[QUOTE=Hunter]No everything is fine in Ctg price wise, BUT if you are flying from Europe the airline tickets will be more expensive between the end of June and the begining of September.
Hunter[/QUOTE]Also in July or August you can go and have fun, of course that is not a good moment cause prices are the double (hotel, apart girls etc)and selection of hirls is harder cause there are more turist customs form Spain, Italy and Canada. Better go in September-November or in February.
If you want gf experieance is better tha capital, or santiago de los caballeros, cause in Bocachica, sosua and all other turistic spots all girls are ***** or masked *****s, and all is less cheap than in other sides. But if you want to pay a lot to go with true profesional *****, yes sosusa and other turistic places are full of them!
[QUOTE=Jelly Donut]I would not spend a lot of time in Sosua or Puerto Plata - the kiteboarding and windsurfing place is Cabarete. There's a whole international/young community there built around this. Wind is completely dead in Cartagena in August. The serious Colombian guys go to Ecuador in May and don't come back till November. In Cabarete, it's about as good as it gets in July and August. You can rent gear in Cabarete for these sports. There are a couple of outfitters in Cabarete that organize different types of outdoor tours around that area.
I've had some great experiences in the DR with girls. The crowd in Cabarete is international with a lot of people in their 20s, with any game you and your friends should be okay. If you need a sure thing there are options in both Cabarete and Sosua - Sosua is a bigger town with more options, more girls.
In August, there is more to do in Cabarete than in Cartagena. And if you are organizing a trip for other non-Spanish speakers DR is going to be less hastle for you.[/QUOTE]

The other prices remain the same as the remainder of the year.
There are only three high seasons really in Ctg, Easter week, Miss Colombia week in November, the week or two before Chritmas and the week or two into the New Year.

Al[/QUOTE]For some reason my pm is not working.
I will be in Cartagena from the 15th to the 18th. Lets get in touch as soon as the pm situation is fixed.

Hunter[/QUOTE]I have to agree more with Tiofio's point of view. I'm leaving for Medellin next week, and got myself an excursion to Cartagena. I was told that I had to make my reservetions prior June 15, because that day the prices were going to change to the "high season."
Need tickets to the Miss Colombia pagent.... anyone know how to get them?
This was a real hot thread with many posts for awhile, but lately it has been left for dead!. Come on guys, what is happening in Cartagena these days?. Share with us any new information on new bars/discos, the happening bars/discos, the LVD, pricing, e.t.c.?
Thank you in advance for doing so! Anyone going to be around the end of June and the beginning of July?.
I'm not in the US. When I get back I'll send you the website and phone #. If I forget, remind me. However, which event are you planning on going to see? The best is the swimsuit at the Hilton. Pluses and minuses... if you don't have a ticket there are scalpers trying to sell tickets 3 times over face value the days before all the way up to an hour before the event. The plus... wait till 5 minutes after it starts and you can get a ticket for half of face value... though since you are entering after it's started you won't get the best seat in the joint. I went last year and I can honestly say I probably would have been better off watching it on tv.

Hey Urban,
I will be there at the same time that you will be there! I also book from the same place so we will be neighbors for few days! I already paid my deposit. David was also helpful. Didn't get to talk with Michael. I will be there June30 to July6. First time. I cannot PM. So How we going to hookup? Would love to meet you and your friend.

You may have a hard time getting them to respond, send an email once a day or call them and eventually you will hear back from them. If I recall, the tickets went on sale in July last year. I contacted them around November 1 and got put on the wait list for the bathing competition. Both the other events still had tickets available. Below is the email from my correspondence with them on November 1 last year. Note... since the bathing competition was sold out and that is the one I really wanted to see, I aked around quite a bit in Cartagena. There were scalpers all over el Laguito, trying to get me to pay anywhere from 200k pesos to 350k pesos the 48 hours leading up to the event. I didnt budge. 10 minutes before the bathing competition began you could get tickets for 150k pesos. After the event began... you could get tickets for 80k pesos of less. However, it is good that you are trying to get them early as youd much prefer to have your own tickets as opposed to 1) paying a huge price to scalpers or 2) having to wait till after it starts... sure you will get a great price... (below face value), but your seat will suck. You want to get in there an hour before it starts.
There are 3 main events that cost money... see email below. There is also a short parade in Boca Grande or Laguito like the Thursday (1st day) I wasnt there yet and something they do on boats on Friday or Saturday and as Tom33 poiinted out they build some sort of seating deal for the boat thing that they do... I did not see that last year.
Desfile in Traje is a costume parade where all the gals dress up in wierd costumes. It's under the clock tower and attire is like jeans. It wont sell out.
Desfile in banos is at the Hilton... any attire. This sells out first.
Coronacion is at the conventions center. It's a black tie dinner and the final night. LAst year there were still tickets availbable up until the day before.
The desfile de banos is also televised on local TV in Cartagena an hour or 2 after the event starts.
Also, there are other "parties". I.e. I went to the Hihlton the day of the defile de banos and all the gals were there. I couldn't get in, I think it was for guests of the Hilton only. No big deal. The thing you want to see is the desfile de bano. If you are going to stay through Tuesday you might want to go see the Coronation also. Other than that, the discos at night over the weekend and the desfile de bano competition is the fun part.
It is a fun weekend as everything as all the discos are packed wall to wall. too crowded in fact. See email below. Hope this helps.

Cartagena de Indias - Colombia[/QUOTE]
Thanks mate fopr all the help... I should be good to go... like the black tie thing always easier picking up hot women in a tux... reminds me of my late teen years when I would ask "What would James Bond do...."
Women love a little style and the appearance of wealth and sophisitication all over the world....
You wont be picking up any single women at the black tie event as everyone will be with a date. Unless of course you are talking about hitting on the participants of the event. The Coronacion (Black Tie event) is like watching Miss America or Miss Universe competition on TV. I.e. It's formal, therre is a dinner, and everyone will be with whoever they are with to watch the competition. It wont be people walking around mingling etc.... and I doubt any dateless Colombianas are going to be there at 240k pesos a seat. Ah and your comment about sophistication and wealth. the majority of the poeple at the coronation will all be wealthy Colombianos or possibly some extrnajeros. You won't stick out much at an event like this from a wealth prospective. It will be people with $$$ at the coronation.
The desfile de bano is your best shot to hit on chicas... but even there... 100k pesos a seat... most will be with dates, etc. Unless again, you are talking about going after the participants, which I really don't have any idea if that is conceivable or not. I assume after the desfile or at some of the other events that are at... I.e. that party in the daytime at the Hilton you can chat with them.
Good luck mate.

There are bound to be a few with family or who are models and past contestants etc. They are not all poor.... but I will keep that in mind.
