[QUOTE=Caliguy 2010;1120280]Hi guys traveling to Bogota and Ibague, anybody know Viagra prices there? I normally get them in the USA for $20 from Walmart. Just wondering if it is worth all the effort to get them in Colombia instead of USA[/QUOTE]Definitely worth the effort. You will pay about $10. For Viagra but you can get the generic for about $2. Just ask for Sildenafil, the generic name for Viagra. No prescription needed for either by the way.
Hello,
I have just joined the ISG. I love Columbian women, I go to Aruba often and 90% of the women are Columbian.
I would love to go to Columbia, either MD, or Cali.
Can any one give me all the info I need, such as where do I fly into, upscale place to stay around $100 p / night guest friendly, and a map or info on p4p bars brothels, and freelancers, rates to expect, and any other valuable info.
Also maybe a guide / bodygaurd, as my spanish is very bad.
Thank You. Mark

Check the hotel section for the other ideas.

The drug store is near park 10 in Poblado avenida 36. First the lady handed me the real brand but it was like 11000 pesos for each pill, I asked for the generic came out much cheaper and works fine.

Appreciate any advice.
I've been to 37 countries and sidenafil is the cheapest I remember in Colombia! In fact I load up for eeuu and other countries, and I buy it in the rich barrio, cheers!

You say you like the beach. I would go to Santa Marta before I would even think about CTG. Keep up the good work learning Spanish. You will not be sorry you made the effort.
Good luck

Actually the Cialis generic is a yellow pill diamond shape and the viagra is blue. So Sildenafil is a generic for viagra. Cialis works better for me and does not give me the side effects that viagra does. So I will keep you posted when I find it, I am going to shop around for it in Medellin today.

Hello, fellow hunters. I having survived my first week or so in Colombia I thought I would post my thoughts here
In the hopes it will help other newbs that are considering visiting this fine country. I have traveled a bit around.
The Pacific Rim and caribbean in a military capacity, but have never been south of Dom Rep or Yucatan before.
Disclaimer 1: This is not a P4P review. I have not had the opportunity to partake of any pro action yet, and
I don't think I will until I arrive in Medellin sin mi novia. Good God. This girl drains me every day. I don't.
Even have the energy to rub one out anymore. LOL.
Disclaimer 2: My total experience in Colombia is only a week and and a half. This is what I have experienced in.
That time in Cali and Bogota. YMMV. Much of what is here will not be news to Colombian veterans. This is intended to help newb like myself.
Jackson, if you feel this report is inappropriate on account it is not a pro review, feel free to move or delete.
I have placed it in the general section as it does not pertain to the pros or one particular city.
On with the show.
Safety: A primary concern for newb visitors, at least for this one. Here's the scoop: Cali and Bogota are cities.
There is crime. You are a target. I am from the St. Louis area and I would say that street crime is about the same.
The difference is, I can recognize and avoid trouble in St. Louis. It is more difficult here. My novia has
Assisted by pointing out which barrios are safe and which are not. I have been in an Estrada 2 barrio (her madre)
Up to an Estrada 5 barrio (her sisters boyfriend). I am currently staying in an apartment in an Estrada 4 barrio.
Really the only one that made me uncomfortable was the E. 2. I felt ok being there with her family, but I sure would
Not want to be there alone. Knowing Spanish can.
Help a little, but not much. For example, I would not have considered taxi's to be dangerous. But my novia has.
Warned me to only take a taxi that I call on the phone. If I take a taxi on the street there is a good chance that
I will be taken on 'the millionaire's walk'. In other words, mugged via taxi. She and her amigas will never take.
A taxi they do not call. She says that if you talk to the cabbie and you are obviously not from the area, you will.
Most certainly be in trouble. It is not just grino's either. Her amiga was mugged in Cartegena via taxi. She was.
A target because she had a Calena accent. (I can't tell the difference).
The biggest contributor to your safety? Friends. Before you arrive make friends. Find a novia. Or an amigo. Once.
They introduce you to thier friends and family, you are now friends with them all. They will look out for you. If.
I had not had my novia guiding me, this would have been a VERY different report.
Chickas: Good god. Really. WTF happened in america? I arrive in Cali, bang the shit out of my novia all night.
She has to work the next day, but gets up early to make me breakfast in bed and do the dishes. I said "Thanks".
She gave me a strange look and asked "For what?". Really? Really? WHERE THE HELL HAVE THESE WOMEN BEEN ALL MY
LIFE? Oh yea, Colombia.
Guys, if you are considering coming here for the women, just do it. I have been here one week and in two big cities.
I have seen ONE fat chick. ONE! Don't get me wrong, there are not streets of supermodels walking around everywhere.
There are girls of all shapes and (not fat) sizes who all make an effort to look attractive. Every day. No
Sweat pants and flip flops here. I am not even sure how to describe their behavior other than to say they act like.
Women. Feminine. They actually enjoy sex. They will ask for it. Seriously. Something has gone horribly wrong
In America.
Transportation: Daunting at first, but easy once you know your way around. Taxi's are NOT for taking you somewhere
You don't know. First, the safety aspect (see above). Second, taxi drivers seem utterly incompetent here.
I have had several that did not (or pretended not) to know where they were going, even with my novia with me.
Take a taxi only if you must, or
If you can tell them exactly how to get to your destination.
Buses; they are good. They seem very safe and easy to use. The only drawback is you have to know exactly where.
You are going (barrio). You have to look for the small sign in the window to see if the bus is going to your
Destination and know exactly where to get off. Newb tip: When you get on the bus, HOLD ON RIGHT AWAY! As soon as
Your foot touches the step on the bus, it is moving. Quickly.
Walking; I would not suggest unless you are with a amigo / amiga / novia. There have been many places where I felt.
Safe to walk that my novia would not go. Make friends and listen to them. They know their town.
Living Space: There are plenty of apartments for rent in the cities. You can find them online, obviously, but again.
It helps to make friends. My novia managed to find me an apartment at 3/4 the price I could find online.
The apartments here are small by American standards. If it is important to you, make sure you specify that.
You want hot water. It is not standard here. Air Condition is not standard here, though honestly I seldom use mine.
Coming from the midwest, I actually find the weather in Cali not as hot as August in Missouri. And Bogota was.
Cool. Comparable to Seattle in the Spring. If you are staying longer than a week, I recommend an apartment.
Time: Does not happen here as it does in the states. When you have an appointment at two in the afternoon, as long.
As you arrive before three you are considered on time. And most likely, if you are depending on a local for
Transportation, you will not arrive before three. If something you had planned does not get done today, oh well.
There is always manana. Being an american this will tend to stress you. Just take a breath and calm down.
It is simply the way it is here. Relax and understand that no one cares if you are late.
Food: Awesome. I have found very few things that I did not like, and even fewer that I could not at least tolerate.
It will taste different at first. You will think BLEH! Because it is not what you are used to. Give it a chance.
Come back later and try it again, with an open mind. You will most likely come to like it. One point of note: there.
Is NO fresh milk here. It is all shelf-stable milk. Prepare yourself for that as it can taste different.
Cali: Not a bad city. I would compare it to St. Louis, Charleston or Cincinnati. Kind of dirty with some bad areas,
But all in all not a bad city. Obviously not a big name for P4P like Medellin, but there is some game here.
Plenty of non-pros. Very friendly people. I am attending classes here at Universidad de Santiago and have joined.
A gym. At both places people are very friendly and helpful. They even speak a few words of english, though Spanish.
Is necessary to communicate well. Surprisingly, even the mom and pop shops are super friendly to an obvious gringo.
And understand a few words of English. Kudos to them. They are much more personable than some shop owners in
The big cities in America. FYI, Cali=Salsa. Be prepared. And they apparently do not drink too much in Cali. At.
Least not in my novia's social circle. We went to a bar and she had two drinks. I shit you not, two mixed drinks.
And came home and passed out cold on the bed. Easy date, I guess.
Bogota: Big city. Comparable to LA or New York. South side is the getto, north side is the rich part of town.
Weather comparable to Seattle, Portland or San Fransisco. Again, friendly people but a bit more abrupt. Fun things
To see here, including the monastery at Monsurrate, the Presidential Palace, etc. Lots of shopping. Where Cali=Salsa,
Bogota=Rock. And they are in love with English and American Rock and Pop. It is freaking hilarious to hear these.
Chickas talk in English. I can understand their Spanish better than their English because of their accent-and I
Don't really speak Spanish, LOL. Good city to visit, but I don't know if I would stay there for any length of time.
Parting Tip for those thinking of visiting: Make friends. Get on R, CC, hell even facebook.
Make some friends.
Learn Spanish, obviously. If you intend to take Spanish classes here, as I am, I highly recommend you at
Least learn your numbers and greetings. And I don't mean 1-10. I mean all numbers up to 1000. This has been the
Most difficult part of communicating for me is not understanding when someone tells me a street number or how.
Much something costs.
If any of you find these reports helpful, I will continue. We will visit the coffe areas in two weeks (Armenia,
Manizales, etc) and at the end of the month I will be traveling to MDE for some P4P before returning home.
I am considering the Mansion, at least for a few days. Waiting to see how things shake out in the Mansion thread. If anyone has any questions feel free to send a PM.
Good hunting, all.
Sorry for the horrible formatting below. I haven't figured out how to properly C&P from word yet.

I really liked how your Novia treated you at breakfast time. As it should be.
