I have had buddies stay at the Botero with no spanish skills, should be doable. If you do stay there make sure you read my complete guide to the Botero in post #925 in the Medellin Hotel thread: http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...artments/page5.
You want as high a floor as possible so the street noise is less notable, and the west side (opposite entrance) which is cooler in the morning. A ISG member has been staying there since last year, might still be there, he can show you the ropes. (PM for some more info on that).

Posts: 34Cell Phones and SIM cards.
Been seeing a number of posts about this, and I figure I'd share my experience.
I knew nothing about the rules / laws here when I purchased a SIM card at Claro in Laureles (next to the Exito / mall) three months ago. I was paying so little attention to the process that I can't remember for sure, but they must've registered it correctly using my passport and whatever else they needed. I've had no problems adding credit since that point.
On the other hand, my wife went to Tigo and she's gone through Dante's Inferno trying to get it sorted. Her phone was locked, and ultimately she had to plead with and badger the guy at Tigo who sold her the SIM card to meet her at a government office etc etc etc. It took three appointments and two weeks to fix the issue.
Small sampling size so I wouldn't necessarily claim that Claro is better than Tigo. But if you're coming here and planning to stay or return, make sure it gets done right the first time.

My budget is only for food and drinks, doesn't include price for lodging. The reason I am mulling a side trip to Bogota is because some trip reports indicate without facebook, SA and CC, there may not be much success for a newbie without Spanish skills in the bars or casas in el centro.
Perhaps I might have better luck in Santa Fe.
Also, when they say 30 minutes, does it mean strict 30 minutes even if one has not finished the deed?
In most places (read Tijuana, Pattaya) 30 minutes gives you a complete ride and sometimes the ride may take 40 minutes or 20 minutes depending on several circumstances and camaraderie with the lady in question.
Of the 10 days, I am planning to do 2-3 days of M1 and 3 days of some place in Poblado and the last 3 days in Hotel Botero in Centro, primarily because that is where the action is and I do not to do too many taxis or uber because of the inability to converse with the drivers in Spanish.
Is Botero a strictly no go for a newbie or Spanish virgin?
Are there any other alternatives?

Given your budget, it's probably not worth a side trip to Bogota.
Now here's the problem I see. Planning 1 hour sessions with casa, strip club and street girls is really not the best bang for your buck. These girls are mostly used to 15 to 30 minute quickies. They aren't always going to give you much after the first 30 minutes. You'll end up paying for 20 or 30 minutes of girls just wasting time, almost every session. Mansion girls and Facebook girls are used to keeping guys entertained for an hour or more.
For every problem, there's a solution. During your time at M1 get every WhatsApp number you can. Get in a daytime 30 minute session at a casa or with a street girl, and get numbers from the best ones. Then use those numbers to get someone to your hotel at night.

If you want to really enjoy the women with her company and some interaction, invest some money and time on SA, CC and facebook. There are some English speaking girls on these sites.

Posts: 465Yes on the second floor. There are spots to sit down around that area but not Valdez coffee stand. It is a small airport, I don't see the big deal here. You should be able to see each other quickly.

It works just fine in my iPhone, and yes it is only data. New countries are added all the time, and I assure you Colombia is on the list as this is the exact card I'm using. It has also worked fine in Hong Kong, USA, Canada, and Panama. The link you gave is the one month version of the same product, which I'm sure works fine, but the 12-month version is like having an unlimited world SIM in your pocket for a year. One year 12 GB is $50 data only. Your link, 30 days 12 GB is $30. If you need that much data per month then the $30 is cheaper. If you use about 1 GB / week traveling like I do, then the one year is awesome. I keep a backup handy too, never know when a Europe trip is going to pop up, and $3/ GB is cheaper than just about any local SIM I've ever used.
It also receives SMS's as I've used the number to activate various services that require a number.

Posts: 216Newbie trip planning.
Hello Seniors,
This is my first time posting here at ISG. A should out to all the contributors and excellent reports by so many guys. An Indian guy living for the past decade in the states and planning a trip to Colombia for the first time. Previous mongering experiences include Philippines, Thailand, Tijuana multiple times. Never been to DR or any Latin American destinations.
My trip is coming up in 3 weeks:
My budget is usd1500 for 10 day trip for food and girls. I plan on about 2 one hour sessions per day. Is this reasonable expectations. I am only seeking strip clubs, casas, massage and street girls. If I have difficulty scoring, I may go with prepagos internet.
Since this is my first trip should I make a pit stop for a few days in Bogota? Routard trip report is too irresistible and makes it seem doable for a newbie like me.
I plan to stay in M1 for the first 2 nights and then pick one of the suggested hotels in the lists in El Centro for 7-8 days. Nada Spanish Zilch. The difficulties I would face picking up girls, speaking with uber or exchanging money or ordering food through domicilios or any of the normal things we do in day to day activities are things that I am prepared to face but. Would these be so great that I may not be able enjoy the trip?
