[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2309216]No I moved to Hotel Bolivar, about a 12 minute drive from the bar and street walkers area. And it is a hotel where you drive into and park in front of your room so it is very convenient but you need a car which I have.[/QUOTE]So are you saying I need a car to stay at that hotel. I checked out the web site; place looks nice.
And no problem bring girls in?

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]So if you not drive in, and say I / we take a taxi back, are not going to let the girl in? What's their policy? Joiner fee?
Cucuta is a "working class" town. Given its location next to the land border with Venezuela, Cucuta is a transit point for traders and small business owners.
If you want a decent Hotel at a reasonable price, then Hotel Casino Internacional (HCI) should be on your short list.
HCI is a good choice for the following reasons:
+Using Hotel Mary as a "reference" point, it is 1. 4 miles away. So it is a little closer than Hotel Bolivar (where The Tall Man is staying).
This means you will spend less on Taxi fare.
+There are plenty of eating and shopping options. And the best part is you can walk. No Taxi required.
Directly opposite HCI, there is a Centro Comercial called "Ventura Plaza".
In this Plaza, there is a Movie Theater (Cinemark) and Subway sandwich shop. Right next to the Plaza, there is a McDonalds. (this may clinch the deal for some folks!).
It almost feels like the McDonalds is part of the Plaza, but it is a separate structure.
Like to shop for fruits, drinks and groceries? Metro Cencosud is also in this Plaza.
+ HCI sells itself as a "Business Hotel with a Casino and a Pool" with a 4 Star rating. This means you:
(a) MUST be discreet and respectful to other guests.
(b) If you bring a chica whose boobs are falling out of her T-shirt, you should "cover" her BEFORE you enter the Hotel.
An oversized scarf works great. Just wrap around her neck, hold her hand and walk into the Hotel with confidence.
+ The per night rate for a room in HCI is around $47. Hotel Mary charges between $22 and $25 per night.
I have not stayed at Hotel Mary, but compared to HCI, Mary appears to be a dump. If you can afford to spend a little more, there are better Hotel options in Cucuta.

Thanks for info, oh and in that area is their working girls around? You sound like ya been, what did you do at night just take taxi to hotel Mary, and walk to bars from their? HCI have full casino (table games or just slots, how long has it been since you been their? You same experience (all good) like the tall man.
[QUOTE=MrPutiadero;2307315] The Cucuta is located about 7 miles from San Antonio del Tachira, the border town at the Venezuelan frontier. I have visited this town because I was curious about the mass exodus of people fleeing from Venezuela. Near the immigration and the crossing bridge to Venezuela I saw that the place was chaotic with unorganized flee market vendors, long line of taxis, all types of people walking with their luggage and many young men with hand trucks eager to help the traveler with their luggage. There were hundreds or thousands of people waking and hustling in the dust that I literally could not walked comfortably without bumping on them.[/QUOTE]Are you talking about border town Villa del Rosario, La Parada off of highway 70?

[QUOTE=LoveItHere69;2308746]You found her on the street but used her Photoprepagos picture?[/QUOTE]I'm planning a trip to Medellin and Cucuta was starting to sound like a good stop as well but now you got me thinking. First, I have questions of my own.
The may be a plausible answer to your question. Just wonder why the original poster didn't respond, now I'm taking his info with a little more than a grain of salt.
No one else seems to question that pic. Again, just wonder why.
Where exactly is that pic on Pregagos. I couldn't find it.
I think I 'll pass on Cucuta until more reliable info from other posters comes in.
Photo gone. Pretty sure it was not there last week. Was there when I matched her picture to the posting here. Now gone. Searched filter age 18 she posted, searched filter 90,000 price she posted, searched ALL. Nothing.

OK, who is provided the truth on the fucking Cucuta info? I have no time for bullshit post! I will be there in August for 4 nights.
My trip reports are solid, and I expect the same.
Besides Hotel Maria, are there any chica friendly hotels?
Please help!
[QUOTE=Coupe66;2307894]One thing I wonder about. On my recent trip to Colombia, the better sessions I had were with Venezuelans, in clubs, online, plus with a gorgeous street walker.[/QUOTE]I experienced two Venezolanas on my last trip to Bogota last Labor Day weekend. Both were ruthless in their quest for more money than the agreed price and were below the standards of their Colombian counterparts in terms of attitude and service. This might reflect the bad situation they recently escaped from. Obviously they were attractive, which is why I chose them. But so were their Colombian counterparts. In both cases, I was in a casa and saw better looking girls become available after I chose them. I didn't know their nationality until after the fact. Looks wise, nothing distinguishes them as special when compared to the Colombianas. They are not a different ethnic group. Let's put these myths to rest, which originate with the beauty queen industry of Venezuela and gets perpetuated in forums like these. If and when I return to Colombia, I will probably make an effort to avoid the Venezolanas.

I was with 8 Venezuelan chicas in Colombia, and 7 provided a great service! Can you speak Spanish, maybe not. Are you judging the behaviour / performance of all Venezuelan chicas on the 2 you had in a Bogota club, that would be ridiculous! Plus, chicas in Bogota clubs are known to be pretty hardcore in general, and moreso if they were clubs in Santa Fe.
Poverty is a great motivating factor for working harder in general, same goes for this business, and for the moment Venezuelans are much poorer than Colombians!
By the way, I never said anything about Venezuelans being better looking than Colombians, I also saw a lot of great looking Colombian women on my trip !

Or he met her outside and she's also on Prepagados (pretty unlikely I know!).Or something else? Either way, it would clear up a lot of he would clarify things!

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]Hey Tall Man,
I have really enjoyed your reports! The chances are slim to none that I will be travelling in that part of the world as I like Asian style. But, your adventures are fun to read and informative. Continue to keep us posted.

Website.
This is NOT unlikely at all, I know a number of working girls here in Medellin who advertise on prepagados website then I see them at Plaza Botero or Majorista or walking the parks, believe it or not this is reality and can't blame them as they are marketing their services, jajajaja.
