I went to Santa Cruz for the first time for a business trip. I did not go hunting but did see something interesting.
Three old men at the hotel lounge with three hot women so I can only surmise that there is an active P4 P scene.
From what I could see of the city it is not a place I would visit for a vacation. By the way, it took 12 hours to get there from the USA East Coast. If I were to spend that much travel time I would be heading for Frankfurt FKK's, Philippines or Thailand.
I can not give you permission to use the Map, because.
For some reason Google says you do not have a GMail account.
It is the same for the Medellin Map.
Why Bolivia? I've never been and I always wanted to visit the country. Why Santa Cruz? I would not survive in the highest capital in the world, La Paz! Plus, I was going to Asuncion, Paraguay, and I figured I would just hop over to Bolivia. Thus, it was a double county romp in the making.
First and foremost, I want to thank World Travel 69 for his excellent map. There was very little information that I found, but his map was golden!
Logistics:
Flight:
I flew Amaszonas airlines out of Asuncion to Santa Cruz and back for $320.
The Visa on Arrival:
A passport is required to enter Bolivia. USA Citizens arriving by air may obtain a "visa en arribo" (visa on arrival) at the airport (VVI) in Santa Cruz. This is a multiple entry visa valid for 10 years and costs $160, payable in USA Currency (credit cards are not accepted).
*IMPORTANT: US Dollar notes must be in perfect condition. Old, torn, or marked notes will not be accepted by officials (I used new unmarked 20 dollar notes).
US Citizens Must Present:
6 month validity remaining on passport.
2 copies of passport information page.
2 passport photos (No longer needed)
Evidence of a hotel reservation (OR Airbnb reservation).
Detailed printed itinerary of your time in Bolivia (For this, I just printed out places I wanted to see and places where I wanted to eat from Trip Advisor, and yes, they did ask for the document).
Exit ticket out of Bolivia.
Proof of economic solvency (credit card, cash, or a current bank statement) - They did not ask me to show proof.
Immigration did not seem very happy when I arrived. The first question: Why are you here? Well, I wanted to reply, "I'm here to fuck some of your putas! Where should I go first? Do you have any hot sisters, cousins, or nieces?" BUT, I knew better! I replied, "I've never been to your country and I'm only a simple tourist. ".
Logging:
I rented a plush two bedroom / two bathroom apartment on Airbnb for $80 per night. The place had 24 hour security and my host was great.
Money:
The rate I received at the bank was 6. 85 Boliviano to 1 USD. The bank did ask to see my passport and wanted an address and phone number where I was staying in Santa Cruz.
Getting around town:
Getting from the airport, I paid less than 3 bucks to the apartment. The exchange rate at the airport was the same rate at the bank. Returning to the airport, the driver wanted twice the rate; pinche bastardo!
I took taxis everywhere. None of them were metered, so I always asked how much they would charge me before I got into the cab. They were all pretty honest and the taxis were dirt cheap, 2 to 5 bucks pretty much anywhere in town.
Language:
Very few people, taxi drivers, and restaurant workers knew how to speak anything but Spanish. I struggled at times, but that was part of the fun of exploring a different country.
Communication:
I have the T-Mobile North American plan. My plan gave me unlimited data at 2 G speed, calls at 20 cents per minute and free texts. Thus, I started using WhatsApp on my regular phone. I started chatting with my apartment host before I left. As long as I had a WiFi signal, WhatsApp was free of charge. I was chatting on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Skype; including video calls for no charge whatsoever.
Where I ate in Santa Cruz:
La Casa del Camba (twice): Excellent local dishes!
El Alijibe Combia tipica: Good, but the one above was better IMHO.
Republica: Skip the place, average food to say the least.
Overall thoughts on food: I only ate in three restaurants and thought only one was outstanding for the traditional food; La Casa del Camba.
The Venues:
With the help of World Travel 69's map, I was off and running the first night. The map had strip clubs and smaller clubs, kind of like casas. I mixed them both every night and tried to get as much information to update the map. But, there were so many, I may have gotten more than half way through the places listed.
I was determined to gather as much information as possible. In each bar / club / venue, I asked several questions and did my best to write the answers on my trusty note pad. As each night went on, the more I drank. Thus, if I am wrong with any of my notes, feel free to correct me. All of the prices are in Bolivianos, some in USD. I'm now drinking vodka and soda water when I travel. The fichas were various prices, I am quoting the lowest ficha price.

Overall thoughts on Santa Cruz:
I had a great stay in Santa Cruz. I enjoyed what the city had to offer. The city was very tranquil, the women were hot, and the people were very friendly. And the regional food was pretty damn good. I also like the fact that I HAD to speak Spanish to communicate with the locals / chicas.
I had a great time exploring and documenting stuff for our community; no regrets whatsoever!
Would I ever return to Santa Cruz? Nah, too far of a trip and my immigration friends didn't seem to care for me.
As always, just my dos pinche pesos of course!

Cruz de la Sierra ten years' ago (because it was the cheapest Bolivian city to get to) the business model in their club-type places (like zona roja in Bogota) was on site, where prying them out to your hotel room was not what they wanted to do. Interestingly, the guys working in the hotels were always asking me if I wanted chicas, and whenever I said of course, what showed up at the room was the same girls from the casas and clubs (delivered to spec)! Overall, Sta Cruz, an entirely provincial city with very little to nothing on offer once you're past the novelty aspect.
To each his own but since both Argentina and Uruguay have seen the error of their ways and have rescinded all entry / reciprocity fees I'll be damned if I'm going to pay this third world country $ 160 USD for the privilege of spending USA One to two thousand in their country for the week. I think they are losing more than me but again to each his own. No hate here and am grateful for all the excellent info provided.

When I went to Argentina for the first time, I had to pay for the visa. I paid for the one in Brazil because I love the women and food.
I have a personal goal of visiting every country in South America, Spanish speaking or not. I gather all the information I can to help others in our wicked community.
Thank you for the feedback.

I took a Brazilian out of Curry's and a Paraguyan out of Caesar's and they blew my mind. I wish I would have seen you request and told you about Los Hierros, best steakhouse I have ever been to. The steaks are great, and their Waldorf salad would have blown your mind. Don't ask me why.
I went to La Paz and Cochabamba. You didn't miss much women wise. There were mostly Incan women, nice but not as attractive as the women of European descent in Santa Cruz IMO. I think Paraguay is the best value in SA, and Brazil has the best women. I have done most of SA as you have. Chile and Ecuador are all I have left outside of Guyana and Suriname, and I have no desire to go there.

I'm based in Medellin but I'll be in Santa Cruz next month for business. Going to use this report as a guide to add pleasure to the itinerary.
I'm in town for a few days, visiting from Medellin.
I checked out a couple of places last night (Monday), both on the map. The first was Kaprichoos Club, but it was closed. The signage was there, and it didn't look completely abandoned, so I'm not sure if it's permanently defunct or what exactly.
The second was Cafe Show Strip Club nearby. There was no cover, drinks started at 40 be and girlie drinks were 70 B. Got to say, I was impressed by the lineup. There were chicas there from Brazil, Cuba, Paraguay, Chile, and maybe even Bolivia, haha. Wasn't expecting this at all, and the talent level was pretty high. The Chilean I spoke with quoted me US $100, but then said she'd come to my hotel during the afternoon today for 300 be. Seems like a no-brainer, they must take a hefty cut at the club.
My friend joined me in Santa Cruz and we hit up a few places yesterday (Tuesday).
After going to Guembe (a worthwhile destination), we tried two casas near the Ventura Mall. We did not find Club Privado. Exotico. But this part of town they seem to be really hidden, so we could've just missed it. Across where it was supposed to be we did find Club Privado. Hot Night. The girl running the place looked absolutely shocked to see us. After 30 minutes, she managed to get us drinks and put music on the sound system. Another 20 minutes and two unattractive girls kind of presented themselves by standing in the doorway for about 5 seconds and then leaving. We finished our drinks and then left. This was about 5 pm.
In the evening, we first went to Luxos, which we found via a first-rate business card in our hotel. I also read TomJackin's sold report below. I don't doubt that the girls were quality when he was there, but we were disappointed. The place it too dark and too loud. Of the 8 or so girls we saw, half were straight-up 2's or 3's. Maybe some were 5's, and maybe things spice up later in the night and on the weekends, but we got the hell out of there. I noticed that Luxos has an ad in the Amazonas in-flight magazine on the way to La Paz today. Very strange.
We went to Anaconda's on the other side of town next. This place is not for the faint of heart; extremely local and cheap and just plain cheesy. They have crazy decor and a smoke machine spewing out awful-smelling smoke and a DJ playing stupid sound effects constantly. There were maybe 10 girls, all local and young, and two were attractive and I probably would've sessioned with. But we got the distinct vibe we were not wanted; it was like we wandered into a private party. So fuck that, we left. Worth the visit for the strangeness factor alone, though.
Lastly, we walked to Cafe Show Strip Club, where I had good luck the night before. The quality here again was solid. Things start to get going at midnight. It seems like the chicas here prefer to session outside the club rather than inside. I had two give me their numbers for my return trip to Santa Cruz next week.
1) Kaprichoos Club is in fact open, and it was decent when we went last week. Just stopped in for a drink and didn't session, because it was too early in the evening, and it wasn't going on yet. But lots a nice-looking chicas sitting around. (Must just be closed on Mondays?
2) We never saw any SWs our entire time in Santa Cruz. Or La Paz for that matter. We passed the denoted areas on the map at all times of the day, and no sign of anything like that.
Added the changes to the Map and a few others.

Everything is on the menu. I asked about off site dates, but didn't actually do that. The same BS 1500 can get you an overnight if you care to negotiate it.

The information regarding pricing may be a little out of date, but here goes.
Walked up to the gate, rang the buzzer. "Yo quiero masaje. Tienes masajistas?" I was buzzed in. I met the mamacita, an attractive woman in her mid- to late twenties wearing a tight blouse and cut off jeans. I explained (in American high school sophomore Spanish) that it is my first time in Bolivia, first time in Sta. Cruz, and first time at Pamelita's. That brought a smile. I was offered a line-up of six girls, but when I asked if the mamacita was available she smiled and said yes! She led me upstairs, I took a shower and we both undressed. We exchanged massages, first me then her. Rubbing her pussy seemed to get her excited and a little noisy. We finished with a very satisfactory BBBJ, CIM. After that we talked, or tried to, for a bit and then I was ready to leave. Damage was BS 1000 plus propina Bs250 for the Spanish lesson.
Sorry for late post.
Richard.
