Cali Reports

[QUOTE=EdwardQ;2936440]Took a taxi to the Avenida 4 / Ave. 6 area because there are no ATM machines in San Antonio (or I haven't found them yet). Since I was on that side of town I thought I would check out Cyberworld. Like everyone, I was mystified as to where the front door was. I saw the photo in the previous post so I knew I had the right building. The only possible door says "6-10" on it. Black glass and no buzzer or door knob. I saw several men leaving. I caught the door and entered. Paid 7,000 COP for the pleasure of walking through the door and around the little booths. Fellas -- regarding the other business upstairs, there is no possibility of making a mistake and going up to the next floor where (supposedly) gay fun can be had, so don't worry, (not that there's anything wrong with that.) Two laps around the joint and decided it wasn't for me. About 20 girls in their underwear hanging around and mostly unattractive. The prices quoted was very cheap, though. You might find your angel, but I didn't. Went to Caras Lindas, which is about a two minute walk away. Got patted down by the first girl out of the shoot -- man, was that fun. There were six very hot girls on display but I went with the first one. What a hottie. I took her up to the room. Small, skinny, waif of a girl, from Cali, with tiny boobs and glasses, lots of tattoos and the biggest smile. Named Marilyn. Paid 130 k for the hour (it's cheaper if you do shorter time.) She was amazing. And, as I have said previously, a BBBJ can be had if the extra $$ is offered to the right girl. She was the right girl. In this case, it was 100 K extra. I paid it and it may have been the best BJ ever in my life. She kept going and going with no interest in stopping. Another tip and she allowed CIM, which was a bonus. We both left smiling. Went back to the Apt to rest then, later in the evening, I went to Bar Olympus. The guy said 29 girls were inside. Maybe more like 16. Others could have been back stage or working. A lot of guys so competition was fierce. Strange new thing was that while most of the girls were naked, about a third had lingerie on, which seemed very odd. Also, at one point a horn blows and the MC announces that the girls would be circulating to give free lap dances. Only the girls with underwear gave the lap dances (this might explain it) but a few stripped while giving the lap dance, pushing their bare hooches in the faces of drunk guys. So I'm still confused about the addition of underwear on the working girls. As usual, the prettiest girls were taken and all I could do was stare at them. I did have my chance with one or two of the girls, but I acted too slow. My advice is do not hesitate at Bar Olympus. The pretty girls will latch onto one guy or a group of guys and spend hours at the table... I don't know how the girls make their money, beyond the drinks they order. These hot girls could be doing 3 guys during the time I was there, but instead just sat at the table, drinking the booze that the guy bought. Don't get it. Anyway, I was not in the mood for an average F* with an average or below average girl, especially after the fabulous Caras Lindas experience, so I waited to see if one of the "tighter" looking girls would get free. They never did. The number of girls dropped to around 12 and I decided to go. Afterwards, I caught a cab to my favorite empanada lady and satisfied a different craving. I'll be trolling the area around Bar La 20 tonight. Also the other bar that was recommended, Son Sonero. But I'm hoping to find a cute spinner on the streets who will make my dreams come true. It's good to have options. Hasta luego, hermanos.[/QUOTE]Thanks for your very helpful reports.

I'll be heading back to Cali next month after a somewhat difficult first visit there back in March.

I intend to operate in a similar fashion to yourself so your information is interesting & much appreciated.

Thanks again.

Hi all, have been reading the thread and would appreciate some advice about Cali. Am going there for a month in November or December, been all over Colombia but never there, and speak good Spanish. I'm interested in some online women from [URL]mileroticos.com[/URL], visiting decent level clubs and maybe chatting up some regular girls too. See lots that take my interest in the downtown on YouTube walking videos, lots of curves!

I was thinking to stay in San Antonio just west of the downtown as seen a nice place to rent there. Nice area? Safe to walk into the centre from there? Only about 1. 5 Kms. Is there action at places like bar la 20 during the daytime? If so, safe to walk there then if in the downtown?

I've noticed that hardly any of the internet ladies work downtown, they all seem to be south and a few north of the centre, so maybe stay in the south instead? I don't fancy somewhere like El Ingenio though, 13 Kms from the downtown is not for me. Somewhere in between maybe. I'm not interested in the rappi lifestyle, up high in a condo and having chicas visit me.

I'm guessing that late November & December are the busiest and probably least safe time of the year to visit? Judging on my experiences from other cities in Colombia? As around Christmas, people being more desperate for cash etc.

I've looked at plenty of YouTube videos of just daily life in the centre, I don't see many cops or tourists around, but otherwise is it anymore dangerous there during daytime than say downtown Medellin? Also noticed barely any men walking around in shorts, is that frowned upon same as in Medellin and an obvious way to stand out as a tourist?

Is hailing a cab safe there in comparison to Medellin? Or better to get an Uber? I know it depends on the city.

I've heard the weather is a lot more unbearable than it looks from the stats, is that true? Medellin, Pereira etc weather is no problem for me, but I found Barranquilla far too hot (didn't even manage to stray more than a couple of Kms from my hotel), and there was a heatwave last time I was in Santa Marta in spring 2023 and just found it unpleasant. If it's that hot I'm not even that interested in women!

Can somebody please tell me where this area is, with all these bars & nightlife. Safe to go to there alone as a gringo who speaks good Spanish?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks a lot in advance for your advice![/QUOTE]I've been to Cali 15 times over the years. You have a lot of questions. I'll answer some of them. I'd stay in Granada, nice area safe to walk around and lots of restaurants and stores to shop also plus close to Avenida 6 where the action is. Bar La 20 opens about 2 pm every day. Cali is safe all year round. Just keep a heads up at all times. There are very few tourists in Cali, maybe 1 or 2. Not on the tourist trail in Colombia. Some English is spoken there. Nice and friendly people.

Where about's are these chica bars? On the same street / nearby Bar la 20 on Calle 20 or in another neighborhood? Thanks!

My plan was to enjoy Saturday night in the area around Bar La 20. I mean, it's Saturday night, right? Well. I got to the bar around 8:30. About 100 guys. No more than 15 girls. Disappointing. The two or three hottest were already sitting at tables with dudes. For some reason, there were more eyes on the televised soccer game than on the girl stripping on the stage. Sat for a while hoping more ladies would appear. They did not. Walked down the street to Sonero. Empty. Not even a doorman. I mean flat out no one there but a chubby lady dancing with an old man in the back. I stepped inside. Heard loud music. Walked in a bit to ascertain the situation. No girls. Ah, well. I walked down to Cra. 10, which is a busy main street with bars, restaurants -- all locals. No girls along that street, but a few were in the shadows along Calle 20 and 21. Older woman in front of Hotel Rey. And a few on the corner of Cra 8 and 20 (near Bar la 20.) Some were cute, but I was cautious after the last SW I picked up. You never know, really. Best to pause and chat up the girl to make sure she is cool. I usually do that, and have found amazing girls in this area, but you can still get fooled. A funny, happy, young girl was hopping around and agreed to go with me for 50 k. Room was 15 K. She agreed to BBBJ for 50 K more, but made a HUGE deal about not telling anyone that she broke the sacred rule amongst the SWs. It was comical to me, but she appeared serious. So, I felt good that I was able to talk her into it. Unfortunately, she had poor technique. Worst ever. Her attitude started out as fun, but then she became a clock watcher. She would not take off her top or shoes. Oh, no. Not again. Ended unpleasantly. She left in a rush, reminding me not to tell anyone she performed oral raw. I returned to Bar La 20 hoping to find a pro. And I did. Still only about 15 girls but even more men had arrived in the interim. I like the full-exposure show they put on up on the stage, about one stripper every half hour. They really get into it. I spotted a woman who looked a little like a Chinese girl I know back home. Her price was 120 K, which includes the room. Much nicer experience. Left satisfied and tipped 30. Returned to my empanada lady for a night cap. The taxi driver told me that there are fewer girls working the clubs any more. Hard to find talent, according to him. It must be true. Enjoyed Cali and I know that if I stayed longer, invested time, got phone numbers, I could find a nice harem of girls to work with. Three days is not enough. Love this city. Off to Bogota tomorrow.

Edward -- Son Sonero closes at 8 pm, sounds like you got there too late. 4 pm is a good time to go, usually good selection of chicas at that time. Bar La 20 closes at 10 pm.

[QUOTE=Coupe66;2936831]Thanks, and Calle 19 and Cra 8 also have Chica bars?[/QUOTE]There's only 1 bar at Calle 19 and Cra 8, that's Son Sonero.

[QUOTE=Coupe66;2936831]Thanks, and Calle 19 and Cra 8 also have Chica bars?[/QUOTE]The centro area is a big redlight district technically all the bars in the area are "chica bars" in the sense that you can sit down have a drink then make an arrangement with a girl in a room upstairs or at one of the many love hotels in the area.

It depends on what you're looking for read Ed Q's reports he found girls downtown but at that price point it's hard to get a decent BBBJ unless a girl wants to give it to you.

For me personally the juice of cheap pussy isn't worth the squeeze in Centro or even Cyberworld. Everyone loves value but according to Edward Q the decent BBBJ's where at Caras Lindas and Bar la Vienre not centro girls and Cyberworld.

Far be it from me to tell a guy how to spend their money but if you want to go to Centro the main times to go is late afternoons toward evenings when the daytime vendors go home Coming during Novermber or Decemeber is running into Christmas season so it may be raining a lot and more people will be with their families but any of the bars will be fine with chicas of varying quality wandering in an out The quality and attractivenesss goes from Bar La Veinte at the high end then Son Sonero then down from there with the lowest being the street girls on the side streets.

San Antonio is too long to walk to Centro for most people and even Granada is kind of a good distance away.

Keep in mind Centro is extremely dangerous at night but it depends on how you define dangerous I've been down there when I used to meet people to show them around but I left when the girls told me it was dangerous and I watched the Motos carefully. In all my years of living there I wouldn't hang out at the bars there myself do what you want.

If I were a drinking Man I'd say go to Carrera 66 in the south just to drink and mingle especially if you're fluent in Spanish and hit te nearby Ingenio spas.

Or if you wanted to try the basic budget chica bars I'd live in Grenada as close to Avenida sexta as I could and try the centro chica bars before say 8 pm.

That being said there's safer more upscale bars all over the city some in El Piloto on Calle 2 There's a Map that lists several places and several more have been mentioned on the forum.

Hope this Helps.

Trip.

Speaking about chica bars in that area, there's also Bar La 20 #2, its across the street from #1. But there never seems to be very many chicas in the place, not much to choose from. Used to be a bar called Gardenia. Or something like that. A few doors down from #2, but it closed a few years ago.

But to answer the other guys question I'd say most of the bars in that area have hookers working out of them just like all the hotels in that section of San Nicholas has hookers working out of them.

Personally I'm not a fan but to each is own.

[QUOTE=Coupe66;2937102]Do you mean there are online hookers working out of those hotels in San Nicholas, or they hang around in front of them etc?[/QUOTE]The hookers in the love hotels are mainly Venezuelan illegal migrants and low bottom street walkers that you'd see in any country last time I was down there the closer they were to Bar 20 the better they looked. They were there catching guys that were on their way into Bar 20 I forgot the name of the other Main street with decent lighting but those girls because of the better lighting look better. BUT YOU BETTER CHECK ID's because they may not be appropriate. The ones on the back streets with poor lighting are there for a reason and they might not be born women.

But again whatever floats your boat.

I seen that Roy King video and although it's generally correct there's a little staging going on, There's not that many women out during the daytime when normal business is happening and even less during rainy periods so don't count on women looking that nice around San Senero but the quality and apearence of women is better on Calle 20 near Bar 20 on the other Main street and occasionally around the Hotel Del Rey.

But I want to warn you unless you're a bargain basement monger who cares about pricing above everything else including getting what you came for or your own safety I would implore you especiall if you're new to mongering or new to Colombia or New to Cali to avoid dealing with streetmeat there As Baybaoy said Son Senaro is oly a few pesos more with the safety of being in a controlled environment. If you get scammed by the Street walker in San Nicolas DO NOT ARGUE because you have no idea who they know there's guys that you think may not be paying attention to them who are watching be careful.

Hope this Helps.
