come from the other side; lazy, fair income, months of vacations.
400k via an agency is my tops; I payed for a +9/10 for 1,5 hs in Medellin, just to have tried it once.
200k for a 9 for 1,5-2 hs. And a TLN 300k for a 10. TOPS! With no "propinas". But even that is away to much. 200TDL, BBBJ, no blaha about extras; We are overpaying like hell! Give the waitress a 20k propina instead, she does more work for her money! A lot more! And I have, gotten celnumbers from goodlooking ones, not on daily basis, but it happens from time to time.
My paisa friend once told me" They have Nothing, and they have opportunity of Nothing".
Use that thinking when operating in your work as an economist or other highly professional work!
Take some pericero , a lot of make-up, high-heels a short pink dress and a fake smile; You have the upperhand! But since you dont think, you accept ridiculous high prices!
500 k. Guys, going to CGT Old Town is what of course drives prices up and up.. But for Gods sake; there must be a limit to the crazyness!
ISG fellows, we are not here to brag about how much we can spend, bla bla. We are here to help each other paying the current and fair marketprices.
Look at [URL]tusalario.com[/URL]/ Colombia. A lawyer in her 35-45 with top U. Education and more than 5 years of working experience; she makes between 2. 1 and 3. 7 milliom pesos a month.
GoodlLooks is not a career advantage in skilled professions over a certain level. CEO pays for beauty, but not in the official environment.
A few girls can increase their incomes with let's say 5 million a months; but time is limited and being spotted as a prepago; Yeraldin, the girl with the superperfect toned body, and Karen, with an african Queen appearacence; People understand where the money comes from; when the issue comes up, from jealous friends and X-boyfriends; The word get's out! And still a very common extrawork; The shame is so great that it can divide families!
CGT Monger Union; hs; 100 tops, incl. BBBJ, 2-3hs, 150, TYLN, no more than 200.
These girls are on drugs and steal, start fights, the whole kit, which turns that Cartagena Saturday Night Live from an expected Blast, to a Nightmarish experience , wanting you never wanting to come back!
And after 500 k comes 1,000,000. How long before someone here compares that figure with upscale US escort services and declares it "good value for a stunner. "?

The main problem with cell phones or computers in other countries or even in the states is that if you log out of your internet email, it can be b i t c h to get back on.
So, make sure that you do not log off before going out of your home state.
I got lucky in Ecuador because I had a backup email that I did not log out of. So, when the service provider wants to send a text message; which will not work, make sure they have another email address they can send the password to.
I did not have any trouble with my Samsung 3 with their sim card.

Guys,
We want to have a weekend party in Cartagena, we been having issue finding a upscale apartment with no restrictions. Most luxury hotels and some apartments have the "no overnight guest" restriction. Which apartment or luxury house can you guys recommend?
Thank you.
[QUOTE=Cerebro;1749872]Tempoecorto,
Medellin or Cartagena? Before my first trip to Colombia, I was pondering upon those same questions you now have. I ended up choosing Medellin for my first trip and it worked out great for me. In my second trip to Colombia, I traveled to CTG and did not like it that much after being scammed by a board member (Aunsa) and I ended up switching my traveling plan and going to Barranquilla where I had a fantastic time. Although Casa activity in Medellin seems to be the main dish, I think there is plenty on the Medellin menu as far as non pros or regular girls, University girls, facebook chicas, mileroticos chicas, and prepagos that can come to you or you to them, and of course the night life clubs / bars. You may be up to a surprise once you see the talent and how gorgeous those girls at the cheap Casas could be. For a casa starter, I recommend you go to Casa New Life, Zandaly, and Coffee Shop. They are more than 30 Centro casas in case you want to make that part of your morning, afternoon routine. Local women are friendly, gorgeous, and easy to meet and to talk to. To get a taste of the local people, I don't necessarily recommend that you stay in El Centro or the Mayorista areas. Those areas are poor, beat down, not that safe to be around late at night and kind of low class, but that is me. Some people in this board have shared that they have enjoy staying in those areas. J like visiting the Centro daily but just during the day till late afternoon and I loved it, but at night it changes drastically and its not that safe I would recommend middle class barrios like Laureles or Envigado [URL]http://www.medellinliving.com/neighborhood-guides/page/3/.[/URL] They are safer, well situated and not too far from the action (Centro, Poblado, Parque Lleras, or even the Mayorista) and not that expensive and spoiled by tourist like El Poblado...[/QUOTE]Shout out to you Cerebro! I'm planning to go to Medellin in December or January. You gave me a head start on the apartment situation.
Thanks!
Could I please ask for a little advice, will be visiting Colombia and CTG for the first time in a couple of weeks.
1. Which high end hotels are girls friendly. I have a booking at Hilton, is this OK or should I move?
2. How much should I be paying. Don't like over paying or want to cause problems for future visitors:
3. What are the best places to visit for action.
4. Staying for 5 days how much cash should I bring, can I use USD or do I need to change to local currency?
5. Any fun things to do during the day (mongering or not).
6. Will I have a language problem. Just speak English.

Most of your questions have been answered so many times already. Why not to bother to read, but you don't bother to write and ask? You'll discover a new world.
[I]1. Which high end hotels are girls friendly. I have a booking at Hilton, is this OK or should I move?[/I]
None. Move. RTFF. If you paid already to book the worst hotel in town for this hobby, you deserve the penalty. Next time RTFF.
[I]2. How much should I be paying. Don't like over paying or want to cause problems for future visitors:[/I]
From 100 to 250 max. RTFF.
[I]3. What are the best places to visit for action.[/I]
RTFF.
[I]4. Staying for 5 days how much cash should I bring, can I use USD or do I need to change to local currency?[/I]
This question surpasses all others. Why should you expect you could use USD in Colombia? Can you use COP (ok, even EUR) in New York?
[I]6. Will I have a language problem. Just speak English.[/I]
LOL. Guess? It's like some new tourist plunging and speaking only German in Dallas. Sure, someone speaks German in Dallas, but... Good luck. Based on your questions, you look like you'll need a lot of good luck.
[QUOTE=PipiLoco;1777979]Guys,
We want to have a weekend party in Cartagena, we been having issue finding a upscale apartment with no restrictions. Most luxury hotels and some apartments have the "no overnight guest" restriction. Which apartment or luxury house can you guys recommend?
Thank you.[/QUOTE]I do not know your definition of "upscale" and yes some of the apartments I am going to direct you look "dated", and I do not know how many bedrooms you are looking for. But if the issue is having guests then I would bet on the sure thing; Juan Ventura has always been very good to me (he will tell you which apartments are "guest" friendly) so I am oblicated to shill for him andd the last apartment that I sayed in was fairly nice (Playa 301).

Thanks for your advice. Look forward to posting about my experience.[/QUOTE]You best practice phrases for spanish before you go! I have been to Panama, Mexico, France, , Italy, Tanzania, Kenya, Turkey and Thailand (a moment of silence for the reverence of mongering in Thailand.) and there are fewer people speaking English in Cartagena than any of these other places. You will be HELPLESS unless you practice spanish phrases that are practical, you will not understand the answers to your questions so stick to the simple things. FIrst you need to know how to give the cab driver directions. So use Google translator to practice saying "Please take me to. " and write down the address to show them. Next practice your numbers for negotiating with chicas. The last thing you will always say at the end of the negotiation is "no mas de doscientos cincuenta mil por una hora!
Take a lap top or tablet to access the google translator to practice phrases while you are there! The most embarrassing thing to happen to me (sober) in Cartagena was going to the little market in Liguito and asking in spanish for some soup for my clothes (the spanish word for soup sounds like the english word for soap so it popped into my head. If I was't six foot two and over two hundred pounds they probably would be laughing in my face. As I'm sure they did after I left. If you are realy prepared you will get a global phone and buy a sime card when you there so you can have data (practice on Google translator how to ask for the sim card and data) spend around 40 dollars american for the data so you have plenty then you can carry a translator with you that will speak to you if you have an android phone with up to date operating system.
How much cash do you need? How much pussy can you eat and fuck in a given period? I have never had enough money with me in cartagena to satisfy me! ATMs have limits (learn these and vary your ATM machines by providing bank in a day. (do not hit the same bank's ATM twice in a day.

I looked for Juan's apartment list, but can't seem to find the damn thing; little help please?
As others have said, RTFF. Seriously, this information is all on the forums and you did not even make the slightest attempt to read otherwise you would have been able to answer at least 3/6 questions within the first few pages. I will answer number 4 and number 6 for you (as much as I don't want to), and you can figure out the rest.
You do not pay in USD, and unless the USD is commonly used in the country you are visiting then you always go with the local currency (which is the Colombian Peso, COP). I would just use an ATM as they offer better rates than exchange services. As for a language problem, yes you will have a big language problem if you only speak english. Cartagena is a tourist city so I'm sure you'll find a chica or two that can speak very limited english, but if you speak none you're going to struggle. If you're going to use a translator such as Google Translator, you're still going to struggle because it tells the chicas you are new, don't speak english, and are easy to take advantage of (even if you don't think you are). Don't expect GFE if that's what you're looking for, lack of spanish diminishes the chances of that. Colombia is not for easy lays as many people believe, you need to speak some basic spanish without using a translator, and in more advanced cities like Bogota and Medellin you definitely need to have some conversational spanish without a translator otherwise many girls won't even try to speak to you. You need a little more than basic in those cities. If you don't learn spanish, I would highly encourage you to reconsider your trip because the questions you listed give a strong indication that you're either going to struggle big time, or set yourself up for having someone take advantage of you. I wanted to go to Colombia a couple years ago, but upon my research I decided to hold off until my spanish improved. I visited places like DR and SXM while learning spanish, and trying it out with chicas who knew a little bit of english. I did this for about a year before going to CTG, and it helped quite a bit. My spanish is now conversational and I try to avoid using a translator as much as possible, which allows me to have a good time in Bogota and Medellin and therefore I don't go to CTG anymore, which also happens to be more costly (2 x or 3 x as much) than the other cities. So seriously, reconsider your trip until you can learn some basic spanish without needing a translator. Yeah I get that the thought of fucking a hot colombiana is turning you on, but you're not going to have a good time if you can't speak the basics of the local language. There are other destinations you can go to if you have no desire to learn the local language.

I hope our paths cross some day.
For the record I did RTFF but a lot is not clear in the forum.
Now lets examine your response in more detail.
1. Which high end hotels are girls friendly. I have a booking at Hilton, is this OK or should I move?
BP – I have read plenty of stories of guys getting ripped off renting apartments by people like Aunsa and hotels that were Puta friendly but now not, I am not seeing any posts about the Hilton in this forum, in my travels many of the high-end hotels cater to us – for example in Kiev the hotel I stay at has a strip club and security stop the girls when leaving and call your room to make sure you have not been ripped off.
2. How much should I be paying. Don't like over paying or want to cause problems for future visitors:
BP. Why is this a dumb question, I have read the forum and see guys paying up to 500 K for LT, would you prefer people over pay and mess-up the market or ask a simple question to make sure.
3. What are the best places to visit for action.
BP – I did read the forum.
4. Staying for 5 days how much cash should I bring, can I use USD or do I need to change to local currency?
BP – Your response shows how little you have traveled the world. In many developing countries the girls prefer more stable currencies (USD / EUR), for example if you ever visit Russia, you will learn that converting you USD into local currency is a terrible move. Visiting Brazil I have found the ATM's often don't work with international cards and as this forum pointed out they often have low limits on what you can withdraw.
6. Will I have a language problem. Just speak English.
BP– As you might be aware English is very widely used language and in many countries English is spoken at a basic level by the girls, for example Mexico they speak Spanish yet a lot of girls speak limited English, Panama – never had a problem with English, Russia – guess what – they speak Russian but many of the girls speak English.
BP – Many thanks for taking the time to read my post, but how about providing more constructive advice to your fellow members who actually help pay and support this forum.
[QUOTE=Tomjackin;1779764]Thank you sir!
I hope our paths cross some day.[/QUOTE]Sorry my link showed listings in Spanish; but here is a brief look at one of Juan's apartments and how I added to the decor. Sorry about the fish eyed lense distorition; I was trying to get the widest angle with what I had to work wtih. As for her; it makes me feel like such the philanthropist to contribute to the educational fund of those sweet young ladies who visit Cartagena from the other Colombian cities ;)
I'd stay at the Hilton Cartagena if traveling with wife, relatives, business colleagues, etc. If the emphasis of my travel was to bang a different working girl everyday and to bang them where I was staying, I'd do as has been suggested here 100's of times, I'd rent an apartment from Juan. Since you've read from the two guys who chose not to heed the caution of a couple of others about Aunsa, I think it's safe to assume you've also read the numerous recommendations to just keep it simple and rent an apartment from Juan.
If you feel you must stay at the Hilton, and want to bang multiple p4 p barrio girls a day, banging them in one of the well appointed love motels would be my recommendation. You csn find motels on the list put together by WorldTravel69 on the Cartagena List thread.

I read lot of topics and have the same questions Uk4444 has.
Sorry but I can t find answers to my questions.
Coming Cartagena in February for the first times.
I want to stay near the centro, or get semani.
Can't find an apartment or an hotel for my need (chica friendly) at decent price.
I do not need a woman for every night but have a chance ' to decide it, yes!
Thel motel is out of discussion (I only take girls for all night or nothing) and Laguito and Bocagrande are too distant for me, I wish go here for playa only (with bus), not nightlife.
Speak Italian a decent English, french and Portuguese, just start to learn Spanish (easy language for me) so don't think have problem here.
However if I don't find nothing will try Edificio Conquistador, has good price, is chica friendly?
Is possible to find apartment near clock tower when I'll come here?
And another question there are bus to go centro-Laguito until 22-00 23-00 ? Want to take taxi only in the night. I'm not rich just a normal person 40 years old, in all my holidays like to know local people.
Thanks. And sorry to annoy someone.
I don't argue you have lots of experience in the world, but your words clearly demonstrate not only that you have no experience in Colombia, as you admitted since the beginning, but also that you have no idea that this country can be different. Come and learn yourself, if you don't believe.
Nothing wrong, but do not argue if my response is not what you wished.

Hilton: It has been written countless of times that all upscale hotels do not admit girls or apply high fees. Hilton is particularly known to make problems. When you see it, you'll understand it's impossible to sneak through security.
Apartments: Aunsa is well known. Why not to rent an apartment from a trusted person? That is someone who has been mentioned many times here? You can also PM someone.
I am now sitting in a very comfy apartement. Yesterday I partied hard with two girls, who made love furiously each to other laying down on the balcon in front of the sea, under moonlight. I am grateful everyday to the ISG members who "forced" me to rent an apartment the first time.

[/QUOTE]OMG! Treason!! LOL. You have no idea who you are talking to. Seriously: I think I posted reports in ISG from 20 or 30 countries (I am counting today 1130 posts, you just reached 25).

In Asia: Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China PRC, Taiwan. In Africa: Ghana and Uganda. Also from USA. Australia. Kuwait. Plus Europe and where I did not post any report.
You are right saying "In many developing countries the girls prefer more stable currencies (USD / EUR)". But you are in Colombia, not in Russia. Try a search for "ATM" in the CTG or any Colombia thread.

When I 1st went to Cartagena over 15 years ago there were few apts to rent that were acceptable. I stayed at upscale but then I was paying 65-100 a night for really upscale rooms. Initially the Hilton was not possible for chicas but after some good tipping and several stays they accomadated me. I know that there are upscale hotels in the old city that are workable, but it will cost you and I am not talking 1 10,000 peso tip. I know people that stayed there, no wasn't worth it to know the name since I have apartments here. There arevlots of upscale apts now, look at airbnb, Cartagena has grown up. One of my rentals has just been renovated, the Pirate apt in Marinare. New a / see, tvs mattresses, closets and bathrooms redone, etc, furniture. I will never get back what I spent but I wanted it to be where I would want to stay. Still making some changes, great apt, soso bldg.
I know that if I stayed at the Hilton or Charleston today I would not getb the same treatment as 14 years ago. Caqrtagena and Colombia has grown up, but there are good options available now for rentals. The only guy I completely trust in Cartagena is Juan Ventura. In Medellin it is Barry at Poblado, smartest guy in business there, IMHO.
Enjoy the life.

MOTELS (see below).
In Colombia the concept of motel is different than in Europe or USA. Search the Medellin thread for my posts entitled "Chimba de hotel" to have an idea.
You can stay a few hours, have a nap, and still spend not too much.
BUS.
Forget the bus. Pointless. A taxi from Bocagrande to Laguito is 6 k COP (1. 75 EUR) and takes 5 minutes. Lots of taxies at any time and anywhere. Silly to spend 30 minutes or more to make the transfer just to save 1. 50 EUR (yet a lot in % terms).
ALL THE NIGHT.
I do not recommend you to hire a girl for all the night since the beginning. You have to promise lots of money and you are not sure about the experience. I recommend to negotiate for a shot. Most girls (except sharks) do not look at the clock. May stay longer if they feel well with you and you stay in a nice place, offer drinks etc.
If it's good and there is chemistry, you can offer more money after the first shot to have her stay with you till breakfast. That is priceless, with the right girl.

I agree 100 percent. If a Colombian girl likes you and you are partying she will stay for hours. There will be no problem if she likes you. I have had girls stay hours 6-7 hours for short time foe no more dinero.

Only know Brazilian girls, and almost always have been with me all night.
Also meet some regular girls and same things. Great passion!
Hope to stay well like in Brazil!
Hello all,
I have found great help in this forum before my trip to Cartagena so here's a little bit of experience from my first visit in early September.
Hope people find this a bit.
Where I stayed:
Throughout my readings here I always heard about Juan Ventura and the apartments he provided for rental in Cartagena.
I was able to find a few of his listings through AirBNB most of them located by el Lagito.
The place I stayed at was girl friendly as long as they showed their ID.
The last few days however they started charging 20 k pesos per guest which It seems to be norm in most places around.
Girls:
Again, referring through the reading I did here most of the action was to be found el la Torre del Reloj (clock tower) and Dolce Vita from I remember.
My friends and I however found plenty of "working" girls through Tinder. Most of the girls were 8's and up so they were pretty good looking.
We had good success and met pretty cool girls through here.
Takes me to the next point, we did not get a chance to visit Dolce Vita due to the same reason. It was just so easy to talk to them through Tinder and / or whatsapp and make them go to your apartment.
Prices ranged from 150 k-200 k / HR.
Torre del Reloj, we went there a few times.
Friday and Saturday were obviously packed, plenty of choices as fas as that goes.
Went there on a Sunday and it was pretty empty and not the same quality and quantity compared to Saturday and Sunday.
We only got girls from here once the week I was there and price was around 150 k / HR. Pretty good looking girls as well. I am pretty sure there were cheaper but obviously the looks go down in my opinion.
We also tried Tu Candela once it seemed to be filled with working girls as well.
Nice place, didn't stay there long though.
Hope this little bit of info helps people in here and any questions I'll try to answer them.
Black Page and Forum.
Many thanks for the advice. Black Page you are clearly very active in the forum (respect) and thanks for taking a few of my comments with a good sense of humor.
Based on everyone's advice I have been in contact in Juan about an apartment.
Because of my lack of Spanish can I ask for any advice on hiring a wingman / guide. Can anyone recommend someone. Feel free the PM.
BTW. I did RTFF and emailed someone of the guides mentioned in the post by Tomjackin but not had any responses, maybe old info.
Thanks for any thoughts.
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1780298]I don't argue you have lots of experience in the world, but your words clearly demonstrate not only that you have no experience in Colombia, as you admitted since the beginning, but also that you have no idea that this country can be different. Come and learn yourself, if you don't believe.
Nothing wrong, but do not argue if my response is not what you wished.
Examine also the thread.
Hilton: It has been written countless of times that all upscale hotels do not admit girls or apply high fees. Hilton is particularly known to make problems. When you see it, you'll understand it's impossible to sneak through security.
Apartments: Aunsa is well known. Why not to rent an apartment from a trusted person? That is someone who has been mentioned many times here? You can also PM someone.
I am now sitting in a very comfy apartement. Yesterday I partied hard with two girls, who made love furiously each to other laying down on the balcon in front of the sea, under moonlight. I am grateful everyday to the ISG members who "forced" me to rent an apartment the first time.
Did I say yours was a dumb question? It is not. I answered "From 100 to 250 max". Today I change: "From 100 to 300 max." Girls became more greedy. Not enough? If you RTFF, you'll collect enough statistical data. RTFF is the best advice.
If you RTFF, you know everything. No need to ask again such a general question. If you RTFF, you might ask "why LDV could be better than Opera? Then get a debate on pros and cons.
OMG! Treason!! LOL. You have no idea who you are talking to. Seriously: I think I posted reports in ISG from 20 or 30 countries (I am counting today 1130 posts, you just reached 25). I finished 48 pages of my last passport in 2 years. Let me try to remember some of them. : Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Mexico, Guatemala. In Asia: Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China PRC, Taiwan. In Africa: Ghana and Uganda. Also from USA. Australia. Kuwait. Plus Europe and where I did not post any report.
You are right saying "In many developing countries the girls prefer more stable currencies (USD / EUR)". But you are in Colombia, not in Russia. Try a search for "ATM" in the CTG or any Colombia thread.
This surpasses all others. Don't explain us how much English is used in other countries. We explained you how is Colombia. Now try yourself your experience. Easy.
Try this:
1) Go to the CTG forum
2) Search for "Black Page" and go back from 2015 till 5-6-7 even 8 years ago. I posted some useful ones, which are still 100% valid.
3) Neglect posts like this one and select reports.
4) Enjoy! You're set. Happy holidays.[/QUOTE]

I was browsing this thread for the current situation of Dolce Vita and Elektra. Some time ago the manager of DV was looking for other premises closer to the center and Elektra has a history of having been closed from time to time. Could someone say whether they are still up and running where they used to be in 2013?
I am planning a trip to Cartagena for October 2016 can anyone tell me if Elektra will still be open when I arrive?
Thank you!
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1780413]PM me and I will explain you more.
BUS.
Forget the bus. Pointless. A taxi from Bocagrande to Laguito is 6 k COP (1. 75 EUR) and takes 5 minutes. Lots of taxies at any time and anywhere. Silly to spend 30 minutes or more to make the transfer just to save 1. 50 EUR (yet a lot in % terms).
[/QUOTE]To demonstrate that Back Page is right about the taxis being everywhere anyone can go to Google Street View Maps in Caragena and see for themselves. I just got on Google Street Maps in El Laguito and "drove" from the Hilton to where the road splits right before you get to the plaza where LDV is (on Google Maps its called " Caf Disco Bar la Dolce Vita" ; this like a two to three block stretch. There were 12 taxis. But the larger point is that Google has Street View Maps for all of Cartagena. Its a GREAT resource to familiarize yourself if you have not been there!

Also does LDV still have free lancers? Are they beautiful? Is there a drink minimum? What are the hours of Elektra? Inquiring minds want to know.
[QUOTE=MojoBandit;1779485]I do not know your definition of "upscale" and yes some of the apartments I am going to direct you look "dated", and I do not know how many bedrooms you are looking for. But if the issue is having guests then I would bet on the sure thing; Juan Ventura has always been very good to me (he will tell you which apartments are "guest" friendly) so I am oblicated to shill for him andd the last apartment that I sayed in was fairly nice (Playa 301).

When I tried the above link from my emails from juan I had no problems but when I click in it here it presents a blue screen. Maybe some othiner members can shed light on why it does this. This is from an email that is a few years old;
try this, copy and paste this into your browser: http://www.venpro.net/fotosapartamentos/index.htm[/QUOTE]Mojo,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my message, by upscale I mean penthouse (no less than 3 rooms). I'm getting the same Blue screen =(. Now I have zero knowable on the scene in Cartagena, from the reading seems the prices are way higher than Bogota and Medellin. So as of now the best option for girls is tinder? Or the tradition working girls houses?
Thanks guys.

If you around at the end of month lets have a drink or 2 or 3 or.
I am in Puerto Vallarta at the moment, as it is blue marlin fishing time here with a couple of Marlin and Sailfish tournaments in October and November.
LDV Update from my trip in the beginning of September.
There seems to be many different versions of what happening down there. I thought I could help clear up at least Dolce Vita as I went there (9) (including 2 Fridays) straight nights and spent anywhere from 2-5 hours there each night.
I am extremely picky (yeah I know they all say that-But I am) and I will not leave with "any" chica just for the sake of boning. If the girl gives me the slightest indication that she's a "pro" I am turned off completely. (By pro I mean someone who does this for a living most every night) I am in a constant hunt for the "newbie" or "semi-pro" who does this sort of thing "on occasion" to pay the bills. Of course I've been fooled. But that's not important. What's important is that.
I think this in my head. After spending the last 10 years going to Brazil I have become pretty good at sniffing "semi pros" out going to "Help" and then "The Balcony". Never liked the termas and the thought that these girls were factory.
Fucking.
After my first trip to CTG I am very happy to report that this type of "Clean Cut" - "non jaded" - "Newbie Type" girl does exist at LDV. And also need to say that the quality of woman far exceeded my expectations. Out of 9 straight nights I pulled Hotties out of there 5 of those nights. ALL whom had Hot bodies (none over 125 lbs) . I know a face scale can be "relative" . But the "worst" I pulled out of there was 7. 5 (She had a killer bod to compensate and was also.
Super sweet). All the rest were solid 7. 75,8, 8, and up to an absolute stunner that was an 8. 5 in my book (On my scale a 10 does not exist) so she was hot hot.
Now some helpful INTEL and observations on LDV. In no particular order. First. It really does not get going until 11 pm at the earliest (That's when you will likely have the best selection). The best night of all nights is Friday (By far).
They have "theme" nights every Friday night and these girls as well as the LDV staff really get into this. One Friday was "All White night" the other was " Wear your white with black ribbon Cartagena Hat". Not important you dress up BTW.
(though it couldn't hurt). I found the later in the week was better atmosphere and quality (Thur / FR / Sat) But don't count out Sun / Mon / Tue / Wed. They seemed to be a little more hit and miss but by all means there was usually.
"something" of reasonable interest in there.
One thing I did not like was the "1 hour quote". In Brazil I always tried and negotiated for the entire night but that's just not prevalent here. The one hour standard rate here (For the 7. 5's - 8's) girls was 250 k-300 k CP. For the stunner I.
Pulled wanted 400 k CP and I did not even bat an eyelash when she quoted that. Now. For the Spanish Speaking issue. Yes this is a HUGE advantage to be able to do this because 90% of them speak no english. Me being 100%.
Caucasian Gringo shocked the living shit out of them when I belted out my Spanish (I had worked for Club med in Mexico for 3 years and learned mostly there). I am not "fluent" but absolutely "conversational". So what I was able to do.
To differentiate myself was to chat these girls up a bit (to see if I liked them) before I ever mentioned a price. This did payoff and I was able to do 2-3 hour sessions with some for 350-400 k once I had built a rapport. But Just because.
You don't speak Spanish don't think its a deal killer. These girls know enough English to quote price. One huge thing. They will always try and work you to pay there taxi on the way out. THis kind of pissed me off so once I got.
Wise to this once a price was quoted I would say for all. No taxi! (Para todo. No taxi) and they all would go along with it. If you do pay for taxi. You should not have to pay more than 10 k CP as most of these girls are living or staying in Boca Grande. But clear this up front so they don't try and work you for more.
What was on the sex menu?. Pretty much everything is negotiable. For fun I always bring down fun sex toys to play with. (buy on eBay-ship from China are less than $5 each). Many have never used these as they nor there men can.
Afford them so they get a kick out of it. I always made sure they understood 1 hour means 1 hour. Not 1 POP. Just in case I was a 3 pump chump I didn't want them leaving after 2 minutes ha ha ha. I was surprised that the stunner.
Was the most uninhibited allowing me to pull my favorite porn CIM finish. The most sexy girl next door innocent one I had was a student from Barranquilla. 22 Tall, long dark hair, super feminine super sexy. Took the bus from.
Barranquilla (1.5 hrs) (For Friday Night) to make money to pay for her English lessons. After a stellar sessions I ask her in Spanish "what are your dreams" Know what the first thing she says?? " A new rack" ! I almost busted.
Out in laughter thinking she was joking. But NO. 100% serious. I told her. "What a great dream" and went in for 2nd.
Overall a great time in Cartagena. I would have to say me and my buddy I was there with (gringo who also speaks Spanish) absolutely killed that club. The owner "Aldo" Italian guy super cool in his late 50's prob been in this business.
Since he was 19. Say Hi to him and introduce yourself. (can't miss him-he is an obvious VIP). Its definitely worth it. We also became good friends with the door and bar staff the fastest way possible (Throw tips at them) and they took.
Great care of us and gave us great lowdown on any particular girl we were interested in. I did pop in to Tu Candela and MR Babilla but can't say I gave it a fair shake. I did walk the famous Hollywood beach and found the women there.
To be absolutely skanky so I always mongered at night. Gave a call to a Guy (on mil eroticos) who reps 10 different girls some who are models. Sent me some pics of some hot ones he guaranteed were real pics. Wanted $500 k for 1 hour.
So I thought that was a bit steep and passed. Also one of the kind members on this forum said he did extremely well at this clock tower (that I never made it to also). Now for the big news. I just booked my next trip to CTG Nov 29 to Dec 5 and will be rolling down there Hans Solo for another week of debauchery. Hit me up with a message if you care to collaborate on some chicas. I would be happy to help out any way I can!
Mikeyshouse out!
I am in Cartagena for several days and have spent the last three late evenings at the Torre del Reloj scouting out the girls. The first two nights, due to the holiday, were fairly busy with many people about and not all were mongering. Many tourists were out late. However, I estimate anywhere from 30-40 girls passed through from 11 pm to 1 am when I left. Last night, though the number of girls were around 15-20 though it did appear to become busier after 1am.
Since I am quite particular and did not see anyone of interest, I kept my powder dry on Saturday and Sunday. Many of the girls were quite chubby or gordita with quite a few silicone bags about. Really not my thing. I may even have spotted a tranny or two as some of these girls? were of the linebacker variety. I even brushed one off on Sunday eve who sat down next to me as her voice seemed a bit deep.
Last night, I was sitting on the bench for quite a while when I spotted a PYT (pretty young thing) on an a opposing bench working her cell phone in a concentrated manner. We glanced at each other a few times and then finally she came over and sat next to me. We exchanged greetings and she immediately asked if I would like company to which I replied not tonight. Our conversation was all in Spanish and though I am not totally fluent, I can speak enough to have a reasonable non complex chat.
This girl was young, perhaps around 20-21 yo, petite, and with a canela skin color. Really pretty and seemed quite nice, nicely dressed, and well mannered. She told me that she was from MDE and lived in the north of the city (I am trying to remember the name of that neighborhood in the northern part of MDE--Bello?) as I have met a few girls from there in Reloj in the past, who have provided excellent service.
She told me (her name is Karen) that she was attending MDE university where she was studying forensic science, had been in CTG for a week staying at a small hotel in Bocagrande, and was returning to MDE next week on the following Wednesday. She also said that she had no babies and the photo of a child on her phone belonged to her aunt who she lives with in MDE as her parents are deceased. She said her tuition cost was $2. 2 mm per semester.
So far, she is checking all my boxes as I prefer early 20's, non-pros, uni students (if possible), with the desired flaca and petite appearance. She also said she liked to kiss and asked me the same, and as a bonus liked to drink rum. Her beautiful cinnamon skin color also sweetens the deal for me. Her bio seems almost too perfect to be true, which is my only real concern. Maybe I just hit the jackpot too. Let's hope!
I was not interested last night due to the late hour and I have been thinking about doing a late afternoon session instead, which I proposed to her for today. She seemed quite pleased with this idea so we exchanged phone numbers. Around this time, I asked her price and she quoted $100 USD for two hours and I indicated dissatisfaction at this price whereupon she decreased her price to $250 k COP. I still have not committed to the offer but it does not seem entirely unreasonable given how attractive she is and her overall demeanor.
I also mentioned that I was going to Santa Marta at the end of the week and was staying in a nice hotel there. Naturally, she expressed an interest in providing company, which I will consider depending on todays session. Kind of curious what other members might offer for a three night weekend in Santa Marta? I was thinking $200 COP per day or $600 COP for the weekend though I may be creating a pricing dilemma for myself if I pay her the $250 COP that she is asking for today.
Going to be I town early to Mid November. Looking for any fellow mongering amigo looking to prowl the streets together.
PM if interested.

I like the fact that you are digging her scene. To me this is a crucial deciding factor in this because you could easily pay 250 COP for just one hour for some gorda fea you "weren't that attracted to". $250 COP for 2 hours for a chica you are attracted to and also "like her company " is a no brainier! Great find. As for the Santa Marta thing. First of all I would make that entire "Santa Marta" package deal contingent upon your "test drive". We all tend to think do our best critical thinking once we've "emptied the wine cellar". Meaning try the 2 hour deal and then see how you feel after. It sounds like you already realize these girls get like zero opportunities for a free trip + daily stipend. My buddy (who is a true stickler) always says "I will pay your trip-all expenses, But anything we do in bed is just part of the deal". He actually has pulled this off successfully a number of times BUT personally I would pay also. I think the deal you are offering her a great deal for her and she would be stupid not to take it. Whats she going to do troll the beach and probably end up with some guy she doesn't like anyways. The fact you 2 have chemistry is a bonus for her also plus she is guaranteed.
That money will come in over 4 days with you now. Now is it a good deal for you? Put this in perspective. Do you think odds are great you will find someone in SM that's as good or better than her? Hell. With how selective you are you may go all 4 days and end up with nothing. $275 US rough at 200 cop per day for 4 days US for 4 days of romping with a girl you like is a great deal. Sure you can get her for less. Throw out a number see what she does. But in the end you can't go wrong with the 200 cop per day in SM. Several times I have regretted in Brazil not paying more to bring a Hotty on the Buzioz trip because she wanted more than what I wanted to give her. I would go to Buzios and end up either empty handed or with a girl I wasn't real thrilled. Please tell what happens!

To follow up on my report from the day before yesterday:
The girl came over to my apartment the following day as scheduled though arrived a 1/2 hour late at 4:30. After a short drink of rum, she suggested we proceed to the bedroom where the first snag immediately appeared as she wanted to be paid beforehand. I never do that for reasons most board members would understand and told her that was not going to happen. I also found her request a bit disturbing as most semi-pros are usually more relaxed about when they receive payment. Subsequently, I began to feel she was more pro than I had been led to believe.
As usual when this circumstance arises, I started to dress, put on my watch etc. When she realized that I was serious and was ending our session prematurely, she changed her mind and said ok I could pay afterwards, mumbling about how she had been screwed before without payment. Yada, yada, yada. The session itself was not too bad but not great either. I also experienced another occasion, as in Bogota, where the girl went to extreme lengths in putting on some antiseptic substance on my privates and herself. This appears to be a new and not appealing trend in Colombia and caused quite a pronounced delay as she searched her bag for this liquid while I was standing there at attention. Also, her promised kisses were of the closed mouth variety so I guess that I need to be more specific with these plaza girls in the future. She also would not do BBBJ. Overall = meh.
We had sex twice in the two hour (shortened) time period. The reason it was shortened was because I could not find my watch and asked her the time. She told me it was 15 minutes later than the actual time, which I discovered later after she had slipped into the bathroom. As she was leaving I mentioned she gave me the wrong time. So I the end, I drew the conclusion that she was not a uni student but probably could be found most nights of the year patrolling around the plaza instead of a MDE classroom studying 'forensics'. For what's it's worth, she had an interesting and beautiful tattoo, not visible with her clothes on, that I will post at some point.
Finally, she did express an interest in accompanying me to Santa Marta. So purely from a financial perspective, I asked what she wanted for two nights (Friday and Saturday) where she would return on Sunday afternoon. Her quoted price was 1 million COP or about $340 USD. For that price, I could have a very good time in Bananas (a local club in SM), indeed.
Just an additional observation and I hope that I am wrong but there appears to be a 'sea change' going on at the Plaza Reloj. Even though this was my first girl from this venue on this trip, I am starting to suspect more of a professional experience will be experienced than not. Basically, many of the girls in the plaza appear to be more professional SW's than I have noticed in the past. I hope that this was just a 'one off' and I am wrong but other members may wish to comment.
Here you go.
Well boys. Landed this evening and after sleeping and setting up phone, realized I probably should have changed out more than just 100 bucks. The rate from camion in Boca grande seems low though and I'm holding off till I can try the old city. There's no shortage of talent though in Boca grande as I've been accosted 3 times so far in the search for dinner. I'm here till Monday so hopefully I'll have something juicy to write. Thanks to everyone that's posted decent ground work.

You might want to try day-time beach pickups since it seems your Spanish is good enough to chat the girls up a bit.
Your main problem is you're too passive. I could tell you were going to have problems with the girl (from your initial report) because she approached you first instead of the other way around. It's extremely rare for a Colombian, pro or non-pro, to make the first move; even a hard-core Colombian puta prefers that you make the approach.
Street girls are trained by life to ask for the money first (no matter how trustworthy you seem) because they've been burned too many times. You don't want a bad service and she doesn't want to get cheated out of her money.
Best way to handle this is to show her the money, then put something heavy on top of it: a lamp, paperweight, unopened bottle of booze, whatever. She gets the money when the time is up (explain to her).
You actually handled it okay despite the newbie mistakes you made; asking the girl for the time? Yikes! Get a large digital clock, jot the time down when you start, LOL, figure out a routine that works for you and TELL the girl what you're doing. What I do now is download from YouTube music sets that last around 60,90, or 120 minutes and convert the videos to just music files. I then start to play the file on my mini speaker when the session starts and explain to the girl the music goes for such and such time. When it finishes, I'll ask her if she wants to listen to more music with me or check out some cool or funny video clips on my tablet or laptop. Sometimes you can extend a session that way.
When the chica realizes that you know what you're doing, that you're not a sucker, but you're cool to hang out with, she'll relax with you and you can probably get a better session.
Yes, you are correct that it's better to auto reject girls that are aggressive in the plaza, or at a club, etc. , as that is not the norm for Colombian girls and other nationalities too. In fact, I did just that several times in the plaza over the last few days. The same approach applies to rejecting girls who wave at you, say hola, etc. Two blacks girls, one spectacular, came over to the Plaza bench where I was sitting a few nights ago and then started to chat. Besides engaging in some cursory conversations, I was not interested in pursuing matters due to their direct approach, which will happen, BTW, all night long if you sit on the benches long enough. They must talk because one night after rejecting a few girls who came my way, the numbers who approach me appeared to decrease once the word got out. Sometimes, I say, 'yo no quiero perder su tiempo". They quickly scramble after that comment.
With the particular girl, who I invited to my apartment, I allowed myself to be deceived by her innocent looks and story line and disregarded that she came over to me first. In fact, yesterday, I was rehashing how we met and realized that my first error with her was engaging in a conversation at all. She was, as another politician once said about Bill Clinton, "an unusually good liar".
This description was also borne out later when she told me the incorrect time at the same time showing me her watch, which must have been rolled forward by 15 minutes. Once I realized a few minutes later, she had misrepresented the time and I called her on it, I realized that this girls representations about herself were completely false. I knew the time when we started -- What I did not know was the current time. Obviously, this is not the type of girl one would take on a excursion anywhere so it saved me the hassle in that regard. Any chance I would take her to Santa Marta went out the window as soon as I realized she was being dishonest about something as simple as the time. I virtually always have my watch on or next to me except for this one instance. So yeah, it was a mistake to ask her the time but sorry I generally expects a certain base level of honesty even in this situation.
I suppose some might say that she quoted me the $1 million peso price to go with me to Santa Marta for 2 nights because she did not really want to go with me, unless it was at an extortionate rate. However, we were seemingly having a good time when this price discussion was talking place so I think her quote was based on her calculation of what she expected to make in the plaza for that period of time when she would be traveling with me. Also, she probably thought or hoped she could get it from me -- Probably has in the past lol...I told her she could think about her weekend price and let me know later but she already had that number in mind based upon how easily it rolled off her tongue. In short, I think this girl does quite well.
You have an interesting idea to keep track of the time with music though not sure if I have the interest to maintain my music vis a vis the time that closely. To each his own.
As far as paying upfront goes, my money was in another room and I did not feel like getting it. She was either going to believe me or leave. In a way, by then, I didn't care as I had determined, much to my chagrin, that she was a pro. Though not mentioned in my report, she was the first girl I have been with ever (that means anywhere) who actually counted the money (5 50's) in front of me after I gave it to her.
I should note that my overall comments about the plaza were in part generated by the success I have had with fun girls there in prior visits. This may have been simply a bad one but it just seems to me that the part time / semi-pro girls girls have dwindled in numbers.
[QUOTE=Phunluv;1787373]Street game is a bit different from picking up a pro or semi-pro at places like LDV. You might want to at try day-time beach pickups since it seems your Spanish is good enough to chat the girls up a bit.
Your main problem is you're too passive. I could tell you were going to have problems with the girl (from your initial report) because she approached you first instead of the other way around. It's extremely rare for a Colombian, pro or non-pro, to make the first move; even a hard-core Colombian puta prefers that you make the approach.
Street girls are trained by life to ask for the money first (no matter how trustworthy you seem) because they've been burned too many times. You don't want a bad service and she doesn't want to get cheated out of her money.
Best way to handle this is to show her the money, then put something heavy on top of it: a lamp, paperweight, unopened bottle of booze, whatever. She gets the money when the time is up (explain to her).
You actually handled it okay despite the newbie mistakes you made; asking the girl for the time? Yikes! Get a large digital clock, jot the time down when you start, LOL, figure out a routine that works for you and TELL the girl what you're doing. What I do now is download from YouTube music sets that last around 60,90, or 120 minutes and convert the videos to just music files. I then start to play the file on my mini speaker when the session starts and explain to the girl the music goes for such and such time. When it finishes, I'll ask her if she wants to listen to more music with me or check out some cool or funny video clips on my tablet or laptop. Sometimes you can extend a session that way.
When the chica realizes that you know what you're doing, that you're not a sucker, but you're cool to hang out with, she'll relax with you and you can probably get a better session.[/QUOTE]
So scored a street girl tonight. Everything and everyone had closed up. She was hungry. Took her to eat across street from hotel and she invited herself up. 100 k for the half hour. BBBJ and multi position. She was terribly nice after having sat and ate with me. Told me no tip after I was trying to give her and that I should consider her friend as well for tomorrow.
Also did the run. Isis play club and Angeles. Pley club is nice but way too over priced. If you feel bored then it's the one for you. Was quoted 150 k for private dance with double for full service. Isis was actually higher but Isis had girls that were beautifully natural and apparently younger than play club. Angeles is a gem. Some big girls but they had about 3 or 4 that were easily 8's and 9's for 75 dollars for the hour on premises. I believe tomorrow Isis and Angeles may be getting my money.

Boys,
All I can say is thank god I left this for the last day. It was amazing! I dunno why I wasted my time or money any where else. For those of you that like natural, tiny girls, ask for Tatiana. Just want to say, I'll be back in Cartagena as soon as I can be. Beautiful girls at the casa and torre de reloj. Casa Rocio is expensive though. Fair warning. And the big fat boss man at the front will press you for a tip. Please leave s much money with the girls and tell him all you have is taxi fare. Now. Casa. Tatiana was almost a complete GFE. Including kissing. She seems younger than the 22 she says she is. And she is affectionate and playful. Be nice and she will be nice. ID post a pic, but I don't have those member privileges. Let me know if you go! Also if anyone needs. I have the numbers of two great taxi men. After many different verifications with the hotel. These guys were only ones to NOT try and rip me off. Let me know if you need the numbers.
Be safe.
Johnson
Yes please provide reliable taxi men numbers.
If anyone is in town Tues, Wed, Thurs night in Cartagena Nov 10,11, 12 . Pm me and we can have some beers and coordinate some adventures.

[QUOTE=Thunder5;1791567]Yes please provide reliable taxi men numbers.[/QUOTE]Almost all taxi drivers in CTG are reliable and honest. Take any from the street. Being overcharged is rare and a "honor" reserved for few bobos who obstinately do not want to inquiry first what are the current rates for most common itineraries.
(FYI: 6 k for Centro-Bocagrande, 20 k for Bocagrande-Airport incl. 2 k tip).
The only pitfall is at night from Opera / Espace to Bocagrande. They know you are going to spend a lot with the girl and you spent a lot already in drinks, so that they tend to not accept to get only 6 k. Just negotiate and balance.
Hey guys, I will be visiting from November 12-15 by myself. Staying in el Laquita. This is my second time in Cartagena. Was there in June, but have been reading and learned a lot here since.

Was wondering if the talent coming off that website is typically quality / photo-accurate in CTG -- I predict being wiped from the trip, spending some time on the beach, and then calling a prepago before I even think about leaving the area. I've also heard good things about [URL]lindisimas.net[/URL], but that's about as far as my knowledge of pulling prepagos without having to make a secondary Facebook page. Anyhow, is this site a good source to start off my trip, or should I look elsewhere?

I rate her blow job skills a 10 with completion in her mouth and swallowed which surprised me since I never had a Colombiana do that with me. She enjoyed DATY and sex in several positions. Being an old fart, I enjoyed the reverse cowgirl so I did not have to work hard. After two loads, she cleaned up and curled naked next to me. She had her head buried in my chest the whole night waking me every now and then with soft kisses and her fingers lightly rubbing my arms and stomach. She would give a quick touch on my cock to see if I was paying attention. If I moved just a bit, she would react like a small kitten trying to get nuzzled up to me. She woke at 6 am and started to get me excited for a BJ. She knew my wife was coming in today and wanted me make sure she left no evidence. I watched that beautiful girl head out the door after giving me a light kiss and hug. As she walked away, she turned and gave a smile and then a sad face. I think she had a good time or was just a great actress.
If you want to find her, go inside the clock tower and she will stand all alone in the middle of the square. Last night she had on a white dress looking like a Roman noblewoman. Look for long black hair. You will enjoy her, she is so sweet.

I am coming to Cartagena on 12-29-2015 and leaving on 12-31-2015. Contacted Juan and he has apartment only available for 12-29-2015 and none for 12-30-2015. I have no choice than to look for some chica friendly hotels. Could any forum member please advice me about any such hotels or any other apartment.
Thanks,
Wilfred
So I'm writing this as my trip is coming to an end. Going to airport about 2 hours.
The first day (Thursday) I arrived around 3 pm. Went to the Hampton hotel where I stayed for one night, I have stayed there before, it is girl friendly and very reasonable in price, no charge to bring girls.
I had two girls come over that I met through Facebook and chatted with on whatsapp. They came up and we had some fun. Was ok, not what I expected and we really talked about, but was 300 pesos total for both 2 hours. We had talked about all day Friday also, but that wasn't going to happen after their kind of boring performance, they did look amazing though.
After that another girl I met on tinder came over and we went to cafe del Mar. Nice place, had a lot of drinks, she saw two very sexy friends and introduced me, but then got jealous when the friend asked for my # haha. However when my girl stepped away to use the restroom I gave it to the friend, she looked amazing and spoke near perfect English.
So the girl from tinder and I went back to the room, she wanted 200 pesos, we had our fun, but then after she started saying we talked about 500, I told her she was crazy, had to even threaten to call security so she would leave.
Next day I moved to an apartment from Juan. Nice and big, pretty clean, close to dolce vita. Only real issue was the warm water sucked, and the place could use a good freshening. New paint. Furniture. Ect.
I had another girl come over that I met on tinder also, wanted 300 pesos for the afternoon. She came over, very sexy, huge rack, we had some fun, walked to beach to have a nice lunch. Went back to apartment for more fun, then she left. Was late afternoon by then, I cleaned up and went to centro. I don't know about you guys, but when traveling I like to go to a restaurant that looks busy, usually means good food. I don't know what time most people eat here, but 7 pm the restaurants were pretty empty. I ended up just grabbing a arepa since I had a huge lunch. Was feeling pretty tired so went back and relaxed in the pool.
Saturday I went to playa Hollywood. Tony found me, recognized me from June. I know there are mixed reports about him, he does know the girls, that's for damn sure. After this being my second experience with him I won't be using him again. Back in June he hooked me up with a cute girl. We go back to the room, start playing, and she has a tampon in! So yesterday he introduces me to a stacked Venezuelan, sexy, but just wasn't feeling it, then he brought a sexy thin, big tit muleta girl. She seemed fun, wanted 200. So I settled with tony (he is such a scammer. I asked all the prices up front and even then he tries to charge more.). So we went back. Went to the pool and relaxed. Then the room and had our fun. It was early, about 1, so I had some lunch. Then to beach again and had tony bring over this truly amazing girl I saw earlier with him. Once again he tried ripping me off, telling me 2 mojitos is 60 k and I need to pay him for girl. Girl owed $ for the umbrella she was in, and if I paid it to him she would charge less, blah blah. So her and I agree, go to apartment. Relax, shower together, I get inside her, slip out after a few minutes and wtf! It's her time of the month! We clean up, she dresses. Tells me I still owe her same amount. I told her no way. We were together about 20 minutes (we agreed to 300, having fun many times, going out to dinner, more fun. Finish sound 8 pm. I gave her 100 and she left. After being pissed about that. I just relaxed in the room, girl from cafe del Mar. Texted me. She is amazingly hot, but wanted 500 usd! For 4 hours, 2 times. I to, the her she's crazy and I blocked the #.
Walked around, had dinner, went to casa Rocio, my first time there. Yes it's really cheap, but what a shithole. Sketchy area, dirty, tiny tiny rooms, was about 10 girls and they were cute. Had a girl and 2 beers for 150. Went to centro, was some huge festival going on, people spraying that foam shit everywhere, I left and went back to apartment, was about 9. Thought I'd make it to dolce vita but ended up passing out!
All in all Cartagena is a nice city, I don't feel there's much during the day except the beach, and since I live on the beach in the USA it's not that exciting.
Everyone is out to scam you, girls restaurants, people trying to sell stuff ect. It is a very cheap place for sure. This is my second time here, not totally sure I will be coming back again, maybe will try the dr next.

Excellent report though; I didn't think to try Tinder in CTG, which sounds like it'd be a super good move to make; I have the feature that lets you change the location you're swiping in, so I might have to build a small repertoire of girls before I come through, just so I don't immediately have to go a-huntin as soon as I touch down in Cartagena.

About Trip Advisor, the ranking of restaurants in CTG is absurd, totally messed up, as you understand after having tried to eat in best restaurants there.
To name another example, according to TA the best restaurant in Cuzco, Peru would be a cafe which serves burgers and sandwiches. :eek:
I remember years ago, the no. 1 in Cuzco by TA was a pub, and the comment by an enthusiast Australian tourist was [I]"Here burgers have EXACTLY the same taste as in Melbourne!! Fantastic!!"[/I].
After meeting Colombian women in Panama on an earlier trip, I knew I had to visit their country. So I'm back from five days and four nights in Cartagena, and thoroughly enjoyed the city and its women! On trips like this, I start out with low expectations, but was happy to get mostly GFE encounters. I stayed in a nice boutique hotel; my room had a large circular bed an added bonus. The first night I headed to the Clock Tower Plaza, which was about a ten minute walk from my hotel. At 10:00 pm, the selection on the Plaza was large and varied what's the expression like shooting fish in a barrel? I poked my head in Tu Candela, but it was dead; the doorman said come back at midnight. I picked up one of the FLs in the Plaza, a pretty woman in her early thirties; her rate was 200 K pesos. Ximena was great; loved to kiss and provided a full GFE. Her English was poco and my Spanish is poco, but we did just fine. I wanted to see her again, so we exchanged phone numbers (I had bought a Colombian SIM card). Back to the Plaza the second night; again plenty available, so I picked up Yuliana who said her rate was 200. Another winner, who started things out with a good massage. She was a university student and spoke decent English. She was ready to stay the night, but at my age, I can't see the point of paying a woman to sleep with me. When I paid her the 200 K pesos, she said she meant USD 200! I told her that was crazy and well over the going rate. She quickly backed down, wanted to see me the next night and gave me her phone number. The third night (a Friday) I went to Dolce Vita. The bar was less crowded than I expected, but there was ample choice. I picked up a young stunning woman, definitely model material. Her rate was USD 100, a little high but probably justified. She too was great and very satisfying. When I paid her, she showed me her wallet was empty. On my last night, I arranged for Ximena to return at 8:00 pm for an early session, then I took her out for dinner. Again, a very satisfying time, and she left after dinner. But this was Saturday night, and I wasn't finished. After resting up a bit, I headed back to the Plaza around midnight. I had a drink in Tu Candela, but the tourists outnumbered the FLs, and I didn't see anyone interesting. Anyway, the music was deafening, and not conducive to conversation. The Plaza was a different story; many FLs were still around and given the hour, they were getting aggressive it was now or never. One was particularly insistent; when I finally convinced her (nicely) that she was too chubby for my taste, she called over three girlfriends. One was tall, thin and busty, and had potential, but I kept getting some strange vibes from her. I left this group and quickly settled on another tall and thin woman. Her rate was 200 K pesos, and she was the least satisfying of the trip; not at all a GFE.

As for your Tinder comment, have you had a negative story from there? I don't know a lot how about Tinder goes down outside of North America and some specks of Asia, so any cautionary tales would be more than welcome; even if I do end up going for it, I'll at least have a vague idea of what actions / suggestions to red flag.

Heading to Cartagena for another week of debauchery Nov 29-Dec 7.
I've been scanning the threads looking for some restaurant tips. Really looking for all types Fine dining to Fast food. Last time In Cartagena my stomach was still queasy from a previous week in Mexico so could not partake in food activities like I wanted to so this time I'm Planning my Eating activities. I read the old old threads and found some suggestions.
But some were no longer open. The ones I did find "Quebracho" and "Carbon de Palo" look solid but does anyone else have any suggestions?
As far as mongering here is what's in store. Made contact with this local with a plethera of girls he refers and there are some stunners in the pics he sent. Thought it was too good to be true but then saw photos of girls I actually met last time there so I asked him their names and he did know them. I will definitely call a few over during the afternoons and see how it goes. Will be going to Dolce Vita as well. Rented an apartment in Laguito and just looked on Google Maps and its practically right next to Dolce. Will try Clock Tower for the first time per "Black Pages" advice too. Not really into the casas as I prefer to live under the illusion that I am actually picking them up with my smooth operator skills and that they in fact "really like me" and of course that this is the first time they have ever done such a thing ha ha. Will get back with a more detailed reports this time that will hopefully live up to OP's standards.
Anybody that wants to get a drink and hang give me a shout out.
[QUOTE=MikeysHouse;1804726]Heading to Cartagena for another week of debauchery Nov 29-Dec 7.
I've been scanning the threads looking for some restaurant tips. Really looking for all types Fine dining to Fast food. Last time In Cartagena my stomach was still queasy from a previous week in Mexico so could not partake in food activities like I wanted to so this time I'm Planning my Eating activities. I read the old old threads and found some suggestions.
But some were no longer open. The ones I did find "Quebracho" and "Carbon de Palo" look solid but does anyone else have any suggestions?

Anybody that wants to get a drink and hang give me a shout out.[/QUOTE]For fine dining, I enjoyed Carmen Restaurant in Centro; it is located at the Amanda Boutique hotel. I stayed at the hotel with a favorita, and we ate lunch there. They had a chicharonne banh mi sandwich appetizer which was spectacular. It is pricey, I think lunch for both of us plus a cocktail each was around 200 k COP.
Another fine dining option is La Perla, which is also in Centro. It is a Peruvian fusion restaurant, the pulpo (octopus) was delicious. Cocktails are good too, try to Piso Sour. I think dinner ran around 120 k COP for 2 people and a cocktail each.
In Bocagrande, La Fonde Antioquena has decent Colombian food, if you're into bandeja paisa and chicharonne. Not expensive, most dishes are under 20 k.
As for Laquito, I normally eat at Riquisimo; steak is decent, I think I had the fried fish last time, which was ok. I prefer the fried fish on the beach; one thing I always get when at the beach in Laguito is the ceviche / camarones from the cart. It's like 12 k COP for a doble.
If I'm ever in the mood for dessert, I usually have some ice cream at Crepes and Waffles in Bocagrande.

[/QUOTE]OMG! :eek:
Chicharrones. Pisco Sour (Peruan national cocktail, so to speak). La Fonda.
I avoid taking seafood from cart in the beach (risk to be overcharged, plus questionable hygiene).
Riquisimo has good meat but it's too much populated by gringos and WGs accompanying them or looking for them.
My choices:
For the best dinner: Santisimo. Good and elegant.
For late dinner: Juan del Mar. Always the same menu year after year, boring, but it closes at 12, so it's often my only choice if I go out at 10 pm. What's annoying is the music, too loud and trivial, it even impedes conversating. The owner is very famous in Colombia (soap operas?) So you see ladies lined up for a selfie with him. He plays his role well, so he keeps his smile on face at all times.
For steaks: Carbon de Palo in Bocagrande if I am late, Quebracho in Centro if I want the best steak.
For ceviches: avoid Bocagrande, go straight to kiosks outside the wall at the right of Reloy (facing it, Av. Venezuela).
For lunch: La Mulata in Centro, or a small restaurant on the beach at Laguito which I do not name it (because I like it keeps small and patronized only by locals: :P).

Its on the second floor, I think a plate of rice & beans with a choice of meat runs 5-6 k COP.
Other places I liked in Centro were Salou (near Cafe del Mar) and Sibaris Wine Bar for tapas and wine (the paella looked good, but I think it's too big for 2 people).
After a week of recovering from my trip to Cartagena, I have had time to reflect on the eleven days spent in Colombia. I arrived on November 9th and checked into my Laquito apartment. I like to stay in Mirador del Laquito because of the location, the pool, and the apartment I rent has hot water and wifi.
I had a quick bite at Riquisimo and then headed to the small Exito store for the ATM located in the back of the store. It allows 600,000 per transaction and I usually did two transactions so that I did not need to venture to an ATM often. The apartment has a safe, so I could keep extra cash and other valuables safe. I picked up some water, beer, and ice so I would be OK for one night.
I decided to head to Rocio's hoping to find a quick release and praying I would find somebody like I found in March. I knew Catalina would not be there since there is so much turnover in these places, but was hoping to find a similar experience. I have kept track of Catalina (not her real name) on Facebook and sent her a message I was in Cartagena. She sent a message back quickly stating she would arrive later in the week. More of her later. Back to my visit to Rocio's, I found a young 19 year old from Monteria. She was playful like most of the girls here, but was more of a girl next door type, which is great if the girl next door is a nympho. Total cost 150 K and 15K for the taxi, he waited on me which I did not want, because they will stick you with additional cash for the time they wait. I usually tip someone to find me a taxi later.
I asked the taxi driver to let me off at the clock tower so I could check out the action. I posted earlier about my experience with that adventure and it was well worth the effort.
So after a day on my own, my wife joined me, so my play time would be thwarted somewhat. The next few days were spent going to Homecenter, heading to the Clock Pub to watch Colombia vs Chile in soccer, watching my wife shop, and laying low at the pool. The Clock Pub is a great place to watch music videos (American music) and the soccer match. The game took place the same day as the Independence day parade with the streets filled locals spraying foam, tossing colored chalk at each other. We made into the pub without getting the treatment and got a table at the back in front of a TV. The place erupted when Colombia tied it in the second half and it end in a tie, so there was still an air of celebration. We headed to a disco where it was mostly groups of singles dancing and sharing alcohol. I was offered many shots and my wife was dancing with anybody who asked.
On Thursday, I got a message from Catalina that she was in town and wanted to meet. Luckily, my wife headed out to shop and get her hair done, so I had about five hours to kill. I met Catalina and headed to a short time hotel for some fun. My wife is open to my fun, but does not want me to be seen with another girl since many people know us in Laquito and Bocagrande. Catalina just turned 22 and is 5'6" and 110 pounds with long black hair. She is a university student working while school is out (she showed me her student ID) at the Pley Club. Her friend Ximena is 19 and also a student. Catalina and I spent a few hours together and never asked for money because we had been together before and remained Facebook friends. She loves oral sex and she is very wet when receiving. I felt her come at least three times and the sheets were soaked with her liquid. She required a condom for sex and afterwards she would cuddle and sleep for a half hour. I gave he 200 K for three hours and she was happy. She said she was open to meeting my wife for a threesome. We agreed to meet again later.
On Sunday, my wife and I headed to the beach and since we have been coming for the past twelve years, Tony called out to us as soon as we were in sight. We got a great spot behind a couple of girls in thongs which was great for viewing, but after a hour or so, they left and two groups of gay guys filled their spot. Whatever people's tendencies are, is no problem for me, but it did make me feel somewhat uneasy when one would gyrate his pelvis in the face of one of the other guys. It would bother me even if a hetero guy would do this in front of a woman. My wife had about a dozen Corona's and I had about half of that. She called Tony over to bring some girls by to take back to the apartment. Tony brought a young girl from Cali to us and we took her to the apartment. The girl quote 300 K for two hours, but my wife negotiated 150 K. I am not usually fond of threesomes because half the time I feel like a benchwarmer waiting to enter the game. The young lady knew how to please my wife and was very active with me. She enjoyed DFK and having her pussy and ass given plenty of attention which I obliged.
After a week, my wife had to leave to go back home and work. I then had two days left to keep myself busy. I called Catalina and she asked to spend the night, but she needed to pay a fine of 100 k to Pley Club. I agreed and she said she would take 150 K for her, so a total of 250 K for TLN with a very attractive college girl. As I was preparing for her arrival, she sent me a message that her friend Ximena would like to join us since she is reserved and did not have any friends with the other girls at the club. I agreed I would help her friend also with the intention of her just joining us for few hours. They arrived around 10 pm and we enjoyed some wine and listened to music. Catalina snuggled up with me on the sofa, while Ximena was shyly sitting across from us. I was beginning to think it was a mistake, but after 30 minutes, Ximena began to loosen up. I found out later it was because Ximena knew I enjoyed oral sex and ass play. Catalina had told her how much she enjoyed my skills, that was the reason Ximena wanted to come with her so she could experience some play with her ass. We went into the bedroom and soon both were on each side of me kissing and playfully enjoying our bodies. Catalina would kiss Ximena's nipples, but I felt Ximena was not into girl on girl action. I gave Ximena some oral sex and played with her asshole, but did not insert my finger because it was too tight. I gave Catalina oral sex and kept going until she had at least three orgasm. I counted each time I felt a gush of hot fluid hit my face and felt her body jerk. I just enjoy looking up at that pretty face of hers and seeing her smile. She got up to get a drink so that Ximena would feel more relaxed with me. I turned Ximena on her stomach and stated kissing her back and then slid between her cheeks. She has a scar in her butt crack to indicate butt implants. She did not need them, but the implants made her ass so firm, you could bounce a quarter off of it. I slid my tonge around her asshole and slid it in as she relaxed. I heard her moan and her body move in rhythm with my movements. After she came, I used her juices to lubricate my index finger and slowly slid it in her tight hole. Soon I had my finger up to the second knuckle and felt her come again. She grabbed me around the neck and kissed me deeply. Catalina knew her friend had accomplished her goal for her first time anal play and she looked at her and said "colito?" She then said looking at me "In English, ASS?" I said yes that is the word and then they high fived each other.
We spent the rest of the night playing around with each others bodies and I got three blowjobs (with condoms) during the rest of the night. Ximena went to sleep in one bedroom and Catalina and I fell asleep together in the other bedroom. They left at 7 am with a promise to come back later to go to the pool at 11 am. When I did not hear from Catalina, I sent a message stating I needed to head out for awhile. She finally sent a message at 2 saying they fell asleep, but would be over in an hour, but were hungry. When they arrived, the day guy would not let both up to the apartment and was rude to them. I went down and we headed to Frisby for a chicken sandwich and much needed liquids. I wanted Catalina alone for a few hours, so I told Ximena that I would spend some time with her at Pley Club later in the night. After, Catalina and I got out of the taxi, Catalina negotiated with the taxi to take her friend back to the club. As we walked past the front desk guy, she smirked at him and discretely flipped him off. We laughed all the way up to the apartment.
Catalina let me take a couple more photos of her with her Adidas warm-up pants and exercise halter top. She did look just like any US college girl especially when she wore her glasses. Her smile, attitude, and model like face and body just made me feel like a young man again. She spent the next few hours with me and she came a few more times. The sheets are totally soaked still from last night and today and I was glad, it was my last night. She curled up next to me and fell asleep for an hour. She then realized it was getting close to the time she needed to be back at the club, so she looked at me smiled and proceeded to give me a blowjob sin condom. Afterwards she asked I do not tell anyone at the club. She gladly accepted 150 K and did not even look at the money when I gave it to her. She soon left and I cleaned up, packed my bags and headed to Bocagrande for last minute gift shopping and take out pizza at the new place next to the Rio Casino.
I headed out to the Pley Club around 11 and walked into a room full of very attractive young ladies from different areas of Colombia. I was almost tackled by a few as I made my way to a table. The music was so loud I could not hear what the waiter was saying, so I mimed bring me a beer. I waited about 15 minutes when I saw my sweet flacita come from through the back door. She saw me at the table and smiled and ran over to me to give me a big hug and kiss. Soon Ximena joined us and they both ordered a Red Bull. After talking for about 30 minutes, I took Ximena to a room as I had promised her, but the damn club demanded 250 K. After tipping the room lady for towels and condoms, I was alone with Ximena. She asked that I do more ass play with her and she wanted to go further than the previous night. She said with a smile she is no longer an ass virgin and wanted to explore more. For the next twenty minutes I licked and sucked her pussy and ass and when she was relaxed I was easily able to insert my middle finger in her ass past the second knuckle. After she came twice, there was a knock on the door which I hate. She then told me that Catalina told her it was OK to blow me without a condom. I just shot my load into her mouth when another knock on the door came. I cleaned up and Ximena dressed me, then kissed me deeply and she wiped tears from her eyes as she said goodbye. She is new to the game and Catalina told me it was her first time doing this since she needed money for the next school year. Ximena went to her room and Catalina took me to settle my bar tab. Damn 57 K for a beer and two Red Bulls!
Catalina went outside with me to get me a taxi. She gave me a long deep kiss and hugged me for a couple minutes. I realize I am just another number in their long lines of men they are with, but they do make it feel personal and you feel like their boyfriend. Catalina has a US visitor visa, so I plan to have her visit for week next year.
I packed my bags in the morning and headed to the airport for my flight to Miami. It was so surreal to video chat with my wife as I was in the waiting area and then receive a message from Catalina providing a small prayer for a safe trip.
Overall a successful trip. One tip for all, keep your contacts because when you establish a relationship, the cost will be more economical.
Very nice report Otiers. I enjoyed reading your adventure in Cartagena. It is nice to see that there are women out that are opened to being with man who have this hobby. By the way, how did you book your Mirador del Laguito and how much was your apartment? And for the other mongers out there, can anyone PM Juan's contact information and your experience with his apartments? Where are Juan's apartments located and how much he charges? Is there a website link to the apartments?

I'm an free academic working just with the problem of important the the informal economy are in Latin America, and one part of that is Colombian export of cocaine.
Instead of calling me "Baloney", Manizales could have started in interesting discussion, giving me new threads to work on.
We are all here to help each other out.
If that guy you mention, who was kicked out from Filipina-thread, is true, what was it based on?; in this thread I find nothing than a few short and positive reports, or rather comments, like "you are a lucky man" and the like.
I have contributed 2014-2015 a lot of info. , that has helped many guys find prepagos, or my specialty, one model was "Girlfriend for a month", which not not be taken literally", it's just a way; have one "novia" + testing others simultaneously. In many aspects, reminding of LegalTenders "scholarship".
Myself I met Isabella, which in August 2014 was No. 1 one on Colombian Cupid. Which never had happen, not so fast and not so long and not that modest price.
I only choose the really pretty ones and, while posting this directly on CC, I was kicked out in 2-3 days. But I got around 50 positive responses. And I send the link to them in PMs.
Money is the world's greatest afrodisiac!
Some girls accept P4 P as a natural thing, necessary to pay the bill, or escape 60 hs. Weeks with 600 mil pesos a month, and 5-10 their income. But there girls that "never" would do it, so the dating-sites are like a mine-field.
Some girls, especially here in Cartagena, model, lawstudent, own apartment on Boca Grande, all high class; always a member on CC and A Foreign Affair and speaks very good English; claims she is not a prepago; but the it just not add up. She have all the social, economical, language -wise as the typical High Class Prepagos of that area have. But she acts like she is looking for a novio, future husband. Our period of communication wet down; since she needed money first; then relationship, more or less so, but she put it in an "literal present", so being a top-model, that made me loose my rationality and since there always where a kind of "hope". This girls, that are high-IQs and manipulative, they can cost you lot of money, since they are good actors, and when in love, I become so romantic that I more or less could sign a marriage contract, by which she could get a monthly compensation, so she could hold the same standard of living, as when me where married. It was a Brazilian couple who told me that; men pays then pay to his X-wife, until she get's a new "victim" and do it all over again.
Hannah Rosin, an american sociologist claims that in today's society, in many cases the females have the upper hand! They can continue as prepagos in another city or country, meeting a rich guy, divorce him; and keep going on with that "strategy", for life. Since men in general no longer have twice as high income vs. The females, they wait to marry until they find one with at least 2 times what she make a month. For an American or Western European the factors are much higher, of course, but the study main point is clear; the laws favours the females, since they are still based on an old much higher different.
This info. Is important and can help men, just about to get married to a +9-10 beautiful Colombiana 10-30 years younger.
What do not help is the cutting of, what could had developed to an interesting discussion on a central issue; How big is the informal cocaine industry worth as part of GNP;.
"Cocain can't be compared with a heavy industry like oil at all. " vs.
"Baloney, I've spent enough time in Colombia to know better, I don't need a calculator, pencil and spreadsheet to figure this one out. ".
Me should all continue to help each other out, and stop insulting other member, you can disagree, but with good manners.
The guys who have help me; I pay if forward to next generation of "Hobby-ists", and also help my absolute favorite girls find clients from abroad; they get better payed and the risk being robbed is minimal, as a poor colombian client is a risk for the prepago. The girls I give potential clients, understand that their theft will be reported, and she loose business!
Co-operation and generosity pays of. For all of us!
CJ Sparrow,
Maybe I do not have any, so now what? I simply tell it like it is, just like in the past when I made comments that you were one strange dude, which is a honest statement. You also might want to try consider reviewing a posters posting history before making your comments, so you can understand why certain comments are made.
Have a great day!

Thanks. Seems like Juan is one of the best options for an apartment in Bocagrande. There aren't many options for expensive Cartagena.
Thanks again.

[QUOTE=OldParr;1807028]You also might want to try consider reviewing a posters posting history before making your comments, so you can understand why certain comments are made.[/QUOTE]I just looked at the member's posting history. Hilarious! What you fail to understand, Old Parr, is that the poor fellow is a Sri Lankan monger. I've spent in total about a month there and never got laid. It's a terrible sport fucking destination. But still the Colombo thread on ISG has over 20,000 posts. So a dedicated monger, someone perhaps very much like you or me, is relegated to looking at photos of women from around the world and just saying "nice." Compared to the average Sri Lankan hooker, they are indeed nice. VERY nice. There are some real hotties in Sri Lanka, but they're not P4P.
By that argument, anyone who lives in a sex prison whether it's North America or many places in Europe should just drop inane comments in a thread anytime they get ramped up by a photo or a story. As someone else noted, this guy could restrain his comments to the General reports of a country or perhaps the admin can give him his own thread like that guy who posts photos of old over the hill providers in the Bangkok thread. The most bothersome aspect is Up Country copies an entire report from a poster and then responds with 'Nice' or something similar.

[QUOTE=Tiny12;1807729]I just looked at the member's posting history. Hilarious! What you fail to understand, Old Parr, is that the poor fellow is a Sri Lankan monger. I've spent in total about a month there and never got laid. It's a terrible sport fucking destination. But still the Colombo thread on ISG has over 20,000 posts. So a dedicated monger, someone perhaps very much like you or me, is relegated to looking at photos of women from around the world and just saying "nice." Compared to the average Sri Lankan hooker, they are indeed nice. VERY nice. There are some real hotties in Sri Lanka, but they're not P4P.[/QUOTE]Old Parr, I'm controversial, strange; I simply want to experiment with new marketing ideas, so critique, pos / neg, is welcomed, to develop.

You are a extrovert veteran and react accordingly.
The Model in Cartagena, practically living next door to the clubs that are packed with modelesque girls, claims to now nothing about such things.
My conclusion is; (her own words), I don't to have to do with such people, I'm a High Class girl.
2014 she says she hardly can pay the rent, 2015, when asked how she can afford to live there at all, she responded with " it's my family's apartment, but I'm still to proud to ask them for economical help".
So since she, is navigation skillfully to avoid to confess the forbidden, being a High Class Prepago. Is to wanting to have a relationship, but circumstances are, in the end, "pay". A 25 yo model in Boca Grande, member of Colombian Cupid, A Foreign Affair, for years, have learned to be a skillful deceptive girl.
I have mostly being interested in how to crack her code, asked Hobbyist reporting from Cartagena about her, but also this type of girl in general in High Class Clubs in CGT.
They act, and think about themselves, as a guy should be happy just being the chance to meet a girl like her. Payment should be accordingly, she means. The feel worth money at US, Eurovel, plus extras for this and that.
It's exciting for a monger to meet the very top notch, that still are in Colombia, but certainly learn English for Tours to the most expensive places most exclusive clubs in any country or continent they can find! The first bordello in the Artic will instantly be filled with Colombians (and Russian girls).
And in many way, everybody must understand must understand what is going on!
I can start dating her, with mutual interest to become husbands and form a family, she says.
But it's impossible to observe all the luxury around her and how she did get that, before graduating Law-school.
I just have to accept, that we men fall in love with irresistible Colombianas, even it's dangerous.
But what is her game-plan?
A foxy "zorra", she makes her moves when she knows it's hard for you to say no to presents, vacations, University tuitions, mixing truth with lies.
She also knows that going out for dinner with her makes me feel like a Winner!
Moving beyond the P4 P game, with the irresistible girl, it's very tricky.
I, for my part, live a "mini-life" when working in Europe; then I change to Maximum-life in Colombia.
I have explored Medelland. Not 100%, but I know my way around.
I would like to do the same in CGT! Since the "High Class" girl are gathered there. Info says that Colombian girls, just like Obamas guys, knows that: here are the very most beautiful girls for hire!
It should be interesting to try to have a relationship with such a girl. If you meet her as prepago, much of the magic is lost. You must always pretend that she is a High Class Lady. Mention the word "prepago" and you are kicked-out!
I have had 3 experiences like that.
People coming from 1st world acknowledge beauty. In Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil; it's natural to show off; and become a beauty star, in a way the we hardly can understand.
I lived at a apartment-hotel in Medellin for a 3 month 2013, Apartahotel Montes. Economical, but very nice, in Estadio 49 b / 67 b. Many businessmen had very beautiful girls with them. When I passed by, with my novia, she was actually my novia, the looks on her mostly, and on me; how these prepagos compares themselves in beauty. It's competition up to that level that; the guy with the most attractive guy is the King.
Adult persons do this in Colombia, while we did it high-school, starting to diminish in collage.
My X-novia, mentioned here, becomes ill of all the stress; university + English classes + Crossfit +MFC-webcam-model, 6 or 7 days a week. She takes Guarana, Taurin, Cafeina, but end's up in a mix-of being both tired and ON, at the same time. She has had it like that for 5 years. She collapses- spend time at the Hospital, up to 2 month, for recovery. She won't compromise with me about any of that. She just Must Be Number One.
Especially her abdomen which might have a few grams, ounces from that just don't go away. But she is tip-top.
That I had 10 kilos overweight, of 105/95, that was OK, only, just "keep up the exercise".
But among the girls; they compete like it is a war! Just (even more) as aggressive as men do, but while we do it with much more focus on the intelligence, political power, incomes and fortunes, titles.
Going to Bodytech is important, but not That important. Bodytech fills up with Hot Girls dressed for success! Being there 6 am-9 am, or 6 pm-9 pm, you see top-class beauty, 75% nude, 25% transparent in clothing. Better than Mango's! Way better! And it gives such an inspiration to workout hard yourself! And these girl gives 100%!
The cost of close 100-200 mil pesos / month is the only service that was much more expensive in Colombia than in Europe. Even a be-gym close to my apartment was expensive, even though their equipment was from the 70th!
Taxi in Colombia is cheaper than public transportation in my country though, hihi!
[QUOTE=MikeysHouse;1804726]"Quebracho" and "Carbon de Palo" look solid but does anyone else have any suggestions?[/QUOTE]I don't know Carbon de Palo but Quebracho is one of my favorite restaurants ever. Great Argentinean steak house has live music too. Every time I am in Cartagena I eat there. Also go check out Cafe del Mar for drinks around sunset, another must do.
Is the average going rate 300 to 500 k peso?
[QUOTE=RomeoJoe;1808218]Is the average going rate 300 to 500 k peso?[/QUOTE]The MAX I have paid in Cartagena is 300 k for TLN and 200 for ST the MAX. Sure girls will quote you $100 or 500 k pesos or something ridiculous but they are just testing you because enough bobos accept that.

[QUOTE=RomeoJoe;1808218]Is the average going rate 300 to 500 k peso?[/QUOTE]Real Time Rates LOL.
Here's what I'm seeing. Have been here since Sunday. Have been to Reloj, Tu Candela, And Dolce. Not a casas guy.
"Average looks 7.0 quote me 200 CP-250 CP per HR at Reloj / Tu Candela. Going rate in Dolce is 250 CP-300 CP per hour for a mediocre to slightly above average (Have not seen anything above 7.5 in Dolce yet but this place heats up as week progresses) . Was with the hottest girl last night I have ever seen in Columbia and Brazil for that matter -she charged 400 (Says she normally charges 500 CP+ but since I am super handsome "Gods Gift OP" I'm only charged 400 ha ha. No but in all seriousness I'm sure she can get it. I would of payed 600+ just to say "I did it". If she had told me she was runner up Miss Universe I would not of batted an eyelash as she is that hot. She was by referral from a guy I met on milroticos. Yes its true if you hold out you can get the price you want as there are lots of Average+ 7-7.5 girls who bargain but if you want the 8's + plan for 400 CP+hour. However the TLN is a great way to grab value as this is when they will definitely bargain. But me being a 3 pump chump 1 hit wonder an hour suits me just fine Reports coming later.

Yes, Washington is expensive.
Guys. Calm down. I've talked to tons of girls at the Reloj recently, 90% of them you can get for 100 k. A few might hold out for 150, but that's about it. Go into it with that mindset. Walk away politely if they try for more than that.
Hello fellas, is anybody interested to team up for a week end of Feb. Early March in Cartagena? Please PM me for details.
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1805197]
My choices:
For the best dinner: Santisimo. Good and elegant.
For late dinner: Juan del Mar. Always the same menu year after year, boring, but it closes at 12, so it's often my only choice if I go out at 10 pm. What's annoying is the music, too loud and trivial, it even impedes conversating. The owner is very famous in Colombia (soap operas?) So you see ladies lined up for a selfie with him. He plays his role well, so he keeps his smile on face at all times.
For steaks: Carbon de Palo in Bocagrande if I am late, Quebracho in Centro if I want the best steak.
For ceviches: avoid Bocagrande, go straight to kiosks outside the wall at the right of Reloy (facing it, Av. Venezuela).
For lunch: La Mulata in Centro, or a small restaurant on the beach at Laguito which I do not name it (because I like it keeps small and patronized only by locals: :P).[/QUOTE]I must add CUZCO, comida peruana.
Excellent ambience and food. Elegant. About what you cannot eat: the receptionist is a stunning girl with legs to die for (just her costenho accent is too heavy).
Also, I did not notice any evident gringo-puta couple holding hands romantically at the table (way too many in Vitrola, Quebracho or Juan del Mar). (I exclude myself, obviously)
Cuzco will be my first choice in these nights.
OK, after 6 days in CTG I am able to provide a market price update.
Prices are consistently lower than on my last time here some months ago. Buyers market: a good number of girls are still around, but almost no men with money in the wallet. I have seen some girls trying her luck even with loser backpackers in Cl. de la Media Luna, who barely offer a beer, imagine to pay for a girl.
LDV
Here it's a place of its own. Girls are not stunners, but they think they are the best in town. Lots of silicon. Standard fee is 300k for 1 hour (that is 1 shot), which in some cases can be bargained down to 200k (and the girl thinks she's doing a favor to you).
Never ask for TLN (500k-600k?) but in case offer some extra if she is keen to stay at your apt. and she's really nice with you.
Best hours is 11 pm-12:30 am.
My recommendation is to avoiod this place. LDV is for gringos who have USA prices in their mind and they think 500k is a bargain (it would be a gift, if they were still in Texas, but not in Colombia).
And 90% of patrons there are from USA indeed. Those who rent an apartment in Laguito, eat at Riquisimo, go to Playa Hollywood, and restrict their experience of life in CTG, day and night, to this 500 m radius without daring to extend their scope.
Much nicer girls can be found in Centro. Not to mention that the same LDV girls after 3am will be available at Space or Opera for less.
PLAZA DEL RELOY
Here best girls usually ask for 200k at first, which can be bargained down to 150k in many cases. Also several girls will ask for 150k or even 100k (no, not the 90%: it depends on their style and look. I usually ask only best looking ones). Just a warning: I know at least two of them who will try to steal something or make troubles. Exercise you max caution in keeping the 6th sense alerted and take only girls who you trust.
There is a group of 4-5 average-looking girls who look always depressed and not talkative at all, who sit on the benches outside going to Caponera or stay at Reloy. They are good girls indeed. They ask 100k.
I brought 4 of them to my apartment, offering 150k to one (she asked 100k originally) to sleep in my large bed with me and keeping all others to sleep on sofas in the main room. They enjoyed the air condition and the nice place (they usually sleep all together in a hot room of a sleazy hotel with not even a fan).
SPACE and OPERA
They took the heritage of the glorious ELEKTRA (everyone stand up and 1 minute silence to honour its memory).
These after-hour places collect all girls from other places and street, when the night is ending and they are still free (or have done 1 shot already but want another).
They begin to populate after 3am.
Opera is managed by the old hero Aldo and takes most girls out of LDV. It's always much less populated then Space.
Space can be really crowded at 4am. Prices vary a lot, depending on who are the girls. I've been asked 250k-150k. Warning: since this place is a collector of everyone from any place, you should be careful and try to understand if the girl is reliable or not. Many girls are too oriented to drug to suit my taste.
I found two jewels however: two friends from Medellin, who look average but gave me an outstanding GFE experience of friendship and even lesbo passion in my bed. 200k for the 2.
Christmas
Should I remind something obvious? All girls are leaving this weekend to go back home to spend Christmas with their families. Until the first days of January CTG will be super-packed with families, but not with girls, unless few ones really desperate or without some loving family to spend Christmas with (as you, if you really consider to come here for Christmas mongering)).
Yes 100% agree with Blackpages assessment and review of LDV. I was there 2 weeks ago and went every night 5 nights straight (didn't stay the whole time) but I was not impressed at all with the quality of girl at all in there. 3 months ago I went and found consistent 8-8.5's in there on a nightly basis. This time the girls were really average and yes they did think they were so fucking got because this time there were no stunners in there at all-all fucking week. Even on the weekends when I had always pulled 8-9's in the past. A funny story was that I actually earned a "reputation" with the girls that were in there as a "stuck up asshole" And I'm glad!. Here's how it happened. Went there 5 nights straight and spend 4 hours my first night and then 1-2 hours every other night. The majority of the time I just clowned around with the bar staff as I know most the guys there pretty well. I did speak to a few girls 7-7.5 (the best in the club) with total attitude that they were the hottest things! Finally one 7. 5 walked over and I became weak since I had seen nada. SO we chatted and I said "Lets hang out". She says 300 CP 1 hour. I say. "Look. Lets do 1. 5 hours because I hate the "1 hour limit" as if we start talking or have a drink etc what are you going to do walk out in mid fuck at 60 minutes? If your good I will give you extra 100 tip. 90% of the time the girls are cool and say ok. No problem. This girl was animate 300 CP 60 minutes. I say thanks but no thanks (nicely). I find that how those girls act and react in the price negotiation is a reflection of how they will be in the sack (into it or not) Of course the rest of the night as well as every other night I saw her I never see her with one guy. One thing I never realized is that every single one of those girls in there is watching who is doing what with who and who leaves with somebody etc. Everybody knows everybody business. Because on my 5th straight night I'm walking in the courtyard area and pass this group of girls 6-8 girls sitting on a bench as I'm walking in (There backs were to me as I walked behind them but they all saw me initially from the side). I said Hello Ladies. And proceeded rapidly inside there because it was humid as hell outside. I'm at the bar and low and behold in comes this 8. 5 who I actually hooked up with my last trip there. Super cool girl, awesome attitude and is actually well liked by all the girls that work there. We embrace and she starts going off on me about "ignoring her" when I walked by her outside in the group. I told her I didn't see her (I really didn't) and she proceeds to tell me how ALL the girls think I'm the biggest stuck up arrogant gringo asshole and think I'm god gift because I "turn away" every girl that approaches me. (Well of course I did- There was nothing good+ they were so cavalier in their attitudes as I would take home a 7. 5 with an off the chart personality) SHe then tells me that she told all of them that they are dead wrong about me and that I'm the biggest gentlemen and an absolute class act! And a Great FU#$ ! Take that! The icing on the cake was the PDA with the 8. 5 in front of all those stuck up posers. They watched as me and the hotty groveled and 20 minutes later we were out the door and waving adios to them Hee Hee Hee. You got to wonder after all that if they ever stop and think that maybe they are in fact not gods gift to men? I'm told by my bartender buddies that they are seeing a 3 month rotation of women in there. The average woman will do this 3 months and then quit (The LDV gig). Really its luck of the draw. But one thing was that you usually get the college girls from Barranquilla who "moonlight" on weekends but I just did not see that this time. Oh yeah I did happen to run into a super cute girl that was on the outside bench when I was leaving one night. Pure luck. In fact she commented how fucking lucky she was. When I asked her how much, I think one of 2 things happened. Either she recognized that I was a "discerning" gentlemen and was scared to go too high (She said 150) OR she really meant 150 USD which now that I think about it the look on her face when I payed her was not that "typical smile" of happiness when I handed her the 100 CP Bil and the 50 CP bill HA HA HA. Nonetheless she didn't say anything so who will ever know. ANd by the way when we talked about how long? 1 hour? She said. " Well. Whatever. An hour or hour and a half. One can never predict these things". I said to her. "You have an awesome attitude and obviously have a good business sense". She agreed.
The rest of my time was spent talking to touts and phone contacts I had made. Made the find of a lifetime (See previous post). This was the biggest stunner I have EVER seen in Brazil / Cartagena / Costa Rica. Outrageously hot. She showed up at my place and my jaw nearly hit the ground. . I was so fucking nervous it was ridiculous and I rarely get nervous anymore, PLUS the hugest thing was that her personality was off the charts. Amazing personality. She was dancing around and singing to me (phenomenal voice). I am sad to report that my performance on the first night was horrific. I almost could not get wood. I think the nerves did it because I never have that problem. And you know what she says to me. And is actually serious. "What. Am I not pretty enough for you"? I felt awful and reassured her this is on me. not you. I hopped off the bed and rummaged through my toiletry pack and find a Viagra 50. Pop it and go into the living room to regroup. I remember from my days when I would study PUA / Pick Up Artist Theory and one of the core truths is you can't treat a stunner any different than you treat a 7. In fact you have to be even more alpha and dominant as they are not use to that because guys bow to them. SO I walk back in that room and begin to change my night. Go right in for a make out and she's all over it (after all she thinks she's not pretty enough for me LOL). 30 minutes later old blue comes through and it was on. She was a FREAK in a good way. Super GFE. In fact the way she looked at me in missionary I swore I had found a long lost love. As I'm doing my best to redeem myself a thought pops into my mind. What an absolute tragedy this would be if after all this I don't get my rocks off (V has done that in the past) so I think I better not push my luck. Flip her over doggie. Oh BTW one of the best bodies I've ever been with in my life. She's a Flaca (probably 5'7 110-115) with a great rack and small booty. Flawless olive complexion. Bright white perfect teeth. Long semi curly hair 3/4 down her back. Really she did not have that classic dark featured look you see in some Colombians. In fact you could stick her in a bar in California and you would have no idea she was not from the USA until she opened her mouth. Anyways. I had digressed. Flipped over doggie to a perfect ass and finally emptied the wine cellar. Wow. I collapse and she proceeds to cover me up and stroke my hair and hold my hand as we talked. Finally she said she had to go. Get this. Paid for 1 hour. She stayed for 3! I sure as hell tipped her big time and said "I think I love you" LOL. 1 night later call her back and say want to hang out? She says Hell yeah. Comes over and its an even funner night since now I'm not nervous. Pay for 2 hours stayed for 4. And of course when it was all over the thought did cross my mind. "I think she's digging my scene" ha ha ha. that is the sign of a true pro GFE stunner. Actually I got lucky as I do believe her that she does not do this much and when she does super low profile as I'm sure this girl is in magazines and shows. She never said it. But I could tell she was trying to be modest. After this experience I did have 2 days left and I must say I had an extremely hard time not being even pickier than I was before. Found one girl at Reloj. But that scene is kind of strange to me. I think I need to be there with someone that knows what their doing. Because I'm so handsome (LOL-the experience got to my head) I was approached constantly by pretty mediocre talent. I finally sat down and waited for something good to pass. It was about 1 am. So I thought maybe I will get drunk. Go into Tu Candela upstairs and post up and start drinking whiskey. One hour later back outside. Finally this pretty cute girl next door passes and give me the eyeball. I wave her over. She had a super sweet looking face and actually had a really good energy. She wasn't anything special (as now I only fuck 10's ha ha ha) but I figured ID give her the opportunity of a lifetime for 250 cp. Well she didn't kiss very good so it was kind of awkward. Being buzzed and not too into it I thought I'm going to change this up. I reach into my suitcase and pull out one of those pocket rockets (those mini lipstick clit vibrators) and throw it to her. She's like what the fuck is this? I said are you shy? She says "no". I say "good have at it". That's when things really heated up. These girls can't afford things like this (I bought it $5 on eBay) . Well this thing was a massive hit! She went absolutely nuts with this thing and when she finally gets her rocks off she actually squirt! She was shocked and so embarrassed! I said. No no. Its normal don't worry (though ID never seen that). Actually it was kind of hot and got me going but unfortunately I was too drunk and probably still pining over my supermodel to continue. Gave her her cash and let her keep what she now calls "her new amigo". Lord knows it was my amigo too LOL. The next day I started thinking about it and thought I might be ready to start to try street approach. That hot from the other night gave me massive confidence. Started to walk the main drag at dusk the next day but didn't see anything exciting. I plan on living in Medellin over the summer so I think that city will be much more conducive to street approach. That about wraps up this field report. Hope some of you find some helpful information or even some inspiration to give CTG a try. I will still go there in the next 3 months to see what the new group at LDV looks like. I think this time was a fluke as I've had massive success in the past there. Will post on trip board once reservation is set!

Stopped in LDV the other night, didn't notice any other guys from the States, but did spot some obvious Europeans, as you can tell them from their whine! Buddy took a girl back and said he gave her 220 mil when she left the next morning. Talent level and number of women were down. Heard many of the girls running off pregnant with Italian guys to have their baby. Also much excitement about traveling to Europe without a visa. Hopefully that means less whining from our European amigos, LOL. Also, Aldo was restricted from LDV and only to be found at L'opera, when it's open, which has been spotty. Espace packed wall-to-wall, but as BP advised, there is a heavier influx of the drug influenced, so caveat emptor.
Mikey, Great report, very entertaining.
Europeans whining?
But there are so many types of Europeans. My nick refers much to Not feeling as an European (Northern). I "never" whine, but I can imagine Many Europeans do, mostly based on insecurity. Better to whine than go to attack yourself and meet stiff defense or rugged (surprise) defense. Americans doesn't care about such stuff, while an Italian loosing his face in front of his friends or competitors is a mayor disaster. That cultural trait was then exported to Buenos Aires.
Many reports on CGT lately has been about lack of talent. 6 months ago I was considering of changing to change my HQ in Colombia from MDE since 2009 to CGT since the famous clubs, and some clubs unknown to most of us, digged up Camaro (report March-April 2013), in barrios with lower socioeconomic status, but the same level of talent to maybe 50-60%/ hs price. We must dig up his reports and then attack!
Reports where like that LDV had 30 modelesque girls, when the reporter entered, and only like 5-7 guys! Like Paradise. And that many of those girls live in fancy apartments in the "torres" "towers" in Boca Grande.
Now report tells us about 7 as standard, "the lack of talent" etc. Depressing news.
Can it be due to season?
My internet-model-super-babe living in those Towers, had a very strong interest in meeting me, maybe becoming a couple; that always then she started 2 month-6 weeks before to paying the next University tuition for a semester or a full year. She studies Law at an expensive University so the tuition can be several million pesos / semester.
What stroke me was the rhythm, the are of course other patterns, like Christmas, Semana Santa, etc. And other that I don't know of yet, or the usual thing; they earn some millions easily but end up in debt after consuming luxury items on credit and being overly optimistic about how much money they can make, since whiny Europeans also have the pattern as clients.
My X-novia, which certainly was in love with me, also had this up-down-up impulses. Colombians lack a social filter, it's easy to make friends, and stay friends, but there are downsides to that cultural trait to! Being taken for Papa Noel (Santa Claus) is the most annoying.
Europeans being whiny! With an exchange rate of +3600 COP / 1€, it fells even more embarrassing.
What do you get in, a mayor city in France, GB or Italy for 200 mil COP, or even 400 mil COP. Not much, if anything at all!

There have been far too many epic nights to throw in the towel. But the over all vibe / talent level in LDV (my staple) from (3 weeks ago) from the time I went (3 months ago) was dramatic so why would that happen so fast? But this is the vacation time there were loads of tourists there so wouldn't that make it the best business opportunity for the ladies?. I arrived on a Monday 3 weeks ago so I wasn't surprised it was slow. Each night a little better but not much. I was so psyched up for Friday night as this is customarily there theme night but when Friday Midnight I walk in and it was shockingly quiet. I was crushed. I was going to ask Also the Jeffe what gives but he never showed up in there the entire week. He was there every night 3 months ago. I asked his crew where he was and they said "resting". He would be the guy to ask. Fortunately the chica gods were with me and I was in the right place at the right time on a few nights to not be disappointed with the scene at LDV. You know one place the people I would ask about where all the hotties are they would say ISIS? Anybody got any Intel about this place? I will be going again in March if anybody cares to try there luck. But this time I will be more prepared with a contingency plan in case LDV tanks. Funny your talking about leaving your HQ of MDE for CTG as I was debating spending the summer in CTG or MDE but leaning towards MDE. Are you thinking of changing for change of scenery or lack of quantity / quality of girls in MDE now?
Mikey, as mentioned in my preceding post, Aldo is restricted from LDV. How long that lasts? Only time will tell.

Hi guys!
I'm looking to spend a few days, maybe a week in Cartagena in February. Going to combine it with a trip to Medellin.
I vaguely recall seeing something with video of a spa-like establishment in Cartagena. Looked like a German FKK.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Also, it seems Cartagena is almost like Miami Beach with the beach strip of condos and then the back city.
Where is the main "South Beach"-type beach?
Your standing on it. Haha.

Then, you will discover whether in Cartagena there is a German-style FKK and a Miami-style beach. I won't spoil your surprise.

Sorry for not being more claro. In my post in the Medellin thread I did say that I RTFF but with so many (curmudgeonly) less than useful posts mixed in with actual reports, I became confused and my eyes began to bleed.
I have read the lists and examined the maps but I couldn't find any reference to a FKK-style place. Meaning a spa-like pool and bar where the girls are available on site. I do recall that I saw some TV news segment on how girls were being exploited in Cartagena (I think it was around the Secret Service scandal time) and I saw such a place in the segment.
As for Miami Beach. I meant to ask where the main, high traffic crowded beach area is located. I read about Tony et al but don't know what the hot areas are. I saw that Hollywood beach was mentioned but that it is a gay beach.
In any case, I hope that I have adequately genuflected to have you put down the shotgun and come down off the porch, shake my hand and show where the women be at! Specifically, is there a Casa with a pool that you can hang out around with the prepagos?
Muchos gracias!

The CTG thread is not so crowded of useless chit-chat as that of MDE. There's really a lot of information, not even so scattered. Scroll back and invest 2 hours of your time. What's more, I have a striking piece of information for you: there is also the RoD.
I advance you a bit of the surprises you'll get:
1) no FKK, never, nowhere, in no way;.
2) TV tells bullshit (surprised?) especially when it comes to make scandal noise and make noise about sex tourism; this is one further proof, if ever needed;.
3) you really have no clue of what is CTG;.
4) now let's play treasure hunt: RTFF and you'll find:
- where, what, who and when (nothing about "why", for that you have to ask yourself).
- prices.
- even a map (I warn you to NOT go around out of main places in Colombia unless you speak Spanish and you know what you are doing and what is South America, which is obviously not true in your case).

The MDE thread is notorious for little info and guys arguing back and forth and every time I visit that thread I regret it but I like to occasional contribute my two pesos there since I learned about the Mansion from ISG almost 8 years ago and want to give a little back but the fights there are endless just a week or two ago I even let a one trip wonder drag me into arguments. That all being said you can skim the MDE thread quickly and pick out the info you need.
As for CTG there is less skimming needed. Just in the last 35 days Mikeyshouse, Black page, others and Steve have all put reports up with info. Pay attention to what's said about LDV, the pleyclub and the action around the clock tower. Those will be your best bets. After you try all 3 out then you will find which one works best for you.
There is no pool with prepagos hanging out at. No FKK type places. Hollywood beach has families, hookers, fat chicas, gays, white guys, black guys. It is not a gay beach. I've never liked Tony's girls but some have had success.
Now go read some more and you will find info and then just come and jump in and make mistakes and learn from them for next time.
This was a great report. I haven't posted in awhile on this thread because I went to DR last two times. I travel about every 2 months. Just booked my trip back to CTG for end of February. Only thing that surprised me about your report was the hour to hour and a half time thing. I never heard of that in all my years going there. I usually tell them a couple hours and 9 out of 10 times they stick around 3-4 hours for same price partying and drinking. I noticed when they like you they love hanging out drinking etc. Regarddless glad to hear everything went well over all!!
[QUOTE=MikeysHouse;1816208]Yes 100% agree with Blackpages assessment and review of LDV. I was there 2 weeks ago and went every night 5 nights straight (didn't stay the whole time) but I was not impressed at all with the quality of girl at all in there. 3 months ago I went and found consistent 8-8.5's in there on a nightly basis. This time the girls were really average and yes they did think they were so fucking got because this time there were no stunners in there at all-all fucking week. Even on the weekends when I had always pulled 8-9's in the past. A funny story was that I actually earned a "reputation" with the girls that were in there as a "stuck up asshole" And I'm glad!. Here's how it happened. Went there 5 nights straight and spend 4 hours my first night and then 1-2 hours every other night. The majority of the time I just clowned around with the bar staff as I know most the guys there pretty well. I did speak to a few girls 7-7.5 (the best in the club) with total attitude that they were the hottest things! Finally one 7. 5 walked over and I became weak since I had seen nada. SO we chatted and I said "Lets hang out". She says 300 CP 1 hour. I say. "Look. Lets do 1. 5 hours because I hate the "1 hour limit" as if we start talking or have a drink etc what are you going to do walk out in mid fuck at 60 minutes? If your good I will give you extra 100 tip. 90% of the time the girls are cool and say ok. No problem. This girl was animate 300 CP 60 minutes. I say thanks but no thanks (nicely). I find that how those girls act and react in the price negotiation is a reflection of how they will be in the sack (into it or not) Of course the rest of the night as well as every other night I saw her I never see her with one guy. One thing I never realized is that every single one of those girls in there is watching who is doing what with who and who leaves with somebody etc. Everybody knows everybody business. Because on my 5th straight night I'm walking in the courtyard area and pass this group of girls 6-8 girls sitting on a bench as I'm walking in (There backs were to me as I walked behind them but they all saw me initially from the side). I said Hello Ladies. And proceeded rapidly inside there because it was humid as hell outside. I'm at the bar and low and behold in comes this 8. 5 who I actually hooked up with my last trip there. Super cool girl, awesome attitude and is actually well liked by all the girls that work there. We embrace and she starts going off on me about "ignoring her" when I walked by her outside in the group. I told her I didn't see her (I really didn't) and she proceeds to tell me how ALL the girls think I'm the biggest stuck up arrogant gringo asshole and think I'm god gift because I "turn away" every girl that approaches me. (Well of course I did- There was nothing good+ they were so cavalier in their attitudes as I would take home a 7. 5 with an off the chart personality) SHe then tells me that she told all of them that they are dead wrong about me and that I'm the biggest gentlemen and an absolute class act! And a Great FU#$ ! Take that! The icing on the cake was the PDA with the 8. 5 in front of all those stuck up posers. They watched as me and the hotty groveled and 20 minutes later we were out the door and waving adios to them Hee Hee Hee. You got to wonder after all that if they ever stop and think that maybe they are in fact not gods gift to men? I'm told by my bartender buddies that they are seeing a 3 month rotation of women in there. The average woman will do this 3 months and then quit (The LDV gig). Really its luck of the draw. But one thing was that you usually get the college girls from Barranquilla who "moonlight" on weekends but I just did not see that this time. Oh yeah I did happen to run into a super cute girl that was on the outside bench when I was leaving one night. Pure luck. In fact she commented how fucking lucky she was. When I asked her how much, I think one of 2 things happened. Either she recognized that I was a "discerning" gentlemen and was scared to go too high (She said 150) OR she really meant 150 USD which now that I think about it the look on her face when I payed her was not that "typical smile" of happiness when I handed her the 100 CP Bil and the 50 CP bill HA HA HA. Nonetheless she didn't say anything so who will ever know. ANd by the way when we talked about how long? 1 hour? She said. " Well. Whatever. An hour or hour and a half. One can never predict these things". I said to her. "You have an awesome attitude and obviously have a good business sense". She agreed.
The rest of my time was spent talking to touts and phone contacts I had made. Made the find of a lifetime (See previous post). This was the biggest stunner I have EVER seen in Brazil / Cartagena / Costa Rica. Outrageously hot. She showed up at my place and my jaw nearly hit the ground. . I was so fucking nervous it was ridiculous and I rarely get nervous anymore, PLUS the hugest thing was that her personality was off the charts. Amazing personality. She was dancing around and singing to me (phenomenal voice). I am sad to report that my performance on the first night was horrific. I almost could not get wood. I think the nerves did it because I never have that problem. And you know what she says to me. And is actually serious. "What. Am I not pretty enough for you"? I felt awful and reassured her this is on me. not you. I hopped off the bed and rummaged through my toiletry pack and find a Viagra 50. Pop it and go into the living room to regroup. I remember from my days when I would study PUA / Pick Up Artist Theory and one of the core truths is you can't treat a stunner any different than you treat a 7. In fact you have to be even more alpha and dominant as they are not use to that because guys bow to them. SO I walk back in that room and begin to change my night. Go right in for a make out and she's all over it (after all she thinks she's not pretty enough for me LOL). 30 minutes later old blue comes through and it was on. She was a FREAK in a good way. Super GFE. In fact the way she looked at me in missionary I swore I had found a long lost love. As I'm doing my best to redeem myself a thought pops into my mind. What an absolute tragedy this would be if after all this I don't get my rocks off (V has done that in the past) so I think I better not push my luck. Flip her over doggie. Oh BTW one of the best bodies I've ever been with in my life. She's a Flaca (probably 5'7 110-115) with a great rack and small booty. Flawless olive complexion. Bright white perfect teeth. Long semi curly hair 3/4 down her back. Really she did not have that classic dark featured look you see in some Colombians. In fact you could stick her in a bar in California and you would have no idea she was not from the USA until she opened her mouth. Anyways. I had digressed. Flipped over doggie to a perfect ass and finally emptied the wine cellar. Wow. I collapse and she proceeds to cover me up and stroke my hair and hold my hand as we talked. Finally she said she had to go. Get this. Paid for 1 hour. She stayed for 3! I sure as hell tipped her big time and said "I think I love you" LOL. 1 night later call her back and say want to hang out? She says Hell yeah. Comes over and its an even funner night since now I'm not nervous. Pay for 2 hours stayed for 4. And of course when it was all over the thought did cross my mind. "I think she's digging my scene" ha ha ha. that is the sign of a true pro GFE stunner. Actually I got lucky as I do believe her that she does not do this much and when she does super low profile as I'm sure this girl is in magazines and shows. She never said it. But I could tell she was trying to be modest. After this experience I did have 2 days left and I must say I had an extremely hard time not being even pickier than I was before. Found one girl at Reloj. But that scene is kind of strange to me. I think I need to be there with someone that knows what their doing. Because I'm so handsome (LOL-the experience got to my head) I was approached constantly by pretty mediocre talent. I finally sat down and waited for something good to pass. It was about 1 am. So I thought maybe I will get drunk. Go into Tu Candela upstairs and post up and start drinking whiskey. One hour later back outside. Finally this pretty cute girl next door passes and give me the eyeball. I wave her over. She had a super sweet looking face and actually had a really good energy. She wasn't anything special (as now I only fuck 10's ha ha ha) but I figured ID give her the opportunity of a lifetime for 250 cp. Well she didn't kiss very good so it was kind of awkward. Being buzzed and not too into it I thought I'm going to change this up. I reach into my suitcase and pull out one of those pocket rockets (those mini lipstick clit vibrators) and throw it to her. She's like what the fuck is this? I said are you shy? She says "no". I say "good have at it". That's when things really heated up. These girls can't afford things like this (I bought it $5 on eBay) . Well this thing was a massive hit! She went absolutely nuts with this thing and when she finally gets her rocks off she actually squirt! She was shocked and so embarrassed! I said. No no. Its normal don't worry (though ID never seen that). Actually it was kind of hot and got me going but unfortunately I was too drunk and probably still pining over my supermodel to continue. Gave her her cash and let her keep what she now calls "her new amigo". Lord knows it was my amigo too LOL. The next day I started thinking about it and thought I might be ready to start to try street approach. That hot from the other night gave me massive confidence. Started to walk the main drag at dusk the next day but didn't see anything exciting. I plan on living in Medellin over the summer so I think that city will be much more conducive to street approach. That about wraps up this field report. Hope some of you find some helpful information or even some inspiration to give CTG a try. I will still go there in the next 3 months to see what the new group at LDV looks like. I think this time was a fluke as I've had massive success in the past there. Will post on trip board once reservation is set!

I did actually RTFF before I *posted my two questions and found a lot of information. But I didn't see anything about the (1) FKK-style place I saw on TV and (2) wasn't sure which was the popular beach area.
I googled around and found the link to the news report I recalled seeing the place with the pool. (Google ABC News cartagena prostitution to find it).
However, my recollection didn't include the sordid aspect of the focus of the report. So it would not be a place I'd want to go anywhere near for obvious reasons.
Thanks again for the info and thanks especially to the guys who sent me PM's with a welcome to CTG and offers of great information!

My report from the last two nights in Cartagena, both nights going to LDV at around 12:30 am. Context: I barely speak Spanish and am pretty new to this.
Both nights there were only about 10-15 girls in the club. The first night, I was pretty shy but finally got the courage to approach a girl from Barranquilla. Huge boobs / ass and cute face but kind of bad skin (which I realized after I left the dim light of the club), mixed race. 300 k for an hour, plus a 80 k peso for my drink and her 3 tiny pours of tequila. Also a ridiculous 4 block cab ride was 8 k. I was basically being scammed for being a huge mark, but I'm a newbie and my Spanish is bad, so I don't care that much. The sex was amazing and she was really, really sexy and cheerful. Told me to come back tomorrow and see her again, and I wish I had as you'll see below.
The next night I come back and it's again fairly dead. Here is where the experience gets so bizarre that I have to laugh at my naivete. I approach a petite girl with a beautiful face who immediately tells me that she's not like the other girls, she doesn't come here often -- she's not a working girl and doesn't have tattoos -- and that she would take my money but it would be a gift so that she can continue her university studies. Calls herself Carolina, then Lorena, and later puts Patricia in my phone. She's a total fucking nut case.
Here is where you'll roll your eyes: I thought, this girl is really hot and I'd like to have two shots on her. So I ask her if she'll take 400 k to stay until the morning, an offer which she's very happy with. So dumb. 3 margaritas later, some confusing required "tip" (which I didn't pay last time), and another ridiculous 4 block cab ride home, and we're at my apartment. Another 10 minutes of her stupid story about how she's not a prostitute, and I finally get her naked. About 10 minutes in the middle of sex, she gets up and runs to the bathroom, pulls the condom off and tells me to fuck her raw. I said "no, I don't want a child" in bad Spanish. We finish doggy style.
Then things get a little weird. First, she says my room is a mess because I have an open suitcase and starts to want to fold my clothes. When I tell her to stop and just to relax, she starts crying and I have to console her. Then I tell her I'm tired and want to sleep, so we cuddle. Ten minutes later she says that she has to call her mom who is sick in the hospital, and I'm immediately aware I'm getting scammed. Hilariously, even though it's clear that no one picks up when she calls "Mama" on her phone, she continues to have a fake conversation about being at a party with her friends. Rather than fight her, I just want her to go, and I'm getting slightly paranoid that she'll come back with some dude and rob me (probably wouldn't happen since there's a doorman in the building).
So yeah, to all you newbies, never do a TLN with a girl you don't really know. Total damage was like $160 USD, and at least the story was kind of funny.
I might go to Pleyclub tonight.

What girls would you expect to meet there on Christmas, the holiest night in a ultra-catholic country as Colombia?
Second comment is that for someone who depicts himself as "barely speak Spanish and am pretty new to this", things went pretty well. I don't see the scam.
This girl was probably high due to some drug, but certainly could not rob you. I've never seen a thief attempting to fold clothes and reorder a messy room.
Once again, my advice is never negotiate for TDL, but rather offer the minimum and then some additional tip for extra-performance of for staying longer, once you know how things are going.
Agree with Black Page. It's a very basic rule of mongering to never negotiate for TLN with a girl you haven't already test-driven.
[I]I really wish I'd finished writing this when I said I would -- the first two days are written a couple of days after the fact; everything else I'll be posting (including the subsequent posts in the Cali and Medellin sections) is stuff I'm just getting around to writing now. I'm not sure how useful this will be for people, but I did get a lot of info off these boards, so I wanted to at least try giving something back. I ultimately found I enjoy Cali and Medellin about equally albeit for different reasons, with Cartagena in third -- I'll be visiting Medellin again in a little under two weeks, so I wanted to try to get this whole report posted before I go on that trip and start getting shit all mixed up. If there's any questions, feel free to PM me![/I]
[B]Day 1 - Cartagena[/B]
As many warned me, Cartagena was a place I wouldn't not regret visiting, but do not plan of revisiting in the near future. It is partially my fault; I decided to pay the prepago roulette rather than waste my time in Cartagena strip clubs knowing that the price would go down and the quality up in the next two cities of my trip -- this ultimately led to a low success rate of the picture matching the girl.
My trip started with an inauspicious moment as I walked towards the security checkpoint in JFK; my wingman was nowhere to be found, and was not checked in when I'd gone to board the plane. When I landed in Cartagena and grabbed and airport taxi to the Mirador, I finally heard from him -- he had to go (literally) bail a friend out in the middle of the night and left in enough of a rush that he'd left his phone at home. After convincing him not to just give up on the trip (he'd already prepaid for a lot of things and I trusted that he'd cover any extra expenses incurred due to his absence, but it's the principle of the matter), we booked him on the earliest flight the next day for $500 (Avianca wanted upwards of $1000 to change his ticket, which is a recurring theme with them -- no more of my money will head their way if I can help it), and I finally got to the task of unpacking and showering at 7 at night.
The penthouse I rented from Juan Aventura suited my needs; for $170/ nt, we had panoramic views of the ocean, dual kitchens and living rooms, and a hot tub (which didn't heat up but did have jets). I'd generally agree with the overall assessment of Juan's higher-end rentals; while they are most certainly comfortable and definitely in key locations with lux building and floorplan setups, the amenities could use with a touch of updating if they're to be in continued use, even in the next 1-2 years. Having said that, we were steps away from coastline, and a pleasant stroll from the shops and restaurants on the upper end of Bocagrande. The cab ride only took about 15 minutes (by far the shortest of the three cities), and there were pharmacies and liquor stores within a 2-3 minute walk. Of the three days I was there, I predominantly used Uber, but there was only one instance to memory that a taxi wasn't available within 30 seconds of being outside.
Properly settled away (and fed after a tasty churrasco from Riquisimo BBQ down the road from the Mirador), I spun the wheel on the photoprepagos roulette and picked up Martina (not sure if it's cool or not to post links, so I'll just say that her tagline is "bella paisa de visita en cartagena modelo scort hermosa" and that she's priced at 140 k), who was downstairs promptly. I signed her in, took her up, let her be moderately impressed by the view (I wouldn't be shocked if she'd been there before), and got her undressed. Of course, I didn't think to check her front picture for signs of photoshopping, and she had a rather obvious see-section scar. Now while see-scars aren't a dealbreaker for me, I make a relatively focused effort to not pay to fuck girls with them, so the fact that this happened to me more than once on this trip was a bummer. Her ass, while nice and round, definitely had it's fair share of stretch marks, and I was now pretty cognizant of what I thought was what would happen if I paid 140 k in Cartagena. The fucking however, was outstanding (another common denominator on this trip), and she was more than happy to switch positions of her own accord and throw her ass back at me with some real lust behind it. I got a good shot in after a bit, and politely declined her offer for another go. I showered up after her, and slid her 10 k for the taxi before seeing her to the elevator. Afterwards I went back inside and browsed Lindisimas, didn't get a call back, hit my vape pen a few times, and crashed watching Hulu on my computer.
[B]Day 2[/B]
Woke up early and went walking around the area. I'd been to the casino early in the day yesterday and went back to see if I'd come out ahead. Though only by about $20, I triumphantly strolled out of the Casino and caught a cab to take me to a bigger mall in the area, only making a stop along the way to get a Claro SIM; on the way out of the Casino, I tried using my card to find out that it doesn't work in CTG. Agitated, I find that my bank has decided Colombia's designation as a "risky" country by OPEC was enough to keep them from processing any transactions in Colombia; strange considering I mentioned Colombia being in my travel plans in our previous chat. After a bit of hassle, I ended up WUing myself the money, then getting a bite to eat at the Dogger next to Giros why Financias. It's definitely no joke that in terms of non-pro eye candy, Carta takes the cake (IMHO) -- Medellin has no shortage of beautiful women, but being in Laguito reminded me of being in a somewhat less sophsiticated South Beach (though not by much).
My wingman makes it in and is immediately trying to make up for lost time (as soon as he finishes gawking and telling me that I never let him down on the view or location); we hop on the photoprepagos website, and find him something he's into (wish I finished this sooner; I forget the name / type of chica he picked out). The penthouse basically functions as two separate one-bedrooms if you shut everything properly, so I head upstairs after we have a few cigs and hits of the pen to see if there's anything I like. Weary of stories of Bocagrande touts, I deferred to an online service I'd heard about in passing called Lindisimas. Indeed the pictures for Paula looked on-point, so I called up and had them bring her through. Unfotunately, the pictures had to be several years old, as she looked like a noticably aged version of what was going to show up. Normally I hold protest over this sort of thing, but between picking up my wing and all the hassle with the bank and WU fucking up my afternoon mongering plans, I was quite ready to get one off, and she did at least have a half-decent set of tits. A good hour of fucking and a few showers later, I sent her off with 200 and a 20 k tip despite the bait and switch, as I was still using the DR's metrics of effort and GFE, and was surprised that she was such a spirited lay.
I come out and my wing is with his girl still, so I slid over to Mall Plaza El Castillo to get some things for the place, resolving to take my wing to the colmado for the basics later. After marvelling at the cheapness of everything against the backdrop of the American dollar, and the hotness of the girls in the area, I headed back to the Mirador. Me and the wing walked around for a while, then swung by a liquor store to get some aguardiente, rum, water, gatorade, cups, shot glasses etc. Pleasantly surprised to find my only bringing my 1-2 leftover pills from AC with me was a good strategy, as even name-brand blue pills were a little under 19 k COP for a two-pack -- unheard of for me. We considered hitting LDV since it was nearby, but we were both pretty drained from the events of the day, so I took him down to the same place I'd eaten yesterday and had another great meal (my wing freaked when he realized he hadn't even spent a ten spot). My wing caught a second wind and wanted another girl, but I was knocking out; after 10-20 minutes of no success calling a few girls, I gave him my phone and laptop and wished him best of luck, and knocked out not much longer after the fact.
[B]Day 3[/B]
Knowing this was our last full day in CTG, my wing was up early. Used to the way Sosua operates, he got up early to see if he could catch a girl coming out of someone else's place. Apparently after he walked a bit, he ended up taking a cab and befriending a cab driver in the process. My wing is a light-skinned mixed dude from Brooklyn who could / does pass for Latino; the dude buddies up to him real quick, sells him some party favors (apparently the best / purest he's ever seen in his life at discount prices), and gives him his number so we can hit him up for some girls later. When I wake up, my wing is already beaming like the sun; apparently not long after coming back from his trip with the cab driver, he did stumble into a cutie that was walking from the Hilton and added another to his body count. After we get some food, we decide to give the cab driver a call. An hour or so later the dude shows up with two alright-looking 20 why / os in the backseat. He's trying to tell us that 250 k flat for each is a great deal, and goes on about how these are just some nice girls from his barrio trying to make some money and blah blah bullshit. The girls look good enough, and I've long since consigned myself to the fact that hotter girls await in Cali and Medellin, so we take them upstairs. Both definitely don't have the cool edge of the prepagos we'd seen thus far; they were legitimately surprised and excited by how high up we were and how much stuff we had, and more or less seemed like regular 20 why / os. My wing wanted the brunette and I was obliged to give her to him, but for some reason he took the other girl to check out a different part of the PH, and by the time he finished doing that it was much too late. This girl was pretty fucking tight; we had to stop a few times at the beginning so she could readjust, but once she got her groove, it was a quality fuck. She didn't have as much T and A as I typicaly prefer on a thicker girl, but she rode me like a champ, and never complained about the tight fit.
The girls hung for another 15-20 as we waited for the cab driver to come back. Manny gave his girl a shirt, and I gave my girl an extra 30 (I wasn't convinced they'd be seeing more than 50% of that money if that). At this point, I was pretty tired of paying the prices I was shelling out for the quality of girl I was getting, service notwithstanding. The wing convinces me to go out and walk to the beach with him, which evolves into us taking a taxi back to the casino in the Intercontinental Hotel. After some gambling, we walk back and see a tall, busty chocolate chica and her shorter, slimmer friend with some perky tits. My wing prefers darker-skinned girls, so I tell him we should go over and at least see what's up. I grab the number of the one my wing doesn't want (turns out she's in MDE, and I'm so set on wrapping up CTG that I tell her I'll call her when I'm in Medellin, since she's supposed to be there at the same time), wait for my wing to negotiate the other one meeting him, and we head up. Unfamiliar with the concept of Colombian time, my roommate frets as the 30 minutes she promised turns into 90. As we give up on her showing up and both decide to hit the convenience store so he can grab mixers and I can get some water, we reach the lobby and who is standing there except the girl my wing picked out, cleaned up and looking six different types of sexy. I give him a headstart to banging his girl by volunteering to get his mixers and leaving them on the couch in his living room. After returning, I check Tinder to see if anything worth responding to hit me back, then knock out.
[B]Early Day 4[/B]
We grab breakfast from Riquisimo and begin packing. After dumping any items or substances that won't pass a security check, we head out for Cali. The ride to the airport is again short, and the weather out is nice. As we pass by the walls of the old city again, I find myself kinda bummed that I didn't take more of my time to check out what is surely a beautiful South American city; it'll be a while before I make my way back up to Cartagena on a short trip, but I do plan on seeing it a bit more thoroughly at some point in the future.
A very [I]advantageous[/I] post! Muchos Gracias amigo! I look forward to hearing of your Medellin experience.
Is called "El Paraiso de LOS Marineros"- any cab driver can take you there.
[QUOTE=RubMeister100;1818465]Thanks for the info Soldier!
I did actually RTFF before I *posted my two questions and found a lot of information. But I didn't see anything about the (1) FKK-style place I saw on TV and (2) wasn't sure which was the popular beach area.
I googled around and found the link to the news report I recalled seeing the place with the pool. (Google ABC News cartagena prostitution to find it).
However, my recollection didn't include the sordid aspect of the focus of the report. So it would not be a place I'd want to go anywhere near for obvious reasons.
Thanks again for the info and thanks especially to the guys who sent me PM's with a welcome to CTG and offers of great information!
*Just for reference, here is my original post:[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Lmarcone;1822927]Is called "El Paraiso de LOS Marineros"- any cab driver can take you there.[/QUOTE]?
The name is "PARAISO DEL MARINO"!
I have read it's expensive for what offers, like Rocio.
1) Not really a German-style FKK.
2) Guess what? All details and location are reported in this thread, in the "Cartagena List" and also on the Google Map. Enjoy.

Dude,
You jumped here aggressively, asking silly questions is ok, not reading the List first is ok, but also trolling others to make troubles is not welcome.

Did you read what you posted? The card you linked above features exactly the name I wrote: "PARAISO DEL MARINO". ROFL. You don't RTFF, ok, but read at least what you post and what you reply to.
Maybe this is just trolling... Or a joke?
LMarcone, who is far more educated, just made the mistake to write [i]"Paraiso de LOS Marineros"[/i]. I corrected him to the benefit of those who do not browse the "Cartagena List" thread and are not familiar with CTG.
Now, don't download the Cartagena Map posted here and feel free to ask the taxi driver to take you to the [i]Paraiso de LOS Marineros[/i], if you like. I wonder to what kind of place he will take you. Have fun.
[QUOTE=RubMeister100;1823200]
You "read" but have not been there?[/QUOTE]
Yes, I RTFF, I always RTFF, I read the work of people who spent a lot of time to compile the List and write informative reports. It's notoriously an expensive club. Make a search for "Marino" and you find some reports also in the main thread.
After 8 years I go to CTG, I went to explore almost all possible places where to find girls there, including clubs, beaches, plazas, even casas far from the Centro. Yes, I never went to el Paraiso, but l read the List thread when I need to learn something. Try once.
How old are you? 12? Stop being so sensitive and grow up. How many of your recent posts are simply trying to point out what is a helpful post, what is not a helpful post, how people should be nice over the internet, and how we should behave towards other members? From what I can tell, a majority. There are thousands of posts here, much of it is back and forth conversation, much of it is useful information, and much of it is useless information as well. You know why should RTFF and why others say to RTFF? Because we want to try and prevent information from constantly being repeated and because many long-time members spent the time to give that information which is very useful. There are trip reports, advice, maps, listings, everything here. When a person keeps asking the same question, one which has been answered many many times, it does not help at all and the only thing it does is make you seem lazy for not even trying to look for that information. You know what else doesn't help? Constantly trying to be a mother and tell contributors how they should behave and to be nice to others. Thanks, it's a forum where all sorts of things get said. We're not here to be nice or not nice. If you are so offended by words on a forum, my advice to you is to stay at home wherever you are. The real world is a lot rougher if you can't handle a forum telling you to stop being lazy, stop being a girl, and to RTFF.

Why would anyone listen to a schmuck who suggested using 'self-defense' in Meddy thread?
Thank you BP.
I also have not personally visited either; I have also read a review on Adultsearch as well. It's supposedly open 24/7.
And BTW, I kinda like Casa Rocio. Yes, 150 k is WAY more than Medellin for example- but you are paying for the convenience I guess.

[/QUOTE]Yep, the convenience, but maybe for 30 minutes? Strictly enforced? I also feel that 150 k is old, years ago.
The Club Europa in Getsemani charges 250 k! That's why it is always empty.
The 4 girls who slept in my apartment in December (see my report [url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?582-Cartagena-Reports&p=1815564&viewfull=1#post1815564[/url]) were average-looking next-door type. They have been working at Europa for a 2-3 months before, then they left it because it was not worth for them.
They told me that price, but I never checked. When I met them, they were asking only 100k for ST at Reloy and outside the wall. A good encounter. After the first night when 4 slept in my apartment, 1 in my bed and the others on sofas in the living room, 2 came back again (but that time we had a 3some).

[QUOTE=Ricker;1823510]Yikes! That's not good, LOL.
[/QUOTE]No, somebody really put some money into that place. Hit and miss with chicas. Lot of the girls used to go to Hollywood beach for daytime action. Chicas were 150,000 for short time in one of the rooms (nice rooms). That was about 1 1/2 years ago. It is the farthest out from Centro. Have a pool, disco and rooms on site.
I recently found out about this forum in December and I am quite glad I did. I had already planned my trip to Cartagena so naturally I started checking out all of the threads from Colombia. A couple of the posts did have me concerned one talked about black guys being discriminated against (that one was not true at least in my case) and I'm a guy that's 6'2 260 with dreadlocks. The other thing that had me concerned after reading a few posts is that I wasn't very fluent in Spanish but through experience in the Dominican Republic where I've had multiple encounters with women who didn't speak English I knew that seemed a bit far fetched as well. So I got to the hotel around 3:30 pm had a beer with some locals then I went to the clock tower which was a 3 minute walk from my hotel and surveyed the scene. After a nap and a shower I waited until it got dark and walked back down. The place was quite lively so I walked around for a while just observing. As I was making my second pass through, I caught eyes with a very cute girl who was sitting with a friend but I kept walking. Now I don't know what it is probably the dreads but as I'm walking a guy stops me and asks me if I want some weed. This seems to happen in every foreign country I visit anyway I tell him I don't smoke but would like the company of a lady. Immediately he takes me over the girl I locked eyes with and her friend. Before the one I locked eyes with could say anything her friend who was just as cute came forward. She quickly made an offer of 500,000 pesos which I quickly said no too. She then said 300,000 again I said no. I must say she was a SYT and I was feeling generous so I said I'll give you 200,000 I'm sure I could've went lower but I am a monger with a heart and this girl did seem very nice. After she agreed we headed to my room. I paid the chica fee and up we went. After a little LK she took her clothes off, and when I saw that beautiful naked body my heart started racing, she had B cup breast, her skin was silky smooth, she was completely shaven, and she had some very soft feet and pretty toes. Once we got on the bed and she started giving me a covered BJ which was quite good in fact it was better than a BBBJ I got from a girl in the DR a year ago. After the BJ this girl jumped on top of me and started riding me like a bucking bronco. I'm sure not many people would expect this from such an innocent looking girl but boy could she ride. That went on for a little while before I pulled her off put her on her back and gave her a good pounding from the side. I loved looking at those pretty toes flailing in the air while I continued pounding. Instead of finishing inside of her, I had her finish me off with those sweet hands and it was a great pop. We laid there for a few minutes before she jumped that tight little body up and went to the shower. I quickly followed and just watched her. This was definitely an experience to remember.
On day 2 I did some sight seeing and had opportunities but decided to chill.
On day 3 my last night there, after a nice meal, I took a walk back to the clock tower because I wanted to make it another night to remember. As I was walking I saw someone waving at me and it was my friend from two nights earlier. I waved back and motioned that I was walking toward where the horse carriages were and I'd be right back. I walked around for a few minutes then went over and sat next to her and her friend. Unless she's a great actor she seemed to be genuinely happy to see me. I immediately told her I wanted round two. Of course my Spanish is limited and her English is limited but we figured it out. I told her I could pay her 150,000 this time and she said yes. This is what was real cool about her, she got on Google translate and typed that she knew of a cheaper hotel than the chica fee I paid. She wasn't lying it was only 16000 and very clean. I was so touched that I gave her a tip. Once we got inside the room it was like we had been dating for a while because we started kissing and tearing each others clothes off. Once again she gave a very good cowgirl before I got on top for Mish. This time she seemed even tighter than before because I didn't stop until I popped inside of her. It was a true GFE. Later that evening after we had went our separate ways, I got the munchies and headed back to the clock tower to get a bite as I'm walking I notice through my peripheral someone staring at me and it's the friend then I see my girl waving and smiling at me. They had moved to another spot. As I walked past a thought came to mind I probably could have done an FFM with them. Oh well maybe next time because I will definitely make that trip again and if not with them another two. As I was heading to the airport on the next day a thought crossed my mind I have friends who have never left the country. If they were to have seen some of the beautiful women I've seen in Costa Rica, The Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Colombia some of them would probably get on their knees and propose marriage. Not me though I'm thinking Curacao next this forum speaks highly of Campo. Any thoughts?
Happy mongering!
[QUOTE=Advantageous;1821707][I]I really wish I'd finished writing this when I said I would -- the first two days are written a couple of days after the fact; everything else I'll be posting (including the subsequent posts in the Cali and Medellin sections) is stuff I'm just getting around to writing now. I'm not sure how useful this will be for people, but I did get a lot of info off these boards, so I wanted to at least try giving something back. I ultimately found I enjoy Cali and Medellin about equally albeit for different reasons, with Cartagena in third -- I'll be visiting Medellin again in a little under two weeks, so I wanted to try to get this whole report posted before I go on that trip and start getting shit all mixed up.

I sent you a PM to apologize that I had not returned your PM from back in October. But I have not been on the forum since then because I had not been traveling any. I noticed that you never made it to la Dolce Vita and you never made it to the beach and you never made it to Crepes & Waffles, you never made it to the Old City where some of the finest prepagos hang at the Cafe del Mar to see the sun set and flirt with touristy potential clients. So now I am really really sorry that I did not see your PM back in those days.

This is second hand info, but I met a Canadian guy a few years ago who spent his summers in Cartagena, he stayed at Hotel San Felipe for the whole summer, he said it was reasonably priced, clean, chica friendly etc, his only complaint was that the WiFi wasn't great in the rooms so he would always ask for a room close to the front desk and that gave him adequate WiFi.

It's not a bad hotel could use a few touch ups breakfast was okay. I'm not a picky eater like many Americans. I did love the Pollo tropicana restaurant across the street. I had to pay a Chica fee but that wasn't a big problem. WiFi worked very well but I was close to the front. Good price and like I said in my report was a three minute walk from the clock tower where all the Chicas congregate.
Guys,
First things first, I rented an apartment from Juan with no issues, very good service, no hiding fee and everything we expected. Moving on to the girls, Yes we all know about playhouse and other places in "el centro" but honestly the best place to get the girl is from the clubs, (ex: Fragma, bar tu Candela, Mister Babilla,) Fragma was the best 2 nights we could have, lady's from 200 k to 600 k pesos all night, both nights I pulled a girl for 200-280 k all night (1 am to 9 am), now be careful, they all will start you at 600 k all night as they know most tourist go there.
I still think, the scene is way too hype up in Cartagena, prices are wild and getting worse as time go by.

Nice to see some new out of CTG. I wanted to ask how you found the quality to be? Recent reports (including mine) found it harder to find those 8's and 9's like it was in prior months. Don't mind paying more as long as the quality is there. Tell me the atmosphere at Fragma. Is it mixed with semi-pros and regular girls or? Also what time did things start to get going in Fragma?
Appreciate the help as I'm planning for a Colombia trip and CTG will be one of the destinations.

Hi friends, I will go to Catagena in two weeks from now and I will be staying at the Movich hotel. Can someone confirms it is girl friendly?
I've just come out of Rosario house after a wonderful afternoon session with a cool, slim, natural blonde (24) from Bucaramanga. GFE, shower and massage. The place is a bar with tables, open day and night. You sit down and wave a girl over to you. No pressure. Every girl has her own room out the back. The place is frequented by ship crews and cruise tourists. Locals don't go there (I wonder where they go). The girls ask for 75 usd or 200 k for 1 h but can go down to 170 k which is 70 k for the house and 100 k for the girl. Given the quality of the experience (better than 30 min for 50 k in a casa in Barranquilla) it seems fair value.
The location on the Hillbilly69 map is off by 5 blocks. Its on Transversal 42 #24-34. No sign apart from the #, just walk in and you see girls.
Last night I went to the clock tower square after 2 am, but at that time of night I don't have enough energy to connect with a girl. Around 4 am they all left the square to go to Space disco. I almost went with one girl for 100 k and 16 k room but she walked off when the tout who was following me asked her for 10 k commission.

Last week visited Cartagena.
All the taxi driver try to bring you to pleyclub.
One evening I thought I give it a try.
Had my taxi driver wait for me. "Ida y vuelta" 30 K (Laguito. Club - Laguito).
He wanted more at the end but I told him deal is deal.
Went there around 21:00, probably too early.
I was the only client, but I was really surprised.
Around 30 very good looking girls, beer 15 K, girls 260 K, clean rooms, what else do you want?
I go back.
I really start to wonder about the Obama body guards.

.[/QUOTE]I am going to try to go in and fix the location on Rosario House but I have never been there, I have though found what I think is the location by searching google street maps, can you tell me if it is a tan and red colored building and a brick pattern doorway on the porch?
Yes, you have the right place.
It's only a couple of blocks from Angeles, which on the map is off by one block. Angeles is on Avenida Crisanto Luque (Diagonal 22) near Transversal 40 next to Mega Motos. Angeles is similar but more geared up to partying at night, even though they are open daytime. They get busy when a cruise ship is in town and the taxis bring them customers.
BTW, for cheapskates like me who like to go native: it's 5 k by mototaxi from centro. And with traffic that's also the fastest way to go.
[QUOTE=MojoBandit;1842791]I am going to try to go in and fix the location on Rosario House but I have never been there, I have though found what I think is the location by searching google street maps, can you tell me if it is a tan and red colored building and a brick pattern doorway on the porch?[/QUOTE]

Ok picked up Sandra from ldv. It was quiet but girls were nice 7-10. She was GFE a great time really fantastic. Started at 400,00 gave her 300,00 for 2 hours. Cool as hell! It's now 3 am.

Now get on the transport Marisol and visit me in Santa Marta, as there is so much more to do here during the day than in Cartagena, and everything is half the cost of things in Cartagena. Parque Tayrona is one of the nicest areas in all of Colombia. I absolutely love living here.
While you are in Cartagena I highly suggest you to find a girl you have good chemistry with and take her to Mr. Babillas. You will really enjoy the energy and atmosphere of the place. I tried to get you to come along with me and my date when I saw you in Cartagena but you always get inebriated during the day to the point you pass out, so then you cannot get back up until 12 or 1 am in the morning, missing out on all the good nightlife that Cartagena offers.
Another place you would enjoy is Cafe Havana which is not to far from Mr. Babillas. You need to get out from LDV and expand your horizons to other venues. I also have a couple of places that have never been mentioned on the forum that I can share with you, but I will do that over the phone or in a email, as I would like to keep them off the worldwide web and Google searches.
As far as the taxi driver Nelson who I used for many years, fuck him, as I have not spoken to him in several years, as he ripped me off for 5,000 dollars on a personal loan he said he needed for a down payment to buy another taxi, and he also tried to overcharge one of my referrals to him. Hopefully karma will find him sooner rather than later.
Much appreciate your postings, and now please update us since you are in Cartagena on the status of the partying going on in Parque Lleras and in Mayorista. Is there a lot of new girls? Do they have big asses? Big tits? Are there many black girls hanging out in Cartagena these days?

Last time I met her, many months ago, I went to LDV to meet her and sis, grabbed a taxi and went downtown to dance. Priceless fun.

[QUOTE=Arcangel;1842818]Yes, you have the right place.
It's only a couple of blocks from Angeles, which on the map is off by one block. Angeles is on Avenida Crisanto Luque (Diagonal 22) near Transversal 40 next to Mega Motos. Angeles is similar but more geared up to partying at night, even though they are open daytime. They get busy when a cruise ship is in town and the taxis bring them customers.

I started a map. A few places aren't listed yet. Some places are ballpark locations seeing Googles satelite photos are not always recent. Add whatever you guys feel the need to add, apartments, disco's, ATM's, Casas. Pleyclub and El Paraiso del Marino Club are harder to locate so they are not listed yet. I will work on map contiuously until it is correct, current and accurate.

Ok let me try to finish this up before my flight. I got lost in a bottle of rum and a snowstorm. Anyway Thursday night I ran into an old friend at LDV. We went back to apartment and partied till 6 am. No sex but a great time. Her name is Cristina. I have known her long time.
Friday night I don't remember. Saturday ran into my all time favorite and a great time. Sorry now I know ran into Karla Friday night then she also came to my apartment Saturday with her fried and we partied and fucked. That made my trip worthwhile. Each time I gave those two girls 350,000 for about 4-5 hours. Fantastic time. I thought LDV had great girls and the beach was packed with chicas every day. One of best trips I ever had.

Best night so far with an average looking girl who I befriended in December. She took her friend with her to make me happy. Partied hard till 4 am, dance and drinks, then trio in my apartment, then sleep like angels holding tight till 11 am. Once more: best experiences seldom happen with photomodels.
Cheapest rate in Centro: 100 k for ST (1 hour), but lower end.
Good looking girls at Reloy: mostly ask 200 k for 1 h, but some ask more.
One asked me 200 k for sex and 200 k more if I want to take her to dance before. Fair, but it sounds bad to me, the idea to pay someone to just enjoy. Better marketing strategy would have been asking 400 k for TLN.
She's looking above average (definitely pretty and sexy). After our conversation, I saw her going to hotel with a handsome young guy around 12. She returned at 2 am ready for a second round with somebody else, maybe me. Sorry, I understand it's work, but I cannot enjoy taking her for 200 k when I saw the one who just entered her hole (s). She went also to Space but no more customers for her.
One looking below average at Space around 4 am asked me like nothing 300 k for 1 hour. Who said that at 4 am leftovers lower price?
The best of the best stories: a tall skinny girl with red dress, pretty but not the best neither super model, standing and waiting in Plaza del Reloy somewhere near Donde Fidel, asked me 300 USD for TLN. Yes, she confirmed 1 million pesos if I want to pay pesos. I politely pointed out that, in the Gaussian-bell distribution of the fees asked in the CTG market, she was at +3*sigma. She did not understand that, but she insisted that she does not care about other girls, since they are not so beautiful as her. Also, she is used to work for an agency and she was at Reloy only for one night.
I forgot the key info: how much did I pay girls so far?
200k + 200k for the "Best night so far", TLN++, that is farra dura 11pm-4am, 3some 4:30am-5:30am, hugging sleep 5:30am-10am.
300k to a student type girl (dance and drinks, 1 sex, sleep till 9am).
100k to a barrio girl called by the madam I've been visiting at least 5 years already at her place (50k tip for her).
First trip to Colombia Jan 2016 staying in apartment El Laguito through Juan. Taxi from Cartagena airport to my apartment 18,000 pesos with the public taxi rank. Not impressed with the beach, what I could see. Apartment was cool, good Wifi, air con and fans above the bed, room safe but too small for a 15" laptop. The satellite TV is all Colombian but with good WIFI bring some streaming options with you like NetFlix, Amazon prime etc and a good VPN so looks like your connecting from home.
I explored playa Hollywood first day on the beach, but not impressed, no real chicas around and read some bad stories about being ripped off by Tony, spent the day round the corner at Bar El Muella, food good, good service, comfy loungers.
But they pad the bills. That first night I just fell asleep in my apartment, could not get out of bed and hit La Dolce Vita, maybe my apartment and bed was just too comfortable? At 80 dollars a night, it should be.
Nearly the same happened on my second night in Cartagena but come 11 pm I dragged myself out of bed. Coming west from the UK and the jet lag is terrible, 6 pm and its really midnight back home, where's in Asia prime time is around 9 pm and that like 2 pm.
Back home.
A few pro girls sat outside La Dolce Vita, inside about 30 girls some look good, no teens though, mostly mid twenties and up. Charged me 16,000 pesos for a bottle of beer, whereas a bar nearby it would be 4,000 pesos.
Shook off a few hardcore mature girls who are choosing you as they are desperate for business. Noticed a cute natural busty Latina next to me, we kept catching eye contact, she knew I liked her. We chat, her English OK. She agree to come with me for 200.
But first I have to buy two drinks before she can leave. Go with the flow, but sounds like bullshit to me. Eventually we leave and I am already nearly 100,000 pesos down from drinks alone in la Dolce Vita.
Back in my apartment, she wants the money up front. I have never had a problem with this and agree to put the money under the clock on the shelf, she agrees and I put 200,000 pesos there. Then she exclaims Oh no! I mean 200 dollars!
Well game over, I tell her to go, not paying that much in Colombia, would not pay that much in the USA or anywhere. I am no cheap charlie but that is taking a liberty. I secretly want those tits bad. Eventually we agree on 350,000 pesos.
Great sex, great BBBJ and DFK, she was dribbling all over my cock and playing with her saliva, fantastic to watch. Lost my cherry but won't be fooled again with the dollar not pesos trick. LOL.

She sounds like a total scam artist. I have never been quoted in USD by a chica in CTG. Always COP. My last visit, I picked up a girl at Reloj and she wanted cash up front. I told her no and started to button up my shirt etc, She quickly agreed to payment after. When they say that, I would recommend pretending that the deal is over. If they insist on payment up front, give them the boot!

Me and my buddy are going to Cartagena for our first time. Is there any place there like mansion in Medellin in Cartagena?
Heading back to Colombia 2nd week of May. I was there a month or so and went to beach pretty much everyday and never saw Tony. I was very happy! I sit with Faul who has chairs rite next to Tony never a problem. Anybody there in last couple weeks see Tony? I hope he's done and I never see him.
Thanks.
By the way I got a great price from Spirit. Total price wit carry on taxes included was 372.00 total. One of best prices I ever got!
Spirit price was Tuesday to Tuesday. ACY to CTG. GREAT PRICE!

I visited the Pley Club. They had a good lineup there. Last time I was there it was full of fat chicks (150 lb and up). This time only 1 or 2 matched that description. Cost was a 620 K for take, includes everything for house and girl. Girl will stay 4-5 hours. I asked cashier and a girl and both quoted the same price. The hottest brunette of the bunch immediately started talking money and spoke English. Red flags went up. She didn't even ask me where I was from. She was a 9. Several 8's in there. Lineup here is best I've seen. I'd rank Isis 2nd, and stay the top 50% of the clock tower ties with La Dolce Vita. Bottom 50% of clock tower rank 4th and SWs come in 5th.
I'm still working Tinder BUT there is often long delays between messages (5 minutes to 2-3 hours). Very difficult to make an appointment when the responses come so infrequently. I get Wifi in my hotel but otherwise I'm dependent on hot-spots.

I originally typed a lengthy report on March 29th which unfortunately didn't seem to be saved into the system. Here is a abbreviated recap.
Arrived March 29th. 18 K for cab from airport. Staying in Hampton Inn (by Hilton). Taxi drivers know it as "Hampton Hilton". I didn't book room in advance. I booked from Wifi in their lobby. [URL]Hotels.com[/URL] price $74/ night. Front desk price $90/ night. After tax I paid roughly $85/ night. I repeated this online booking for 1 or 2 nights. Got $79/ night, then $64/ night last night. Booking at last minute is saving money. However I knew this was a slow week and could see through [URL]hotels.com[/URL] that many rooms in Bocagrande were available. Unlike many hotels (most of them cheaper that I've stayed at in the past), Hampton Inn has modern furniture, terrific bed, quiet A / see, solid windows (no 3-slat windows that lets bugs, heat and noise enter), nice views, strong wifi and girl friendly (must register them with reception).
Went to playa Hollywood beach around 2:30 pm. I saw 6-8 women who I presumed were working. All average, say 6-7 range (1-10 scale) Didn't encounter Tony#1. (thank God). I explored Sun Nao Centro Commercial (shopping mall). It is still awaiting some retail space to be rented. Nice clean mall. It is similar but smaller than the Bocagrande Plaza (4 story modern shopping mall on north side of Bocagrande). The shopping malls nearly bring you back to US environment although food courts definitely have Colombian options. Sun Nao had very few people in there. Most people I saw were in the casino watching Colombia vs Ecuador world cup qualifier soccer match.
I went by the clock tower, Isis and LDV. Isis had decent talent but no stunner. Ages 25-32 I'd estimate. Clock tower had some weak talent and some decent talent. Didn't inquire about pricing. LDV had 8-10 chicas when I entered and 8-9 guys. Stayed 1 hour. A 5-6 more chicas came, nothing too special It was a Tuesday night. I picked a thin girl and probably one of the youngest (she was $25). She asked for 200. I said "dollars or pesos". She then said "200 mil pesos la hora. " I negotiated to 1. 5 hours and left with her. She claimed there was a minimum consumption of 80 K per girl. I had spent 40 K on her two drinks and told her she was on her own. She went back in alone and either bought 2 drinks or pretended to consume the minimum. Attractive and friendly girl but not much passion.
LDV. Only visited on Tuesday and Wednesday so far. I'll post a report if I go on Friday / Saturday. Wednesday night not much different than Tuesday. Music was really loud so I walked in and left 2 minutes later.
On March 30th, Tony#1 was on the beach much to my disgust. I walked right by him without acknowledging him. I didn't see any chicas on the beach and I was not in the mood to suffer Tony today. Sometimes the touts don't bother me much but today I was ready to punch a few.
I've been trying to work Tinder. I made 2 contacts but there is 10 minutes to 2-3 hours between replys so it is very hard to have a dialogue. Both quoted 200 K per hour (when I talked to them during daytime). I said let's meet and talk and no follow up so far. Maybe enough guys are biting on their initial offers? Anyone doing that? In searching tinder I saw pictures of 8's and 9's, but who knows if they are in the game or not, looking for a Colombian guy or maybe haven't logged in for over a year. Lost my phone so Tinder game no longer an option. There is application called "Bluestacks" that let's you run Android applications from your computer. It works on my home computer buy my company laptop will not permit me to install it.
March 31st. Clock Tower.
I made an effort to watch the action around the clock tower Thursday night. Had Pley Club as my backup plan but didn't make it. There was a range of talent in the plaza, 4's to 7's, maybe 1 or 2 7. 5's or 8's. I arrived at 9:30 pm. Only 5-6 girls in the area. About 10 pm the chicas rolled in. Probably 16-20. I lost my cell phone sitting on a bench. It was uncomfortable in my jeans so I kept carrying it in my had. Set it down, got up, walked away. Came back 25 minutes later and nothing. Made efforts to call it from Skype, send text messages (in Spanish) offering a reward but no replies. Just ordered a new phone online. There was a lot of activity around the Clock Tower. There are 3-4 places that have rooftop bars with dancing and light shows. There is Mirardor, VIP Cartagena, another one above the Irish Pub on the opposite side from Tu Candela and maybe Tu Candela or the place next to it has a rooftop bar. All patrons appeared to be tourists from cruise ships or hotels. I didn't enter to say but I didn't see any going it. New girls would just walk into the plaza and stand with a friend or two.
After losing my cell phone and sending text messages to it (telling them to see the guy outside of Tu Candela to get a $100 USD reward) I got into a people watching mode. The girls are very passive. Few approach guys. Some will sit on a bench next to them or talk by and say hola. Many will stand / sit for hours with very little interaction with anyone other than their friend. I'd estimate 75% of the chicas had no customers. I saw 25% leave. I saw 2-3 leave and come back twice. I was in and near the plaza for most of the time between 9:30 pm and 3 am. I left only to use my laptop at the hotel to call / text phone and to walk around corner to Carulla market to buy soda / water. The plaza with bustling with a lot of activity (people and music) but bad night for the chicas overall. Based on what I observed, chicas should be thrilled to get 1 customer a night. Around 2 am I gave up on getting my phone returned for a reward. I had my eye on one petite brunette who I think left the plaza with her girlfriend. I was attempting to stay awake to 4 am to see the discos but I was feeling quite tired at 3:05 am and left. I might try to do it tonight as I slept in till 12 pm today.
ATMs. I've been using the ATM in the Carulla market (1 block down the street from Olimpica). I got 600,000 CP per withdrawal. Cost was $196.63 on my bank statement and a $3 foreign transaction fee. So roughly $200 USD = 600,000 CP (3000 CP per dollar). Money changers are offering 2820 per dollar.
[QUOTE=KyleFox;1859284]I originally typed a lengthy report on March 29th which unfortunately didn't seem to be saved into the system. Here is a abbreviated recap.
Arrived March 29th. 18 K for cab from airport. Staying in Hampton Inn (by Hilton). Taxi drivers know it as "Hampton Hilton". I didn't book room in advance. I booked from Wifi in their lobby. [URL]Hotels.com[/URL] price $74/ night. Front desk price $90/ night. After tax I paid roughly $85/ night. I repeated this online booking for 1 or 2 nights. Got $79/ night, then $64/ night last night. Booking at last minute is saving money. However I knew this was a slow week and could see through [URL]hotels.com[/URL] that many rooms in Bocagrande were available. Unlike many hotels (most of them cheaper that I've stayed at in the past), Hampton Inn has modern furniture, terrific bed, quiet A / see, solid windows (no 3-slat windows that lets bugs, heat and noise enter), nice views, strong wifi and girl friendly (must register them with reception).
Went to playa Hollywood beach around 2:30 pm. I saw 6-8 women who I presumed were working. All average, say 6-7 range (1-10 scale) Didn't encounter Tony#1. (thank God). I explored Sun Nao Centro Commercial (shopping mall). It is still awaiting some retail space to be rented. Nice clean mall. It is similar but smaller than the Bocagrande Plaza (4 story modern shopping mall on north side of Bocagrande). The shopping malls nearly bring you back to US environment although food courts definitely have Colombian options. Sun Nao had very few people in there. Most people I saw were in the casino watching Colombia vs Ecuador world cup qualifier soccer match...[/QUOTE]Thanks for the report, and if I may, I want to second the Hampton. I went last year paid 90 $ Or so per night I think, and the place was so damn comfortable. Modern, clean, quiet like an oasis in the madness that is Cartagena. Friendly staff, nice free breakfast each morning, and a wonderful rooftop pool that was great to soak in after a day of running around. I had a nice time, but will not return due to all the beggars and sellers of junk, massages etc. That bother you each minute.
Great detailed site / quality report Kyle. This is a good baseline to consider before my trip. Hopefully you find a stunner in Dolce on Fri / Sat or any of the late night discos. Holla back.
Will look for you Kyle Fox at the Hampton? Got me a night there on Sunday.
Blackpage, if you see this post please read my earlier post? Gracias.

That Hampton looks sweet. Thats the same one in Bocagrande right across the street from the Masters Casino right- And no problem at all with girls? Do they charge for the double occupancy or extra fees? I'm going to book it- Appreciate the intel.
Nice report. Sorry about your phone. I love the money exchange rate. Your correct girls like the guy to call them over as they are passive. Only the ugly ones can sometimes get aggressive. I am not a fan of clock tower area have never taken one of them girls. I prefer LDV, tu candela and other bars in that area. Girls will always take 2-300 mill peso for a few hours of time with you especially if they like you.

I went by the clock tower, Isis and LDV. Isis had decent talent but no stunner. Ages 25-32 I'd estimate. Clock tower had some weak talent and some decent talent. Didn't inquire about pricing. LDV had 8-10 chicas when I entered and 8-9 guys. Stayed 1 hour. A 5-6 more chicas came, nothing too special It was a Tuesday night. I picked a thin girl and probably one of the youngest (she was $25). She asked for 200. I said "dollars or pesos". She then said "200 mil pesos la hora. " I negotiated to 1. 5 hours and left with her. She claimed there was a minimum consumption of 80 K per girl. I had spent 40 K on her two drinks and told her she was on her own. She went back in alone and either bought 2 drinks or pretended to consume the minimum. Attractive and friendly girl but not much passion.
LDV. Only visited on Tuesday and Wednesday so far. I'll post a report if I go on Friday / Saturday. Wednesday night not much different than Tuesday. Music was really loud so I walked in and left 2 minutes later.

So roughly $200 USD = 600,000 CP (3000 CP per dollar). Money changers are offering 2820 per dollar.[/QUOTE]
Hampton Inn has no guest fee. They do ask that you register your guest. They will make a copy of your guest's ID for your protection and for their protection. The hotel is across the street from the Masters Casino. Booking online it said 2 adults for 1 night. No price difference for just 1 adult vs 2.
Friday day I tried Paradiso del Marino at 4:30 pm. They had only 4 chicas when I arrived. Place was dead. 5 guys, 4 chicas. They rang a bell and 4 more chicas rolled out of their rooms over the next 15 minutes. Bar is kind of beat up. Some of the theécor reminded me of Casa Blanca in Saint Marten. Girls were 6's, 6.5, maybe a 7. Some had pretty faces, silicon implants but pear-shaped bodies. One dark hair spinner Crystal was the most attractive to me but I didn't pull the trigger. My taxi driver quoted me 30 K for trip. I was thinking round-trip, he tells me this is one-way. After 10 minute argument I give him 50 K. My gut tells me the guy would try to take advantage of me. I got taxi from right by Hampton. I don't recommend that spot. I think these are the "fat" taxi drivers that have nicer cabs but expect richer clients and charge them more. I asked 4 taxi drivers on the street the price for round trip to Paradiso. One said 50 K and quickly accepted 30 K. 3 others in a group agreed that 45 K was fair. Point to make is to be clear when you are quoted the price if it is one-way or round trip. Taxis to / from Bocagrande. Clock Tower were 6 K day, 7 K night, 8 K late night (3 am), but often negotiated back to 7 K. I might have gotten them all to 6 K since supply was higher than demand but didn't want to fight over 33 cents difference.
Day time options seem limited to casas, personal contacts and playa Hollywood. Possibly Tinder and Facebook if you've made connections there. Mostly it seems like 9:30 pm until 3 am is prime time for chicas. A good strategy would be to collect several numbers during prime time hours to make daytime plans with.
Friday night I went to Café Del Mar around 10:10 pm on recommendation of a cab driver. I didn't see any working girls. I was in the Clock Tower area 10:30 -11:20 pm. Girls arrived later tonight, not too many before 11 pm. Mostly the same from Thursday night, perhaps a few new faces. I've noticed 2 "groups" of chicas. Those who sit down and those who stand. Those who occasionally sit on the benches are more likely to talk to men while seated. I saw several men talking for a while before leaving with a chica. Of those who stand, conversations with men rarely last more than 2 minutes. Typically the women who are standing most of the time are better dressed but "appear" less friendly. I personally prefer to have a conversation for 10 minutes or so with a woman before selecting. Getting 10-minutes experience of their personality can tell you a lot about whether she is a good investment or not. On the other hand, those who quote price and want you to make a decision in under 2 minutes are less likely to provide GFE or provide more than mechanical service.
At 11:30 pm, I went to LDV for Mikey. The scene was not very different from Tuesday / Wednesday nights. About 10-12 chicas inside, a few outside (less attractive, older). There were 5-7 guys inside. I stayed for 45 minutes and not much traffic (male or female) came in and out of LDV. One chica told me in Spanish "There is no money in Cartagena right now". Going rate from those I'd talked to in LDV and on Tinder was 200 K per hour. I went back to Clock Tower after LDV. I noticed a few LDV chicas arrived about 20 minutes behind me. Traffic is high through the main square of the clock tower. The Clock Pub is the bar with the rooftop dance party that I previously called the Irish bar. From 2:30-4 am, there were probably 30-45 women in the main square area. A good 60-70% seemed to not transact any business during that time. It must suck for those in high heels to stand on brick for 5 hours for nothing. While there is a lot of foot traffic thru the main square, much of it is regular tourists, couples, groups of friends out drinking. I'd guess 5-7% of the traffic are mongers.
Around 1:45 am in the main square, a group of 8 college girl tourists walked through. 4 were quite attractive (7's-8's) and just had a clean, pure, well-rested, well-cared for vibration about them. My brain said "Now that's the kind of girl I'd really would like to have". It really made the other women in the plaza seem a bit tainted to me. Those college girls mostly have all their financial / safety needs met and don't have to compromise themselves for much. The working girls on the other hand may be under a lot more stress in most cases.
Funny side story. I wen to this healthy restaurant down Calle 8 from the Hampton Inn. The place is called Goleka and it has healthy wraps, salads and smoothies. I saw this a chain with restaurants in the walled city area of Cartagena and in the shopping malls. Had a good brown rice / quinoa wrap. I'm 90% vegetarian in the US. On the way back from Goleka, I went by what looked like to be an outdoor bar / restaurant. There was a sign in the middle that read "Old Parr Tribute". The only Old Parr I ever heard of was the guy on these boards. I thought to myself, "No way. This can't be the special night spot of an ISG board member. Can it? Nah". But I really wasn't sure. Got back to my apartment to Google "Old Parr" and found out it was a brand of Scotch I never heard of.
Darn, I thought one of us was so famous they hung a banner up to show their respect.
On eating, I've eaten 3 times at the KFC near Calle 8, Avenida San Martin (Carrera 2). They have a Casero Combo that is 11,900 CP for 2 pieces of chicken, rice, lentils (or black beans), small salad and chicken / veggie soup. It's a great $4 meal ($5 with drink). The rice and lentils are the healthy part of my diet while on vacation. The McDonald's, Burger King in the north part of Bocagrande and the mall fast food joints are much more expensive.
I walked around today, April 2nd for about 2 hours between the beach and downtown Bocagrande. I walked 2-3 hours each day to see the city and look for talent. I then sat down outside the Olimpica market in the center of Bocagrande (mostly to rest) and watched the foot traffic in and out of the store. I saw no chicas in the game go in or come out in 25 minutes.
As I rested and reflected, I had these thoughts. Over the 4 days I've been here, I have rarely seen an attractive chica (who's in the game) walking on the street, on the beach or in the super market during daytime. I have seem some street walkers in the evenings in Bocagrande but I consider them a low quality option. Normally I will see a few quality chicas here and there. I will also normally see couples consisting of an obvious older foreigner and a young local chica. Almost never saw this. Saw just a very few on the beach. All of this points to this being a slow mongering week in Cartagena. All other reports I wrote should be read with an understanding this is a slow week.
Timing is important. I think when the Colombian college year ends (or semester ends) is probably a very good time as well as pre-Christmas. I had to use some 2015 vacations days by March 31st or I would have lost them.
It also occurred to me that this mongering business hasn't progressed much in the last 50 years. Probably the biggest major difference is girls do have cell phones now and there is the internet. However, often the venues to meet chicas in Colombia and the DR are often unorganized (Clock Tower), known chica bars / clubs or run by unsavory characters with low integrity. Bars and clubs open and close with no good rhyme or reason. If there were clearer moral and legal issues around the business, it would be great to see a highly efficient company step in and manage the industry akin to home Amazon manages Amazon Prime home delivery. I'm a big fan of Amazon and user of that service.
In the DR, there was Passions night club in Sosua. It was probably one of the best run businesses that offered a quality product and reliable service and held chicas accountable for the service they provided. I had one chica offer me a refund when she said she was not in the mood to provide the service I requested (that only ever happened to me once). In a better world that business would be franchised, replicated in other cities and countries and then challenged by other competitors (like Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint in the cell phone market). Until that day we have these messages boards to share intel and make the best of it.
Great reports Kyle, thanks for the level of detail. I'm going to have to use that Hampton on a soon upcoming trip. I'll share my experience after.

I have been going to Cartagena for over 12 years and have always stayed in an apartment in Laquito. I will be there in two weeks and stay in a newer building and pay around $75 per night for a two bedroom with three flat screen TVs, great wifi, two baths, AC, etc. I have water, beer, soda and snacks in the apartment and also have food available in case I do not want to go out for a quick bite.
I can usually find a young lady during the day in this barrio since many tourists and working girls stay in the area. I even met a few at the pool in the apartment building I am staying. I can get a good breakfast and lunch at one of the restaurants in Laquito for less than KFC or McDs and better tasting. I love Laquito because it is less hectic and it does provide some good people watching venues.
I might suggest going to Rocio's (some refer it as Rosario) and / or Angeles. It is about a 20 minute drive and the taxi will ask for 20 K. I usually don't want the driver to wait for me and tip a guy at the casas to hail me a taxi when I am ready to leave.
I have used Tony for many years and he will leave me alone except to bring more beer or to call a girl for some fun. He also has made connections for me with girls there for the day. They may be with friends (even male friends), but Toni will get them to come over to discuss business.
Looking forward to my visit in a few weeks and will report anything new.
Good report Kyle! It's good to know there's a chica friendly hotel there! I think the advantage of hotel is the room is cleaned daily. I may stay there in July. Have a good time bro!
All what you say is true. As far as condos it doesn't matter how many times you tell some of these people they don't listen and want to stay in a hotel? Also my room is cleaned everyday as Juan knows I like cleaning lady everyday at my specified time.

Laguito was part of my walking route. There was nothing to be had. Unfortunately quite dead outside some tourists. On other trips I have caught girls going to and fro from Laguito streets, sitting on apartment steps, in the small grocery stores, coming / leaving the beach, spot them on back of a motorcycle. Unfortunately nothing seen on this trip. Also in Bocagrande during busier times I would spot chicas out of the patio of Juan Valdez Café, McDonalds or similar where they had a good view of the street and could be seen.
Others. If you know of restaurants with good quality meals (lunch / dinner) under $4 US please share with the board.
On night of April 2nd, my last night I skipped LDV. I was in the clock tower area from 10-11:30 pm and pickings were not as good as Friday night. Mostly 5's, 6's some 7's. I took a cab to Pley Club. They had the same good lineup with 3-4 girls I didn't see on Tuesday night. For this trip, Pley Club was hands down the place with the best talent. Girls were prettier, often younger. The worst was a 6, they had many 7's and a few 8's, perhaps 8.5's. I selected Sammy, a 5'7" beauty from Medellin. She's naturally brunette, but currently has long blonde hair that with extensions reach the top of her butt. She had a good spirit and a great smile. I interviewed her and she was down for the GFE experience. I did take out for the 620 K price. Careful if you exchange USD here. I only had to 520 K in pesos and paid the other 100 K with USD. They exchange only 2500 per USD. Sammy was excellent. She's got perfect eye brows, a beautiful smile and great energy. She began GFE in the taxi cab and was not stop passion. After 2 mechanical experiences, it was great to have a beautiful 19 yo girls smiling, looking me directly in the eye and kissing me every time I leaned into her. She's a sweet girl and I regret not selecting her Tuesday evening. Were it not my last night I would have invited her for daytime activities.
I'm a very picky bastard selecting chicas. I would have taken 6 different girls from Pley Club. In the clock tower area and LDV I only saw 1-3 each I would take. I'm in the airport returning now. I got $238 round-trip from Fort Lauderdale on Spirit.
238.00 round trip sounds like good price. As much as I travel, funny thing is I don't travel to fuck. I travel to party and fuck is way down the list but girls love to party and then fuck. So I would never worry about running to all different places. But once I Get lost in the snow, I wind up with a party at my place with some crazy chick. Never a problem. Plus I dress to impress and my place is filled with food and party supplies. It's easy.

On night of April 2nd, my last night I skipped LDV. I was in the clock tower area from 10-11:30 pm and pickings were not as good as Friday night. Mostly 5's, 6's some 7's. I took a cab to Pley Club. They had the same good lineup with 3-4 girls I didn't see on Tuesday night. For this trip, Pley Club was hands down the place with the best talent. Girls were prettier, often younger. The worst was a 6, they had many 7's and a few 8's, perhaps 8.5's. I selected Sammy, a 5'7" beauty from Medellin. She's naturally brunette, but currently has long blonde hair that with extensions reach the top of her butt. She had a good spirit and a great smile. I interviewed her and she was down for the GFE experience. I did take out for the 620 K price. Careful if you exchange USD here. I only had to 520 K in pesos and paid the other 100 K with USD. They exchange only 2500 per USD. Sammy was excellent. She's got perfect eye brows, a beautiful smile and great energy. She began GFE in the taxi cab and was not stop passion. After 2 mechanical experiences, it was great to have a beautiful 19 yo girls smiling, looking me directly in the eye and kissing me every time I leaned into her. She's a sweet girl and I regret not selecting her Tuesday evening. Were it not my last night I would have invited her for daytime activities.
I'm a very picky bastard selecting chicas. I would have taken 6 different girls from Pley Club. In the clock tower area and LDV I only saw 1-3 each I would take. I'm in the airport returning now. I got $238 round-trip from Fort Lauderdale on Spirit.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=KyleFox;1859810]a sign in the middle that read "Old Parr Tribute". The only Old Parr I ever heard of was the guy on these boards. I thought to myself, "No way. This can't be the special night spot of an ISG board member. Can it? Nah". But I really wasn't sure. Got back to my apartment to Google "Old Parr" and found out it was a brand of Scotch I never heard of.
Darn, I thought one of us was so famous they hung a banner up to show their respect.[/QUOTE]Too funny I had the same thought on coming across Old Parr on signs and menus in Cartagena. Never heard of it state-side, but Old Parr is prominent in CTG!
That's funny. I Been drinking old par, Medellin Rum and (Sangria from Carbon de palo for years.

Spent a few nights in Cartagena in early April, stayed in Bocagrande at the Hampton. Here's some general info. Mongering part 2 to follow.
**Hotel.
Good location. This Hampton is pretty basic (more so than US locations), but nice enough if you are on a quick trip (also good if you are building Hilton status / points, or prefer online booking system). I think longer trips or repeat visits should go to an apartment or an upscale hotel.
Beds are okay (good by Colombia standards), small fridge, safe, fast WiFi. Free breakfast (6-10 pm).
Chica-friendly (they need a cedula). 17th-story roof top pool has a great view, but closes at 6 pm. Very minimal gym. Hotel does the right thing and won't charge you the 16% VAT (some places you have to fight about this).
** Taxis.
Near the Hampton, Taxis seem to be priced higher (they start at 8 or 10 K to el centro, even if you've got decent Spanish). Ask price first, tell them it's too much if it's too much. I personally don't like to fight with the locals over 66 cents.
One trick: look for the old, dirty, beat up taxis instead of the larger shiny ones. The latter are usually more expensive.
** Exchange Rate.
1 USD has been in the 3000-3100 COP range for the last month. Both credit card and ATM withdrawals were very close to the actual rate that day. Much better than money changers.
** Groceries / ATM.
Carulla "Castillogrande" is on the upscale side, has a better selection of liquor. There's two ATMs in front, the lefthand one (chip-friendly) has a high 780 K withdrawal limit, 10.5 K fee for that.
** Malls.
I checked out Centro Commercial Plaza Bocagrande, which is fairly new, and the lower levels have surprisingly upscale stores (and no customers). The top floor is a food court with Colombian offerings and views of the ocean. US style air-condiitoning.
** Restaurants.
Coffee is good everywhere. I personally like Juan Valdez best. Free wifi, comfortable locations, light food available. Top-notch double espresso for 3 K, one dollar.
I tried several of the board recommended locations plus others:
La Mulata (centro): Now open for dinner also (I found it closed around 6 pm though). Lunch menu varies (Colombian and seafood), entrees around 20-25 K. Gets tourist traffic from the several hostels on the same street.
La Fonda Antioquena (Boca): Colombian fare. Mediocre, one of the least inspired bandeja paisas I've had (though I've eaten most of them in Medellin or Miami). 20-25 K per entree.
Carbon de Palo (Boca): Steak, pretty good, serves dinner past 10 pm. 30-45 K per entree.
Arepas Pues (Boca): Stuffed arepas and similar, serves late (midnight or more). 8-12 K per item.
Crepes Waffles (Plaza Bocagrande top floor): Their usual menu, about 10-25 K per entree?
** Other thoughts.
The tourist scene (especially gringos) seems quieter than usual.

[/QUOTE]The fare for taxi Bocagrande-Centro is 6 k and no more than 6 k.
I think they gather around Hampton because they found that around it there is people who is not aware of that.
NOWHERE IN THE WORLD a money changer could beat ATM (debit card, not credit card), except on the black market.
Arepas Pues is open 24 h, and it's therefore nearly the only place where people can go to eat with a girl from Space before going to the apartment.

[/QUOTE]Bocagrande is a large area (view boundaries via google). It stands to reason that the price varies depending on if you're at the end nearest El Centro or the end furthest (in other places, the meter would reflect this). Regardless, as I wrote, that's the price they were asking.
If you want to fight with some impoverished developing world taxi driver over 66 cents, go right ahead. Somebody's got to provide fresh fodder for "the Ugly American" stereotype.
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1864038]

[/QUOTE]I didn't say anything about beating the rate, I said it was "much better". As that phrase implies, the spread was greater than expected.
Also, my credit card (charging) gave me the same rate as the debit card (withdrawing). Actually better on the credit card once the ATM fee was factored in for the withdrawal.
Anyway my report is meant to be informational for mongers looking for fresh news, or visiting for the first time, or otherwise new to the city. Obviously people who've taken root in the dark corners of Bocagrande will already know what they need to know. Hopefully they contribute their intimate knowledge of the location rather than snipe about other reports.

[/QUOTE]Your report is informational, I did not argue that, and my comments were even more informational, aiming JUST at fixing some few details, to avoid that some newbie "visiting for the first time" could be misled.
1) Bocagrande-Centro is [b]6k[/b]. Period.
How many times did you visit Cartagena? It does not matter if Bocagrande is large or small. Don't lecture about taxi fares, since you have been there just once. No, it is not true that "the price varies depending on if you're at the end nearest El Centro or the end furthest". Yes, "in other places, the meter would reflect this", but not in Cartagena.
Now, once we know the fare is 6k, we are free to leave a tip (and I often do).
After midnight, they usually demand a surcharge (8k), which is probably not standard, but when one is with a girl, and the driver knows the guy is going to give her 200k or more, and he already spent 100k-200k on drinks, it is hard to be stingy.
The fact that taxi drivers around Hampton usually asked you more than 6k means that they know that the average tourist at Hampton is not aware of what are the regular fares. Nothing bad in that, but ISG is here on purpose to inform.
2) Again ATMs. It's surprising this topic comes back again and again.
Once more: yes, the exchange rate on a credit card is the same as on a debit card (not surprisingly: Maestro is the debit circuit of Mastercard). The difference is that, when one uses a [I]credit[/I] card, he has to pay [I]in addition[/I] 4% fee to the international credit circuit (Mastercard, Visa,...) which [I]advances[/I], that is [I]loans[/I], the money.
A bank can issue a credit card with some special conditions, but the international credit circuit (Mastercard, Visa) is the same and keeps its rules. So, no way to escape 4%. (easy to avoud this: just use the debit function of a card, avoiding the credit function).

I cannot believe it's open only 12h from 6pm to 6am. It would be a well strange business model.
By the way, there is another place good for arepas, almost in front. I don't remember the name, but it's venezolano.

This was in 2015, with 3 good girls at Arepas Pues at 5:30am looking forward to sleeping in my apartment (sorry I must hide the face, I hope nobody could recognize them). At that point, actually, it was not even clear [i]who[/i], [i]how many[/i] and even [i]for how much[/i] would have slept in my bed.
The decision came spontaneous after the arepas.
It's a good thing that non-hardcore girls often rent cheap apartments without aircon. This makes my apartment immediately attractive.
We ended up with one sleeping with me and the others in the living room till next morning 10 am. Of course, this was not the first time I met them (it's not a good idea to bring more than 1 girl to his apartment, if one does not fully trust them). It was also the beginning of a good friendship. We had 3somes but not 4somes. My last time in CTG I met again one of them and we keep in touch, even now that she stopped working.
PS: Note the different style of the chairs. When did they change?
It's time for me to contribute to this great community from which I learned so much. I just came back home from my 4 day trip to Cartagena and have a story to share which is probably going to be long. I rented thru AirBNB a nice condo next to the old city and planned to invite my favorite lady from Medellin which I met in the Mansion two months earlier. I told her that I pay airfare and 300 k for each day that she spends with me. I am not a guy who is looking for a girlfriend but I needed this for several reasons: a) to have a pussy available at any time, b) to practice my Spanish skills, c) to have a guide in Cartagena where I never been before, and finally d) to use her connections to pick up a girl once or twice for threesome.
As if expecting this, a few days before the trip, she texted me asking if I do not mind if she brings another chica - a very good friend of her. She sent me her pictures and assured that the chica is really good in bed and she is very excited to join both of us. We negotiated a bit on the money - I told her I am not going to pay double so we settled somewhere around 1. 5 in other words, "pay for one chica get another for half a price" .
The chicas arrived 5 hours after my flight so I had enough time to change money, to settle in the apartment and get some rest. Once they arrived we had a good threesome and went to the VIP Club which they wanted that night. I felt a bit weird appearing to be a sugar-daddy for two chicas around me but nobody seems to care much so the night was a blast. The girls were dancing thru the morning (I paid for their drinks but that was part of the deal) and we left the club by 7 in the morning.
Next day we wanted to go the Rosario Island but I made mistake I thought that if we go to the end of Lagito where a private boat can be rented we could get a good deal. Wrong. Instead, this was a place where you can find a bunch of crooked liars! First they wanted 600 k for a round trip. When we was about to leave the place, they quickly downed it to 300 k. But in reality they brought us to Blanco Playa which is much closer. My limited Spanish did not allow me to get the cheaters accountable so we spent the day at that beach. Our luck was that it was Monday so not many locals were there and the beach was actually not bad! To get back to Cartagena we decided to take taxi and it was another mistake it took as 2. 5 hours of sitting in the car because of horrible rush hour traffic. The girls took a nap at the back seat but I was restless watching awful driving manners of Cartagenians. That evening we went to Caribe Shopping mall to eat and watch a movie. Later we had another great fuck the girls were very thankful for me sponsoring their trip and provided the best service they can (at least this is what I think).
On the third day we went to Tu Candella and another club (I forgot) but ended up in VIP again because in our shared opinion this was the best club in Cartagena. I noticed a few good looking girls there but the number of good looking local guys were also significant so I am not sure that I would have a good chance to pick up a good girl there if I went there alone. By 4 am I was so tired that I told to my girls that I am going home and I expect them to get back in an hour or so. The girls promised but got back only next day by noon. They apparently went to Casa Benjamin to get some more drugs and stayed there for more time. To my credit, I expected that something like that eventually happens and immediately switched to my Plan be: I fired them and told to vacate my place by the evening. They apologized profusely but quickly found another place and left around 8 pm. I wasn't angry at all instead we separated with kisses and hugs and still are very good friends on Facebook. At the end of the day, I do not want to control their life they live this crazy high life for years paying for all goods with their pussies. I knew they eventually loosen up and quite frankly, by the third day, I myself already had enough of the same threesome and I wanted to spend my last day in Cartagena differently.
Around 3 pm of that day, I visited the Casa Rosario - what a shitty place! The manager wanted me to pay 200 k before even showing me any girls. When I refused, he started randomly pointing me at some ugly looking girls passing by and I was about to leave. Then suddenly, one of the girls, cute and young showed up and I decided to fuck her. She was around 7 not a stunner, but in that setting she was obviously winning a few points. I did not negotiate the money I paid the asking price to the manager but I decided to never go this place again. The rooms were filthy with almost non-existing AC. The sex was pretty good though but that was pretty much it. Did it happen to be my last sex in Cartagena, I would feel that my overall great experience got ruined at the end.
Fortunately, later that night, I went to the Torre de Reloj plaza around midnight and the place was busy - I easily counted more then a dozen girls (a few of them 7-8) so it proved what I heard about the place as a good place to pickup hookers.
I noticed an amazing 19 year old Maria a university student who were standing there right in the middle of the plaza, without any amigas. I was monitoring her for 10 minutes she was patiently waiting for a client but, unlike professional hookers, without glancing around and winking. When I finally approached her and introduced myself she smiled and says she wanted 200 k. Once in my place she got wet almost immediately as I start touching and kissing her and the fuck was so good that I asked her to stay overnight adding another 200 k. She was so passionate about sex which makes me to believe that she only recently came to this business to make some money to cover her tuition and living. This is one of those treasures that we got luck once in a while to discover. She has been texting me love messages for last three days so I am now thinking to take her to Cancun or at least to St. Andreas.
I love colombian chicas!

Hi,
I just realized I may be going to Cartagena in a month.
I've read about 10 pages and have some really dumb questions.
I'm in my 40's, have some mongering experience and I'm not too price sensitive:
1) who is Tony?
2) how safe is it to pick up girls in clubs and town squares? Any rip off / robbery concerns back in your hotel room?
3) any reputable escort agencies? Yeah I know the pics will be photoshopped a bit, the prices a little expensive too, but sometimes it's nice to be able to just dial up a hottie especially in the day time, without having to wonder around and / or risk rip offs.
4) I guess there are so many choices that I'm confused but is there a best 1-2 nightclubs for picking up pros? Again at these prices and only having 3-4 days there, I'm OK spending a bit more for hotties, especially if safe because then they can spend the night.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Black Page clear out the messages in your inbox.[/QUOTE]
Cleared thanks! 200 messages from the inbox and outbox cleared. There was some good info, but old anyway.
I would recommend Cuzco, comida peruana, 1 block from Calle Baloco (the one with Quebracho and La Vitrola).
I made a search of some old posts of mine and here it is a compilation of paragraphs, edited and rearranged.
My choices in Cartagena:
1) CUZCO, comida peruana.
Excellent ambience and food. Seafood but not only seafood. Elegant. Classy. Superb food.
About what you cannot eat: the receptionist is a stunning girl with legs to die for (just her costenho accent is too heavy).
Also, I did not notice any evident gringo-puta couple holding hands romantically at the table (way too many in Vitrola, Quebracho or Juan del Mar). (I exclude myself, obviously, because I am not a gringo ahah).
Last time I went there 3 nights in a row.
2) Santisimo. Good and elegant. San Diego.
3 For late dinner: Juan del Mar. San Diego.
Always the same menu year after year, boring, but it closes at 12 am, so it's often my only choice if I go out at 10 pm. What's annoying is the music, too loud and trivial, it even impedes conversating. The owner is very famous in Colombia (soap operas?) So you see ladies lined up for a selfie with him. He plays his role well, so he keeps his smile on face at all times.
4) For steaks: Carbon de Palo in Bocagrande if I am late, Quebracho in Centro if I want the best steak. I just don't like the music, too strong for my taste.
5) For ceviches and cocteles: avoid Bocagrande, go straight to kiosks outside the wall at the right of Reloy (facing it, Av. Venezuela).
6) For lunch: La Mulata in Centro, or a small restaurant on the beach at Laguito which I do not name it (because I like it keeps small and patronized only by locals! Let the gringos gather only at Riquisimo: P).
It's a nice long report, but I cannot refrain from noticing an amazing amount of mistakes you did (well, "mistakes" from my perspective, of course; take it as a friendly opinion).

A) and d) are particularly naif. If there is something which is not lacking in Cartagena is GIRLS! All shapes size and looks from 100 k (or less) to 300 k and much more for big spenders who do not care to spoil the market.
Even if you are in love with someone, don't take her to Cartagena, as you will be surrounded by other girls and you will regret to have no freedom.

The situation is even worse that it looked at the beginning. Only VETERANS of Cartagena go to Casa Benjamin. Girls go there to take drugs. They even fuck for free with the Israelis, just because of the drug. When I hear that a girl goes / went to Casa Benjamin I find immediately an excuse to get rid of her.

[/QUOTE]Finally! At long last you learned. See how good Cartagena can be? Never plan in advance. Go and follow the wind.
EVery night a new surprise. Next time it will be a great trip for you!
But forget the idea to invite this girl to some other place.
Black Page, I have to admin, all your comments are accurate and right to the points. This was one of the reasons I posted my story - to hear good positive critiques from other fellas.
The girls definitely used me as a sponsor for their "business trip" to Cartagena. I kind of suspected and expected this their motivation but my calculation was that at the end I will "use" them more then they "use" me.
Interesting two additional details:
1. They even booked the returned ticket 5 days after mine. Which makes perfect sense as they needed more time to party and to make money.
2. On the second day, they went to Casa Benjamin to buy drugs when I was with them at Lagito. I waited in taxi for about 15 minute.
And you are absolutely right. One of the girls was a VETERAN. She can be seen partying in the Casa Benjamin all over the Facebook pictures and has tons of friends there.
As I mentioned, one of the reasons I planned my trip that way was that I wasn't familiar with Cartagena and wasn't sure what to expect especially on the first couple of days and especially because my trip was so short.
Now I know where and how to get the best girls there. I thought I needed to go to LDV but turned out that the Torre de Reloj has so many options (even on Tuesday) that I skipped LDV all together.
And you're right - if anything, Cartagena doesn't have shortage of girls of all shapes and colors.
Anyway, very good points, bro. Appreciate.
Seriously, you could not pay me enough to step foot in Casa Benjamin. The place is nothing but trouble, and nothing good can come out of stopping there.
A word to the wise. Under no circumstances go to this place, and as Black Page pointed out, if you are with a girl who talks about going there, dump her immediately as she is no good.
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1867676]It's a nice long report, but I cannot refrain from noticing an amazing amount of mistakes you did (well, "mistakes" from my perspective, of course; take it as a friendly opinion).
That's the mother of all mistakes[/QUOTE]Yeah, and I call be bullshit on your post, Black Page, You have no business picking this guy's post apart and critiquing his actions. You weren't there, you didn't experience his good time, you aren't his supervisor, or court-appointed guardian. Chinzano had a good time, and posted a good report, whereas you have done neither.
Seriously, when was the last time you actually posted a trip report (and before you ask when I last posted a trip report, the answer is an hour ago)? No, I don't have the time or patience to read through your 1600+ posts and figure out if you have a genuine trip report to your name. But for such a prolific poster, couldn't you a least post a CURRENT trip report, documenting your perfect, by the book, experience as a monger in Cartegena? Humor us a bit, and share one of your very recent experiences in Colombia, so we don't know you are just some guy churning out posts in your mother's basement, when you aren't making sandwiches at Subway. Forums like these thrive on fresh information, not self-indulgent commentary. As I see it Chizano had a great time that would make a lot of people envious, and you did not. And I actually learned a bit from his report. Thanks, Chinzano.

You don't have to read 1600+ reports. Just go to the Report of Distinction thread. And there is a trick: try a search in a thread specifying the user name. You might learn something, and not about just Cartagena.
I think my first report from CTG was in 2007? I don't remember. So many. And contributions to the Lists. You were not even a member. Maybe still virgin.
Ah, my longest REPORTS (not comments) since 10 years ago are in the threads of Cartagena, Medellin, Bogota, Quito, Guayaquil, La Paz, Lima, San Salvador, Panama, Dhaka, Ghana, Uganda, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Indonesia, plus a number various others in other places which I forgot.
Do you have time to read? Go to the RoD of Indonesia and enjoy my stories from Batam. But I warn you it will take long time. They are collection of novelettes, more than reports.
P.S.: do you write with one or two hands?

Thanks, Chinzano.[/QUOTE]I'm just curious how Black Page's response qualifies as "bullshit?" he wasn't insulting or unnecessarily harsh, he simply pointed out some useful things.
1. Why bring sand to the beach? That's between $100 and $400, just in airfare for the 2 girls, plus food and drinks. If he was planning to wife up with a girl for the whole stay, that's no problem, but paying for about 6 days to get 2 isn't necessarily a good choice. A better option (my opinion) is to hit up the social media and dating sites. Find a CTG girl who's willing and able to play tour guide, Spanish instructor, matchmaker and morning wood chopper.
2. It turns out his tour guide wasn't a good tour guide. For example, the Rosario Island mess.
3. he had a good time, but it could have been better. Only a lucky encounter salvaged it at the end.
4. It appears (my opinion again) he didn't learn anything from the trip. He sponsored 2 chicas who took advantage of his generosity and showed no respect to him (if I'm paying a chica or 2 to stay with me, when I go to the room, they go to the room, not out partying and earning extra money while I'm still paying them). After that, he's still friends with them.
Following up on that, the last girl he now wants to take to another city. If you find someone, somewhere that you want to repeat with, go back to where you found her. There's no way she's going to fuck you better in another city or country. Unless you're planning on marrying her, you don't have to try and impress her by flying her someplace else. There's some chica in Cancun just waiting to be impressed by your pesos.
Chinzano's report was good and helpful, but someone needs to point out the problems, before someone else makes a worse mistake.
[QUOTE=Chinzano;1866529]It's time for me to contribute to this great community from which I learned so much. I just came back home from my 4 day trip to Cartagena and have a story to share which is probably going to be long. I rented thru AirBNB a nice condo next to the old city and planned to invite my favorite lady from Medellin which I met in the Mansion two months earlier. I told her that I pay airfare and 300 k for each day that she spends with me. I am not a guy who is looking for a girlfriend but I needed this for several reasons: a) to have a pussy available at any time, b) to practice my Spanish skills, c) to have a guide in Cartagena where I never been before, and finally d) to use her connections to pick up a girl once or twice for threesome.
As if expecting this, a few days before the trip, she texted me asking if I do not mind if she brings another chica - a very good friend of her. She sent me her pictures and assured that the chica is really good in bed and she is very excited to join both of us. [/QUOTE]Thanks for the report. Good to see someone report both the successes and failures.
What would really help everyone here if for you to identify the girl from the Mansion so someone else doesn't make the same mistakes with her.

On the expense side, I spent on these girls overall 2500-3000 k pesos which is quite a good money, I have to admit. Surely this is not my pocket money.
On the value side, I had two girls with me almost 72 hours, during which I fucked them 4-5 times. I also had no problems filling out my spare time - usual problem when I travel solo on mongering trips.
This time it was pretty much non-stop fun and I truly enjoyed it.
Overall, it was an experience I dreamed about for some time and I don't regret, of cause.
Do I want to repeat this again? Probably, not. It is really too hard to keep all moving parts under control.
Too much room for possible errors especially when deal with two foreign girls in a foreign country with limited language.

[/QUOTE]
Yes, you make a valid point with Rosario Island. However there were a countless number of other situations where the girls were truly indispensable navigating me thru local geography, local customs, etc.
If I were there on my own, I would be constantly immersed in studying directions, and other logistics. They made my life easier on many fronts. Worth to mention that the girls were arguing with the boat owner with such a passion that I had to stop it at one point before it went ugly.
Don't forget that the girls were from Medellin and they mentioned to me that the Cartagena people are commonly non-trustworthy and cheaters, so I wouldn't blame them for being duped in this situation.
We were truly an easy target for these sharks as Black Page mentioned.

Disagree here. Let me explain. First, the chicas actually showed me a lot of respect: they were truly friendly to me, accommodative with my desires in many ways and did their best to entertain me, even in the clubs.
It just at some point of time, they failed to "report to duty" and were fired as a result. Please notice that I was paying them daily but retroactively, so on the morning when they did not show up, they had no pay and were told to vacate my place.
Lets understand that we cannot expect party girls in their 20's in a third country to adhere to the same high US business standards as we used to.
It is perfectly normal that they were carried away with the drinks, drugs and the party. We just need to be able to manage the risks and always have a plan B in case if something does not go as expected. I know the girls did not have intentions to cheat me. They just have some discipline issues and very powerful habits.

I see your point but disagree in details. Yes, I understand a pleasure of a short term fuck.
However, at times, when I feel right chemistry with a girl, I try to arrange a bit more elevated experience such as a dinner, or going to club or even taking a girl to a resort.
This way, (no guarantee of cause but very likely) I get from her a true GFE. Bareback sex, anal sex, etc.
And I am very selective about whom I am going to bring to resort. Cancun is not particular a mongering paradise so why not to lock myself for 96 hours with a hot 19 year old?
Are you saying this is a bad idea? Keep in mind that she never been there and probably it is her first trip abroad. Cancun for Colombian chicas is like Las Vegas or Paris. Very privileged experience.
My gut feeling is that she will be very eager to please me there for giving her that chance. Let's see. I am going there in two weeks so I will report when I get back.

Especially one who's able to help overcome the language barriers.
But, when you're dealing with hard partying girls, you're taking a big, unnecessary risk, especially when they're out on their own for several hours. Too many possibilities for trouble.
If you're really looking for the total GFE, you should find another source. Casa girls and streetwalkers might give it to you, if the price is right, if they like your look, if they are in the right mood, etc. But it's not location dependent.
If you take the 19 year old to Cancun, she's already won. She doesn't have to work harder to impress you because you've already agreed to her price. It's actually better for her if she turns her performance down a notch. Why should she try to blow your mind 3 times a day when she gets paid the same for 1 time a day? You've already bought the tickets. Worst case she gets paid to take a short vacation.
There's rarely a shortage of mongering options in any tourist destination and there are plenty of (I don't like this term) semi-pros who will be happy to play girlfriend to a tourist willing to be generous.
Whatever works for you, if you're happy that's what matters. I just see things a different way.
You did what you wanted to do on your terms Chinzy. Having 19-21 year old girls show up consistently (more than one day) and fuck you consistently is a feat unto itself. I don't care what Country your in. There are just too many variables that can affect a young womans show up rate (parents, she lives with, drugs, boyfriends, period, etc etc etc) In this last trip took you took, you and Charlie Sheen now have something in common. Winning. I don't see anywhere in your report where you took any huge stupid risks- You even held back the money till they showed up. Sure you could of played.
It "Safer" but where's the fun in that? Half the fun of this game is not knowing what's going to happen and using your instincts and experience to limit risk and play it however you see fit. And that's what you did!

After all, she delivered what she was expected to deliver and made Mr. Chinzano happy. Nothing stolen or major trouble. The experience was disappointing to some extent, but it could not have been better IMHO (and I already elaborated enough on that).
Second, I think that it's a awful idea to invite to Cartagena ANY girl from Mansion, so there is no need to point everyone's attention in particular to one of them, as one to not invite. I don't think the experience could have been much better with anyone else.
I am not saying they are "bad girls", but they are "very well experienced", so to speak. Many of them probably went to work to Cartagena a few times already. Any pickup from the Plaza del Reloy or even LDV could give [I]at worst[/I] a similar experience.
[QUOTE=Manizales911;1868253]You couldn't step foot in the place if you wanted to, only Israelite's are allowed in.[/QUOTE]For those who don't know, Casa Benjamin is a holiday "hostel" for Israeli guys. If you can read Hebrew (or you can use Google Translate) you can also check their Facebook.
As Manizales911 reminded, no way you could book there if you don't come from Israel. Try to knock, and the door will remain closed. Sexy girls are the only non-Israeli people who are admitted, and not all girls. Imagine the criterion of selection.
They are paranoid for security, so they just built an external wall protecting the house itself (I guess against bombings). Videocamera pointed to the door, of course. Don't mess with them. They all come from the Israeli army and are well trained.
The other resort for Israreli in CTG was the (in) famous Casa Golan. Closed now, AFAIK, after the scandal of the video posted by some "journalist" depicting a drunk girl taken away from the casa (they hinted she was kind of "abducted", but actually she was simply high of drugs and they were taking her away to not have to much troubles inside).
More details on Casa Benjamin even in this thread, but posted months and years ago. Just make a search for posts including "Benjamin" (why not, also by "Black Page").

There are a hundred guys reading this that will be at the mansion in the next 6 months and probably 99 of them would prefer to know who this "very well experienced" chica is that parties at casa Benjamin in CTG and probably also casa Schlomi in MDE so they can avoid taking her at the Mansion.
Up to Chinzano to further help out the brothers here and provide her name.
Chinzano,
I commend you for doing the right thing and not posting the name. Your kindness in doing so will be very appreciated by myself and many others. Thank you for your reports and much success and happiness to you in your future mongering adventures!

Believe me, if she had ever crossed the "dishonesty" line, I would not hesitate to post her name and her picture all over the place.
She is turning 28 this year (BTW, her amiga was 22) and belongs to the category of "party girls" which makes her fun to deal with, but living "high" apparently takes toll on her.
She performs well in bed, friendly and smiley and have a good personality, 8-9 face, 6-7 body.
I guarantee you that you have nothing to worry if you come across her and hire for service in the Mansion.
One more detail I just recalled: when I had her in the Mansion initially for one hour (200 k) I liked her so much that after first session I extended my offer to the whole night for 300 k.
Then we went downstairs to the Cave bar for a few drinks in between sex. There she met her amigas and they probably smoked the "stuff" and around 1. 30 am she asked me if I do not mind to join them to night club.
I said, I am not interested but if she wants to go then No Problem as long as she returns the difference 100 k back. She returned the money without hesitation!
This is to illustrate how powerful the "party demons" possess her.

"doing the right thing" All I asked was Chinzano provide the name of the girl. I didn't ask for any unauthorized pictures or anything else. Just a simple name so in the future myself and others guys that aren't into the big party girls that frequent the Israeli casas can avoid her. Conversely there are some dudes that are big into the drug scene and this girl sounds like a good one to have for those guys. A simple request for a name, nothing more. This site is about sharing information on mongering, rather I should say it is supposed to be about that.
Thanks to Chinzano again for the original report, it had some info for those new to Cartagena and also provided an honest account of successes and mistakes made.

Same topic, but different prospective:
Girls who often visit Casa Benjamin eventually leave a huge digital footprint on the Facebook pages. Not only the Casa has its own FB page but you can see who shares posts, pictures and videos.
For those who want to know more about girls' background, I strongly recommend Facebook. When I was staying at the Mansion in February I befriended a few girls as well as a few fellow mongers.
Once I get back home, using just these 5-6 connections, I easily identified 30 other working and semi-working girls by simply reviewing their profiles, photos and friends.
IF A GIRL:
- regularly posts provocative pictures;.
- has a number of gringo looking friends;.
- does not have much presence of family members, etc.
THEN SEND HER a friend request. 90% chance she accepts you.
Then look into her friends and apply the same logic again.
FB also gives you a tremendous insight into personality of a girl: you can see where she spends her time, with whom she hanging out, how old is she, etc. You can even make judgement about her IQ and interests by following her posts / likes / shares.
Girls love FB and post their pictures generously there. Normally, they have no problem accepting friend request from gringos because these are potential clients. If, however, a girl rejects your friend request, it means that she is not interested in this business which is actually helpful to separate one type of girls from others.
99 percent of what you say is true. Especially face book stuff. I travel to Colombia many times each year. Once I got onto one face book ho I got many girls now who I am friends with. Now I can send pm 's to girls and they show rite up to my condo at whatever time I tell them.

In the debate over whether or not Chinzano should give out the name of his Mansion party girl, a few have come out on both sides. Here's why I think he's doing the right thing.
Most of the people who post on ISG are decent people. Overall, they treat people right and understand some of the unwritten rules of mongering. But, for every decent monger posting here, there are 20,30 or more, completely unknown people reading the posts.
You never know what people will do. I learned that after a former best friend tried to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] my girlfriend, in my bed. He thought she was too drunk to notice, meaning I would never find out. Wrong.
Forget about the people who might use the knowledge to hurt the girl in some way. What about the guy who goes in and starts telling her about the review, adding in a few embellishments? What type of reception is Chinzano going to get at the Mansion after 5 guys have told her lies about his report?
Nothing good can come from spreading her name across ISG. If you can't spot the differences between a chica who parties constantly and one who doesn't, you probably should just give up, because it's not much harder to spot than a girl with a penis.
I arrived on the 16th and leaving tomorrow. Spent all but the last few days with family and doing the typical tourist things with my wife and her friends.
A few observations since I first starting coming to Cartagena thirteen years ago. First, the energy in Laquito is low, meaning it has more of a laid-back feel with families and full time residents. Very quiet this trip. I noticed a few working girls out attending to routine activities, but if approached, you could set up a meeting. Another observation is since the casino closed next to LDV, foot traffic and activity is at a much slower pace. I enjoy sitting outside of the club and speaking with the girls since it does not put pressure on me to buy drinks for the girls if you want to take them back to your apartment.
April is not as busy as other times of the year and perhaps that is why the energy level is down. I did see some attractive young ladies in the clock plaza, but average girls wanted 300 K for one hour. I took a girl outside of LDV for 250 K for three hours and I would rate her at least an 8. 5 out of 10. I enjoy the Clock Pub for drinks and average bar food, but the waitresses are some of the prettiest and friendly girls in the area. They speak good English and always have a smile for me.
I went to Rocio's one evening and was the only patron in the place and they had to knock on doors to get the girls to come out. I usually find a fun and cute girl here, but this time it was a dud. I was alone for about ten minutes before a handful of ladies came out. I picked a cute little blonde that I thought would be good. Asked for 200 K for thirty minutes and had many restrictions once we got into the room. She had very little oral skills and was just not attentive. I will go back, but if this happens again, I will start going elsewhere.
Last night I went to Angeles and found a 19 year old spinner with the nicest little body. She was not even 5 feet tall, but had a nice butt which I like. She told me she had a four year old daughter and she still had a few stretch marks. I had no problem since she performed well. She likes anal and is willing to come to the apartment later today.
Perhaps Cartagena is not new to me anymore and do not find it as much fun as in the past. Newbies can still have a good time though. Sorry for the short report, but nothing new going on here that has not been reported by others.
That was nice little report.
That's the problem when you go a lot it gets boring for both the writing and the to the reader. Because it's pretty much the same place different faces.
I am going in May and will try to report some new things.
But I always have a good time and meet some real nuts. Last time I was there a couple months ago I picked up a total 10 but a total nut when I got her home. Once the fun started after some partying she was biting the hell out of me. She actually bit me on the face to blood and I was like what the fuck. All she did was laugh total nut but fun. I am into freaky stuff but this ***** is crazy. I still talk to her but she is definitely nuts and totally hot. I think I will invite her over first night.

I didn't subscribe so I cannot send PMs.
I took some of the information you all posted on here and found a few other websites that offer girls and went from there.
Apparently the Havana Club is a decent place to go as well.
Traveling end of May to Cartagena. I was wondering if anyone knows about the Holiday Inn express Bocagrande. I have read the Hampton by Hilton is cool especially since the lobby is upstairs. However the rated at Holiday in are a little better. Will be in Cartagena for 2 days and then moving on to Medellin. Do they charge a fee, what's the deal? I speak fluent Spanish and will get along fine but looking for the path of least resistance here.
I usually frequent Panama, DR, and Buenos Aires but Colombia has been on My list for quite a while.
Thank you gents.

Hello all,
I will be arriving in Cartagena Saturday for a few days. I have read the posts, but I still had a few questions. Is it best to find girls on sites like mileroticos, or go to the clubs, and by clock tower. Also I will it be safe to bring my girlfriend to these clubs.
Which beaches do you recommend in Cartagena? Also any other pointers you guys may have. I am on the younger side, in my early 30's if that helps. I appreciate any advice that is given.

Hi guys,
Looking for advice as a new permanent resident in CTG.
I'm a veteran of Cali and Meds, and just accepted a job offer in CTG of which I've only spent several days prior.
LDV and clock tower seemed quiet and pricey during my visit, and I couldn't find any clubs or casas a la Meds or Cali.
I found more in neighboring Barranquilla and even Dubai Club in El Rodadero.
I don't want to put down CTG (I'm looking forward to living there! I think it's down to lack of groundwork. But insights are warmly welcomed.
Look forward to reporting in, and invite anyone who will be there from mid June for a beer.
Cheers.

Cartagena is a very expensive city, double the cost for almost everything when compared to any other major city in Colombia which is one of the reasons I chose to move to the Santa Marta area, with the other fact being I am a beach bum, and the beaches right in Cartagena and Laguito are dirty and the ocean waters are very polluted with sewage.

Not many "blancas" but especially with Barranquilla chicas some jewels. Sometimes hey stay for a few days, travel fares from Barranquilla and 70-100,000 a day.
Not my style but a definite financial advantage.
Beaches at Playa Blanca are really nice, crowded on weekends and holidays. You can drive there now, bridge from the mainland. Or a little better beach on the ferry just before the Hilton. Streetwalkes in BocaGrands and Laguito. Careful of the oldtimers, Claudias old crew.
I pass on most, like the University girls, some newbies, 150-200,000 and some VicSec. A little expensive but not as active in my golden years.
I have a layover of about 24 hours in Cartagena. It's been a long time since I've been there. Is there a stroll where I can pick up someone decent? A hotel for $50 - $75 not too far from the airport and action?
Not to digress, but I will be in San Andres with a companion for 4 days prior to my layover going home (I'll be alone after San Andres). Any recommendations for a SIM to buy in San Andres, like which carrier?
Thanks.
Was wondering if any of you can recommend a place in Cartagena that has a private pool or jacuzzi. Can be beach or old city. I've stayed at the Hampton inn and one of Juan's places, but this time I want something more private. Where I can have a girl or two laying around topless, playing. Etc. I really need only one bed since its me, but understand it may be a multiple room place.

Read this account from a forum (didn't happen to me). Be careful out there folks:
Backstory: I have been traveling Latin American for a continuous 8. 5 months now with no problems. I had already spent nearly 88 days in Colombia with zero violent incidents. The previous 13 days or so, I had passed in the south of Cali in an highly secure apartment in Ciudad Jardin. Cali was to be my last port of call in the country with 90 days in total before heading south into Ecuador over land. I was having a tough time in Cali up to this point, only doing day-game approaches with essentially zero lays (after several dates with some very sexy but flaky women). Spent almost 2 weeks in the south of the city doing strictly day game around the University del Valle area and Unicentro and some parts of the north around Centenario Mall, with only a sloppy BJ to show for it all. Which admittedly is still better than nothing.
That being said, I decided to ship in a young sexy 21 why / o Colombiana from Manizales (I had met about 5 weeks prior) for my last weekend in Colombia. I had a few lukewarm prospects for the weekend but decided on the sure things instead. She had been hitting me up lately with, "quiero verte antes de irte. " So I decided to go for the guaranteed lovin and bought her a bus ticket to Cali.
I met her at the Terminal de Transportes around 10 PM on a Friday night as her bus was actually on time. From here we grabbed a quick snack before making our way over to the taxi line. Take note this is the official taxi line. We did not hail a cab from the street which is generally not advisable in Colombia, even though I've done it several times without incident. There was a single dark-skinned Colombian guy (looked black) in front of us in the line with several other middle-class people with luggage behind us. Red flag #1, when it was time for the black guy to get a taxi, I noticed that the next available taxi actually waved off this black guy and pointed to us to come get in instead. The thought that crossed my mind was about a Chris Rock standup routine complaining how hard it is for a black person to get a taxi in NYC, but otherwise didn't think anything of it.
Red flag #2 - I was instructed to put my girls luggage in the front passenger seat. When I closed the door (a bit too firmly, apparently), the taxista started angrily complaining that I slammed it way too hard. He clearly seemed to be agitated for some reason. I apolgized and was like, "tranquilo, tranquilo. " Anyway, I gave him the address to my hotel and didn't think anything more of the situation.
Red flag #3 - about 2-3 minutes after leaving the terminal, the taxista pulled into a natural gas refueling station to fill up the tank. We were instructed to get out of the car while it was being refueled for our own safety. The taxista then disappeared for a few minutes and returned once the refueling was complete, probably 4-5 minutes later.
Ref flag #4 - we get back in the car and the guy is complaining about how expensive it cost to have to refuel his car (50,000 COP) and about how he has already been working 20 hours straight today. I was starting to now get uncomfortable at this guy's negativity but me and my girl just kinda brushed him off and thought it better to ignore him.
We slowly approach my hostel now and it is probably 10:45 PM. My hostel is located on Calle 5 across from the Library. It is quite dark, there isn't much traffic, but I didn't think anything further. The taxista approached my hostel very slowly as he appeared to be looking at the numbers to see where the hotel was. Eventually, I just said, "this is close enough, we will walk 3-4 buildings. Gracias. " We get out of the taxi, my girl gets our on the opposite side toward the driver's side / street and I get out on the opposite side on the sidewalk / passenger side. Pay the man 20 k and get about 9 k change. I have the change now in my left hand and my girl's wheeled suitcase in my right hand. Close the door gently, and the guy pulls away about 20 ft and stops.
As I turn to my right I see a guy on a motorcycle (engine quietly running) wearing all black clothing and immediately notice a semi-automatic pistol in his lap, full face helmet on his head. Immediately I knew we were fucked. Next thing I know I feel a cold hard metal object being repeatedly rammed into my right shoulder blade. I knew it was a gun (#2). I dropped the taxi fare change to the ground, and we both simultaneously put our hands up. Then, I slowly went for my iphone 4 in my left pocket and just held it up. It was snatched up immediately. I look out of the corner of my eye and I see my girl in a hysterical panic. The girl was now being approached by guy on motorbike #1, gun shoved in her face. The guy takes her huge purse and her wheeled suitcase, when a third guy on motorbike pulls up now and scoops up her suitcase. The guy then starts patting her down with one hand while holding her at gunpoint with the other. From here, I still have a gun in my back, and my guy tells me "Cartera, Cartera. " I reach into my right pocket and give him my moneyclip. From here, the guys slowly walk towards their waiting motorbikes while looking back over their shoulders at us.
Then, they just drive off, while occasionally looking back at us. I grab my girl and we immediately run into the front entrance of my hostel. The robbery is over, although she is absolutely hysterical and can barely breathe.
Overall damage: she lost what amounted to easily over $1200 USD in merchandise. For her, this is about a 3 month salary. Two smartphones, lots of nice clothing, her wallet, bank card, 30,000 pesos in cash, makeup, purse, etc. I lost about 150,000 pesos in cash, my travel bank card, my ID, and a beat-up iphone 4.
Lessons learned / advice from this experience:
(1) Whenever possible, always use easytaxi, uber, or a similar app when calling taxis in Colombia. This will ensure that you have the driver's information in the event shit hits the fan. I personally prefer using public transport when possible, but in a city like Cali this isn't really possible.
(2) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver stop en route to your destination. Taxi drivers are specifically prohibited from doing this during a taxi fare. Didn't know this at the time.
(3) Under no circumstances should your taxi driver be on his phone. People in Colombia are generally very wary / paranoid of a taxi driver on their phone because it is easy for them to tip off some waiting robbers.
(4) If your taxi driver seems agitated or in a negative mood at all whatsoever, get the fuck out of the cab and get a new one. There is no reason you should be dealing with a taxi driver with a bad attitude or bad mood.
Final thoughts.
It turns out we firmly believe that we were set up. The whole thing was planned. When we stopped to fill up the tank, we believe that the taxi driver called in the muscle during the time that he disappeared to use the bathroom. Next day, we filed a police report at the police station in the centro of Cali, then I went to the bus station and we watched the video of the registered taxi line. While at the police station telling our story, one of the clerks just shakes her head, let's out a sigh, and says, "Cali es Cali" (Cali is Cali). She seemed disappointed but completely unsurprised. Luckily, our taxi driver's vehicle was on video and we were able to get his plate number. That being said, it is highly unlikely that there will be any sort of justice done on our case. After talking with the police detective, we realized how swamped and understaffed their office seemed to be. We realize and understand that there will probably be no justice in this case, given how inefficient the justice system seems to be in this country. Lesson learned, and I hope at least one person can learn from this too.
Hello,
I am planning a trip to Cartagena and would appreciate additional details on the short-term love motels there. Love motels may be a better fit for my needs (it's a long story) than the chica-friendly apartments in El Laguito / Bocagrande that many users of this forum evidently prefer. It also seems like love motels are the preferred option of many Colombians, so I figure that there is virtue in doing it like the locals. I did some research on this thread, but some of my questions remain unanswered.
1) What if any love motels are there close to (ideally, within walking distance of) the two main mongering hubs, I. E. A) LDV and Playa Hollywood; and b) Centro and the Old City, such as the Clock Tower Plaza. I looked up the addresses of the short-term hotels listed on this thread, and most of them appear to be far away from those two areas, either out by the airport or deeper into the mainland part of the city. I also did some Google research on my own and reached the same conclusion, although I presume that there may be lower-end motels in those two areas that do not have a searchable online presence.
2) What are the rates of any of the love motels in those two areas, and what was the quality of their rooms? I don't need them to be fancy, and in fact I would rather not spend a lot on fancy amenities and decoration that does not matter to me. I just need them to be comfortable enough, with a clean bed, a bathroom, and air conditioning.
3) Do love motels require identification? If so, do they require you to show your actual passport, or will they also accept either a photocopy of your passport or your actual local state or city government-issued ID? I ask because I do not want to carry my passport around with me when I am out picking up chicas, for security reasons, but I can carry around my local government-issued ID, if need be.

Of course they go to love motels.
Many of my posts in the pasts give an answer to your questions below. Search better. And there is the List.
My advice: rent an apartment. Try La Jaiva. You'll love it. And you'll also go back to your apartment for better fun (parties, long nights, etc).
La Jaiba is at Crespo, near the airport, which means 15 mins and 15 k-20 k COP taxi. Nothing compared to the 150 k-200 k-300 k you will give to the girl. Other 2 motesl near it, but see my old posts and the List for details.

2) RTFF. Yes. Search my old posts and the List. Not only my posts, of course. Plenty of posts. [/QUOTE]Thank you for stating the absence or dearth of love motels in Centro more explicitly. I did get the impression from my prior research on the love motels on the List in question that most of them were further out into the city, but it is helpful to hear more specifically that such establishments are generally not available in Centro. Can you or anyone else confirm the absence or presence of love motels around LDV or Playa Hollywood?
When I did my initial research before my post, I saw in your old posts a reference to an establishment in Centro whose name was unclear, perhaps because of name changes. Sol de Indias, or Sol why Mar. Is its current name Hotel Sol del Mar? The place that I found is at 69 Piso 2, Cra. 7 #34. From the description and context in your old post (s), it sounded to me like this establishment could be a love motel. Hence my interest in learning about the availability of such establishments in Centro. I found Hotel Sol del Mar on non-mongering travel websites, and it looks like a regular hotel at first glance. However, some photos and travelers' reviews of the hotel portrayed a room that looked and sounded more like that of a love motel. So what is it? A regular hotel with some love motel capacity? Is it also chica-friendly for regular guests?
It's both. Last November I stayed there and asked for a room facing the street. I think that it cost around $25 USD but they do add on a joiner fee. They have two rooms facing the street with small verandas. After a certain evening time, the road is closed for vehicle traffic and the only thing you hear is the occasional pedestrian and the clip-clop of horse carriages. Quite romantic actually. LOL. They also have several rooms in back area without windows.
It's only a matter of time before that place is converted into a legit bnb though they do have some issues with the size of the rooms and the lack of windows in the back so perhaps it may be around for a while. However, it's really the only decent place to stay in the El Centro for rock bottom prices plus it's within a minute walk to the ClockTower. Sometimes, I see unsuspecting tourists there too though guess they figure it out eventually. Also, The rooms are quite tiny.
[QUOTE=GringoItaliano;1900128]Thank you for stating the absence or dearth of love motels in Centro more explicitly. I did get the impression from my prior research on the love motels on the List in question that most of them were further out into the city, but it is helpful to hear more specifically that such establishments are generally not available in Centro. Can you or anyone else confirm the absence or presence of love motels around LDV or Playa Hollywood?
When I did my initial research before my post, I saw in your old posts a reference to an establishment in Centro whose name was unclear, perhaps because of name changes. Sol de Indias, or Sol why Mar. Is its current name Hotel Sol del Mar? The place that I found is at 69 Piso 2, Cra. 7 #34. From the description and context in your old post (s), it sounded to me like this establishment could be a love motel. Hence my interest in learning about the availability of such establishments in Centro. I found Hotel Sol del Mar on non-mongering travel websites, and it looks like a regular hotel at first glance. However, some photos and travelers' reviews of the hotel portrayed a room that looked and sounded more like that of a love motel. So what is it? A regular hotel with some love motel capacity? Is it also chica-friendly for regular guests?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=GringoItaliano;1899824]Hello,
I am planning a trip to Cartagena and would appreciate additional details on the short-term love motels there. Love motels may be a better fit for my needs (it's a long story) than the chica-friendly apartments in El Laguito / Bocagrande that many users of this forum evidently prefer. It also seems like love motels are the preferred option of many Colombians, so I figure that there is virtue in doing it like the locals. I did some research on this thread, but some of my questions remain unanswered.
1) What if any love motels are there close to (ideally, within walking distance of) the two main mongering hubs, I. E. A) LDV and Playa Hollywood; and b) Centro and the Old City, such as the Clock Tower Plaza. I looked up the addresses of the short-term hotels listed on this thread, and most of them appear to be far away from those two areas, either out by the airport or deeper into the mainland part of the city. I also did some Google research on my own and reached the same conclusion, although I presume that there may be lower-end motels in those two areas that do not have a searchable online presence.
2) What are the rates of any of the love motels in those two areas, and what was the quality of their rooms? I don't need them to be fancy, and in fact I would rather not spend a lot on fancy amenities and decoration that does not matter to me. I just need them to be comfortable enough, with a clean bed, a bathroom, and air conditioning.
3) Do love motels require identification? If so, do they require you to show your actual passport, or will they also accept either a photocopy of your passport or your actual local state or city government-issued ID? I ask because I do not want to carry my passport around with me when I am out picking up chicas, for security reasons, but I can carry around my local government-issued ID, if need be.[/QUOTE]Go to the "Cartagena Lists" thread and on the most recent page you will find a list of the Love Motels in a post by WorldTravel69. Las Dunas, which is probably the highest cost love motel, was 45 mil pesos for the first two hours as recently as earlier this month. I wouldn't call a 10-minute taxi ride at a cost of 10 mil pesos or under as being far or expensive. Las Dunas and the other two I've used were all setup so that your taxi drives into a gated compound, pulls into a garage connected to a room and you and your girl then get out and walk directly into your room. You aren't asked for IDs, nor to pay in advance. It's very private and secure. The ones I've used have all had air, mirrors, shower, bathroom, TV, music, mini bar, etc. Rooms at Las Dunas also have a sex chair.

I repeat: [I]Cheap (love) hotels, not (love) motels in Centro.[/I].
Motel = Motor hotel, that is a hotel which you access by car.
Listen to Hilltopper! Las Dunas is the best MOTEL (not a hotel). La Jaiva is second, but a very good one anyway. Also La Jaiva has love chairs etc. Try once. You'll love it. But rent an apartment. It's the best or only thing to do in CTG. (if you want to elaborate further on what a LOVE MOTEL can be in Colombia, make a search in the Medellin thread for my posts about motels. A couple are titled "Chimba de hotel" or something. Yes, I wrote hotel but it's a motel). In Medellin you really see how seriouos are Colombians when it goes to have sex in a motel.
Sol del Mar yes, that't it. It's the place to go for a cheap quickie at one block from the Reloy. Tomasb explained. (yes, it's a HOTEL, not a MOTEL).
You asked: "A regular hotel with some love motel capacity? " NO, there is a steep stair to get the entrance from the street. You can't make it with a car, not even a dune buggy LOL
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1900449] La Jaiva is second, but a very good one anyway. Also La Jaiva has love chairs etc.[/QUOTE]I made the same typo multiple times. The name is LA JAIBA (a kind of crab), not "La Jaiva". The way "v" and "be" are pronounced is nearly the same, hence my mistake. Sorry for that.

I tried contacting Hotel Sol del Mar and have not heard back from them. They did not answer my email and did not answer the phone when I called them twice. Their rooms are listed on mainstream travel booking websites, but I want to contact them first, and it may not be a good sign if they do not answer their phone or their email.
[QUOTE=WetNose;1899146]Read this account from a forum (didn't happen to me). Be careful out there folks:
Backstory: I have been traveling Latin American for a continuous 8. 5 months now with no problems. I had already spent nearly 88 days in Colombia with zero violent incidents. The previous 13 days or so, I had passed in the south of Cali in an highly secure apartment in Ciudad Jardin. Cali was to be my last port of call in the country with 90 days in total before heading south into Ecuador over land. I was having a tough time in Cali up to this point, only doing day-game approaches with essentially zero lays (after several dates with some very sexy but flaky women). Spent almost 2 weeks in the south of the city doing strictly day game around the University del Valle area and Unicentro and some parts of the north around Centenario Mall, with only a sloppy BJ to show for it all. Which admittedly is still better than nothing.[/QUOTE]Congratulations on cool thinking- if you were going to be robbed you did it the "right way ". Dropped your change. Pulled out the phone / wallet- whatever they asked for. Without the slightest hesitation or 2nd thought instead of being like the other you read about here who try to play super hero and lose their life. There were some good lessons there for sure that you pointed out. As they say in South America- "Head on A Swivel".

It looks like you persist in your mistake. You will regret not having listened to the advice of senior people.
Sol del Mar is really a ugly place to stay for vacations. You can go there for an hour if you want a quickie, but I really cannot imagine someone enjoying holidays there. The very basic fact that they don't reply your email is indicative. Don't persist.
It's right there are not many decent places to stay for 25USD/night, as Tomasb says, but if one is on a tight budget then he should not go to Cartagena, which is the most expensive place in Colombia. "Vorrei ma non posso"? I've seen two Italians at Babar sharing ONE DRINK, probably to save money, and watching me dancing with my two sweet girls all the time. I don't repeat the comments of my girls.
And also for a short time experience, make yourself a favor and go to La Jaiba.
Something priceless you will not get in many other places of the world is taking a good girl somewhere (also Reloy), or even two as I did a few times, spend 2-3-4 hours dancing and drinking at clubs as a king with your girlfriend(s) (budget: 100k-150k [i]just for drinks[/i], as 1 drink is 20k-25k), then go back for a private party at your apartment, then sleep with the candy/candies in your arms. Not all girls are suitable for this, but experience and good luck are instrumental to identify the right girl(s) among so many soulless sharks and yield an experience that in Europe and [I]especially in Italy[/I] is IMPOSSIBLE. Trust me.
After spending some time at an apartment on Calle Moneda in CTG, I went to Santa Marta for a few days. As I needed a room for a few nights in CTG before my return flight, I went to the front desk directly and booked a room, specifically requesting a room in front.
The front desk guy seemed a little bemused by my res request but nevertheless it served my purposes for a few days. I don't think I would advise staying longer. As Black Page said, it's not exactly a vacation stay kind of place. I don't remember the joiner price but maybe it was between $10 to $15.
Yes, you will find that most of the girls pick that place for short time place though it's frequently full. There is a rat whole of a hotel up that street called the Tropicana. You know you have hit rock bottom when you take a girl there.

Can anyone recommend a trusted and reliable source of chica-friendly apartment rentals in the Old City / Centro of Cartagena? I asked Juan Ventura, pursuant to the recommendations of many members of this forum, and he indicated that his chica-friendly rentals were only in the Bocagrande / El Laquito end of Cartagena.
I prefer to stay in the Old City / Centro because it will be closer to a wider range of the many things that I want to do there (including both mainstream tourism and mongering) and because it sounds like it has a more interesting or appealing environment. As far as I can tell from what I have read so far (and please correct me if I am wrong), the only major advantage of Bocagrande / El Laquito is proximity to Playa Hollywood and La Dolce Vita.

Sorry to insist, but leave ASIDE all your preconceived ideas and do as others do and recommend here. You won't regret that. I followed all your path years ago:
1) For several years, I stayed in a cozy hotel in El Centro, for the same reasons you mention, and went to short-time hotels and motels for the deed, closing my ears when senior members here were recommending me to rent an apt;.
2) I tried once to rent the apt in Bocagrande, winning my preconceived preference for staying in a hotel;.
3) I opened my eyes and I never went back to my hotel in El Centro San Diego.
Now, I have "my" apartment in Bocagrande, and I feel like a king, paying roughly the same amount per night as in the 3* hotel in San Diego.
In short, this is what I recommend you:
- Take your apartment in Bocagrande. Choose a good one with sleeping room, living room, possibly balcon and other ameninities;.
- Take a taxi to spend your night in Centro, or just for a stroll or a coffee. Plenty of taxi 24/24. 6 k standard fare to Centro and 6 k back. Avoid LDV (not worth, but this is MY opinion) for the night. Just go to Centro. Girls will love to go to Bocagrande to your apartment. Best restaurants and bars in El Centro. Bocagrande is very touristic and beaches suck, but it's there where there are all best apartments.

To answer one of your earlier questions about love hotels, I don't recall the name but I was in Cartagena about a month ago and didn't want to take a clock tower chica back to the Hilton in Laguito because I had a novia from Bogota arriving early the next morning and the clock tower chica took me to a short term hotel about a 5 minute walk. Cost was 16,000 cop for an hour, had horrible a / see, but was decently clean, hard bed, small bathroom and did NOT require any identification from either of us.
Stopped in Cartagena a few times during June -July. Here are some observations:
Decent selection of talent; increase of girls from Venezuela which has helped buyers' side of equation; Aldo's lare-night spot, Opera has closed; Space going strong at 4 am, but many of girls have an edgy temperament if you get my drift; VIP Club, which is now the name of the three-level bar a couple doors down from Tu Candela, had a nice mixture of couples, tourists and working girls at 11 pm To 1 am the night I was there; there were lots of decent looking girls outside in the large area facing Tu Candela / VIP Club (clock tower) at night; LDV numbers down considerably from its peak, but worth stopping-in as there were a few takes; Playa Hollywood kind of hit and miss, but still worth scouting late afternoon and sometimes even early morning; still a few chicas strolling Laguito and San Martin in Bocagrande starting dusk or so.

How is Evissa? That was my favorite club last time I went to CTG (March), at roof top at the left of Reloy Plaza, watching the tower. The best for music and ambience, but not for finding girls, rather to bring them there.
Aldo. So sad. What's wrong with him now? His Elektra for many years was the best in town, the place to go after 3 am. In March, Opera was always empty, while Space was full. I agree with your feeling about girls in Space. But being it so crowded, one can always find someone interesting.
This will be my first trip to Cartagena and I am committed to staying at the Intercontinental Cartagena de Indias Hotel which looks to be in Bocagrande. I presume it is not chica friendly.
When I was in Bogota I managed to visit a few houses and had good experiences there that I have reported on.
After reading the posts, I still feel uncertain about the best options in Cartagena, for some fun in the daytime / late afternoon. I also feel a little leary about taxis after reading the TaxiRobbery account, though it sounds like Uber in Cartagena may be okay.
Ideally, I would safely walk from my hotel to a place with the chicas, but I am guessing that is not possible given the location I'll be staying at. Given that the place is likely not chica friendly, I presume, I can't just arrange for a girl to come to my room.
As you can tell, I am little nervous about safety-related issues, though I didn't have any trouble walking around in Bogota. Would appreciate advice. Thanks.

As they don't use meters, just quote you a price, I recommend you asking the hotel staff what they estimate it would cost to go somewhere?
Can't answer for Uber. Never used Uber.
Hotel wise I stay at the Hilton properties, and I am a high Diamond member.
Regarding the Intercontinental, I always book a room for (2). It would help your game if you have some hotel status?
I would ask the front desk about a walk in guest policy? And make sure the chica has her ID (cedula) on hand!
Good luck. Have a great time. Hope you can stand the heat and the humity.

Last time few posts ago? You pick taxi from the street 24/24. Just be aware of fares in advance, to be not overcharged (again, RTFF).
RTFF RTFF.
P.S.: Bogota is 100 times less safe than CTG.
I've been in Carta from Thursday to Sunday July 14th -17th for bachelor party. My reviews are mixed. I'll be honest this isn't my favorite city. We have bounced around all the club's around the clock tower, I don't know which club is which. We rented a three story house with 2 pools in the walled city so most of the time we grabbed girls we liked and brought them back to party at our place. They ranged from 150 k to 400 k. I only paid 150 k thanks to the board telling what the real rates are, but My friends don't speak Spanish and the chicas people saw our house and figured we had millions so they asked for more. I couldn't babysit everyone.
Flight was only $340 round trip from fort Lauderdale.
Now to the negatives. This city is way too hot. The air just sits inside the city all day no breeze. I am born and raised in south Florida so I'm used to heat and humidity but this is something else.
Then you have to deal with the hustlers. Holy smokes it never ends. They are relentless on every corner. I'd put this place ahead of Nassau and Jamaica as far as people trying to sell you everything and anything. Who told these guys that Americans want to smoke cigars in 95 degree heat? That's the last thing on earth I want. Anyway.
Having been to both Panama and Costa Rica I'd rank Carta last. Give me Jaco beach in costa or the Veneto in Panama any day of the week. Walk down stairs and the woman are waiting for you.
To each their own but I won't be coming back here. I am glad I did it of course but there are better places in central / south America in my opinion. Maybe I will have more positive vibes when I look back in the future as opposed to writing this burned out on the last night of my trip.

CTG is overrated and will never be a major tourist destination because nearby destinations in the Caribbean that are closer to the US have better beaches, weather, and the touts are not a constant harassment. Also, it looks to me the airport is built in an area that makes it difficult to expand, there's not much infrastructure for more flights, most of the tourism is internal.
If you can weather the negative factors (forgive the pun) I suppose it's a good thing for CTG fans that the destination will never reach critical mass. In fact, I suspect that it's precisely the touts especially, but also the weather, prevent a lot of 2nd visits from US citizens and other countries.
While many Colombians might still consider CTG to be the prime tourist attraction of the country, they might be sadly misinformed if they consider it a great choice for a beach or tropical vacation; better to go to Santa Marta or perhaps further up north in the Guajira region (not much for mongers up there though). Colombians with some money can fly to San Andres island I suppose, although there's no monger scene there either. Rich Colombians with passports have the full set of options obviously; Miami and Orlando are the obvious popular choices that most Colombians dream of going to rich or no.
CTG weather can be just awful during certain months of the year; the heat can be stifling even in the nighttime unless you're right by the sea. I took a Bogotana with me to CTG one time and one particularly hot afternoon, I thought this chica was going to suffer a heat stroke! Folks here complain about the heat in Cali, but I find Cali to be much better weather-wise with its famous cooling breezes at night, something you will be surprised is not so often found in CTG. Some nights it was almost impossible to have a romantic stroll through the streets of the old city with your chica because of the stifling heat.
There are certain sectors in Bocagrande where the hustlers are not so bad but in many areas in the old city, it's almost like a gauntlet you have to get through. It's one of the curses of looking like an obvious gringo tourist. I just keep mumbling no gracias with no eye contact, and I never slow down (or speed up!) Any change in direction, pace, or eye contact just gets them to try harder almost by instinct. Wear dark sunglasses and never be distracted by any hawking of wares.

Aldo's spot wasn't getting as many girls because he was more selective of which ones could enter and then more strict with rules for them. When he had Electra, there wasn't another viable option for the girls. Paying customers (guys) followed where there were more girls, which has been Space. Many of the girls in Space, Aldo would not let in his place. I understand why he was selective, but the 4 am crowd wasn't as discerning. It is what it is.

After reading the posts, I still feel uncertain about the best options in Cartagena, for some fun in the daytime / late afternoon. I also feel a little leary about taxis after reading the TaxiRobbery account, though it sounds like Uber in Cartagena may be okay.
Ideally, I would safely walk from my hotel to a place with the chicas, but I am guessing that is not possible given the location I'll be staying at. Given that the place is likely not chica friendly, I presume, I can't just arrange for a girl to come to my room.
As you can tell, I am little nervous about safety-related issues, though I didn't have any trouble walking around in Bogota. Would appreciate advice. Thanks.[/QUOTE]I haven't stayed at the Intercontinental Cartagena, but I imagine they will want you to indicate 2 adults on your reservation before arrival and then register your 2nd guest when there. So you book a room for two people, and if you hit it off with a particulsr girl , you will want to present her at the front desk as your registered guest for your stay. They'll get her information from you, make a copy of her ID, and have her sign off on the room as well. As long as you aren't looking to change girlfriends, doubtful you'll run into much problem unless she's a problem type of girl, LOL. She's your girlfriend, you're basically representing that you know her and vouch for her.
If you're looking to bring a different girl as your registered guest to your room everyday, you can probably expect to run into a problem with registering a different girl. You could just walk straight for the elevators with your new girl in hopes that no one says anything. If it's a busy time during the day, better chance. That being said, I'd recommend just using a love motel for girls you have just met, and then if you hit it off with one particular girl and want to wifey up, then register her as the 2nd guest in the room at the hotel, and have her hangout with you at the pool, stay overnight, GFE, etc.
Assuming that you will only be in the tourist zones and other safe zones, you don't need to be nervous. You will spend most of your time in Bocagrande, el Centro, el Laguito, Castillogrande and Getsemani, and possibly some time in Crespo, Manga, Marbella, Canapote and Daniel Lemaitre depending on whether you use love motels, go to certain restaurants, etc. If you want to visit local casas, then you will be going to other neighborhoods that can be a little sketchy and you will just taxi to front door and then directly taxi out. For a first time visit, my suggestion is to stick with the freelancers in the first few zones mentionred, unless you are with a trusted fellow member or trusted local.
While a few taxistas will inflate the fare by a mil peso or two, safety travelling to, from and within the zones mentioned should not be a worry. I've always just flagged down a yellow taxi off the street while in any of those zones in Cartagena. The fares are published annually by the mayor's office. There's a night premium of 500 pesos starting at 9 pm, but they'll just round it up a mil peso instead. So the set 6 mil peso fare from Bocagrande to el Centro becomes 7 mil. There is a premium on all fares to and from the airport. The current fare between the airport and Bocagrande is 17 mil. The white taxis that you will see at your hotel will be more; you decide if you want to use them and pay a premium. I've never used Uber, nor EasyTaxi in Cartagena, as I've never found it necessary, but you can if you want.
Taxi fare: Bocagrande to and from Manga, or Crespo, or Marbella, or Canapote, or Daniel Lemaitre is 9 mil pesos, and then add a mil peso for 9 pm and after. Want to know more? Keyword search on "tarifas taxis mayor cartagena 2016" and you'll find a pdf of the published fares from March of this year. The Mayor's office annually publishes the fares for each year. No, I don't take it with me, but I do scan through it once a year to note any increase from the prior year.
Walking. From where you are staying, LDV in el Laguito will be an easy walk as well as Playa Hollywood. If you want to go to LDV, go after 11 pm and before 2 am and give yourself 45 minutes or so to see what girls come and go. For Playa Hollywood, generally in the past the freelancers were more apt to be there from 3 pm to 5 pm. Some streetwalkers can be found strolling along San Martin Av in Bocagrande from Hotel Caribe to Hampton Inn from 6 pm - 10 pm. Your hotel is in very close proximity to the San Martin Av strolling area.
Go to the top floor of the VIP club around 10 pm and grab a table. The unattached girls will be coming in shortly. They'll move down a couple of floors to the electronic music a couple or so hours later. Nothing strike your fancy, go back outside and grab a seat on a bench and scout all the girls walking around. Approach as you so choose. Still nothing? Grab a 7 mil taxi outside wall in front of tower and head to LDV before 2 am. Nothing? Then 7 mil fare back to el Centro to check out Space around 3:30 am.
For Love motels to take these girls to, go look at the list put together by WorldTravel69 on the Cartagena List thread. I typically go to Las Dunas, but I can vouch for the other two that are nearby and in same general vicinity as well.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Since you specifically mentioned daytime / late afternoon action, maybe your schedule dictates that your encounters are strictly limited to a few hours in the afternoon each day. If that's your case, you should befriend someone there on the ground who knows a lot of freelancers. Could be a fellow member who lives in Cartagena or frequents there regularly, or connect with a local. Absent that, go to Playa Hollywood and ask for Fao. Rent a beach chair and tent from Fao. Do not be coaxed into renting from anyone else on this first visit. Just decline, and keep asking for Fao. Tell Fao to get a beer for the two of you and then chat him up snd befriend him. Given that your time is limited and you don't have a contact list of amigas in Cartagena, you'll benefit from befriending Fao, Emily and Jayson and asking them to assist you in your search.
Scratcth their back, they'll scratch yours. What is scratching? Use their services. Fao rents carpas, chairs, etc. And runs a tab for you to have beers / drinks brought directly to you. Emily is the best massage therapist on the beach and also does pedicures and manicures right there for you as you lounge. Jayson hustles and will try to help you find things and get you what you want without you having to leave your beach chair. Are you a guy short on time and whose time is money? If yes, then you won't mind paying for the convenience of having people do the leg work for you and have things brought to you. Relax, have fun and remember to ask how much and negotiate for everything. Be firm, but likeable and in good spirit in your negotiations and don't take offenseI
If you have ample time, or more time than money, then do all your own daytime scouting in the heat and humidiy of Cartagena; don't utter a word to a local guy, don't get a carpa or chair, and just go it solo making eye contact and striking up conversations with chicas as you make your way walking the beach and sidewalks. Be like the guys seen breaking into a trot when a tout approaches them, lol. Beach scene isn't you? Befriend someone who knows the local casas.
To many, the appeal of Cartagena is the influx of freelancers from elsewhere who are in town for a come up and the all night party scene.
[QUOTE=Hilltopper;1910319]Since you specifically mentioned daytime / late afternoon action...[/QUOTE]I second all that!
I add just one more note: if you have the time to go out at night, no matter what time, go to Reloy Tower. That's where all freelancers gather (but not daytime). Even if you have no time to play at night, you can still talk around and take phone numbers of the girls that seem more reliable to you. 6th sense here rules!
Are you busy at night with work colleagues? Go to dinner with them, wait everyone leaves to go sleep, wait 15 more minutes, then go out and grab a taxi to go to the Reloy. There are opportunities until 4 am.
There is one more opportunity which is seldom mentioned: the Club Europa, near Getsemani, which is open 24/24. In the morning or at non-standard times it may be an opportunity to consider.
One of the things to do in Cartagena is a day trip to Islas del Rosario. However, the boat never leave too early and due to rough seas begins return journey soon after 16:00. Also a usual procedure is to pass by and drop merchandise etc. At Playa Blanca. The passengers sit and wait. When one finally arrives, usually at Isla Grande (with different villages, many of them called Isla something as if they were different islands of the archipelago of 27.), the time left over is rather limited.
On my last trip I spoke to people that seemed to have arrived much earlier and they told me they came straight to the island as the trip was organized by their hotel. Forgot the name but I'm sure more than one offers the activity. Now I think it's at least worth asking if one could pay and go with them on this the and thus save time.
So my question is has anyone been on a boat trip organized by a hotel and which hotel was that?
No gracias is good but I prefer "no tengo dinero" then they run away I am serious. It works.
[QUOTE=Phunluv;1909929]Yep, that was my opinion also. CTG is overrated and will never be a major tourist destination because nearby destinations in the Caribbean that are closer to the US have better beaches, weather, and the touts are not a constant harassment. Also, it looks to me the airport is built in an area that makes it difficult to expand, there's not much infrastructure for more flights, most of the tourism is internal.
If you can weather the negative factors (forgive the pun) I suppose it's a good thing for CTG fans that the destination will never reach critical mass. In fact, I suspect that it's precisely the touts especially, but also the weather, prevent a lot of 2nd visits from US citizens and other countries.
While many Colombians might still consider CTG to be the prime tourist attraction of the country, they might be sadly misinformed if they consider it a great choice for a beach or tropical vacation; better to go to Santa Marta or perhaps further up north in the Guajira region (not much for mongers up there though). Colombians with some money can fly to San Andres island I suppose, although there's no monger scene there either. Rich Colombians with passports have the full set of options obviously; Miami and Orlando are the obvious popular choices that most Colombians dream of going to rich or no.
CTG weather can be just awful during certain months of the year; the heat can be stifling even in the nighttime unless you're right by the sea. I took a Bogotana with me to CTG one time and one particularly hot afternoon, I thought this chica was going to suffer a heat stroke! Folks here complain about the heat in Cali, but I find Cali to be much better weather-wise with its famous cooling breezes at night, something you will be surprised is not so often found in CTG. Some nights it was almost impossible to have a romantic stroll through the streets of the old city with your chica because of the stifling heat.
There are certain sectors in Bocagrande where the hustlers are not so bad but in many areas in the old city, it's almost like a gauntlet you have to get through. It's one of the curses of looking like an obvious gringo tourist. I just keep mumbling no gracias with no eye contact, and I never slow down (or speed up!) Any change in direction, pace, or eye contact just gets them to try harder almost by instinct. Wear dark sunglasses and never be distracted by any hawking of wares.[/QUOTE]
Hi all,
Anyone going to be in Cartagena during 10th-14th August to grab a beer and share info!
Looking at doing some tourist stuff also as well as hunting! Get in touch.

Hi,
Does anyone have the working URL for the CTG map. I keep getting the "request access"screen!

Well as most people know my reports suck but if you pm I can usualy give you the answers you want. Spirit flights here were all on time thank God. Last time it was a cluster fuck start to finish. For guys that like to party I had left stuff in same apartment hidden. Nothing starts a trip off better for me then finding my stash! Its like a treasure chest! So flights went great my treasure chest wasnt found by anyone! I got here about 1:30 in afternoon. Put my stuff away and headed to beach. Got a massage 40,000 peso from Luce Marina sister. (forget her name) but she sits with Fao the chair guy good people never any bushit.
Saw fucking Tony and alls he does is curse at me because I don't sit with him. Hes the biggest dick I ever met. I was here a couple months ago and he wasnt at beach 5 days. It was so nice. I really thought he died which would have been fine with me. I don't wish that on him of course but I really thought he died because pedro said he did pedro is is a dick too but no where near tonys league.
I haven't been to clubs because I met a girl last time and she fantastic so I spent first night alone. I was just beat up from travel. Spent last night with her 400,000 tdl. Pricey but well worth it. This girl is a total freak just the way I like them. We are going to a club tonight so I will let you know what I see.
Weather has been good because its breazy.
Went to LDV it was very quiet. I went with girl so it didn't matter to me. But this was first time I didn't see women outnumer men by like 5 to 1. Ones that were there were about 7-8 in looks.

I read the 30 last pages of the thread and found them very informative. I have a few questions:
* Are the beaches, outside of the islands, really shitty and full of sewage or are they safe to swim in? If traveling solo, where can I leave my stuff while I'm in the water? Do I need one of those air-tight bags around my neck to take with me?
* I went on airbnb and got a couple of renters to agree to "over night guests" although I never actually told them I'd be mongering the ever living crap out of that place. If there's no concierge or security then really no one will stop me right? I'm trying to get a sense of how hostile locals are to mongering or if they just ignore it. I've been mostly visiting in Panama where no one really cares if you monger or not. I usually try out two or three girls and then always seem to get one who stays with me. It's always worked out that way.
* To those who also visited Panama, specifically Habanos, do you get the same quality? I tend to like them taller, thicker and bustier. All the videos and photos of Cartagena I've seen so far show a lot of thin short girls. They come in all sizes right? .

But don't expect beautiful white sand like the Bahamas or Cancun, the beaches are just OK, nothing special about them but not shitty.
-Of course I would take all my valuables into the water with me if I was alone.
-you will find all kinds of girls in Cartagena, white to black and all shades in between as well as cute little spinners and bustier girls too, you just have to look.
-most guys have very little interaction with hostile locals due to mongering. What exactly do you mean by "mongering the ever living crap out of the place"? If that means you are taking your 2-3 girls to the pool and then doing body shots off their tits in front of a Colombian family on vacation from Bogota then yes you will have a problem. But if you are just entering / exiting your apartment with a girl in tow there should be zero problem.

If a place does not have concierge or security, I would be very wary of the place. That said, most places do have security. I would not recommend telling the host that you are there to monger! Most do not like it. A majority of the apartment buildings (not hotels) are chica friendly, however, you have to be careful of the buildings that require you to wear a wristband. They are not chica friendly.
I have been to Habanos, I would say similar quality.
[QUOTE=Hioctane;1921548]Just to add to what soldier said. If a place does not have concierge or security, I would be very wary of the place.[/QUOTE]This is because almost every building has security at the door in Cartagena and those who don't suffer from breakins?
Every person I've asked so far on airbnb, who have nice apartments in front of the beach and are close to the old city have told me I could have guests over night. All these apartments have doormen.
Guys I know I'm over thinking this but these places have a "strict" cancellation policies; so I'm out in the old city drinking and I find a hottie. When I bring her back I just nod and walk past reception at the building? Is that how it usually works out?
In Panama it was simpler for me because I picked the chica friendly hotels for the first few days and then just registered the girl I'm with in whatever hotel I finished my stay at. I usually end up sticking to one girl for the whole trip after sampling a few.

To avoid problems with bringing a girl back to the Intercontinental, I signed up for a place on airbnb pretty close by in El Laguito. I'll be looking to find a girl at LDV and bring HR back there.

With respect to the girls at LDV (or for any of the freelancers) - is it all about negotiation? Reading previous posts, sounds like 200 K for an hour is a reasonable target?
Do you have to explicitly discuss with them exactly what they will and won't do with you? If so, I might be in trouble given that my espanol is not as good as it should be.

You need to buy drinks, although there's no exit fee per se.[/QUOTE]This is really interesting. One of the ways I'd gauge if a girl in Habanos was going to pull a rush job is to invite her for a couple of drinks first. This worked surprisingly well because there is no such rule in Habanos. You could literally walk in, grab a girl and walk out.
I'll need to come up with a newer litmus test.
Thanks!
1st post. What a view.
Visiting Cartagena in late September. Any help / comments / advice greatly appreciated.
Going through the posts now, have read through the first half of 2015 so far. Will reach out if I have any questions. Thank you all for sharing such useful info.
Stay safe.
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1716083]Did I post this before?[/QUOTE]
Hello,
I just returned from the trip and the only 2 things I used was.
Seeking arrangement website.
Tinder app. Free.
Tinder I was able to free get a number and she came right from the beach or lived near by. Not sure if we are able to post phone number for the girls. All the pics are from Tinder or Seeking arrangement.
I had great results from both of them. If I wanted someone to come right over range age was from 18 to 33 Tinder app was the perfect. Seeking arrangement was more long term from the girls and 1 was a free for several days the other was 2 days for $200 USA.
On Tinder girls range was from 100,000 pesos to whatever but you are still able to negotiate.
1 girl wanted $200 USA for 3 hours and we worked out a deal 200,000 pesos for 1 hour -BBBJ and covered for sex and anal.
Now what's on the menu is different story.
BBBJ only a few will do.
The rest is covered and including anal.
[QUOTE=Butch145;1927243]
BBBJ only a few will do.
[/QUOTE]Sometimes a small detail tells a lot. I met very few girls in CTG insisting for covered BJ.
In addition, you seem happy that the girl comes directly from the beach to your place, so where's the fun to go to the beach, sit down and look around? Not to mention clubbing?
I am not blaming, just remarking the difference of philosophy and attitude: someone prefers online shopping of food and groceries with home delivery, someone else prefers to go to the farmers' market, taste, touch, smell and choose the best fruits.
OK. Filing my report as promised. Thanks to all for the help and suggestions.
A very short (one day first trip) to Cartagena. Due to work-related obligations, I was committed to staying at the Intercontinental in Bocagrande. Since the thought was this was not a "chica-friendly" place, I'd already also booked an apartment in El Laguito va airbnb ($48 + $6 for second guest + $5 check-in fee) near LDV. With regards to the Intercontinental, another guest (female) reported to me that they signed a document indicating that "no prostitution" would occur in their room. I was fascinated by this. Never saw that asked before. I don't remember noticing or being asked when I signed for my room. Regardless, I found not one really checking or bothering anyone walking to the elevators to go their room. Although, the Intercontinental may be "not chica friendly", I think if you walked in confidently (either with a girl or even the girl coming separately, but dressed appropriately), I doubt you would have any trouble.
In any event, I had other guests I knew at the hotel, so having the apartment for mongering was definitely the right call.
I did not think to try tinder, so during the day I tried walking along Playa Hollywood to see if might find one of the beach handlers to point me in the right direction to find freelancers. No luck. I decided to suspend efforts until the evening. After dinner in el centro, I headed to LDV just a little after 10 PM (Thursday night). The place was DEAD - 4 guys in side having beers, and no girls. I realize this place doesn't get going until after 11 PM, but was surprised to see zero girls. In any event outside LDV, there were 4 girls. One of them, Andrea, was pretty cute (8/10 for what this subjective scale is worth) with huge natural tits. She smiled at me and I waved her over. She didn't speak any English and decide my reservations about my Spanish, I rose to the occasion in a moment of need! She was from Medellin but had been in Cartagena for a while. She asked if I wanted her, to which I said, absolutely. She asked me to propose a price, but I asked her to do so instead. She suggested $150 USD to which I said way too high. I countered at 200 K pesos, she asked for 350 K and when I declined, accepted 200 K. I think she was gone for less, but I have never been a good negotiator.
My place in El Laguito was just around the corner so we walked over together. I was expecting the guard at the desk to ask her to sign in and charge me another $5 check in fee, but we met no resistance. Once in my place, Andrea and I got down to business. She did not ask for the money to begin with. She was very nice in fact. Gave a phenomenal BJ (deep throat) -- we did it with the cover at my request, but it was clear BBBJ was on the menu. She was so good, I confirmed with her that I could have a second round (I didn't want to be in agony and try to prolong things in fear of no round 2) - I felt stupid for not having negotiated this in advance, because here was a good opportunity for her to up-charge. However, she said it was fine. So round 1 ended with the CBJ. After some chit-chat, round 2 started the same way (she is super) and finished with her on top.
I had a very nice time. I am not into plastic / artificial girls, and she was real with a nice figure but real natural tits and sensitive nipples. I was happy enough that I decided to give her an additional 20 K pesos tip.
From an overall value perspective, clearly not great for Colombia (I spent far less for a lot more in Bogota), but I was satisfied. Felt a lot safer in Cartagena compared with Bogota.

[QUOTE=YippieKayay;1926355]Is La Dolce Vita essentially like Habanos in Panama City? You sit at a table drinking beers and girls try to get your attention? Do you need to pay an exit fee for them?
If not, is there a setup like Habanos in Cartagena?[/QUOTE]Habanos is way better. As you know the girls in Habanos are not lazy. You can stand near the bar like me and let most of them grab your balls when they walk by. In LDV you don't need to pay a bar fine or anything. I haven't been there in a couple years. I don't go in there when I go to Cartagena anymore. The girls ask for too much, and so many of them ask for you to buy them a damn drink. My long time lady friend that I met there, has stopped working there for a long time now. When she wants to work in Cartagena she only uses Tinder. She is a very good looking girl and can get a high price. Me and her are pretty good friends now. I only ask her if she wants to go somewhere with me when I feel like it and she will travel with me. I just pay for the trip and nothing else.
If you want more freelancers go near the Hard Rock cafe around sunset. You will see ladies all over the place near the big clock tower and some of the bars near there. I actually like the bar with lots of freelancers called Tu Candela. It is very close to the Hard Rock cafe. I like Tu Candela way better than LDV.
Use Google maps, find the Hard Rock cafe on Google maps, then use streetview. Someone from Google walked around with their 360 cameras. They walk right in front of Tu Candela. When not looking to bang chicas it's pretty cool to walk around the old city. I'd rather stay in the old city, than to pretend like Cartagena has a nice beach or something. Except, most places inside the walled city are very old, and things tend to not work so well. I've used Airbnb inside the walled city twice. No problem with ladies coming to the room. If you use Aribnb, try to rent from an American or foreigner. They almost will never care about, or ask, or find out if you bring a woman to their property.

Other reports mentioned 9 pm onwards. Does the action start earlier?
In Panama City, you could start seeing girls at Habanos as early as 7:30 pm.
I am glad you have had Luck with Jason. But he in my opinion is terrible. I have known him for 10 plus years and he is just a total bum. But that's just my opinion. It's always tough when you haven't been there many times. I avoid all those guys. Most of them way over charge and are just a Pain in the ass.
Jason, Tony and the guy with rotten teeth that's always hangs around Tony, can't believe I can't think of his name are all bums. When I think of his name I will post it.

This post is an overview of the Cartagena (CTG) leg of my first trip to Colombia; I spent a week in CTG in early September 2016. Please see my previous posts, in which I provided an overview of my trip, compared my experiences in Medellin (MDE) and CTG, and described my first week in MDE. I will break my CTG reporting up into thematic installments, as my experiences there covered a wider range of chicas and venues than my time in MDE, where the Mansion was the focus of my mongering.
I chose to visit CTG after MDE because my pre-trip research indicated that the MDE mongering scene would be more rewarding than that of CTG and I planned to do more non-mongering things in CTG. I mongered less in CTG because my manhood and leche needed time to recover from my overindulgence at the Mansion and because the CTG mongering scene yielded less favorable results than that of MDE. I had lower expectations for CTG mongering, based on my pre-trip research, but my actual experiences there were even less fruitful than I expected, so I mongered even less than I had originally planned.
I rented an apartment, per standard CTG mongering procedure. I nonetheless stayed in the Old City, rather than Bocagrande or El Laguito, for a combination of mongering and non-mongering reasons. My pre-trip research suggested that the only major advantage of Bocagrande and El Laguito (for me) would have been proximity to two of CTG's primary mongering venues: La Dolce Vita (LDV) and Playa Hollywood. My pre-trip research did not persuade me that those two venues were appealing enough to drive the location of my rental (and my actual experiences at both venues were even worse than I had anticipated). I was aware that Juan Ventura's chica-friendly apartment rentals in El Laguito might have yielded better value for the money, in terms of the apartment itself, but the three most important things in real estate are location, location, and location. As a resident of Lower Manhattan, I am used to paying a lot more money for a rental in the right location and had no problem doing so in CTG either.
The Old City struck me as a more appealing location not only for its historic character and atmosphere but also due to its greater proximity to other mongering venues that sounded more appealing to me, such as the Clock Tower area and Isis. This choice of location ultimately served me well from a logistical perspective, as did the rental itself. I rented an apartment that I found through non-mongering websites after I determined that I would not have any problems bringing chicas there. The apartment satisfied me and fulfilled my needs well enough; I would stay there again if I were to return to CTG.
In general, I found CTG chicas less attractive than their MDE counterparts. Many of the CTG chicas that I found the most attractive were from MDE. The exception to this generally lower level of attractiveness was in the two CTG strip clubs, Isis and Pleyclub, which may have been because Colombian strip clubs may tend to hire chicas that are a better fit for my body type preferences. I would say that the hottest CTG chicas were at the strip clubs, followed by LDV and then the Clock Tower.
What disappointed me most about CTG chicas was not their appearance but their attitude. The "meet & greet" aspect of Latin American mongering, which enables you to get to know a chica, figure out if there is chemistry, and build pre-session rapport, is a key aspect of what I enjoy about it. CTG was much weaker in this regard, as the chicas there tended to get right down to business and pop the question before I was ready to decide. This tendency encourages you to either walk away or pull the trigger prematurely. When I tried to slow them down, they frequently resisted or gave me an attitude, as if I was wasting their time. This tendency to rush was also evident in some actual sessions and was probably why some of the chicas that I pulled performed so poorly.
The quality of my CTG mongering experiences ranged from fantastic to terrible. I used the word "experiences" rather than "sessions" because I had to abort three sessions with CTG chicas due to payment issues, so I cannot comment on the quality of their service (if they actually intended to provide any service at all). All but one of the independent chicas that I brought to my apartment asked for payment up front, which I always refused, explaining that I would pay them when we were done. Their reactions to my stance ranged from immediate acceptance without further discussion to a threat to call the police. Payment issues loomed so large over my CTG trip that I will devote a separate post to it.
I shopped around a lot in the week that I was there – perhaps more than I should have, because my subsequent shopping did not yield any chicas that were better than the four gems that I pulled in my first nights there. In retrospect, perhaps I should have "wifed up" with one or more of those four gems for the remainder of my trip instead of continuing to shop around. I did a TLN with one of those four gems on my last full night in CTG and a 1-hour repeat with another one of them (which, in retrospect, I wish had been a TLN as well). I would have repeated with another one of those four gems, but she returned to Venezuela in the middle of my trip; I have been kicking myself ever since for not extending our 1-hour session into a TLN. My recommendation is that when you find good chicas in CTG, stick with them instead of continuing to shop around, because CTG has a high proportion of malicious chicas and poor performers.
Finding the right chicas in CTG consumed a lot more of my time, energy, patience, and money (that is, the logistical costs of searching for them, not just their higher session rates) than in MDE. Many of the key mongering venues in CTG do not get busy until late at night, which can be an obstacle if you are not a night person or you have to wake up early in the morning (as I did for my scuba diving). The most cost-effective venue, which yielded the most consistently favorable results for me, was Tinder, which also enabled me to schedule sessions at earlier hours that suited my schedule better.
200 K COP appeared to be a typical hourly rate at which independent CTG chicas start negotiations, as I heard that figure far more frequently than any other. I found that when a chica asked for more than 200 K, it was usually for one of two reasons. The first reason was that she was unusually hot (or thought that she was unusually hot). The second reason was that all but one of them that was willing to provide BBBJ asked for an additional "surcharge" for it; only one chica did not ask for a BBBJ "surcharge," and she was one of the best performers that I found in CTG. The BBBJ "surcharges" ranged from 30 K to 70 K COP. The high end of the typical hourly rate range was 280-300 K COP.
Only one chica made a serious quote for a higher hourly rate – 400 K COP. I told her that her quote was unusually high, even for CTG, to which she responded by acknowledging that her target rate was significantly above-market because she was so much more beautiful than the other chicas (I immediately walked away). Another chica tried to pull the "I meant dollars, not pesos" scam on me by trying to turn our previously agreed 200 K COP rate into $200 USD, which I thwarted (I will report that incident separately). Only one other chica asked for payment in USD instead of COP (at the more reasonable rate to which we had agreed beforehand); she indicated that she preferred USD because USD would be more valuable for her to bring back to Venezuela (this chica was top-notch, by the way).
I sampled a wide array of CTG mongering options – in fact, almost all of the major venues and chica types except casas, the business model of which may not be the best fit for my mongering preferences, as I discovered in MDE. I had my best results with Venezuelans and Tinder users. I had my worst results with Playa Hollywood and LDV. I will elaborate on my experiences at these different venues and with different chica types in separate posts.
The two best independent chicas that I pulled in my week-long stay in Cartagena (CTG) were both Venezuelans. They indicated that they had come to CTG due to the dire economic conditions in Venezuela, so they must have been part of the broader wave of Venezuelan chicas that have been fanning out across the Caribbean in search of a better life. I believe that the superior experiences that I had with them could reflect a trend that I also observed with Nicaraguans in Costa Rica and Haitians in the Dominican Republic: chicas from poorer neighboring countries often provide better experiences, as they may be hungrier (perhaps literally, in the case of Venezuela) for work and more eager to please.
One of these two Venezuelan chicas was my first successful CTG pull. She introduced herself to me as Shaina in person, but her Tinder profile (which I found later by chance) identified her as Maria, age 26. She is black and somewhat on the taller side, slender and athletic, but with enough flesh in the right places to please a tits & ass man like me, juicy lips, and straight hair. She displayed a simply elegant beauty that immediately caught my eye late on a Saturday night / Sunday morning at Space, when she wore a white dress and bore a soothing smile. We immediately clicked and agreed to a 1-hour session at my nearby Old City apartment. She asked that I pay her in USD, rather than COP, as she indicated that USD would be more valuable for her to bring back to Venezuela. I would also add that she was the ONLY independent chica that I pulled in CTG who did not at least try to get paid up front.
Maria / Shaina wanted a higher rate for BBBJ, which I found was typical of those chicas in CTG who are willing to provide BBBJ (a slight majority stick to CBJ). This higher rate turned out to be a good investment, as she gave me one of the best blowjobs that I have had in a long time – worthy of a porn star. The full-service was also high-quality, particularly when she rode me on top with her legs parallel to mine, not around my waist or thighs– a great position for her. The feel of her soft, silky flesh against mine was delightful, both before and after the main event, when she cuddled with me – good GFE and a very nice girl in general. I did another 1-hour session with her later that week, when I ran into her by chance at the Clock Tower and did not see any other viable prospects. She performed equally well this time around – which is significant, as I have found that many chicas become complacent during repeat sessions and do not perform as well as they did the first time. In retrospect, I wish that I had extended this second session into a TLN, but I do try to keep the number of my TLNs in check and I had to wake up early for scuba diving the next morning. She does two-girl sessions with her friend Barbara, 27, who is also Venezuelan, black, and a Tinder user but thicker and more curvaceous, with wavier hair.
My second Venezuelan chica was my first CTG pull from Tinder: Mailin, 32. Her profile photos impressed me enough that I sent her a "Super Like. " She is tall and thick with serious tits & ass (the former turned out to be silicone, but of high quality), a long, full, and curly blonde mane that extends down to her big booty, exotic facial features, and juicy lips. She liked me back and sent me her phone number for further communication via WhatsApp. She asked for a reasonable rate and offered BBBJ at no extra charge (the only chica in that I pulled in CTG who did so). I made an early evening appointment, for which she arrived two minutes early– a punctual chica! She greeted me with a kiss and told me that I looked better than my Tinder profile pictures. She did ask if I could pay her up front, but I explained that I would pay her at the end of the session, which she immediately accepted without further discussion, and she did not even ask for a tip or taxi money when I did pay her at the end.
Her DFK and BBBJ were good, but her full service was out of this world. Hitting that big booty from the back was fantastic, and the view from behind was ever better with that long blonde mane of hers. She later rode me like a wild animal, demonstrating the strength of her lower body musculature and mixing it up between rough and gentle. The highlight was when she spun around from CG to RCG without pulling me out– I have never had such a thick woman execute that maneuver so smoothly. She gave me a good BBBJ finish. I ran into her the next night at the Clock Tower with Paola, 37, a paisa MILF friend of hers with whom I had also been corresponding via Tinder. I ended up pulling Paola that night and will report that session separately. In retrospect, I wish I had repeated with Mailin, as Paola was just OK. Mailin hit me up for a repeat or a two-girl session with Paola the next evening, but we did not have enough time between the end of my scuba diving and Mailin's flight back to Venezuela that night. In retrospect, I wish that I had extended my initial session with Mailin into a TLN on the spot.
I found two other Venezuelans in CTG that I did not pull. One was at the Clock Tower on my first night in town (a Saturday). Her name escapes me, but she was younger (early 20's), short, and thick with large and natural-looking tits & ass, shoulder-length brown hair, and a cute face. I passed when she insisted on CBJ at an hourly rate (300 K COP) that I felt was too high for that level of service; she was really hot, though. Another was Eleguasita, a thick blonde Tinder user in her 30's with big tits & ass. She offered a more reasonable rate, but I broke off contact with her because she had an online conniption when I asked her if she offered BBBJ (she did not).
Has anyone else encountered Venezuelan chicas in CTG, and were your results consistent with mine?
Thanks again for these fine and informative reports.

I know her as Shaina. Why do you think that on Tinder she would put her real name? Maybe the opposite.
She is a good girl indeed. I am still exchanging some messages on Whatshapp.
Don't know much at all about this service, but the photos are really impressive. I bit more than normal prices ($120-$130 an hour), but if the quality is what they advertise would be worth it for an agency. Will let everyone knows how it goes.
Probably staying with some other friends at Poseidon. Never been, but looks nice and great location. Hope it's chica friendly!

I myself have not partaken, but I am way past needing help from an agency.
Hope that helps.
As a virtual mongering venue, Tinder yielded more consistently favorable results for me than any of the traditional physical venues during my week in Cartagena (CTG). None of these Tinder pulls were bad, and all of them were at least satisfactory. One of my four Tinder pulls yielded one of the best sessions that I had there; please see my post on Venezuelan chicas in CTG for more details on Mailin, 32.
The other Venezuelan chica in that post (Maria, 26) is also available on Tinder, although I pulled her from a physical venue (Space). Indeed, three of the four chicas that I met through Tinder also operate in the traditional physical venues; the fourth (Dane, 21) claimed that she only operated online. In fact, my actual session with one of these four Tinder chicas (Paola, 37) did not occur until I encountered her by chance at the Clock Tower – with Mailin, who, as luck would have it, is friends with Paola. I also encountered another one of my Tinder pulls (Carito, 29) at the Clock Tower on several occasions.
I am curious as to whether or not other CTG mongers have had similar results with Tinder and why it yielded more consistently favorable results for me than the physical venues, since many of the same chicas evidently operate in the physical venues too. I was hesitant to resort to the Internet as a source of chicas on a Latin American mongering trip because the "meet & greet" aspect of it was so important to me. I figured that I could find hookers on the Internet back home; it did not make sense to travel all the way to Colombia to do that in a country where you can instead meet them in person before you decide to pull the trigger in order to determine whether or not there is chemistry and built pre-session rapport.
I only resorted to Tinder in CTG because the physical venues started later at night than I would have preferred and were not working as well for me as I had hoped. I spent a lot of time talking to chicas in person without finding a suitable match or, even worse, finding what I thought was a suitable match, only to have it crash and burn when I brought them back to my apartment. I did better with chicas that just showed up at my apartment after some relatively brief and basic exchanges on Tinder. My relative success with Tinder in CTG makes me wish in retrospect that I had pulled chicas directly from Facebook when I was at the Mansion in Medellin (MDE).
Three of these Tinder-using chicas (Paola, Carito, and Dane) are from MDE. I am curious as to whether or not this pattern reflects either my personal taste for the paisa look, a higher Tinder adoption rate for paisa chicas in CTG, or the mere prevalence of paisa chicas in CTG in general.
Two of these paisa chicas are clearly in the MILF age bracket, and the Venezuelan Mailin, at 32, probably qualifies as a MILF too. I am more open to MILFs than most other Latin America mongers, but I do not have a preference for them per se, so the fact that three of my four CTG Tinder pulls were in their 30's has nothing to do with my own preferences. I find this point rather ironic, since it is often the younger people that adopt technology more wholeheartedly. Indeed, it was my youngest Tinder pull (Dane, 21) who indicated that she only operated online and not in physical venues.
Distinguishing the chicas from the general female population of CTG on Tinder is not difficult, but some are easier to spot than others. Some of them explicitly identify themselves in their profiles as a "dama de compañia," or even as an "escort" or "scort" (in English). Others have content in their profiles that identifies them as working girls less explicitly, e. G. Subtler wording or a combination of sexually-themed and financially-themed emojis. Some of them will not come out as chicas at all until you have matched with them and begin exchanging private messages with them. Aside from verbal cues, you can usually (but not always) distinguish the chicas from their profile photos; they are hotter than the general female population and have more provocative and revealing photos. Spotting the chicas is not an exact science, however, and on a few occasions I mistook a normal female user for a working girl (there were more non-P4P female Tinder users in CTG during my trip than I expected). If her intentions are not clear, the best way to clear them up is to ask her what she is seeking on Tinder. If she is a working girl, she will usually respond to that question by self-identifying as such.
Below are details on the other three chicas that I met through Tinder.
Paola, 37, a MILF from MDE: Kudos to her for being honest about her age on her Tinder profile; I would have guessed that she was much younger. She is tall and has that typical paisa look, decent breast implants, a nice booty, and a classier vibe that most other chicas. She is quiet and may seem shy. We had been messaging back and forth but did not get around to setting up a date and a time until I ran into her by chance at the Clock Tower with her friend Mailin, 32, my first Tinder pull from the night before. Since Paola was there, I decided to bring her back to my nearby apartment for the session that we had been planning. Just like Mailin, she asked for the money up front, to which I responded by telling her that I would pay her after the session; she accepted that answer without further discussion. The session was OK; she gave a good BBBJ, and I was pleasantly surprised that her pussy made me leche in the cover, which had become difficult for me after a week and a half of non-stop sex. She followed up with some good post-leche GFE cuddling. In retrospect, though, if I had to do it over again, I would have repeated with Mailin instead, who was hotter and more intense in the sack.
Carito, 29, another MDE MILF: She goes by the name Paulina at the Clock Tower. She is blonde and whiter than me and was probably not honest about her age on her Tinder profile. She has a most impressive booty and nice tits (I was uncertain as to whether or not they are real). We set up a date and a time, for which she was half an hour late, although she updated me on her progress via WhatsApp. It emerged in these WhatsApp exchanges during her taxi ride that she speaks English, of which she had given no indication in our previous communication on Tinder (another chica did the same thing face-to-face, which I will report in a separate post). When she arrived, she asked for payment up front, which I refused; I suggested as an alternative that I place the money in plain sight and that she could take it after the session, which she accepted. The quality of her service was great and made the initial hiccups worthwhile; she gave high-quality BBBJ, rode me like a raging cowgirl, and stuck around for some good post-leche GFE cuddling. Her booty made that oh-so-satisfying clapping sound as it smacked against me. If she was not genuinely getting into it, she certainly persuaded me that she was. She was both flirtatious and humorous and sent me naked pictures of herself later. She was overall a good choice, despite the issues with her lateness, understating her age, and trying to get paid up front.
Dane, 21, also from MDE: She has the typical paisa look and is petite and slender, but fleshy enough in the right places to please a tits & ass man like me, with thick blowjob lips. She was about 10-15 minutes late. She started giving me some of the best BBBJ that I received in CTG when, out of the blue, she asked for the money; I told her that I would pay her after my leche, which she accepted, albeit reluctantly and with some protest. She resumed the top-notch BBBJ with gusto before proceeding to almost equally high-quality full service, until I finally lost it. I paid her shortly thereafter, fully expecting her to take off immediately, which I would not have minded, as my manhood was worn out after two weeks in Colombia and I had to start getting ready to fly home later that night anyway. Much to my surprise, she stuck around for some post-leche GFE cuddling and even some DATY; she sat on my face and fed me her tasty pussy juice. In fact, I later had to kick her out because I needed to get ready for my flight. She did not ask for a tip or even cab fare; she just asked that I keep her contact information for future visits to CTG. All in all, Dane was a good choice, except for having the chutzpah to interrupt a great blowjob by asking for the money up front; that was some serious brinksmanship.
[QUOTE=DaveCarrera;1941396]Don't know much at all about this service, but the photos are really impressive. I bit more than normal prices ($120-$130 an hour), but if the quality is what they advertise would be worth it for an agency. Will let everyone knows how it goes.
Probably staying with some other friends at Poseidon. Never been, but looks nice and great location. Hope it's chica friendly![/QUOTE]I would be curious of the prices of the apartments. It looks like one of the buildings is Mirador del Laquito and I usually pay 220,000 pesos for a two bedroom. Also, some of the girls can be found at the beach for 150 K during the day. I know one for sure.
I will look for your report. Have fun.
I visited the two main strip clubs in Cartagena (CTG), Isis and Pleyclub, during my week there in early September 2016. They have the same ownership and business model, but my experiences at the two clubs differed significantly; I am uncertain as to whether or not that difference was the luck of the draw, an indication of differences between the two venues, my own fault, or a combination of the above. My experiences in CTG nonetheless overcame my previous resistance to mongering at Latin American strip clubs and made me regret in retrospect that I did not go to any strip clubs during the first week of my trip in Medellin (MDE). I will make strip clubs a higher priority during my next trip to MDE.
I had previously been reluctant to monger at strip clubs due to concerns about clip joints, bill padding, and hustles and minimums for overpriced drinks, especially since I abstain from alcohol while mongering. I would have had no objection in principle to the higher rates for the actual sessions at strip clubs if those higher rates yielded a higher quality of service, but what I had heard about the level of service in some of these establishments did not inspire my confidence in that regard.
I had a rough first night (a Saturday) with some of the independent chicas in CTG due to payment issues that forced me to abort two sessions in a row (I will report those incidents in a separate post). Given that baptism by fire and the realization that Sunday night would probably be slow for independent chicas anyway, I decided to try my luck at Isis instead, which had the additional advantages of an early opening time (9 PM) and a location just a few blocks away from my Old City apartment. Isis is also just a few blocks away from the Clock Tower, so it is worth swinging by there for an hour or two before the Clock Tower gets busy at around 11 PM. The other advantage of Isis over the Clock Tower is that you can sit and watch and talk to the strippers in a comfortable, air-conditioned environment at a leisurely pace, rather than standing in the sweltering heat and horse manure smell of the Clock Tower and trying to negotiate a good pull in a 2-5 minute conversation.
Another, more important advantage of Isis was the line-up; in my opinion, the only hotter girls in CTG were at Pleyclub. With that said, my taste in women differs from that of most other gringo mongers; I have a strong preference for the tall & thick, tits & ass type that made me want to come to Colombia in the first place. It appears in retrospect that Colombian strip clubs in general tend hire those kinds of girls. The line-up at Isis (and Pleyclub) had a much higher proportion of such girls, which impressed me right off the bat. The downside of Isis (and perhaps Pleyclub operates in the same way) is that they seemed to have the same line-up of girls throughout the week; I went there four times and saw mostly the same girls. Both girls that I pulled at Isis told me that they have to work seven nights a week.
The other problem with Isis (and Pleyclub, which operates in the same way) is that there was not much actual stripping. Some of the girls explained to me that the girls do not get on stage until the club has enough of a critical mass of customers, which may not happen until 11 PM or later. Even then, only one girl dances at a time, and there is often a lot of downtime between performances. At most, you will see three to five girls dance within an hour. This point is critical for me because, in my opinion, the whole point of a strip club is the opportunity to see on stage what a girl has to offer, both in terms of her naked body and her ability to use it effectively, before you decide to pull her. Otherwise, a strip club is just an expensive nighttime casa where you can talk to the girls before you pick them. This guideline served me well at Isis and yielded two great pulls; when I forsook this guideline at Pleyclub, I ended up regretting it, although there may have been other problems with my selection anyway. In retrospect, I am also kicking myself for not "test driving" strippers with lap dances when there were not enough girls on stage, or when none of the girls on stage appealed to me.
My main concern about strip clubs – drink hustles and minimums and general pressure to buy alcohol – turned out to be a non-issue at both establishments. There was no cover charge. The only requirement at both establishments (they have the same policies and even the same menus) was that your first purchase be 14 K COP or more; I went with Red Bull (22 K COP), which had the added advantage of giving me the energy that I would need for my sessions. After that, I just bought bottles of water (6 K COP) to rehydrate my leche supply. In a total of five visits to both establishments, no girl asked me to buy her a single drink, so if there is a hustle for drinks, I somehow miraculously avoided it.
My first pull on my first visit to Isis was Julieta, a tall, thick brunette with some serious curves (definitely some silicone, but of good quality). She caught my eye shortly after I sat down; she usually wears form-fitting jeans and an equally form-fitting, cleavage-revealing white top. Her subsequent performance on stage immediately sold me, as both her body and her ability to work it impressed me. She got dressed again and returned to the main room, where I smiled at her and made eye contact with her. She reciprocated and immediately came over for a brief chat; it was not long before she offered me a 1-hour session, to which I agreed. The hourly rate at Isis is 260 K COP, plus the modest cost of a room at a short-time hotel just down the street (they do not have their own on-site rooms for such sessions). Pleyclub also charges 260 K COP for a full-service session, but for only 40-45 minutes in an on-site room. I believe that the additional cost (compared to the independent chicas in the Clock Tower or elsewhere) is worthwhile, given their greater hotness and the lower risk of stripper malfeasance.
Basing my selection on a stripper's on-stage performance turned out to be a wise strategy, as Julieta totally banged my brains out in every position that I could imagine, and in a few that I could not imagine. She was not just a solid performer, she also inspired me to step my game up as well. If she was not genuinely enjoying herself, she certainly persuaded me otherwise. It was a good thing that the short-time hotel was just down the street from my apartment, because I could hardly walk after we were done. The Red Bull that I had to buy earlier that night turned out to be a good investment.
Needless to say, this experience persuaded me to return to Isis the next night. There was another stripper there who had also caught my eye the night before: Yessica, whose large natural tits & ass protruded from the elegant, form-fitting white dress that she usually wears. She had beautiful Incan facial features that I had seen more frequently in Peruvians. We exchanged smiles from across the room that first night, and at one point she came and sat at the table next to mine (Colombian women's way of trying to get a guy to talk to them without approaching him directly; she is shy, quiet, and soft-spoken). I did not pull her that night because I had not seen her on stage yet. Fortunately, she was one of the first three or four girls to take the stage that second night, and her performance immediately persuaded me to choose her. I got her attention after she had gotten dressed and returned to the main room, and she came over for a brief conversation and proposed a 1 hour session. Just when I thought that things were going perfectly, she explained that she only offered CBJ and ruled out BBBJ categorically. CBJ is normally a deal-breaker for me, but in this case, her demonstrated ability to use her lower body to great effect persuaded me that I would probably be more interested in her other primary orifice anyway.
Once gain, my selection of a stripper based on her on-stage performance turned out to be a wise strategy, and my decision to make an exception to my BBBJ-only policy yielded positive results too. This girl could probably use her booty and pussy to turn a lump of coal into a diamond, and she eventually managed to use her powerful pussy muscles to milk a leche out of me in the cover, which is often difficult after mongering in a place like Colombia for more than week. She was also probably the most GFE-intensive of all the girls that I met in CTG, which was decisive in persuading me to pull her again for a TLN on my last full night in town. The TLN was not cheap (620 K COP) but was worth every peso. In addition to her top-notch body and full service, she is a total and genuine sweetheart.
My success at Isis thus far persuaded me to return for the third night in a row, although by this point I had probably gotten as much out of the line-up as I was going to get. A few girls that had impressed me on stage on previous nights were busy drinking with other customers, and the girls that I saw on stage for the first time that night did not impress me. I tried approaching a few other girls out of the blue but sensed some attitude that prompted me to abort.
Having exhausted the line-up at Isis, I decided to venture out to Pleyclub later that week. It is a longer cab drive from Centro, and the first cab driver I asked did not know where it was. I knew that it was in a bad neighborhood (especially at night), but that knowledge did not prepare me for the sight of a presumable homicide scene on the cab ride out there. The cab stopped at an intersection, where a dead body with a bloody head wound lay on the pavement, just next to the sidewalk. A police car was nearby, as were some police officers and other random people. I had not seen a dead body, let alone that of a victim of violence, since I was in Iraq years ago, so this sight admittedly caused me some anxiety, which may have thrown me off my game once I got to Pleyclub.
Pleyclub definitely had the hottest girls in CTG, just a notch above Isis, but I found the atmosphere less friendly and welcoming than that of Isis. It took a long time for the girls to get on stage, and the girls that eventually went on stage were not to my taste physically, nor did they impress me with their on-stage performances. For whatever reason that I cannot fathom, in a club full of voluptuous, statuesque beauties, they chose only the smallest, scrawniest girls to go on stage, and these girls did not demonstrate any significant physical talents.
I got tired of waiting for the on-stage talent to impress me and instead approached a thick paisa with a cute face and a big booty that had been making eyes at me from across the room, whose name I cannot recall. This choice was where I made two mistakes at once: picking a stripper than I had not seen on stage and pulling a girl that made the first move (although I might have approached her otherwise). We agreed to a full-service session after a brief conversation. It started out well enough, as I enjoyed hitting that big booty from the back, but it went downhill once she realized that she might have to do some actual work in other positions. I had also asked her specifically if she offered BBBJ before agreeing to a session; she said that she offered BBBJ but hardly did any sucking at all during the session and demonstrated an attitude when I brought it up or asked her to do something other than get on all fours or spread her legs. I just barely got my leche, and it did not help that she kept reminding me that we only had 40-45 minutes to finish.
[QUOTE=GringoItaliano;1941560]As a virtual mongering venue, Tinder yielded more consistently favorable results for me than any of the traditional physical venues during my week in Cartagena (CTG). None of these Tinder pulls were bad, and all of them were at least satisfactory. One of my four Tinder pulls yielded one of the best sessions that I had there; please see my post on Venezuelan chicas in CTG for more details on Mailin, 32.
The other Venezuelan chica in that post (Maria, 26) is also available on Tinder, although I pulled her from a physical venue (Space). Indeed, three of the four chicas that I met through Tinder also operate in the traditional physical venues; the fourth (Dane, 21) claimed that she only operated online. In fact, my actual session with one of these four Tinder chicas (Paola, 37) did not occur until I encountered her by chance at the Clock Tower with Mailin, who, as luck would have it, is friends with Paola. I also encountered another one of my Tinder pulls (Carito, 29) at the Clock Tower on several occasions.
I am curious as to whether or not other CTG mongers have had similar results with Tinder and why it yielded more consistently favorable results for me than the physical venues, since many of the same chicas evidently operate in the physical venues too. I was hesitant to resort to the Internet as a source of chicas on a Latin American mongering trip because the "meet & greet" aspect of it was so important to me. I figured that I could find hookers on the Internet back home; it did not make sense to travel all the way to Colombia to do that in a country where you can instead meet them in person before you decide to pull the trigger in order to determine whether or not there is chemistry and built pre-session rapport..[/QUOTE]Done your same itinerary 20 days ago from Medellin to Cartagena, I agree to all you wrote for Medellin and even Cartagena, in Medellin was simple to hang out in park Lleira night time, and in Cartagena I agree about tinder as well.
WARNING: I stayed at the Poseidon (which was great accommodations wise) But was horrific trying to get girls in there. 3 Months ago I was there. I asked the property manager of the apartment if it was OK to bring girls. He stated that he manages a majority of the units in the Poseidon and they would make special accommodations for me. Well. I thought "Great!
I get there my first night and bring my first girl in. Here is the rule at Poseidon. No Guests can enter the building after 10 PM. Period! I was so ticked off. I told the desk lady "Hey I know the manager of all these apartments and he said it was okay". She very, very reluctantly let me in. I think it was because my girl was hot and classy and did not look like a Hooker.
Well next day I call the property manager and tell him what happened that I ALMOST didn't get in. He says "NO problem" he would talk to the general manager and it would all be fine. Well guess what?? Next night its 11 pm and I have another new hotty. I go to the desk and she says. "Sorry. No guests after 11 PM! I say wait. The GM said it was OK. She said "he never.
Told me it was okay" so I had to turn away my girl! (didn't feel like renting an hourly room somewhere). I was beyond livid. The next night I try to bring a girl in and they stop me at the front door!(I didn't even make it to the desk)! I raised hell and finally mad it to the desk. I tried everything to get my girl in even a very expensive bribe. They would not take the money!
I ended up calling the manager the next day telling him I want my money back now I'm moving out!! He calmed me down and Guaranteed to get me in anytime I want. Well long story short I did get in the remaining nights but it was still hell. I saw them turning away other guys right and left who tried bringing in girls.
Get a guarantee from your apartment owner that you can bring guests or your money back. Say something now to them Before you go. You don't want a surprise like that.

Gents,
I've been living and working in Cartagena now for several months and here is my report with facts and subjective experiences and suggestions.
I have some questions at the end.
Clubs.
Isis: Nice club in the old city with some real lookers, but not overly friendly compared to other joints.
I'm yet to take a chica out of there due to lack of chemistry and better (value) options elsewhere.
Quoted price 300 K including room.
Pley Club: Better vibe in my opinion. Sessioned with an amazing and friendly Paisa, and took the number from a stunning Caleña who I'm yet to follow up.
Paid: 275 K including room.
La Dulce Vita: Bar in El Laguito. Minimum spend of 80 K (may have changed) pesos at the bar before you can take a chica out.
Met a super hot negra caleña with tits and ass for days there, and sessioned with her on two amazing occasions.
Paid: 80 K exit fee + 200 K to chica + 16 k motel.
Rosario House: More like a brothel, but has a nice bar, and seating area where you can have a drink and chat with the girls.
Shabby but clean rooms on site where the chicas live.
Really well run place. Mostly local chicas early 20's, and caters to local customers. I had an amazing time there with a hot (albeit slightly stoned) Cartagenera.
Paid: 190 k all in.
Angeles Club: Mid tier joint that is really well run (the owner / manager is a woman), with quality girls.
Sessioned with a hot paisa there. 2 shots / BBJ / DFK without negotiation nor even request for propina.
Some real hotties there. Plan to go back. Rooms on site where the chicas live.
Paid: 200 k all in.
El Paraiso del Marino: A bit out of town with mostly younger local chicas.
Rooms were of higher standard.
Sessioned with a super hot / toned / tattooed chica who treated me like exercise equipment.
Paid: 220 k all in.
Space: Loud techno, people smoking inside the entrance hallway, dark, full of coked up white men, transexuals and the occasional hot chica.
Struck gold, by finding a super hot, curvy Venezuelan where everything was up for grabs. Pissed off only about the 50 K peso exit fee. Got her number for future ref but unlikely to ever set foot in Space again.
Paid: 50 k exit fee + 150 k to Chica.
Public Spaces.
El Torre Reloj (Clock Tower): Best chicas and best value in my experience and opinion. I have sessioned with around 15 chicas who work the clock tower and have nothing bad to report.
Some have limits. Occasionally no DFK. DATY has always been on the menu but I often don't bother. Though those who do make up for it in other ways.
My flavour is brunette morenas, and there are many bonitas amables in this region.
I also now have a reg in this category who is a real keeper.
Paid: I offer 150 K to all of these girls as standard, which they readily accept.
Beaches: I must be missing something. I have walked the beaches of Bocagrande and El Laguito in the afternoons and encountered only one or two chicas who might be on the game, but lack approachability. Would appreciate some help or insights here.
Apps / Websites.
Tinder: A lot of golden professional chicas here. I met a hot Venezuelan for a super sesh. She rented an apartment herself. This seems common.
[URL]Mileroticos.com[/URL]: Some super hot and quality advertisers here. Most rent apartments in El Lguito. A Cartagenera there named Katalina is a bombshell.
I have visited about 8 chicas from here mostly Cartageneras or Venezuelans. All top notch. Frustrating however that many do not use whatsapp. So your selection may be limited.
Recommend for day action.
Anyway lads, I hope this report helps.
I'd appreciate insights and feedback.
I'm also happy to meet anyone from this group for a beer and a prowl around in CTG.
Great report. Thanks.
I was in Ctgn for two nights last week. I took a girl in ISIS and was more expansive since I requested "toda la noche". Maybe I expend too much but was great sex. I've never tried Pleyclub. The following night I took a girl near LDV. It cost me $ 150 pesos.
Hey,
A buddy and I are coming to town next week staying in BocaGrande if your around lets grab a beer and if you can direct us in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm yet to take a chica out of there due to lack of chemistry and better (value) options elsewhere.
Quoted price 300 K including room.
Pley Club: Better vibe in my opinion. Sessioned with an amazing and friendly Paisa, and took the number from a stunning Calea who I'm yet to follow up.
Paid: 275 K including room.
La Dulce Vita: Bar in El Laguito. Minimum spend of 80 K (may have changed) pesos at the bar before you can take a chica out.
Met a super hot negra calea with tits and ass for days there, and sessioned with her on two amazing occasions.
Paid: 80 K exit fee + 200 K to chica + 16 k motel.
Rosario House: More like a brothel, but has a nice bar, and seating area where you can have a drink and chat with the girls.
Shabby but clean rooms on site where the chicas live.
Really well run place. Mostly local chicas early 20's, and caters to local customers. I had an amazing time there with a hot (albeit slightly stoned) Cartagenera.
Paid: 190 k all in.
Angeles Club: Mid tier joint that is really well run (the owner / manager is a woman), with quality girls.
Sessioned with a hot paisa there. 2 shots / BBJ / DFK without negotiation nor even request for propina.
Some real hotties there. Plan to go back. Rooms on site where the chicas live.
Paid: 200 k all in.
El Paraiso del Marino: A bit out of town with mostly younger local chicas.
Rooms were of higher standard.
Sessioned with a super hot / toned / tattooed chica who treated me like exercise equipment.
Paid: 220 k all in.
Space: Loud techno, people smoking inside the entrance hallway, dark, full of coked up white men, transexuals and the occasional hot chica.
Struck gold, by finding a super hot, curvy Venezuelan where everything was up for grabs. Pissed off only about the 50 K peso exit fee. Got her number for future ref but unlikely to ever set foot in Space again.
Paid: 50 k exit fee + 150 k to Chica.
Public Spaces.
El Torre Reloj (Clock Tower): Best chicas and best value in my experience and opinion. I have sessioned with around 15 chicas who work the clock tower and have nothing bad to report.
Some have limits. Occasionally no DFK. DATY has always been on the menu but I often don't bother. Though those who do make up for it in other ways.
My flavour is brunette morenas, and there are many bonitas amables in this region.
I also now have a reg in this category who is a real keeper.
Paid: I offer 150 K to all of these girls as standard, which they readily accept.
Beaches: I must be missing something. I have walked the beaches of Bocagrande and El Laguito in the afternoons and encountered only one or two chicas who might be on the game, but lack approachability. Would appreciate some help or insights here.
Apps / Websites.
Tinder: A lot of golden professional chicas here. I met a hot Venezuelan for a super sesh. She rented an apartment herself. This seems common.
[URL]Mileroticos.com[/URL]: Some super hot and quality advertisers here. Most rent apartments in El Lguito. A Cartagenera there named Katalina is a bombshell.
I have visited about 8 chicas from here mostly Cartageneras or Venezuelans. All top notch. Frustrating however that many do not use whatsapp. So your selection may be limited.
Recommend for day action.
Anyway lads, I hope this report helps.
I'd appreciate insights and feedback.
I'm also happy to meet anyone from this group for a beer and a prowl around in CTG.[/QUOTE]
P.M. me should you join up. Well worth it in my humble opinion.
Dave.
I have been searching the forum without any success. Does anyone have recommendations on a nice, comfortable, charming, hotel in the old city that allows guests? I am not interested in an apartment.
I just posted some in the Hotel Thread.
Not Sure what is Chica Friendly. You can always call and ask?

Casa Boutique Veranera. I stayed the a couple of years ago, and it should meet your needs. Has a pool, serves a decent simple breakfast, and very guest friendly. It's a converted villa with maybe 6 rooms. Enjoy!
Thanks for the trip report! Planning to visit in November and I would like to meet up for some beer and share stories. Let me know!
[QUOTE=AussieStiffler;1942485]Gents,
I've been living and working in Cartagena now for several months and here is my report with facts and subjective experiences and suggestions.
I have some questions at the end.
Clubs.

Are there any reports on ColombiaPure?
I will stop in Cartagena on a cruise. I need a venue suggestion too. Many thanks.
[QUOTE=DaveCarrera;1941396]Don't know much at all about this service, but the photos are really impressive. I bit more than normal prices ($120-$130 an hour), but if the quality is what they advertise would be worth it for an agency. Will let everyone knows how it goes.
Probably staying with some other friends at Poseidon. Never been, but looks nice and great location. Hope it's chica friendly![/QUOTE]
Just got back from CTG. LDV closed in Laguito and has moved to Old City. About a block and a half from Clock Tower.
Didn't like the setup. Opening night was last night and at midnight there were only like 4 girls.
I took a look at the website [URL]colombiapure.com[/URL] and I would have to say this is legit. Here's why: On my last few trips to CTG I found a guy on mileroticos that was advertising girls. He would show me photos of the girls and picked a few that I liked. Well I have to say that this guys service was legit because the same girl that was in the photo was the same girl that showed up at the door and these chicks were hot. Well here is how all of this relates to Colombia [URL]Pure.com[/URL]. Several of the girls that are now are the same photos that the guy showed me 6 months ago (but I had chosen different girls) . The good news of why I think this is legit is because the girls that are in those photos on Colombia Pure have the "same names" as what the guy told me the girls names were 6 months ago. No I don't think it is the same guy who owns the site Colombia pure. Because what I have found is that as I ran into a few more guys who did the same type of thing (managed a group of girls) I found out that these girls are totally freelance meaning they give there name and photos to several guys who promote them and whoever brings the girl a "client" gets a cut of the fee.
I will be in CTG next week and will also give this service a shot!

I was a huge fan of LDV back in the day when there were super hotties there all the time (over a year ago). Unfortunately its gone down hill. So opening night was a Sunday night? That's an odd night for an opening night especially since CTG is typically a lot quieter on Sunday nights. I will be there the weekend of Oct 21st and will be hanging out near Clock Tower and will give full Fri / Sat reports of this area. Anybody around that wants to meet that weekend for a drink and cruise chicks holler back- I'm good with Espanol and would be happy to help.

I seen that was going to happen. I liked the convenience of walking down there. It was easy. But it was going down hill for awhile. I am heading to CTG in November and have other places and girls that I have seen and know for awhile. I don't go to Isis or pleyboy club. I will just stick with my semi regular clubs in the walled city.
But I did like convenience of LDV.

Just got back from CTG last night and wanted to give you guys a few updates as well.
I had read a lot of stuff on this site before I went down there so I felt relatively prepared.
One missing hole was afternoon mongering, and because I was only down there for 1 day, this was a must. I had to make the most of my time, and did not want to wait till 11 pm to pick up girls at either the Clock Tower or whatever.
I sent in a request on [URL]Colombiapure.com[/URL] 2 days before I left and Jorge got right back to me. I Scheduled 2 girls to meet me at our house at 3 pm.
Then the day of travel my buddy's flight got delayed so I had to whatsapp Jorge when I landed and tell him to push the girls back till 7 pm. He did this with no problem or bitching.
I ended up calling him through whatsapp when I got there as I was getting sick of texting and we chatted on the phone for a while.
He was a super nice guy and incredibly helpful. After explaining to him exactly what we were looking for, Jorge actually suggested 2 different girls that he thought would meet our needs better than what we had selected.
He ended up sending Christina, and Daniela (the exact ones from the website) and they met us at Cafe al Mar for a few drinks before we took them back to our house.
There was a little negotiating to be done back at the house and my Spanish is not great. I called Jorge and he walked / talked me and the girls through the whole thing. It was really nice to have someone there to help manage the negotiation.
It was about $220 US for each girl and they were with us for about 3 to 4 hours. This might sound a bit expensive, and I agree, but to have 2 smoking hot chics show up who were down for whatever for 3+ hours, it was well worth it.
My buddy ended up passing out for a bit since he had been up since 4 am dealing with his flights, so I was lucky enough to knock out both of them while my friend slept.
After they left around 10:30 pm, I woke my buddy up and went out again. We went to the clock tower for an hour and a half and checked out the chics, but more just drinking tons of beers at the little corner bar near Tu Candela.
It was a fun night I think because Colombia had just tied Uruguay in a last minute goal, and everyone was getting shitfaced.
The girls at the tower looked good but I wanted to show my friend Pleyclub as it was his first night ever in CTG.
We got to Pleyclub at 12:30 ish and it was pretty packed. Lots of Colombian guys and lots of girls. There were probably 25-30 girls when we first got there.
It gets a little fuzzy from here as we were pretty drunk, but we spent a bit more that an hour at Pleyclub and pulled 4 girls to come home with us.
They were all hot, but one was a Colombian 9.5 or an American.
They were 620,000 CP each (a bit $$) but worth it. There was tons of ass there.
Got back to the house and started partying and my friend and I both took 2 girls to the rooms and had a blast till 4 am.
All in a great night, my only complaint is that not one of the girls would BBBJ even after much pleading. Maybe this is the new thing as I don't remember that being as issue before?
Unfortunately I can't remember even 1 name of the 4 girls we pulled from Pleyclub cause I was so hammered. I actually called Jorge back this morning to try to help me find the number of one of the girls that I fell for pretty hard so I can see her next time I am in CTG.
Jorge has been helping me to find out who she was. Remember, he had nothing to do with the chics at Pleyclub, he is just being cool trying to help me out as he knows a bunch of girls that work there too.
Anyway, that's it for now, but another great night in CTG. Thanks in part to Colombiapure. Jorge is legit!
I was thinking of the first time I went to LDV in April 2005 and all the hotties that could be had for 80-100 K pesos. I see from these reports it has moved to the old city and that should leave a void in the Laguito / Boca Grande scene so maybe something new will come along. I haven't been in LDV on my last few trips as their new policies and chicas attitudes changed but I was lucky to have experienced it when it was fun. Sad to see it go but not surprised.

Nice Report, I am surprised you had trouble with BBBJ. Personally I will not see a girl that doesn't agree to BBBJ. Here is only reason I can think of that you had that problem. If I read your report correctly you were always with 2 girls. This can be a problem because one doesn't want the other to know what she does. This is why I only take one girl at a time, because I have had issues with this when I had two girls and then sent them home with taxi money but it sucks. Never had a problem when it was just me and one girl. Just my experience. Thanks for your report! I am heading there in November.

While I've been to CTG a few times, seems that there's a lot more options to "order in" than I knew before. For example, Tinder and Mileroticos. I'm curious how fellow mangers experience has been using these site; are most photos real and recent?

All girls there looks the same: sexy and with fantastic body. While I have seen the ads of some outstanding girls I met in Cartagena before, either at the Reloy or some clubs, it looks too much a lottery to me. Should I pick an ad among dozens, I guess that any girl among those at Reloy may respond. And, among those at Reloy, I would choose less than 5%.
PS: Will you also post some report of your trips?

I understand the Face thing but I wouldn't show my face either. , who wants there face plastered all over the Internet for some perverts to see? As long as they show there body, that's important, also if they have a nice body there face usually isn't bad either. I wouldn't want my face on those sites.

Guys,
Please remember that 90% of the girls here you can get for 150 mil pesos or less, if you just bargain a little. Yes, you can justify paying double or triple if you want because somehow "its worth it", but it drives the prices slowly up. Why pay double if you don't really have to?
Luckily, there are a ton of girls here now from Venezuela, and that is helping keep the prices low.
Now, the 5% that meet Black Pages Ultra High standards, you might have to go 200 or 250. But I'm assuming those are all "10's. " Plenty of 8-9's walking around that are going to be better in the sack anyway.

" I did not mean I only take supermodels (who are also super-expensive). I meant that before taking a girl I like to talk with many, feel something, call it "chemistry" (quimica). I almost never took a girl who demanded 300 k, firm and not negotiable. This type of girls makes me run away.
As most people well knows, best experiences are not with best looking dolls. A good experience is made of chemistry, which makes the girl to behave not mechanically.
My last night on my last stay in CTG, I took a couple of girls who were "new" to the Reloy scene. Employed at Europa, they were trying their luck as independent after their 10 hours shift. Not supermodels, but it was a super night for me! They asked 100 k for 1 hour, and agreed to get 200 k for all the night (plus the multa when they returned after 6 am).
So, why do I tell all this? To say that the same girls, now that they are fully independent, have their apartment, got experience, demand 200 k for 1 hour (her word by Whatsapp), and they have lots of customers.
In short, I agree that for a quickie with a decent girl 150 k will be enough in CTG, but the rates for best looking ones usually start from 200 k (and some negotiation may be needed).
Absolutely there going to want 200,000 peso or more for a couple-few hours. But that is not bad. Also I agree 100 percent, I don't like casas on the whole. I much prefer as you say to talk and see if there is some chemistry. I have seen guys grab the hottest girls and can see clearly his time is going to suck with her because clearly she is not interested in him.
I might not get the best looking women but I sure as hell will have a great time and they almost always stay way longer drinking fucking and partying then we agreed on and they want to comeback again the next night.

Here is one of my half ass reports. I would stave as a writer. Clearly on any level! Flew spirit from AC to FL and onto CTG.
Drank from 3 am headed to flight and entire time from arriving a acy airport. Flights were all on time. Round trip with all big front seat and bags was about 6:30.
Had Taxi take me write to Olympica. First I use the Mac card to get money from ATM at airport. I had a nice amount but I got enough for night. Bought bunch of stuff I like fruit mixers for bar etc. 300,000. 00.
Uploaded car at apartment. I am staying in one of Juans Apartments in Laguitto.
Around 4 pm a girl I new arrived at apartment we partied for about 4 hours. She was very good. She likes to tweak while riding you and she is good. Gave her 250,000. 00 peso.
Took nap woke up at 1 am. It's essentially Wedndesday morning. Wasn't sure how clubs would be on Tuesday night / now Wednesday morning. So I said fuck it I will try Colombia pure. Everything went ok. But fuck that, they basically hustle women and get a piece which I understand but you pay way more. It's better to just jump in taxi and get your own. But it was convenient. Only thing good was convenience, girl and me didn't hit it off but she was kool. She stay 2 hours later to party. Then wanted to sleep here but I wasn't ready for all that. So I sent her on her way at 7 AM.
Took Nap went to store. It was very cloudy. I had girl come back at 4 pm that I had seen yesterday. Had a 2 romp and few more drink and went to sleep early. Feel way better. So now it's Thursday Morning and I have one of my regulars coming to my place at eleven tonight for a couple hours. Then my plan is to see how TU Candela is tonight. Also today I will see how beach area is doing and get a massage from my favorite Luce Marina! Also I gonna eat lunch at carbon de palo and drink there Sangri . I love it
Ok here is finish up to my first report. Beach was packed with more working girls then I ever seen. Went to new LDV club in walled city. Same staff work there. They were great, went there Friday night plenty of people I had a great time. Plenty of girls. One of best trips I ever had. Girls definitely keep wanting more mone. But I had my regular. Great fucking time!
[QUOTE=TheShadow2;1954285]Guys,
Please remember that 90% of the girls here you can get for 150 mil pesos or less, if you just bargain a little. Yes, you can justify paying double or triple if you want because somehow "its worth it", but it drives the prices slowly up. Why pay double if you don't really have to?
Luckily, there are a ton of girls here now from Venezuela, and that is helping keep the prices low.
Now, the 5% that meet Black Pages Ultra High standards, you might have to go 200 or 250. But I'm assuming those are all "10's. " Plenty of 8-9's walking around that are going to be better in the sack anyway.[/QUOTE]Just because 90% of them are 150 k or less doesn't mean that they are fuckable! Everybody's standards are different. The ST range is 150 k-250 k. A few less and a few more. The price for everyone is different. It can vary because of looks, Spanish skills, personality or even time of day. Start your negotiations at 150 k and work your way from there!

I'm just saying, 150 k is very attainable with most of these girls. They ALWAYS give you their "high" price first if you ask, wouldn't you? I was there last night, talked with maybe 4-5 girls, only one didn't come down to 150 k. That's about how it always is. You just have to be prepared to politely walk away.
I agree that looks, spanish skills, personality, etc can effect negotiations a great deal as you stated.
CTG veterans.
Is there a short time hotel that you know of in Bocagrande? I know most guys just use their apartments, but when you got a novia, that becomes problematic.
I know a couple in centro, and of course La Jeiba, Cangrejo, San Soucie, etc.
But it would be real convenient to slip in somewhere in Bocagrande. Someone told me there was one by La rebaja, but which one and the specifics they were lacking.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Cartagena was the first city I landed in Colombia. I couldn't have come at a worse time, it was pouring the streets are flooded, just my luck I come during a hurricane and FARC vote. Check in to a hostel near the clock tower. Rain finally stops, I go to the clock tower and I see no apparent chicas, this was turning in to a dud. Walk into a bar guy says no alcohol due to the vote tomorrow, great way to start a vacation. Walk around a bit, stop in the drogueria to get water because it is hot as shit, we don't have this humidity in the south. Finally ask this guy there where all the chicas are (donde esta chicas?) he doesn't understand then after a few hand motions he got it. Gets a guy named Nelson who speaks English, he says he will take me to a casa which is 30 minutes away, I agreed. Why not go 30 minutes away with a stranger, the things we do for pussy. Its a house in a residential area which has a bar, stripper poles, and chicas. There were about 10 girls and a few local guys with the girls. Spot the one I want, start talking to her, thank god she speaks English. Negotiated the price with the guy who ran the place, wanted 900 k for toda la noche, I was like hold up hold up. Got it down to 650 k total, 250 for the house, 400 for girl. This was a great deal, it ended up being 10+ hours. On the way back to the hostel, Nelson gets us a 12 pack Aguila, guess they will sell to locals even though I couldn't get booze anywhere after 6. So the girl is about 5'3 about 115 lbs, nice titties and ass from a city near Cali. 8 looks, 10 body everything natural, 11 attitude. She was really into it, kissing throughout the night, BBBJ CIM. She was down for anything I wanted, we went multiple times. Very laid back chick, my best experience out of the girls from Bogota and Medellin. I have no idea where the casa was and she didn't give me her number either, damn.

Any help here would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]Once I was a motel called "Mar. Why Sol" in Bocagrande with a girl from LDV.
I arrived after midnight, very tired after a full day trip from Medellin (I did not travel by bus, I took 9 hours stop over in Bogota).
First, someone tells me that there is a new law that imposes all bars to close at 2 am. Bullshit or truth? If true, it could be really the death of nightlife as I understand that in CTG.
It might be true, because at 2 am the Plaza del Reloy was FULL of girls, overwhelming disproportion vs. The number of guys.
I grabbed two young ones dressed like for the beach (they claimed someone had stolen their bag at the beach and did not know how to go back) and we went to Espace (I added "E" to make it sound local), a. K. a. "Epaice". The shutter was half closed at 3 am. WTF?? Explanation: the ley imposes to close at 2 am, so they close the shutter but keep the party on till 6 am. Ok fine.
Does anyone have her contact info?
PM me please. Much appreciated! L.
La Dolce: Around 10, just about ten girls. Around 12:30, 30+, and a lot of hotties! NO cover.
Inside the clock tower, a butt-load of women, with a good share of hotties. I pulled a stunner for a couple of hours at my (Juan's) Laquito apartment. The later it got, the more women showed up!
Bar Tu Candela:10,000 cover. Around one, the place was packed, mostly with dudes! Did not see a lot of women, because were too many fucking men!
Pley: No cover, and around 1:30, there were 25-30 women in the place. Lots of hotties. I was told 200 ML included the room and girl for 40 minutes.
Happy hunting!
[QUOTE=Tomjackin;1964351]La Dolce: Around 10, just about ten girls. Around 12:30, 30+, and a lot of hotties!

I remember I read here about 80 k before. It must be the new location thing.
Please note that I was NEVER asked to pay that minimum amount by the waiters the few times I took a girl from LDV. Certainly, when I am there I am not a stingy one, I drink one cocktail minimum and I offer it to say minimum a couple of girls, and I leave tips to waiters, but the key thing is that I always set a meeting somewhere with my girl about half an hour later. <g .

Explanation: the ley imposes to close at 2 am, so they close the shutter but keep the party on till 6 am. Ok fine.[/QUOTE]Yesterday I have seen one of the worst pages ever. It seems that the Alcalde decided to make Cartagena a better place for tourists and those who voted for him happy. So what? More cleaners around the streets? More security at night out of the walls? Less drugs? Less touts and sellers on the beach? NO. Now all bars must close at 2 am even on Saturday.
You know, there is a lot of people, also in Colombia, who think that the best way to spend the Saturday is at home in front of TV. The Alcalde wants everyone adopt this lifestyle, including the tourists who come here and spend a lot of money to sustaing the local economy.
So, at 2 am, a huge force of Policia Metropolitana, some officers with red jacket, professional photo operators (local press? Police agents?) moved compact to fight the vice and the crime. No, they did not look for pandilleros, but they went to Space to enforce the closing. Drama with the manager complaining strongly, the photo operators grabbing the scene and the customers, et cetera et cetera (fu*cking autocorrector, I must write it complete to avoid the mess and the need to re-edit my text).
I think that yesterday the boss of Space omitted to pay his bribe to someone, because the Tu Candela was open till after 4 am instead (front door closed, but vibrating because of the music inside, back door open, usual 10 k cover). WTF. What's the purpose to close bars at 2 am on Saturday?? To make the Centro silent and lonely like years ago, when it was a dangeros place?

Most of the time I did but after that I always did the "meet me outside" thing whether I drank enough or not. If the girl is a veteran she will say she don't care and vamos. It is mostly the new girls that are scared and want to follow the rules.
Anyone know what happened to the old cigarette and gum selling guy outside of LDV? A chica told me he died like 6 months ago. He was a nice guy, always remembered me every time I came into town.
Hi guys,
I'll be in Cartagena tomorrow for 3 nights and wanted to ask if someone could share a link to a "master list" (if someone has compiled one for Cartagena) of casas or places to go to find chicas?
Thanks.

My understanding is that he died from cardiac arrest. May he RIP.
Cartagena is 100% better for me and to my speed. Chicas are out on the beach during the day and start going to the old city at night.
It took me 30 minutes of walking the beach before I met a blanquita from (drum beat) Medellin with a nice set of buttcheeks (Nalgas). Bought her a couple of beers and we both got hats for 30 k which was too much I think. Got ripped off for the beers but fuck it. She said let's not come here anymore.
She said she would spend time with me for 200 k. We fucked went to the old city for lunch, chatted a fuck load. I got her a ticket to go to Playa Blanca with me tommorow and she is bringing her shit over. I am going to give her about 200 k a day at the end which I think is fair.
The only additonal expense is the new bikini I bought her but fuck it. She's letting me go bareback. This shit is super rare.
Fuck the touts on the beach. Rip off artists. Don't deal with them at all.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Do you know there is a "Cartagena List" thread on this ISG Board? And that there you'll find the List and even a map?
Summary of my five days in Cartagena:
Day 1: I just explored the beach and Torre del Reloj. There are girls on the beach in the afternoon and I'd say starting around 9 pm the girls start showing up at Torre del Reloj in the old city. I was too tired my first day to pick up any so I just went home after having a quick dinner. I also found LDV by asking a working girl to show it to me. I felt sorry for her because she was Venezuelan and really desperate for a date (you could see the sadness in her eyes when I refused her) so I gave her 20 k for the 15 minutes I took from her time and wished her and her friend luck. These Venezuelans are going through a very rough time right now. It doesn't hurt to show them a little extra kindness with a propina.
Day 2: Got a tout to "call" me a girl. This was in the morning. I quickly realized these dudes are scam artists that just act as middle men. I'm pretty sure you can buy your own beers from the small bars on the beach in Bocagrande, get your own breakfast etc. But alas I had to learn the lesson the hard way. The girl didn't show up until noon, and I got a message from WhatsApp to come down. She was a beautiful blanquita from Medellin. I have more on her backstory further down with some interesting info on the Isis club. We immediately got to talking and I ordered us a couple of beers. The conversation was going very well. She was surprised at my level of Spanish (and frankly I was surprised at how well I was speaking). By the end of the conversation we were both laughing and getting a good vibe. Before getting the bill from the tout for the drinks, I mentioned I would prefer to go with no condom with her. I told her very plainly that my previous long term relationship with a working girl was all bareback and that I was used to that. She thought about it for a moment and asked me if I ever had an STD. I told her never because I prefer to only stick to one girl for a long period of time.
It's actually true. You lower your risk level significantly by having sex with fewer partners so sticking to one lowers that even more.
In any case, the inflated bill arrived, I got angry, and discussed it with the tout for a good 15 minutes before I just paid him in disgust. The girl told me, as we walked back to my apartment building, never to order anything from those guys.
The initial service was excellent. French kissing, blow job, bare back sex. Full of energy and wild. I loved it. After I finished in her for the second time I realized it was getting late and we were both hungry. We showered, got dressed, and headed into the old city for some lunch. We talked about all kinds of topics while holding hands and exploring in the heat. Then we went back to the apartment for more fucking, followed by a siesta, dinner, and a bit of dancing. She also brought her travel bag over with all her clothes. At this point I had only paid her 200 k.
Quick note about the chica: She spent the entire time with me. She made breakfast every day. Made coffee everytime she thought I wanted one. Cleaned the apartment when it needed some cleaning and even did my laundry. Very very good girl who was always aiming to please. Sometimes too much. She would never assert herself and I found it hard to gauge what she did not like because of it.
Day 3: I had a ticket to Playa Blanca so I paid the tourist guy for a second ticket and we both went. Touts were everywhere. It wasn't the worst experience since I learned how to deal with them but still, we ended up paying a guy 50 k just to watch our shit while we went out on a jet ski. We were fucking tired by 6 pm when we got back to the apartment so we mostly just slept in and ate fast food. We did get up by 11 pm I decided to discuss her full payment as there were two days left. I told her I'd give her 200 k a day for a total of 800 k. She agreed but on the condition that I paid an additional 100 k per day for a "multa" or fine she had to pay. This piqued my interest so I nicely asked her to explain her situation:
Evidently she lived in a house with 30 other women, and she claimed 5 were in a room with her. Now remember to take this all with a grain of salt. Evidently she's a dancer at Isis occasionally to supplement her income. On days she does not work she has to pay 100 k to the "empressa," because they fly her in from Medellin to work and not sit around. Now which business that is I didn't ask but I started to get a picture of things. She said it's not easy money but quick money to work there so when she accumulates debt she takes vacation time from her work to fly to Cartagena and work the club. She told me she was done working that club (not sure if that's true but whatever) because she didn't like the customers.
Day 4: I had some Colombian friends visiting Cartagena. So after breakfast I offered to buy her a new camisa. She surprisingly resisted. When we went in she kept asking me which camisa she should get. I encouraged her to find one she likes. She eventually tried on a couple and I pointed to a nice one piece dress she could get for the night. I ended up buying all three for a little over $100. She looked more normal in the new shirt and less slutty. My Colombian friends would not approve of a prepago. I think one of them suspected but I assured her the girl I brought with me was just a Colombian girl interested in meeting an extranjero. My Colombian friends left Cartagena around 4 pm. They were doing a roadtrip all the way to Santa Marta to visit family. The girl and I went back to my apartment, fucked, slept in, and then got dressed for a night out on the town. This included dinner, doing the coach tour in the old city and hitting up Tu Candela for drinks and dancing. She looked stunning in the new dress I bought her.
Day 5: We mostly spent in the apartment eating whatever food we had left in the fridge and fucking. My flight was late in the afternoon. She helped me pack, and made sure all my clothes were cleaned and folded.
Great girl. I told her after navidad we could do something in January or February. She told me she was happy to go exploring other countries with me. I asked if I would have to pay her for her time and she said I wouldn't. But we'll see.
Some additional notes:
* A girl on tinder wanted 300 k for 2 hours. I told her 150 k for one hour and she refused. Offering 200 k for 1 hour sin condom for the blowjob part. Naturally I didn't bother as I had already met this girl.
* This girl has a real corporate job with four weeks of vacation a year. I think this fits the definition of "semi pro. ".
* There's an on-and-off novio in the mix who looks a bit like me hahaha. The last long-term hooker I had had the same thing. It's weird that way. It's like they fight with their novio then run off with the foreigner for a couple of months, then go back, and on and on it goes.
Cartagena is more expensive than Medellin. The only thing cheap about it was the great apartment I got with a huge balcony over looking the ocean on Bocagrande. Everything else cost more.
Have fun!
EDIT: BTW, the girls in the Torre del Reloj are independents at least according to the chica I was with. Also from what I could see they all dress mostly elegantly. I saw very little obvious slutiness. You could easily take one out dancing and then back to your place for fucking. Something I wished I could do but the chica would have split on me if I pulled that shit.

100% right. The last one drove me a bit over the wall when she wanted to quit her prepago job and go straight. She had every opportunity to just get a regular job and enough support from her wealthy family to do so. Instead she fucked it up, and my hopes of her becoming a regular girlfriend quickly vanished. I'm much more realistic now.

Or, if you're thinking of taking your new novia someplace special bring her up to Manizales or meet her in Medellin and fly out to Nuqui. As a bonus, both are probably cheaper than Cartagena.
Of course, if you're hunting for a fresh piece, neither of those places are a good destination, but if you want to make an impression.
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;1968070]Do they fuck you on the luggage? I'm looking at Viva right now for an Christmas trip. Christmas is usually crazy expensive.[/QUOTE]Viva charges 10 k per bag.

Logistics:
Flight:
I flew United round trip from San Diego for $980 and some change. Last trip, I flew through Panama each way. But this trip I flew into Bogota, and had to transfer to an Avianca flight. A week before I left, I had a 1. 5 hour layover, which was fine with me. But the day before I left, fucking Avianca cut my layover to only 45 minutes. Having to go through immigration and customs, and walking around that long ass airport, there was no way I could make the damn connection! Pinche Avianca ended up putting me in a crappy hotel that served crappy food to boot; thus, I lost one night in Cartagena!
Airport:
The airport in Cartagena is small. There was no ATM that I could find. But there was a place to exchange money, so I exchanged enough for the taxi and one night on the town. Taxi was 18 K to the apartment, and 20 K when I returned.
Money:
The currency in Cartagena is Pesos. The airport rate sucked, but I was in need for the day. The exchange place I used in town was 2770 pesos to one dollar. Passport was required! When I ran out of dollars / pesos, I abused the ATMs nearby my apartment.
Apartment / Juan:
Once again, I stayed at one of Juan's rental apartments. It was a big 2 bedroom located on the beach in El Laguito for $85 per night. I had a large balcony overlooking the pool and beach / ocean. Apartment was equipped with WiFi, wide screen TV, A / see in each room, and 24 hour security. Security check the IDs of all the girls and logged their information in a ledger. There was housekeeper service available, but I did not need the service.
I will tell you one thing, Juan and his sidekick, Adolfo, are one class act. Every e-mail was answered quickly, and everything went smoothly with the apartment. The porteros at the apartment were also great!
Communication:
Because I have the T-Mobile North American plan, life was quite easy. My plan gave me unlimited data at 2 G speed, calls at 20 cents per minute, and free texts. Thus, I started using WhatsApp on my regular phone. I started chatting with chicas before I left. As long as I had a WiFi signal, WhatsApp was free of charge. I was chatting on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Skype; including video calls for no charge whatsoever.
Transportation:
Taxis were always available and quite cheap; 6, 7, and 8 K were the norm around town.
Safety:
I felt completely safe walking around the various areas I visited. Cartagena is the tourist capital of Colombia. On the weekend, many families poured into town from all over Colombia.
Food:
I ate several restaurants; here are my thoughts:
Arepas Pues. Excellent.
Intriga Tropical. Very good.
Conde de la Cruz. Sucked.
Paco's. Sucked.
Riquisimo BBQ. Was good last trip, but the place went downhill.
Anaflecha. Good late night drunk food.
Street food in the Walled City. Excellent.
BTW, there was Subway in the Walled City; oh the shame!
The Beach:
Playa Hollywood had a very mixed crowd. When facing the ocean, the gay section is on the left, and all others are to the right. I read and noted a lot about the beach in advance. BUT, I still had issues with some of the beach venders. Some, would not take no for a answer. I had this conversation a few time:
Me: No gracias.
Vendor: Doesn't leave.
Me: No gracias.
Vendor: Doesn't leave.
Me: Hablas espaol?
Vendor: Si.
Me: No quiero nada de nadie!
Vendor: Finally moves on.
I sat in Fao's section, the section next to Fat Tony's. Yes, Fat Tony is still a pest and is always begging for a beer; fuck him! Fao's wife, Emily gives killer massages and I had one each day that I was there! Because of the rainy weather, I only had three beach days and they were enjoyable for the most part. There were a good amount of freelancers on the beach, but I did not partake even though I spoke to a few of them. All and all, Fao and Emily are hard working honest folks and I highly recommend them to anyone that visits Playa Hollywood.

Just inside the Clock Tower:
What a scene! Every night there were freelancers all over the place. The girls were asking for 100/150/200 K per hour. Many of the girls were hot, some were just scary. I pulled four girls from the place and all were a blast in the apartment. The girls are happy if you buy them a beer and sit and chat about future wedding plans and such.
Cupid Girls. I had three lined up to meet, two were a no show, one showed but wasn't worth my time or effort; I kicked her ass to the curb, and then picked up a hottie inside the clock tower.
Tinder. The women on Tinder that are in for the money are easily identified. In their profile, they describe themselves as "scort" or "dama de compaia. " I was in contact with several during my trip, but nothing ever panned out. Either they were too busy or wanted too much money, thus, I did not think it was worth the effort or hassle. But, I urge others to give it a try. Some others have had success with Tinder, maybe I was just too fucking lazy to follow through.
Conclusion:
Cartagena had a lot more to offer, I barely scratched the surface of clubs and the girls. I did have a great time and I will return someday, when, not sure. I feel that knowing some Spanish is a must because many of these girls speak no English. At times, I felt challenged with the Spanish that I know. I felt completely safe throughout the entire trip. Yes, the place is a tad expensive compared to other monger destinations, but I just had to return and explore the city more; glad I did!

Airport:
The airport in Cartagena is small. There was no ATM that I could find. But there was a place to exchange money, so I exchanged enough for the taxi and one night on the town. Taxi was 18 K to the apartment, and 20 K when I returned.

[/QUOTE]That's interesting. My chica / novia / working girl went with me and we didn't pay a cover charge Saturday night. Place was packed with couples. If there were any working girls it wasn't obvious at all. I wouldn't go to Tu Candela for hookers. I'd take a hooker there if you wanted to do some reggaeton. Seeing as its right in front of the clock tower I see no reason for hookers to sit in there in the first place.

Out of the arrivals of the CTG airport, all people is sent to the left, to a window where a girl issues coupons specifying the fee for taxi rides.

[QUOTE=BlackPage;1964639]According to the girl I met yesterday night at Reloy, who works there, at LDV there is a minimum charge of 100 k drinks for those who grab a girl. I remember I read here about 80 k before. It must be the new location thing.
Please note that I was NEVER asked to pay that minimum amount by the waiters the few times I took a girl from LDV. Certainly, when I am there I am not a stingy one, I drink one cocktail minimum and I offer it to say minimum a couple of girls, and I leave tips to waiters, but the key thing is that I always set a meeting somewhere with my girl about half an hour later. <g .
Yesterday I have seen one of the worst pages ever. It seems that the Alcalde decided to make Cartagena a better place for tourists and those who voted for him happy. So what? More cleaners around the streets? More security at night out of the walls? Less drugs? Less touts and sellers on the beach? NO. Now all bars must close at 2 am even on Saturday.
You know, there is a lot of people, also in Colombia, who think that the best way to spend the Saturday is at home in front of TV. The Alcalde wants everyone adopt this lifestyle, including the tourists who come here and spend a lot of money to sustaing the local economy.
So, at 2 am, a huge force of Policia Metropolitana, some officers with red jacket, professional photo operators (local press? Police agents?) moved compact to fight the vice and the crime. No, they did not look for pandilleros, but they went to Space to enforce the closing. Drama with the manager complaining strongly, the photo operators grabbing the scene and the customers, et cetera et cetera (fu*cking autocorrector, I must write it complete to avoid the mess and the need to re-edit my text).
I think that yesterday the boss of Space omitted to pay his bribe to someone, because the Tu Candela was open till after 4 am instead (front door closed, but vibrating because of the music inside, back door open, usual 10 k cover). WTF. What's the purpose to close bars at 2 am on Saturday?? To make the Centro silent and lonely like years ago, when it was a dangeros place?[/QUOTE]My sources told me this new closing time was implemented because Space and VIP were not sticking to the 4 AM closing time. I don't agree with them penalizing everyone over it, but as usual a few ruin it for the many.

The freelancer is awesome in Cartagena. Too bad Medellin doesn't have it. The only downside is there are no 30 k casas like Medellin.

I went back some twenty pages and noticed only one report posted during January, unfortunately I can't tell if it occurred in January or when in January. I'm assuming most chicas head back home around mid December up to a few days before Christmas. In Panama the first two weeks of January can be real slow. Do things pick up by the third week?
I just got to go back for seconds.

YippieKayay,
Great report. Thanks.
I agree that its true that you lower your risk level significantly by having sex with fewer partners. But I think that even dating with just one pro could risky. I feel always afraid of STD. Even using condoms I feel insecure. Does it happen to anyone? Am I exaggerating?
I was in Cartagena late November. I took a pro from LDV. It cost me $ 200 for couple of hours. We went to "La jaiba".

Thank you guys for the advices.
Jut sit down and buy a bottle of rum or vodka, tequila etc, tip the bouncers feed the girls drinks and have a great time. It will cost tops 250,00- 300,000 with big tips. It's so much nicer then trying to fucking pinch dollars. My God it's so cheap compared to US. That's my advice to you.

In the hundreds of times I've been in LDV, I've noticed it happening to guys who are only there to use the venue without patronizing the bar. It's a bar, that's the business thet are in; why go in to shit on them?
Walk the streets, go to casas, sit on a bench at the clock tower, but don't be a jerk and intentionally go to LDV to hookup with girls with the mindset of not patronizing the place. Lame.

But not everybody rolls that way, some people have a travel budget, and others want to feel like they get value for their hard earned money.
Personally, I've got the means to do it either way, but I find no reason to set foot in LDV and rarely do, when there are so many other better options in Cartagena. The quality of the girls in LDV is not high enough to justify the much higher total bill at the end of the night.
I'd just as soon see them go out of business to discourage others from adopting their business model.

Going as a group. It only makes sense to get a bottle. It is a lot cheaper than getting individual drinks. Going as a group and nursing beers, I find that in bad taste. All I am saying is that there are a variety of situations.

There is even an after-hour disco (Morros).

[QUOTE=Hilltopper;1971698]It's not random to enforcee on guys who are known users and takers.[/QUOTE]Exactly. I must say that LDV is not my type of place: most girls there are greedy and start from 300 k for 1 hour, the same girls who at Reloy are happy with 150 k (not a claim: experienced). But if I go to LDV, I drink and I pay drinks to girls. We go there to enjoy and be happy.
PS: I am going back to CTG. Wish me good luck.
I've been here in CTG for 2 days. Flew in on Spirit from Fort Lauderdale. Purchased ticket 5 hours before flight departure, paid $376 and then $60 more to pre-pay 1 check back in each direction.
Staying in Hampton Hotel. $106/ night first 2 nights, rebooked today for $93/ night (taxes included on rates I show). Very nice hotel, no chica issues here. I previously reported this hotel.
Wednesday I ventured out to new LDV and Isis. New LDV has annoying lights that will strobe past your eyes every 3-5 seconds in most seats. Very annoying. Only 7 chicas around 11:15 pm. I went in at 10:45, only about 4 chicas. Just turned around and left. At 11:15 pm, I needed to sit down after standing / walking lot near the clock tower. I had a plain coke for 5 K. Rested 10 minutes and left. For my 2 cents, if a bar is "dead" I will walk in and walk out no matter where the bar is, USA, Colombia or wherever. Often times like this night I may come back later to see if there is a crowd. No need to hang out if the place doesn't have what I'm looking for.
Isis. Isis hasn't changed much. I saw about 12 girls. 4-5 in conversations with guys and no other guests. This place almost always seems very quiet to me. Average chica here is 25-26 and 20 pounds overweight. Nothing special to my eyes. Place is dark so maybe I missed something. Girls seem uninspired. I got a bottle of water, 14 K, relaxed 15 minutes and left.
Torre de Reloj (Clock Tower). This place is like the boardwalk in Atlantic City. Lots of people coming and going continually, especially 8 am - 1 pm. Right now there are a lot of Colombian tourists and many extra Christmas lights that are up. This is the busiest I've ever seen the walled city in terms of regular tourists. The chicas come out in force between 10-11 pm. There were 30-45 chicas here at any one time. Some well dressed, some casual clothes and some who look like they could use some cleaning up. I met a 24 yo Venezuelan who looked 20. She was very calm and didn't give me the overt "Hello, eyes" when we made eye contact. She wore tourist style dress, flat shoes and didn't look like a working girl in most respects, except she was sitting on a bench in the clock tower plaza. She asked for 200 K for the hour. I said 250 K for 1. 5 hours and she quickly agreed. I don't like the rush experience This tactic worked again with a different chica on Thursday night, counter offering initial price with slightly higher price for 1. 5 x the time. At 200 K, they are charging $67 for first hour and then you are getting the next 30 minutes for $17. Very good connection and GFE with this one. I gave her 300 K because of strong connection and knowing how tough life is in Venezuela now. Wanted to repeat but she didn't use my phone number or return to clock tower on Thursday night. I paid 24 K for 90 minutes in short-time hotel. Place was 2 blocks from main plaza.
Tinder: I used Tinder and make 8-10 matches. Prices quoted on Tinder were 200-300 K per hour and 1 500 K for TLN. I strongly prefer to see the person live in person before agreeing to spend 1+ hours with someone. I met one who didn't live up to her pictures. The pictures were the same girl but she appeared slightly average and flat-chested in person. 2 of the hotter Tinder chicas I saw in the Clock Tower plaza. They are very attractive but seem to know it and give off a veteran vibe which turns me off. I usually go for 18-21 newer to the business chica.
On Tinder there are many beautiful Colombianas. Though making a "match" and being able to contact them is something separate. I've tried matching with "less attractive" Tinder girls to use them to network to their friends but that has only provided 1 average looking referral (her cousin) so far.
Daytime. Daytime is the challenge in Cartagena. Prime hours in CTG for meeting someone are 9:30 pm - 4 am. Trying to meet someone in public from 12 pm - 6 pm is more challenging. Best source is Playa Hollywood or a casa. I'm not a casa guy and I loathe Tony at Playa Hollywood. I took a few phone numbers from chicas at the clock tower to give me some options for daytime.
I'd really like to hang on the beach with a skinny 20 yo in her bikini for an hour or two and then go the room for some fun. Hopefully I can make that happen today.
Thursday night I was about to go to Pley Club to check that out and before getting to the taxi I met a petite (4'10') Venezuelan. She said she was 18 (looked it) but turned out to be 22 when I went to verify her age. Had I not seen her age I could have believed easily she was 18. She had beautiful, silky smooth long brown hair. Actually so did the other Venezuelan from the night before. I'm a huge fan of long, straight dark hair. This petite thing was very GFE with me. I got BBJ after showering myself. So much fun to see a beautiful young women with gorgeous long brown hair taking care of business. Very satisfying. I also got 200 K quote and she quickly accepted 250 K for 1. 5 hours. Maybe I could play "hardball" and get better rates but $83 USD for 90 minutes is about 15-20 minutes and 4 lap dances in the US. She is single mother with 1 year old. Has see-section scar which is only real flaw with her body.
Thanks to those who have shared useful info before me (so I didn't go to old LDV to find it closed and wonder where the new place was).
KF.
Nice report! I think you could've asked 200 k for an hour and half service and they probably would say yes. Give it a shot and see if it works. How's the weather in CTG right now?

I went in at 10:45, only about 4 chicas. Just turned around and left. At 11:15 pm, I needed to sit down after standing / walking lot near the clock tower. I had a plain coke for 5 K. Rested 10 minutes and left. For my 2 cents, if a bar is "dead" I will walk in and walk out no matter where the bar is, USA, Colombia or wherever. Often times like this night I may come back later to see if there is a crowd. No need to hang out if the place doesn't have what I'm looking for.
Isis. Isis hasn't changed much. I saw about 12 girls. 4-5 in conversations with guys and no other guests. This place almost always seems very quiet to me. Average chica here is 25-26 and 20 pounds overweight. Nothing special to my eyes. Place is dark so maybe I missed something. Girls seem uninspired. I got a bottle of water, 14 K, relaxed 15 minutes and left.
Torre de Reloj (Clock Tower). This place is like the boardwalk in Atlantic City. Lots of people coming and going continually, especially 8 am - 1 pm. Right now there are a lot of Colombian tourists and many extra Christmas lights that are up. This is the busiest I've ever seen the walled city in terms of regular tourists. The chicas come out in force between 10-11 pm. There were 30-45 chicas here at any one time. Some well dressed, some casual clothes and some who look like they could use some cleaning up. I met a 24 yo Venezuelan who looked 20. She was very calm and didn't give me the overt "Hello, eyes" when we made eye contact. She wore tourist style dress, flat shoes and didn't look like a working girl in most respects, except she was sitting on a bench in the clock tower plaza. She asked for 200 K for the hour. I said 250 K for 1. 5 hours and she quickly agreed. I don't like the rush experience This tactic worked again with a different chica on Thursday night, counter offering initial price with slightly higher price for 1. 5 x the time. At 200 K, they are charging $67 for first hour and then you are getting the next 30 minutes for $17. Very good connection and GFE with this one. I gave her 300 K because of strong connection and knowing how tough life is in Venezuela now. Wanted to repeat but she didn't use my phone number or return to clock tower on Thursday night. I paid 24 K for 90 minutes in short-time hotel. Place was 2 blocks from main plaza.
Tinder: I used Tinder and make 8-10 matches. Prices quoted on Tinder were 200-300 K per hour and 1 500 K for TLN. I strongly prefer to see the person live in person before agreeing to spend 1+ hours with someone. I met one who didn't live up to her pictures. The pictures were the same girl but she appeared slightly average and flat-chested in person. 2 of the hotter Tinder chicas I saw in the Clock Tower plaza. They are very attractive but seem to know it and give off a veteran vibe which turns me off. I usually go for 18-21 newer to the business chica.
On Tinder there are many beautiful Colombianas. Though making a "match" and being able to contact them is something separate. I've tried matching with "less attractive" Tinder girls to use them to network to their friends but that has only provided 1 average looking referral (her cousin) so far.
Daytime. Daytime is the challenge in Cartagena. Prime hours in CTG for meeting someone are 9:30 pm - 4 am. Trying to meet someone in public from 12 pm - 6 pm is more challenging. Best source is Playa Hollywood or a casa. I'm not a casa guy and I loathe Tony at Playa Hollywood. I took a few phone numbers from chicas at the clock tower to give me some options for daytime.
I'd really like to hang on the beach with a skinny 20 yo in her bikini for an hour or two and then go the room for some fun. Hopefully I can make that happen today.
Thursday night I was about to go to Pley Club to check that out and before getting to the taxi I met a petite (4'10') Venezuelan. She said she was 18 (looked it) but turned out to be 22 when I went to verify her age. Had I not seen her age I could have believed easily she was 18. She had beautiful, silky smooth long brown hair. Actually so did the other Venezuelan from the night before. I'm a huge fan of long, straight dark hair. This petite thing was very GFE with me. I got BBJ after showering myself. So much fun to see a beautiful young women with gorgeous long brown hair taking care of business. Very satisfying. I also got 200 K quote and she quickly accepted 250 K for 1. 5 hours. Maybe I could play "hardball" and get better rates but $83 USD for 90 minutes is about 15-20 minutes and 4 lap dances in the US. She is single mother with 1 year old. Has see-section scar which is only real flaw with her body.
Thanks to those who have shared useful info before me (so I didn't go to old LDV to find it closed and wonder where the new place was).

[QUOTE=BlackPage;1972118]CTG is not MDE. In MDE local folks patronize clubs, in CTG mostly [u]tourists[/u] patronize clubs.
Said that, [U]any[/U] club in CTG during the weekend is a feast for the eyes: Fragma, Babar, Tu Candela, Eivissa, VIP, Mr. Babilla,...
(Warning: sexy girls dancing there are NOT necessarily working girls. In most cases, they are not. I assume a reader of this forum is able to discriminate without specific instructions).
There is even an after-hour disco (Morros).
Strip clubs, etc? Why nobody here reads the List? There is even a map.
Exactly the type of guys that LDV wants to keep away from their door. Backpakers and those on a tight budget have plenty of options at Calle de la Media Luna.
Exactly. I must say that LDV is not my type of place: most girls there are greedy and start from 300 k for 1 hour, the same girls who at Reloy are happy with 150 k (not a claim: experienced). But if I go to LDV, I drink and I pay drinks to girls. We go there to enjoy and be happy.
PS: I am going back to CTG. Wish me good luck :p[/QUOTE]BlackPage,
You made quite a leap here. I specifically said in my report that I had the means to spend however much money at LDV that I wanted to, but that in the interest of not blatantly wasting money, I chose not to. Hell, I'd buy the place if I wanted to. But it sucks, so I won't.
Anyone who chooses not to be ripped off at LDV (which is what it is. A rip-off tourist trap) has numerous other options to get just as high quality girls while spending much less. And those options don't involve Calle de la media Luna, which BTW I'm betting you haven't been to lately.

Kyle,
Thanks for your detailed report, sounds like your trip was a good time. If I could offer one bit of advice. The next time you are negotiating a price with a working girl, and they offer a price for one hour and you want an hour and a half, just tell them you will agree to their price, but for 1. 5 hours, not 1.
I guarantee you 99.9% of them will agree to this in heartbeat. 80 % would accept a lower price and 1. 5 hours. Try it. You're the only person I've ever known that makes a counter offer higher than their original price, which BTW, is always high.
And please try to get comparisons to the USA out of your mind. When you're in Colombia, pay Colombian prices. Example: You take a taxi and the fare is 10 thousand pesos, do you give him 30 thousand because in the USA it would have cost you 30 dollars?
EDIT: I see Judd offered the same advice, good call Bro, didn't mean to ride your coattails.
Friday. Lot of rain during the day. The street in front of Hampton was like a 1 foot high river.

The breakfast he just got from across the street. This wasn't in Playa Hollywood but the beaches in Boca grande. Maybe 125 k wasn't so bad. The regular vendor touts who sell crap were insane. One vendor on Playa Blanca tried to sell me and the girl a couple of stupid bead bracelets for 60 k. He'd been watching our stuff for a half hour while we went Jet Sking so I paid him 50 k for everything but I still thought he was out of his god damn mind.
I'll say this much. Stay the fuck away from Playa Blanca. It's crowded and full of touts who won't give you 2 minutes of peace. I'm going to try the islands next time I'm there.

I went there more often and more times than most people reading here, I guess. Last time today around 7 pm.
I don't argue your opinion about LDV. I don't disagree! I don't like to waste money (I don't have) and I never liked LDV, specifically. I've never been a regular patron there.
I was commenting those people who think they can go to a bar, exploiting (not using) the resources, grab a girl, and all this for a 10k bill. Who is the owner? A charity manager?
About Calle de la Media Luna, it changed a lot in the last 10 years, but still fits what I wrote: it's where all those on a tight budget go to have a drink at night (not to find a girl, which is never cheap in CTG). It's not anymore a den of ladrones and dubious characters, but it's where all backpackers and budget travellers stay.
Don't take me wrong, I like it! There are some very nice places to have a drink, stilish and cozy, but mixed with bars full of young backpackers and even a bar patronized by local reggaetoneros. Some girls working at Plaza del Reloy stay at cheap hostales on Calle de la Media Luna and nearby alleys.
If one likes a cheap fuck with a fattie black not-so-young girl, there is still the group of SW waiting at beginning of the street, in front of the Parque.

One of the girls I met this week in CTG (I am just back to my home country) told me that yesterday the immigration police came to check foreign girls at Reloy. 6 (six) girls from Venezuela were found without regular stamp on passport and taken for immediate deportation. Considered the high number of girls I have spoken with there, also offering beers in a variety of cases, it is highly probable I know some of them. Gosh.
Girls without stamp on the passport are those who passed the border out of regular immigration gates. Overstay is possible, but less common. It looks like there are plenty of such places along the long border line between Venezuela and Colombia.
This time, I have seen a lot more girls from Venezuela than even one month ago. As a matter of fact, the situation there is very difficult. Even those with money have problems in finding products at markets. Two girs who spent the night with me left me at 10 am to go to the supermarket in Bocagrande to buy dia*pers [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord131][CodeWord131][/url] (ROFL, I cannot believe this is a prohibited word) to send to their babies at home, since one of their friends was going to leave the same day to go back. Maduro is not very popular among girls at Reloy.
Okay so I know how it goes around here, I've RTTF a lot and went back over most twice LOL. Anyway, I think I've got all the info anyone could possibly need. So instead of asking for info, I thought I'd just ask if my current intel is all correct? Here's my current notes.
Cartagena:
Stay in clock tower (Torre Del Reloj) old city area.
Beaches:
1. Playa Blanca- (1 hour away from Cartagena)- No chicas.
2. Playa Hollywood (Only buy a chair from a guy named "Fao", keep asking for him. Watch out for a dude named "Tony", everyone hates him on the forums LOL) - Beach has a few chicas.
3. Isla De Rosario- (1 hour boat ride away)- No chicas.
Chicas:
1. 'Monumento Torre Del Reloj' Clock Tower - (Best prices with negotiation, the most women, best place in town for getting women. Gets busy around 11 pm. Offer 150 k for 1. 5 hrs & 200-250 k for the best looking.).
2. New 'La Dolce Vita' in Old Town - (Most expensive girls and drinks. Have drinks, watch them dance, and get girls numbers for later or get them outside the door. Some of the same girls or better can be had at the clock tower).
3. Isis Club - (4. Pley club - (200 k - 40 minutes).
5. Bar Tu Candela - (After Hours Disco: Morros.
So that's what I've taken from RTTF LOL. Is this all a newbie needs to know? I didn't get any prices for Isis, Pley Club & Bar Tu Candela but that's not really important I guess. But I definitely don't want to be the guy overpaying and raising the price. So if my numbers are off, let me know. I'm also trying to add Medellin into the trip but I'm having the worst time trying to book on the Avianca Colombian site with my US card. Anyone have these issues? I'll definitely write a report when I return. I like how the Cartagena forum is not full of clutter, so I'd love to contribute. Thanks in advance.

Stay by the clock tower? Not a lot of places right there. No nice hotels that I know of, a couple of 1 hour places but that's is all I have seen. The nicer hotels are closer to Plaza Santa Domingo and areas running a bit closer to the water if you wanted to stay inside the old city. Most people that I know myself included prefer to stay out in Bocagrande.
As Yippie said Tu Candela has a reputation for having some working girls inside (and they do) there are just not that many of them. But just step outside and you can see the girls right there by the clock tower.
Tinder is also an option to work while you are hanging out.

Avianca was used to put a lot of problems with cards issued out of Colombia, but not anymore, at least in my case (European VISA or Mastercard).

Prices were a lot different in the past, for those connecting from USA or Europe versus for those in Colombia (I remember when a call center operator insisted to ask me where I was in that moment. I said "Medellin", but I was in Europe, then I got the lowest price. Those times are gone).

LDV is a disco bar, where all girls are working girls. You know that (and you have all eyes on you when you enter). It's not a strip bar, but yes you can start watching girls.
Forget ISIS.
If you want to go out of the town and do not mind to take a taxi, you can try Pley Club (LOL, yes written like that), but do not forget there is also Casa del Rocio. Those who are really adventurous, can venture to the bars at Bomba del Amparo, but it's not for everyone and certainly aimed to locals.
Tu Candela? See above, but then consider also VIP and EIVISSA in the same Plaza.
You want something more upscale? Try Babar and Fragma, but only on Friday and Saturday, and be careful: only few girls may be working. Most are accompanied by their handsome friends.
I'm staying in Cartagena from a Sun-Wed then flying to Medellin, so I hope the scene is decent these days.

Choosing where you are buying the tickets makes a significant difference in price for domestic flights on Avianca. Also COPA if flying to San Andres. When choosing the language beside it you can choose Colombia. The prices are shown in pesos, not dollars or Euros. International flights do not matter.

That was 100% true time ago, as I wrote in my last post. Last time I checked, the prices were not so different between Colombia and USA / Europe, so I thought that the policy might have been changed, but I admit I did not check in these weeks. It' worth to check again.
however, there are two problems:
1) The [URL]avianca.com[/URL] server does recognize where the IP of the user is located and enforces the web site accordingly = I cannot select the country anymore, only the language.
The only solution for this is using a VPN with server in Colombia, but it is not easy for everyone.
2) Even if I could select the country in Colombia, then, when I tried to pay with my credit card issued in my home country in Europe, my credit card was rejected. The payment system checked if the card was from the same country where the client was located. To complete the payment, I had to switch to the higher prices of the European web site, or passing by Expedia, etc. (yes, with the high prices). This was certainly true one year ago, but again it would be worth investigating again.
My 5 cents.

If one does not know where ISIS, LDV, SPACE or whatever place is near the Reloy, why not to ask to a guy who sells beers? They are everywhere and happy to help just to be kind with a potential customer.

From what you write, I understand your starting point is inside the walls, facing the main entrance of the clock tower. Then, instead of looping:
1) rotate yourself 180° (now you have the main entrance at your back)
2) walk to the extreme right of the long porch (now you are at point (A) which I marked above)
3) take the street which goes straight orthogonal respect to the porch, 1 block, then right, 2 blocks
There you are: LDV and Space side to side. You cannot miss that, because there will be taxi and people waiting, besides the doormen.
[QUOTE=HotRockIt;1977272]Thats what's happening now. It won't let me book on the Colombian site with a USA card. Its $72 (but in pesos) round trip on the Colombian site, $260 round trip on the US site. Major difference. But I think it'll work on Kayak like at Soldierb11 said, going to try later today.[/QUOTE]Sorry to disappoint you, but when I tried to find a web site presenting the prices offered by Avianca to Colombia, I could not find ANY except one which was Colombian actually. I tried several (Lastminute, Expedia, Orbit, and others) BUT NOT Kayak. So, just try.
At the end, I called the call center of Medellin from my office phone. I declared to be in Medellin and that I was calling using an international roaming service to justify my home country number. I had to spend quite a lot of time to insist that I have the right to pay using a European credit card, even if I am in Medellin. On the other hand, the operator applied the Colombia price to whoever was in Colombia (was he poorly instructed? Even if foreigner. He insisted to know WHERE I WAS IN THAT MOMENT, not where I was from. The procedure to pay was tedious and lengthy to say the least. It took me 45 minutes! What is my home phone number, my address, my contacts, and much more.

Girls go to work to CTG not because they like to fuck handsome (really?) strangers, but because they are in deep shit and need money for their families or babies. I don't think such a girl would opt for partying the Carnival instead.

I had heard from several sources it was amazing and was arguably the 2nd,3rd, or 4th best carnival / Mardi gras depending on how much you liked Curacao or New Orleans. I was not impressed with the city, the beaches and definitely carnival was not what I imagined. In 2016 I finally made it to carnival in Rio and it is everything you think it might be. The difference between Rio and New Orleans was the same as major league baseball player and maybe a guy from single A ball. Barranquilla that was like high school ball. Go to Rio for carnival sometime!
As for flights, I have also used vivacolombia booking both here in the states and last minute tickets from Medellin to Cartagena and never had a problem. I've never used them on their Fort Lauderdale to Colombia flights but their intra country ones have been fine.

Enter the plaza by the clock tower, then veer diagonally to your right. Walk past the big statue until you get to the first corner. (This should be "A" in BlackPage directions.).
Veer slightly left at this first corner continuing one block to the next corner. Then turn right. LDV is about half a block down.
Pan comido.

Merry Christmas to all girls who are still working in CTG and who will be at Reloy or at their club also tonight, away from their families even on Christmas eve.
I know a couple of them, who told me they were not planning to return, because they still need to gather enough money.
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;1968070]Do they fuck you on the luggage? I'm looking at Viva right now for an Christmas trip. Christmas is usually crazy expensive.[/QUOTE]No bag fee. The $50 round trip (Cartagena to Medellin) fare included one checked bag each way. The exchange rate was good when I went, so prices may vary.

This is a copy of one of the tickets I just bought.
This is almost cross-posting, I apologize for that, but I cannot refrain to repost here, where they belong, two photos I previously posted in the MDE thread.
Yes, why did I post them there? I am not sure. It happened. Sorry for that.
However, I feel that most ones will forgive me for cross-posting and repeating, when they will look at these pix. Enjoy.

Cartagena, 4 am 11 Dec 2016. Life can be good.
[B]Girl No. 2[/B]
Cartagena, 8 pm 14 Dec 2016.
I met this girl near Reloy around 7pm. She really looked the Lol-ita of the famous movie: little evil doll, fake innocent angel face, killing tits, and long braid till almost the butt. She asked me 80k for 1 hour (the going rate in CTG for girls at Reloy is 200k now, seldom downgradable to 150k). She gave her best, really the best, after I counter-offered 100k [I]"si la pasamos rico"[/I] (yes, I like negative negotiation).
I am not for quickies during day time, because I like to operate at night, possibly in my room for all the night, but I could not miss such an opportunity: I almost skipped my dinner to go to Sol De Las Indias around 8pm with her before going back home, to shower and get ready for dinner and my night, after a day of walks around.
Hold on, all those with age concerns: she looks Lol*ita, but her cedula says 21yo, confirmed by her Facebook page (we can trust more Facebook than a cedula in Colombia). She has a small baby (pix on Facebook ), but no husband. And this is the problem, not her age. Why no husband?
Because (according to what she told me while in my arms) SHE HAS A HUSBAND, BUT he is in jail, sentenced 3 years after having attempted to rob someone with a knife. AAARGHHH...!! I better be careful with her. After she told me that, I could only notice that yes, she had some wild eyes like the sexy girlfriend of a pandillero, not to speak about her tattoo on the back.
In her words: they (she, he, the baby) went to CTG to meet some relatives, but no money for them and the baby, hence the robbery attempt, hence, after he got jailed, her work at Reloy as an alternative way to self-sustain her with the baby.
Yes, I don't like just fuck-fuck-fuck. I like to know people. That's the most interesting part of traveling.
[QUOTE=BlackPage;1979408]Yes, I don't like just fuck-fuck-fuck. I like to know people. That's the most interesting part of travelling.[/QUOTE]I agree, but, they try to get too close, then the familiarity brings on the constant requests for help.
[QUOTE=NakedGunz;1979744]I agree, but, they try to get too close, then the familiarity brings on the constant requests for help.[/QUOTE]Given the dynamics of the relationship with a working girl, that's pretty common. In my years of mongering in Latin America I've only met one provider who didn't ask for cash when I was away. You should set limits you are comfortable with early on and always explain them as a positive. So if you will not send her money when you are away, simply tell her you will visit often and help her when you're with her, but you won't be sending any money. Trust me, if she gets mad and stops talking to you it's a good thing because that's bunny boiler behavior. Chances are you'll see her again if you got to the same mongering spot anyway.
My most recent "wife" experience ended up with her buying some really tacky necklaces with "I love. " and our names on each. It turned me off so much I don't talk to her anymore. I don't want a hooker girlfriend. I want a mistress.
As for the life of a sugar daddy, I tried that once for almost a year and while it was rewarding sexually, it was full of drama. I'm not eager to do that again anytime soon.
It's all a hustle. If you keep things in perspective when these requests for money come in you should be prepared for it. Winning in this game is getting what you want for the least amount of effort and money.
I'll be in Cartagena in a few weeks and was wondering, are there any real quiet beaches without the army of annoying touts?
[QUOTE=NakedGunz;1979744]I agree, but, they try to get too close, then the familiarity brings on the constant requests for help.[/QUOTE]Totally true, although I am more used to that from my girlfriends from Indonesia, rather than those from Colombia.
Maybe I chose my girlfriends better than YK <grin> , but I remember only a couple of cases of Colombian girls who asked me to send them some money via WU. Of course, I sent only to one ($100) and I denied all other requests.
I entertained conversation via WhatsApp with many of them for a long time, and even now I am writing to four, and I sent Merry Christmas to maybe ten. None of them had the courage to ask me to send money. Overall, I met a lot of nice girls, hidden in a crowd of sharks.
Asking money via WU is much more common in Indonesia. They find natural that a friend or lover supports them. (I sent some money, but usually no more than some phone top-up).

Being a sugar daddy of a girl who works in CTG? No thanks :-)
Conversely, I have brought some gifts to girls in Indonesia and in Colombia.
Probably at Isla Baru, but I am not sure.

[/QUOTE]I must disagree strongly with you here. In my experience, it's almost always downgradable to 150 K, especially now with the influx of desperate chicas from Venezuela. I'm talking about hot girls here too, not skank. Skank can be had at the torre for less than 100 k easily, but I'm talking about the hot ones.
4 out of 5 at least will agree to 150 k. I hate to see us accept to the 200 k asking price, because as soon as we do, the next stop is 250. Then after that 300. Then after that... I think you see my point.
What does it hurt to counter offer 150? You think you're going to offend them? Just tell them the most you can pay is 150, for most of them they're glad to get it.

I agree 100% with how to handle those requests (which are so easy to make for them when they have your Whatsapp). I just tell them I can't send them any money, but I'll be glad to help them when I'm with them in person. The tough part is when they tell you they haven't even got money for food. Then you have to make a judgement call.
Isla Baru and Playa Blanca have become filled with vendors now from what I've heard. If you want peace and quiet, try the beaches at Castillogrande. There are vendors there too but not nearly as many as the beaches in Bocagrande.

My previous sugar baby's boyfriend told me she routinely hits up her customers for money and buys shit for him like a new cell phone. He even thought it was kinda fucked up the way she would lie to people. Now that takes effort.

Just tell them the most you can pay is 150, for most of them they're glad to get it.[/QUOTE]Did I say I did not counter offer 150 k? I did, in all cases. And, in most cases, I changed girl until I found one I liked and accepted 150 k. Still, the majority I "interviewed" stuck to 200 k. It should be noted, anyway, that I was not proposing to go to a hotel nearby for a quickie, but to relax in my apartment.
Hence my statement, based on my personal experience in November and December 2016, which I confirm:
"the going rate in CTG for girls at Reloy is 200k now", that is, 200k is the standard fee requested by 95% of girls at Reloy, almost independently on their beauty;
" seldom downgradable to 150k", that is, most girls I interviewed did not accept the downgrade and confirmed that 200k was the rate.
(I showered well all times before venturing to probe the market....)
I think you're well off friends live in a right wing dreamworld. The only welfare cheques getting cut are for actual victims of war who have to go through mountains of bureaucracy for that huge $150 stipend.
Here in Valledupar I have 4 employees - 1 at home (800 mil / mth) and 3 at my farm (400 mil / mth each + room / board). 6 days a week. Holidays off.
Haven't been to Cartagena in ages but here my temp GF's get 120 mil for a few hours-evening depending on my commitments.

Normally when I tell one "no", I imagine in my mind her boyfriends disappointed face. The judgement call I was referring to was whether or not you choose to believe them.
I was indeed talking about Playa Hollywood, full of chicas and scenery to look at, but full of vendors too. If you take a girl with you to the beach, I'd go to Castillo Grande or down around the Hilton Hotel area.

I still say in most instances, 150 k should be the target price. If everybody stuck to that we'd all pay less.

My friend went to Cartagena from Bogota and suffered sticker shock. Instead of nice places like Pussy House you have every girl in the street asking $200 k and settling for $150 k maybe. The heat means your hotel should have air conditioning which adds maybe $30 per night to the cost. Why not recognize that Cartagena is a ripoff, or if not, simply that it is way more expensive than Bogota or Medellin for women? It does have old forts, ambiance and a sort of a beach. But for that I go to Livingston, Guatemala.

I've honestly seen apartments in Bocagrande on airbnb for $75 a night with AC. They didn't look great though. I'm fine paying $125 a night for a nice place facing the sea. Hotels? Don't bother. None of them look especially worth it.
It is significantly cheaper to visit a casa in Bogota or Medellin. You can go to casas in Medellin and pay 60 k for an hour (but it's likely a real shit hole). The higher end ones go up to 120 k+ for an hour (Energy for example). But these are brothels. You go in. You slip on a condom. You usually get a mechanical treatment.
If you go to the back pages in Medellin you're looking at 150 k to 200 k. Recent posts in the Medellin thread mentioned 150 k for girls at the Mansion up to 200 k. Of course we're seeing reports of people paying significantly more but whatcha going to do.
In Cartagena at the clock tower you're looking at 150 k to 200 k for an hour. If you have game you can probably get significantly less should you wife up. I paid 300 k a DAY to a girl for four days to live with me while I fucked her bareback as much as I wanted. The additional expense was dining out, and buying her some clothes for less than $100. Worth every penny. She'd wake me up in the middle of the night and beg me "dami leche, papi. " Shit like that makes me loco.
The point is, if you want to save money, hit up a shit hole in Bogota or Medellin where all the locals go. If you want something more exclusive you can find it in Cartagena, because most of the girls are from Medellin, and wouldn't mind spending some quality time enjoying what the city has to offer. And if you've got a bit of game then they would rather get 300 k a day, than stand around bored at the clock tower hoping to get 200 k to 400 k that day.
The only place that compares to Cartagena is Panama City but you're paying between $100 to $200 USD for girls there. I'll take a look at the Guatemala forum since you mentioned it's a good beach destination.

You want to wife up and go bb and are willing to pay $300/ day for it. Others are happy spending $25- $30 per night for a nice apartment in Bogota or Medellin, spending $125- $150 for TLN with a stunner, and save $100/ day.
Then there are those who find a cheap hotel and get everything they want for under $100/ day.
Personally, I like option 2. I really don't want to be the 12th man in, with the bedbugs and crabs taking up residence.
The first choice sounds good until I remember I'm allergic to many of the more effective antibiotics. Besides, for $30 more I can get the same thing in Las Vegas.

Personally, I like option 2. I really don't want to be the 12th man in, with the bedbugs and crabs taking up residence.
The first choice sounds good until I remember I'm allergic to many of the more effective antibiotics. Besides, for $30 more I can get the same thing in Las Vegas.[/QUOTE]Your numbers seem off. Are you saying I am paying 300 USD a day and you can get 30 USD a day at Las Vegas.
No. But Las Vegas does not have legal prostitution sir.
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;1982891]Your numbers seem off. Are you saying I am paying 300 USD a day and you can get 30 USD a day at Las Vegas.
No. But Las Vegas does not have legal prostitution sir.[/QUOTE]You said you paid $125/ day for lodging, plus 300,000 per day to the chica ($100) plus spent $100 buying stuff for her (100/4= $25). Figure roughly $50/ day for food for 2, and that's about $300 per day.
"For $30 more" is $330 (I can run through the math again if you want). That's a $500 for a 5 night stay including rt air, which we'll value at $250 for the room, or $50/ night. Add in $30 daily for meals. That leaves $250 for an enjoyable visit from one of the many, illegal, but nobody cares, prostitutes, which can usually be found without leaving the hotel.
And I can save $500 on airfare.
What I'm trying to say is that there is no "best" place, or best way to monger. As long as you're happy with the results, that's all that matters. We each have different likes, different priorities and different budgets. If we all had to have exactly the same thing, there would be a huge line and one very rich and very worn out hooker.
Cartagena is way more expensive than BOG and MDE, yes, but it's like comparing apples to oranges. It's really not just "go to MDE if you want it cheaper".
In CTG it's impossible to find a gem in the street, who asks just 20 k and gives you everything and more if you promise 50 k. It's not immediate, not easy, but I found that more than once in MDE and also in BOG. Conversely, I am really annoyed by those cold girls who demand 200 k for 1 hour and very basic service at Reloy.
BUT, CTG is much more than that! It's a lovely city. The Centro is amazing. The smile of the local ladies is killing me every time. With some effort, I can find a girl with whom I have good chemistry, spend a lovely night dancing in clubs, have a drink at Cafe del Mar, then in my room. I never paid more than 400 k for that, most commonly 300 k, sometimes just 200 k (and the girl was with me from 11 pm till 8 am-10 am).
My opinion is that if I overpay, or I give big money thinking that the girl is a super, then what I get is, at best, a good service. If I pay a bit less than average, then I am sure that the girl has also some other reason to stay with me than just money. There is always the time to add a tip later, because she needs that.
In CTG, I pay my apartment 75 USD / day, and it is a very good one in Bocagrande (being a returning customer who always behaved well, never vandalized the rooms, never made scandal in the condo, etc, surely helps a lot to get a favor treatment from the renter). The same rate is more or less what I pay for the Sheraton in MDE. I think a hotel at the level of Sheraton in CTG is 150 USD and up.

There are a few counties in Nevada where prostitution is legal, they are sparsely populated areas. Prostitution isn't legal in Las Vegas or Reno, but it's easily accessible.
Las Vegas isn't what it used to be. There was a time when $50/ day got a deluxe room a huge breakfast, and steak and lobster for lunch and dinner and another $100 got your pick of all the models, dancers and starlets who were hoping to be discovered. Everything fades over time.
There are many who prefer Cartagena, others like Medellin, Bogota or Cali. There are even those who prefer the second tier cities. It doesn't need to be an argument. Cartagena is the greatest place, if you prefer Cartagena. Medellin or Bogota is the greatest, if one of those better suits you.
Whether you are wifing up or only get 15 minute quickies, as long as you're happy with it, then that's what you should do.
And then share the things you've learned.

You know alot, but not alot about Guatemala. For action, the capital, Guatemala is the only destination. Back in the day, Jocotenango outside of Antigua was an undiscovered gem, but it's no longer a gem.
Livingston is a sort of reggae or black town on the coast, an anomaly in these Spanish-speaking countries. English is spoken. There is a great trip up Rio Dulce, and back, which is a must. You can get to Livingston from Puerto Barrio, Honduras. Maybe there is a boat, for the adventurous, from Colombia, say Cartagena to Livingston.
But the trip up Rio Dulce is a must for Central American travelers. Take your awn tang (TYAT).

[QUOTE=BlackPage;1977489]There you are: LDV and Space side to side. You cannot miss that, because there will be taxi and people waiting, besides the doormen.[/QUOTE]I missed this thread. So I had a tout take me to the "new" LDV only to realize it is not so new. A girl confirmed that the LDV in Laguito closed and this was the new one. However, this place existed around the time Space opened! It was always a first stop for me because Space had a 20 k cover and didn't get hopping until 4 am. It is a smaller spot and it does not seem like all the girls from the old LDV went over.
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;1982758]Accommodations in Cartagena will cost more because it's a tourist town, but you could rough it and find cheap apartments. I've honestly seen apartments in Bocagrande on airbnb for $75 a night with AC. They didn't look great though. I'm fine paying $125 a night for a nice place facing the sea. Hotels? Don't bother. None of them look especially worth it.
It is significantly cheaper to visit a casa in Bogota or Medellin. You can go to casas in Medellin and pay 60 k for an hour (but it's likely a real shit hole). The higher end ones go up to 120 k+ for an hour (Energy for example). But these are brothels. You go in. You slip on a condom. You usually get a mechanical treatment.
If you go to the back pages in Medellin you're looking at 150 k to 200 k. Recent posts in the Medellin thread mentioned 150 k for girls at the Mansion up to 200 k. Of course we're seeing reports of people paying significantly more but whatcha going to do..[/QUOTE]This was a good read. I've read quite a lot of pages on here and it seems that if you have a bit of game, you will do well in Cartagena and Medellin. I quite fancy the idea of wifing up with girls a day here or there. Wouldn't mind having two to myself and stay with me when I visit in September. Is bareback common?
Also you mentioned accommodation on airbnb. I've seen some nice places in Cartagena at decent prices with pools. The privacy compared to a hotel would be ideal. But I wanted to ask if there are nice hotels which have a lot of girls hang out in and around the hotel pool throughout the day. I guess similar to Mansion in Medellin but without making overly obvious that caters for that service so to speak.

The other sad story is about Elektra, by far the best place for me in the old Cartagena. Its role is now taken by Space, populated after 3 am and peaking at 4 am. But very different in style and environment. The patio was awesome, where to relax and chat with some girls, even to eat a pizza.

Places with pools? Be sure before booking that they accept you bring girls there. Some condominium has a nice pool, but oriented to families.
Try to bring a noisy girl and they will kick her out, or simply the doormen will say "sorry the pool is not for visitors" just because he might think she does not fit well there.
(I was in a good condominium in Bocagrande, I had the idea to invite a couple of my girls with me to the pool, I called the renter and he said "ok because I know you and you don't make troubles, but be sure they are decent or they will ask you to leave or will complain with me".)
There is a famous condo in Bocagrande where they even place a colored bracelet to all regular guests (registered renters). Nobody is allowed to enter the premises without the bracelet. This is done on purpose to AVOID strictly any kind of occasional visitor.

Just say no to hotels in Cartagena. Since I always wife up I could probably get away with it but I choose the apartments because it is far less likely to cause trouble. It's all about appearances.

Sad to read LDV closed up in El Laguito.

This is a joke or what?? ELEKTRA is going to open again and in the same location where it was??
As you probably know, but to clarify just in case, Aldo was not managing the "new" LDV, nor did he manage the Laguito location for the 2nd half of 2016. He was relieved of his duties by the "boss".
I'll probably swing by the "new" Electra sometime before the end of this month to see what's shaking. Like you, and many others, I've had some fun times over the years at that spot.

Hello,
I'm in Cartagena next week and have a question. Given that sunset is at 6 pm, and bars are supposed to close their doors at 2 am, when do the chicas start heading to the clock tower? Is it still 9 pm or has anyone noticed it happening earlier?
One downside of Cartagena is how late the action is.

One downside of Cartagena is how late the action is.[/QUOTE]Very late. In my experience the best ours are around 11:30 to midnight to 1:30 am, don't push too far.
[QUOTE=Questner;1988598]Very late. In my experience the best ours are around 11:30 to midnight to 1:30 am, don't push too far.[/QUOTE]Totally true, but with a caveat. The new regulations imposed by the new mayor have changed things a bit.
I understood that bars NEAR THE SQUARE have to close at 2am. Others don't. For example, Babar and Fragma close at 4am (but they are open only at weekends). Tu Candela seems to have agreed a compromise with the police: they close the front door, but they open the back door.
Space is two blocks away, but (I don't understand this) should close at 2 am anyway. Thus, at 2 am they lower the shutter and leave people come and go raising it. Please note: Space is alive only 3am-6am. You might remember my report some months ago, when I wrote about the police coming on a Saturday night at 2am to shut it down.
Another sad thing is Eivissa, the coolest bar IMHO just one year ago, with its terrace oulooking the Reloy, dance entertainment, DJs, flame throwers, etc. The hotel nearby complained for the noise and they shot the terrace down. Now Eivissa has only indoor space. Not the same thing.
Sorry for the digression. I go back to the topic. The new regulations imposed by the new mayor have changed things a bit. Supposedly, the 2am closing time was decided to calm things down in the area (vox populi in the Square). I think he believes that it is not a good image for the city to have all that night life and the girls going around at night.
Now, what is the result? What was the only reasonable outcome of imposing all bars to close at 2am?
Before, the peak time to meet girls in the square was until 1:30am or 2am, as you say.
Now, at 2am all girls that were in the bars SWARM OUT to the square. LOL
As a matter of fact, I have never seen so many girls standing in the square at 3am or 4am as in November and December 2016. Crowded. So, plenty of opportunities even so late. The square got depleted only after 4am. At 5am, there was still some TV (not my cup of tea).
I'll report back after my trip on what hours are kept at the clocktower. In November I recall seeing them around 9 pm but I was wifed up so there was little I could do.
I'm not too keen on picking up street meat at 11 pm to 1 am.

One downside of Cartagena is how late the action is.[/QUOTE]My secret; sleep in late!:)
Me and my buddy have been in Cartagena for a week now. Mainly orienting by outdated information from wiki-sex-guide, we decided to rent an apartment in Boca Grande. The club "La Dolce Vita" got closed down in this area to be reopened in the inner city of Getsemani just in walking distance from the clock tower. There are few chicas left to sell their pussy around the road of ST. Martin (Carrera 2 in Bocagrande), but not really worthwhile for mongering. I would estimate the number of chicas available between 5 and 10, spread between calle 4 and 6. Available between 9 pm And around 1 am Becoming fewer until 3 am. Prices range about 100 K Pesos, which is just the same as at the clock tower.
The quality of women at the clock tower is way better though. We've had a hand full of girls that we mainly got from there. Timing was as described in the earlier posts. We'd arrive beteen 9 pm and 11 pm, and leave with some nicely handpicked chicas around 12 pm and 1 am. They usually ask for 200.000 or 150.000 for one hour of standard sex. But up to now they all agreed on coming with us at 100.000 each after a short time of bargaining. Compared to Sosua the girls are more beautiful, less obnoxious and in a better shape. But they tend to pull the same standard shit, which is:
Brag that the hour is over after only half an hour, which can easily be met by showing the meta data of pictures we took before starting the sessions.
Trying to ask a higher price then the one agreed up front.
Actively asking for propinas at the end.
All of this doesn't cause any problems as long as you stand your ground and stick to correct business and gentleman behavior.
All together we are happy with the selection of chicas available at the clock tower. As we will have to fill another 3-4 weeks, we are now looking for further locations for mongers on a budget. Are there any other mongering spots in Cartagena where we can find girls at a maximum of 100 k pesos?

You could try asking around about casas (brothels). But if you're looking for dirt cheap prices like that your best bet is one of the casas in Medellin where you can get an hour for 60 k. Or Bogota if you go digging around that thread.

Take the time to browse back, even months or years. A couple of hours can give all the basics. I cannot refrain to repeat this and repeat to everyone: take the time to read here. You can find long reports and also short notices that save from errors. There is also the List in the companion thread. And do not forget the RoD if you want to have a look at older reports without browsing hundreds of pages.
BTW, the block where now LDV is is not in Getsemani. There have been a couple of posts in recent times which explain well the new setup and the club scene.
It's very good you negotiated hard enough to keep prices low and do not overpay, but I am not surprised girls tended to be rushy and pestered for tips. When a girl requests the standard fee 200k and gets convinced to settle down for 100k, it is quite natural. The only girls who will go for you for 100 k or less, easily, are outside the Reloy, or in Av. San Martin in Bocagrande, or in outside barrios where you don't know where to move around.

1) good places are expensive (Casa del Rocio charges 250 k or more, if I remember well?

The easiest way to let readers know where the new spots are is just to put their GPS coordinates. Take a look at Google Earth and post it.

[QUOTE=XXXXX]Is there actual action in the bars in Cartagena for P4P? I'm not referring to LDV. I noticed you said at 2 am girls swarm out of the bars then onto the square. Are they coming from clubs like Space and Elektra?[/QUOTE]
Elektra was the best place many years ago. Now it's history. Gone. R.I.P.
It was the place open only after midnight and animated from 3 am till 6 am. All girls who did not find company till 3 am where there. Search my posts for details about my experience there. You can find something about my experience in Elektra searching back from 2017 to maybe 2008.
Recently, we have read about an "Elektra" opening in the SAME PLACE in 2017. I cannot wait to go and check. Who knows they try to revive it?
Space it's a disco bar, where 95% of people is men looking for girls and working girls looking for clients. At the side of Opera/LDV. Search my various posts for details about what do I think about it. I say "search", because I mentioned it many times and I don't remember if there is a post where I posted a summary in Wikipedia style.
Space follows the same time plan of the old Elektra: empty till 3 am, animated till 6 am.
So, from what bars do working girls swarm out at 2 am?
All bars. There is not a rigid separation between bars for working girls and mongerers and bars for regular couples. People mixes.
For example, you can find some (a minority actually) working girls at Cafe del Mar, at Mr. Babilla, at Fragma, at Babar. Best places near Reloy are Tu Candela, Eivissa, V. I. P.
One should not go there thinking to go to Pleyclub. One should pay a visit with a relaxed mind. Enjoy a drink, offer drinks if an interesting girl is spotted. I met some very interesting girls at Babar and Fragma, but not in recent months. I know many girls oscillate from Reloy to VIP and Eivissa then back. After 2 am, quiet girls go to bed, wilder ones (or those more in need) go to Space. It' always full after 3 am.
Was looking to explore Sao Paolo but given the crazy airfares from Toronto, I might have to settle for either Cartagena or Bogota. Based on what I have read on both forums, the two cities have their own points of interest.
I have been frequenting Havana and Panama City until now so kind of used to the bar pick up scene.
That said, what would you recommend?

Bogota is much cooler, nights down to 10°see, days seldom over 23°see. There the action is mostly strip clubs, casas and massage parlors, with plenty of day and night streetwalkers, although those areas are best avoided at night.
CTG is a beach city, casual dress is pretty standard. Minimum dress standards for BOG are good jeans and a nice shirt, preferably with some reasonable shoes. You won't see many natives wearing short sleeve shirts or t-shirts.
Both are good choices, depending on what you're looking for.
Thanks. Read the first 14 pages of the forums and looks like CTG will be a go unless there is a last minute change. If all is a go, we will be there from Feb. 15-19 with a layover in Panama City to warm up.
Based on forum, we should be getting an apartment in Bocagrande which is about 4 km away from the clock tower. Most vets have recommended to game there at night and possibly the mall and beach during the daytime. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Is there anybody else in town those days? Would love to meet up and engage in ultimate debauchery!

Try to scroll back more, not all in one day of course, but especially explore the RoD section. Many good informative posts are linked there. Not necessary, but certainly useful.
Have fun! Best wishes.
RoD seem quite old for CTG. Not able to find anything from 2015 or later.
I will continue to go through all pages but wonder if info from 2 years or earlier would bring any value considering how things evolve. Will give it a shot anyway.

I have translated an article from the Cartagena newspaper El Universal. Might want to keep this in the back of your mind for future actions by the city. Not all of this article pertains to many on here but it does show the city's view of activities goin on in their city.
"When speaking of the Historic Center of Cartagena, surely, many imagine a quiet place that inspires peace, squares and parks where people can walk and walk freely and without restrictions. Enjoy family and recreational activities, sports or cultural. However, the panorama of the city is not so. The reality of these emblematic squares is completely different.
"Street vendors harass tourists, drug sales and dirt, which emanate a horrible smell, make this part of the city, so pretty, lose its charm. The architecture, the streets, the houses are spectacular, but I think they should take better care of their city. ".
With these words, a tourist expressed herself before the platform Tripadvisor. Destined for the reservation of passages and places of interest for trips. Of its visit by the Heroic one.
Probably not the only tourist and Cartagena who sees the city as a 'beautiful shame', which highlights the lack of authority and in which everyone does with it what suits them best.
Faced with this problem, which overwhelms both coterrneos and visitors, in December last year, the Mayor of Cartagena launched decree 1751, which prohibits the consumption and sale of liquor in four recognized places in the walled city until the March 31 this year. In addition, the rumba of the establishments located in the squares and its surroundings is only allowed until 2 in the morning.
"All this in order to guarantee the security of Cartagena and that public spaces, such as squares and parks of the city, are used for family enjoyment in tranquility, and without any kind of affectation by the consumption of intoxicating drinks or by Situations that incite intolerance, such as quarrels or vandalism, "said Fernando Nio, interior secretary.
The measure shelters the Squares of Cars, La Paz, bordering the emblematic Clock Tower, and neuralgic points in terms of coexistence, sale of psychoactive substances and prostitution. On the other hand, the restriction houses the Camelland of the Martyrs, between the walled cord and the district of Getseman.
However, although restrictive decrees, lightning operations, police intelligence, security cameras, night-time operations against noise have been issued by the Environmental Public Establishment (EPA), among other measures, complaints of violation of the right to tranquility, Scandals and invasion of public space, continue to affect the inhabitants of La Heroica, which means that these places "have gone out of the hands of local authorities. ".
As you will recall, in January 2016 residents of the neighborhood complained to the District about the excesses of tourists and all kinds of visitors to the neighborhood, drug and alcohol consumption, and constant fights that were happening in La Trinidad. For this reason, the administration decided to restrict the control of these excesses for a year, and decree 0734, which prohibits the sale and consumption of liquors in this space, began on May 12.
In spite of the measures taken by the District in Getseman, there is again discontent among its inhabitants by the situation of the Plaza de la Trinidad and several of its streets.
In this tourist season, this historic sector of Cartagena returned the annoyance for some visitors from outside, who do not know how to behave, drink intoxicating drinks in the atrium of the Church, which bears the same name, and even sleep there, which shows That the ban is not entirely efficient.
According to Nio, since the decree was implemented there had been no problems with visitors to the plaza, but now in high season these events were again committed because the neighborhood merchants themselves are those who sell intoxicants to tourists.
In an interview with El Universal, the secretary made a call to the people of Cantabria: "We need greater commitment from the community to control public order in the square. Likewise, I thank the inhabitants of the neighborhood who voluntarily placed ads in several languages 8203;to make known the restriction of the sale of liquor.
In addition, said that to control the situation the historic square has four policemen, who care and watch over the tranquility of visitors and residents of the neighborhood.
If in La Trinidad it does not rain, in LOS Coches it does not climb.
Street vendors and stationary. Music: reggaeton, salsa and vallenato that exceeds the established decibels. Neon lights everywhere. Prostitution at certain times in specific places and micro-traffic late at night. That is the perfect description of the Plaza de LOS Coches, which is behind the Public Clock.
Fun or worry?
In the day, the emblematic square is the perfect place in which people from all strata relate to each other and at night, this 'quiet' place becomes chaotic and shattering.
From 7 pm the nightclubs and bars on the terraces of the old buildings light the atmosphere with sound equipment, exceeding the decibels allowed: 55 in the evening and 60 in the daytime, disturbing the tranquility of the inhabitants and hotel guests Nearby.
All this without mentioning that the plaza is considered, by the authorities, as a nerve center where microtraffic bands operate, and to top it off, it is the epicenter of child sex tourism, and prostitution is freely exercised.
Something similar happens in the Plaza de La Paz and the Camelland, because in these two places of recreation also presents the same conjuncture. Sales of fruits, food, juices, toys, handicrafts and others remain in this area adjacent to the Clock Tower and the Getseman neighborhood, despite the multiple operations of recovery of the public space, calls for attention and retention of the merchandise they make Daily authorities.
In the evening hours, groups of young people gather to consume psychoactive substances, and it is normal to see girls and teenagers sell their body until dawn.
Not so efficient solutions?
After complaints from Cartagena, the District, through the Environmental Public Establishment (EPA) and the Ministry of the Interior, have made multiple operations to avoid high decibels, but many night sites are ignored and continue to function until 4 or 6 in the morning.
It also increased the number of police presence on the site, improvement to the lighting of the space and the installation of a surveillance camera. These were the first measures announced by the District to control public order in the Plaza de LOS Coches, in the Historic Center.
"We must denounce anyone who comes to get child sex tourism to Cartagena, people have to help us, we can not allow the city to be seen as a drug and sex tourism site," said the mayor of Cartagena, Manuel Vicente Duque.
According to Javier Enrique Jaramillo Martnez, Mayor of the Historical Town and the North Caribbean, control operations are being carried out both to commercial establishments and to public space with the support of different entities, in order to supervise their activities and to comply with the Schedules allowed until 2 in the morning.
"We know that the Historic Center of Cartagena is the main attraction of the city and we have to take care of it, keep it like a silver cup. Prostitution is very difficult to control in these places because we do not have enough tools, but we already made contacts with cities like Medelland and Bogot where the issue is discussed to see how to eradicate the phenomenon in the city, "Jaramillo said.
Finally, within the next projects of the Mayoralty of the Historical Town and the North Caribbean, is to create several groups of dance and culture that will be supported economically by the establishments of the squares and Corpoturismo, to give life to the other parks from the city.
"This year the hiring was a record, because the budget was opened from the first week of January and priority was given to the public space brigade which is the main problem of these places," he said.
The traditional Plaza de San Diego, which is one of the most beloved by students, tourists and ordinary Cartagena, also suffers from the lease of public space.
This place where on Friday evenings, several people gather to chat and share some drinks until late, is no longer the same as before, because the numerous tables of restaurants, which are glued to the side of the square, Occupy almost all the land and it is impossible to walk freely through the site.
Also, the Students Square, whose recent occupation was not to the liking of the Cartagena or students, who insist that this space already fulfills a specific function, and that is a meeting place among students even though they are on vacation.
Carolina Lenes, the manager of Public Space and Mobility of Cartagena, went to the defense of all these leases, and assured that the Alma restaurant, which is in the square, has been licensed for 18 months but has not been occupied.
The license specifies that the term "is for the term of 24 months, extendable once, for a term of 12 months provided that it is requested within the previous 15 days, at the expiration of the same, and Subject to the provisions of Decree 1077 of 2015, "he explained to this media.
Finally, faced with the particular case of the Students' Square, he maintained that the squares can not be restricted to a population group only because it indicates its name. What will happen?
The truth is that in the Historical Center there are several places that are licensed for temporary occupancy of public space, to install tables and chairs in places where anyone has the right to be and move freely, issued by the Secretariat of District Planning, and contract Of economic use with the Management of Public Space and Urban Mobility. On paper, the subject of the squares is regulated, but the truth is that there is nothing landed.
The city urgently demands priority attention to these problems of excess noise, microtraffic, prostitution and consumption of alcoholic beverages for the tranquility of all.
It is expected that the new Police Code will comply with the laws, because it is inconceivable that all of the above should happen and that everything goes unnoticed.
All we have to do is ask: Will the people of Cartagena be able to use the parks and squares of their city without a single criticism? The current administration has responsibility at this time. ".
Hi all,
I visited Colombia in November it was my first time and I'm hooked. I have stated in Bogota and Medellin. I'm looking for some beach fun so I'm coming to Cartagena in 2 months. I heard the girls are more expensive? Does anyone know a good beach side hotel? I was looking at the Hilton but thought I'd ask on here first. I will RTFF to find out good spots to hangout.
Thanks all.

I will continue to go through all pages but wonder if info from 2 years or earlier would bring any value considering how things evolve. Will give it a shot anyway.[/QUOTE]Surprising enough, things did not change that much in CTG in the last few years, if not on marginal aspects which can be learned in the first day, at least from my own perspective. I think reading the RoD is still helpful. You will be not misled. Prices requested by girls are still the same. Places are still the same, with few exceptions:
- LDV moved to where Opera was, at the side of Space, and went further down on my ranking (mostly hardcore pros, used to deal with US tourists who do not mind pay more than usual).
- Space is the same as 2 years ago. Elektra is history (will it reopen?
- the scene at Reloy at night is the same as usual, with the difference that now it is lively till much later than 2 am (thanks to the Mayor who smartly forced bars to close at 2 am. CTG seems to have its own Trump);.
- there are more girls from Venezuela now;.
- the list of hotels on the List and their description in the RoD is still valid (check the motels if you want something different).
- same for the list of clubs out of the walls (but this is definitely not for a first-time visitor: there is enough to do and explore within the Centro and Bocagrande for many days before getting bored and feeling the mood to probe further).
- Europa changed owner a couple of times, closed down in November, not reopened. It's the only place open 24/24, but I would avoid it even in emergency. It's a trap.
[QUOTE=Otiers;1992086]I have translated an article from the Cartagena newspaper El Universal. Might want to keep this in the back of your mind for future actions by the city. Not all of this article pertains to many on here but it does show the city's view of activities goin on in their city.[/QUOTE]This article is a sound example of how the press at times helps the governments to increase the feeling of unsafety in population, in order to increase support to the "strong man", to tighter laws, etc. etc.
We see similar examples in several countries, last but not least Mr. Trump who is receiving kudos from the farmers and workers in the deep inner US for his ineffective and troublemaker new measures against immigrants and simple visitors. "Populism" consists basically of offering easy solutions to complex problems, pretending that others before were so ignorant to not understand that problems could be solved with a couple of quick measures.
On the one hand, it is certainly true that old Cartagena citizens are fed up with a type of tourism which floods the streets of el Centro and Getsemani. Drunk people and backpackers roaming the streets and making noise certainly are a problem. I also understand that for Colombian families and couples, coming to CTG to enjoy their honeymoon, seeing the Plaza de LOS Coches transformed, more and more year after year, in an outdoor open market for prostitution is certainly not a good sight.
The solution to close bars at 2 am and forbid alcohol consumption in selected areas makes sense to contrast noisy drunk youngsters, but it's certainly counter-effective if they wanted to move the "puteria" away. The obvious result is that at 2am all girls who were inside bars now move out and stand in the Square on their high heels, hoping to meet their gentleman. The fact is that I have never seen the Plaza de los Coches so much crowded after 3am as this November and December. Congratulations Mr. Mayor.
The repeated claim that CTG is a destination for "child tourism" is another lame attempt to impress or scare those readers who do not move their ass from the living room, where they watch TV and read newspapers. As anyone who is familiar with CTG knows well, now the problem of "child prostitution" is virtually non-existent in CTG (or not anymore as 10 years ago, when it must have been out of control based on my understanding). Institutions worked effectively to clean off the place.
There are certainly some u-age girls with fake cedula around, from Colombia and Venezuela (I elaborated enough already on what is the meaning of "fake cedula" in this context: usually a valid cedula bought on the black market with an old photo of a girl, which seems plausible as of the bearer upon a quick examination), but "u-age" means maybe one year less than 18, not certainly that there are poor street children or 13-14yo kids offered by their mothers. As a matter of fact, I have never seen obvious children lost in the streets of Cartagena, neither I was ever solicited by pimps for that, while it is somehow possible to see such sad situations in the alleys of big cities.
I guess one can always lure some girl from high-schools, as it happens in all Latin America, but that is out of the reach of the tourists. This year, the story of a couple bringing some 16 yo girls to entertain rich tourists during parties on islands made a lot of noise and people to jail. This is certainly not enough to claim that CTG is the place to go for "child tourism".
[QUOTE=TrueScotsMan;1992225] [red]I will RTFF[/red] to find out good spots to hangout. [/QUOTE]That's certainly a good intention to begin. Now, an improved strategy could be to RTFF [I]before[/I] posting questions, rather than after that.
Be happy: your questions " I heard the girls are more expensive? Does anyone know a good beach side hotel? I was looking at the Hilton but thought I'd ask on here first. " have been answered many times already and by different members, who provided different opinions and perspectives. You will have many options to choose among. The "Search" function (see button at top right of the page) also helps.
I just got back from Cartagena. Was there for a week. I will be rebooking for April / May. I hear it thins out a bit after La Semana Santa. I'm posting a summary here of the venues for the folks looking for recent info.
First off, [B]Elektra[/B] is back but I did not pay it a visit. I saw it on the last night I was there as I was heading back to Bocagrande from La Dolce Vida. The girl who was with me told me it does not have any hookers in it, and I should be visiting Space if I'm looking for girls after 3 am. The girl literally said, if we don't get a customer before 3 am we go to Space.
Secondly, who the fuck is paying 300 k-350 k per hour? That should be TLN price. Please, if you're doing that just stop. If a girl doesn't come with you for 150 k-200 k then just move onto the next one. Lots of these girls are bored most of the night anyway and will relent. All the girls I met started asking at 300 k or 350 k and that nonsense needs to stop. I can only think of three reasons for this:
(1) January has been good and they're all satisfied with their gains and want to relax, so they jack up the price.
(2) Venues like LDV pays them to be there (I don't know if this is true), as a result they show up and just play with their phones.
(3) Punters are just dropping way too much. January to March are busy months so I expect a lot of one off idiots to agree to high prices and ruin it for the rest of us.
(4) I'm too ugly to be fucked for less.
[B]Venues[/B]:
[B]Playas[/B]:
[B]Laguito/Playa Hollywood:[/B] I only went twice and hooked up with Edgar. He seemed to be using chairs with Fao's name on it. Edgar in my book is cool once I let him know I know the prices.
[B]Do[/B]: Let Edgar know you're looking for a girl. The selection both times was two or three girls to choose from. He might even call you a girl. If he calls you a girl expect the girl to ask for cab fare. Don't give more than 20 k if you turn her back.
[B]Don't[/B]: Let the girls order anything they want. Prices on local beers should be about 5 k, and prices on imports around 10 k. Cocktails like Pina Colada start to get expensive around 40 k. Please know these prices are subject to change. Touts will try to fuck you by getting the girls to order expensive drinks. Before you know it you're paying 200 k+ just to have drinks with them. Edgar didn't fuck me that way because I told him I'm not here to get fucked by him. Just ask the price on everything and insist on knowing the price if he dodges the question. Otherwise, Edgar is cool. Also, tipping is fucked with these guys. If you paid for 40 k, and leave him 10 k he just shrugs and nods. He expects a big fat tip at the end or you're not worth his time evidently. The second time I was there I paid 100 k for drinks and gave him 50 k. But it was my last night and he took care of me both times I went there.
The experience was surreal to say the least. When I told Edgar I want a girl he walks over with his stupid grin to some random chica on the beach, pokes her in the arm and then looks over at me with his stupid grin, hahaha. Then I'd nod or shake my head. The girls all asked for 300 k and appear to be from La Isla. You can negotiate them down but realize they may not be eager to work (more on that later).
[B]Bocagrande beaches[/B]: Touts here will also call you girls but they never seem to have them onsite. Expect to wait 1-2 hours for the chica to show up. Then expect to pay their cab fare if you turn them away. I had a group of touts bring me a couple of girls every morning and I'd decide whether to spend the day with them and fuck them after dinner, or not.
[B]Centro Venues[/B]:
Action starts around 11 pm in almost all locations. With that said action started at 10 pm Thursday for some reason. Venues like La Dulce Vida were packed that night. Expect Monday to Wednesday to be dead slow. So if you're going to pick a few nights to visit Thursday to Saturday night are the busiest in my book.
All the main action, outside of the Clock Tower square, is on Carrera 6/ Calle 35. This includes La Dulce Vida, Space, and Isis.
You can get there in three ways:
(1) There's always a tout in the Clock Tower square who will walk you there. Several touts actually. You don't need to give them anything. The establishments will pay them evidently.
(2) You can find it on a map like google maps (Carrera 6/ Calle 35).
(3) Juan Valdez is on the next street. So you can go there and take the first left when you reach it.
[B]Clock Tower Plaza:[/B]
Girls will start arriving around 11 pm and stand near the statue. The typical ones have blue jeans and a tank top. The others are dressed to impress. I had one pimp point to a girl next to him and offer her, she looked away embarrassed (I didn't bite). Honestly, the setup is a bit awkward so I did not partake.
[B]La Dulce Vida[/B]: Action starts around 11 pm. This is a hooker bar with stripclub pricing on the drinks. I visited it about four times during my stay. Most nights a couple of rounds for you and the girl will go over 100 k pesos which is the minimum if you decide to pull a girl from there. There's a ton of short-time hotels around Centro and the girls can take you there with a cab. Most of the chicas are lazy as hell and just sit around so you have to signal them. I'm not sure why but one chica even asked for 200 USD for an hour and she was a fat ass. I was chubby chasing. Normally I wouldn't go for 300 pounds of cheeseburger. Of course I turned her fat ass down but I plan on fucking her in April if she's still around. There's something honestly down right dirty about her I want to experience. If she allows anal + TLN I'd probably pay over going price but I'd want to work toward that after a couple of sessions. She's got this "fuck me I'm a filthy fat ass" look.
[B]Do[/B]: Enjoy yourself. Watch your bill. The staff won't fuck you but the girls will order drinks for their friends even when the friend isn't even sitting with you. The staff are friendly, but like most sex tourism venues in Cartagena they want to squeeze you for money.
[B]Don't[/B]: Get played. If a girl invites her friend over it will end with the friend asking for 20 k-40 k for her company if you decide not to take her with you. If paying by credit card pay the tip directly to the waiter in cash. On my final night I ran a tab of 400 k and offered him 'quaranta' for a tip (meaning 40 k) and he punched in 120 k like I had offered US dollars. Like I said, the venues around sex tourism are full of money squeezing touts, and these fuckers won't be happy with %10-%15.
[B]Isis[/B]:
This is a strip club on the same street as La Dulce Vita. It's further down close to Juan Valdez. Lazy ass girls, barely any dancing. I didn't pick anyone up. Search the forum for prices. You can fuck them on the premises for cheap or pay extra for take out. Honestly, I didn't see the point. Drinks are more expensive than La Dulce Vida.
[B]Space[/B]:
I didn't go because 3 am is too late for my old ass. This where the girls go to end their night. It's open until 6 am. Action starts around 3 am.
[B]Love Hotels[/B]:
Too many to list. Any girl will be able to take you to one.
[B]Outside Centro[/B]:
[B]La Isla[/B]: A stripclub like Isis. I didn't go. Just keep in mind this is outside of the tourist areas and you should be very careful going there. The girls who work there told me I shouldn't go alone. They also complained that it's dead.
Cartagena is a tourist place. Unlike Medellin there are extra costs around mongering activities but also more to do. If you're going to spend more than week in Colombia, then Medellin might be better. For vacation length stays Cartagena is perfect.
Will post about my experiences in the next post. Hope this helps!
I spent a week in Cartagena and it mostly went well. No wifing up this time. I arrived in Cartagena with one goal in mind. Fuck a fatty. I wanted a statuesque fatty with huge ass cheeks. My wish came true on the final night.
Here is my story wherein I will discuss my misadventures, encounters, barebacking success and disappointments.
The tout who knew me immediately spotted me leaving the apartment building in Bocagrande. The fucker could smell me a mile away. He gave me a big hug and asked me how I've been. He then invited me to sit down. I bought him a lemonade and shot the shit for a few with his buddies who quickly came to congregate. I noticed that the playas outside of Playa Hollywood are almost completely full of latino tourists or Colombians. The touts there probably don't earn as much and aspired to build something like Playa Hollywood.
He wanted to fuck me again on the bill so I told him I was going to Playa Hollywood for a bit, and he corrected the pricing. I gave him 10 k for a tip which was 30% and again he looked disappointed. Nonetheless I went to Playa Hollywood despite the touts insistence that I would be drugged and robbed by the chicas there. Haha.
At Playa Blanca I met Edgar and he rotated two chicas my way. Both appeared to be working at La Isla. Neither of them were the kind of fatties I wanted to fuck but the second one had an artificial ass and I thought I could satisfy my boner with her. She wanted 350 k. I flat out told her no. I told her on my last visit I had a girl for about that much live me with. She quickly relented and said she'd spend the rest of the day with me with that price. I told her I wanted bareback and she gave me a lecture on that. Then I noticed her painted on eyebrows and my boner started to fade.
I paid for the drinks and exchanged numbers with Edgar. Evidently a 20% tip was not to his liking but fuck it. I'll say this much about Edgar he never bugged me once while I was staying in Cartagena. The other tout would constantly message me with all kinds of shit.
I grabbed a bite to eat in Bocagrande and went back to my apartment. I thought about hitting the sack since I was tired from traveling, but in the shower Mr Happy rose up as I was thinking about the fatty I would fuck. I went to Centro around 9 pm.
Interestingly, a few hookers were walking around the Clock Tower plaza and were aggressively trying to get my attention. I instead walked around, bought some ice cream, and enjoyed the sites until about 10 pm. I found La Dulce Vida and Isis. Isis was full of bored girls. La Dulce Vida only had a handful. It was Wednesday night and things were slow. I drank a few beers and hung out with a Paisa chica, who had the sexiest way of talking. I bought some Aguardiente (sp) for us to drink while we talked about my experience in Medellin.
120 k later, we were back at my building, and the security guard who I knew, opened the glass doors and said: "Sir, what you do? He seemed worried. I looked over and the reception was manned by one angry looking woman. So I walked over smiling, and asked her what's wrong. Evidently the rules had changed. Now only registered guests could enter after 10 pm. I said sure, so register her. She said she could only do it if she spoke to the owner of the apartment.
Let me point out the owner of the apartment couldn't care less if I brought a T-Rex in with me. He wanted my money with minimal interruption. He was a sales rep for a company that rented out apartments in Bocagrande. But it was 1 am and I didn't think it was fair to wake the man up. After about 15 minutes of back and forth with the woman she registered the chica and let her come up with me.
I tried to go for bareback but the chica wasn't into it. She was kinda crazy. Kept showing me her facebook profile photos and obsessively wanted me to tell her which one was best. I worked my magic and got her to agree to 200 k for the hour. We fucked but I wasn't able to finish. She seemed to be enjoying it. I told her I'd give her another 100 k if we hit the sack and let me fuck her in the morning. She agreed, again spending another hour obsessiving over facebook. In the morning I slipped on a condom and drilled until miraculously I finished in her. But like the stupid bimbo that she is she tried to slip out mid-orgasim. This was the first leche of my trip, and it would take a while to empty my manhood out completely. This made me upset enough that when I paid her I refused a tip for taxi money.
I never saw her again and am glad for it.
I exchanged messages with the apartment owner who said he'd talk to the receptionist. He told me if I gave him the names of any girls then he would register them for me. The catch-22 is I'd have to message him during the day. The guy was trying to be accomidating but it was stil a pain in the ass.
I struck out to the beach in front of the building and told the tout to get me girl. In a half hour, as I was sitting at the bar sipping on a beer, a woman, dressed in a black evening dress, wearing a Guess watch and jewelery stepped out of a taxi and onto the sand. I was like "WTF? Even the tout was looking away. She smiled, and sat at my table. Within a few minutes I gave her 20 k and told her she had a long night and should really go home. The tout apologized and I said, look, just get me setup by the beach and let me know when I can rent a jet ski.
On the beach the tout showed up with two hotties. I'd say 23-25 years old. One had tits to die for. They both had great personalities. The tout took me aside and told me neither of them work in a casa or club. He made sure I understood I couldn't just offer them money for sex. These chicas wanted to be taken care of and would return the favor later. We had some drinks and they asked if I'd buy them some swimsuits (this is where they were getting theirs). I agreed, and we went off to a store that was close by. It was surprisingly cheap, each got a swimsuit for about 120 k each, and it was brand designer stuff too. We had a good time picking them out, and like I mentioned their personality really made the time go by easily. We grabbed lunch at a restaurant nearby and went back to the beach where we got some more drinks.
The jet ski was ready and the tout asked for 70 k for a half hour + a tip to his comrades. We took turns getting on in pairs of two, and did three trips all together. I gave the tout 100 k and tipped his buddies 50 k. The jet ski guys had worked hard. We had managed in tipping the jet ski over at least twice, and the girls went off on their own on the second trip and I asked one of the touts to go with them and make sure they operate the jet ski properly.
As 6 pm was nearing I told the big titted bimbo I needed to go back to my apartment. She came along. As soon as I entered the apartment she bent over the kitchen counter. I told her I didn't have condoms and she got a little upset, so I feigned forgetting and grabbed the trojans I had brought with me. The sex was decent, mostly standing doggy, with a BBBJ finish and spray on her breasts.
They wanted to go out for dinner and drinks but the tout messaged me saying he had a GREAT girl who worked at a hotel nearby. I slipped the girl 100 k. She seemed a bit disappointed but I feigned having indegestion (mi estomago!) so she left. Fuck her. I musta spent 500 k on everything, and she got a nice swimsuit along with the cash too.
The "GREAT" girl showed up around 9 pm, and she was a good looking 20-something year old who had put on a few cheeseburgers since she took the selfies she sent me. The tout explained she wasn't a casa girl but would take care of me. She went to school and worked a few days at a hotel reception in Bocagrande. When we got in the cab I noticed she had super hairy arms. It took a lot of stamina not to throw up over dinner. These were some seriously hairy arms. Nonetheless, I dropped her off at her home where her dad and mom lived. Then I told the taxi to take me back to centro.
There I had some ice cream, walked my usual route and ended up at LDV. It was a bit busier this night, and I ended up drinking with a crazy MILF from Cali. This was the definition of the happy hooker. I paid 120 k for our bill (including tip) and we went off to a short time hotel. Evidently a lot of them were full but we finally found one. When I explained I didn't have any condoms she told the cab to go to a drugeria, and then made sure to get me one of the larger condoms (because evidently the bulge in my pants worried her). We fucked for a good solid hour before finishing. We got dressed, smoked some cigarettes and then I headed home.
The next couple of days I'd grab breakfast, hit the beach for a bit, then the casino in the afternoon for blackjack (made 1,000,000 pesos total over three days), and the MILF would show up at night. She was surprisingly low maintanence. Arrepas and hamburgers in front of the TV would be enough. On the third night she TLNed. Price was 200 k for short time, and 400 k for TLN which seemed reasonable.
Bareback was not on the menu and she wasn't a fatty but had a nice figure, so I decided to move on. At this point I had two solid nights left.
The GREAT girl who worked at a hotel kept telling me when she'd be around but I never invited her over. Honestly, she needs to wax.
My tout messaged in the morning me claiming he had a couple of hot chicas for me. They weren't hot, and both were La Isla girls. After the tout fucked me offering them Pina Coladas I took one of them upstairs with the understanding that I'd fuck her bareback "para un rato" for 200 k (or fuck for as long as I want for 200 k). Here's the kicker she immediately agreed to bareback which should have been a huge warning sign. We only fucked once, and for some reason I shot really hard in her vagina. It was a messy creampie.
I showered, paid her, and decided to cut her loose. The tout kept asking me how much I paid which got annoying. I told him to stop messaging me.
I went back to Playa Hollywood the next day, and Edgar hooked me up with another La Isla girl. Same deal, 200 k para un rato sin condom. This time this girl stopped by the pharmacy and bought a bottle of sterlizing fluid. This shit should have raised alarm bells. These girls knew what to do if they went bareback.
We fucked, hung out on the balcony drinking beer, then grabbed dinner. After which we slept in and I started banging her hardcore when we woke up around 6 pm. She asked if I would stop and I felt bad. Then I realized she was probably sore from all the banging. I paid her and thanked her for her time. I fuck for at least an hour before finishing. I try to be gentle but some Latinas have such tiny vaginas its difficult.
The final night quickly approached and I went to LDV. The image of a fat ass morena burned into my retina from my dreams. LDV was pretty empty at 11 pm for a Saturday night but by midnight it got hopping. I spotted a Blanquita Gordita with ass4 days chatting with another girl. I literally had to tell the waiter to call her over. She was cool, and I got her pretty drunk on whiskey. It was my final night so I didn't mind splooging. She eventually gestured to a friend of hers who had the perfect ass I was looking for and asked if I'd buy her a drink too. I agreed. I must have stared at her unconsciously because her ass was held me in a trance. I gestured her for her to come over and explained I was leaving tomorrow. I asked her what it would take to fuck her tonight para un rato. She threw her hair back and demanded 200 USD. I was like "wow, what a * and shook my head. She then asked for a 40 k tip which I laughed and shook my head to. Sorry, I'm not that much of a sucker. Myself and the blanquita danced the night away and ended up eating arrepas at a place near by apartment building. I bought arrepas (para llever, or take out) and took them to the security guy and receptionist in a bid to bring the girl up. The receptionist relented and agreed but said she wouldn't register her.
The night was uneventful and no bareback was allowed. In the morning I finished doggy style with her fat ass and told her I'd be back in April. I told her she should talk some sense into her friend. I said I'd be generous with her friend if she lived with me like a wife "como esposa. " She agreed to have a chat and keep in touch.
I packed my shit, had breakfast nearby, and left a tip to the security guard who knew me.
I'm going to need to find a place that's chica friendly. I may look into the Laguito apartments on my next trip.
Couple of good reports here, thanks for the detailed info. If I can add my opinion about the "tipping" in both reports:
First, it's important to keep in mind that on the beach, in the clubs, or restaurants, Colombians tip fuck all. Touts are hopeful that gringos will tip 50%, but by God if I tip 10-15% that's 10-15% more than what they would have got from a Colombian, and they need to be happy with that.
So I could care less if they're disappointed they didn't discover the golden goose.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that when the touts bring you a chica, the chica has to tip the tout. This won't happen in front of you, but maybe the next day or whenever they return to the beach, usually 10-15% of what you paid her. This is why the one tout in your report kept asking you what you paid the girl, he wanted to know how much he was basing his tip with her on. No matter what you paid her, he's going to get his share of it, that's how it works. It's cool to tip the guy too, it's expected, but I wouldn't give the guy more than 10-20 K tops.
Just my thoughts.

[/QUOTE]Yes, should be that way. Honestly, both Edgar and the other tout came through for me so they both got theirs. The other guy was bringing me 2-3 girls every day to pick, he was just super slow. I've come to the conclusion that the cost in Cartagena isn't the girls so much as it is the activities around getting the girls, and wifing up is so much cheaper when you just drop 300 k-400 k a day in payments to the girl and get on with your day.
LDV: 100 k minimum on drinks, or as one girl said 50 k minimum. I didn't mind drinking heavily that one night, but at 11 pm most nights I just wanted to grab a chica and split after a beer. Maybe even go somewhere else with her. It really looked like the staff were keeping an eye on people who do that, and the chicas I met wanted to meet me back there. I saw one guy stand at the corner for agirl and the other girls pointed that out to the staff. Does anyone know why places like LDV start so late? Do the chicas get paid to attend that place? Seems like a bullshit business model. In Panama City there's a barcalled Habanos with the exact same setup only you spend what you want. You can walk in and just grab a girl and walk out.
Beaches: the touts are looking for the golden goose as you said, and that puts a damper on things. They're 100% middle men who just take a cut off your spend. Cartagena would do well to develop the Bocagrande beach with contracts to more professional companies. Hookers will always show up at Playa Hollywood but I would much rather deal with a uniformed waiter than a tout like Edgar who is just looking to fuck extranjeros.
I'm contemplating my next mongering trip late April or beginning of May. I can't even look at porn these days from all the excessive fucking I did in Cartagena. I might do 10 days in Cartagena and take the kite surfing courses offered there in between pumping semen in pussy, hahaha. Still deciding. I had a much better time than Medellin which is really boring if you go alone and know no one. Peru and Ecuador are in my sights too but I don't want to end up in a city full of brothels again, like Medellin.

I've seen rumors on this forum that the owner has a gambling addiction and so raising the minimum was to feed this. Personally I do not even like to drink when I'm there so I make contact with the bartender and let him know that I am going to spend my minimum buying rounds for the chicas and then I go around buying rounds for the best looking groups of girls, and if nothing else it gives me a chance to spend a moment up close with many of the chicas to see which ones are the hottest.
I never had a problem getting a chica to meet with me some other place than LDV, sometimes I have rehooked up with chicas from there at Hollywood Beach, depends on the chica though, some have kids during the day etc. I do not know what the situation was where those chicas pointed out another chica. The owner though wants loyalty from these chicas, but I have literally picked up a chica who was getting out of a cab at the bottom of the steps at the street by the plaza where LDV is located. I think it is different for differing chicas.
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;1992532]I just got back from Cartagena. Was there for a week.
First off, [B]Elektra[/B] is back but I did not pay it a visit. I should be visiting Space if I'm looking for girls after 3 am. The girl literally said, if we don't get a customer before 3 am we go to Space.
Secondly, who the fuck is paying 300 k-350 k per hour? That should be TLN price. Please, if you're doing that just stop. Cocktails like Pina Colada start to get expensive around 40 k. Please know these prices are subject to change. Touts will try to fuck you by getting the girls to order expensive drinks.
The experience was surreal to say the least.
[B]Bocagrande beaches[/B]: Touts here will also call you girls but they never seem to have them onsite. Expect to wait 1-2 hours for the chica to show up. Then expect to pay their cab fare if you turn them away. I had a group of touts bring me a couple of girls every morning and I'd decide whether to spend the day with them and fuck them after dinner, or not.
[B]Centro Venues[/B]:
Action starts around 11 pm in almost all locations. With that said action started at 10 pm Thursday for some reason. Venues like La Dulce Vida were packed that night. Expect Monday to Wednesday to be dead slow. So if you're going to pick a few nights to visit Thursday to Saturday night are the busiest in my book.
All the main action, outside of the Clock Tower square, is on Carrera 6/ Calle 35. This includes La Dulce Vida, Space, and Isis.
Will post about my experiences in the next post. Hope this helps![/QUOTE]Great Report, thank you!
Went end of November to CTG with a buddy. Jayson as usual was our go-to guy, but this time we also made some arrangements ourselves. Actually had two apartments; a great one with all the luxury you could want including a big very private jacuzzi on the terrace, and another one a couple of blocks away that was very Chica friendly just in case for late night pick ups. The beach action was slim, but Jayson provided plenty of day time options. Clock tower action was excellent, both in quantity and quality. Rented a yacht for a trip to the Rosario Islands etc (beware the food vendors on the boats; they'll rip you off in seconds) Even ate at two excellent restaurants in town, a first in many visits.
I know I've left out a lot of details, but wanted to lay the ground work and share as requested. Ask here or PM for the private questions.

Would be willing to share this expensive with others in the future if anyone is interested. Even ate at two excellent restaurants in town, a first in many of my fantasy visits.

What restaurants did you eat at? How much did you pay for your apartments? Do you have any pics of the girls you were with? Did you go to any of the bars / nightclubs? From reading your generic report it looks like you never were actually in Cartagena other than being on a fantasy trip as many of your previous posts show as well.
So I was in Colombia for about a month give or take a few days. Spent over a stack on an apartment over a week. This was due to it being high season with Christmas and what not. So I decided to bounce and went over to Santa Marta which is several hours away. Paid a taxi driver and he took me. Had a buddy with a spot so I just paid limited rent and this definitely save me a lot of money in the long run. Cartagena was dope. I met a colombian chica the first night I was there and ended up paying like 500 k pesos or around that. Now this was my first time and considering the prices here in the US that is a big discount so cut me some slack LOL. Had taxi man take me to a few clubs the next night. I decided to play the game and so I started speaking to most of the girls to feel out the vibe. You can tell which ones are warm and which ones are cold and only care about the money. My spanish is nonexistent so that did not help. Google translate did though. So what I did was talk to a bunch of them and get their whatsapp. A few were down with meeting me outside on their own time and so I made the arrangements. They were really paranoid to not get caught though because that would be them violating the mamasan and what not. Had a few problems with this during my trip but I really enjoy cutting out the middleman. As far as I'm concerned the only person who I want to pay is the girl. She is the one doing all the work and everyone else can fuck off. I don't recall the clubs I went to due to the length of time I stayed. But I ended up mainly fucking with the first 2 girls that I fucked because they were fucking bad. The second one was a Venezuelan hottie who I might have not pulled out in time, only time will tell. I got pics that I may share. My only thing against cartagena is the cost. Everything is super expensive. Girls are starting off at 300-400 k where in medellin or santa marta they go for far less. And the fact that the mamasan and the taxi guy has to get their cut makes it even more expensive. Not only do they try to get a tip from you but 99 percent of the time the taxi also charges the girl out of her share. A lot of grimy 2 faced shit that I don't like. Went to one of the islands and a nightclub with one of the girls. Shit was pretty fun. Another thing that I hated was the fact after spending a fucking stack on an apartment, the girl I was with got denied on our way back after hitting the nightclub one night. This one security guard really cared about his job because unlike his counterparts he would not take a tip. Fuck him. I'm glad I passed on a threesome because you can just imagine how pissed I would be if 2 girls had gotten denied. Fuck that curfew BS SMDH. Santa Marta was pretty chill. Got to experience the party buses a couple times and went downtown where I had a great time. I remember right after I walked into the second club after the first one closed. Girl went to the bathroom and I literally got harassed by a group of girls even after they clearly saw me walk in with someone. These colombian women have no chill sometimes. Had a few girls in Santa Marta. Had another venezuelan (I might have a thing for venezuelan chicas) and a few other ones. Two I really regretted not getting was one curly haired colombian chica who was willing to take and 11 HR bus ride to come spend a week with me for like 600-700 k pesos. I still got pics of her and will definitely hit her up when I go back next time. Might try Bogota and a couple other cities since I heard immigration shut down all the clubs in Santa Marta. All in all I spent roughly 3 k plus not including airfare. I plan on bringing that down significantly next time. My buddy told me I need to stop wifing these girls for all day / night sessions. I might take his advice with the exception of curly LOL.
I want to get my full money's worth does anyone know who the best guy is? I have read the names Jason and Feo but don't bother with Tony. I was curious everyone this board is posting in Colombian pesos what's the rate in dollars 80-150 USD. I assume the chicas will take American money correct. This will be my second trip down and I had fun last time but feel I overpaid.

I had a girl live with me for less than 400 k a day, and you're paying 500 k for short time? She was LIVING with me, letting me bareback her whenever I felt like it. She was cleaning the apartment and giving me afternoon backrubs.
Don't spend more than 200 k. There was a poster here who was consistently getting short time for 100 k a pop no tip. Otherwise anything more and the girl should be giving you rimjobs, while she cooks and cleans.
And if they insist on more than 200k for short time you should toss them and grab another one. Believe me they'll come running back to you.

But I got hemmed up because I was brought in by a shady taxi man and I was a gringo in Colombia for the first time. Will I allow this to happen again? Fuck No. But we can't change the past. The taxi man wanted a cut and mamasan also wanted a cut so that elevated the prices. Again I remedied this by trying to cut out the middleman. But I still was taken advantage of. It is what it is so I'm not sweating it. I just know better now.
I was told touts are a ripoff even though I have read that Jason was helpful in past posts. I will be staying near Playa Hollywood. The action downtown at the Clock Tower / clubs is late and I'd like to have a few girls throughout the day. I am new to mongering CTG. I've been there once and overpaid the first time If anyone could to share info it would be appreciated.

One of them is a summary of the venues all in Bocagrande and centro.
I used Edgar at playa hollywood. If you buy a sub here and PM me I can send you his whatsapp number. Summary on how not to get ripped off:
* Tell him you want an honest account and will tip in the end. Make sure he understands you aren't going to put up with any monkey business. Once you do that he'll be good.
* Beers should be about 5 k. Mixed drinks are more expensive like Pina Coladas are 30 k. The way they fuck you is by offering the girls expensive drinks and adding shit to your tab without you knowing.
* Tip him 15-20% of the tab. He probably won't be impressed but if you go everyday the gears in that fat head of his start turning.
* The girls will try to fuck you over for 300 k+. Especially if you say you're new. Tell them your friends told you it's 200 k "para un rato" which means for a bit. If you have beers at your place and its the afternoon the girl could fuck you, drink, take a nap and fuck you again. That was my usual for 200k. Most of these girls don't get much business during the day. A lot of them will be from La Isla and don't get much work at night because apparently it's not busy there.
Don't go to La Isla unless you have someone you trust with you. It's outside of the tourist areas. Don't go there if you think you look like an easy target for a robbery.
Have fun!
I have had some real bad experiences with Colombian professional women here in Miami. I am traveling alone and I have been before but played it low key and only had two girls back to my room which wasn't girl friendly I might add because I hadn't done my homework on the board! The first I grabbed literally in front of my hotel walked her straight through the lobby and wasn't questioned and had an hour with a 9 but paid the price off being a rookie. The second was from the old LDV and the fine at the desk was 95 American dollars! This trip I want to find and fuck as many non pros and pros as possible from what I have read the Venezuelans are everywhere now. That's a bonus because in my book they tend to be even more attractive than Colombians. To get back to my question do you sleep with one eye open and has any girls ever been working with a cab driver and taken you to ATM's to robbed the shit out of you. The main question I have is should I bring a wing man or meet up with a fellow monger while I am there?

[QUOTE=SflMan;2006474]The main question I have is should I bring a wing man or meet up with a fellow monger while I am there?[/QUOTE]No. You should be fine solo. Just accept the fact that Cartagena is a tourist town and it has grown its money sucking tendrils around everything connected to the sex tourism there. I'm happy to give you numbers of touts there that will help you get pussy during the day if you have a sub here and I can PM you. Just remember these guys are skimming so it's not cheaper to go through them, but then again everyone is skimming in Cartagena.
If you don't want any skim at all, then use tinder during the day (there are obvious hookers there who respond during the day), and stick to the clock tower square. That action should be 100% independent.
Fuck "wing man" shit. This isn't dating haha. You are fucking Colombian hookers.

In Cartagena, every girl who was in their mid to low 20's that responded to me was a prepago. Whereas in Medellin I got zilch matches! So girls go to Cartagena from all over to work because they can charge higher. They will start with asking for 300,00 but most will agree to a couple of hours for 150,000 plus 20,000 for taxi. The benefit of tinder is you can look at their pictures, sometimes of their civilian life to get a feel of the girl. Also can chat with google translate helping out.
She can also recommend her network of friends.
My wife and I are planning a trip in June. We are looking for any advice on any couple friendly locations in Cartagena.
I paid the 19.99 fee and started to do a little browsing before my trip. These girls are mostly pros. They usually start out with 300 K but some of the not so pretty ones ask for 100 k. They do have friends and pictures of them also if you ask. They maybe using older pictures so ask for algunas naturales or de ahora. My Spanish is very good so I usually tell them I've been in Colombia many years and the prices start to come down. Most are agreeing to 200 K por un ratito or two hours.

I was walking to Mcdonald's (behind hotel Capilla Del Mar) in Bocagrande at around 1 am in the morning and got stopped by two cops on a motorcycle. One of them started patting me down and searched my wallet and asked if I had any drugs on me. I told them I don't use any and was just going to grab something to eat. I told them where I was staying and they were satisfied and let me go.
[QUOTE=PickCherry12;2007470]Just watch-out walking alone late at night. [/QUOTE]Just watch out from police? That's the danger at night?? Ahaha.
Police in Colombia in general and in CTG in particular is very professional. I have been stopped and searched 1-2 times on almost EACH of my stays in Colombia, most times at night but sometimes also during the day (in Centro of Medellin). Curiously, this did not happen on my last stay in CTG. Maybe they relaxed controls, maybe I looked less suspicious.
I've never had a single problem. As you reported, they look for drugs, as many foreign tourists in CTG are consumers. If you don't have, as I don't, there is no reason to worry. Just smile and respond positively to their professional inquiries. Their approach is severe at first, but once they see there is nothing wrong, they relax and the meeting will end up in pats-down and smiles.
[QUOTE=DavidTish2;2007365]My wife and I are planning a trip in June. We are looking for any advice on any couple friendly locations in Cartagena.[/QUOTE](I hope I understood what you are asking).
None of them in CTG, but there are a few swinger clubs in Bogota and Medellin. Don't expect the luxury settings of swinger clubs in Europe. They are mostly a bit run down, but they totally safe and gather some good couples, especially on weekends. Some clubs are open only to couples. Others admit singles only on 2-3 nights per week (from Sun to Wed). One in BOG is always open to singles.
I went there many times, as single, and, besides the various times I did not meet anyone willing to play, I have some very good fond memories of genuine couples very happy to play with a foreigner who is not a frequent patron of the place.
In CTG, I have seen a few times couples of Americans / Europeans trying to get a girl from the Reloy Square. MOST working girls in Colombia are happy to play with a lady, and definitely are not embarrassed by a MMF/MFF where the ladies are focused on the man (trio).
If I propose a MFF in Asia (Indonesia is my playground) with some action between ladies, 99% of times I get scared eyes looking at me ("I am NORMAL!!").
Colombia is not so Victorian. Most girls enjoy playing some lez game even if they don't consider themselves truely bisex.

None of them in CTG, but there are a few swinger clubs in Bogota and Medellin. Don't expect the luxury settings of swinger clubs in Europe. They are mostly a bit run down, but they totally safe and gather some good couples, especially on weekends. Some clubs are open only to couples. Others admit singles only on 2-3 nights per week (from Sun to Wed). One in BOG is always open to singles.
I went there many times, as single, and, besides the various times I did not meet anyone willing to play, I have some very good fond memories of genuine couples very happy to play with a foreigner who is not a frequent patron of the place.
In CTG, I have seen a few times couples of Americans / Europeans trying to get a girl from the Reloy Square. MOST working girls in Colombia are happy to play with a lady, and definitely are not embarrassed by a MMF/MFF where the ladies are focused on the man (trio).
If I propose a MFF in Asia (Indonesia is my playground) with some action between ladies, 99% of times I get scared eyes looking at me ("I am NORMAL!!").

My wife and I frequent the DR and have stayed at Blackbeards and have visited FOD. We were wondering if other couples / females are welcome or frequent brothels and strip clubs in Cartagena. We are not looking for swingers. We're looking for places that welcome couple and female mongers.
We understand that they are male dominated, but my wife feels very welcome in places in the DR. We were wondering if she would be welcome in a strip club or brothel or be the only female there. We haven't discovered anything in Colombia with our research.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I guess male escorts are available (look on Mileroticos ads?) but considering the traditional mind setting in Colombia all that scene is pretty undercover. Personally, I have never seen ANY male escort around.

Don't worry to sit down at Reloy or look around in clubs.

BTW, the difference between those three venues is Isis has a pole for girls to occasionally dance in and has an exit fee for the girls. Otherwise all three places charge higher for drinks and house hookers all night long.

[QUOTE=DavidTish2;2008310]Thank you for the reply. Is there any specific reason that you don't recommend strip clubs? Safety? Etc.[/QUOTE]Simply, it is not my cup of tea.
In general, I don't like to go to a "brothel" (ISIS, Pleyclub, Rocio, etc. which are clubs where girls are employed to serve customers) where all girls look at me when I sit down. I prefer to be the hunter who aims at the target, rather then the opposite. This does not mean that I don't go to bars in Medellin, but in CTG I prefer a different system.
I believe that the "best of CTG" is in:
- clubs where people is mixed, where also regular people and couples go to enjoy, but a number of working girls is also there to meet their man for the night (Eivissa, Tu Candela, VIP, Fragma, Babar, etc.).
- the square of Reloy, which at night is truly an outdoor P4 P market, where also regular tourist hang out, and you can see even regular couples, in which you might hear the girl who lectures the guy about the sadness of prostitution and sex tourism (the guy mostly nods, but I bet his mind is somewhere else).

I heard last night from my taxi driver that there was a brother in Bocagrande with Venezuelan girls working does anyone have the address? I visited the clock tower last night and it was full before 11. It emptied out by twelve. The girl that I picked took me literally 2 blocks away to a love motel that was 18 K. I have had one girl off tinder who said she wasn't a pro but sure did act like one in bed. I will post a full report from my desktop.

Until the person who made the map gives you access, there is nothing you can do except wait.
Think of it like this:
The map is on the other side of a locked door. You have knocked on the door. Now you have to wait until someone answers the door. There might be nobody home. The person may not want to open the door. Beating on the door isn't going to open it any quicker.

It seems all these girls are getting hip to the game??
I ususally just stick to Medellin for this reason. I have some non and semi pros I been talking with but now it seems the whole city is upcharging and stopping you from bringing guest into your apartment. What gives??
Where are the chica friendly apartments that are close to the beach?
[QUOTE=BlueChange;2012346]It seems all these girls are getting hip to the game??
[/QUOTE]The girls are asking for more as per my report from January but I think it has more to do with it being high season and a lot of regular tourists showing up. My advice is to stick to your guns and never pay more than 200 k for short time. 150 k-200 k is what an independent in Medellin would want anyway. I don't see why we should pay more in Cartagena. LDV, Isis and touts will always go for their cut so keep that in mind.

[/QUOTE]There was a report on this thread about a guy and his friend getting girls consistently for 100 k from the clock tower area. I haven't had any luck there, or didn't like what I saw. All the buildings from the beach in Bocagrande are enforcing stupid curfews for non registered guests. I did airbnb it for my trip next month and the host assured me after 10 pm any visitor just needs a cedula but honestly I'm not holding up much hope. The host will claim one thing and the building admin will enforce a different set of rules. Your best bet is bringing some food back with you and giving it to security and receptionist.
That being said the love motels are plentiful in centro and the girls know where they are. Then you can always arrange to register her during the day if you like the girl. I did that with two chicas on my lasttrip.
I hear you about the cheap pussy in Medellin which is why I'm spending a week in Medellin before my week in Cartagena. I still prefer to be in Cartagena because it's a much nicer venue for everything else (casinos, beach, bars).
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2012384]. 150 k-200 k is what an independent in Medellin would want anyway. I don't see why we should pay more in Cartagena.[/QUOTE]I am surprised you wrote that. There are at least two reasons:
1) because a girl outstationed from Medellin to Cartagena has a lot of additional expenses in the most expensive place of Colombia, the room rental above all, not to neglect drinks if she goes hunting to a club;.
2) because the tourists in Cartagena have a lot more money than people in Medellin and men are willing to spend much more than punters in Medellin (never heard a guy from Texas proudly reporting to have paid 200 USD and still "it's a bargain for 9's-10's, because in Dallas such girls would cost $500 and up"??).

There was a report on this thread about a guy and his friend getting girls consistently for 100 k from the clock tower area. I haven't had any luck there, or didn't like what I saw.[/QUOTE]You did not see what kind of girls they were taking, and for what kind of rushy experience they were paying. NO WAY an average girl from Reloy would accept to go for less than 200 k, unless for a quickie in a room at one of the small hotels at 2 blocks who rent rooms per hour. And in the last year girls became more demanding with their first price request than in the past, even recent.
In my extensive experience there, I found some decent girls who accepted 150 k for 1 shot in the last 2 years (then in all cases I gave 200 k finally, including a tip, to get an outstanding experience to remember), but they were a very small minority (not knock-outs, yet better than passable, but certainly more in need than others). 80% of girls will ask 200 k for 1 hour, some even 300 k. 150 k is achievable, but not with all and only after good bargaining.
Sure, the lower-end girls who loiter between the Reloy and Calle de la Media Luna are on a lower price tier (80 k-150 k) but personally I go to Cartagena to aim at a different type of girl.
P.S.: This year I had ONE girl, 22 yo but looking younger, pretty and sexy, a real gem in the garbage, who was loitering there outside the Reloy and asked me 80 k (That was an unicum, in years of experience on site. She is the owner of one of the two pairs of tits which I posted here time ago.

[/QUOTE]I'm not disagreeing with you but I've seen girls at LDV ask for 300 k-350 k then sit there all night until 2 am without any customers. One of the girls was that happy hooker I was fucking for several days from my last report. I realize the nights are long in Cartagena and she probably hit up Space next but still; it seemed like a wasted opportunity to make money.
Most of these girls spend time just waiting.
EDIT: I think they wait less during prime season like March which is why the poster is seeing high prices. That's why I'm heading back first week of May to Cartagena. It is supposed to empty out mostly. I got an airbnb place for a little over $50 USD a night by the beach in Bocagrande. A similar place would cost me $100 USD in January. My hope is prices are more reasonable off season. I'll report back for sure.
Quick question for you Cartagena vets. I know in Medellin Sunday nights are dead / closed in most places. How is Reloj plaza / other options in Cartagena on Sunday nights?
[QUOTE=Packeye;2012777]Quick question for you Cartagena vets. I know in Medellin Sunday nights are dead / closed in most places.

On the second night, you are already immunized and you can approach girls with a slower pace.
The problem is the clubs. Most of them are closed (Fragma, Babar,.) or dead lonely. Just wait 3 am and check Space, if you don't see anyone interesting enough before then.
Just to preface this post, and just as I did before my first trip to MDE (and Colombia last July) I have began to read the most recent 2 years of posts from this thread. I am currently on page 18 so I have about 8-10 more pages to complete the last 2 yeras. I read the most current page / posts then go back to where I left off the last time I was reading posts.
So, unless this info is covered in the last 8-10 pages that I have yet to read, if anyone tells me to RTFF, I already have and couldn't find the answers.
Right now, 2 simple questions:
-1) How should a gringo dress while walking around in the CTG, doy or night? Are t-shirts, shorts & flipflops / tennis shoes acceptable? The reason I ask is that in reading the MDE threads, I gathered that this type of clothing was only acceptable on Sundays in MDE and any other day at any time of the day, long pants & a collared shirt were to be worn so as not to stick out like a tourist / gringo. I know CTG will be much hotter than MDE so I'm wondering how uncomfortable I am going to be.
-2) Does anyone have any Intel on renting a boat to go fishing out of CTG? I do not wish to rent a $1000 charter from the tourist Charter boat marina to go catch 5 fish. What I am looking for is to pay a commercial fisherman $100-150 to go on his boat for a day to fish with him and catch 5 fish.
Any Intel on these to questions will be appreciated!

Hi guys,
Me and a couple buddies are going to Cartagena May 20th it'll be my first trip there I've been to Medellin before. I have a few questions:
We are looking to get an Airbnb near the beach but it seems they all have rules against bringing visitors or require proper ID registration. How much of a problem will this be? I have read on here that you can grease the security how much should I give for that?
We also want to do activities such as jet ski etc. Is a tout the best option to plan such activities and do they also arrange girls to hang out with you as well? Where can I find a reliable tout?
I'm a novice when it comes to Cartagena so any advice or tips are greatly welcome.
Thanks.

[/QUOTE]Last year it was just an ID (cedula) at most buildings and the girl would get in. That's a good thing for your security and hers. Now that's beginning to change. If you look at the Medellin Hotels and Apartment thread there's a renter called Juan who has chica friendly apartments. Otherwise you need to make it clear to the airbnb host you are bringing guests at night. The host may have no idea what the actual rules are because when he goes mongering he uses love hotels that are plentiful in Cartagena and all the hookers know where these are. So be upfront. Rules change frequently so it's better to do the search yourself.

[/QUOTE]You won't have trouble finding touts. They are a dime a dozen. I've had so-so luck with them. You can talk to Edgar at playa hollywood and he can help. Just be prepared to deal with back handed tricks to try to rip you off. Jet skis are about 50-70 k for a half hour to 45 minutes. The girls they will get you are usually from La Isla or Isis both are strip joints.
You want to frequent the clocktower plaza at night and the street with La Dulce Vida, Space, and Isis. That's about ground zero for hookers. Believe me even if you didn't have the map there's always a tout in centro who can show you these places.
Get the price for everything up front.

Yes Cartagena will be boiling and the Colombiano is hot but he still doesn't wear shorts unless it's the beach or he is playing sports.
I do wear shorts and flipflops during day but I am always around the beach. At night I could wear the same attire and look like the typical idiot tourist but I put on jeans and a collared shirt. Yes I am uncomfortable and have sweated my ass off at midnight walking around but I don't feel out of place when hanging out with locals.

Yet, lots of backpackers and cheapsters crowd the bars on Calle de la Media Luna at night (now not dangerous anymore, but still on a lower level).
To be honest, I cannot bear a collared shirt in CTG, although most Colombians do wear it. If not a formal shirt, at night I opt for a more comfortable Polo Ralph Lauren shirt, which seems to me an acceptable compromise. CTG is hot and humid also at night, but the sea breeze makes it very mild and pleasant at least to me (26°C is the temperature to expect at night, while at daytime it often exceeds 32°C).

[QUOTE=ElMechanico;2016350]-1) How should a gringo dress while walking around in the CTG, doy or night? Are t-shirts, shorts & flipflops / tennis shoes acceptable? The reason I ask is that in reading the MDE threads, I gathered that this type of clothing was only acceptable on Sundays in MDE and any other day at any time of the day, long pants & a collared shirt were to be worn so as not to stick out like a tourist / gringo. I know CTG will be much hotter than MDE so I'm wondering how uncomfortable I am going to be.[/QUOTE]Colombians not wearing shorts and ballcaps is an old mongers' tale. A couple of years ago I went around downtown Medellin taking pictures of all the Colombians wearing shorts and ballcaps and posted some in that thread to show how true it wasn't. I was in my exes neighborhood in Santa Marta last Saturday and plenty of people had on shorts; me, her son and brother in law included.
When I brought the subject up to my girl in Santo Domingo she said it was stupid; wear what you want to wear. She said you see people with pants and button down shirts because it is during the day and they are working. (Hence the reason for it being acceptable on Sundays; because they are not freakin working!) That is akin to foreigners walking around your downtown during business hours and assuming they need to wear suits when they go there so they can blend in.

El Mechanico.[/QUOTE]If the number of posts is a qualification, I am in the middle. Then, I tell you: go and check yourself.
The dress code is never mandatory, but it is a matter of how someone wants to feel comfortable in an environment, the kind of environment, the target (that is, what kind of girl you aim at?) and of course [u]his personal *style*[/u]. Nobody could teach *style*. It's our personal thing.
We are speaking about Cartagena, not Manila. Cartagena is the most expensive tourist place in Colombia. Now what?
If you will have your dinners at Riquisimo, pizza places, cheap food places, then nobody will bother you wearing baseball hat, short cargo pants and flip flops at night. You could go to Reloy or Calle de La Media Luna, have a beer, talk with girls, and have some good time. No problem for going with her to enjoy at one of the love hotels nearby.
If you want to appreciate what Cartagena offers to a higher end, for example the excellent restaurants, no way you could feel comfortable there dressed for the beach (I assume you have an average sensitivity). I am not even sure if a place like Cuzco, La Vitrola, Santisimo, etc. would even *admit* patrons not appropriately dressed. Moreover, the priceless experience that is possible in Cartagena is not one hour of sex in a basic room with a stunner (just go to a brothel for that), but a whole night partying in clubs with her, followed by a proper treatment in bed. How would you like seeing a beach dude trying to dance bachata with a girl in high heels, in a club where everyone is dressed appropriately?
Don't take me wrong. I am not saying you will not see beach dudes and backpackers roaming around at night in Bocagrande or between Cl. De La Media Luna and Reloy. There's everything. It's all up to how we wish to position ourselves in a market. Just make your choice.
So, in conclusion, it's your call. I suggest you bring not only beachware in your luggage, but also something that will allow you to enjoy better the place. Leave it open, or you might regret it.

The guy was talking about walking around Cartagena in general. He was not asking if it would be okay for him to wear his beach gear to dinner at a swank restaurant or upscale club. I am sure he has more sense than that.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2021045]I am sure he has more sense than that.[/QUOTE]I do!
I was giving BP props for his original response now I feel like I just got scolded in the Principles office!! My original post indicated my research on the MDE dictated that I wear jeans and a collared shirt so as not to stick out / be a target for someone with less than good intentions. CTG is a beach town & is already hot as F**k. I won't wear jeans to the beach & I was just wondering about shorts (not cargo shorts) at night at the clock tower or for just walking around town, taking in the sights during the day. When I get back, I'll give a daily wardrobe report & whether or not I felt threatened or got stares and what I see locals & other gringos wearing.
Thanks to both of you ME & BP!!

Don't worry. No problems at all for safety (I assume you will not go out of the Centro looking for cheaper brothels). The only risk could be to not feel comfortable, because dressed different from the average people we like to blend with.
My advice is to avoid shorts at night, but again: go and check yourself. To each his own.
By the way: it's very hot and humid at daytime, but at night the weather is fantastic for me: warm but not warmer than 26°C, often with a nice breeze from the sea.
Edgar sent me these photos and then some of the current crop of La Isla girls that hang out in Playa Hollywood. I thought I'd share. They're almost always short and young. I fucked two girls from there on my last trip, and they both told me La Isla is usually dead. I fucked them by picking them off the beach. I'll be in Cartagena in a couple of weeks.
EDIT: These girls typically ask for 300k but you can get them for 200k or even less if you convince them its a quick fuck next door in your building. From what I understand things are slow at La Isla so they come out during the day hoping to get a customer.
Here are a few randomly ordered Cartagena observations:
There are a lot of girls in the Clock Tower square (Torre del Reloj), some by the monument, some standing around in the middle, some on the benches, some standing under the overhangs outside the clubs (VIP, etc). Prices range from 100 K to 200 K (for the very small number of university students). Saturday night can be good for university students since they have the day off, though you'll have to be patient to wait for these. The girls usually start arriving a little before 11:30 pm. Some are still there at 3 am, though the volume is vastly lower, 11:30-12:30 is probably peak. Quality isn't great, though a few diamonds exist.
There's more movement than you'd expect between the clubs and the Clock Tower square. I saw two girls who had been standing in the square for a while walk to DLV and go in. Later I saw two girls walk out of Isis and walk to the square, where they started loitering.
I was in DLV for a while, then in Space for a couple of hours. I was surprised not to see any of the DLV girls in Space.
Very late at night, it can be interesting to loiter near the door to Space, say at 4 am. Girls seem to stop by there, either after coming out or before going in or before deciding not to.
Was just wondering, have they issued new taxi fares / rates for 2017? Was looking online and was not able to find any.
SACSA website still has 2016 PDF up.

This is a pretty late post. I went down to Cartagena for the first time in October 2016 with a friend. I mainly use the US site, and thought it would be good to pull some info for my trip from here. I had been to Colombia one time before with my ex GF, so knew a bit about the culture. I am also fluent in Spanish.
First thing I did was go back and read basically every post going back two years. Tons of useful info. Just want to shout out some members with useful posts: OldParr, WorldTraveler, Black Page, You Can, Hilltopper, Hillbilly69. I would suggest anyone take the time and do some research as any questions will have prob been answered already. I also PM some members and got some useful answers.
First thing I did before going down there was signing up for the premium version of Tinder and moving my location down to CTG. As has been mentioned, about 90-95% of the women there are prepagos. Either they say it on their info or it will be brought up by them early on in the conversation. However, there are some normal girls on there who are just looking to have fun (eat dinner, go to the beach, etc). In my experience, no pu$$y has ever been free haha.
I was able to match with 2 girls who were very hot (8-10) and in my conversations never spoke about money. One one from about 2-3 hours inland. She came to CTGmy first weekend there and stayed with me at my apt. Did not pay her anything, but did take her out to eat and to the beach. Had a blast. She left around Monday.
Had matched with a 20 yr old with a killer ass (From Pereira) who came over to my apt one night. Paid here 400 k to stay over at my place. I made sure to tell her she would need to help me out with my laundry the next morning (LOL) and she said it was fine. Just staid in the apt that night having fun, next day she helped me just as she said, and took her out to lunch. So she was basically with me from about 8 PM to 1 PM the next day. I saw this girl again later in the week, and was able to bring her down to 300 k for the same time. Love paisas.
Next I met up with another girl from Tinder, university student, one of the hottest girls I saw down there. Saw her pretty much every night until I left. Never paid her anything, but she did not give it up until 2 night before I left. I did all sorts of things with her during the day (go to the beach, go to el centro, eat dinner, and go out at night). I realize this might no be ideal activity for most members here, but for a girl who was a straight 10, probably would have had no chance with in the US, I had a blast.
During this time I also met up with 2 girls who I had matched with on Tinder. She was a 7-8, and quoted me 150 k, and did not mention time. I said fine, and we would meet in el centro. I asked if she had a girl for my friend and said sure. When we got to el centro and met up with them, my friend wasn't feeling it (girls were kind of sweaty, but what the heck, it was 95 degrees and humid as hell). I knew a quick shower would fix this and took them both back to the apt with me. We showered together, they both gave me a massage, and then went at it for about 1-2 hours. Rested and talked for a bit, I had made sure to stock the fridge with goodies and had beers / alcohol, and then we went at it again. All in all they were in the apartment for about 6 hours, and paid them each 150 k. Again, they were 7-8's, 21-23 years old, but had a great time with both.
I did not go to any casas or strip clubs. I passed by the clock tower and saw some pretty girls, but usually was already with one. I went to Cafe del Mar, Mr Babillas, Tu Candela, Donde Fidel, Bourbon, Clock Pub. I tried to go to Babar one night, but there was a private event and they would not let us in.
I stayed in El Laguito as had been recommended on here, and thought it was a great choice. Centro is way to hot, and has been mentioned, nothing beats being in front of the beach.
In terms of taking out cash, I took out a good chunk at the airport ATM's. I tried to look for the green ATM's as they have a higher limit, but most of them did not work. Took out cash at the BBVA in El Laguito as well. I have since signed up for the Charles Schwab HY Investor Checking account, with comes with an debit card that reimburses your ATM fees, even internationally. I got the idea from a post on here. There was no hard credit check, and as long as you open a brokerage account, there was no minimum amount that needs to be deposited. I am able to transfer money into the account in 2-3 biz days. There are also no foreign transaction fees.
For restaurants, I would recommend.
El Muelle.
M Cocina.
Riquisimo BBQ.
Arepas Pues.
Fonda Antioquena (hit this place up if you are with a paisa).
Cuzco.
Bacco Trattoria.
Peru Fusion.
Quebracho.
La Mulata.
La Casa del Pan De Bono (not a rest, but freaking awesome Pan de Bonos).
I would say one of the thing I loved most about being down there, is even though we did go to some more expensive restaurants in el centro, girls who are insanely hot would be just as excited and happy to go get a perro (hot dog) or go to McDonalds. I thought that was awesome.
Always felt safe, I made sure to print the Taxi fares beforehand (get prepared to haggle, as every taxi is intent on overcharging). Went to Playa Blanca several times. Was about 180 k for a taxi to take us. Thought that was expensive, but if you take a boat, you have to return by 4 PM I believe. With a taxi, you can stay until night basically. You can rent a car for 150 k (stick shift) for the day, so will look into that next time.
When I was riding in a taxi, I was stopped about 3 times by the army / police. We just had to get out of the car, ask you some questions, and send you on your way. No issues.
For a SIM Card, I initially went to a Claro store when I got there, but forgot my passport at the apt and they would not sell me one. Went to an Olimpica supermarket to buy some things, and when I as leaving spotted 3 Claro girls by the exit. They sold me a SIM without my passport and I was good to go.
I suggest anyone who is going down brush up on their Spanish, and also Colombian culture in general. Seemed to me girls would like it if you knew a bit about the country. Also, look up some Salsa videos on youtube or take some classes. Salsa = Free Pussy.
If you have any questions, feel free to reply here on send me a message to my inbox. Again, thanks to all the posters who provided such useful info.

Great gelato as well) and they both seemed a bit lost with the menu. This one girl I took to the arepas place in Bocagrande was drunk so she started dancing with me and taking photos by the finca display like we lived out on a coffee farm. It was hilarious.
When I meet with prepagos in Medellin its completely different. They already have an expensive restaurant picked and have plans in place on spending my money to be wined and dined. I guess the heat makes people act differently.
I'll happily pay more in Cartagena for experiences like this.
Great report. I hadn't considered Tinder before, but after read your post I will try next time.
I live in Europe, when I searched for tinder, the results I got was "tinder. [URL]ashleymadison.com[/URL]" & [URL]https://www.gotinder.com[/URL].
I believe the second one is the correct one, which only works on mobile?

I haven't been to Elektra yet but I am told it's the new Space. Lots of working girls tell me they prefer going there as it is cleaner. Some drama at La Dulce Vida. Only 3 working girls. Isis is full of flacitas for 280 an hour at the love motel around the corner.
Everyone and their cousin including chicas offer to take us to pleyclub. With "security" coming with us. Been told it's 260 an hour for a girl. Don't see the point.
Found a nice gorda who is straight up trying to wife up. She keeps telling me not to pay her but I know better hahaha.
Will post full Medellin and Cartagena report when I go back home Sunday.
If you get a chance, please find out the name of the hotel, address, rates, etc.

Although it's off season and you can get bargains for far less. Barely any tourists.
Isis is a point and click strip joint. If you don't speak Spanish and want thin girls (flaquitas) then go there. You will have zero trouble finding it. So many touts will guide you there. The price is 280 k and the girl takes you to a love hotel. All you need is Google translate to communicate.
Otherwise after midnight the clubs start going.
Elektra and VIP are the most busy with girls, but you can ask the bouncer to take a look first before paying the cover charge. Thursday through Sunday are the busiest nights. Monday and Tuesday are dead.
The later the night gets the cheaper the girls will be.
You can easily get a girl now for 200 or less. There are very few tourists and lots of hungry mouths to feed.

Met up with YippieKayay and his wing man last night at the Clocktower. We went straight to Isis. There must've been 25 girls there at 10:30. It was drizzling so the plaza was not very busy and there weren't many people around at all. But Isis was rocking! I tell you, if a girl is average height to tall, slim, with proportionate breast implants, it doesn't matter what she looks like she is effing hot! There were six that fit this description of my prototype in there last night the rest of them were at least six or seven's mostly sevens and eights. YippieKayays wing man pick the hottest one, in my opinion, and apparently had a terrible time with her in the hotel next-door, I think it was called El Porvenir. I didn't get the full damage report, but apparently once the money was paid things went south! I did not pull any of the chicas because I had just finished my third pop of the day at 9 PM! So I was just there to meet up with YippieKayay and get the lay of the land so to speak. We walked over to LDV while his wing man was sessioning and it was dead! One girl sitting at the bar 15 guys sitting at tables and this was 11:15 on a Saturday night. We walked back to the plaza and I took a tour of VIP with the upstairs bouncer escorting me through the club. It was filled with couples had loud music and a lot of smoke! I did not see many working girls maybe two or three at the most!
So far I have had very good luck with Facebook contacts that I made 2 to 3 months before coming down here and contacts from [URL]milerotics.com[/URL]. I will post a more detail report when I get back.
El mechanico.
After El Mechanico went home to recharge I stuck around until midnight. I picked up a wide hipped Barranquillera who goes by the name Carolina. We had two over priced drinks at Elektra which was mostly dead (and this was a Saturday!) then to a nearby love motel.
My spidy sense flared up when she asked for money upfront and wouldn't relent. I paid her anyway because I needed to get back home to catch a flight the next day. Service was so-so. Popped over her ass and moved on.
At this time Isis has the most chicas at 300 k per hour. 280 to the house and 20 k to a love motel.
LDV is a shadow of it's former self and the various clubs like Elektra vary in how many girls will be in them. I noticed the late night clubs (1 am onwards) have their share of cokeheads. I saw two chicas come out of a men's lavatory. I am pretty sure they were snorting up in there.
That same night on the way back to my Bocagrande apartment I was stopped by police and thoroughly searched. So do yourself a favor and don't partake.
Still the Clocktower plaza continues to deliver but since it is off-season many chicas are not here working. All the chicas I fucked are living in Cartagena or nearby with the usual token Venezuelan refugee sending money back home.
The upside is everyone accepted 200 k and I could have bargained for less. Bareback was on the menu with three different girls. I have never seen it offered so much.
I shall be back labor day weekend.
Really, the house fee is almost the same as the Chica?
That can not be correct?
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2032519]After El Mechanico went home to recharge I stuck around until midnight. I picked up a wide hipped Barranquillera who goes by the name Carolina. We had two over priced drinks at Elektra which was mostly dead (and this was a Saturday!) then to a nearby love motel.
My spidy sense flared up when she asked for money upfront and wouldn't relent. I paid her anyway because I needed to get back home to catch a flight the next day. Service was so-so. Popped over her ass and moved on.

[QUOTE=MojoBandit;2032276]Google Maps must also have La Dulce Vida in the wrong place. If you look in regular Maps mode it shows LDV on Carrera 6 just north of Calle 35 but if you go down to Street View it shows Space there. I'm more confused than anybody, I have not visited Cartagena in a while. Did LDV move out of El Laguito into the Old City?[/QUOTE]Unfortunately, CTG is not the same old regulars have been used to. LDV closed the traditional location. Years before, Elektra was closed for good.
LDV now is at the place of "Opera", which was the attempt to revive Elektra (including Aldo at the door). It never reached any passable level.

Gisel (l) a, Worst session of the trip, avoid at all cost! Wanted the money upfront, everything hurt, no enthusiasm whatsoever, do not session with this Chica!
Winner # 1, Valeria, seven or eight in the looks department, zero on the breasts department, from her breast down a perfect spinner body 10 out of 10 on the body below the breast! Attitude. 10 out of 10! AlmostAnything you want, massage, Oral vaginal and anal, all with condom. And she enjoys the anal, very nice demeanor great attitude I had to go back again for seconds with this one 100 k COP for one hour, she asked for 10 K for the room, I gave it to her the first session but did not give it to her the second session but it would have been worth it. Very very nice Chica!

So the real winner of this trip was another Paisa named Camilla. She is from Medellin, flew back to Medellin from CTG yesterday, and all of her ads on Mileroticos disappeared. Apparently if you don't keep paying for an ad your previous ads disappear. I guess it is kind of an ad purging system / mechanism that they have one Mileroticos. She has one daughter and said she was just up here for the weekend and does not work while she is at home in Medellin living with her mother, stepfather and daughter. She was very genuine so I kind of believe her! And guys believe me if her ad was still up there I would have posted the URL to it so why'all could enjoy her. I am not trying to keep a secret, it's just that she doesn't work in Medellin and her ad is gone! It probably wasn't much help however if I can keep just one guy from hooking up with those two bad service providers it will be worth it!
EL Mechanico.
OK guys please understand this is not a complaint, just a heads up to inform you if you ever rent from one single bedroom in Torre Centauro.
Be prepared to go to a laundromat to wash your towels after two days as only three are provided. So if you have one Chica over the first day you will be washing towels the second day! There's no place in house to do laundry. If you need any of the following items be prepared to put them on your grocery list as they are not available in the apartment: toilet paper, soap, shampoo, soap for dishes, salt, pepper, paper towels. The apartment has a decent view, wi-fi, the air-conditioners run very efficiently, the water is as hot as it needs to be yet I have never rented a place, hotel, apartment, condo or anything that did not have at least a little bars of soap, shampoo and some soap for the dishes! Juan is apparently out of town and on vacation so the guy that came by to collect the money for him for the rest of the rent after I paid the deposit through PayPal, did not respond to my call or WhatsApp message, Juan responded to an email and said he would tell somebody to come by but as of yet they have not. Remember this was not a complaint, just a heads up.

Should I have a problem of whatever kind, one day, he will be there to help me I am sure.
About your remarks:
- those are rented apartments, not hotel rooms with hotel services;.
- for a very reasonable amount (25 k or 30 k / day), you can have a lady coming to clean thoroughly your room every day or every other interval you may prefer; just request that to Juan or Adolfo and you will have fresh towels and a clean bathroom everyday like in hotel.
For me, daily cleaning and laundry are a must. The lady is fantastic. She comes every day after noon. She carries 1-hour-and-half ride by buseta in the morning to come and again in the afternoon to go back home, to come to Bocagrande to clean apartments. I am used to give her a very generous tip besides the "contractual amount", besides my respect and smile every time she comes, and then I get my apartment clean and brilliant like new, every day of my stay. She also washes towels and sheets every day and even offered me to wash my clothes (but I don't really need that). I love being pampered.
[QUOTE=ElMechanico;2033041].[/QUOTE]Thank you for your detailed feedback! Its funny you mentioned that warning. I noticed many ads with that particular phone number. So there are definitely several chicas working out of that establishment. By the way Camila's ad seems to be back up but her number ending in 025 is same as the one for the girl with whom you had a bad experience. Both ads show photos taken in the same room with a mirror in the corner.
Anyhow, appreciate your help and reviews.

Juan delivered the apartment as promised and I have no issues about the apartment. But I did have a problem with me having to go buy my own toilet paper and there being no soap or any of the other items I mentioned in here. I realize it's not a hotel room. I will use him again because I like the apartment & I'm sure the rest of his apartments are just as nice. However I will ask for the maid service and be prepared to buy my own toilet paper when I get there. Like I said Juan was out of town. Maybe if he had been in town he could've addressed my issues which Adolfo did not even though I called him and WhatsApped him!
Getting the maid to clean your room and your towels for a small fee is insider information. Had I known that I would have requested her, but it was not offered to me. I will request one next time and I will use one for my Cartagena rentals again.

EL Mechanico.
May 10,2017. On the ride to the airport this morning my taxi driver told me there was going to be a countrywide taxi strike tomorrow protesting the use Uber in Columbia. I have no idea if this is true or not but why would he make it up? So plan accordingly!
El Mechanico.
I arrived May 1st with my friend in Cartagena. It was labor day in Colombia so a good day to switch cities.
[B]Apartment[/B]
We stayed at a Palmetto building. Generally these buildings are quiet and good to stay at but not chica friendly unless you register the chica as a guest (same as yourself). Alternatively you can also register them as visitors. Curfews for visitors vary from 10 pm to midnight. Don't bother trying to bribe or argue your way out of the curfews. There will be a receptionist (typically female) and at least one security guard working with her (I've seen up to three). You would need to bribe both persons and get away with it. These buildings are fine for bringing in day game insofar as they are Colombian or in Colombia legally. Try bringing in a Venezuelan with an old stamp on her passport and they won't allow her in (or worse notify immigration). Yes, it's that bad.
This forced me to always use love motels at night when going to Centro; however I slept very comfortably, with zero noise issues except Monday night as the Colombian family on my floor spent their final night there. They had no respect for their neighbors and routinely yelled and ran in the hallway.
[B]Day game[/B]
I had contact with three touts. Two I had known from before, and one I had gotten his info from another poster. It turned out two of them worked together at Playa Hollywood: Edgar and Jason. Jason speaks English and Edgar does not. I was asked to make a choice between them after I bought a round of introductory beers and chatted a bit. I stuck with Edgar since I felt I had dealt with him before, that being said Jason seemed fine as well. In fact, Jason didn't want any tips until I left based on his performance.
I also had a tout who started working for a tourism company and had an official jacket and folder of tourist packages to buy. He always had "normal" chicas to offer me. Hotel receptionists. College Students etc.
Edgar's MO is fairly simple. He will send you lots of fb and instagram photos of chicas he knows. You pick one and he'll call her for you. If she's available she will join you at the beach in a half hour or so. The photos mostly matched. The upside to doing this as opposed to backpages is no bait and switch and no fear of being robbed. You could also negotiate right there on the beach as you chatted with them. The downside is I would grease Edgar's palm and he would routinely ask the girls if they wanted mixed drinks which are more expensive than beers by a factor of 3 x or 4 x. No matter how careful I was I would generally end up paying 100 k just for drinks and fruits at the beach. Then a 50 k tip to the tout. Nonetheless, the 150 k expenditure would give me a couple of hours at the beach with drinks and a chica to talk to before doing the deed.
The first girl Edgar called was a pretty hot Venezuelan but she had a cold sore, a rushed attitude, and only a photocopy of her cedula. I sent her packing with 20 k for a taxi. Edgar even agreed she was acting badly.
Then he had a couple of good looking chicas who were actually fun. They were both Colombians so I wasn't concerned about cedula issues. After an hour at the beach, we went to Avenida St Martin to grab some lunch. My buddy wasn't interested in the girl that was brought for him (thin the way he likes them), but I took my chica back to my place. She had a nice booty. We ended up fucking in the shower bareback. It was some sexy shit I tell you. I paid her 200 k without negotiating ahead of time. We kept in touch and I saw her in centro multiple times, but did not session again. I regret this. The only issue I had with her is she was shorter than my ideal size so I kept looking for more promising chicas.
There were more opportunities at the beach but by that time I had started fucking in Centro more regularly and had lots of contacts to call during the day. Just about every girl Edgar offered was either an indie working the plaza at night, or working one of the strip clubs in Cartagena (Isis, Pleyclub, or La Isla).
[B]An Old Friend[/B]
The last time I was in Cartagena, on my final night, I met two big booty (with ass4 days) chicas. I fucked one and told the other one I would be back for her. The second night I got in touch with her and she agreed to come over at 10 pm for 200 k. She showed up all dolled up in a gorgeous outfit.
Deep kissing, cuddling, the whole nine yards. She was going on about how good looking I was and how she had waited for me (hahaha). Still she was a sweet girl. At midnight the security guard came up and knocked on my door due to curfew. I paid her and we kept in touch. I would see her again at least twice, and despite some of her bullshit flattering she was the one I had most sessions with.
While she is definitely "full figured" so to speak, she has a really beautiful face. She is a single mother. One night I asked her why a woman as beautiful as her never married. He response made me feel bad. She told me all the good men were dead from drugs and crime. That there were more women than men in Colombia so she was never able to settle down. I think she had ateenage pregnancy. Tough life. I'll call her 'Lady be'.
[B]Isis[/B]
Monday night I took my buddy to Isis because the Plaza was dead at 11 pm, and LDV had three girls in it. Isis had some twenty girls. Tons of guys drinking. The girls were mingling with the guests, playing with their phones, dancing with guests or together, and at least one pole dance every twenty minutes. It was lively. Not a single big booty in the entire bunch. Mostly flaquitas. My buddy pulled his first, paid 280 k to Isis and the girl told him the hotel would cost 20 k. It was one block away instead of the hotels on the same street. That's all it cost him unless he tipped her. As far as I know you don't pay the chica directly.
Isis always had plenty of chicas, and the price was fixed. For my friend who spoke no Spanish that was perfect. It was point and click. He had two good experiences and one bad one.
[B]Clocktower Plaza[/B]
The Plaza did not get hopping until Wednesday night. Anywhere from a dozen to twenty chicas. It wasn't as busy as it was in January or November of last year. Still plenty of action. It's at its prime at midnight, and starts to empty out by 1 am as the chicas go to the various clubs. I had drugged up drunk chicas approach me, sober chicas cat call, and the shy ones only stand there looking at me. On Wednesday 'Lady be' showed up at the Plaza and waved me over. We went over to VIP where we drank and danced. While I was on the balcony, the girl from the beach saw me and sent me a photo of myself on the balcony on whatsapp. It was funny. We waved at each other. Then I spotted this thick bodied chica in a green outfit. The reptilian part of my brain lit up, and I went all Robocop with a targeting reticle pop up with "TargetAcquired. ".
I excused myself to go to the bathroom and Lady be gave me a big kiss on the lips. By this time she had taught me all the various kisses with all their respective names. It was cute but it was time to add a little variety to the trip. I went straight outside, be lined to the chica and exchanged numbers with her in a hurry. The funny thing is in Medellin this would never happen. Chicas were far more careful. Once you engaged in a normal conversation you could exchange numbers but just walking up and asking for a phone number was out of the question for me in Medellin. Chicas are more cautious on their home turf.
I took 'Lady be' to a love motel later that night and mostly face fucked her. By this time even bareback was on the menu but I did not partake.
[B]The Wife[/B]
I met up with the full bodied chica the next morning at 10 am for crepes and coffee. She was from Venezuela and had been in Cartagena the last two years with her kid. A really good chica. I offered her the usual 200 k but when she took off her clothes I offered her 400 k if she moved in with me. She thought about it for a few seconds and quickly agreed, including my request for bareback. Apparently she was not getting much in terms of business these days. Unfortunately, the buildingreceptionist refused to register her as a guest. Only as a visitor because the stamp was two years old. She was clearly in the country illegaly. We spent our days fucking, going to the casino, eating, and even taking a trip out to Rosario island.
There was only one downside to it. She wasn't too good out of bed. Every other woman I wifed up with would always hold my hand, rub my leg, and do the kinds of things a novia would do. This chica was too inexperienced to know those things. With that said I did not regret it because at midnight I could sneak away to the plaza for extra game when she left. Of course she would hilariously also be at the plaza but neither of us made a thing of it.
[B]La Dulce Vida, Elektra, and clubbing[/B]
La Dulce Vida is pretty much dead. The manager there explained it was because it's off season but 'Lady be' told me there was drama between a lot of chicas and that establishment. Evidently they started charging girls to work there. I'm not sure if its true.
Elektra doesn't get started until around 1 am (although you can arrive as early as 11 am). I only saw about a dozen girls in there at a time. I also saw drug use and it generally had a scummy feel to it. Also some real stupid shit like them advertising 3 beers for 30 k, and aftering I had ordered 3 charging me more. They told me I would have to order them all at once. I argued a little and the manager outright refused. This wasn't the only BS I had to deal with. LDV one night wouldn't let me in with bottled water?! I literally walked over to ISIS and drank my water there while watching some pole dancing then went back to LDV. Sheer stupidity.
On my final night I picked up Carolina in Elektra from Barranquilla. I wrote about her in a previous report. Not the best service but it did the job.
[B]Summary[/B]
Cartagena continues to be a favorite spot for me. The tourist areas are very safe. 200 k isn't that much when prepagos in Medellin are charging about as much. There's no casa action in the tourist areas but who cares? There's always more than enough pussy to go around. My only problem is finding an apartment building that is quiet and lets me bring back chicas whenever I want.
Thanks for the excellent and detailed report. I have a question regarding short time motels. Which ones around Centro did you end up using and is it safe to hop in a taxi with a random chica to drive to a love motel esp if it's outside Centro such as J (H) aiba or Las Dunas, spelling? I whatsapp'd with couple of Chicas posting online in CTG classifieds and these two motels were mentioned by both chicas.

Transportation: LFT to IAH to PTY to CTG was on time at about 10:20 Thu pm. Customs was easy and quick as we were the only flight coming in at that hour (I think)! Got to Torre Centauro (thru JUAN Ventura) & checked in by 11:00 pm. Taxi from or to airport 20 k COP. No haggling, no bartering, no nothing! 20 k COP.
Either paid 6 k COP in and around BocaGrande & Laguito or 8 k COP to El Centro / Clock Tower (10 k COP once late night from Clock Tower to Laguito). Return trip was easy. Early am trip to airport before rush hour, customs was a breeze, even left 10 min early CTG- PTY. PTY to MIA left 40 late because they were having problems with getting the baggage loaded, whatever that means. Clearing customs in MIA was sooo easy with Global Entry!! Almost the last one off the plane and the 2nd passenger thru customs! Worth it at twice the price! MIA- IAH- LFT all on time. The 17 hour back journey was brutal!!
LODGING: Rented room 302 in Torre Centauro from JUAN Ventura. Great location almost directly across the street from El Conquistador & just before the Hilton in Laguito. Great $65/ night room & I will be back. If you rent from JUAN, be sure to ask for the daily or every other day maid service & pay the extra $10-12 USD / day for her. I didn't know about this & had to go buy toilet paper & soap, shampoo, dishwashing liquid & had only 3 towels for the 5 day trip. I asked the Potrero and he said there were no washing machines in the building and I could bring my clothes to a local lavandaria. I am definitely not a fancy boy & don't need to be catered to or pampered but I have never been to an apt, condo, hotel, any kind of rental where there was no soap, a spare roll of TP, or soap for the dishes. I called ADOLFO (Juan's assistant) & Whatsapped him but he never responded. I emailed Juan (he was out of town on vacation) & he responded a day later & said he would send someone over but nobody ever showed up!
Food: Whomever recommended Quebracho was spot on! I can't remember when I had a better steak. If any of you out there are vegetarians, go to Quebrachos and have a steak & you'll never eat another bean sprout again! My goodness!! Steak and a bottle of water con gas for 60 k COP & that's with propina included! Thank you whomever recommended Quebrachos. Best meal of the trip. Ate fried fresh Pargo Rojo on the beach at a couple of the local hangouts, one was named Costa Azul, at the east end of Laguito where the beach becomes either Playa Hollywood or Playa BocaGrande. Every person I asked gave me a different starting and ending point for all the beaches. Anyway, the Pargo came with the typical sides, the coconut rice & fried plantain patties. Very good but I have had better fried fish on the beach at other places. I had a cup of ceviche en el Centro just outside the wall & spent that night on the toilet every 30 min! Thanks, never again!!
Went to La Mulata Mon for Lunch. Very nice, quaint Restuarant en el Centro that nobody in El Centro knows where it is except the people that work there. I pulled up the map on TripAdvisor and took a screenshot while on wifi at the condo & showed it to the Taxista & we got there no problem! Food was average at best (I eat fresh seafood 2-3 x / week in S. Louisiana) but a nice experience nonetheless. 2 thumbs up to whomever recommended Arepas Pues. Excellent Arepas at anytime of the day. They open at 4 pm and are open till 6:30 am for the late night boozers! What a great meal after a night of partying! 13 k COP for an arepa & a brew! Excellent meal for less than $5. Went to Friggi-Friggi on the advice of a cabbie when I asked him about where he would go for the best Arepa in town. He said Arepas Pues was for the tourists but Friggi-Friggi had a more traditional arepa with just egg and carne in it. 1/2 the cost, 1/2 the menu options and 1/2 as good as Arepas Pues! Good, but Arepas Pues wins this competition!
In el Centro, there are some little stands that sell various sweets. One that I got was called a cocomani. Not sure about the spelling but man I couldn't stop eating them. They couldn't have been good for you as it was coconut, sugar & whatever the mani is formed into a little cookie shaped treat! Talk about good!!
CHICAS: I put a fairly detailed mid trip report about the chicas I met on mileroticos so most of this is a repeat for some of you. But here it is again:
Be wary of these 2 chicas / ads:

The pleasant suprise of the trip was Kelita, a 24 yo cutie whom I met on Playa BocaGrande Mon afternoon. I was going to Costa Azul to sit and drink a beer or 2 & watch el Puesto del Sol, but thought I'd go for just a 5 min stroll to see what I could see while finishing my beer from the condo. She looked at me and smiled so I waved and she waved back, so we started walking toward each other, chatted for 10 min, she asked Te ayudo? When I told her I was going back to my condo to pack for my flight the next day. I knew it was on then! We exchanged #rs, I finished my walk, had a beer at Costa Azul, went back to the condo, & she was there in about 30 min. We showered & had our fun for about 1 1/2 hrs. Freaking Awesome! I told her she made an old mans dreams come true tonight & she seemed pleased to hear that! She told me beforehand via WhatsApp that she charges, I told her I kinda thought she did & asked her how much. She said 200 k COP but quickly agreed to 100 k COP. I wound up giving her 105 k COP because I had the 5 & she really had a good attitude. She declined dinner at one of those little open air restaurants up the street, I think it was Pizza Iguana. There are 3 right next to each other. Anyway, very nice find on my last night in Paradise. I will definitely do a lot more hanging out at the beach next trip!!
Now back to Pussy Prison.

[QUOTE=ElMechanico;2033974]Transportation: LFT to IAH to PTY to CTG was on time at about 10:20 Thu pm. Customs was easy and quick as we were the only flight coming in at that hour (I think)! Got to Torre Centauro (thru JUAN Ventura) & checked in by 11:00 pm. Taxi from or to airport 20 k COP. No haggling, no bartering, no nothing! 20 k COP.

[QUOTE=Frankfurt;2033925]Thanks for the excellent and detailed report. I have a question regarding short time motels. Which ones around Centro did you end up using and is it safe to hop in a taxi with a random chica to drive to a love motel esp if it's outside Centro such as J (H) aiba or Las Dunas, spelling? I whatsapp'd with couple of Chicas posting online in CTG classifieds and these two motels were mentioned by both chicas.[/QUOTE]I've taken a chica to both of those motels many a time, flagging down a random taxi in el centro, bocagrande or el laguito. I've never hopped into a taxi to join a random chica who was already using that particular driver if that's how you are asking the question. I prefer to get acquainted with the chica first, then we flag down the taxi to go to either of those motels you mentioned. I'm not hopping into a taxi with a chica I've never met and "her" driver friend, whom she already knows. Hope my response makes sense; not sure how you were posing the question.
Thanks for the response Hilltopper. My question was regarding the case you meet a chica in a bar and then together decide to go to motel or having an online girl meet you at a public place (clock tower for instance) and then hailing a cab. I am with you on the matter of hopping in a taxi if the chica is already in the cab to avoid any possible set up scenario. Your response did make sense, thank you.

Hey guys, g
Going to be there next weekend, my 3rd solo trip. I've been reading some mentioning of checking papers for those that aren't Colombian. Obviously we check to verify age, but is there something to be afraid of if your with a Venezuelan or some other nationality and happen to get stopped for a check or something by the police.
Also, haven't heard anything about Tony in a while. I mean, I feel he's an ass and scammer usually. But he does have access to a lot of girls. If read some other names lately but not more details like where or even a number. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I suspect right now, being off season, you won't see many hookers in Cartagena. Most of the ones you'll get are locals or Venezuelan refugees.

[/QUOTE]Every chica I took off that beach allowed bareback and took whatever I offered her. I think I'm up to 5 in the last year. One of them took a steady 400 k a day and I wifed up with. I don't think the tout was necessary but getting them outside of them element (the plaza, or one of the clubs) allows for more laid back introduction and the chicas tend to go with the flow.
Also Edgar isn't that bad. Maybe some of the other ones. I tried milerotic twice in Medellin and swore never again to use the backpages.
[QUOTE=ElMechanico;2033974]Whomever recommended Quebracho was spot on!

If you ask me about food, you'll not be disappointed to listen to me, in whatever country I have been.
Quebracho: undisputably the best steak in CTG (yet not the only place to go).
La Mulata: extremely touristic, but good and with good ambience. Take there your girl for lunch. It's not true nobody knows it in Centro! Maybe you were very far? From Reloy, walk towards San Diego, after 2-3 blocks turn right and ask any local.
Arepas Pues: it's where to go with your chicas after clubbing and before going to bed. Open 23 h /24 h (no kidding, I thought it was 24/24 but it is not, or so I understood. I never tried it at 6 am-7 am however).
For the most sophisticated place with excellent food, I go to Cuzco. And look at the door girl! You will be transparent for her, but her legs are to die for.

Just a heads up here guys, when in the CTG last week I brought mostly cash & exchanged at an exchange house near Torre Centaurio & got 2700:1. In El Centro I got 2750:1. I just checked my Schwab statement & got 3153:1 on a 200,000 COP withdrawal & 2965:1 on 2 seperate 300,000 COP withdrawals. Note to self, carry as little cash as possible, use the F-in Schwab card at the ATMs!

Guys,
Does anyone of you who have visited CTG, met or have come across this lady in the photo? I think she is using the name Francheska in her online ads. I haven't bargained or settled on anything but she is asking for 200 Mil COP + motel. Just wondering if any other member has first hand experience with her to say.
Thanks.

I met and used Edgar. He had two girls waiting when I arrived and one was a diamond. She was from Venezuela 22 and had the tightest body a great ass and perfect tits. From what I've seen on her IG account she spends her mornings working out. The first girl I spent the weekend with was off Tinder and also lots of fun and picked two off at the Torre around 11 PM. I think Edgar has a very good stable of fine women.
On our previous four visits to CTG, my girlfriend and I have rented condos and stayed at the Hotel Dann. I see that the Hyatt hotel has recently opened and we're thinking about staying there because we expect the food choices to be better. We typically like to pick up chicas for threesomes. Does anyone know if the Hyatt is guest friendly?
Thanks for any comments.

Others choose to rent an apartment in a building and from an owner / manager where the mere registration of one's guest is not a "hassle" or a "problem". It's one's choice. 11 years ago I made a choice to listen to other members here on where and who to rent an apartment from while in Cartagena. Other than when the administrator changed things up at the Mirador del Laguito, things have been pretty much hassle-free when it comes to bringing a guest (s) at any hour. What did I do when they adopted more restrictive policies at the Mirador? I stopped renting an apartment in that building and stayed in other nearby buildings. Seems fairly straight forward.
I wouldn't find it a hassle should the portero not let a Venezuelan chica in because she entered the country illegally. I'd say thanks amigo-good to know. Then if I wanted to bang her, we'd walk back out to the street, hail a taxi, and head to Las Dunas. Having to go that route ends-up costing what amounts to around $25 more (motel, r/t taxi) to bang the undocumented Venezuelan-still no biggie. Having those undocumented girls flood the market increased supply, which lowered prices, and it all washes out in the end, LOL.
Based on what you report, to minimize any cramping of one's style, one wouldn't stay at Palmetto Beach and / or Palmetto Eliptic unless one was wifed-up for the trip, or unless one accepted such policies as "no biggie". One may also want to add "are you in the country legally with stamped documentation" to the "do you have an ID question" before telling the taxi which direction to go when with a Venezuelan chica.
[QUOTE=Hilltopper;2046253]Sounds like you choose to go back to a building with such policies.[/QUOTE]Yes. You are right. I was told that the building would not give me issues but that was the salesperson misrepresenting things.
You are well versed in Cartagena. Is Juan pretty much it for girlfriendly apartments? His places are usually booked. A chica I know told me she will find a nice hotel for me in centro but I prefer Bocagrande for the peace and quiet at night.
Hey guys,
Little late report.
Was in Cartagena May 19-21. Late morning flight from Fll on jet blue. Painless. Landed. Cleared fast. Went to penthouse was renting from Juan. Was by myself but wanted a party. Get to building. Setup. Go in. Place is huge. Can't connect Wifi. I got downstairs and talk to front desk and he tells me where to find Juans guy, so I go and he connects Wifi, woohooo and we settle.
I head to my favorite restaurant at the corner where Hollywood turns to laguito, the one on the left at the very end with two stories. I was going there for the whole fried fish with is my favorite, and their octopus dish. I sit down have a beer and immediately I see three super hot chicks walking by. I they look, I wave, they wave, I wave them over. They sit down and have beer. All have great bodies but one has a pig face. We talk and they are Venezuelan, we have more drinks, take pics, tease, time flies and I need to leave and we exchange numbers. I didn't eat So a girl I met last time is set to come over, freaking 2 hours late. We play, have dinner, she leaves. Happened way fast but was 200 k. Whatever. She's cute.
So I go back to the apartment and I see my 2 Venezuelans. I text them to leave the other, we would go to centero, drink, party, then play. So anyway, only one can go up! I'm told one guest staying there can bring one girl! I said this is 3 bedroom apartment! I am a lone. I text Juans guy and he tells me this is the rule. I was not happy about this. I mean I never figured to ask. Never had this issue. So they leave. I help them some. So I go up and chill and text a girl from tinder that is local. She comes over an brings some California herbs for me. Wow it sucked. Ahaha. So we just stay in and play alll night, 300 k. Next morning play, breakfast, adios.
The day I walked all of old city. Went to la cevicheria, and several other famous restaurants all day and stuffed my face. It was amazing and I spent like 100 $.
That evening I went to arepa pues. My god the arepa with chicharron is amazing. This is my first time there and I will make it my first stop next time. I can confirm new hours. It opens I think 4 pm and closes 4 or 5 am.
So walking back I run into Venezuelans walking. All dressed. I said I need to shower. I text them on WhatsApp later but never connected.
I go to a Peruvian restaurant in centro that's well known, have their octopus dish and a fillet on mushroom risotto. Amazing food.
I head back, to the apartment. Walking up I see a cute girl and talk, take her up for a quickie 150 k.
Next morning I wake up, walk around early, nothing happening. Stop for some breakfast. Head to centro to walk around and shop, buy some nice art pieces. For the first time I ran into a police officer harassing a homeless disabled man. It was disturbing, I kept my head down and walked away.
Flew home, sat on runway for 30 minutes at Fll because everything was full for international. Got off, global entry, passed everyone.
I enjoyed it. I didn't get out too much for girls but this trip was about doing what I want. Unfortunately due to normal life I have a schedule that wakes up early and bed early, so I'm not a late night person. I do feel the girl scene has changed a lot. Prices low. It was very humid and hot and extremely windy, but no rain. I changed clothes like 3-4 times a day.
Penthouse was pointless for me and now I know to ask about how many girls for myself. Food scene is getting great. There is a ton of building going on. Also! I know they don't make much, but no one even has change for 20,000. It was getting really annoying. Several times I paid a taxi way too much. I mean, whatever. 8 $. But still! Come on, 20,000 is too much to change. If I go back I need to exchange for lots of small bills!
Sorry for the shitty typing. All on iPad.

If I'm wifed-up, then the more restrictive buildings and hotels are fine and if I want a little variety, I take the stray cat to a "love motel". Oh, I've also rented from Mery, but it's been several years and most of her apartments were in Mirador del Laguito and I quit staying there after they put in a bunch of restrictions.
Juan's apartments can be found here: http://www.venpro.net/fotosapartamentos/index.php
[QUOTE=Rzrfl69;2046314]Hey guys,
Was in Cartagena May 19-21. Late morning flight from Fll on jet blue. Painless. Landed. Cleared fast. Went to penthouse was renting from Juan. Was by myself but wanted a party. Get to building. Setup. Go in. Place is huge. Can't connect Wifi. I got downstairs and talk to front desk and he tells me where to find Juans guy, so I go and he connects Wifi, woohooo and we settle.
Flew home, sat on runway for 30 minutes at Fll because everything was full for international. Got off, global entry, passed everyone.
Penthouse was pointless for me and now I know to ask about how many girls for myself. Food scene is getting great. There is a ton of building going on. Also! I know they don't make much, but no one even has change for 20,000. It was getting really annoying. Several times I paid a taxi way too much. I mean, whatever. 8 $. But still! Come on, 20,000 is too much to change. If I go back I need to exchange for lots of small bills!
[/QUOTE]Good, informative report! Yeah, one of those first steps right up there with unpacking and getting WiFi working is getting some small bills, LOL!! In Laguito, I hit up the tienda just down from the florist for a few items and get the change for a $50 mil bill. Also typically hit the little pharmacy in the other direction toward the Hilton and the little tienda next to it on the corner with the tables outside. All three of those places have never had a problem with my paying with 50's or 20's even though I'm only buying a small item or two.
While I typically don't use Uber in Cartagena (I do elsewhere in Colombia), doing so does eliminate the need for small bills for paying taxis.
Had that same 30 minute wait on plane at FLL a week after you. Only thing that bothered me was the other passengers; some folks just lack consideration and think only of themselves, as if their time is more important than the next guy's. Sit your ass back down like they announced, quit complaining and wait it out like the rest of us. It is no wonder there are so many problems on flights these days. I digress.
Thanks for confirming that Mirador del Laguito still has the one chica per guy rule in effect. Figured they did, but it's always good for readers to get periodic updates to learn if anything has changed.
I will be in Cartagena in a couple of weeks.
I will stay in one of Juan's apartments. I wonder if any of you have been before in "Playa" building? Any comments?
Also, I wonder if in Cartagena anyone can buy the "blue pills" over the counter. I am not sure to use them, by I just want to know.
I haven't read recent posts about LDV. Why? I had good memories of that place.

1) The Playa Mar Building. Have stayed there many times. Chica friendly. Good, friendly porteros who are helpful and keep a good eye out.
2) Blue pills. Yes, available at any pharmacy. There is a pharmacy a couple of buildings to your right after you exit Playa Mar toward the Hotel Hilton. Vit "C" as well. There are various generic versions available and no prescription needed. They are right there in the glass case.
3) LDV. Closed. The same bar and wait staff work at a location in the old city not far from the Clock Tower toward the Isis strip club.

There is a number of generic brands available. I recommend to avoid the original brand (too expensive, when the same molecule is produced widely and easily) and to focus on first-rank Colombian pharma industry brands.
I am used to buy a stock for one year of my needs, as I never know when I will be back to Colombia. That's why a price difference on the order of 20%-50% is very important for me. I ask to several pharmacies if they have my preferred brand and what is the cost.
Gentlemen,
Here is my brief trip report on Cartagena. First thanks to all the contributors on this forum without whom we would not have access to the wealth of tribal knowledge that resides on this forum.
To get couple of things out of the way- I am by no means an expert in South American scene as many contributors on this forum. My few trips to Central and South America were / are more of a side trips while I travel from Europe to North America on business assignments. That means I can only take short trips of 3-4 nights or so. My Spanish is limited which also limits my real time options- hence I rely on making pre-departure contacts to maximize my time. On that note, I relied on my whatsapp contacts that I developed scouring online ads on local Cartagena classifieds etc. I am also only a night time pussy-chaser-daytime, I usually spend doing the touristy things and taking care of my small business related to G rated tourism.
Arrival & Hotel:
As my main purpose was tourism and only had 3 days in CTG, I opted to stay within the old city. I knew that bringing in a chica could be a challenge (more on that later), I still decided to stay in walled city in a small hotel very close to the clock tower.
Arrived mid day on a beautiful hot simmering day- not a drop of rain, beat the lazily walking selfie taking passengers and was first in immigration line and was out the airport in less than 5 minutes. Ignored the taxi touts as I had to first find an ATM to get local currency. Thanks to previous posts from which I knew the location of ATMs in the Departure terminal. There are three or four ATMs of different local banks located in the departure terminal (I think just before the security screening area on the left side if you are facing the security zone). Got some cash out for the day and headed to taxi stand.
Fortunately my taxi driver had honesty written all over his face and eyes and was an older gentleman who spoke some English. He is originally from Bogota but moved to CTG for work -had forgotten to ask him about the fare as he had right away jumped into conversation. If I recall it was 15 Mil Pesos (4.5 E, $5). He asked if he can give me a ride back to airport when I leave and I agreed. Quite a gentleman, I have his Whatsapp if anyone wants it.
Arrived at hotel, got a good look at the staff and asked how long till they change shift etc etc. Took a shower and strolled out looking for food -barely walked a block and was drenching in sweat. You need at least 3 change of clothes per day in CTG if you don't want to stink to yourself (I think). Ate at a local restaurants where I didn't see a single gringo inside. Pointed and ordered the food looking at the pics on the menu. Solid lunch with two beers cost me less than $8. Not bad at all, ate there two more times during my stay and got a hug from the owner lady as well. Priceless.
Touristy stuff:
Had a pre arranged private tour for 4 PM. The tour guide was already waiting at hotel for me when I returned from lunch. In a past trip to Croatia I had lured my tour guide to meet me for dinner and yada yada but unfortunately this tour guide had excellent English skills but not easy on the eyes. Shall we say, the tour was strictly academic and worth the price of admission. Although it wasn't part of the itinerary, she also gave me a tour of Getsemani.
Just when the tour ended, I started planning for the evening and contacted the girl I had been in touch with pre-departure. Total sweetheart, 20 something, didn't speak much English but worked hard on making contact with me which compelled me to pursue her. I found her via this websie [URL]https://co.mileroticos.com/escorts/bolivar/en-cartagena/.[/URL] We agreed on meeting at 9 PM at my hotel. I told her if there are any issues with the front desk, we can go to the short time hotel La Jaiba I believe (also mentioned on this forum).
She was little late as I had expected -I had thought she would call me when she was nearby or in lobby but she rang my room doorbell which was surprising and great. I asked her about front desk and she just shook her head. We had built up some chemistry due to whatsapping. She was immediately DFKing and reaching for the little brother. She had hot tight body just as I like it (pic attached). No holes were off limit -let's just say that. We had a great time. She was supposed to stay for an hour but at this time it was already 11 PM. I payed her agreed upon donation and if I am not mistaken, it was around $50. I asked her if she wanted to have dinner, she agreed.
We had dinner around the corner at the place of her choice. I had an awesome steak and she had some seafood. Total sweetheart and a keeper. The following morning I had an early departure for touristy stuff so didn't ask her to stay the night but promised to stay in contact.
All in all a great first half day in CTG.
Next day all day on the boat doing the touristy stuff which was great. Again clear blue skies and no rain in sight. Got back to old city weather and sun beaten around 5 PM. For this night had another girl lined up which I found on CTG BP (pic attached that she sent me). On BP she has a fake pic as she wants to maintain her privacy. She like the first girl lives with her family (at least that's what they told me). We decided to meet at 9 PM. I offered her to meet for dinner but she declined. Unfortunately this time around, the guy at the front desk wanted to assert his power and gave me some speech about room being booked for one person only -which by the way was not true and my [URL]booking.com[/URL] email confirmation showed I booked it for two people. Long story short, my girl lead the discussion with him in rapid Spanish. I signed some paper for $15-20 guest fee, he took her Cedula and off we went to the room. The girl has a smoking body and is a local student. Not as passionate as the first girl and no back door business with her. I felt she was in a rush but I still got a complete hour with her with a satisfying O for me. Night two in the books.
My last day in CTG, did some souvenir shopping and some more touristy stuff, trip to Laguito etc. For my last night I wanted to sample the local pick up bars, LDV etc. Started the evening at Donde Fidel and had drinks at bars along the clock tower plaza. It was around 11 PM and much to my dismay, most of the bars were empty. Stumbled upon LDV (new location in Centro) which is right next door to another well known club (Escape? Anyhow I can't recall as there was tussle between the door men of the two clubs vying for my business. The bouncer at LDV spoke good English and had me convinced to go to his establishment. Again much to my dismay, it was past mid night and the club was far from hopping. I saw may be 10-15 girls and hardly 4 guys. Many bored looking chicas on their phones but three or four girls approached me. The bouncer came in asking for tip! I said later when I leave. Had few overpriced drinks at LDV and chatted up a GND looking chica (pic attached) who was nice and didn't come across as a shark. We had some good laughs and left the club together around 1 AM. I can't recall but there is a bar fine or minimum number of drinks that LDV charges for take out. Walked to my hotel and I was dreading if same dude from last night would be there but this time it was a different dude with ear to ear smiles when we walked in (you have to ring door bell to enter after hours). He simply took her ID and off we went. The girl was total sweetheart, no rush, no talk of $, took a shower and was DFK ing while throwing the towel away. There was no foreplay, just old fashioned hard fucking till she came just when I was about to blow my horn. We laid there catching our breaths and I asked her if she would like to stay the night, she agreed. We dozed off and at around 6 AM I was all over her groping her like only Arnold would. Long story short, she didn't want to come down with me for breakfast around 9:30 AM. She wanted to take shower and leave separately -ah the walk of shame gets all of us one time or another. We said good byes, I paid her in USD 150. She didn't count or looked at it.
I was off to airport short time after breakfast. My trusted driver was at the door in lobby good 15 minutes before our agreed upon time. God bless him but there is no God- nevertheless bless him anyways!

[/QUOTE]Generally, taxis in Cartagena are pretty honest because they're busy enough that there isn't much pressure to over charge. It can range from 15 k to 30 k depending on the distance from the airport.

[/QUOTE]More than I saw at LDV last time. Isis is just up the street from it. They're both similar but Isis tries to be a 'stripclub. ' If you decide to go back check out the clocktower plaza between 11 pm and 1 am. The hookers will come out in force when the touristy restaurants all close. Then they'll slowly end up at various nightclubs (including LDV) or just go home.
El Mechanico,
Thanks and nothing was missing from my room. I was having breakfast downstairs and saw her come down, get her ID, nod at me and leave. Secondly, at all times I keep my three must-have objects with me at all times -wallet, passport and work laptop. So there is never anything of value in room for anyone to take -I have now become used to travel without IPads, Kindles and fancy Bluetooth speakers.

As I mentioned in my post -it was around $55-65 USD after conversion. They both quoted me in COL Peso. I don't have old messages from them in my Whatsapp but I am quite sure they quoted in range of 150-190 K Pesos.

The reason I ask is I never leave a chica alone in the room for theft and damage to the room reasons. Also, I read in the Guatemala thread that a chica asked a guy to escort her out & to the corner to hail a cab & when he returned, he discovered a missing cell phone and iPad. She wanted ample time to get away so that's why she had him walk down with her so it would take 5 min or so for him to get back up. How you don't catch that as you are leaving the room I don't know? So, some are so good they can snatch your stuff while you are still in the room!

El Mechanico.[/QUOTE]A snatcher can't take what you don't leave out. Cell phone and iPad both fit inside a locked safe. As a precaution, I try to always secure things before leaving the apartment to go out chica hunting. I know I'm most likely going to be distracted by the chica and the liquor I drank while out, so it makes sense for me to spend 10 minutes putting things away before I go out. I have had a chica snatch a bottle of lubrication and pack of condoms before she left without my knowing, LOL. Some will look in the fridge and just take without asking. I can't imagine going into the home of a person I just met and opening up their refrigerator without asking, LOL. One of the reasons I'm not a fan of bringing a girl from Space back to the apartment, as the proportion of snatcher types (typically goes hand-n-hand with chronic drug users) that hang at that place has run higher in my experience. When sizing them up and establishing a rapport / chemistry, if she appears to be the scandalous type and I still want to do her, off to a love motel we go. Although you then have to keep an eye on the mini bar and decide whether you want to lay down the rule that their fee will be reduced by the goodies they get, as they will certainly grab things that will be added to your motel tab, LOL.
Thankfully I've had many more experiences with chicas like the one Frankfurt had; the ones who actually have some decent manners and are respectful of your things, etc. The ones who stay all night, do ya again in the morning, never ask or talk about how much, straighten up the bed and clean-up in the kitchen, etc., before they leave, and don't even look at the money you hand them with a kiss before they head out the door. Those are the types that keep a feller coming back for more!

Oh the bar next door that you referred to is called "Space". It's fitting, as many of the chicas there at 4 a.m. are spaced out drug users. Unless things have changed (I haven't been to Space in awhile), there typically aren't more than a couple of chicas there at the time you mentioned (past midnight). If I were to go to Space looking for a higher number of chicas, I'd go around 3:30 a.m. View it as an "after-hours" type place. Again, unless things have changed in the last 6 months or so.
Hilltopper,
Thanks for correction, yes that's right Space!
I also realized how the night scene is different in Cartagena compared to other cities and night time activities. Even in Hong Kong -equally hot and muggy but the bars and clubs start humming around 10 PM, peaking at 11-1 AM. In CTG I noticed that bars were empty and no it wasn't even Monday or Tues. It was Thursday if I am not mistaken and I was the only one at the bar having a drink at Tu Candela with 2-4 boring looking people trying to dance.
I also realized that at this point in my life I prefer a decent night of sleep, at least 6-7 hours and get up early by 7 AM. I don't take naps -so the idea of being out at 2 AM hunting cuties at Clock Tower was out of question for me. I am sure I didn't get to sample all that Cartagena had to offer in terms of chicas but I left happy with my choices. Even minus the chica scene, a great historic place to see and experience.
Cheers!

We laid there catching our breaths and I asked her if she would like to stay the night, she agreed. We dozed off and at around 6 AM I was all over her groping her like only Arnold would. Long story short, she didn't want to come down with me for breakfast around 9:30 AM. She wanted to take shower and leave separately -ah the walk of shame gets all of us one time or another. We said good byes, I paid her in USD 150. She didn't count or looked at it.
I was off to airport short time after breakfast. My trusted driver was at the door in lobby good 15 minutes before our agreed upon time. God bless him but there is no God- nevertheless bless him anyways![/QUOTE]Nice report FrankFurt! Like you I too am a one and done kinda guy. I would rather have one quality encounter than 2 or 3 mediocre ones. Sounds like your girl picks all worked out.
TTM.
Guys,
Thanks for the positive feedback on my CTG trip report -found a couple pics in my delete folder. Here goes before I clean my phone up. Not showing her face based on her request.
My stay in Dann Carlton hotel was good but it was time to move to Cartagena. Our new friend Steven the Uber driver took us to the airport. During our ride Steven technically gave us a guided tour, he knows everything about the city and was very proud about it. He charged us nothing although we insisted, we gave him 30 k for gas. Traveling inside country is easier than doing an international flight, you can be just one hour before the flight without problems. You don't have to take out your shoes and all of that post 911 shit. Traveling from Medellin to Cartagena was a 50 minute ride, it costs $109 round trip in Avianca. It cost less if you use discount carriers. I spent almost all flight playing Pac Man from Avianca's entertainment package. Most people traveling are locals so they do not go with much bags, it was easy to store my luggage inside the plane.
Cartagena airport is next to the sea so I got the impression we were going to "land" overseas. Getting out the airport is fast. We go outside and temperature was 30 grades Fahrenheit higher than in Medellin. We asked for a cab, I told I was going to Bocagrande-Laguito area, he came with a ticket from a machine, 18,500 pesos was the cost. We arrived to Dann Cartagena in about 20 minutes, it was a nice seaside ride. During our ride we felt the beach vibe, guys wearing shorts, ladies in bikini, lots of restaurants, hotels and stores. Tour guides and buses everywhere. From the outside Dann hotel looks like an apartment building. We got a welcome drink and headed to room 1307. The room was clean, modern, comfortable and most important: with ice cold air conditioning. Dann hotel has an Exito supermarket across the street with a Bancolombia ATM inside, very convenient. We decided to walk along the public beach, hotel has a door from pool area to the beach. People from Cartagena are darker skinned than Medellin paisas. Costeas ladies are more curvy too. Lots of people selling things and ugly ladies offering massages populate the beach, we just ignored them or a "no gracias" worked ok. We saw a couple of working ladies. We walked along main Avenue or Carrera 2 where most of hotels and business are. Back to the hotel we sipped a couple of refreshing mojitos from Viejo Migue beach bar outside the hotel, great mojitos BTW.
Around 9:00 pm we took a cab to the old city. The cost was 7,000 pesos although most transfers from. To old city cost 8,000 pesos. One driver gave us his number to take us later to Casa Rocio, Cartagena oldest brothel outside the tourist area.
We entered the old city by the clock tower entrance. We walked half the city until we hit a artisan beer place where I had a refreshing german beer. We walked back to the clock tower area and stopped inside Donde Fidel bar where puerto rican classic salsa is played all the time. Beer there was cold but gets hot faster than in Medellin. Once outside we walked around the plaza to notice it is now populated by a lot of mostly pretty ladies. A few guys offered to guide us to LDV and Isis which are nearby places where 40,60, 100 or 200 ladies work, depending of the promoter's assertion.
I interviewed a lot of ladies by the clock tower plazaduring the night. Most of them are from outside Cartagena Looking for tourist cash. Barranquilla, Pereira, Cali, Bogot, Venezuela among other places were mentioned as their place of origin. Their age was from 18 to mid 30's although some girls look younger than 18. Although all girls are there to earn money for their expenses some of them apparently enjoy their job. I saw a few travesties by clock tower entrance.
By 1:00 am I saw a petite girl wearing shorts that I liked a lot. Girls in Colombia are not as aggressive as Dominican girls, you almost always have to do the initial approach. I asked this girl how much, she told me 60,000 pesos. All other girls quoted me from 100,000 to 250,000 pesos. We headed to a nearby hotel where I was charged 30,000 pesos for short term. She was petite, young, curly black hair, marihuana hazel eyes. Inside that room she provided me the best sex I have had in years. We did everything including anal. It was not GFE until she get comfortable with me. She gave me a massage and asked for a full body to her including masturbation and oral. It was nice. I gave her a tip and we went outside.
She wanted me to take her pictures with my iphone by the clock tower area and that is when things got weird. We went there and I took her a couple dozen pictures. Once we finished she went to get her wallet, she put it on the wall under the clock tower and guess what, it was not there. She was screaming her wallet was stolen. She asked me if I saw who took it. I told her I never noticed she put the wallet on the wall. Was this a scam to get something. ? Was it done with the help of other people? Who knows. One of the travesties suggested to call the police and confiscate my iphone as evidence. I get mad and said hell no. I gave the lady 20,000 pesos for a cab ride and rapidly entered to a cab back to the hotel. You can kill my parents, rap e my sister, steal my car but there are two things you can never do: eat my food or take my phone away from me.
While I was going back home the cab driver asked what happened, I told him and he was sorry for that. Half our ride we got stopped by the police. I just imagined me inside a colombian jail without my iphone. Lucky me it was a regular preventive road block. I got to my hotel minutes later. My cousin was there sleeping and roaring like a hungry lion. He got awake and told me it was good with the lady he chose. She was a busty fake one in her 30's that charged him 200,000 pesos. I told him that that girl was going out the motel I used with a guy and that when I went out of my room she also went out of another room with a third guy. He rejected a lady he was talking once that lady entered by the clock tower. The lady he was with send him a picture, she was in the picture on a boat with the other lady, the one he rejected. These girls know each other. That day ended by 5:00 am I am going to split my Cartagena report because it is too long.
While I was deleting the pictures taken to the petite girl I noticed her purse was there until the end, it was taken away by the garbage man. I remember she asked that guy, he told her he saw nothing. If I stayed there it was going to be trouble for me since my phone really had evidence of the "steal".

This is my report:
Day one. I arrived to Cartagena late night (around 10 pm). Once in Juan's apartment I bought some groceries in a supermarket. About 11 pm I went to downtown. In Clock tower, there were many working girls. Nevertheless, I decided to take a look at LDV. I miss the old time in LDV: Even when there were around 10 girls there, no one was a gorgeous one. I did not feel with the mood to even talk with any of those girls. So, I went back to the clock tower. I met a girl from Bogotá named Daniela. She was cute and with a nice boobies and ass (both operated, but not exaggerated). She asked for Cop $150 K. I invited her for a while to VIP disco. Later we went to my apartment. The sex was great.
Day two. During the day, I walked around the old city. At night, I decided to send messages to Daniela. She told me she was going to be with a friend at he the clock tower. Around midnight I passed by the clock tower and send her a message. After some chat both girls accepted to going with me a love motel (Jaiba) for about Cop $ 200 K. I felt that it was a bargain. We had good sex.
Day three: During the day I again did some tourist activities in the walled city. At night, I spent a lot time looking for a nice girl in the downtown. I visited LDV and found a nice girl, but she requested Cop $ 300, and refused to reconsider the price. I was going in my way to Space when I find a pretty cute girl. She told me she was from Barranquilla. Her name was Gina. She accepted to dance with me for a while in VIP bar, and then we went to my apartment for Cop $ 200 K.
Day four. Since this was going to be my last night, I decided to spend good money in a gorgeous girl. I spend much time in the downtown and visited LDV twice. Finally, in the LDV I saw a very voluptuous girl. She was from Barranquilla also. After some negotiation, she accepted to spend all night with me for Cop $ 400 K.
The following morning, after wake up, I had to run to the airport.
I appreciate all the information I found in this forum. I finally decided to buy the "blue pill". I bought it in an "Olimpica" in Bocagrande in my last night. The information about Juan's apartments, the prices of the girls, where to find them, and so on were priceless.

Was her name Carolina by any chance? Wide hips? Curious. I did not have a good session with her.[/QUOTE]Hello YippieKayay,
Nope. She told me her name is Giselle (or something like that). I had a good time with her.
So after 24 hours of traveling, I finally made it to Cartagena around 12:30. I made it to my abode and hit the ATM around 1:30, realized I didn't have any condoms and decided that I might have to find a girl that has some before finally hit the Clock Tower around 2. When I got there (finally all out of excuses), I was just about to walk up to the Clock Tower plaza when a couple of cops on a motorbike drove up the sidewalk past me. Sure, there were some girls out there looking fine, but IDK how I feel about trying to get a working girl in front of a cop. Is that a valid concern, or did I puss out?
I'm sure there's something somewhere in the forum about this, but I'm fucking exhausted. I'll look in the morning after I sleep for 12 ours. Wait, that'll make it afternoon XD.

It is not illegal, but some neighborhoods don't like places with a bunch of freelancers and loud music. So, some of those places get closed down.
First post and first time in Cartagena. I must have misread this forum as I thought La Dolce Vita (LDV) was in Bocagrande so I took a taxi (10 k peso) from the Clock Tower there and did not find it. A taxi driver parked nearby called out told me LDV is now in Centro Historico and took me 'back' there (20 k peso). LDV is on the eastside of Calle del Porvenir just north of Calle Vincente Garcia. It's Monday night at 11 pm and the place was dead. There were 6-8 girls sitting at the bar all not my type. They were about 5's. A beer cost 20 k pesos. I walked down to Elektra Bar nearby on the southside of Calle del Tablon and there were no one inside so I ventured to the Clock Tower about 12 am. There were 15-20 SWs and 2 were 8's. I spoke to one with gorgeous ass she said she was from Venezuela and asked for 250 k pesos for 1 hour at nearby ST hotel where the room cost 30 k pesos. I wanted to take her back to my hotel so I declined and went back to LDV. Still same girls but now a new girl shows up looking like Penelope Cruz. She said she is from Venezuela. Her price was 300 k pesos so off we went back to my hotel. Wow she had small tits but great in bed hot and horny as hell. After I finished she insisted on finishing and took my left finger stick up her ass and my right finger rubbing her clit until she came. The Venezuelan reputation is intact.
I stayed at Hyatt Bocagrande and it is girl friendly but you need to book for 2 persons and the first girl is free and can come back again. If you bring a different girl they charge 80 k pesos. Taxis to / from Hyatt and Centro Historico cost 10 k pesos.
[QUOTE=AsianViajero;2059086] I walked down to Elektra Bar nearby on the southside of Calle del Tablon and there were no one inside so I ventured to the Clock Tower about 12 am..[/QUOTE]Thanks for the report. Down the street from LDV there's Isis. The cost back in May was 280 k for the girl and 20 k to the love motel she takes you to. Elektra does get going but usually around 1 am Thursdays to Saturday nights. This is the late night scene which includes clubs like Space. I only sampled it once. Way too fucking late for me.
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2057827]Prostitution is not illegal in Colombia. You can pick up hookers in front of police. They don't care. They pick up hookers too.[/QUOTE]It's not illegal, but in a decent neighborhood, people don't want to see it. Unless you are in a known RLD, you should be discreet.
I was walking back from a hostel where I was drinking beer with these girls I met yesterday, and I got stopped by a cop who couldn't even stand his motorbike up. As in he banged the front wheel into the curb and floored the bike. Anyway, he proceeded to question me about where I was staying and where my passport was. After I told him I was staying in an airbnb and my passport was in my room, he made me empty my pockets. After that, he let me go. Fortunately, I wasn't carrying any drugs or anything, or I might not be writing this report right now.
Time: about 1 am on a Monday night / Tuesday morning.
Place: centro historico. Yeah, right in the midst of all the nice looking shops.
Offending Police: 1 officer on a bike (but maybe he was too drunk or fucked up on coke to keep it upright?
I realize that this is not exactly a mongering report, but watch your ass at night in Cartagena. In fact, watch your ass in all of Colombia at night for that matter.

The first time it was a little unnerving and quite awkward to randomly be asked to get out of the taxi, have them look in the car, asked a bunch of questions, asked to produce ID and empty my pockets, etc. , but just like your experience, each and every time it amounted to nothing. Why? Because like you, I wasn't doing anything illegal. While it can be an inconvenience, I just look at it that I'd much rather have them around than not. We're not criminals or doing anything illegal, so I just take it in stride and remember that they are on our side.

The police is there to keep your ass safe. Without so many policemen on bikes, night and day, trust me you could not walk around the city with or without girls. Cartagena (centro) became safe and so enjoyable by international tourists after the police started to patrol massively the streets of central areas.
I remember my first visit to Cartagena, some 10 years ago: after sunset, going out through the gate of the Walls under the Reloy was simply insane. Gangs of teens were just waiting someone to rob around the Parque del Centenario area.
I think I wrote this countless times, in this thread and also in the one of Medellin: my personal experience says that Police in Colombia in general, and in CTG in particular, is very professional.
I have been stopped and searched 1-2 times on most of my stays in Colombia, most times at night but sometimes also during the day (in Medellin, Bogota and Cartagena). I've never had a single problem. Each time, after no more than 5 minutes, after they had explored my pockets and examined documents, I received only big smiles and "welcome to Colombia".
Nothing to worry, if you have done nothing wrong. Being with a girl is not a problem. Why should it be? You are not in USA. There, you can have a gun in your pocket, but if you are with a girl dressed too sexy, presumably a street girl, hmmmmm. TROUBLE!
Police in Cartagena looks for drugs, as many foreign tourists in CTG are consumers. If you don't have, as I don't, there is no reason to worry. Just smile and respond positively to their professional inquiries. Their approach is severe at first, but once they see there is nothing wrong, they relax and the meeting will end up in pats-down and smiles.

Hi everyone,
I was in Cartagena about a month ago and looking to do another trip in September. I'm trying to decide between Panama and Cartagena, leaning towards Panama. Can anyone tell me what the main differences between the two places might be? My thinking is that Cartagena has more to do during the day and better beach (as opposed to pretty much no beach in Panama), and the girls are pretty much the same as the girls who work in Cartagena are generally the same ones who go to Panama? Prices are higher in Panama if I am correct?
Any help would be appreciated. I'm leaning towards Panama for something new but just wanted to get people's opinions.

If I understood it right, the official price between Bocagrande / Laguito and Centro is COP 6400 plus possible night surcharge (21-05) of COP 500. If the driver says 8000 or 9000, I'm OK with that.

There are some that are at the clock tower before, but very few. Once the normal businesses like restaurants close down, and the tourist goes back to his hotel to recharge, the prostitution begins.
Honestly, I have no idea what a cop would do if he found you with a bit of pot but I suspect you'll at least get a 'fine. '.

Go to the Panama Canal one day, do the Red Bus tour of the city for a day or 2, go to the seafood market & eat lunch at one of the outdoor restaurants there, stay near Cafe Habanos (which is close to the Veneto) & do your mongering. It is easy to set up day time action with one of the girls you meet at the Veneto of Habanos.
You are correct that PTY is a bit more expensive than CTG as far as girls go & practically no beach activity at all in PTY.
Since you have been to CTG, you can compare the 2 & decide for yourself. At minimum you will have seen the Canal which is quite impressive.

[/QUOTE]For Panama City (Panama) there are a couple of options close to the city. One is the resorts just outside of the city like The Westin Playa Bonita which I have taken a chica too a lot in the past. When it's in season the resort has a bunch of nice upscale restaurants, and a nice pool. The beach itself at the Westin is so-so. Your other option is one of the islands off the city. There are a couple of them I believe. I've never been but they're there. The water isn't particularly clean or nice given all the ships that go to the canal on the pacific side. However, in Cartagena you can get to some half decent beaches on the islands outside the city but it's hit and miss, and the vendors are a plague on the beach experience.
The only downside to Panama City compared to Cartagena is that outside of the canal and a some eco-tourism there isn't much to do in Panama City during the day. Unless you like fishing maybe or gambling. The reason for this is that Panama City isn't a tourist city per se. If you step out of your downtown hotel in Panama City at 8 am you'll see people emerging from the subway and going to work. I would suggest doing a few days in PC to get a feel for it and then decide.
I'll say one thing in favor of Colombia: cheaper pussy, and better service overall. By service I mean Colombians tend to take more pride in their work at restaurants and hotels. I've seen that especially in Medellin.
Can anyone suggest a girl friendly place in the old city? I am kind of getting bored staying in Laguito.
Also anyone have any other places to visit that might have day action? Other destinations. Cartagena is kind of getting boring to me overall and I am not a super late person anymore.

- I wasn't impressed by the girls at the Clock Tower. I thought they were just average. I might be spoiled because I came from partaking at Bogota's Chicas Milenio. The girls there were similar with lower prices.
- There were streetwalkers across the street from the Clock Tower (as you leave the walled city). Most were butt ugly. But one was very cute. But she was of dubious age.
- A lot of guys were touting Isis.
- Spent some time at Isis. It's supposedly a strip joint, but there wasn't a lot of stripping going on. Most of the girls were above average. If you like girls with large breasts, this is the place. But with the large breasts, many came with a large ass. I prefer the small bubble butt asses that the Thais and Pinays have. But those were prefer that type of body, Colombia is it (I haven't been to Brazil yet).
- Prices were 280 K COP. If you wanted to pay with US dollars, the prices were slightly higher (if you got the good exchange rate).
- But most of the girls would not do BBBJ. A bummer. One girl said she would do everything. I took her out and went to that short time motel. Horrible service. That put me into a negative vibe.
- I took an Uber from the old walled city to Playa Hollywood a few times, and walked back for my health walk. Once, there were couple of girls that were waving to me. They were average. Once I attempted to have a coke under the umbrella at Playa Hollywood. The tout / waiter said it was an additional 20 K or 30 K for the rental of the umbrella. Is that normal / correct? Did they try to scam me? When I walked back thru the other beaches, one of the waitresses said the umbrella was free when she tried to get me to order drinks.

It is off season in Cartagena right now. Between January and April there are more people there and thus more working girls.
A couple of months ago, I had asked the question "Is the new Hyatt guest friendly" and received a general reply. I was wondering, since the hotel is still fairly new, if anyone has tried to bring a chica in there. Thanks for any replies.

Can anyone articulate what Colombian law is regarding MJ / coke possession and use. What is or is not legal?

[QUOTE=ElMechanico;2061714]Go to Panama once & find out first hand. Go to the Panama Canal one day, do the Red Bus tour of the city for a day or 2, go to the seafood market & eat lunch at one of the outdoor restaurants there, stay near Cafe Habanos (which is close to the Veneto) & do your mongering. It is easy to set up day time action with one of the girls you meet at the Veneto of Habanos.
You are correct that PTY is a bit more expensive than CTG as far as girls go & practically no beach activity at all in PTY.
Since you have been to CTG, you can compare the 2 & decide for yourself. At minimum you will have seen the Canal which is quite impressive.
El Mechanico.[/QUOTE]Guys- I would love to travel to Cartagena and see first hand the abundance of beautiful Colombian women. However Panama allows me to do nearly the same in a safe, controlled, US Dollar, heavy Colombian & Venezuelan Chica environment. First class airport, hotels, casinos and fairly good restaurants. As far as nothing to do, Panama has plenty of opportunities. Fishing, golf, canopy & Jungle tours. Excursions to outer Islands via Trump (Sun Casino) Departure Area. You can get adventurous and travel safe to any city in Panama for about $10 from the Allbrook National Transportation Center. There is plenty to do. Don't believe the hype. It is more than just the Canal.
And of course world class Habanos! Its one stop shop. No need to go anywhere else. Pull in around 9:30 pm and enjoy the unbelievable show. Every night 50-70 beauties from all over Central and South America strut their stuff. You will find your dream girls there for sure. My last trip 2 weeks ago, I met 3 solid tens (Peru, Cali& Caracas) and 1 eight from Santa Marta who I negotiated with to be my translator and join in on threesomes. You may find cheaper areas but for safety, reliability, dollars and Habanos it's a no brainer.
[QUOTE=Trifecta68;2067045]However Panama allows me to do nearly the same in a [i]safe, controlled, US Dollar, [/i][/QUOTE]See? Each person has a different view.
I read all that as *boring* and *expensive* LOL. That's the reason why I prefer Colombia and, after 3 boring visits to Panama for some work reason, I swore "I hope never again here".
All that means a place filled by gringoes in shorts, proud to spend their dollars feeling like at home, with girls speaking English (= long mileage) and with strong negotiation skills.
I will be in Santa Marta and Taganga kite boarding and sup tours this fall. ID love to get in touch with your Santa Marta friend. Whatsapp?
Thanks!

So. I sent the hotel a simple straightforward question. It took a few days but I did get a response.
"Thank you for consider Hyatt Regency Cartagena, as an option for your upcoming stay in our city!
According to your request, I would like to inform you that there is an additional fee of $80 USD + Taxes (approximately $236,000 COP + taxes) per person added if they are not present at the time of check in and will be transient guests at the hotel, in addition to it, for security purposes everyone has to be registered in our system, they must show a valid Colombian ID, or a Passport if they are foreigners at the front desk. The allowed times for receiving transient guests in the rooms are from 10:00 PM until 06:00 AM.
If there is anything else that we can do for you, do not hesitate to contact us, and we will more than glad to assist you. ".

I have a former girl I used to bang living here and thinking of coming a couple days early and check out the scene. Never mongered in Colombia, but met the ex via CC. Hotels GF? Recommended spots?

Drug use is prohibited, but it has been decriminalized.
Legal medical marijuana industry is growing in Colombia.
So the question remains, what will happen if the cops see you smoking a joint. I've seen young locals smoke openly in the park, with cops nearby. But we are tourist, so we can be treated differently, but I have no experience / first hand knowledge of this question.
What happens if a cop catches you with coke in your pocket? I have no idea. I've seen cops randomly search young locals in the city. Not sure if they are searching for weapons and / or drugs. I haven't been stopped and searched by cops yet. My guess is either because I look like a tourist or just luck of the draw.

I have been stopped rudely more than once in Colombia by police. I recall one time I was asked numerous times if I had drugs while I was searched. When they found nothing the cop began to declare that my phone was not mine but in fact stolen. That's when I demonstrated the fingerprint scanner on the phone and the cop started looking foolish in front of his partner.
A law could pass tomorrow decriminalising all drugs in Colombia and shakedowns will still happen.
I have been traveling to Colombia four to five times a year for the last couple of years. You still think it's "urban legend" then head down and smoke some mj in front of police.

If I do it's usually a smile or a nod.
However, I recognize that each of us is subject to different treatment from the police. I might be able to smoke a joint while standing next to the police and they may say nothing. Another person may just walk by and get searched and harassed for nothing. This is true in every country. Whether or not you are breaking the law is not part of the process.

.[/QUOTE]How many times has been repeated that NO UPSCALE or just decent hotel in most Colombia cities will ever allow people to take girls to the rooms?
They do anything possible to discourage it, if not formally forbid it.
Still people asking. Forget it.
Charleston is a very upscale hotel where there is no issue bringing girls.
Thank you very much for the information. Had I been thinking, I would have known to Google it myself. I guess it wasn't very smart of me.
It's nearly impossible in this hobby to completely avoid the drug culture, even if you are not a user. Drug use is so prevalent among the chicas, eventually you will be exposed. While knowing the law isn't going to do you a damn bit of good with a cop determined to be a prick, it is at least smart to know what you are exposing yourself to. The more accurate information you have, allows you to make smarter decisions. Thanks again for the information.

Sorry, just posted this without any context or translation.
Seems like they are proposing a law to fine those who solicit prostitutes. Not a law yet, just proposed by Congress. Not sure how long these things take to get considered or probability of this passing, but saw it on my feed and thought I would share.

The Colombian society duly sees the sexual workers as vulnerable and tries to protect them in their line of work.
The following link from the same source tells that 'not paying for services rendered is considered to be discriminatory'.

I'm coming into Cartegena the 28th and staying until Sept 2nd or 3rd. Looking for a wingman who's going to be in town and wants to check out the scene. PM me if interested.
Just arrived in Cartagena today after my so-so time in Bogota. Bogota wasn't bad -- just not my kind of place.
Getting into the apartment was a disaster. The previous guests wouldn't leave for some reason so the rental company after a lot of delays gave me another apartment. Typical Cartagena delays and just sloppy management.
I met up with my Venezuelana who hasn't worked for a few weeks because of some migraines. We ate ham and cheese sandwiches, watched episodes of Narcos and fucked a few times before I sent her on her way. Guests can stay until 4 am but I am tired and don't want to stay up that late. I have her every night after 5 pm for 400 k a night. It'll do for a few days. Things won't pick up in Centro until Thursday and I plan on fucking other women I get from my tout during the day.
Evidently 250 k is more the standard now for short time. 200 k at minimum. According to the Venezeulana the busiest months are December to April ending with semana santa. That's when lots of hookers show up for in season. These days things aren't as busy.
I am continually surprised by just how integrated prostitution is in Colombia. I mean integrated into the fabric of society here.
Went to La Dulce Vida yesterday. Chicas trickle in at 11:30 and it was packed by 12:30. I have a lot of winnings from Blackjack so I said fuck it and gave a hot chica 500 k for TLN. We got drunk. Fucked bareback and watched Narcos while we cuddled until we fell asleep at 5 am. Registered here in my building and she is staying with me until Monday when I leave. Very GFE.
The Venezeulanas are out in force in the Clocktower plaza but it's hot as balls there. Tons of chicas all sizes. Anywhere from 150 k to 300 k. One woman looked so desperate and out of place I gave her 20 k and wished her good luck in the fucking to come.
Full report later. I am sitting on a mad stack of 12 million pesos. Going to hit the BJ table again today and fuck this chica like it ain't no thang.

Please your suggestions where to stay in either Airbnb as I want to explore the clock tower girls and the clubs.
Thanks in advance.

God bless Venezuela. And you'll find her with her two cousins who are 20 and 22.

I arrived in Cartagena, otherwise known as "Yippie's Playhouse", Monday Sept 4th and stayed until the 11th.
Old city venues (centro):
Isis (calle 36, carrera 5): Strip club opens around 10 pm; sometimes it opens earlier. Lots of pretty girls sitting around and sometimes there's some dancing. They look for the equivalent of 100 USD. I didn't pull so I'm not sure what they are charging exactly now (it used to be 280 k back in May). This is the kind of place any punter can walk in and pull a girl to take to a nearby love motel. You pay the motel separately (about 20 k).
Space (calle 35, carrera 5): After hours club. This is where hookers go after 2 or 3 am.
La Dulce Vida (calle 35, carrera 5): Right next to space. Hookers start showing up at 11:00 PM and it gets busy by midnight. Prices anywhere from 200 k to 400 k. They tend to want to go to a nearby love motel so they can do an hour and hit the street again. Upside of this place as opposed to the Clocktower Plaza is that it has air conditioning, hahaha.
Clocktower Plaza: entrance to the old city from Bocagrande. Hookers start trickling in at 10 pm. Hot as balls.
Experienced Cartagena hookers won't show up until midnightish. They'll hit the numerous clubs so you can and should explore. Lots of touts will try to pull you into these clubs promising chicas. The old city is very safe as long as you don't leave the walls.
Playa Hollywood is the last beach in Bocagrande facing west. Hit up Edgar if you speak Spanish or Jason if you only speak English. Jason is more of a go big or go home kind of guy and will push renting cruiser with chicas and stuff. Be firm always get the price of everything before ordering and keep a mental note of your tab.
I managed in making a crap ton of money at Nao Casino's BJ table. I took my winnings and rented a cruiser for 1,500,000 pesos. It had a seating area up front and in the back. I brought a chica and her two friends with me along with tons of booze. We went to Gruta Azul which is a nice quiet beach area with very few vendors and even less people. We rented jet skis and passed an hour just chilling. Then we went to Cholon which is an outdoor party taking place between a bunch of islands. This place is supposed to have crazy naked chicas and stuff but I didn't see any. The water goes from shoulder deep to waist deep and you typically disembark into the water to one of the water hut roof things. We ordered food and some cocktails. The tab came up to a wooping 1,800,000 pesos. I think I was the only punter who was there solo with three chicas rubbing my back and shit. Fucking James Fucking Bond. I didn't see any clear areas to fuck in so I got a jet ski and took a chica to a beach nearby where I banged her. For some reason I kept thinking of that scene from Planet of the Apes with lady liberty on the beach, hahaha.
As I mentioned in a previous post you'll meet a crap load of Venezuelanas trying to earn cash. In fact practically all the hookers I banged were from there except one who was Colombian.

TTM.
Arrived in Cartagena from Santa Marta around 6 pm. Stayed in the walled city in an Airbnb. Waited until around 11:30 pm to check the scene. Nothing really new to report that others haven't reported below just giving my two cents.
La Dolce Vita. At around 12, there were about 6 girls in there. Doable but not 200 k-500 k hot. It was pretty empty inside. Granted, I went on a Monday.
Clocktower. Stayed from about 1230-130 am. About 30-40 girls available. In my opinion, there were alot of 5-6's hanging around with a lot of dudes I called mouthpieces because they never shut up walking around being annoying as hell. This one guy got mad at me for ignoring him and pull a switch blade on me LOL. I told him "No te lastimes" don't hurt yourself and he cussed me out in Spanish and went away. I seen him fifteen minutes later and he said sorry my friend. Craziness. Most girls were asking 150 k-200 k for one hour. My friend went with a morena 25 year old who spoke good English from Barranquilla for 350 for the entire night. I honestly didn't see enough ass for me. This is the second time I have been here and the first time was a little bit better than this time. I visited Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Cartagena, Barranquilla and Santa Marta and Cartagena is my least favorite for sure. Humid ass hell, beaches are not that beautiful in my opinion, it's freaking packed with people and tourist, the walled city always smells like steamy horse mierda LOL and I'm always sweating. Now this is just one guys limited experience but I would put all those other cities above this one for sure.

One should not go to CTG with a pure sex-tourist mind, having pussy as unique goal of the week. The historic center of CTG is a lovely place. The colors are wonderful. San Diego and Getsemani are a paradise for photography. Some restaurants in Centro a delight (forget easy food in Bocagrande and spend few bucks more to appreciate some more classy places as Santisimo, Cuzco, Quebracho, and many others).
Enjoy all that. Then, at night, spend a couple of hours to select the right girl for you, and finally enjoy what we all look for! Hard to live with fond memories, once at home...
The problem of CTG is that it is one of the most expensive places in Colombia.
Duly noted. I did the tourist thing previously. Since this a mongering site, I gave that opinion instead of all the travel and other gossip other sites like TripAdvisor are equipped for.

One should not go to CTG with a pure sex-tourist mind, having pussy as unique goal of the week. The historic center of CTG is a lovely place. The colors are wonderful. San Diego and Getsemani are a paradise for photography. Some restaurants in Centro a delight (forget easy food in Bocagrande and spend few bucks more to appreciate some more classy places as Santisimo, Cuzco, Quebracho, and many others).
Enjoy all that. Then, at night, spend a couple of hours to select the right girl for you, and finally enjoy what we all look for! Hard to live with fond memories, once at home...
The problem of CTG is that it is one of the most expensive places in Colombia.[/QUOTE]
He pulled a switch blade right out his pocket no lie LOL. I don't think he was going to use it, just wanted to intimidate me because I think I was bigger than him. But nothing I haven't experienced in my life. And I didn't expect it to be lively. I have visited previously and would have avoided it if not for the cheap flight I was supposed to be on right now. But fortunate shines on the lowly sometime and I'm comfortably in Bogota and ready to be back on the prowl. Great report by the way. Sounds like you had an amazing time!
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2083553]I wouldn't expect much from LDV on a Monday.
Just smile at the touts and tell them you don't need help. Most try to get you to go to Isis.
Did he really pull a knife on you? I'm very surprised. Cops would have arrested him on the spot. The touts are an annoyance. I feel sorry for some of them though and if they really insist I'll let them "lead" me to Isis even though I know where it is.[/QUOTE]
Just got back from my first trip out to Cartagena and wanted to get this in when things are relatively fresh in my mind.
First a huge thanks to YippieK for all the reports and PMs. Very useful and helped me a lot in getting this trip going!.
Accommodations.
I went with 3 of my friends and we wanted to get a house where we would have no issues bringing in chicas. We also wanted to have our own bedrooms and such. Slightly challenging to locate when you are that far out -but most of the airbnb properties in Gestamani and El Laguito areas are chica friendly (some with fee restrictions / entry time restrictions). We found a casa that was very close to Hilton Cartagena that satisfied our requirements!. The place is a fabulous place (on the very expensive side that had a pool, jacuzzi (literally on the beach) and we did oay for 8 guests -not 4 even though I think we could have gotten away with just 4). No issues bringing in chicas there ever during our stay.
Getting in and out.
I am so used to getting someone that drives, talks English and can take me to right places. Just couldn't find one that was a match at least remotely. So worked with Jason (mentioned in this group before) for getting us out of airport (we used him for other things as well -but let me get to that later). We all felt it was wasted money as a few of my friends were coming from Baranquilla and they got charged like 200 USD for a 2 hour rickety taxi ride. While going back they took Uber and it cost them 80 USD. None of us spoke a lick of spanish but with Google translate and sign language we managed!. I strongly recommend UBER for moving around to and from walled city or elsewhere. I took Uber going back and forth from my place and it was hassle free and they even try to talk English. The one that dropped me to airport turned out to be a professor of Finance in a local Univ! Taxi price around 4 km region seems to be anywhere between 7000 COP to 10000 COP.
Tours.
We took the Cholon trip along with Playa Blanca (Jason pushed it pretty hard. Go big or go Home type of guy). We rented a 3 bed Yacht for 2. 4 k (Yes that much!! And we probably did overpay by at least 4/5 k.). Came with captain and some help and we loaded the boat with Chicas and booze. We went there on a Sunday and there was music blasting from every boat -small or big with chicas of all varieties dancing mostly on the boat. Food as written earlier by Yippie is very expensive and you got to somewhat pay attention to expenses. I clearly told Jason that I don't want overspending with Chicas and he really made sure that there was reasonable control. This was one place that Jason was super useful (you need a native tounge to protect you from touts etc). I am sure he made quite a bit from us -but we were OK about that. Cholon in my mind is like a place where it is a competition of "who has the biggest dick? With our huge yacht and chicas dancing to some loud ass music. We basically got rid of everyone that were partying to close by to use and everyone started paying attention to us! Nice!
Playa blanca has a decent beach (pales in comparison to even DR beaches let along beaches in Jamaica, Bahamas, Cancun etc) but that is all there is to it. Got some massage done which was like 10 dollars per person (chicas wanted to do that as well -so the stop turned to be a 100 dollar event! Anyways, we had a great time!.
We did our tour of walled city -but frankly we really didn't care about history and it was too hot to even care about it.
Chicas!
OK getting to the poontang aspect of the trip. Since it was our first trip and most of my friends are not into hunting late evenings and nights -we pretty much sourced it in. And the person we used exclusively for this was Jason. He was getting us a 200 dollar rate for around 7-8 hours).
Day 1- Chicas were OK. I would say 2 7's and rest 5's. Our collective desire to get natural tits did us in to a point. The ones that looked a 7 had A's and the 5's probably had a see. I personally selected 2 chicas from Venezuela for my James Bond moment (thanks for planting that thought in my head Yippie! These were the 5's with the boobs. My intent was 3-some on day 1-but for me 3-somes with non-native English speakers is a pain in the butt as they tend to talk to each other (happened in Devils Den Thailand and now here). While I was doing one the other would be sitting on the phone etc. It was a mood killer for me. Still managed to do ok on Day 1. Overall the Chicas had great attitude. All of them jumped in pool and Jacuzzi and 420 ed quite decently. Lots of dancing near pool with booze flowing!. Felt like a king on Day 1! You may some photos of chicas at sunset in a Jacuzzi -that's the airbnb property!. One portable boombox did go missing (we found this in Day 3). We think one of the chicas conveniently pocketed it. We had to pay to the house owner for replacement.
Day 2 - This was the boat trip day!. Decided to take the same chicas as they were very party oriented. Again the same price for each of them (I negotiated my twosome down to 300 for pretty much entire day). Lots of booze, food and fun! On this day, I only took one at a time and I had better luck with getting to do the chicas more than when I was on Day 1.
Day 3: We took a break! And just chilled-no Chica day!
Day 4: Jason supplied again. We felt 2 out of 4 was pretty bad. Far removed from photos. The girl I had was Ruby (Jason highly recommended) natural boobs -some English and pretty decent in bed. She really worked based on what you wanted. Not bad. Late evening we went to Clocktower for the first time later than 11 pm and boy the talent there was not bad!. Quite a few stunners and I think!. Mental note to self -next time all I need to do is go hang around in clock tower one late evening and once you collect enough whatspp numbers -then you can easily source for the rest of the trip!.
Closing thoughts.
Decent place to visit once I think. Yes there were chicas -but I felt like Panama is better as I felt like it was easy to communicate there.
I may add more -but right now this has to do!
I guess I don't have the same preferences as some here. I arrived last week and to be honest the quality is subpar compared to most places I been. Money normally is not an issue for me so I think going to Brazil first ruined the thrill of CTG. I checked out ISIS, Pleyclub and dolce vita each night and thief were only two tens in all places combined. The clock tower had 6's and 7's that was not touching. I honestly waited until I was in Miami before sampling anything because the quality is so much higher at tootsies. I will try Medellin later this year and I hope it's much better. I rank Brazil far higher and Curaçao a small notch higher than CTG for my type which is slim thick with a phat booty. I choose CTG because I expected a Caribbean type look to the females with the curvy bodies to match. Unfortunately I encountered a lot of plastic booty and small hips. If you've been to Brazil and like chocolate, be prepared to be let down in Cartagena.

[/QUOTE]Sounds like you had a good time! Glad to hear Jason worked out. He's a complete pig hahaha.
200 USD for a ride from Barranquilla is too much. There are shuttles that go back and forth that are much cheaper, or the local bus routes. When I go visit some friends in Barranquilla I rent an SUV with a driver for 300 k for the entire day, and that's a rip off price too. I'm pretty sure I can get him for less.
Taxis are CHEAP in Cartagena. I think Uber is a bit cheaper.

Fellow Mongers its my first time to Columbia and I figure Cartagena has good night and day time activities. I've seen restaurant reviews, places to look for talent. What is still unclear to me is which places other than Juans, palmetto, and Torre Centauro is visitor friendly. Palmetto looks to be really nice but it seems to have problems bases on reviews. I looked up Juan's and they are far from the action. Torre Centauro looks run down based on the pics. I am probably being a little Goldilocks but any help is appreciated. In return I'll put some honest reviews thereafter. Can someone help a newbie out and provide some good places? Or PM a contact?

You need to ask about their visitor policy before renting. Then you need to make sure they confirm; unfortunately, some owners of the apartments assume visitors are fine and don't check. If its your first time I recommend getting a hotel room for the first two nights and then spend a little time during the day visiting the buildings you are interested in and asking. Most of the action in centro involve short time hotels so you can still do your thing while you're figuring out the landscape. There was even one short time hotel that offered me the executive suite for 10 k more hahaha.
My only other advice is to rent in newer buildings. Cartagena being tropical has a roach problem and some of the older buildings are infested.
[QUOTE=PastorBurrito;2086622]I looked up Juan's and they are far from the action. [/QUOTE]Are you talking about Juan's apartments? They are now far from the action whatsoever. Taxis are dirt cheap.

I had no problem with it other than not getting the maid service for fresh towels (you have now been fair warned! The a / see was to cold at night, the water was always hot, kitchen, fridge & coffee pot. TV reception wasn't was horrible but I didn't go to the CTG to watch TV! 100% chica friendly & every chica had her cedula checked!! Taxis are a non issue as they are as cheap in CTG as anywhere else I have ever been!
2 thumbs up for Torre Centauro.

However Colombia is way cheaper and closer to where I live here in Florida. Quarto quarto in Rio, is heaven on earth.

I'm pretty sure you can get some of them for less than 100 k if you tried. Although many of them aren't doing too well. The ones who are (typically found in LDV and Space later) are all hooked into the party scene. They expect bigger spenders, and much to my dismay they want to party all night and snort coke. Something I'm not into.
For cheap prices don't go during in season (December to mid April -- up to semana santa). Off season there are less tourists and the hookers aren't as busy so they won't try to price gouge you. I remember back in January the chicas were asking for ridiculous prices.
As per my report I had a stack of 12 million pesos from a freak gambling session at the Nao Casino. I literally started with 200 k and before I knew it I was dropping the max of 500 k at the table and almost never losing a hand. With my winnings I just went nuts and pulled the most beautiful chicas I wanted at 500 k for TLN. Its funny because they would ask for 400 k for TLN and I'd say na I'll give you 500 k. I remember the first time I did that the chica gave me a suspicious look like I was going to stiff her. Truth be told a lot of the chicas confided in me that the local Colombians have a tendency to stiff the Venezuelanas.
For me the big draw of Cartagena is the hot weather and the beaches (especially off to the islands). It is still dirt cheap to get a decent apartment in Bocagrande and that area is quiet at night so I can sleep easily.
Never been to Rio but I dipped my cock in Sao Paolo and the garotas were great. But too much of a flight and Brazil ain't cheap.

I always thought the casino's abroad were rip off. I used to play blackjack at the Delrey Casino in San Jose Costa Rica and never won a dime.
My last trip to Cartagena I booked an apartment in Boca grande thru a very nice woman named Mery.
The apartment was beautiful and steps away from all the action. Cartagena is always too damn hot! LOL! I live in Florida so I'm used to heat but for some reason or another it could be midnight in Cartagena and I'm out and about and I'm still sweating. LOL.
I must say there was a annoying tout on the beach named Tony. Just plain annoying, however that dude hooked me up with some of the finest chicks in Colombia. Beautiful, young white blonde spinner's. I didn't like the pleyboy club. Completely overrated and the chica prices were ridiculous. What is you're opinion of Bogota or Barranquilla?

Hi buds,
I've read the forums, but I haven been able to find a chica friendly place near the action. If anyone could PM me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Never mongered in Barranquilla but Bogota was too cold for me, and too much tipping to get shit like BBBJ. I posted a couple of reports including one about the mezzanine ladies in Bogota which really is quiet a weird experience but worth a go for a laugh.
Hey guys,
I'm new to the international forum. I've been to Cartagena 3 times this year and I'm going again in November. This year was my first time going to Colombia ever. I thought I would share my experiences. First and foremost, Cartagena is amazing. The food, the culture, the women. I decided to go. I think I should mention that I am Spanish 22-26 years old and I am fluent in Spanish and that was my biggest advantage. Also, I signed up for the Colombian Cupid Dating site. I prayed 30 $ for a month subscription. I met up with a few girls throughout my 3 trips that just were simply down to go out, drink, party and have fun without paying for a service. I would recommend Colombian Cupid 100%.
My first trip.
I fly into Bogota, quick flight to Cartagena. I stay at the Hilton Hotel in Laguito. I got an ocean view room and it was awesome. I liked everything about the hotel. The entire place is like a little resort. I wouldn't give it a 5 star but def. 4-5 stars. It was pricey in my mind I paid around 160-180 a night. My first night I went out and met up with two twins from the CC site. We went to Tu Candela, got a bottle and partied for a couple of hours. By the end of night, I had hooked up with both of the twins and I dropped them off at their house in el Bosque. I have been able to pick up a Colombian accent and I believe I can pass as a local or a Colombian tourist. This is key to everything I did in Colombia. Cartagena is a huge tourist destination and everyone from the cops, the girls, the drivers, and the dealers are trying to scam you or overcharge you in some way. It was around 4 am and as soon as the twins got out of the car I told the driver that I wanted to get a girl. He seemed cool and we built a relationship and he said Pleyclub wasn't far. So we headed to Pleyclub and he escorted me inside.
The place was packed for a Friday night at 5 am. A gorgeous short blonde with green eyes and a perfect bubble butt starts talking to me. She was from Pereira. I quickly decided that she was easily a 9 and its probably best to choose her and go to the back. The place was packed with locals. I don't remember how much I paid for the short stay in the rooms they have in the back but it was something like 150-250 k. She was around 19-20 and was flirting with me in Spanish the whole time. DFK and we went at it for a solid 30 minutes. She was young like me so it was perfect. I remember she kept asking me to take her out the club but the fee was upwards of 600 k I think. Left with the driver and headed back towards Laguito. Mission accomplished and I went to bed.
The next night I went to Angeles Club also in el Bosque. It had to have been around 7 pm when the same driver from the night before picked me up and drove me to the club. At this point the driver and I were cool and he said he could drive me around, take me anywhere and get me anything I wanted. Let's call him Raffy. He hooked me up with 420 and escorted me into the club again. There were 2 guys in the main area drinking a beer and they took me to the back. The girls were in between eating and they called them about 30 of them stood around the room in a circle and I was told to choose one. LOL, I was pretty embarrassed and they were all whispering that I was cute. I chose a busty beautiful girl with dark black hair and olive skin.
Thick in all the right places. I paid 200-250 k I think and she quickly showered and got into bed. She said I had the hour and was very flirty with me. She was my age. We kissed in bed naked and she started a BBBJ. Did every position and fucked for over 30 minutes. Cleaned up I was on my way. Overall good experience and another club that I was able to check off my list. I Head back to the Hilton and get ready for the night.
I step out and hit Mister Babilla with my uncle who was traveling with me. We decide to go to the Torre De Reloj and we picked out two beautiful girls. I approached them talked to them in Spanish and they were down to drink at Tu Candela. I was carrying with me a new bottle of Hennesy and I paid 100 k fee to get it into the bar / club. My girl asked me in Spanish If I knew how this worked as we were walking in and I told her yes, I would take care of her. We partied for hours and it was time to leave. They had a bowl so we discreetly 420 while waiting for Raffy my driver. They were feeling good and she insisted 200 Usd. I said 150 she said no 200 or she was leaving. She was one of the prettiest girls I had seen with a perfect petite body and beautiful face so I didn't care and agreed. I know 200 was a lot but I honestly didn't care at the moment and I wanted to go back to room at the Hilton. So, us 4 head towards the 24-hour Citibank the walled city (which is the only ATM that I've ever used in Cartagena and for me it was by far the most convenient and practical place to grab cash if you're a Citibank-er). 420 on the way with the windows down. Cops everywhere. We get to the ATM.
I run into the Citibank grab over 1 million in COP. As I walk out there are 4 cops surrounding Raffy, my uncle, and the two girls are outside the cab. I immediately realized I couldn't walk over there because of how much cash I had on me. I knew they were going to try to extort me. I quickly lit up a cigarette and leaned up on the wall of the Citibank. One cop waves me over and I brush him off and looked the other way. He let rock and I watched them as my uncle talked to them. They finally left and I called my uncle over. He said everything was fine except said that the girls were with a well-known thieves and we should be careful. I decide to drop them off at LDV and Raffy, my uncle and I headed towards Pleyclub.
Escorted in, it was pretty empty for a sat night but all the girls had left the club with dates. Chose two and paid 600 k each for the take out and rest of the morning with you. My girl was medium height, fat ass, big natural tits, brown hair, tan skin. She was from Antioquia and 24. It was around 4-5 am at that point and we headed back to the Hilton with the girls. I registered her into the Hilton with her ID FOR 60 USD and we went upstairs.
Undressed, and we went at it kissing in bed. DFK and full GFE. BBJ and FS with cover. Went into shower BBFS. Went back into bed BBFS. Woke up. BBFS. And I walked her out hotel.
Later that Sunday Night I took one of the twins out partied at Eivissa. Lots of European Tourists at this lounge and it was fun. Hooked up back at the Hilton. Same deal registered with ID with no problem for 60 USD.
Overall my first trip was a success. Partied every night, explored the city, ate great food, saw a lot of beautiful women. Almost 3000 COP for 1 USD goes a long way in Colombia. Raffy was great driving me around and I had found someone reliable to drive me around and get me what I wanted.
My second trip.
Weeks after my first trip I was headed back to Cartagena. Raffy my driver from my first trip picks me up from the airport. He drives me to the Citibank ATM, convenience store, liquor store and to pick up one of the twins from my first trip that I met on CC site. We drive to Playa Blanca. He charges me 250 k for picking me up, driving around, picking up the girl and the 45 minutes -1-hour drive to the islands.
I pay 25 USD on Playa Blanca at a hostel / restaurant on the beach. It was called it Chocolate Marino Bar Restaurant. It was basic room but it was all wooden and colorful. It was literally on the beach feet away from the water. Very Similar to cabin on the beach that Leonardo DiCaprio stayed on in the movie The Beach with those other surfer tourist bros. No running water, and electricity after 6 pm-morning. The chicken and fish were great and pretty fresh. Rolled and smoked Cohibas filled with 420. We ended up going to eat and party at the one / two hostels / bars on the beach that stay open with lights on at night and music. We brought a bottle of Hennesy with us and finished it at the bar. It was now after midnight and very very dark because all lights were off on the beach. We walked back hooked up on the way back and ended up going into the warm water and fucked in the water and on the sand. Probably the best sex I've ever had in my life. BBFS with twin off Colombian Cupid site that I wasn't paying for. Went back to room fucked for another hour. I was off the Henny and it was a great night.
Raffy picks us the next day at the hostel and brings us back to Cartagena. I check into El Nuevo conquistador for like $40 USD. Pretty decent room. Couple cockroaches, newish utilities. Strict no chica policy. I wouldn't recommend overall. I Take out the other twin that didn't go to playa blanca for drinks and partying. I figured Tu Candela is easy and I liked it so we went there partied and left. We went back to the apartment where she had been registered from the beginning and hooked up no sex. Took her home. Hit a casino on the way back from dropping her off in El Bosque. No action anywhere. I wanted some so for last resort in hop into a taxi and head to la Torre De Reloj. I See two young girls around 18-20 years old right outside the wall and asked if they were working. They said yes. Hesitated a little bit and said only both would go, 100 k cop each, I thought perfect. They said Yes and we got into a cab and headed to el Nuevo conquistador. I walked in with the two girls and got denied at the desk. Upset we headed to a one hour spot. Paid 50 k I think for room and got CFS from both. They were both Venezuelan with petite bodies. One girl had a perfect soft bubble butt with fake tits that felt great. Other girl had nice tits with a nice ass too. Threesome lots of kissing with rushed service. Doggy, cowgirl. They were the only girls that didn't kiss. I didn't mind at that point it was like 6 am and I too wanted to get home. Took a cab to conquistador.
Next day I take the twins out at night at VIP next to Tu Candela and partied till late. All 3 went back to conquistador with no problem. They were registered from the beginning. Fucked a twin BBFS with an amazing BBJ. Cowgirl, Riding, Doggy, Missionary.
Flew home the next day. Overall great second trip. Left with a desire of more girls LOL.
My third trip.
I book my flight weeks after my second trip. LOL at this point I'm in love with the country and girls. I fly into Carta. Same routine. Raffy picks me up. This time with snow and 420. Drives me to get my cash, henny, food, and twin. We then head to Playa Blanca again with one of the twins. The one I had sex with last time. I decide to stay at the same hostel called Chocolate Marino right on the beach. I Love this beach. Stay for two nights this time. The second night the twin I hadn't had sex with gets driven out to the islands where me and the other twin were and I have CFS with her. The next day Raffy picks us up and drives all 3 of us back to carta. I booked through airbnb this time and I booked a place at Morros City.
Morros City. $100 a night through air bnb I thought not bad. Not as high as the $160-180 a night I paid at the Hilton In Laguito, and not as cheap as the 40 $ a night at the Nuevo conquistador. Best Decision I ever made. This place is super nice. Supposedly it's the latest luxury apartments built in Boca Grande Cartagena but I could be wrong. The apartment was amazing. The newest modest utilities, sick balcony that extended from the living room to the master bedroom. Furnished with all modern art. The place is impeccable. The pool is sick. You guys should google the place. Just like everything in Cartagena YMMV. I do believe I have a big advantage because I can pull off a nice Colombian accent and I'm Spanish and fluent in Spanish already. This place is nice and you can tell it's for the wealthy. I took care of my desk guys and I never had an issue with bringing girls back after hours. Cash is king. I'm also afraid to let people know I'm American so I try to pass as a Colombian tourist or local. When that doesn't work sometimes I say I come from a Spanish country. If anyone knows you're American it's like a huge target that appears on your head. Anyways I partied hard that night hitting, LDV, ISIS, Hard Rock, and ended up walking through Centro after. A lot of girls out. Ended up talking to this chick with a slim waist and a fat nice butt. Tan Skin and beautiful like always. She was 23. From Antioquia, I think. Brought her back to Morros City for 100 k.
Got in the room and went at it. Started kissing all over the place. Ended up Fucking BBFS. She had an amazing ass that clapped. Amazing riding back and forth. Nice be tits. Came inside of her. Passed out. Woke up Fucked again. She was pretty cool. Left and I relaxed all day and hit Centro. Go out at night with a girl from Isis club. From Medellin. Ended up hanging in Centro and drinking at LDV. Snow all night. When in Rome right? Went back to Morros City. Fucked this girl crazy for about an hour and then sent her home. CFS. Everything for about 200 k.
Hit up Hollywood Beach the next day. A lot of vendors and people trying to get girls for you. Met a couple of girls but didn't take any. Ended up fucking the twin again.
Over all I really enjoyed Morros city and I plan on staying there again in November and negotiated 80 the night on the top floors so I'm pretty excited.
[QUOTE=JohnDoe93;2089243]My third trip.
I book my flight weeks after my second trip. LOL at this point I'm in love with the country and girls. I fly into Carta. Same routine. Raffy picks me up. This time with snow and 420. Drives me to get my cash, henny, food, and twin. We then head to Playa Blanca again with one of the twins. The one I had sex with last time. I decide to stay at the same hostel called Chocolate Marino right on the beach. I Love this beach. Stay for two nights this time. The second night the twin I hadn't had sex with gets driven out to the islands where me and the other twin were and I have CFS with her. The next day Raffy picks us up and drives all 3 of us back to carta. I booked through airbnb this time and I booked a place at Morros City.

Very hot and humid which I didn't like, however, the beautiful women there are a beautiful thing to see! Pleyboy club in my opinion is a complete rip off! Girl take out prices are ridiculous. LDV had most beautiful women. I negotiate everything and never paid more than 150 COP. The food was excellent and cheap. I plan on re tuning to Cartagena soon. I'm in love with Medellin now and travel there extensively. I will definitely return to Cartagena.

The best of the best, in my personal perspective, if finding a girl around midnight at Reloy then spending 2-3-4 hours partying hard in clubs like Eivissa and Space, before heading back to room. Morros has a disco that is open till first light, but it's well known to be a den of drugs. Never been there.
[QUOTE=JohnDoe93;2089234]He said everything was fine except said that the girls were with a well-known thieves and we should be careful.[/QUOTE]I am sure, if they requested you to pay 200 USD! Sharks noticed the innocent fish and attacked. I think you should never accept to pay a girl at Reloy more than 300 k (100 USD) for ST under any circumstance, unless you accept to be out of the market to impress the girl. Best of all, agree on 200 k then add more for more time or special experiences. Some girls will be available for 100 k-150 k, some others will be adamantine in requesting 300 k.
You had a wonderful trip and really enjoyed, but my impression is that over your days you overpaid so much everyone, to spoil the market for others. How would you feel if you see some oligarch from Moskow who comes to Madrid (you said you're Spanish) then offers 1000 euros to local girls met in bar de tapas to have fun at his hotel? Giving the explanation that "this is the price for girls in my night clubs of Moskow" Ok, everyone is free to use money as he prefers, but local market should be also considered.

Never tried the boat tickets. If you are three people the cab drive is actually pretty economical as it comes close to what you would pay for the bus.
You are correct. Chicas expect anywhere from 150 k to 300 k for short time. When a chica says 200 USD they are throwing a crazy number out to see if you will bite.

Picked up the girl and then drove an hour to Playa Blanca / Baru. Also he carried my suitcase to the hostel on the beach which was a 10 minute walk from the car once we got there. Then he picked me up the next day drove an hour to El Bosque neighborhood to drop the girl off and then 30 min ride back to Bocagrande.
All for 250 k.
My third trip. He did the same thing except I stayed for 2 nights and the second day while I was already on the beach he picked up the other twin in El Bosque and drove her an hour to Playa Blanca to drop her off so she can meet up with me and the other twin. Drove back from Playa Blanca and then drove back the next day to pick us all up.
ALL for 250 k. I didn't over pay at all. And the guy always had green or anything else I wanted when he picked me up and never charged for that. Hes the man. Too bad he changed his what's app and I can't contact him anymore.
And I agree 100%. She threw out a crazy number at me and after drinking and dancing with her all night I didn't care to pay her premium. She was 24/25 from medellin. I would honestly rate this girl a 9-10 and I was showing off a little which is never smart.
In regards to Morros City I'm talking about the new luxary condominiums not Morros the neighborhood in Cartagena. Type in Morros City Cartagena and look at the images. Youtube has some cool videos of the property too. I used AirBnb and you can also type in morros city cartagena and all Apartments that are in Morros city will pop up. Theres a good amount on airBNB. I'll be staying in Morros City Again in November. Like I mentioned earlier I contacted the lady that handled the apartment through AirBNB at Morros City when I was there and she said she no longer worked with the agency but can refer me to someone who has an apartment for rent. This Apartment happens to be on the 41st floor which is the top floor of Morros City and we negotiated for $80 a night with a 100 $ deposit through paypal. I'm pumped!

Hi,
I am new to this part of the ISG. I have been focused on Europe until now.
Forgive me if this has been raised before- but has anyone seen this - [URL]http://sexisland.co/[/URL].
Seem genuine? Or a set up for something more criminal. Nice idea however.
Would appreciate it, if someone could share insight.
Thanks.

Just as the place is filling up with promising Venezuelans.[/QUOTE]It looks so openly and outrageously illegal, that it can't be real. Or better I HOPE it's not real! Maybe a honeypot, or more likely a scam. Would you trust them so much to pay 5000 GBP and fly there? Then, if nobody is there to greet you, or the party is not good as you expected, would you call the police? "Hey please help me, they promised 24/24 sex, drugs & rock& roll, but nobody is here!"
Should it be real, my educated guess is that there's high chance of a raid by Colombia police on their first days of operation, as soon as it's full of silly rich tourists (there are not pirate islands out of any country jurisdiction).
P.S.:
Actually, there is a place in Cartagena, where girls and drugs are on free flow, but it's not advertised openly, and only guys from a CERTAIN country are allowed to spend holidays there. Guess what? Casa.... :) I know you know that place. Police does not pass the security wall, and for those inside it's like Colombia jurisdiction is left outside.
[QUOTE=BiggerVern69;2091599]Hi,

It's not very relevant how it is legal or not. Certain things are allowed everywhere to exercise control over the scene and to advance higher purpose in many cases, including whatever occurs at certain private residences. It's just dumb to see everything at its face value, especially in Colombia. Everyone can unbundle the advertised package and arrange for a similar experience at a lower price, without prepayment and without a group risk.
Hey guys,
Where will it be less dead the last week of December? I'm looking to go somewhere December 26 to January 1st. I've been to Panama a bunch of time and I loved it but I've never been right after Christmas. I don't want to be disappointed.

Hi Cartagena Experts,
What would you recommend for 4 days?
AirBNB or Hotels. I know for a fact that hotels may be cautious with admitting escorts. What you guys normally stick to?
Thanks.
Don't know if anyone mentioned before this post, but Atlanta is now getting a direct flight to FLL through JetBlue, which makes getting to CTG a lot easier if you live in that area.
[QUOTE=Sun08;2034090]From Cartagena, there are direct flights to Atlanta (Delta Air Lines) and Miami (Avianca) and Fort Lauderdale (Spirit and JetBlue).[/QUOTE]
During a trip to CTG, a buddy of mine got quoted the same price (250) by some guy from Uber. I got it down to 180, including picking up girl, waiting, and staying until we left. Always helps if girls haggle down price for you haha.

Someone here is likely to remind you that there are ST love hotels and that maybe it's not a good idea to bring a working girl back to your apartment where all of your valuables are. So no need for me to do that.
I think I've read here that hotels in Cartagena do not allow overnight guests. But someone here said that he thought a new hotel might. I sent a note to this new hotel and they said that an overnight guest would be ok BUT THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE OF $80 US!
So I went the Airbnb route. Airbnb makes it easy to correspond with the owners / managers of accommodations you are considering. So I sent a note to a number of owners / managers (thank you cut and paste) telling them in polite and diplomatic language that I needed to bring in girls from time to time, maybe overnight maybe not, and would that be ok. You have to make sure that you are asking about the policy of the owner / manager AND the policy of the building. Someone in one of the Colombia threads reported having an ok from the owner / manager but could not get a girl past building security. Hopefully a bribe would take care of that situation in most cases. I want to figure out how to tell a security guy in Spanish that I want him to ask any girl I bring back for her ID and either keep it until she leaves or copy down all of the important info.
Good Luck. Please remember to report on both Cartagena in general and on your mongering conquests. Bob.

[/QUOTE]The practice is to register the ID number. They may make her wear a wristband if the building requires it.
You are correct. You essentially need to ASK both the owner and the building for their policies. Most owners already know why you are asking so be clear with them: you plan on bringing back visitors at night. If they have an issue with that either don't rent from them or go to a short time hotel. Dozens of them in the old city.
These policies may change at the last minute. Usually all it takes is one person to cause a problem and the rules get suddenly changed.
"A statement to the newspaper said immigration authorities would use discretionary powers to stop punters getting into Colombia, and added those already in the South American country could be thrown out. ".

It MUST be a scam, targeting the most stupid persons worldwide (the only ones who could pay some part of the full price £5000 to make a reservation).
If not a scam, pretty sure that the place will be raided by Police ("drug free environment" advertised blatantly?
Obviously, the Mayor and other puritan local politicians are taking this opportunity to claim loudly that they do not tolerate sex tourism, child pornography (I do not understand what's the connection with this sex island), etc. Etc. All noise that will help to gather some more votes and public recognition.

Gentlemen,
I'm thinking to visit Cartagena next month, but since I have been in Colombia only once I don't know a lot about this place. Should I book hotel or apartment in order easily to bring girls? How is the situation with BBBJ? Do I need to negotiate it or most girls are providing this service?

I had an extra day since all the delays and canceled flight due to the Avianca strike. We arrived Thursday 10/19. My friend and I arrived at the Torre and went about finding a spinner to release all the tension from life in the states. I found Daniella with her sister Genoa standing under the clock at the entrance to the Plaza De Los Coches. She said they only work together lucky for me I was with a friend so we negotiated without hesitation she said 100 k each a steal. The girl was tight full of energy and had some amazing BBBJ skills. We were in a short time hotel two blocks from the Torre. Its on Carrera 7 just past Calle 36 on the left side of the street. That charged 20 k. The AC was shitty but the room was clean and I could care less because the girl was a winner in my book. I got her number for the next night at an apartment I had rented in El Laguito. We met there Friday and she did another great BBBJ on the balcony before moving to the bedroom for another session that lasted about an hour. My buddy ended up a third night with them. I had other goals this trip and will post details in a later post.

The AC was shitty but the room was clean and I could care less because the girl was a winner in my book. I got her number for the next night at an apartment I had rented in El Laguito. We met there Friday and she did another great BBBJ on the balcony before moving to the bedroom for another session that lasted about an hour. My buddy ended up a third night with them. I had other goals this trip and will post details in a later post.[/QUOTE]A 100 K in Cartagena is a steal brother. Good job. Did you make it to LDV?
C5.
Missed my flight to Medellin so I got to fly in to Cartagena in the morning. Might do an Airbnb for a couple of days. First time in Colombia. Like my chicas dark and thick. Will keep you guys posted.
Friday we checked into an apartment and I had a girl lined up from Tinder. She was about 25 natural body and pretty face. The only drawback was she had a mouth full of braces. She arrived at the apartment early evening and brought her sister who kept my buddy company. We spent some time drinking a beer and ended up fucking for about 30 minutes. I never asked a price but gave her 150 K and 20 k for her taxi. That night we hit the clock tower around 10 and ran the two Venezuelan spinners from Thursday. We took them back to the apartment for a couple hours. I asked them to stay the night but it was early and I think they had other plans. That night we gave them 250 k each for around 2 maybe 3 hours. I realized this trip that most girls won't stay the night if its before 12 and if they do its more expensive 400 k to around 600 k. The next day I left it up to Edgar for daytime action. He came through with a pretty girl around 20 that was kind quiet and not that great in bed. The total with drinks tips and lunch was 350 k. The usual with girls from touts on the beach I overpaid. I think for daytime action its easier than Tinder and unless you have numbers from previous nights or trips worth the extra money. The thing about the touts they bait and switch with the photos they send you so do not settle.
Just got back from Cartagena. Had a wild time.
[B]Avianca Strike:[/B]
If you've been to Cartagena in the last two months you probably profited from Avianca's strike. Evidently domestic service to Cartagena was disrupted due to a strike. It hurt the local tourism as Avianca has the most flights to Cartagena. I laughed when one of the women in the plaza told me they would be bored all night checking their phones for the latest news on Avianca.
[B]Pricing:[/B]
Everyone was up for 200 k for short time. I never heard a no. I could have gotten as low as 150 k if I tried a bit. 200 is a sweet spot for me as they tend to hang around more with money in their pocket.
[B]Updated Mini-guide:[/B]
[B]Schedule[/B]
Monday. Worse day for any kind of action. Most chicas take this off. You'll still find some but it will be far less than usual.
Tuesday. Not the best day but more chicas than Monday.
Wednesday to Sunday. Primetime. Saturday and Friday are the busiest. Pack them condoms!
Day time action:
* [B]Playa Hollywood[/B] - last beach in Bocagrande. If you're sitting alone expect hookers to make passes at you. I was suprised at how aggressive they've become. I was making out with this chica I had been fucking for a few days and numerous times other chicas would walk by and giggle at me and make sexy cutsy little poses as they walked away. So blatant. If you're having trouble finding them tell your server you'd like to meet some local women. He'll send them over to you.
* [B] Avenida San Martin [/B] you'll see some non-obvious hookers around. Again if you're alone they will make a pass at you.
Other than that the backpages maybe but I stuck to Playa Hollywood.
[B]Night time action:[/B]
Most will start around 10 pm and peak at 11:30 PM.
[B]Torre de Reloj Plaza[/B]: Ground zero. Show up at 11 pm and most chicas will be standing around before going to their respective hang outs. A vast majority will try to get you to a hotel for short time. I usually just get phone numbers and do small talk. This is the best place to hookup as chicas are standing and you can size them up all you want. This plaza is active well into 3 or 4 am on the busy nights as chicas will constantly pull customers to nearby short time hotels.
[B]Isis Strip club[/B]: Touts will happily show you the way from the Plaza. Most expensive option. 300 k for short time (20 k to the hotel, 280 k to the house). No negotiating from what I can see. The hotel is a shit hole in my opinion.
[B]La Dulce Vida[/B]: Hooker bar. Most chicas will happily go for 200 k but will want more for TLN. Again most will want to take you to a nearby hotel so it pays to get their number at some point to bring back to your place whenever you want. Great place to dance and drink with your hooker. Watch your bill!
[B]Elektra[/B]: this club has become THE after hours. I did not go but all the chicas told me that it's taken over from Space. I didn't pay attention to Space but from what I gathered it closes early now? Maybe someone else can confirm.
[B]Other clubs:[/B] Some clubs will want a cover fee if you bring in a hooker. Others will outright ban hookers like Alquimico. I did bring a chica into Alquimico but by mostly teaching her my broken Italian and then just had both of us ask to go in in Italian. The security was not impressed and kept giving her dirty looks hahahaha.
Do not go to Pleyclub in Cartagena (it's not in Centro). First of all you'll need to go with a local or two who will charge a fee. There's nothing there you won't already get in Centro for cheaper. Literally when I laughed in the face of a tout pushing Pleyclub he even agreed it's a scam to milk guys out of more money. You'll find everything you need between Bocagrande and centro (the old city).
[B]Other notes:[/B]
* I highly recommend smiling and always being friendly. I saw some guys who like to give the hookers dirty looks and I'm not sure what they're trying to achieve.
* If you see a chica you want who is alone (and is a hooker) don't be afraid to ask her number. If you're already with a hooker let the hooker you're with know you're going to get a phone number and will be right back. I've been called "demonico" because of how many numbers I collect in a night. The next day your whatsapp is full of sexy photos with chicas begging to get some of the action hahaha. Jealousy was only an issue once and I cut that chica loose.
[B]Highlights of my trip:[/B]
* The chica I flew down from Medellin behaved pretty well but did suck up a bit of money going jet skiing. I felt bad for her. She'd never been to Cartagena and was very passive most of the time. She got an early ticket back four days into the trip. We discussed it and she wasn't cool with me bringing back chicas at 2 am drunk off my ass. No shame in that. She has her boundaries.
* Met the craziest 21 year old Paisa. I would never bang a 21 year old. Always 25+ but this one I had to make an exception for. She was an avid soccer player so she had this booty and thighs straight out of a super hero comic. The first time we were together she got into all kinds of positions, including one in the shower bent over touching the floor with her feet together. Hair pulling? She demanded it. A keeper for sure.
Great trip! By far Cartagena is my favorite city to monger in!
Spent 4 days last week in Cartagena. Got cheap tickets on Copa Chicago-Panama (overnight stay) -Barranquilla-Chicago for 372 $. Initially was planning to spend one night in Barranquilla but after changed mind and decided to spend all time in Cartagena. Uber from Barranquilla airport to Cartagena cost me 250000 pesos, back to Barranquilla airport 155000 pesos. There's bus service called Marsol which is way cheaper for 24000 per person but they don't pick or drop at Ernesto Cortissoz airport. Booked one of the Juan's apartments in Laguito next to Hilton for 80 $ per day. Apartment itself was nice with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms but in my opinion it's little expensive for 1 person. I saw cheaper and nicer apartments with Jacuzzi, pool and gym in airbnb. Since I wasn't sure about guest policy in those buildings I just didn't want to take a chance. Taxi from Laguito to walled city cost on uber between 8 to 15 k pesos depend on hours.
First night (Wednesday) I went with a friend to ISIS, saw quite a few hot looking girls there, but didn't take any girl due high prices something like 100 $ for 1 hour. After ISIS we went to Dolce Vita, as soon as we walked in I saw a girl who I really liked and decided to take her home. She quoted 150 $ for 1-2 hour, I immediately lost interest in her and didn't try to negotiate. Around midnight we went to clocktower, saw around 40 girls there. Only 8-10 of them was 7 looking, rest below. My friend managed to take a cute and innocent looking young girl from Venezuela to his hotel, 400 k for overnight stay. I decided don't rush and spent another hour in clocktower square eating arepa, chatting with girls and random people. Finally picked 7 looking girl (face) but with hot body from Venezuela. We agreed on 200 k for 2 hours. She stroke my dick during entire taxi ride to my place. I was thinking this girl will be great but in the room she tried to give me CBJ when I asked her about BBBJ first she refused, after questioned me why I want BBBJ then asked me 50 k more for it. After having sex with her twice I politely asked her to leave because it looked she's not planning to leave anytime soon.
Thursday I woke up late around 1 pm, tried to meet with my friend who was leaving Cartagena but couldn't get in touch with him. Went to Carulla for a quick grocery shopping. Spent few hours at the beach. Was little annoyed by beach vendors who constantly are trying to sell me something. I started to tell street vendors that I'm student from Russia, Turkey or some random country when they asked me wehere I'm from. Actually it worked perfect because when I went back to beach on Saturday nobody bothered me. Girl from last night texted and offered me to meet with her or her friends and sent me their pictures but I didn't like anyone. Later on the evening went to walled city. Had dinner in restaurant and around 11 went to clocktower as soon as I sat on one of the benches, one girl approached me and offered her services. She was nice and friendly but I didn't want to rush and take a girl home too soon. In 10 minutes she dropped from 250 k for an hour to 150 k with BBBJ. I decided to take her offer on that but didn't want to go home and asked her if she knows a place around here. She said yes but it will cost me 50 k more and I will need to pay her. I didn't like how she tried to fool me and I became cheap jerk. After another 10 minutes negotiations we agreed on 1 BBBJ with CIM place included for 150 k. She took me to some cheap looking place near clocktower with just a bed in the room. I wasn't expecting much but she gave good BBBJ. Spent some time walking around walled city, eating street food and exploring. After midnight went to Dolce Vita, sat at the bor top. Girl from last night who quoted me 150 $ saw me and started telling something to her friends about me. Approached by 4 girls 2 of them was hot one 8 other 9 . All of them quoted me 400 k or 150 $ and all of them asked me to buy them drinks. I refused to buy a drink one of them but bought drink for other 3. Got the phone numbers from hot looking ones, danced with one of them rubbed her legs, ass, even fingered her little bit while she was whispering in my ear. It was a quite scene and almost everyone was watching us. She spent with me 40 minutes at the bar top, I told her I will text her later and as soon as she walked away form me got picked by one of the 3 friends who were there. I guess they liked the scene. Those guys picked all together 5 girls from Dolce Vita. Bill for 3 drinks for girls and for my 2 tonic water surprisingly was cheap 60 k. Went back to clocktower but didn't see anyone I like so decided just go home and sleep.
Friday. Weather was really bad, it was raining non stop, streets in Laguito was flooded. Decided just to stay in apartment and give a try to tinder girls. Getting in touch with girls from tinder was really easy. Most of them except one quoted 200 k for 2-3 hours. First around 5 pm met with a girl from Medellin, she was skinny white skin girl with small boobs, kind of shy with poor BJ skills but with tight buddy and pussy. Spent 2 hours with her, paid 220 k. Around 9 oclock another girl came, claimed to be from Cartagena with darker skin little short, nothing special fucked her once, paid 200 k and send her home. Went bed early but couldn't sleep and this girl from Tinder keep texting me begging to meet with her. After failing to sleep told her to come. She arrived around 1-30 am, from Venezuela, single mom, 24, little chubbier than I like (I prefer spinners). I was started to regretting for inviting her but she gave me one the best blowjobs, with deep throat and CIM. I called her 2 more times (Saturday and Sunday) for just a BBBJ.
Saturday. Weather was really nice and sunny. Met with two girls from Ohio on the beach. Spent some time talking with them after went to Bocagrande plaza saw quite a few hot ladies there mostly late 20's and early 30's but wasn't sure if they're locals or tourists. Called Venezuelan girl from last night for quick BBBJ. Later in the evening went to wall city, discovered cuban cigar store, got montecristo for 30 k and while was smoking got matched on Tinder with nice looking spinner, in 20 minutes we agreed to meet in KGB bar one hour later. Surprisingly she was on time but dressed little inappropriate, attracted too much attention. After buying her few drinks we agreed on 250 k for 2 hours. We went my place, had sex with her on the balcony, she refused to give BBBJ and CBJ skill wasn't good. After another sex in bathroom and I sent her home.
Sunday. Woke up early, packed, venezuelan girl came for another quick BBBJ and I got on uber for a ride to Ernesto Cortissoz airport.
Overall- I really enjoyed my time in Cartagena, mostly for warm weather (even though it rained on 2 days), great food, fun time and for easy to find cheap girls. Wasn't impressed with the quality or look of the girls. I prefer slavic and european girls. Looking forward to go back to Cartagena next month or in January depend on my schedule. If anyone would like to join please let me know, we can plan together.
Can someone who has been in Cartagena before please advise me any chica friendly apartment complex near Bocagrande Square Mall? Laguito is kind of far from walled city and constant uber rides adds up quickly.
P.S. I really liked Zaitun and Marzola restaurants and KGB bar during my stay in Cartagena and strongly recommend these places.
I also will appreciate if anyone recommend me good restaurants, bars, cigar places for future visits.

[B]Elektra[/B]: this club has become THE after hours. I did not go but all the chicas told me that it's taken over from Space. I didn't pay attention to Space but from what I gathered it closes early now? Maybe someone else can confirm.[/QUOTE]Yeah I can confirm Space seems to be mostly dead (I went on a weekday, weekend I can't confirm) and closes at 2 am regularly. Elektra is now the after hours spot. Girls from La Dolce Vita and the Clock Tower Square who haven't snagged a customer for the night usually go to Elektra to try and find a willing taker there. Just got back from my Cartagena trip 2 days ago and I had a great time. I will post a full report in the next few days.
I arrived on a Saturday afternoon. I arrived during Cartagena Independence Day Celebrations which is actually a week long celebration in Cartagena. The streets were filled with people, dancing, parades, and the atmosphere was pretty crazy. I arrived during the end of the celebrations, so Sat and Sunday were the last days of the celebrations before everything went back to normal on Monday.
Clock Tower: IMO the best place to pickup girls and get numbers. Almost every girl I asked quoted 200 k pesos. Some will be willing to go to 150 k but at 200 k I don't bother negotiating the extra 50 k. During my 1st 2 nights the square was already pretty busy with chicas I would say from 9:30 pm onwards due to the Independence Day celebrations. On a typical night I would recommend checking out the square around 10:30 pm. Peak time is around 11 to 12, but sometimes you will get lucky and snatch up a dime in the early hours. If you're on a budget then the clock tower square is the best hunting ground for you. Some of the same chicas can be found at LDV as they usually make their way over there after 1130 pm but they may quote you a slightly higher price at LDV. LDV does have it's advantages too, which you are paying a premium for in terms of higher drink prices, but in return you have a nicer atmosphere, which I will talk about later. There will be people walking around selling beers at the clock tower for 3 k pesos. You can also go to the store closeby and buy beer for 2-2.5 k each depending on the brand.
Venezuelan girls: There are many Venezuelan girls around. You will meet them everywhere. I had a total of 5 girls during my trip, 2 of them were Venezuelan, and they were both amazing. The first Venezuelan girl literally thanked me saying "She hasn't had good sex / orgasmed in weeks." haha, and the 2nd Venezuelan girl, also orgasmed and was complete GFE. One of the nicest girls I met during my trip (Although I must say I got lucky, all girls I was with this trip treated me well.) - and her sex was extremely passionate. Before we started she asked me if I wanted a massage. She gave me a great massage, I was so relaxed I joked that I could just go to sleep at that point haha. Saw her on my last night there, she had agreed to 200 k, but after the sex we were so tired that she asked if she could just spend the night. Of course I couldn't deny the request, neither did I want to haha. When she left the next day I gave her 300 k as it was my last night in Colombia anyways and didn't need the extra pesos. Great girl.
Isis: Isis is a good option to go to early. I learned from talking to the girls at Isis that they all live together in one house in Manga. And they all come to work together by bus. So you can go to Isis around 930 or 10 and all the girls should be there. You will see pretty much the same girls there every night. I would go to Isis strictly to get numbers. It is about 300 k for a short time at a closeby hotel but the girls are willing to come to your place for 200 k during the day. In my opinion some of the hottest girls I saw during my trip were from Isis. They have a very solid lineup that should satisfy all tastes in women. I personally love curvy, big booty women, and was able to get the number of a girl from Medellin at Isis that was one of the hottest girls I saw. 100% my type, with a ridiculous booty. She came over to my place for 200 k and delivered great service. Unlike all the other girls I met though she stayed strictly for the hour and then said she had to leave for a beauty salon appointment. All the other girls I was with would ask if I wanted to go a 2nd round. But in all fairness the sex was very good and lasted almost the full hour, and she was very friendly.
Photos: all of the girls allowed me to take photos, but they don't want their face to be shared. If you are interested in taking photos just ask nicely and I'm sure they won't mind.
I'm getting tired of typing so I'll continue my report in a 2nd post. I'll include La Dolce Vita, Elektra, The beach. And anything else I can think of that I may have forgotten.
Oh and just some personal advice. I would recommend never agreeing to more than 200 k at first, If you like the girl after the deed is done, THEN ask her if she wants to stay the rest of the night for an extra 100 k and see how she responds, I'm sure most will agree or maybe ask for a little more, it is a better way then trying to negotiate everything up front. Why negotiate a Todo La Noche if you don't even know how good her performance will be in the bedroom. That's why in my opinion it's always best to stick with short time and then negotiate an all-night after when you know for sure that the sex is on point. Just my advice and 2 cents.
Cheers.

[/QUOTE]The women working there will refer to management as 'la empresa' meaning 'The Company. ' You can get a girl the whole day with you (including at night) if you agree to pay her multa to 'la empresa. ' I actually did this last November and it was 150 k at the time. Its a fine they pay if they want to skip out on work. You then pay the woman whatever you negotiate with her. Some of the chicas grow so bored of working every night they'll do it for 300-400 k if they enjoy your company. I only did it once and that chica wanted me to be her novio after I left but I never took her up on it.
They don't tell you these things in Isis. You'd need to ask them over whatsapp or when you're at the love hotel with them. Otherwise, 'The Company' likes to charge 700 k for TLN which is ridiculous.
Three great trip reports from Yippie, Lalela and Samcik!
Thanks guys!
Haven’t been to Cartagena for a few years, looking to make it back.
Appreciate the updates.

*THE CLUB* for after-hours in Cartagena (3 am-6 am) has been Elektra for many many years, in its classic location in a street 1 block from Plaza Reloy.
Then, the owner got some financial problems and had to close. Further attempts to revive it were Elektricita, or something like that, and then Space (pronounced "EPAICE"). They never managed to even approach the traditional ambience and atmosphere of Elektra.
I am so excited to know that Elektra is back!! Can you specify what is its location? It would be great, if they recovered the original location, with patio. I have so many memories from those times, those nights. I was even having a nap at 11pm, to go straight to Elektra at 3am.

Like you, years ago I as well often napped until 1 or 2 am, showered, coffee then bloody mary or two on apartment balcony, then arrive Elecktra at 3 am, LOL.
Agree with Balboa, three great reports. Enjoyed the read, thanks for taking the time to write!

Guys,
I have been reading the forum for quite some time and figured out my "Plan of attack" for my upcoming visit to Cartagena. I will be leaving this Friday morning and staying for two weeks. I have business in Colombia, so I am quite familiar with Medellin, Barranquilla and Bogota, but never visited CTG. I have corresponded with Juan about apartments and he offered me on on his web site (Marin 1204), but I still wanted to get some opinions from more seasoned guys.
My question is this: Where is the best location to stay. On the beach? Is there a place that will let me bring girls back? I checked out the Morros City apartment that one person talked about, but I have heard from some people that it's a high end building and the doormen are getting strict about letting in women guests. Also, I wold like to be close to a good beach where I can relax. And I want to be walking distance to some good restaurants.
Does this actually exist? If I am shooting too high, please bring me back to reality. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If you want to PM me, that's cool too. If anyone will be there, let me know.
I will write a review when I get back.

I will write a review when I get back.[/QUOTE]Personal opinion, 1204 is a good spot. I like the building and the porteros there are like friends. It's been turned back into a 2 bedroom, with the full balcony (seaside). Another poster mentioned earlier about moving from Laguito to Bocagrande, thinking the transportation cost to El centro would be less. Actually, a taxi from Bocagrande or Laguito should be the same. The fares are set each January and are published for the public's benefit. Bocagrande and Laguito are located in the same zone, so the cost from that zone to somewhere else will be the same. What the other poster cited in a recent report here of paying Uber was typically more than what the standard yellow taxi costs from Laguito to El centro. Not uncommon to pay a little more for an Uber than a taxi in Cartagena (assuming you are paying the published fare), while just the opposite of Barranquilla where the Uber is often a couple mil pesos less.
Personally, I enjoy some of the better restaurants in the city myself, but I prefer the comfort of an air conditioned taxi when dressed appropriately for a fine restaurant. You'll pay 7 mil pesos for a taxi from Laguito to the Walled City and 8 mil after 9 pm. The minimum taxi fare in 2017 for anywhere in Cartagena is 6400 pesos. Personally think it's quite economical to taxi back-and-forth for 7 o 8 mil pesos. Staying in Laguito, you'll be in walking distance to some "good" restaurants in Bocagrande. If you want to eat at a restaurant in the Walled city or Getsemani, take a yellow taxi for 7 or 8 mil.
Where you'd be staying at in 1204 is on the water. There's beach access from the back of the parking garage if you want immediate access to a little spot just to chill. Otherwise, it's a short 10 minute walk to Playa Hollywood if you are looking for something more than just a little chill spot.
Personally, I only hassle with the brand new buildings when I know the girl well and she's going to be the one girlfriend that I am including on the reservation at the time of booking. In that scenario, you'll wifey-up at the high-end, new apartment with your one favorita, and bang any and all others in love motels.
If I want the freedom of banging different and multiple chicas back at the apartment where I'm staying each and every day, then I'm staying in one of Juan's places that I know are hassle free. 1204 is such a place.
Everybody has their own individual style, preferences, etc. , of where to stay, where to bang, and whether they like to wifey up or bang 3 different chicas each day. Do your thing and have a great time!

We share a lot of good common sense and attitude about Cartagena. I am so excited! It's time for me to go back there. I just have to find a work reason to go to Colombia.[/QUOTE]Indeed. Reading the recent flurry of reports has me pondering a trip to CTG in the very near future, LOL. I've mostly been frequenting other parts of the country this year, but Cartagena certainly has some pluses, especially for night owls!!! Many a time I've gotten some well-deserved sleep, headed-out at 3 or 4 a.m. and then been back at the apartment doing what we do best before the sun comes up. Have many a fond memory of taking a break from the main event or receiving head on the apartment balcony with a naked PYT while the sun rises....havin' her work on bringing that second pop!! Love those sun rises in Cartagena hahaha
[QUOTE=Hilltopper;2108573]Personal opinion, 1204 is a good spot. I like the building and the porteros there are like friends. It's been turned back into a 2 bedroom, with the full balcony (seaside). Another poster mentioned earlier about moving from Laguito to Bocagrande, thinking the transportation cost to El centro would be less. Actually, a taxi from Bocagrande or Laguito should be the same. The fares are set each January and are published for the public's benefit. Bocagrande and Laguito are located in the same zone, so the cost from that zone to somewhere else will be the same. What the other poster cited in a recent report here of paying Uber was typically more than what the standard yellow taxi costs from Laguito to El centro. Not uncommon to pay a little more for an Uber than a taxi in Cartagena (assuming you are paying the published fare), while just the opposite of Barranquilla where the Uber is often a couple mil pesos less.[/QUOTE]Thank you Sir!
I am taking your advice. Besides, what's 8 mil pesos anyway? Three bucks?
[QUOTE=Hilltopper;2108583]Indeed. Reading the recent flurry of reports has me pondering a trip to CTG in the very near future, LOL.

Love those sun rises in Cartagena hahaha[/QUOTE]It's literally the best place to monger in Colombia as long as you like warm weather. It's 15-20 minutes from and to the airport to Bocagrande. There are plenty of restaurants on Avenida San Martin. The Old city is a 10 minute ride from Bocagrande and is great to visit any time night or day. Colombians on the coast love to party, are generally happy (despite any poverty) and the touts and vendors are easy to deal with if you have a good attitude.
Chicas and pricing? Excellent. The Venezuelan migration to Cartagena has put a pressure on prices where the hot headed Colombian pro would now rather go to Panama or Costa Rica. Most chicas will happily hang out with you in public because its not their hometown. Very few local hookers exist. A vast majority are visiting, including Venezuelans who come down for a few weeks at a time to make money, buy food and medicine and head back. Many are being granted residency as well.
Girl friendly apartments? Plenty. All you have to do is ask for the building rules before renting. If its your first time get a hotel room for a couple of nights and shop around for an apartment. I did that enough times I now have zero problems. I literally have people I can call who work in real estate who can hook me up. They know I go to monger and they don't give a fuck. Money is money.
Also did I mention its safe as fuck? I never had anything stolen or felt threatened in anyway. The cops, despite being crooked, will fuck up any local who tries shit on a tourist. I literally show up, get drunk and stay drunk the entire week. My only problem is I only have one cock and there's so much sweet chunky ass to fuck, hahaha.
So yeah. I know both yourself and Blackpage spent quite a bit of time in Cartagena but if you haven't been there recently then get your ass back there!

Cost of good hotels and good restaurants are at European levels. The fact that, as you report, recently Plaza Reloy has been flooded by cheaper girls from Venezuela simply means that, for above average looking girls, one could pay 150 k instead of 200 k, or 300 k instead of 400 k for some overnight (except exceptions and rare findings, 100 k it's for one shot in a crap hotel and with a girl who you would not take to a classy restaurant with you). It's good, but still way more expensive than elsewhere in Colombia.
I avoid restaurants on Av. San Martin, except Carbon de Palo. They are mass tourist places and the quality is middle-low. If one decides to invest so much money to entertain himself in Cartagena, no question about where to go for the night: classy restaurants in the Centro. High quality and ambient. Try Cuzco in company of a lovely lady (but if she does not look just out of La Dolce Vita, or it would be embarrassing).
Yes, I welcome your recommendation. I wish I could get back my ass there. All my comments are 10 months old.

Why should I call Uber when there is always a line of taxi waiting in front of me and the fare to move from Centro to Bocagrande or back is 7 k? I pick the first I see in the street and I am going.

With airbnb you can find immaculate apartments in Medellin for half that. And also good places to eat in Medellin for 20 k. Now compare the rates of the Sheraton / Hilton in Medellin with the Hilton in CTG.
A classy restaurant in Centro of CTG will not cost 30 k, but 50 USD. And of course the quick food places in Av. San Martin are cheap!
If one wants to pursue the cheapest, move out of Centro towards Castillo. Cheaper and cheaper.
However, anyone can find a place that suits personal tastes, in Medellin as in Cartagena.

Yeah, when rounding up, LOL. 3 bucks for a taxi to el centro is very convenient!!
Are any of the chicas willing to negotiate some anal action? Or is that just off limits?
[QUOTE=RedBeard33;2112217]

I've only been once to Sao Paolo and I'd say it was always on offer. In Colombia I've had chicas agree to it but chicken out when it came time to (I'm a bit on the wider side so I don't blame them).
[QUOTE=RedBeard33;2112217]Are any of the chicas willing to negotiate some anal action? Or is that just off limits?[/QUOTE]I am not sure about Cartagena in particular but I am sure I have seen a few girls on photoprepagos saying that they do it.
[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2108941]It's literally the best place to monger in Colombia as long as you like warm weather. [/QUOTE]I always thought Medellin was the place to find the best chicks in Colombia? Looking forward to my trip now (except for the warm weather part, God knows you get plenty of that living in Miami and you get tired of it pretty quickly, everytime you spend more than 5 minutes outside you feel like you have to shower again. Fresh / light jacket weather is the best).
Anyways will be in CTG for work starting Wednesday until Sunday this week. Staying at the Hyatt with an ocean front suite (work pays for it). Any recommendations? Prefer the younger college age (I'm 31 look younger haha) cute / pretty model types that you can hang out without arousing suspision to others (coworkers etc LOL) that she's a working girl (google Vale Genta, Camila Cabello, Selena Gomez etc) although the extravagant bang bros types with size ddd fake boobs and huge booties are also fun.
Where I can find a proper normal girlfriend to import back to Miami in Colombia or Venezuela though man? Mongering is fun, but you're eating dinner and going to the movies alone and it kinda sucks and dating in Miami is hard unless you look like Maluma or play for the Miami Heat man (all these girls think they're Instagram models and the non crazy, non gold digger, good ones are taken already!
Anyways, appreciate the tips guys.

The square is not that big, you will surely see them.
As promised here is the 2nd part of my report. I will go over La Dolce Vita, Elektra, The Beach.
La Dolce Vita. La Dolce Vita is a bar with all working girls. It's a nice atmosphere and can be fun and lively especially on weekends. They play good music, a lot of reggaeton and Latin music which I enjoy and the girls like as well, and its more of a lounge atmosphere which I like, as opposed to Elektra which is more of a club atmosphere. The girls are all different shapes and sizes and you should be able to find one that suits your taste. Another pro is that they have a washroom you can use free of charge, unlike the public bathroom by the clock tower which charges a small fee. I only pulled one girl from LDV, it was actually my first night in LDV. I sat down ordered a beer and observed the talent. A cute flaquita girl approached me first and was really nice, good conversation, cute face, but I let her go as I am into big booty curvy types. A few minutes later I spot my target. The biggest booty in Cartagena I would see all week. Nice thick curvy body, and cute face. I approach her and we start to talk, very cool chick, and speaks very good English. We pretty much spend all night together dancing and talking, having a good time. I let her know that I am not interested in taking anyone home tonight and that I just wanted her number so that I can message her tomorrow (I already had a nice Venezuelan girl from the clock tower plaza before coming to LDV, so I was straight for the night, didn't need another pop). In total I think I bought her 2 drinks, plus my beers. I can't remember how much I spent, that night (should have wrote this report earlier LOL), but I think the beers were around 12000 COP, the girls cocktails were around 18000 to 20000 COP if I remember correctly. So I think I spent about 88000 COP. Which is about $30 usd. Which IMO is not bad for a great night out drinking and dancing with a beautiful girl with an amazing body. The next day I message her on whatsapp. We decide to meet for dinner at 7 pm in front of my apartment. After dinner we go back to my apartment for some fun. Great girl, good conversation and amazing sex. Very GFE. Give her 200,000 COP and she's happy. She leaves my apartment around 1030 pm and I get ready to go out. Got to love Cartagena.
Elektra. Elektra is the spot to go to after all the other bars close. I suggest not going to Elektra until 2 am or later. You can get good deals at Elektra, since if you think about it, this is the girl's last chance to get some business for the night. You just have to be smart, and have some game. On my last night in Cartagena I picked up a beautiful Venezuelan girl. It was funny because I had met her on the beach a few days before and I got her number there, but I never ended up following through and using it. At first I didn't recognize it was her until she smiled at me, and I was like "Oh, it's you!" - and at that moment it was target acquired LOL. It was around 230 and I ask her how much to come back to my place. She tells me 400.000 for the night. I tell her I'll give her 200.000 and she quickly agrees. We grab another drink at the bar before we go. Back at the apartment she was the most GFE girl I had. Amazing passionate sex. Before we started she even asked me if I wanted a massage. Of course I say yes, so she proceeds to give me a really nice massage for around 20-25 minutes or so. After the massage I joke around with her that I'm relaxed now and could fall asleep LOL. She had other ideas though and jumps on top of me kissing me very passionately, as if I was her boyfriend who she hadn't seen in months LOL. One of the nicest girls I met, and the sex was amazing. I make her cum within the first few minutes DATY. She had to stop me because she said she was going to squirt LOL and then she proceeds to give me an A+ BBBJ. Doggy cowgirl and Mish, and we are exhausted. We're laying there for a few minutes and she asks if she can just spend the night. Hell yeah! LOL The next morning I gave her the 200,000 COP we agreed to plus and extra 100,000 since it was my last night in Colombia, I really didn't need it. She earned it.
The Beach. Playa Hollywood is the beach where all the chicas are at. I went there and scoped out the scene. Met a tout named Samir. Samir was very good. He wasn't pushy and looked after me very well. Maybe he could tell that I wan't the type of person to be hustled, or maybe he was just a nice guy. I dunno, but my experience with Samir was very good. He is actually the one who approached the Venezuelan girl to come sit with me so that I could get her number (The girl that I met on my last night in Elektra). I don't remember exact prices anymore (sorry!) but I remember them being very reasonable. I tipped Samir 15000 COP (aprox $5 usd) for basically looking after me for 4-5 hours and he seemed happy. He got me a cabana where I can sit and watch the girls, 6 beers, a bottled water, and helped me get a chicas number. Also took me to the washroom like 3 times so I didn't have to pay the 1000 COP to use the bathroom. Very nice guy, and his English was decent. So if you go to the beach I would recommend him.
That's pretty much it for my report. Thanks to everyone for the valuable information that made my trip such a success. If I think of anything else I'll post it. Looking forward to my next Colombia trip, probably sometime next year to Medellin. Had a great time in Cartagena, it's a beautiful place.
Tickets for Cartagena were super expensive. Keep in mind I was buying my tickets days before traveling. Round trip ticket to CTG was $1200+. Barranquila tickets were $650 round trip so I did that. Ubered from Barranquilla for 200 k. I was with my buddy so we split that. Took about an hour and a half to get to CTA and was a beautiful ride. Actually amazing views of everything the entire ride to CTG. Fincas, apartments, countryside, and Ocean views. I was super happy we chose to fly into Barranquilla and ubered to CTG. Saved a couple hundred bucks by doing that.
Checked into Morros city. 41st floor top floor of the building. 80 $ a night. I was informed that they completely changed security and management personnel for the simple fact that they were letting people bring up girls. Was pretty disappointing but I had been talking to a girl and I had registered her into the apt so she was allowed up. My buddy on the other hand didn't register a girl so he was pissed.
Step out every night around 11 pm dressed ready to go. Would find girls at the tower every night and head toward a bar or club. Would hit 2-3 bars or clubs every night with these girls and get at least a bottle at every place. Our choice of drink always ended up being Johnnie Walker Black label or Ron Medellin. We would hit bars and clubs like LDV, Tu Candela, ISIS, Electra, Space, and La Santa. We would start with a bar every time with the girls and move towards clubs. Electra and Space were awesome. Have been to both of them in the past but I def enjoyed them the most this last time plus we partied hard and had fun with our girls. Plus I was with my buddy this time and that made a huge diff Everyday around 4-5 am we would head to LA SANTA. La Santa was my favorite club of all of them and by far the most expensive. By the time we got to La Santa every night we were wrecked, so walking in there with beautiful girls and partying hard till 7 am was always an amazing time. Not sure what it was but we looked forward to la Santa every night. Plus I had a contact over there that treated us really well. VIP everything and first night when the party was getting good they started to pass out Red Johnnie Walker Hats and that was one of the best nights. I remember there was always a ton of gorgeous women everywhere. Everyone was partying with tusi and the music and lights were awesome.
Girls were always 200 k-400 k for the whole night. Beautiful 20-24 years that partied with us from 10 pm - 7 am and then either a quick hotel or the apartment. Morros City gave us a problem every time we tried to get them up. The last night my buddy got a girl past security because she had a similar looking wrist band and they went right to the elevators.
Tinder was solid. Got Tinder passport 2-3 weeks before my trip and talked to a bunch of nice girls and met up with a couple.
This by far was my best trip. Lots of partying lots of girls. We were there for 4 days and didn't hit the pool or beach once. LOL. Party to sleep and eat all day, go out at 10-11 pm. Repeat. I feel bad for my buddy that didn't get to see anything in Cartagena besides the clubs and girls but he didn't mind. He had a great time. We both agreed this last time was the best trip we've ever taken. Withdrawing from CTG right now and plan to get back out there within 3 months. I am considering staying elsewhere. You can def find girl friendly places. Just have to look.

Any woman standing around without a guy next to her is a prostitute. They'll cat call you if you're clearly a foreigner. There will be touts who will offer to take you to Isis a "strip joint" which is really just an expensive hooker bar. 300 k fixed cost from Isis to a love hotel with any chica you see in there. Touts may even offer to take you to La Dulce Vida. This place doesn't get busy until after 11:30 pm and it's a hooker bar. Late night option is Elektra after 2 am.
That's all you need to know about night action for a start.

So a few questions if you don't mind:
- So each night to start you go over to the clock tower and ask or invite 5 girls to bar hop with you? Any questions or negotiations with the girls, you just round a bunch up to bar hop?
- You buy a bottle in each of the 6 bars that you go into each night, what is the cost for the bottle? The cost times 6 bars would get expensive by itself, no?
- How do you determine which one out of the bunch of girls that are bar hoping with you all night you take back to your room with? Do the remainder of the girls that bar hopped with you for the past 4 to 6 hours receive any payment when you send them along there way?
Don't get me wrong it sounds like you partied like a rock star, but you must have also spent money like a rock star.
You got me curious and envious at the same time.
TTM.

[/QUOTE]Younger Paisas in Cartagena (early twenties) are notorious for this. They will gladly accept 400 k for all night and party until the morning. They're not into as much for the money (or I guess make enough they don't care). I don't swim in this water. Too many of them are coke heads.
OK guys.
I just got back from 10 days in Cartagena. I wanted to give the rundown of my trip.
First of all, I want to thank our fellow posters on this forum, Samcik, El Mechanico, YippieKayay, Hilltoper and Blackpage. Also, any other posters who have given out some solid advice. I was lurking on this site for quite some time and I gained a lot of information. Hopefully, I can repay the favor in kind.
As I have been to every city in Colombia, I decided to have my first extended stay in CTG. It was well worth it. The weather was extremely hot and humid. Even at 3 am, I was dripping with sweat. So if you are going, bring deodorant.
I stayed in Laguito at Juan's apartment. I would never stay in BocaGrande or Hollywood if you paid me. This place is quiet and they treated me like a king.
My flight was very easy, and I landed at 11:50 am. The airport was empty and I was through customs in 10 minutes. My cab driver tried to sell me coke and hookers the whole ride, but I already had my own game plan. When I waled in the door, I met one of the doormen. His name was Jose and I immediately gave him 40,000 pesos. He smiled and said thank you and was genuinely grateful. The other doorman is also named Jose and I gave him 40,000 pesos when I saw him as well. Both are super nice guys and only speak Spanish. Thankfully I am semi. Fluent. Tipping these guys was great because when a woman came to my building, they would just call me up and ask if they should let them up. I didn't have to go downstairs, or do anything. It was like room service, but instead of food, it was hot Colombian women! I also bought them Arepas in the morning and they were really loving having me in the building!
Now that the doormen were secured, I wanted to start my mission. I decided to try something different while I was down there, because I am not really the guy who likes to pick up prepago's in the street. A month before I planned my trip, I signed up for Colombian Cupid and Tinder Passport. So, for the last month I was corresponding with almost 50 women on both apps, and narrowing down who I wanted to meet. About 50% of the women I connected with, were full blown hookers. I just deleted all of them, as I wanted to meet "normal" girls. Or at least try to meet normal girls. By the time I arrived in CTG, I had 10 serious girls that were just normal working girls or students, or whatever.
Here is my story:
My first night, I had a girl from Tinder who was going to stay with me for the night. She lived in Barranquilla, so I paid her bus fare to come to CTG (30,000 pesos). Mind you, I have been talking and FaceTiming with her for the past three weeks. She was 26, with a tight body and the best pair of natural tits I have ever seen. I swear to god, I thought they were fake, but they were real. She let me take a picture of them, because I couldn't believe that they were real. They were that good!! I will try to post pics. When she walks in the door, we immediately start kissing and hugging. After about 5 minutes, her clothes come off and we start a full blown session. BBBJ, doggy, CIM, you name it, she did it. I even fucked her on the balcony, overlooking the ocean. It was a great way to arrive in the city. This girl gave one of the best BJ's I have ever had. I was immediately in love. We went to dinner, and we had to wait 20 minutes for a table. We sat at the bar and had some drinks while we waited. When I told her that I had to go to the bathroom, she followed me. On my way out she pushed me back into the bathroom and proceeded to give me another BJ. I was like. "holy shit. Can this really be happening?" Since she was so much fun, I asked he to stay another night. We went to the beach the next day, and had lunch, ate more food and had more sex. That night we went to Quebracho (I'll talk about that later) in Centro and then dancing. Came home and fooled around again. I fucked her on the balcony, one more time and after that, I was tired and drunk and wanted no more pussy for a while. The next morning she had to go back to the airport to catch her bus back home. I gave her 100,000 pesos for the cab to the airport and her bus home. We had a great time and I will definitely go back and see her again. We talk on Whatsapp everyday and I really think she is fun to be with.
Sunday. Daddu was shooting mummy dust, so I went to the beach by myself just to relax and get ready for the week ahead. I went to Bocagrande, just to check it out and I want everyone to take my advice:
Don't ever go to Bocagrande or Hollywood beaches!
It is virtually impossible to get any peace or relaxation. I was pestered by literally 200 vendors selling massages, trinkets, food, clothes, and any other bullshit garbage that is not nailed down. I will never do it again.
I did meet a good cabana boy who hooked me up with some real good weed and other party favors. If you need a connection for someone to trust, just reach out to me and I will give you his number. He was cool and didn't try to hustle me. He has been at the same beach in Boca grande for 15 years.
Here is my advice for all you guys who want to take a pretty lady to the beach. I am glad I found this place, and I am going to share this with all of you.
At the end of Calle 1 in Laguito there is a restaurant on the beach called El Muelle. They have beach chairs and umbrellas that are free, as long as you spend 20,000 pesos. The beaches in Bocagrande charge 30,000 and the hotels charge 70,000.
I could spend 20,000 in my first 20 minutes, so it was no big deal. Also, the beach is a little more quiet and less touristy, so there are not as many vendors. It was much better than all the other beaches. But you can also get a beach chair, upstairs in the restaurant. This way, you are overlooking the whole beach and the vendors are not allowed to to come in the restaurant. Also, they had reggae music playing all day and the waiters are really great. This was a game changer for me. It made going to the beach so much better and I really suggest it. The food is solid and the drinks are reasonable.
Monday. Now that I had a day of rest, I was ready to get back into the game. I had another girl. From Colombian Cupid that I was talking to and she was waiting to meet me. She works as a hostess in a restaurant in Centro, so she told me to come by and meet her. Then when she gets off work, we would go out. I get there and she is standing at the door and let me tell you, I was blown away. She was tall. 5'10" , long legs, red lips, dark skin, and sexy. She had these eyes that said "fuck me". When we saw each other, we hugged like we had known each other for years. I could instantly feel the chemistry. When she got off work, we went to an Italian place for pizza and just chatted to get to know each other. She told me she was 27 and looking for another job. Blah, blah, blah. I could tell that she was really innocent and a good girl. After a few drinks, I finally get her back to my place. When she took off her pants, I was pumped. Those legs were awesome and I wanted them wrapped around me. The first thing I did was lick her pussy. It was completely shaven and dripping wet. I ate her for 20 minutes and she came with such a yell, I thing the people in the next building heard her. She said that nobody has done that to her before. I don't know weather to believer her, but it's my vacation, so I am taking it! Then, she got on top and started riding me. It felt so good to have this totally hot chick riding my cock. I seriously thought about moving to CTG in that moment! After CIM, we talked on the balcony for a while, then both of us fell asleep. The next morning I went out and got breakfast for us (and the doorman). When I got back, she said that she had something to tell me. I was like, "holy shit. Here comes some bad news. ".
She said that she lied to me and that she wasn't really 27, but rather 20 !
I was like. "Holy shit. That's great news!" So I just fucked a girl that am almost 28 years older than. So far, my trip has been awesome.
Got to get back to work. I'll continue with more stories and more "insider tips" later. I also want to give some restaurant reviews as well.
[QUOTE=JohnDoe93;2113018] La Santa was my favorite club of all of them and by far the most expensive. By the time we got to La Santa every night we were wrecked, so walking in there with beautiful girls and partying hard till 7 am was always an amazing time. Not sure what it was but we looked forward to la Santa every night. Plus I had a contact over there that treated us really well. VIP everything and first night when the party was getting good they started to pass out Red Johnnie Walker Hats and that was one of the best nights. I remember there was always a ton of gorgeous women everywhere. Everyone was partying with tusi and the music and lights were awesome.
Girls were always 200 k-400 k for the whole night. Beautiful 20-24 years that partied with us from 10 pm - 7 am and then either a quick hotel or the apartment. Morros City gave us a problem every time we tried to get them up. The last night my buddy got a girl past security because she had a similar looking wrist band and they went right to the elevators.[/QUOTE]Thank you. Great report. I have mongering in Cartagena a couple of times, but I've not been in La Santa. I saw some picture in facebook of that bar and it looks like a good place. Are there many working girls? Is it a good place for mongering purposes?
[QUOTE=CrazyDreamer;2113819]Are there many working girls? Is it a good place for mongering purposes?[/QUOTE]Not in La Santa when I went. Or if there were any working girls they would have been with a customer already. It's an expensive place.
Hey Na,
It was me and my buddy and we would invite 2-3 girls out with us every night. Keep in mind one girl chose to stay with me without charging me so we were really only paying for my buddy's girl and an extra girl. And yea I speak Spanish so communicating was easy for me and they knew how it worked and so did I. We're in our mid twenties and as long as there was a little chemistry we always got along and hit it off with the girls we wanted.
And we would go to 2-4 bars / clubs always ending up La Santa. And yes there are working girls there. Usually since it's an expensive place they were with customers but I promise you on the good nights when it would be 5 am I would look up and there's was always more girls around us and not with customers. Since the one girl that stayed with me and didn't charge me works I'm CTG. She knew everyone. Introduced me to all the club owners. Electra. Space, la Santa. Always walk right to the VIP or stage.
Avg 3 places a night. Yes bottle at everyplace. Usually Johnnie walker 200-350 k a bottle of I remember correctly with the smallest bottle and most expensive at la Santa.
And any girls partying with us knew the price we paid them always included sex. Another example my last night there was this beautiful blonde chick from Pereira that I have been talking to on and off for months that I wasn't able to link up with during my trip. Her and I both really wanted to see each other so she charged me 200 k. From like 10 pm-5 am we partied. I'm between that time she wanted to fuck so we all went to a hotel for an hour. Left hotel kept partying. La Santa till 5 am and when we walked out she wanted to go with me to Morros city and I sent her home cause there was my other girl waiting for me in my apt and security wouldn't let her up.
Not going to lie they have to like you. So get them to like you and maybe just maybe they won't charge you. Has happened to me many times. It's sucks cause they grow feelings and I have to always cut it off. Colombia's amazing. It was my first time this year and I went over 3 x this year LOL. I will forever travel to Colombia.
And I'm a huge 420 guy. Please be careful everything out there is laced with chemicals. Literally everything is laced. In other countries creepy/ kreepy is what they call high quality 420. In Colombia cripa/ creepy is the laced bud and not necessarily high quality. Just a heads up. I barely smoked that's how much I disliked it. The normal Not sprayed stuff is called "floreciente" light bud.
I feel really dumb. We partied super hard this time. Very similar to the hangover movie. Spent the most amount of money I ever have on a trip. First night in Colombia my buddy exchanged dollars and got like 1. 4 mil and spent it all the first night. LOL and we didn't get robbed either we just splurged. I wasn't smart but I don't regret anything.

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2113094]A great report and a help as I will be in medellin next week and need to visit Cartagena to mix things up. So a few questions if you don't mind:
- So each night to start you go over to the clock tower and ask or invite 5 girls to bar hop with you? Any questions or negotiations with the girls, you just round a bunch up to bar hop?
- You buy a bottle in each of the 6 bars that you go into each night, what is the cost for the bottle? The cost times 6 bars would get expensive by itself, no?.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=FastAndFun;2113422]OK guys.
I just got back from 10 days in Cartagena. I wanted to give the rundown of my trip.
First of all, I want to thank our fellow posters on this forum, Samcik, El Mechanico, YippieKayay, Hilltoper and Blackpage. Also, any other posters who have given out some solid advice. I was lurking on this site for quite some time and I gained a lot of information. Hopefully, I can repay the favor in kind.
As I have been to every city in Colombia, I decided to have my first extended stay in CTG. It was well worth it. The weather was extremely hot and humid. Even at 3 am, I was dripping with sweat. So if you are going, bring deodorant.
I stayed in Laguito at Juan's apartment. I would never stay in BocaGrande or Hollywood if you paid me. This place is quiet and they treated me like a king.
My flight was very easy, and I landed at 11:50 am. The airport was empty and I was through customs in 10 minutes. My cab driver tried to sell me coke and hookers the whole ride, but I already had my own game plan. When I waled in the door, I met one of the doormen. His name was Jose and I immediately gave him 40,000 pesos. He smiled and said thank you and was genuinely grateful. The other doorman is also named Jose and I gave him 40,000 pesos when I saw him as well. Both are super nice guys and only speak Spanish. Thankfully I am semi. Fluent. Tipping these guys was great because when a woman came to my building, they would just call me up and ask if they should let them up. I didn't have to go downstairs, or do anything. It was like room service, but instead of food, it was hot Colombian women! I also bought them Arepas in the morning and they were really loving having me in the building!
Now that the doormen were secured, I wanted to start my mission. I decided to try something different while I was down there, because I am not really the guy who likes to pick up prepago's in the street. A month before I planned my trip, I signed up for Colombian Cupid and Tinder Passport. So, for the last month I was corresponding with almost 50 women on both apps, and narrowing down who I wanted to meet. About 50% of the women I connected with, were full blown hookers. I just deleted all of them, as I wanted to meet "normal" girls. Or at least try to meet normal girls. By the time I arrived in CTG, I had 10 serious girls that were just normal working girls or students, or whatever.
Here is my story:
My first night, I had a girl from Tinder who was going to stay with me for the night. She lived in Barranquilla, so I paid her bus fare to come to CTG (30,000 pesos). Mind you, I have been talking and FaceTiming with her for the past three weeks. She was 26, with a tight body and the best pair of natural tits I have ever seen. I swear to god, I thought they were fake, but they were real. She let me take a picture of them, because I couldn't believe that they were real. They were that good!! I will try to post pics. When she walks in the door, we immediately start kissing and hugging. After about 5 minutes, her clothes come off and we start a full blown session. BBBJ, doggy, CIM, you name it, she did it. I even fucked her on the balcony, overlooking the ocean. It was a great way to arrive in the city. This girl gave one of the best BJ's I have ever had. I was immediately in love. We went to dinner, and we had to wait 20 minutes for a table. We sat at the bar and had some drinks while we waited. When I told her that I had to go to the bathroom, she followed me. On my way out she pushed me back into the bathroom and proceeded to give me another BJ. I was like. "holy shit. Can this really be happening?" Since she was so much fun, I asked he to stay another night. We went to the beach the next day, and had lunch, ate more food and had more sex. That night we went to Quebracho (I'll talk about that later) in Centro and then dancing. Came home and fooled around again. I fucked her on the balcony, one more time and after that, I was tired and drunk and wanted no more pussy for a while. The next morning she had to go back to the airport to catch her bus back home. I gave her 100,000 pesos for the cab to the airport and her bus home. We had a great time and I will definitely go back and see her again. We talk on Whatsapp everyday and I really think she is fun to be with.
Sunday. Daddu was shooting mummy dust, so I went to the beach by myself just to relax and get ready for the week ahead. I went to Bocagrande, just to check it out and I want everyone to take my advice:
Don't ever go to Bocagrande or Hollywood beaches!
It is virtually impossible to get any peace or relaxation. I was pestered by literally 200 vendors selling massages, trinkets, food, clothes, and any other bullshit garbage that is not nailed down. I will never do it again.
I did meet a good cabana boy who hooked me up with some real good weed and other party favors. If you need a connection for someone to trust, just reach out to me and I will give you his number. He was cool and didn't try to hustle me. He has been at the same beach in Boca grande for 15 years.
Here is my advice for all you guys who want to take a pretty lady to the beach. I am glad I found this place, and I am going to share this with all of you.
At the end of Calle 1 in Laguito there is a restaurant on the beach called El Muelle. They have beach chairs and umbrellas that are free, as long as you spend 20,000 pesos. The beaches in Bocagrande charge 30,000 and the hotels charge 70,000.
I could spend 20,000 in my first 20 minutes, so it was no big deal. Also, the beach is a little more quiet and less touristy, so there are not as many vendors. It was much better than all the other beaches. But you can also get a beach chair, upstairs in the restaurant. This way, you are overlooking the whole beach and the vendors are not allowed to to come in the restaurant. Also, they had reggae music playing all day and the waiters are really great. This was a game changer for me. It made going to the beach so much better and I really suggest it. The food is solid and the drinks are reasonable.
Monday. Now that I had a day of rest, I was ready to get back into the game. I had another girl. From Colombian Cupid that I was talking to and she was waiting to meet me. She works as a hostess in a restaurant in Centro, so she told me to come by and meet her. Then when she gets off work, we would go out. I get there and she is standing at the door and let me tell you, I was blown away. She was tall. 5'10" , long legs, red lips, dark skin, and sexy. She had these eyes that said "fuck me". When we saw each other, we hugged like we had known each other for years. I could instantly feel the chemistry. When she got off work, we went to an Italian place for pizza and just chatted to get to know each other. She told me she was 27 and looking for another job. Blah, blah, blah.

I don't know weather to believer her, but it's my vacation, so I am taking it! Then, she got on top and started riding me. It felt so good to have this totally hot chick riding my cock. I seriously thought about moving to CTG in that moment! After CIM, we talked on the balcony for a while, then both of us fell asleep. The next morning I went out and got breakfast for us (and the doorman). When I got back, she said that she had something to tell me. I was like, "holy shit. Here comes some bad news. ".
She said that she lied to me and that she wasn't really 27, but rather 20 !
I was like. "Holy shit. That's great news!" So I just fucked a girl that am almost 28 years older than. So far, my trip has been awesome.
Got to get back to work. I'll continue with more stories and more "insider tips" later. I also want to give some restaurant reviews as well.[/QUOTE]Thank you for great and detailed report. I'm glad you had fun. Looking forward to read rest of your story especially restaurants reviews.
Tuesday. After two days of serious fucking, I decided to go to a pharmacy and buy some Cialis. I never tried any of these pills, so I was a bit skeptical.
There are several drugstores next to Marinare in Laguito and I was not in the mood to compare prices, so I walked into the first one I saw. I bought 4 pills of 20 MG for 52,000 pesos. Not sure if that was good, but it sounded fair so I bought 3 boxes. That's all he was allowed to sell by law. I bought even more before I left, because I am giving out boxes as Christmas gifts. (Isn't that a great idea?
When I got home, I was enjoying a nice rum and coke and started swiping on Tinder. It was around 1 PM in the afternoon, and I immediately matched with this little, tight bodied, dark skinned chick. I knew right away that she was a prepago, but I didn't care, because I wanted to try my Cialis. After negotiating price, 200 k pesos, bus fare included, show said that she would be here in an hour. I popped a pill, smoked a joint and waited like a kid at Christmas morning. When she finally arrived I was quite impressed. She wore a floral sundress, had a great smile and another pair of natural, perfect tits. She looked like she was a teenager, so I asked her to see her ID. After finding out she was 24, I proceeded to move on! She was actually fun and funny to be with. We talked for a while and had a drink. Then, She made the move that it was "go time. " When I took her to the bedroom, I couldn't believe this body. He nipples pointed towards the sky and she had on a little thong. It was totally hot and I was already raging like an animal. These pills really do work! I was rock hard and couldn't wait to fuck. We kissed for a while, then she gave me a pretty good BJ (BBBJ). I kept staring at her pussy because I was so horny, and she finally went on her back. This girl had the tightest pussy ever. I didn't think I would get in and she was obviously hurting, so I got put on a lubricated condom and went at it. She let me bang her doggy, cowboy and mish. We even did my traditional balcony doggy, overlooking the water. When it was time to bust, I pulled out and came all over her tits. She was a little shocked by that, and I think she felt disrespected. I told her that I was sorry and made the both of us a drink. We listened to music for 45 minutes, and smoked the other half of the joint just having some laughs. After 30 minutes, I was ready for another session and she could clearly see that I was hard as a rock. She tried to get me for another 200 k, but I told her no way. I asked her if she wanted some lunch, and of course she said "yes". (Colombian women never turn down a free meal). I took her to a little cafe down the block and we had some red snapper with rice and beans. I had two beers and she had white wine. Keep in mind, we were high, and buzzed and we were all over each other. After walking on the beach and talking about life, she said that she would come back to my place for 100 k. I was like. Why not? I was loaded to the gills with Weed, alcohol, and Cialis. LOL We wend up to the room and she straddled me on the chair on the balcony. She rode me for 5 minutes and I just want to bang her doggy again. She had such a great little ass. After a brief attempt at anal, she said "no way", I just pounded her from behind until I exploded all over her back. Once again, she was a little perturbed, but I didn't care this time and I didn't apologize. I was done for now!
We talked for a little while and She went on her way. She was already making plans to hang out with me every day, and actually turned out to be a stalker. She kept sending me messages on Tinder and whatsapp for the next week. Nice girl, but I was on a mission. I still have her number and I already reached out to her just to explain the situation. I will try to see her when I come down again.
Wednesday. Had a conference and dinner with clients. No time for pussy. Got home at 10:30, was exhausted. Smoked a joint, drank a beer, watched TV. Well needed rest tonight. Was in bed by midnight and got 9 hours sleep. Tomorrow I have a big day planned with Claudia, so I wanted to be 100%.
Claudia. I met her on Colombian Cupid and this girl was awesome. She spoke perfect English, was educated and more of a domesticated girl. Not the pushy, aggressive Colombian chick you see at the clock tower. Very polite and very timid. We started talking October, so we were both really excited to see each other. As soon as I woke up, I popped another Cialis, because I was really into this chick for some time. This is a girl that I could seriously wife up. She wanted to go to the beach in Bocagrande, but I would not have any of it. I took her to El Muelle and she immediately loved it. It was quiet, we got an umbrella and two beach chairs. Ordered two Pina coladas and the day was about to start. Guys. When this girl took off her clothes, you had to see her body. She had ripped abs, an insane ass and nice firm, fake the cups. Her skin was tan, but not too dark and her hair was long and black. She was by far the hottest girl on the beach. I was in my glory. It was really hot and humid so we went swimming about 20 times that day. The first time we went into the water, she had her arms around me facing me. We were just talking and she instantly felt my hard on. I didn't know how she would react, but she took her hand and grabbed it and said "what is this"? I laughed and apologized and she laughed too. That was a good sign. Lite kissing in the water and on the beach, but nothing too serious. Everything she did got me excited, and I was getting hard on's periodically throughout the day. After hanging out until 4 PM, we diced to go back to my place and shower and go to dinner. Since she felt like a GF and not a floozy, I was trying to hold off on getting aggressive with sex. Saw her getting ready in a towel and I wanted to attack, but I thought the better of it. Went to a new restaurant called Cande'. Traditional Colombian food, very hip, very touristy, but beautiful people all over the place. I had the lobster, she had the local fish over a bed of rice. Both dishes were great and the food is really solid. We sat in a corner and kissed and touched all night. I couldn't wait to get her home. After dinner we went to some local bar right near the Clock tower. We danced for about an hour and she wanted to introduce me to some friends. Bought a round of drinks and they instantly liked the gringo. One of her friends was also super hot, and I actually thought about trying to get her number. I didn't. But she was that hot. After hanging out with her friends, we walked past the clock tower to get a cab. There must have been 200 women looking for men. I couldn't believe it. The women outnumbered the men and they were all just standing around. A lot were hot, some were not so hot, some were downright fugly. I can see why so many guys go to CTG for mongering. Walking past, I have to be honest, Claudia was better looking than 99% of them. I felt so proud at that moment LOL. When we got in the cab, We started kissing and I was putting my hand down the back of her pants, just to see how she would react. Since there was no stoppage and I could see that she enjoyed it, I was looking forward to the rest of the night. Walking past the doorman, he gave me the thumbs up and I told him I would buy breakfast tomorrow. He was pumped too!
Back in the apartment, we started with a serious make out session. She was really into it and so was I and the passion was building. I took off my shirt and she did the same. Then, I asked her to take off her pants, and she also obliged. I was so fucking horny at this point that I couldn't wait to get her panties off. When I finally did I saw the most amazing thing in my life. Her pussy was totally shaven, and her labia lips were glistening from the moisture. I knew I had to taste her, so I proceeded to go down on her for a good 15 minutes. She was moaning so loud and when she finally came she actually squirted a little. It was so sexy. I asked if I could take a picture of her pussy, but she said no. She get up and tells me to sit up on the edge of the bed. I comply and she give me a slow, wet BBBJ. Using her hands, she stroked me up and down and I was about to explode. She could feel me getting harder and louder and she told me to cum in her mouth. She actually said that she loves it. That's all she had to say and it was blastoff time. She took it all and literally sucked me dry. I couldn't wait to fuck her. After another hour of music, beer and weed, she was ready for another round, and so was I. This time, I laid her on the bed and spread those legs and rubbed my cock on her pussy. I could already see her juices flowing and had to enter her. At this point, I was feeling so blessed to be fucking her. Life is good boys! And it's also short, so enjoy it the most you can. She was moaning and speaking Spanish and flipping over so I can bang her doggy. When she got on top I was staring at the most perfect woman. After about twenty minutes of fucking I pulled out and told her to open her mouth. She did. And I came all over her face and mouth like a porno movie. She even scooped up the errant cum and put it in her mouth. I was officially done for the night! Went to bed and I let her sleep with me in the master bedroom. I asked her to stay with me for the rest of the week. She said that she had to work, but would figure out how to make the most of our time together. The next morning, I bought Arepas (Carne y huevos) for us (and the doorman). We laughed and kissed some more and she still looked so sexy in her pajamas. She had to get to work, so I gave her my customary 100 k pesos for taxi. She gave me back 50 k and said that was too much money. Can you believe it? A Colombian girl giving back money? Unheard of!
Anyway, I really plan on keeping this girl. She is exactly what I am looking for. And. The best part is this: She does not want to live in the USA. She said all her family is here and she could never leave.
We talk almost everyday via Whatsapp and I know for a fact, that she will be my number one in CTG.
I am seriously thinking about moving to Colombia. It would be a great move for my business and I need to get better with my Spanish. Although I speak it pretty good, I am not business fluent. Anyway, Back to work. I have one more girl who I met and then I want to discuss some restaurant reviews. Part 3. Later in the week.

It seems you don't know what is the perspective effect given by a wide-angle lens. Trust me, the tits of my girl are perfectly symmetrical. I am sorry if I could not provide a 3D hologram here (HEY Jackson!! When will you modernize this forum??)
I agree with you that I could not choose between the two. Incomparable beauties. The real problem for me (I guess for the 99.9% of us, you included) is that the probability to be in such a pleasant opportunity to choose between two such pairs is extremely low on a day of our life time. Rare events happen seldom. TWO rare events at the same time, square seldom.
Already booking my trip back for Late January or early February.
Since the flight costs the same as Florida, why would I not go back there?
Going to be in Cartagena soon. What's the best place to exchange USD to Pesos? Thanks!
[QUOTE=Benargen;2120062]Going to be in Cartagena soon. What's the best place to exchange USD to Pesos? Thanks![/QUOTE]This topic comes up often. I've always used my ATM card. I always charge it in pesos so I get the best exchange rate from my bank. I have a number of free international withdrawals so no bank fees. I've seen people change money at the airport but I have no idea how good the rates are. I found in Bogota's airport it wasn't so bad (right before customs).
Interesting considering that Mde has so many casas and more night time options.

[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2120100]This topic comes up often.[/QUOTE]Because people does not like to make a search for appropriate keywords before asking. Easier. That's why "RTFF" is a word that is as common as "ATM" in this thread.
Juan's great, but he only has one apartment available in Marin when I'm visiting with some friends and we need 4 bedrooms in the same building. Anybody know how I can find a second apartment to rent in that building? I think it has the best visitors policy, unless there's another building you think I should consider.
Thanks as always for the great advice!

[QUOTE=YippieKayay;2113065]Like someone else said: ask the driver around 11 pm to take you to the clocktower plaza (torre reloj). Any woman standing around without a guy next to her is a prostitute. They'll cat call you if you're clearly a foreigner. There will be touts who will offer to take you to Isis a "strip joint" which is really just an expensive hooker bar. 300 k fixed cost from Isis to a love hotel with any chica you see in there. Touts may even offer to take you to La Dulce Vida. This place doesn't get busy until after 11:30 pm and it's a hooker bar. Late night option is Elektra after 2 am.
That's all you need to know about night action for a start.[/QUOTE]What's the club on the strip in front of the beach where all the hookers from all over Colombia work?
Check with your bank I got hit with advance fees as well as ATM charges. I will be looking for a card that allows international charges Thank YippieKayay for the tip. The airport in CTG was the worst exchange of the three I used in the area.
[QUOTE=Vatore007;2121233]What's the club on the strip in front of the beach where all the hookers from all over Colombia work?[/QUOTE]But it moved from Laguito a couple of years ago. Maybe somewhere else I'm not familiar with?
[QUOTE=DaveCarrera;2121490]But it moved from Laguito a couple of years ago. Maybe somewhere else I'm not familiar with?[/QUOTE]1) "LA DOLCE VITA" (please note: not "La Dulce Vida") was never in front of the beach.
2) This is not Las Vegas, there is no strip, and I cannot recall any bar full of hookers on any large street.
3) Yes LDV moved to Centro, long time ago, and even changed name along the years.
4) Plenty of details available on this Thread. Anyone interested to learn about CTG's nightlife, PLEASE just read here.
Will be in Cartagena late January and it is more convenient for me to visit a brothel rather than the night clubs since I would be able to visit only during the day.
From all the reading of the posts all the brothels are situated more inland far from the Centro / Bocagrande / Laguito area. Does anyone know of any decent brothels inside these areas?
Thanks.
Hey everyone,
Long time lurker and former regular contributing member just getting back on this board after an 11 year hiatus. Had to change names as I couldn't remember my password and quit using that old email years ago. I'm looking into the Visa Travel Money card. (google it) It's a prepaid card available through AAA. I think it is a modern day version of traveller's checks and can be used in ATMs. I'll report more when I have completed my research (and purchased a card). I'm planning a trip to Cartagena and Barranquilla in March. If anyone else will be there at that time, maybe we can have a cerveza or 5 and swap stories.
Touched-down late afternoon, checked into our apartment in Bocagrande, and went to Playa Hollywood.
Back-story: Me. Mid 30's, 3rd time to Colombia, 2nd to Cartagena, passable Spanish, decent-looking, fit, white. My buddy: turning 30 this trip, 1st time in Colombia, no Spanish, Asian descent.
We went to Bar #4, towards the end, around 430 p. Had our server grab a couple girls. We had a few beers, chatted, they wanted to come back. I was quoted 150.000, but there was a problem. My buddy's girl didn't have a cedula (she is 22, mine 23). We fretted for awhile, but decided to chance it. Guard let her in for 30.000.
I told him to offer 120.000 and see what happens, but to be prepared to pay 150.000 (he has no clue about the conversion, etc, yet). I eventually convinced both girls to agree to 140.000. Both average faces (cute, but average) and tight little bodies. He popped once and ended up paying 200.000 (beginner's luck)! I paid 140.000 for two pops. My chica was a little enamored and tried to put on a show that she wants 200.000. I held firm, she threw the money into the kitchen and left. Then, the door buzzer and knocks ensued. I ended up giving her cute little pouty ass a regalito, and she was happy as a clam. We then went to the mercado for waters, beers, food, etc. The girls tagged-along, and helped. By helped, I mean, they tried to throw items in the cart. My buddy's chica flipped a switch when he didn't give her a gift, nor pay for her groceries (I told him to bring regalitos, but being his first time, he wasn't sure if I was messing around, or not). Fast forward, my chica wants to cook us dinner. His chica is on a rampage. I explain to her that not only did he pay an extra 60.000 but he paid 30.000 for her entry. She was having none of it. Pretty comical to watch her angry in Spanish, and him playing dumb in English. I got my chica to pull her amiga out, and we are off to Centro, shortly, for dinner and exploration.
Good start to the trip! I'll update with more details on the events and chicas involved, when I can. Next stop is MDE, Jan 2-8.
Cheers.

There are no casas in Centro or Bocagrande. You should refer to the Map for exact locations and details. However, once again, DO NOT go there if you are not experienced of the environment.
If you want to get laid daytime, your best bet would probably to go to the Holliwood Beach and get in touch with some girl there. RTFF for details on where, when, how, but especially pitfalls (there are many) and opportunities. I personally weight more the pitfalls for beach girls than the opportunities, and therefore I rarely took advantage of Holliwood Beach. Not that I would not recommend that, but again I think the best of CTG is at night. Best daytime would be with a girl, or girls, met in the night and who deserve so much that you want to enjoy also some beach time with them.
Question for you guys who go bareback, do you cum inside them? Do Colombian chicks use birth control?
So, now that I have a few minutes.
At Playa Hollywwod, we were being helped at Bar #4 by Jhon "The Genius" (self-proclaimed). Good guy, and of course, the standard rule applies. He has everything. I have dubbed it the 3 T Rule. Todos Tienen Todo. Anyhow, just a quick word of caution. When he pulled the girls over, they did their job, in the form of two shitty coconut drinks to the tune of 30.000 each. Our 8 beers cost 48.000 total. So, I messaged him none of that bullshit, today, and he agreed. There were 3 girls, and we had two come over. The flaquita ([URL]https://www.facebook.com/mariadelosangeles.parrareyes[/URL]), Maria, speaks no English. She is Venezuelan, about 5'7, nice skinny body, some tattoos. If you go to her FB, click on her photos on the left, I would venture to say the one from August 23 is going to give you the best idea of her appearance. She eventually copped an attitude, but she was good for the majority of the day. I don't know details about the session, but she duped the rookie into 200.000 for one pop. They did hang out for a few hours, including the beach, session, and grocery run. My little mulata goes by Tiffany, (no FB, but I have cell # / wpp). Maybe 5'1, 90 lbs. She was a little vixen, cute dimples, good body (small boobs, nice ass). She is a 23 yo mother of three, and I only noticed her hatchet wound in one position, and given the shape she is in, it didn't really bother me. Not the best BBBJ, but the thought was there. I think maybe she has a nuva ring, because a couple times I felt something twinge. She allowed BB the 2nd time (not intended, nor do I feel great about doing so, but it was almost a necessity to finish). Real GFE experience. No rush, not much discussion about money. As I mentioned before, they played good cop / bad cop and then had a role reversal. At the end of the day, it was all good.
We headed to Torre del Reloj, in search of dinner and action. Two or three stunners, at 1030 p on a Wednesday night, right in the heart of the action. Freelancers. We bounced around, but it was pretty quiet. We stopped into Alquimico, which was a treat for my buddy, as it is pretty impressive to watch the bartenders buzz around and make their handcrafted cocktails. It was quite busy, as was the rooftop (which is more casual than downstairs). We ended up going to Porton de San Sebastian for dinner. I thought the prices were high. Maybe, 45.000 average for an entree. However, the pasta I had was good, and the house speciality steak that my buddy ordered was a hit. We stopped by LDV, which was a bust, and then hit KGB. I had the worst White Russian of my life (no ice, all Kahlua), but the decor is unique, to say the least. We decided to head back to Bocagrande, and had one beer at Mr Drink. The lights were insane in the place, I felt like I just got surrounded after a midnight car chase. The locals were dancing and doing shots, it was a decent change of pace for the evening.
Today, it's gym, Getsemani for touristy shit and food, then head to Bar #4 to meet Jhon for some drinks and chicas. He will have mota for my buddy, and I'll try to remember to report on that, later. I have Jhon's number / wpp, if anyone is interested. My buddy turns 30 at midnight, and it's the start of the weekend. More to come.
Cheers.

When he pulled the girls over, they did their job, in the form of two shitty coconut drinks to the tune of 30.000 each.[/QUOTE]Pretty standard. I usually offer them aguila and if they ask if the tout offers a mixed drink I shut him down.
I'm surprised you found any real pussy in that city at this time. Good luck though. I suspect places like LDV would be empty. It's pretty much plaza chicas going there after 11 pm.
YippieKayyay: It was Day 1, and the tout / chicas pulled a fast one. I didn't even know they ordered, because they already had drinks at their table. I told the tout no more bullshit like that, and he understood. Today, he'll be keeping the putas away from us, as I will be bringing sand to the beach.
Thursday: Day 1 little mulatta "Tiffany" was at the beach, on Thursday. She came over to sell my buddy some seriously discounted mota, compared to the touts (10 k / g). She rolled 10 joints for him, sessioned with me, and asked for taxi money. Pretty solid afternoon.
We napped and went to Zaitun for dinner. Not bad, at all. Had a couple decent cocktails, and good meals. We bounced around, after, and ended up taking home a couple girls from the clock tower. I had Diana, a young student from Bogota. She has an amazing body. She asked for 300 k, and agreed to 200 k. Very nice, all around. ([URL]https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100013220884053[/URL]) I saw her working the tower, again, last night. She had a friend with her, that my buddy took. Same deal. Diana provided BBBJ (as offered by the clock tower) and a great plethora of positions. Diana was super excited about a regalito, and wanted to stay (for more money). I stole one of my hats back from her, three times, and hit the sack. I gave her a ring pop, and she later sent a video of herself simulating a BJ. I would highly recommend.
Friday: My buddy's 30th. We took a couple young civilians (Tinder match from a couple weeks ago) on our boat to Cholon & Playa Blanca. Restaurant in PB tried to charge 50 k for meals. When we went to walk out, they lowered it to 35 k. Overall, it was a good experience, and nice change of pace for a day. The girls came back to our apartment for a bit, but mine had to leave because her mom was flipping out about her being out, when they are late on rent. She is a skinny mulatta with cute dimples. A dancer. Fun day but nothing to report.
We napped and went to Quebracho for dinner. Decent enough, live music, bottle of wine, etc. Touts were fighting over my buddy's money; offering free trial, etc. I wasn't involved aside from keeping an eye on the situation. Eventually, one tout was claiming he gave a gift to my buddy, and he owes him 100 k. We ended up nose-to-nose, next to the statue, as I had to do the talking for my buddy. Stupid situation that thankfully didn't escalate more so. That is the type of stuff I would never get myself into, when I travel alone, but I digress. We ended up taking home two solo girls (200 k). Mine was 23, I think, ([URL]https://www.facebook.com/gianny.castropico?lst=100014832541603%3A100001728515342%3A1514658588[/URL]) with one young daughter. She had a big scar, covered by an even bigger tattoo, BUT her body was amazing. Different than Diana, as Diana was skinny and toned, while Gianny is more curvy. Big naturals, nice fake ass. She asked for a condom for BJ, but gave in when I started laughing. Very fun to see her ass in action. I would recommend. She had the body / look that almost brought the clock tower chaos to a screeching halt, when she made her rounds. Day 1 mulatta actually watched her walk by, then imitated her fashion model strut. I love how celoso these chicks get (sometimes). My buddy had a little mulatta that is on Tinder; light contacts, cute little body. I apologize as I am starting to realize I'm not adding much info about his chicas, but I don't ask questions, and he thinks this shit is normal (totally unaware of the days of research / effort I have put in, on ISG and beyond). Gianny didn't have her cedula, and we had to deal with a female at the entrance, but all ended well, and I tipped the girl 20 k. I took that out of Gianny's fee, also. One downer, not a big deal at all, but in principle. Taxi gave me a 1 k instead of 10 k, when we returned to the apartment. I didn't realize it until he was gone, as it was dark in the taxi and I was more focused on the girls. If I get the pleasure of seeing him, again, I'll certainly get dropped off in a tight space, and book it, just for fun. Ill-advised but I need to get the adrenaline pumping, every once in awhile.
Today: My buddy had a later night than myself, so I headed off to Power Gold Fitness (I think that is the name) on Cr 4, south of CL 7. I paid 20 k entry, as opposed to telling Bodytech that I want a free trial day, over and over with different passports / IDs (they log a number into the system). In Medellin, they don't seem to care, one bit. Here, it seemed a little more corporate, with more eyes and mouths. Anyhow, I walk upstairs and see an amazingly fit body, just crushing her workout. Tight ass, abs of steel, voluptuous lips, and sexy dark hair / eyes. I could feel the tension, all workout, which is much more pleasurable than some puta on the beach or at the tower. When we were walking out, I asked if she wanted to go eat. She said she didn't know me. I introduced myself and asked again. She said she had a nail appointment at 1 p (it was noon). So, we agreed to go for a 45 min lunch. She took me to a nice little place on the south side of what I assume to be CL 9, middle of the block between Cr4 & Cr3 (I think). We had chicken wraps and some juice. She doesn't speak English, but we got by on my Spanish, and a couple usages of GT. Amazing smile, fantastic body. Admitted to being extremely jealous. Doesn't have social media because her ex-boyfriend hacked into it and went crazy. Typical Colombiana. She showed me a picture of a girl that I know is a working girl (IG: stefyr167), because she is in cahoots with another escort I have been messaging with (IG: ileybeat). The latter of the two goes by Yeiny, lives in Bocagrande with another chica, and they seem to be high-end pros; no BS. Yeiny has an unreal body, but a dog face, so I haven't pulled that trigger, yet. OK, I'm getting side-tracked. So, gym girl says this chica is her sister, who lives in Mexico, and has a 9 yo daughter. On her IG, she lives in Cartagena and has a young son. So, not sure what that story is all about, but I don't really care, either. We're going to the beach at 4 p, and then maybe dinner, later (Cuzco). I am just waiting for the moment when she ruins my vibe by mentioning money, etc. However, thanks to her, I don't have shit to do for a few hours, and found time to submit this report!
Cheers. More to come.
[QUOTE=JohnDoe93;2114230]
And I'm a huge 420 guy. Please be careful everything out there is laced with chemicals. Literally everything is laced. In other countries creepy/ kreepy is what they call high quality 420. In Colombia cripa/ creepy is the laced bud and not necessarily high quality. Just a heads up. I barely smoked that's how much I disliked it. The normal Not sprayed stuff is called "floreciente" light bud.
JohnDoe93.[/QUOTE]What do you think it was laced with? People always argue that lacing weed would be expensive and a waste of resources to the person selling it. I think there are many cheap ways of doing it. After all it doesn't have to be a safe method, anything that alters your sense of being works. I have been researching Naples, Italy and one respected website says they cut the weed with medicines and barbiturates.
With the level of high THC in good weed these days the room for competition is fierce. It worries me that dealers will try to increase your buzz by competing with high quality weed. It is nothing less than cutting coke or heroin with dangerous fillers.

[QUOTE=Sho423;2122002]Question for you guys who go bareback, do you cum inside them? Do Colombian chicks use birth control?[/QUOTE]
I've barebacked a lot this year in Cartagena. I'd say 2 out of 3 chicas will do it. Especially if they like you. I've never known any of them to be on the pill unless you get them on it. Some of them will say they got an injection.
The day after pill is called Post Day in Colombia. I think it's about 25k. She can only take it once every few months. It can be taken 72 hours after the deed so technically you could fuck her raw for 3 days then have her take the pill. This is not medical advice. It's what the pharmacist in Cartagena told me. The pill isn't 100% effective. Are you going to knock up some chica? It may happen. You can expect one or two fake pregnancies for sure as a means to extort money from you. Then there's the risk of STDs, and some chicas will outright refuse. The ones who refuse may go around trash talking you to other chicas (although hilariously this appears to have the opposite effect). Bareback comes with a lot of risks.
That's one reason I steer clear of Bogota. Bareback was offered everywhere and I'm too weak to resist.
Just passing on some info FWIW.
Young 20-something guy from the States fell to his death around 7 am This morning from the 14th floor of Mirador del Laguito. My understanding is no chicas and no foul play at hand; just an accidental fall. Was told a night of partying / intoxication most likely played a big part.
Thought I'd pass along in case folks heard and wondered if anything suspect was at play.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Simplest way to arrange for daytime action is to use Tinder. In Cartagena you will get lots of matches from the prepagos. You can always take them to a short term hotel if your place is not convenient.
Here's to the best year of our lives, followed by better ones. Happy 2018!
Since we last spoke.
Saturday, Dec 30.
I got stood up by my lunch date, which was at Gokely, by the way. Nice little place with wraps, sandwiches, bowls, salads, juices, etc. She messaged me that she hit her nose hard. Only Colombianas. I assume she is a working girl, based on her friends, and her BS. Photo below, in the black dress. Anyhow, since I didn't meet up with her, we went to Playa Hollywood and Jon (Juan Carlos Cervantes Obeso on FB) found me an 18 yo Venezuelan before sunset. He also grabbed a flaquita for my buddy. They were a good match, since she spoke no English, but she liked to smoke and had tusi for him to pop his cherry. My girl (Amber) had amazingly beautiful eyes, skin, and hair. Although, she has a few extra pounds for being a teenager. She quoted me 150 but 200 for BBBJ. Then, she told flaquita she was getting 200, so my buddy's price went up 50, and of course, he paid it. He's getting throttled because of his lack of Spanish. Anyhow, my girl was solid. She was hungry, so we hung out for a bit, and I made her a PB&J. Her first, ever. (Mariamyi Herrera on FB) I smelled a little rankness, so we showered and all was good. BBBJ in the shower, and ended up paying 160 with no questions. She has a big, round ass, and if you can get her to smile, she's got a great look to her.
In the evening, we walked around centro and ended up going to Restaurante Karamairi in Plaza Santo Domingo. We tried to go to a couple other spots, including Bacco Trattoria, but it was a busy night. The fresh air and breeze in Plaza Santo Domingo, along with the live music, and hustle and bustle, made for a nice evening. A lot of foot traffic, carriages, etc. Our meals were both decent (pastas). We went to The Clock Pub to watch the UFC fights, and we posted up at our spot - 2nd floor window, so we can watch the night unfold. Eventually, after bouncing around, we ended up street sweeping at the clock tower. I saw a tall, cute-faced brunette, perfect for my buddy. He agreed, so I went over to seal the deal. 200 for an hour. Now, I had to find myself something, as she was alone. They used GT to chat, while I got sidetracked with an English-speaking tout. He was there the night before, when I almost got into a fight with another tout, who had asked him to translate. He as apologizing, and saying he won't be translating for that group, again. We chatted about various things; he is well-versed in the local goings-ONS. He grew up in Miami. As I was about to leave the conversation, a tall blonde, with brand new bolt-ONS, strutted her stuff through the crowd. Unbeknown to me, my buddy had already pegged her as my target. She approached with a big smile and more energy than I could ever muster. She is the type of chick that would be great if you were here with a few buddies, and you needed that type of girl that would get the party going / keep it going. I would imagine a boat trip to the islands would be fantastic, with her. We left with them, and my girl said 200 k for 2 times, no rush. She could send the other girl was a little more methodical, so she was trying to help. We got back and learned a new rule: our apartment charges after 10 pm, once you hit 6 guests on your sign-in sheet. We have had probably double that, so I am assuming the key is the after 10 pm part. We paid 39 k to get them in, after some fun poking by my chica about having so many guests. She crushed 4 beers in the time she was over, and rolled her eyes about the other chica, about the same amount. In the right situation, she would have been a blast. Actually, she was a blast, but I can see her potential being much higher if you needed that energy. Her tits were having their 30th (day) birthday, and she was raring to go. I think she had a fake ass, that was decent, but a little strange. She is fit, but a little loose. Great smile, and better service. Of all the chicas, thus far, she did it best. BBBJ, CG, whatever they call doggy (4, I think), etc. She wanted more, and after one pop, I just wanted to go to sleep. My buddy's chick threw a fit over how much. The tout got them to agree to 200 k for 2 x. She said 1 x (which is what they originally agreed to). I have found that these chicas hate when I get involved and try to help my buddy by speaking Spanish to them. She rolled her eyes at me, and eventually, when they left, she flipped me off LOL. My girl's name is Carolina (+57 302 409 0552), not sure if she's on FB. She video called me, the next morning, and was showing her tits / fingering herself, saying she wants to see me again. Definitely a first, for me. I'm telling you. Over the top positive energy.
New Year's Eve.
I went back to Bodytech (used my drivers license, this time, and got another free workout), and saw the most gorgeous girl. She was amazing. She had some selfie stick contraption, and was recording her exercises. I was planning to invite her to lunch (worked before, so why not, right?) but she left when I was in another room. I tried to track her down on Instagram, by searching Bodytech, but to no avail. She was that hot. I grabbed some breakfast at El Palacio de las Frutas. I have no idea how we got short rib & potato soup, with rice, eggs, fruit, and a warm / frothy OJ. I ordered the Especial, which I thought was eggs, sausage, bread, and juice. Meal sucked, but served its purpose. We went out to Playa Hollywood, and had 20+ beers, while watching a group of Argentinian girls go in and out of the water. Quite a scene, as two or three of them were stunner. At the end of the day, we were going to go to Restaurant San Marino, to watch some football. Before we left, Jon and the fellas brought over a couple girls. One mulatta that was OK, nice body, and her very average friend. Turns out. The mulatta is the 18 yo Venezuelan's sister! She is talking to me like she knows me, and I finally grasped the situation. They live together, and he little sis must have spilled the beans. Shortly thereafter, the girl walks up with a huge grin, and I couldn't help but start laughing. I asked her if they work together, and she said yes. We decided to go eat and watch a game. I was on WhatsApp and trying to coordinate with Yeiny. She is a dog-face with a 10 body. Her friends are legit. I have to imagine they are the high-end crew, locally. She quoted 300 k, and said they would be ready in an hour. This was at 7 p, so I balked on the possibility of waiting around until 9 p. She wouldn't budge off 300 k, and then said they were busy, when I asked if she could just send her two friends over. These girls are the hottest I have seen, in terms of working girls with pics. (Maybe, Yeiny Paz, on FB) I'm not exactly sure how I got in touch with this girl; maybe Instagram. The 18 yo Venezuelan finally messaged me a few hours later, saying OK in response to me telling her to come over. I told her no, because it was too late. We went to centro and ended up on the rooftop of La Cumbre (clock tower, next to Mirador) for the show. We met a group of gringos, and had a few beers. It reminded me of earlier in the day when a guy in a US pro sports team polo, plaid shorts, cross-shoulder bag, and flip flops was walking the beach, sweating his ass off. And approached the group of Argentinians. One by one, they walked away, until just a single girl was stuck answering his broken-Spanish questions. As he walked away, he had cell phone in-hand, and a wad of pesos hanging out of his pocket. I finally understood the meaning of gringo. We ended up going to Fragma, to party. We got a VIP table for 750 k, which I negotiated down to 600 k. She said yes so quickly that I asked her if 300 k was OK, and she laughed. Turns out, it actually was. I told her one bottle of Ron Zacapa 23 (300 k), and we would decide later, on the 2nd bottle. We drank half of the bottle, and split, after having paid maybe 309 k. The VIP area was packed with smokeshows. This group of younger Colombian guys were passing out tusi like candy. The group was maybe 12+ people, and they had one little bottle of bottom shelf whiskey, along with a dozen waters. The girls were seriously good-looking. It was a treat to watch them dance the night away. Until. A legit fight broke out between two little Colombian guys, inside the VIP. The girls seemed a little shook, especially considering the high they were riding. Security finally showed up, after the incident had stopped, and allowed both parties to stay. It almost happened again, 15-20 minutes later. When all is said and done, we sweep the clock tower and it's nothing doing. LDV was closed, which I explained to my buddy did not mean all the girls were out and about, it meant there were no girls.
I have lined-up the Venezuelan from the other day (fantastic body. Diana, the student - [URL]https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100013220884053[/URL]) to go to Santissimo or Cuzco. She will bring a friend, for my buddy. She gave me two options. I told her I'm not paying for her time to go eat, and she agreed. It is our last night in Cartagena, and of all the girls, I think she was my favorite. The best part is: I'm not too convinced, but I have to make a decision. It's been a great week. Tomorrow, we go to Medellin, where Yisela Restrepo will be waiting, along with her friend. She wanted 250, and I said 300 for a non-rushed, no hassle night of fun. Our pad has a jacuzzi, and I fully-intend on using it, tomorrow night.
More to come (likely in another thread).
Cheers.

I'm back in Cartagena for a week (from Tues 2nd).
I lived here for all of 2016 and had a blast.
Any paid members around want to meet for a beer and wing up send me a message.
I was amazed at how small the world is becoming. I mapped out everything from Google maps. Had a great Laquito apartment off of Bnb for 40 bones per night. Wifi is everywhere so translation and conversation is no problem for a muy porquito Espanol speaker like myself. And most important Tinder rules.
Set up a tinder profile, swiped right and from 150 k to 200 k I had women come to my door. Including but not limited to: a Tu Candela dancer, a bikini beach model, 2 bi sex university students, and an incredible massage therapist.
I love the clock tower and loved the beach even though not that nice. The touts I avoid. I can get my own pussy so thanks but no thanks.
I basically just smoked weed everyday. Invited girls to eat, dance, and fuck and it was maybe the best 8 days of my life.
I also like how Tinder cuts out the touts and middlemen and pimps because well fuck them. Prices for a guy with average looks and a bit of charisma was 120 on low end to avg 180-200. Paid 300 k for a super model and realized after she would have done it for 200 k.
One last thing: play your game not theres. Have no prob saying no or setting expectations. I felt very lucky to encounter very little bullshit and the Chicas kept coming back day after day for more. I love these girls.
Sorry. P.S: I also fucked a Venezuelan who was fine from tinder. She loved having her ass eaten and sucked down my leche. None of the Colombianas wanted to drink load they wanted it on them. Also Venezuelans are a bit less (150 k).
Can't fucking wait to come back. My girls hit me up on what's app and luckily none have asked for money. Lololo.

You remember when we met there? It was the first 1/2 of May and the place was dead. I mean there was pussy but nothing like I saw in September and November. I am still considering my options for beginning of May. Its right after Semana Santa.
Sunday and Monday nights proved to be a bust, at the clock tower. Most chicas weren't actively responding to messages, either. Monday, I went back to the well, unintentionally. I arranged a 3 some with the 18 yo Venzuelan "Amber" and her older sister. She said they would work together, and charge 150 k each. They were to meet me at the apartment, and said they would walk. We were out getting food (maybe 5 p or so), and I told her they could come to the restaurant, and we would walk back together. She asked for the address, and said something about her phone service. I waited about 30+ minutes, then walked a couple blocks to the apartment, to see if there was a miscommunication. I returned to the original meeting spot, and waited another 20 minutes or so, and finally got some communication, saying she was leaving (again). It started raining, so she took a taxi. I waited another 30+ minutes in the lobby, and finally, she arrived. Solo. She said she couldn't get ahold of her sister via phone / messaging / etc. Quite a bust. I asked why she didn't tell me, but we all know how this story goes. Something about her eyes that made me forgive her. Another good GFE session, and then a nap. *I just remembered, my buddy went to Carbon de Palo for takeout one day, and loved it.
Our final day, Tuesday, I had arranged for Diana from Bogota to come over. I had originally tried to line her and a friend up for dinner on Monday, but she must have got booked. Anyhow, she came over solo, around 11 a. Very quickly and very prompt. She just ate breakfast and came over. At the same time, I was coordinating another gym session with the elusive Karolina. She agreed to 12:30 p, after apologizing for the lack of communication, and explaining she was with her family (I believe she previously said she was from Medellin and her sister lives in Mexico. The same sister who is constantly posting puta photos in Cartagena). The session with Diana was fantastic. She is smoking hot, and I gladly paid 200 k. TIGHT little body, great smile, and we had a blast. We were joking around, hanging out, and enjoying the time together. I filled her bolsa with regalitos, both practical and gift-oriented (shirt, candy, NOT the hat she constantly tried stealing, and then our entire fridge / kitchen that we would have thrown away upon departure). She was grateful for everything, and we had a good laugh about her pink backpack looking like an old WWII radio, with the butt-end of a giant lollipop sticking out. Karolina never showed to the gym, and when I asked her to come over so I could give her a little gift for her workouts, she said she wasn't a puta. I love the chase. We popped into the Tower Pub or Clock Pub, whatever it's called (we went there about 4 times, and I should know the name), for dinner and to watch the NCAAF game. There were two older negrita women at the bar, eye-fucking me, and I was genuinely tempted to see if I could pull off a double-BJ in the bathroom, as the 2nd floor was closed, already. They were not hot, but something about their young skin and attitude. The look in their eyes had me believing they could teach lessons to the 30 putas circling the torre.
All in all, 5 girls, 3 repeats, and several stories that will last in my mind for years to come. I really enjoy the routine in Cartagena, it just works for me: Gym, breakfast, beach / beers, chica, nap, dinner / centro / drinks, chica, repeat. Apologies for not doing a great job of providing info on my buddy's gal pals, but not really. Biggest regret is a missed connection at Bodytech. This girl was a stunner, and I blew it. She was video recording her every move, but I don't know where she's posting them, because it surely isn't tagged on Instagram at Bodytech, or elsewhere. Again, I love the chase.
In Medellin, now, and looking forward to a second-half rally! Enjoy Cartagena, and feel free to contact me with any questions. I'm no veteran, but I gathered some solid intel, and I can't thank everyone enough for the info that helped pave our path in CTG! I'll be bumping over to the MDE thread, now.
Cheers!

He probably made a mistake without realizing it. Don't sweat it.
Great report. Would love to know how new year's turns out.
I've barebacked a lot this year in Cartagena. I'd say 2 out of 3 chicas will do it. Especially if they like you. I've never known any of them to be on the pill unless you get them on it. Some of them will say they got an injection.
The day after pill is called Post Day in Colombia. I think it's about 25k. She can only take it once every few months. It can be taken 72 hours after the deed so technically you could fuck her raw for 3 days then have her take the pill. This is not medical advice. It's what the pharmacist in Cartagena told me. The pill isn't 100% effective. Are you going to knock up some chica? It may happen. You can expect one or two fake pregnancies for sure as a means to extort money from you. Then there's the risk of STDs, and some chicas will outright refuse. The ones who refuse may go around trash talking you to other chicas (although hilariously this appears to have the opposite effect). Bareback comes with a lot of risks.
That's one reason I steer clear of Bogota. Bareback was offered everywhere and I'm too weak to resist.[/QUOTE]LOL at least you're honest with yourself. Yes it is hard to resist the temptation!
Sho423, search for ProGold Fitness. Cr 4 between CL 6-7, I believe. 20 k.

I'm not sure what they cut it with, nothing expensive. I got confirmation from various girls and their guy friends that in fact it is laced, first bag I got smelled like gasoline. The high is different too. Very stuck feeling, zoned out. Big smoker in the states and wen you go to ctg and you see someone high they are almost always stuck and I immediately knew they had smoked. I mean it gets the job done but I just really didn't like how it smelled and smoked, got good stuff out there too but it took forever to find.
[QUOTE=Artisttyp;2122951]What do you think it was laced with? People always argue that lacing weed would be expensive and a waste of resources to the person selling it. I think there are many cheap ways of doing it. After all it doesn't have to be a safe method, anything that alters your sense of being works. I have been researching Naples, Italy and one respected website says they cut the weed with medicines and barbiturates.
With the level of high THC in good weed these days the room for competition is fierce. It worries me that dealers will try to increase your buzz by competing with high quality weed. It is nothing less than cutting coke or heroin with dangerous fillers.[/QUOTE]
Is the best way to find hot, non-pro girls to use Tinder?
Honestly, I am the only one in my social circle that "mongers" so I don't have any friends to go on all-out sex trips with, so if anyone of you guys are going to be in Colombia in February, I'm totally down to meet up, buy us a couple beers, and have a wild ass time!

I have been buying for years in Colombia and never had a problem.
Also, I am a regular smoker in the USA and when I go to Colombia, the high is always good. The weed is different because they grow it outside as opposed to a greenhouse.
My opinion is to stop buying garbage from hoodrats.
Arrived in Cartagena today. Weather is great. Most Venezuelan girls I met on last visit went home for holidays, mostly Colombians in clocktower area. Got matched with dozen girls on tinder but haven't meet with any yet.
I will be here one week if anyone would like to meet message me.

Those are awesome posts man! Really informative and really get me fired up to take another trip down to CTG.
I wanted to ask you about the Cialis. Did it make you feel flush or hot in the face? That's what I hate about Viagra so the pharmacist recommended Cialis. But then I read some reviews of people saying they felt flush with Cialis as well. What's your take?
Thanks.
Mike.
[QUOTE=FastAndFun;2113422]OK guys.
I just got back from 10 days in Cartagena. I wanted to give the rundown of my trip.
First of all, I want to thank our fellow posters on this forum, Samcik, El Mechanico, YippieKayay, Hilltoper and Blackpage. Also, any other posters who have given out some solid advice. I was lurking on this site for quite some time and I gained a lot of information. Hopefully, I can repay the favor in kind.
As I have been to every city in Colombia, I decided to have my first extended stay in CTG. It was well worth it. The weather was extremely hot and humid. Even at 3 am, I was dripping with sweat. So if you are going, bring deodorant.
I stayed in Laguito at Juan's apartment. I would never stay in BocaGrande or Hollywood if you paid me. This place is quiet and they treated me like a king.
My flight was very easy, and I landed at 11:50 am. The airport was empty and I was through customs in 10 minutes. My cab driver tried to sell me coke and hookers the whole ride, but I already had my own game plan. When I waled in the door, I met one of the doormen. His name was Jose and I immediately gave him 40,000 pesos. He smiled and said thank you and was genuinely grateful. The other doorman is also named Jose and I gave him 40,000 pesos when I saw him as well. Both are super nice guys and only speak Spanish. Thankfully I am semi. Fluent. Tipping these guys was great because when a woman came to my building, they would just call me up and ask if they should let them up..[/QUOTE]
Fellas, PLEASE help!
I'm currently in an "exclusive" relationship in the states. I'm used to freely moving around and I'm trying to find a way to visit CTG, but pretend I went to an island or something.

It depends on what plan you are using.
In my case I use the countries Provider that I am in; Movistar in my case, and call the US by adding the US country code to the number.
Or If you use WhatsApp it may not give away the country you are in.

Gents,

I do fine here but hate the rat race. I have been looking into work from home gigs but nothing really meets my lifestyle needs.
This is s total Hail Mary but does anyone know of any work remotely ops or business opportunities that would enable me to enjoy life in the CTG? I have very limited Spanish skills but a work remotely gig could still work.

There are people who go down, start a blog, do things like day trade and sell merchandise online. I can't imagine doing crap like that to get by. I've seen at least one guy try to run an unsuccessful 'Move to Medellin' service before he decided to call it quits and move elsewhere. Some people have gone and invested in real estate. You could try that. Keep in mind CTG is tropical and many buildings end up with roach infestations.
This isn't really the forum for it so google elsewhere and see what other people have done.
I have a couple of lawyer friends down there. Running a business down there will require business relationships, a good understanding of how things get done in Colombia, and Spanish. Or you'll just be taken for a ride and go back home broke. I was looking at buying property in the Sierra Nevadas (chocolate farms) and I got quoted ridiculous prices. One of the lawyers inquired for me and was quoted much less. Just keep that in mind. Extranjero is an easy target.
Good luck.
Hey,
Going back in April, I know Morro city is out of the question for me since security got tighter and are really enforcing the no visitor rule. I hear the palmetto eliptic allows guest / girls up for maximum 20 k fee. A girl that works out in CTG has assumed me. I was thinking of getting a colonial house with pool in centro. I'm traveling with 2-4 buddies. Anyone have any other suggestions? Other buildings in Bocagrande / laguito that allow girls up? Even for a fee? I've heard some buildings will allow visits for a 10-30 k fee. I heard maybe the Poseidon buildings allows this? What about H2? Anyone stay there? I've heard good things but not sure about guest policy.
Los Morros (sector) - anyone stayed in this area? I read that it's quiet and a Little desolate with a dangerous feeling at night? Looking for a nice house or apartment with everything and allows visitors.
[QUOTE=FastAndFun;2113422]OK guys.
I just got back from 10 days in Cartagena. I wanted to give the rundown of my trip.
First of all, I want to thank our fellow posters on this forum, Samcik, El Mechanico, YippieKayay, Hilltoper and Blackpage. Also, any other posters who have given out some solid advice. I was lurking on this site for quite some time and I gained a lot of information. Hopefully, I can repay the favor in kind.
As I have been to every city in Colombia, I decided to have my first extended stay in CTG. It was well worth it. The weather was extremely hot and humid. Even at 3 am, I was dripping with sweat. So if you are going, bring deodorant.
I stayed in Laguito at Juan's apartment. I would never stay in BocaGrande or Hollywood if you paid me. This place is quiet and they treated me like a king..[/QUOTE]Thanks for the details. I am new to the site and will be traveling to Cartagena Feb 2-4 and have been in the info gathering phase. I keep coming across the name "Juan" as a good place to stay; where can I find more info on this?
I have already booked a room at the Intercontinental so it seems like my game plan will consist of going to Pley Club, Tinder and Dolce Vita but then I will probably need to find a temporary place since the Hotel will charge $75 USD to bring a "visitor."
[QUOTE=Oldschool318;2128783]Gents,
I am back in the good ol USA and miserable. I plan to come back but I am craving a different life. Preferably one spent in Cartagena.
I do fine here but hate the rat race. I have been looking into work from home gigs but nothing really meets my lifestyle needs.
This is s total Hail Mary but does anyone know of any work remotely ops or business opportunities that would enable me to enjoy life in the CTG? I have very limited Spanish skills but a work remotely gig could still work.
Sorry to be off topic but this is tugging at my soul.[/QUOTE]Looking to move to Colombia and haven't been bothered to learn the language? You should start there.
In contrast to him I have learned Spanish and I am speaking it quite well. So when you have a job for me in Cartagena, you can offer it to me. Hihihi, I am prepared.
I'm planning a trip from 2/2- 3/7 2018. Can someone recommend a reliable escort service (or is Tinder the way to go nowadays?) that I can contact ahead of time. Ideally, I'd like to have the girl come to my apartment each day around noon for 3 or 4 days in the middle of my stay. I've arranged for an Airbnb in El Laguito. They're asking for the name (s) of who will be registering with me. Unfortunately, I don't have time to monger like I used to so I need someone there in a most timely manner. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I booked an Airbnb in Laguito near the Hilton from 2/27 to 3/7. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to monger like I once did. Should I set something up beforehand (or is Tinder the way to go nowadays? The AirBnB apt. Is asking for name (s) of who will be staying. Ideally, I have a girl come to my Airbnb for an hour at noon each day for 2-3 days in a row in the middle of my stay. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Wednesday night in Cartagena I visited 3 places and noticed 3 distinct styles. I found "The Waltz" in La Dolce Vita. It was surprising busy tonight (both men and women in equal proportions). The attitude overall was kind of quiet and refined even though semi-loud dance music was playing. You walk in and you get starred at by most of the women you walk by. But they are sober smiles and glances. Most women are dressed quite well and the ages appear 24-34 (average). You sit, you buy a drink and watch the dancing. The action is very slow. Occasionally men go to women or women go to men but it is all a slow moving, laborious type of dance. Many people are just hanging out with their guy or girlfriends and drinking quietly. Few people really seem to be having fun and the wait staff seem quite serious (almost nervous). Drinks are expensive and I think this dampens the fun level. I watch a lot of guys come in, stay for maybe 1 drink and head out. I saw women from 5's to 9's. Majority I would rate around 7 to 7. 5 (on a scale of 1 – 10).
The Tango: Around 2:30 am I went into Electra. It has a narrow very dark hallway leading left for 30 feet and then you open the door to eardrum-pounding dance music. Turn off your hearing aids if you got them. The energy in this place is completely different. I do a figure loop around the club and circle through both halves of the place. I find a 70%-30% girl to guy ratio (looks are 5-9 on 1-10 scale). As I pass by and check out the women, nearly all of them are looking back at me, checking me out and most often I get a warm, well-lubricated smile back at me. Often they appear eager to talk, dance and reach out their arms or hands to signal welcome. Several say "Hola baby" and brush a hand against me (or try). The most striking difference is nearly everyone is having fun and is well-lubricated or on their way to being well-lubricated. The bartenders are generally dancing when not helping a customer. Some couples are making out and it lacks the stiffness I found in La Dolce Vita. On one side people are smoking because the roof if open. I loved the vibration and the energy. I didn't like the deafening music but I learned to live with it. The overall ages seemed younger maybe 20/21 – 30 on average. Drinks are cheaper, people are drinking more, women are openly approaching guys. I haven't seen so many "drunk smiles" for a long time. The kind when you know you are very likely to "get lucky" even in a normal bar. It did a lot for my confidence to be on the other end of those eager smiles. Maybe the late hour and the "last chance" of Electra makes the smiles a bit more desperate and earnest, but hey. I enjoyed them all the same. After being there for an hour or so I found myself loosening up and getting more in the party mode than in my normal "hunter mode. " I had my eye fixed on one petite and young looking chica with olive skin and these wonderful tight curls down a few inches below her shoulders. This happened to be the one shy girl in the place. I talked to her some and she perhaps was not in the game or very new to it. I decided to let her be as she had no interest or seemed to be uncomfortable talking to me. One other downside here is you might find an unwanted chica, giving you the "come hither" eyes and smiling and nearly stalking you. I had one such woman who never seemed to get the clue I had zero interest in her. She kept dancing next to the girl I was watching and I think she believed me to be watching her.
The Chess Game: Earlier in the night I walked around the main plaza of Torre Reloj. To me it was like a chess game. I stand here for a while, I go over there and sit on a bench. I watch the action, then get up and use the bathroom. Later maybe get something to drink, walk around the block and return. The other players of the game seem to be doing much the same. This night was relatively quiet compared to my pre-Christmas visit (although this is supposed to be the high season). Less tourists in the plaza as well. The players on this chess game don't seem to be having fun either. They are standing / waiting, to make their move and capture a piece from the game board. Overall the plaza quality varies greatly from low-end to high-end. The clubs tend to have more intermediate and high-end chicas (based on clothing and looks). When I'm home in the States I think "I wish I could be at the Torre Reloj tonight and select some young chica from the square. " When I'm here in Cartagena at the clock tower I think "I couldn't wait to be here and now that I'm here it is not as good as I expected. 90-95% of the chicas are not for me. I don't like standing around, don't want to sit down and have touts or ugly chicas start conversations with me" Funny how the grass is greener on the other side. Yet, I do want to be here. I love the hunt. I love the anticipation of what might be found in the next minute and the possibility I could encounter a special angel who makes it all worth while. Sometimes I feel like I'm sitting in a duck blind, gun loaded, decoys set. Sitting. Waiting. And waiting. And then there flies by something that grabs my attention. I aim, shoot and hope to bring home a trophy.
Tinder got me some matches but that has yielded no action so far. I find some women use Tinder as an advertising page. They list themselves as escort, masajista or dama de compania and provide their WhatsApp number right there. I suspect they don't bother matching back because they think you already have their number and can call if interested. I started taking down some numbers before I select them (after, you can't recall their info unless they match you). Also did my first ever Tinder "Boost" which basically puts you at the top of other peoples search queues for some period of time.
Happy Hunting.

Certain places, especially La Dulce Vida, allow hookers to hang out in them. I've seen normal couples walk in and then very quickly walk out.
But yeah its 100% hookers as far as I know. Staff have always been friendly to me.

[/QUOTE]Most of them at that hour are coked out of their minds. Many hookers stop working before 2 am and leave, or wait around the plaza a bit more before going home.

[/QUOTE]Are you being sarcastic? You're supposed to approach the hooker. Usually in Colombia they are timid and wait for you to make the first move.
Hookers in Cartagena, at night, will start in the Plaza and then make their way to whichever club they ply their trade from. Both Elektra and La Dulca Vida are known hooker bars.
Yippie. Relax. These are all obviously places with working girls. I'm saying guys hanging out with their guy friends as they drink and girls hanging with their girl friends.
First all of thanks everyone for the tips and reviews provided!
I will be staying in Bocagrande. Is bocagrande safe to walk around?
Also nobody has mentiones the islands. I would liek to check isal baru out. Are there any girls there or do I need to bring my own?
I would like to go on a yatch party. Where can I find these things or events going on. Thanks in advance.

[/QUOTE]Yes. Bocagrande and the old city (centro) are safe. Just do not leave the old city walls at night and you'll be fine.

Not typically a great idea, unless you know the chica quite well from previous encounters, etc. I guess you could add a name just so they know there will be a second person, but you'll need to deal with changing the name or convincing the portero to let that one visit even though her name doesn't match.
If all else fails, there are a few good love motels where you can session without hassle. You can find motel info from WorldTravel's list in the Cartagena Lists thread. The ones out toward the airport have always worked out well for me. Gated security, drive-in with taxi, discrete pull-into garage, get out and go upstairs to a fully-equipped room, often with ceiling mirrors, love chair, etc. Generally a reasonable fee for a 2-hour time period.
Add Edit: I just read elsewhere that you are staying in the Atlantis building. I've never stayed there, but Otiers is correct in saying that a well-known hooker and her "girls" have lived there for years. I haven't been in Cartagena as much the past couple of years, so I don't know whether Claudia is still there, but it wouldn't surprise me if she was, nor that there were 3-4 staying there in the apartment with her. With your staying in the Atlantis building, you may just be in luck.
Week in Cartagena:
50-100 women inside the clock tower square. 200 K asking short time in love motels 30 K. Many will go to LDV and after 2 AM to Electra club. Was glad to see such variety and abundance compared to 6-7 years ago when I went last time.
Stayed at Hotel Estelar in Bocagrande. About 150 bucks a night, great hotel, great views, no issues bringing girls back if you book a room for two (and they register a girl and check her ID).

Some stupid Paisa is trying to convince me to go to Medellin. Fuck that noise. I want to James Fucking Bond it again. January is the busiest month in Cartagena and I still think it's not worth going then because demand is high. Best to head mid to late February.
Hey all,
Heading to Cartagena in a couple of weeks. Seems LDV is a must at least once, but I'm still not clear on where it is located. I was under the understanding it was located in el Laguito (by the Hilton, Hotel Caribe, etc.) but I read somewhere else that it has moved. Anyone that been there recently can confirm the location?
Also, I have not seen many mention Pley Club recently; is it still a good place to visit as an alternative to the street game?
It is in the List Thread.

[QUOTE=LeoAiolia;2132199]

For Pley Club take my advice and don't go. It's outside of the old city and in Cartagena itself. There's more than enough pussy in the old city and Bocagrande. Zero reason to enter Cartagena unless you know what you're doing. And Pley Club isn't cheaper by any means. What locals do is agree to set up "security" for you to go to Pley Club or La Isla (not sure if its still around). You pay through the nose for the "security. " The short of it is, don't bother. Those same chicas working Pley Club can be gotten in Playa Hollywood when they come out during the day.
The funny thing is one chica I bang regularly totally bareback and raw always offers to take me to Pley Club with "security. " It always makes me LOL.
First time to Cartagena and I'm doing my research. Normally the clock tower would be my first and only stop. I don't like the expensive clubs never have but after my many trips to Sao Paulo I am now into upscale brothels were you are given a choice of several girls and the rooms have a shower and bed. Can any member recommend a place like this near the city center. PM me if you like.
Thanks.
