I believe Bruce's apt is 802, 803 is David's, as he indicated Mery helped him out, but did not put him one her units. I happen to own # 801, Mery handles my rentals.
[QUOTE=Winner71]Great report and I'm glad you got your apartment situation resolved. TC 803... Isn't that Bruce's 3 bedroom place. I stayed there 4 years ago for 100k pesos when the exchange rate was 2800 to 1. I enjoyed it. My sense is it is probably much more expensive now.[/QUOTE]
During my 10 day stay in Cartagena I was with 11 different women, with everyone of the girls going with me for a fun and entertaining time, and not a financial transaction. As I mentioned in a prior post, I picked one girl up right in front of my apartment. I initially saw her on the beach next to Tony, and had Tony introduce her to me. Her name was Tatianna. During the next few days I ran into her numerous times, and always shared a few minutes of conversation with her, with finally asking her if she wanted to come up to my apartment to talk and relax. She took me up on my offer and the rest is history.
The rest of the girls were girls I met inside the discos I mentioned in my previous post, and my mode of operandi with them is to say and do whatever is necessary to create a party atmosphere with them, while making them feel like they are the only one in the entire world you are interested in. I do this by asking them about there family, there interests and passions in life, and listening to how they respond, as they will tell you what they want, what they like, and so forth. To me it is all about romancing there hearts with kindness, putting them on a pedestal of a Queen, and making them feel they are the Queen of all Queens, creating an environment that makes them happy, and feel special. Use eye contact, tell them how great they look and smell, and how fortunate you feel to have the opportunity to build a friendship with them. Latin women love to dance, so dance with them, have a shot of tequila with them, with a toast to a great time to go along with it. Smile and laugh with them, share some of your life with them, let them know your likes, dislikes, desires, allowing them to get to know you, as the more they get to know and understand you, the more secure they feel, and automatically they will be feeling a boyfriend experience. These girls are no different than most of us, so give them exactly what we are looking for. In a previous post I spoke of how Cartagena is small, and the problem I ran into was, all these girls wanted to be with me 24/7, so it made it very difficult to go out and not run into them. I was popping my head into the door of every bar I went to, to make sure the coast was clear, as I am not one who wants to spend night after night with one girl. As I mentioned on several occasions in the past, for me and my friend, it is all about the hunt, with the sex coming in right behind it. Just doing the sex thing has no appeal for me. Latin women are also very jealous and sensitive. One of the girls who is pictured with the long hair was working in a disco, I promised her I would stop in and see her after spending the previous night with her, which I did. I then told her my friend and I wanted to go out by ourselves to have a good time without any female company, and she breaks down in tears. I had another girl who is also pictured, take me to Barranquilla to meet her family on Saturday afternoon, and wants to come to Puerto Vallarta , Mexico , to visit me, as that is where I have my permanent home. While in the company of her, her family made me feel like I was a King. It was a great experience.:) My suggestion to everyone is once you have established a friendship with them, to invite them to Mr.Babillas to go dancing. It takes them out of there environment, and it gives you one on one time with them, in a fun, exciting, happy environment catered to mostly couples. Another great place to take them is to Café del Mar. This is a open air restaurant/bar located inside the walled city, with a beautiful view, and it is place you can share in a great conversation with her.
I should cover pricing here guys. All the girls in the discos are asking for 150,000 pesos and up for one or two hours. Even though I was never asked for any money the night I was with any of the girls I spoke of above, I did have 2 of the girls ask me for 200,000 pesos the next day, and I sent them packing, after telling them how insulted I was that they would even ask me for that type of money, as no money was ever discussed. :) I paid there taxi fare and that was it. Some of the other girls, I did give like 50,000 pesos, plus taxi fare, but it was out of the generousity of my heart. All the girls I have posted pics have refused any offer of pesos, other than taxi fare, which I just paid after walking them to there taxi.
The pics I have attached were taken with a disposable camera, since my regular camera was stolen as I reported in Panama .
Next up, things such as taxi fares, restaurants, Cartagena as a city, and approaching Colombian girls.

Taxi’s: Just as I experienced in Bogota the taxi’s will rip you off every chance you get. Anyone staying in Laguito and going to Bocagrande do not pay more than 4000 pesos, and 5000 pesos to central and the walled city. If you go out to Playboy do not pay more than 7,000 pesos max. The taxi drivers will all try to get you to go out there. My suggestion to you all is to keep a roll of 1 and 2000 pesos in pocket, and when you use a taxi just use these pesos to pay them. Do not ask them how much a fare is, just go by the rule of thumb I just told you, and have the money ready to pay them as soon as you reach your destination. These guys are the best cons out there.
Money Exchange: This is a big one. Stay the hell away from the cambios that change dollars into pesos. Go to the Banco Colombia to do your exchange. Despite Banco Colombia being present in several locations, there are only two that do money exchanges. There is one off of Carrera 2 and I believe it is calle 5, also known as San Martin. This is in Bocagrande. The other location is in Central located near the Monte Carlo Hotel. When I was in Cartagena the cambio exchanges were paying anywhere from 1800 pesos to 1850, where the Banco Colombia was giving a rate of 1910. This is very big difference guys if you are going to be there for any amount of time. Banco Colombia will only allow you to exchange $500.00 dollars per day.
Restaurants: If you want to take a girl out for a nice dinner, I highly suggest Pacos in walled city or to Café Del Mar. I mentioned these 2 places in my previous posts. Just awesome food. For hamburgers I would suggest Prestos I believe it is called. There are two locations that I am aware of, and both of these are located in Laguito along the road that goes by the beach. There are also some nice low cost restaurants on the beach in Bocagrande.
The city of Cartagena: This city is a great city to go and see, and has to rank up with them one of the best I have been to. Instead of me going and describing all the sights to see, I am going to provide you a link from Wikipedia that will provide you some great information on the history of this beautiful city. I fell inlove with the walled city. If you have ever been to Bourban Street in New Orleans, you will be able to relate to this, but it is much better!. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartagena,_Colombia[/url]
The women of Cartagena: The beauty of the Clombianas is breathtaking, and Cartagena is the mecca of all flavors. The thing that really through me, and I hope some of the more experienced members on here will elaborate,is the women will not approach you, and this includes the putas. You can be the only person in the bar, with the bar packed with putas, but not one will get up and approach you. I find this kind of funny, as you would think the working girls would try to engage in conversation as much as possible, since hooking up with a guy is there business, but they don’t. They would just as soon sit at a table or in a corner and smoke there cigerettes. I have never seen so many women smoke as I did in Cartagena.
Well guys, this is all I have to offer you at this point. Have fun, be safe, and good luck to all of you!. I am planning on returning to Cartagena, and possibly Medellin, either the end of August or the beginning of September.
Lastly guys, please if you use any information in your travels from this board, please return the favor to us posters, and post a comprehensive report yourself, and include some pics, as it makes us posters who put in the time consuming work to write reports, try to down size pics, e.t.c feel are efforts are being rewarded.

Just got back from my week long trip to Cartagena. One thing, I am still wishing that I was still there. I was really impressed overall with the whole trip and really changed my outlook about life. About woman. Like I've read in past post by other members. You have not made love to a woman until you made love to a colombiana. Wow. That's a another story.
**First off. I would like to Thank Urbanwildlife! He has provided me with some detailed information about Cartagena before our trip. With his info I would had a lot harder time or might have been looking at the wrong places. Thanks Urban. Urban and I was down at Cartagena around the same time. But for some misque we never was able to meet up until the last night when I was leaving the next day and I just happend to leave with a girl. Sorry Urban! Anyways from the brief meeting of him and his friend. They seem to be a great couple of guys. No wonder why girls were in love with him! Haha!
**My trip started as well by having a Layover in Panama. It was about 3 hours so it wasn't too bad. Lots of Dutyfree tax free shopping while you wait. Lots of woman to look at from all south america. Very nice airport I must add. I had no issues on getting my flight with copa airlines. But one thing you must know about the airport, they only have 1 restaurant in the whole airport! Can you believe that? Service is terrible! Food was decent.
**I arrived in Colombia around 1000PM. Took a taxi to Laguito where I rented a apartment SC 803. At first I was going to stay at the TC building but there were some issues about being chica friendly and I didn't want to risk that. My SC apartment was perfect. Very nice condo, perfect ocean view from the balcony and directly across the street from LDV and the casino. Took 15 steps to cross the street onto the steps of LDV. Was able to get my key from security even with my limited spanish. Very limited I may add. Will give more detail later. P.S. This condo is now sold and they were waiting for my to leave so the new owners could move in.
**First night. Showered and hit up LDV since it was across the street. On the steps and in the courtyard there were a lot of chicas. Some pretty good looking. Opps need to backtrack. I took a shower. Had the taxi take me to a atm and on the way back, drove by a bus stop with working girls and he asked me if he wanted me to stop. So I was like what the hell. Stopped and got my first colombiana experience back at my apartment. She must been around 19. Cannot remember her name. Awsome service and give her 70Kcop. She was very happy. Send her on her way. Took shower and headed to LDV.
**LDV. As soon as I walked in. It was about 1:00am on Sunday morning. Wow. Lots of beautiful girls. I was by myself. So I just ordered a drink and watch the girls smoke and dance by themselves. I pretty much had the pick of the litter. There were only a handful of other men there and about 40 girls. As Urban stated. The girls will NOT APPROACH you. It is kind of against their custom as I found out that if they approach a man. Than they are not worthy and are sluts. Etc. Hmmm? What kind of work are they in and they still have those morals? LOL. But. My worst nightmare (I'll explain later) did approach me and was all up on me. Guess she didn't have any morals. LOL. Anyways. She was from Medellin. Blond. Enhanced breasts, with a perfect butt. Face wasn't all that. But within 10 minutes of me being there. She was stuck on me and since I am new at this. I stayed and talked with her and left with her. (Big mistake) After couple of days with her (couldn't get rid of her). I found out that she was crazy! Like Urban stated. Her ass did not want to leave me! She wanted to move all her stuff in until I left. She was a nice girl. Don't get me wrong. (she cleaned my apartment, made my bed. And even paid for a massage on Rosediro Island) But of course I was not feeling having just one girl my whole trip there. Kind of dissed her and next thing I know. Ran into a american and he said he heard about me. Said that she was crying at LDV and about how I broke her heart etc. Like urban stated. Cartagena is kind of small. You will run into girls and sometimes it hard to avoid breaking hearts. My whole trip, I had about 3 girls that was totally mad and disgusted with me when they saw me with other girls. Damn give me a break! LOL. Enough about the pyscho chick. But every time I went into LDV. She tried to cockblock and wouldn't get off me. I hated going to LDV just because of her!
**LDV, the few times I went in there. There were some fine woman. It is a good place just to watch girls, have some expensive drinks, chat and dance. Even though the girls will not approach, they are really friendly and will chit chat with you if you approach them. (if a blond chica from Medellin approach you at LDV. Stay away! LOL) I've took 3 girls from LDV and all the girls including the pyscho gave awesome GFE service. I had all three really fall for me. (another thing that I have learned about their culture. Colombian men are very dominant. They do not please their woman and is all about themselves. So with that in mind. If you make a Colombian women cum, they will be in love with you! I have scratches to prove it. They are not used to men being sensual. So if you are looking for a true GFE. Be sensual with a woman. Kiss her. Caress her. Make her cum once or twice and you are in for a big suprise! ) You will know if you are doing it well. You will hear the words "RICO" and "Papacita" a lot. With all three girls I really had a true GFE. There were no faking or acting involved. Take your time men. Enjoy your lady.
More report to follow.
Well done...good report
The taxi fare from Laguito to Centro is officially slightly less than 4K before 8:00 pm. It may be 3.8K. After 8:00 pm, there is a 500-peso surcharge. Also, you may have to pay a 10% surcharge for AC. I normally give 4k before 8 and 5K after. The minimum charge is around 3.8K.
Also, you can walk 3 blocks from the airport and pay around 8K to Laguito versus 12K from in front of the airport. I absolutely hate taxistas in CTG. They will fuck you in the ear if they can. I know what the fare should be. Give them the correct fare and say, "Gracias."
I wasn't aware that only selected branches of Bancolombia exchanged money. You are always better off using the ATMs assuming your home bank doesn't fuck you.
Apparently you missed Club de Pesca. That is a restaurant at the northern tip of Manga Island located within the walls of an old fort. You dine several feet from the water. The ambience is better than Cafe del Mar. It's a perfect place to take that special chica. And they have a full menu.

The one in Oviedo Mall is the only one that changes money in that area. And only during specific hours. they take a long lunch break. The other banks won't. The last trip I used ATM's and found the rate slightly better even with the fees. Now I need to find an ATM that dispenses more than 500K.
Thank you for the compliments Tom33 and Rob Hay, as it is really nice to know that my reports were appreciated, as they took alot of time to write, and trying to resize pics as you can see is not my favorite thing to do. Tom, thank you for the recommendation of this restaurant, and I will check it out for sure on my visit in September.
I hope JLuv, Guilem, and Jacque who requested information from the board, and through p.m's to me, will also post field reports, since the board did provide them information as well.
Nice reports Urban and JLuv.
Always nice to hear what's happening in Cartagena.
As far as chicas not approaching you in clubs (pros). That's definitely not the case in all night clubs in Colombia.
As most guys know that have traveled about Colombia, it's more the norm to be approached in these clubs than not.
I remember how I thought it was odd how subdued the chicas were in LDV also.
Bueno ... thanks again for the reports.
great reports guys
Thanks again guys for the nice compliments, but I would like to respond to Rickers post about Colombianas approaching guys. My friend and I are both very outgoing guys, as is JLuv, but in none of the bars/discos in Cartagena were we approached, and in my case, on my trip to Bogota it was the same way. I know you are pretty much a Cali and Medellin guy these days, so maybe it is different there, or possibly things have changed since you last frequented Cartagena. You should make a trip there sometime in the near future, as I would be interested in hearing your observations. I did not mention Bogota because I know from your past posts, that is not one of your destinations.

Urban and Jluv.. that is what reports are all about.
Urban... I am astounded by your knowledge of Cartagena in such a short period of time. Sure, one can write a pretty good report... but damn.. you have names of restaurants, bars, addresses of banks, etc. just a lot of tiny details that honestly, I can say the bar over there or in that area... but I just can't remember the names after being there so many times. You either 1) have an incredible memory or 2) took a pad of paper with you everywhere. What is certain is that you made sure you came back with great info to give a great report.
Jluv... What can I say... been there, done that... and that's a good comment for you. I know exactly what you mean about not being able to get away from a gal. And having all the gals jealous, and feeling like "what the hell is the deal, why does everyone want to be my girlfriend?" 5 years ago Cartagena was my first Colombian destination... and my report would have been almost spot on as yours is. You will dream about Colombia and those chicas now for weeks.... months... until you get back to Colombia again... jajaja. With time you will realize that what makes these gals so special is their ability to bond with you and make you feel like you are their principe. They are pros at this and regardless of whether it is real or fake... you are going to dream about it for a long long time. No one can take that away. My experience will tell you that any of those gals could be your gf now... and I can tell you from experience the heartache that would come from trying to convert a working girl into a novia isn't worth it. The wonderful news is even though you were paying these chicas thus one might say, that is why they act this way, the truth is if you got game, are funny, treat them with respect, and appreciate them you will find a really special novia one day. The casas and places like LDV are fun, but believe me when I tell you that you haven't hit the tip of the iceberg yet. Colombianas are hands down the most sensual, sexiest, loving, caring, fun, and beautful chicas inside and out than any other chica in the world. One day you will find a super novia... many of them. I should let you know that just be careful if you do ever really fall for a gal... while I have all these great things to say about Colombianas... there is also another side to many Colombianas.. unfaithful, infidelity, lies, and ... It takes a long time to figure them out and know how to tell who is playing you and who is really sincere. Or, who is a player.. but is now sincere because you like her. Only question is how long is she then sincere. It's a whole other world there and you haven;t even been exposed yet to the non-pro aspect of Colombia... which is where you will find the real sweethearts. Your report is exactly how I was feeling after I returned from my first visit to Colombia 5 years ago.
Great posts from both Urban and Jluv. Urban I really appreciate all the details. Hands down it's the best set of posts I've read in a long long time.
The reason the gals do not approach you at LDV is because Aldo will not allow them to. It is not a custom or ritual or manners. It's Aldo's rule... and it's been like that since the first time I entered the place 5 years ago. I asked the gals and Aldo about it 5 years ago. Back then, if they approached you they would run the risk of him throwing them out. Aldo chooses who works there and who doesn't. Keep in mind, I haven't been to LDV in over 18 months, but I assume things haven't changed much... except of course the cost of the beer and the chicas. By the way, Aldo is the Italian fellow who runs the place for those that didn't know.
I have read on this thread numerous times about the big gringo invasion, and how it has destroyed Cartagena from what it used to be. Most of these were from the now rightfully banned idiot Surfer. My friend and I commented numerous times during our 10 day stay, about how there were no gringos around. During our entire stay, I saw approximately 20 to 25 obvious gringos.
I wouldn't really call it an invasion, but there are obviously more gringos visiting Colombia.
I don't think the influx of more gringos into Cartagena or Colombia for that matter has destroyed it. It has just changed things a bit.
It's still great ... obviously.
Anyone who has visited Colombia for many years, can see the difference.
Used to be you were the only gringo around and most likely the first gringo any of these chicas had seen.
Now, it's still great to be a gringo there, just not the novelty as before.
You guys saw 20-25 other gringos in a week, not an invasion, but much more than the past.
I can remember seeing no other gringos for weeks.
Obviously not all gringos are alike, you can still be very much appreciated for your spanish skills and personality that may set you apart from others.
Thanks again for the informative report! :)
Field Report II
Besides LDV. My other place that I’ve meet girls was from the beach. La Playa. I took advantage of meeting Tony #1. He looks exactly how Urban described. I first had a hard time finding Hollywood area of the beach. Ask someone. If not. Look for Hotel Dann and the strip is right in front of it. Be careful I ran into a guy that called himself Tony #2 and even showed me a card that said International Sex Guide. And that he was Tony. I didn’t take advantage of this Tony. I found Tony #1 or you could say that he found me. As soon as you walk the beach the host of the area (like Tony) will try to have you sit in their section. It will get kind of expensive as they will charge for everything from the chairs, to the tents and will overcharge for drinks or anything you order. Be careful and tell Tony No and give him what you think you owe. One thing that I hated about going to the beach was all the sales people and the massage girls. A damn pain in the ass are the massage girls. Gentlemen keep your shirt on if you don’t want to get bothered. As soon as you take your shirt off. They will jump on you and start giving you a massage. Keep in mind that they are not attractive at all! You tell them no, no, no and they will cont. To massage. I said whatever if she wants to give me a free massage then give it. Do not have this thought because after they are done or you make them stop. You are expected to pay 30KCOP! My ass! So make sure they don’t start at all because even if they don’t finish they will make you pay! Ok. More on Tony. The two times I went to the beach and sat in Tony’s section. He found me both times group of girls. The two different group of girls had the same story. They were all from Medellin. All college students. Between the ages of 20-23, 24. Hot! And were in town for anywhere from 2 weeks to a month/ for vacation and to make extra money for school etc. It was so cool talking with just college girls on vacation trying to make extra money. They were so real and down to earth. Basically the girls will pay Tony 20KCOP if they meet a guy and leave. You can tip Tony if you want. The girls typically want about 100K to 120Kcop. I defiantely had GFE with the college girls as well. Treat them right and your mileage will go far! I even had a 3some one day with group of girls. Young. Beautiful. Smart. College girls. What more can you ask! So if you don’t mind paying the overpriced chair and tent and drink fees. Hit up Tony! He will find you some College girls!
Will Contuine with reports.
