Cali Reports

[QUOTE=Hillbilly69; 1150347]Chivas are between Calle 15 and 16 off Ave Sexta from what I remember.

I got picked up at my hotel by the Chiva Bus went East to Disco Chango everyone says its North but it isn't.

There is 3 big discos there the Chiva Bus takes you to within walking distance about 1/3 of a mile.

Look for Locogringos cab driver Jorge can fetch you Chiva Bus Ticket and give you more info. [/QUOTE]I went to Juanchito in 2009 and had a great time. I learned the basic pasos for Salsa Caleña there. Nobody dances international / NY style salsa there at all. Chango is the big club and there are 2-3 smaller and lesser popular spots that only fill up after Chango is full. Juanchito is a municipality that is located outside the northeastern edge of Calí proper. The club district is just east of the Rio Cauca. Once you cross the Rio Cauca on the Carrera 8 bridge you're in Juanchito.

Surfer would know.

Past disco chango to the East about a half mile I thought there was a huge disco also on opposite side of the road where the Chivas are parked after dropping people off in Juanchito.

PS Take a few drinks with you on the bus is a decent trek on Chiva bus.

[QUOTE=Brother P;1149570]That's interesting. I was hoping to hear you comment on Flamingos, Ibiza, Renobar, Bananas. I got a list of clubs to check out from rtff. I'm going to have to see it for myself. I'm that type of dude! LOL! I haven't been to Cali. I'm in Panama city right now and there are a ton of sexy Calenas! So Cali is definitely coming up. I may change my July plans and hit Cali and Santa Marta. I definitely prefer Columbia over Panama. Thanks for the info![/QUOTE]I know this is the wrong place for SM. But I think that bar I was talking about on Calle 11 was Bannanas. Never went to the others. This was my first time in Colombia though. I was probably expecting too much. I been going to Thailand for the past 12 years. I've re grouped though, and got a different attitude. Going to give Cali a shot in June. Have fun man.

[QUOTE=Palermo; 1139519]Cyberdas, I don't disagree with a lot of what you said (and I sure am not offended, I have no skin in the game of one place vs another).

It's always hard to compare one place to another, so much depends on what you are looking for, how old you are, how good your spanish is, and pure luck / timing.

But I think for the average guy coming from the USA for a week, MDE is nicer city, easier to meet pros, more choice, better looking women.

I have to repeat I missed getting to the higher end places in Cali, and maybe if I had seen them I would change my mind? But even so, it's like MDE is set up for the average guy to have a good time, and Cali you have to work at it, and you need to be more careful too, IMO and experience.

In MDE I only once paid a girl 200k, the rest I paid under 150k, and that's for several hours at my place. That's a pretty good deal for girls I'd rate as '8's more or less.

Of course there are all kinds of much cheaper places in MDE and in Cali, and even in Bogota, but I don't usually frequent those places other than to see if I am missing something.

The bottom line for me is the question, would I go back? So, sure, I'd go back to Cali, mainly for the non pros, but I am not dying to get back there.

I do agree the MDE women are starting to get like the women from Bogota, which is a bad thing. Prices are bound to follow too I suppose. Maybe we can both agree Bogota now officially sucks and is more expensive than back home? (at least at any of the north places).

In the end, I think the debate about which place to go is fun and interesting, but really, it all depends on so many factors that you never know who will enjoy which place more.

My main conclusion is, if you want to have a good time in the smaller towns, you need to stay a lot longer, and then you could have the time of your life. But most guys here only have a short time, so the bigger cities are more set up for that.

I also miss the early days in Cuba, and in Bogota. Ah well still have some good memories.

Not sure where the 'next' place is boys, but I'll keep looking, cheers.

(P. S. Just arrived in Iquitos, Peru, will probably post something there soon) [/QUOTE]June will be my first shot at Cali. Would you mind giving me a suggestion where to look for the non pros. I thought I'd just walk around the malls for starters. Chipachape?

Thank you

Are they still in business? I can't get their URL to work.

just got back from cali, it is becoming very "caliente" as my suegro likes to say, dangerous! please please dress down if you decide to go, i can't stress how important it is to not attract attention to yourself at all costs. a moto drove up to this suv in front of us, the guy knocked on the glass with a snub 38 and says pass me your wallet, blackberry and watch, the guy does then speeds off, simple as that. no chaleco, helmet and license plate bent upwards. we were all in shock and couldn't believe what we just saw. another day in the barrio.

always call a secured cab when possible! if decide you have to take a cab off the streets sit in the front, look for an older gentleman, watch for random phone calls incoming our outgoing, try and gauge where you need to return to and make sure you are heading in the right direction, make sure the cab driver turns the meter on, watch his hands, don't go to centro dusk or later. cali is not the south of medellin where gringos walk around drunkingly feeling a false sense of security.

on another note there is this new casa in the south in front of the "terminal" called geishas or asias. something like that. i would stay away. it has non structured prices, you pay 20k for the room for an hour and then negotiate with the girl for the hour which ranges from 60k-100k hr. 2 things. the guy tells me the beers are 5k so there is 4 of us including the 2 girls. they ask for their beers micheladas. so the guy comes back with the 4 beers 2 of ours are in cans and their 2 are in like 8oz glasses. i pass the guy a 20k note, he tells me that the girls drinks are 13k and i was like what the fuck and this was outrageous for adding lime and salt but most of all why did you tell me 5k and then not tell me that girls beers micheladas are 13k? #2 i asked the guy how much the multa was which is the take out charge for a chica when they are working. he tells me 50mil so me and this chica negotiate a great tln fee and was willing to pay the 50k for her and go to give him the 50k. he comes back 5 minutes later and then tells me he made a "mistake" and the multa was 70k. i told him and the chica no gracias!" the chica was upset, so was i and here i am writing this little story. i didn't get extra loud or furious even though i wanted to because they need to unlock the door to let you out and i didn't want them to shake me down.

p. s. everything is getting expensive in the casas cali, beers are 6k bottles are 100k and up and pussy is like 40 for 20 minutes. thats a lot for colombia when i used to pay 37k for an hour at dr loves!

I only visited this casa in Cali and found it amazing. Cheap prices from 35k to 45k for an hour, nice and great selection of girls. Rooms super clean and all perfectly organized.

Recommended!

Brugal[/QUOTE]Brugal,

Could you clarify the price scheme of their service? Some old reports stated 80K only to show you the book and chica price starting from 250K on.

Brugal[/QUOTE]I hope someone with recent experience can help me out with a few details. How is payment arranged? Is it directly to the girl after the programa? Will they accept credit card, USD or Euro?

My problem is with security. I can't obtain Colombian pesos in my country before I go. So if payment in cash with Colombian pesos is the only option, I would need to bring quite a bit of USD or Euro to Cali and exchange it there. With the amounts this service is charging, I assume it would be a security risk to even show the cambio workers (or wherever I exchange my money) that I have these kind of amounts of cash.

There is no direct flight to Colombia from my country. Maybe a solution could be to change planes at an airport where I can exchange to Colombian pesos before I board the connecting flight. What airport in Europe could that be?

[QUOTE=Ricker;1152106]Is there a reason you can't use ATM machines in Colombia?[/QUOTE]To withdraw those amounts?

[QUOTE=Genghis Khan; 1152154]To withdraw those amounts?

GK[/QUOTE]Those amounts are in Colombian Pesos, nor EUR nor USD. The ATM at Davivienda charges no fees and you can take out 720, 000 in a clip.
