Cartagena Reports

[YippieKayay]

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.

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.

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.

I'm not an expert. I have just finished making my arrangements for my first trip in Nov.

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.

Yes it is a serious question.

A previous report indicated it was dead from Christmas to mid January.

YMMV. I had an awesome time!

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.

The guy picked me up at the airport, drove me around Cartagena for a minimum of 1-2 hours to get my errands done, then we drove to el bosque which depending on traffic can take 30 plus minutes. 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.

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.

From Cartagena, there are direct flights to Atlanta (Delta Air Lines) and Miami (Avianca) and Fort Lauderdale (Spirit and JetBlue).

Might be deader in Panama City because Venezuelans now require a visa starting October 1st. If you can come late January. Cartagena is still in high season then but not as crazy busy with families celebrating the holidays.

I think I'll try cartagena.

I will be going Panama in February plus I've been there 6 times already and I want to try something new.

Is it still best to rent a condo from Juan?

Cartagena in mid January will be all good. Still high season so don't expect the prices to be lower at all. You will have a great time in Cartagena.

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.

How is Cartagena during this time?

Where will there be more girls?

Thanks.

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.

Looks like someone decided to commericialize the sex industry in Cartagena and go full blown with marketing. I really hope there aren't any consequences. Just as the place is filling up with promising Venezuelans.

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.

Hi,
I am new to this part of the ISG. I have been focused on Europe until now.

Nice try to advertise.
