Cartagena Reports

Wow this is incredible!

Have you got more pics of Alejandra.

Is there a picture of Alejandra?

[QUOTE=Xion149]Will be in CTG for July 4th and thereabouts. (Un?)fortunately, I have a sweet yet very clingy novia there, so the usual whoring venues won't do for entertainment this trip. Where do y'all take your novias/favoritas/regulars for fun? I don't pay her so I try to make up the difference in good times. Looking for some interesting activities to do, I've already done the Rosario islands thing (I bet every girl in LDV's been there at least twice) the plaza/old city thing, and yes, the dreaded Studio F thing (at least I admit it, heh)

Also, with this amount of fine ass women around, I know there must be a Colombian equivalent of Victoria's Secret- can anyone point me to such a spot in CTG?

Muchas gracias[/QUOTE]One thing I've done is taken a trip up the coast. Visiting BAQ and Santa Marta and the park beyond that.

There's a zoo in Baranquilla, which is a possible day trip from CTG. It's not the best zoo compared to what you are likely familiar with, but if she's never seen an elephant. At least I think I remember an elephant. She might appreciate it.

I can't help with the Victoria's Secret. I will own up to a trip to the Studio F, fortunately my novia was very reluctant to buy the pricy goods there. I did bring some of that kind of stuff down with me once. It seemed to my novia appreciated stuffed animals more.

I'm glad you guys likeds the photos. I almost forgot to post them until I found them on my memory card while preparing for my trip to Buenos Aires. [QUOTE=Dude55]Did Yudi get a boob job? I have done her many times but they were much smaller. [/QUOTE]Boob job, nose job, braces on the teeth, collagen lips, you name it.

When I was there she was taking treatments for laser hair removal.

She definitely believes in investing for self-improvement. Literally.

I saw some photos of her a few years back and she looked NOTHING like she does now.

She has put our money to very good use!

Vogue travel magazine (a travelmagazine, catering towards the "Haute Couture-fashionjunkie-preppy people") have a full 9 page special on Colombia in their latest issue.

The article comes down to that Colombia now is safe, and Cartagena is especially safe, and that Cartagena is the new and upcomming playground for the rich and famous.

Now, as most travelmagazines often follow trends from each other, you can count on that local magazines will follow with just the same kind of "chic-Colombia" articles in the comming months.

Question are, how long before we will se Paris Hilton types of people, running around Cartagena with small silly dogs in their LV handbags, and endlessly shouting "Oh my good, I can't believe it's sooo cheap," (no mather what price the vendors ask)

That will not benifit any visitors to Cartagena, just the vendors.

[QUOTE=Dodger Bulldog]I'm glad you guys likeds the photos. I almost forgot to post them until I found them on my memory card while preparing for my trip to Buenos Aires ... [/QUOTE]Hey DB,

Nice fotos amigo, especially the morenita. Very nice.

The other chica, Yudi, not my type, but nice fotos.

When you heading to Buenos Aires? I've been hanging out there a bit lately too.

Take care.

[QUOTE=UrbanWildlife] ... Once again to those paying the big prices polish your game, as my two friends and I never had a chica that spent the entire night ask for any money from us, and this includes chicas from LDV!. What we chose to pay them was our choice, as no negotiations took place, and they never asked us for any type of payment. Remember, conversation gets the girls, and this means speaking to them like you would speak to a normal girl in bar/nightclub/disco setting, and yes this does include LDV and Electra. Also every place I met a girl and asked for her telephone number to meet her during the day, she ended up giving it to me, and the same once again went for my friends. It is that easy ... [/QUOTE]That's how it works amigo, however, the truth is, most guys don't have that ability to gab with the chicas like you.

Treat them like a pro and you pay the market price, treat them like you do and you pay what you like.

Take care amigo.

There have been newspaper articles in the last 1-2 years on travel to Cartagena and Colombia in general. The first time I saw one of them I thought 'oh no! '. But it didn't make much difference, AFAIK. And there have been sightings of famous folks in CTG. I think Mel Gibson was there last year, among others.

But as George Lakoff, a political sociologist stated: "when facts meet belief, facts lose". IOW, despite the relative safety in the big cities of Colombia, whenever I mention that I am travelling to CO, I get the usual response "ain't it dangerous! ". As if Pablo Escobar is still running around. Beliefs die hard.

Which is fine with me, less competition. Go to a major bookstore and go to the travel section. Look at all the Lonely Planet books on just about every country on earth. You probably won't find the Colombia Guide there (I had to order it online). CO, for the most part, is still an internal destination for fellow Colombianos, with a smattering of Italianos, Israelis and US mongers.

Perfectly said ONCE AGAIN my friend!. Remember Ricker, you are the idol and the mentor to many here on the ISG!;) It is on record in the archives! :)
If you want to get freebies, develop some conversation and game as Ricker pointed out in his quote above. Here is a small sample of the last two months. Of all the girls that I posted, only one, Laura who was a beach girl, asked me for money, and she turned out to be the worst I have had in Cartagena as far as sex goes. I paid her 50,000 pesos. Her attitude was all about the money, so you will not get any GFE from her. You can also find her at LDV and Electra. She is originally from Barranquilla.

A few others to go along with my last post.

Ahhh, Laura.

Good memories.

Nice pics.

Hey Urban,

Nice collection...I see you have been busy.

I never post anything but after going to Cartagena about 15 times I feel inclined to comment on the prices.

On my first trip several years ago I did nearly every girl in La Dolce Vida for 80,000 pesos which was only about $35 with the good exchange rate back then. Now I pay 100k pesos more often than 80k but I still never pay more than 100k including the LDV girls. However, with the exchange rate today 100k pesos is $60, which is partially why so many guys have stopped going to Colombia. Friends that I have met in Cartagena over the years are now telling me to join them in Thailand or the Philippines and get a quality girl all night for $30 or go to the Dominican and get them for $40 or less for an hr. Brazil is also a new first choice for some guys.

Nevertheless, the bottom line on Cartagena is that I just returned from a 2 week visit and I never paid more than 100,000 pesos ($60). Yes, I have read and I have experienced where the girls ask for 150-200k pesos but I average 2 girls per day and I never pay more than 100k for 30 min to 2 hrs. I often only pay 50-80k pesos especially during the day. There will always be a few girls that I can not get for these prices but I get plenty of 7’s, 8’s and 9’s for 100k or less and my past experience (green horn days) has been that most of the pricier girls are usually worse not better in bed which only adds insult to injury. In fact, I cannot recall ever paying above the norm and being glad I did it!

Everyone has his own style but I will share what works for me. I will not post pics or reveal too many specific details about myself because too many guys fall in love with the girls and share the postings and I don’t want to shit in my nest. I will only say that I am an average looking/built middle aged guy.

1. I have learned that if I go in the LDV or Tu Candelas with a blue vein throbber and geeking at the girls like they are crack rocks I will never get one under 200k ($120)! Say what you want about the girls but they are not stupid and they know your weaknesses! I can usually find a decent blowjob from a street girl for 40-50k in the afternoon or early evening so I’m not cross-eyed and drooling on myself when I enter a nightclub.

2. If I pay more than 100k on the first night I will have to pay over 100k every night as word travels fast with the girls. Therefore I might settle for a 6 or 7 in the 11th hour on my first night for 80-100k. For example, my first night on my last trip there was a group of 5 girls banning together at LDV that would not go below 150k. I told them that they knew very well there are enough girls in there for 80-100k so I left with a 6 for 80k at about 3am to prove my point. The second night the ringleader (which I’d rate as an 8) from the night before went with me for 100k and she was calling me almost everyday before I left for 80k.

3. I never ask them how much they want. I always make the first offer between 60 & 80k. This way they counter lower than their usual asking price and I can usually get them to meet me at 80-100k after a few minutes if we like each other. I even did a 3some with 2 LDV girls for 150k total on my 4th night. One of them gave a bbbj like a hoover vacuum cleaner so I saw her individually several times after that for 70k. No, she wasn’t a 10 but her bbbj (a spitter) was an 11 and it served well on several days for a pre-game warm-up before going out to the clubs.

4. I always build repoir first. The price is usually lower if I can make them laugh and if they know it will not be too dreadful of an experience. Also, a little Spanish goes a long way. I usually start with a little small talk to see if I even like them and to see if I can win them over before making an offer. I had a girl that was a solid 9 which always gets 150-200k go with me for 100k within 20 minutes of meeting her. After a couple more times for 100k she was calling me and seeing me for 80k. No, they all won’t do that but some will if they like you.

5. It’s better to tell them that they are worth more than they are asking and they deserve the best but I am not rich so maybe I don’t deserve them. Also, when they counter 150-200k I tell them that I don’t need all night, I tell her in fact she is so pretty I probably just need a few seconds. It always helps to say that I have another girl waiting for 70k or 80k but I prefer to go with you if you want to work with me. I usually tell them that if the chemistry is good I will see her many times. I used to want a different girl every day but I got tired of paying for surprises and disappointments so now I don’t try to fix it if it ain’t broke and I do more repeats when I find one that works well for me.

6. I never pay upfront anymore. I have shown a few beautiful women to the door that refused to give services before they are paid but I’ve had just as many run out the door with my money before completing services when I paid upfront. I just tell them that I know Cartagena and it’s not the norm to pay first. If they still refuse it’s better to pay their taxi and cut my losses early.

7. Also keep in mind the seasons. I don’t pay over 100k during any season but it’s easier in the low seasons. The girls were telling me that June was slow but the Italians will come in July and the Spaniards will come in August. They say December and January are busy too but I really think there is a shift in tourism in Colombia according to some apartment managers that I know. A lot of regular clients are not returning to rent apartments anymore and I think that the girls are starting to feel it too.

8. If she speaks fluent English, haul ass! The ones that speak fluent English usually are good at getting high prices from guys who don’t speak Spanish. If you don’t speak Spanish it’s better to scribble the prices on a napkin with a non english-speaking girl than to think you are having an intimate conversation with a girl that “understands you.”

9. If you are a high roller and you are not concerned with prices that is fine but just remember that the girls will never confuse you for being a generous person as it is their job to take your kindness for weakness and make you like it. I have had many girls open up to me and tell me about the stupid tourists that pay too much as well as the tourists that are wiring money to the girls that are naked with me. Personally I would rather them call me tight than stupid. I make good money and I could easily pay 200k and play the big shot but why? A construction worker in Colombia earns about $10 per day so I think $60 for 1 hour is more than fair. Furthermore, when I have to pay more than 100k pesos I’m joining my friends in Thailand, the Philippines or the Dominican for ½ the money.

In conclusion, I have only posted my personal experience. I respect that the experiences and perspectives of others may be different but not wrong. Therefore, there is no need to volley back and forth on the message board and take up more valuable space so I will not respond to any positive or negative postings.

Thank you, I’m done, see you in Cartagena!

Now that I have had time to reflect on my CTG trip, I can comment on things with a little more clarity. For starters check Spirit Airlines often. Last week they had fares to a lot of places including CTG for $11 each way out of FLL. Don't bring US $$$, just your ATM card for pesos. If you are a newbie like I was, arrange if possible for the hotel to pick you up or send a taxi for you. It's a good feeling to exit the hassle of Colombian immigration and see a guy there waiting with a sign with your name and hotel's name on it. The damn taxi wouldn't start and some guys hanging around gave us a push....standard shift cars are great. Take a tour of the city and spend a day at the Rosario Islands. Take a chica with you for the day. The hotel can arrange it for you. The Rosario trip is $70K pesos and you get a free lunch. Make sure it doesn't rain that day or you will get soaked on those open air boats. But the beach they take you to is great not like in Boca Grande.

Just go to the beach. The guys there all have contacts for anything that you need. People are going to approach you selling everything from phones, necklaces and even massages. I told one girl I had no dinero for massage...she said no problem my credit was good, I come to your hotel. The cops patrol the beach on bikes so you will have protection. I felt quite safe there. Ask any taxi driver and they will tell where all the chica casas are.

If you meet a chica don't fall for her too much. Remember you can't bring her back and once you leave she will be back to her old tricks with somebody else. Get her number or email for your next visit. If you want her for takeout you won't need the taxi guy again. Use a different taxi if you want to check out another casa. They are usually in regular houses so you won't find them on your own. Anyway I'm off to Panama on 7/22, on guess what...Spirit.

I hope to bring you good news from there.

Happy tales and tails guys...play safe.
