That's not much different from my point. If a girl has a reason to believe she's more experienced than me, it is not a good situation for me. I wish to be in the opposite situation (although getting more and even more hard or impossible to find in CTG).
I stand on my point: Whenever I hear "dollars" from a girl, I run away.

I have talked to so many normal chicks about things concerning money that I no longer think this is the case. For instance, if I ask them how much is their electric bill every month, they will tell me in dollars. I say but it is Colombia, so why are you telling me in dollars? They will say because they think I do not understand pesos. So maybe there are so many tourists in those areas that did not understand pesos, that the hookers figured it was easier to tell them in dollars. I can just see a mf whipping out his calculator when a chick tells him 150 pesos, as I have seen my friends do in every other country when making purchases.

If the quote or even mention dollars, counter with the same in pesos. Say something like "OK 200.000, listo, nos vamos" Maybe they come back "no pesos, dollares" then you say you don't have dollars, 250 pesos or nothing.

Or just walk away because talking USD and you will always lose. In my experience, that dynamic is much more common in CTG than anywhere else in the country. Of course owing to it being a tourist destination. It's incredibly rare to hear anyone give a price in BOG or MDE in USD.

On top of that the girl that I did smash last night was complaining about the price and I told her it was good money. She then pulls out here phone and shows me money transfers she's received from passport bros 2 of whom she's never MET! One works as a bus driver and the other in a warehouse. This woman is getting ran through all week and she's still receiving transfers from men she's never met.

How fucked up is that! Totally agree with you on every point.

Haven't been down to Cartagena yet but in Medellin, no female I had to negotiate with gave me a problem, one or two were chatty but I still payed below the US price.

I speak fluent Spanish not what I'm sure is your broken Spanish. I taught English in Colombia for three years. And trust me the prices that you think you're getting a good deal on are prices that would've been considered outrageously high just a few years ago. Just a few years ago 200 mil was the standard. Anybody who's been coming to the city for years knows that. You're probably paying 2 to 3 times that thinking that it's a good price and guess what's going to happen in a few years. Some clowns going to come along and think paying $200 is a good price. Hoeflation.

Hi guys,

Thinking about going to Cartagena around Christmas time 2025 and spending new year there. I now read some comments about CTg being more dangerous around that time. Is that true?

My friend and I are from Europe and our Spanish is really minimal and we never been to South America before. I try to gather as much information as possible, to be prepared.

With all the changes I'm hearing it's harder to find girls on the street but I am curious to know if the price drops due to them spending everything for the holidays.

Simple.

To be on the safe side assume that they may have got something and use protection.

She is a girl that he found on a site. We made a video together on YouTube. My homie Ryan keeps on trucking.

They had all the signs as victims, probably didn't speak Spanish, probably got a spot with no security or checkin ins and why is there 4 vs 2 ? Each time I hear these stories I always see the flaw in the exectution, it's hella sad really.

I came into Cartagena last week. Didn't have any pesos but took an Uber to Boca Grande where I had an Airbnb lined up near the beach. The exchange rate at the airport is a paltry 3800 something so I waited until I got to Boca Grande to withdraw money from an ATM which was downstairs. I checked with the owner prior to booking about "guests" had no problem with visitors as he was an American with a Colombian wife. My suggestion is to download WhatApp and meet ladies from the internet. I had no issues other than aggressive ladies offering massages on the beach. Avoid their "free masaje" you will end up in a nasty argument with them.

What a surprise. Passport Bros and weekend warriors have ruined the city. Everybody's talking about the drop in quality. What did you think was going to happen when you have a bunch of broke Passport Bros throwing money in the air, making Colombians look like poor beggars, going to the clubs smoking hookah, wearing stunners shades and bringing in gangster rap, Miami strip club culture, embarrassing the locals, and making a place that was supposed to look like, supposed to be good for vacation for families, a trash *****house. You all did this. You brought your strip club, I-want to-look-gangster-in-front-of-everybody culture, and the city shut it down.
