Bogota Reports

[Dvil00]

Hey mate. What would be your price range for these establishments? E. g. Pussy House, Lido, Atonis, SixtyNine?

I understand it varies by each person and the chica, hence the range.

I went to pussyhouse twice once on a Friday and once on a Tuesday.

The girls ask 250-300, it seems they try for 300 first, seems 250 is negotiable.

On the Saturday I had to buy a condom for 20 k from the room cleaner, the second time I asked about this in advance and they said it was all in rate. Gringo tax I guess.

Both times I had a great time, the Saturday girl is for sure in my top 5 of this year. Sadly forgot to get her number.

Beers were from 10 k, half bottle aguaro 110 k, full was 200 I think. Comes with a strip dance from the girl you drink it with.

Feibre and the club beside it cost 170 k for the girls.

Found the lineup there rather avarage but I don't like what Colombians like it seems. More into skinny petite gym girls with small waists. Most girls had a few kilos to much for me.

How's it going so far? Did Sante Fe get going later in the week?

Santa Fe was going a few minutes ago. It was pouring down raining and I could not get an Indrive to get there. I ended up walking with my umbrella. I am staying near that Ibis so imagine walking it pouring down raining. Luckily I was wearing nylon pants and closed hiking sandles. It did not look like it was going to stop then like as soon as I got there the rain stopped and the party came out.

The last time I was here was January and since then I have noticed that Indrive prices have doubled! Well I guess drivers have to make money too. I honestly do not know how they were surviving anyway with the old prices.

Hello all,

I arrived in Bogota last night and thought I would share my experience thus far. Lot of great info here that has helped me in the past so hoping to give a little back. I have been to Colombia 10 times since 2009, mainly to MDE. But I wanted to explore Bogota a little more. My Spanish is better than average and I can get around and communicate with the chicas in Spanish. I am spending 6 nights in BOG, then 6 nights in MDE, then the last 4 nights in BOG.

Hotel- Got a reservation at Hotel Ibis Museo, $50/ night including the breakfast add-on. Rooms are clean and nice enough, very small but that doesn't bother me. I love the location with plenty of restaurants and banks nearby, and of course the clubs in Santa Fe are a short ride away. Bed is comfortable and the breakfast was very good. Room has a safe but no fridge. Really glad I booked here. And like an idiot I left 200 k COP sitting on the desk when I left the room. The housekeeper cleaned the room and did not touch it. So that was nice. IBiS is a pretty big global hotel brand so it's a great hotel for the price I got. It is supposed to be chica friendly which I will explore during my trip.

Transportation- UBER has been a great option. I had the hotel pick me up from the airport as I wanted someone waiting in front with my name on the sign when I walked out. I used UBER to and from Santa Fe. Less than 8 k COP each way before tip. IBIs has cars out front but they are more expensive. I will use UBER to the airport. I think its about $10 usd.

Strip clubs- I hit the clubs on Carrera 16 a. Fiebre had 20+ girls, overall good quality and a few 8-9'S. I went there first and took Rosario up to one of the rooms for 170 k. She was really into it and looked like a hot librarian with her glasses. Fun to talk to and we had some laughs. Everything was covered which is fine with me. I hung out for a couple of hours after and had a few beers. I thought the prices were reasonable. 10 k for an Agila. Coronas for the chicas were 20 k. Will probably get a bottle of Aguardiente for the chicas tonight for 80 k. I hate that stuff but they love it. I ducked out of Fiebre a few times to check the other places on 16 a but they were pretty dead. Fiebre had the most girls and best quality. I had not previously spent much time in Santa Fe but last night it seemed safe on Carrera 16 a, with police and security present. I did not walk anywhere outside of CArrera 16 a. Going to walk around Santa Fe this afternoon.

Banks / ATMs- I changed $200 USD at the airport at 3900 k per USD. Was hoping to get much better rates near my hotel but have not seen that. Pulled 2 million COP from a Davivienda ATM at 3,937 per USD. Looks like a 7% markup from the published FX rate. I checked a few cambios near my hotel and the best rate was 4,000 per USD at Alliance Trade. It's been a few years since I have been to Colombia so I don't recall if there has always been the difference between published fx rate and the ATM rate. When I booked my IBIs reservation, the rate was 4,300 per USD on my credit card.

I will make some additional posts during the trip.

How's it going so far? Did Sante Fe get going later in the week? My last BOG trip met with a few ISGers in Ibis Museo before heading over to Santa Fe and was impressed. I like calling girls to my room though so small room might not be great.

I am wrapping up day 6 in Bogota. I'm heading to MDE in the morning for 6 days, then back in Bogota for 4 days before heading home.

Hotel- I have had a couple of strip club chicas visit my hotel during the day. The Hotel Ibis Museo is chica friendly. Security has let us walk to the elevators with no guest check in process. I actually prefer a required check in for safety, but had no issues with either chica. I like the location near Santa Fe but it's a long trip up to the norther part of the city. In future Bog trips I will probably divide the trip between Santa Fe area and northern Bogota.

Sante Fe strip clubs- Fiebre has consistently been the best on Carrera 16 a IMO. The other clubs have not had as many girls or the quality that Fiebre has had. I think I have Fiebre Fever! There was a Venezualan girl there every night that is one of the best looking women I have ever seen in a Colombian strip club.

Street girls- I have done the daytime Santa Fe stroll on several days. Definitely some cute ones to be had if you make a few loops. Did 3 sessions during the week, using the on-site rooms where the girls were. I felt safe in the day time, although I found that when I stopped to check street signs or pause, individuals would approach me. As long as I kept moving I was fine. Pharmacy prices for sildenfil / tadalafil were much lower in Santa Fe than near my hotel. Sometimes I used uber to / from and sometimes I walked to / from hotel. No issues there.

That photo is not Rosquillas. I've most to most cases in the area and I don't remember this one. Can you please post a maps location?

There are (at least) 2 Rosquillas venues in Chapinero.

I visited both Tuesday just gone.

Hi,

I'm going to Bogota for 3-4 months, could anyone advice me about a local health insurance company? Thanks.

Here are some major health insurers that operate in Bogotá, Colombia:

- AXA. Offers international medical coverage with various tiers of plans.

- Bupa Global. Known for comprehensive health insurance tailored for expats.

- Allianz Care. Provides a range of international health insurance options.

- Cigna. Offers global health plans with extensive coverage.

- VUMI. Specializes in international health insurance.

- Best Doctors. Focuses on providing access to top medical professionals.

- David Shield. Offers health insurance solutions for expats.

- GeoBlue. Provides international health insurance for travelers and expats.

Colombia's public health insurance system, EPS (Entidades Promotoras de Salud), is widely used and offers affordable coverage for residents.

”I think you made a few money changing mistakes. The best rate is almost always going to be at a bank's ATM. BUT. Never accept the offered bank conversion rate. Always decline it. Your bank is almost certain to give you a better rate; just as your credit card did. From the rate you got at Davivienda, it sounds like you accepted the offered conversion.

Thanks for the clarification. You are correct, I did make a mistake accepting the ATM rate. I use ATMs when in Colombia. I do bring some cash for emergency purposes and / or if I arrive late and don't want to venture out to an ATM at night. The airport had plenty of ATMs in the baggage claim area though. My last trip to Colombia was 2018, prior to the ATMs asking if you want the conversion rate, used to just get the COP at a good rate. I did not do enough research on this issue and thought I had to accept the rate to get the transaction to go through. Fortunately, the following morning I looked at the ATM topic here on ISG and figured it out. Went back to Davivienda and pulled 2 million COP, declined the offered rate, and got 4,282 COP per USD, excluding a 26 k COP transaction fee which Schwab will reimburse me for. The 4,282 COP is pretty close to the 4,300 published exchange rate. So I'm good the rest of the trip.

Your bank is almost certain to give you a better rate; just as your credit card did. From the rate you got at Davivienda, it sounds like you accepted the offered conversion.

The only time that using the ATM might possibly cost you more is if both your bank and the bank ATM you are using both charge you service fees for the transaction. MY US bank reimburses me for the service fees and doesn't charge one itself. Davivienda does not charge a service fee if you use their ATM.

The same goes when you use credit cards. Some places will ask if you want the charge in US dollars (if you are from the US) or in Pesos. Always say you want the charge in Pesos.

Unless you brought a lot of cash with you to exchange, you are better off with ATMs than any money changer in the country. And if you do use a money changer, you can bargain for a slightly better rate than they will give you otherwise if you have clean, crisp, reasonably new $100 bills.

I gave the fuck up.

[DonCarlos1234]

My friend has dated many of the La Celestina girls--he has a special relationship with the managment.

I live so close to Santa Fe and am a bit elderly so it's enough for me-.

Good Luck.

Spoken like a guy who gets more than he can handle and has done it for years. I get bored with 6,7,8's when I can afford better delivered to my room. Now that SA & FB are 50% pros. I figure why waste my time? But that's me. They have 200+ girls in Bog, Med and elsewhere. NOT an endorsement. There are other sites you can check out. No I am not going to tell you how to run your game. I am too old for that. El procuress LOL.

[MongerHunger]

Still worth checking out Rosquillas if I speak zero Spanish and go in with translator or just not bother and stick with escort sites? Would be nice to check out some brothels this time since I only stuck with La Calestina for my first trip a few months ago. But I'm going solo this time too so hoping can connect with a fellow local in the forum here to maybe hit up some brothels.

Check out Tantra in Chapinero also.
