Cartagena Reports

[QUOTE=Java Man; 1508228]Yesterday afternoon, I went to Playa Hollywood. It was crowded, perhaps due to the time of year, only saw about 9 chicas. Lots of other Latinas were accompanied. Also there were a lot of families and regular folk. Not what I was expecting. Also did not meet the infamous Tony Montana. Tout recommended by another forum member pointed out the available babes. Introduced to a 24yr old Stunner, probably the best looking babe at the time. Near GFE back at the Hotel. Savored the time with her. Overpriced, but well worth, the 300K. (Was expecting a 100K. 200K rate.) She stated she was returning home next week, to be with family over Christmas. I get a feeling, most of the girls will be doing the same thing. Sunday, is supposedly the best beach day. I'll see.

Old Parr: The stunner said, Elektra was being remodeled and would reopen in Jan. The tout said it was closed due to drug use in the club and would NOT reopen. (Drug use in a Colombian Club! I'm Shocked!) Wait and see, I guess.[/QUOTE]Probably one of the reasons you paid 300k instead of 100 or 200k was that the tout got a healthy cut of that money, during the day it is best to camp a while on Playa Hollywood and shop around if you want to get the best price, personally though sometimes it is nice for convenience sake to just pay the price and get introduced to the hottest babe on the beach without having to shop around.

[QUOTE=Hillbilly69;1507241]All the action is in front of the Clock Tower. Dozens there at times, I saw girls there even by day and the moment it gets dark they were moving in. At one point it looked like musical chairs with girls coming in and leaving with somebody by the second it seemed.[/QUOTE]Hi Hillbilly69, how are you? When you say in "front of the clock tower" are you referring to the area outside on the sidewalk / plaza where the taxis pull up, or inside the Plaza de Coches? Also wanted ask why Elektra was not on your map, is it because of its being closed before, I just read a post that said that it was remodeled and open again.

I took Elektra down as it was closed while I was there, it reopened the day after I left. Figured I would read it after I got back in a few weeks. Alot of action at the clock tower, saw girls there every time I walked by at all times of day but right at dark they start coming in in droves.

[QUOTE=Hioctane;1510950]Supposedly it opened last Tuesday. I went Saturday night. It was hopping. More than Dolce. It's a lot brighter than before and they play crossover music now. Cover for guys was 20k and girls was 10k and you get a 10k drink ticket. Was it that high before? I went with a couple of chicas that I knew from Dolce. They ended bringing their posse. They wanted me to pay their cover. 50k. I was kinda pissed but I put it toward a bottle which I was planning to get anyway so it wasn't too bad. 120k for a big bottle of vodka (132k with mixer). Danced the night away with 5 chicas so it wasn't all bad.[/QUOTE]I was there and I experienced the whole opening Ordeal.

Monday 16 daytime: workers inside, we open tonight.

Monday 16 evening: opening cancelled, puticas and vendors in Plaza del Reloy didn't have a clue.

Monday 16 (ooops, Tuesday 17 already) 2am: open! Open but empty. 10 waiters in uniform waiting for people in the street. 3am: some people coming. I had nice time with two girls met in the plaza. I brought them there, because they did not suspect it was open.

Tuesday etc: open, open, open! (but I left on Wed morning. I am still depressed)

[QUOTE=Hioctane;1510456]I was searching high and low in Cartagena and Medellin for generic Cialis. They don't make it yet! Real Cialis (with hologram) costs the same as in the States.[/QUOTE]This is consistent with what I know. I buy my year supply of generic Sildenafil in Colombia, but I never found any generic C or L.

[QUOTE=Zippy;1510245]The new name of this new place is called "Paprika." You heard it here first, folks.[/QUOTE]Elektra will be always "Elektra" in my heart. Sorry I cannot switch to the new name.

[QUOTE=Black Page;1511083]This is consistent with what I know. I buy my year supply of generic Sildenafil in Colombia, but I never found any generic C or L.[/QUOTE]Generic Cialis is sold in other parts of the world though, the generic name is tadalafil.

[QUOTE=Hillbilly69;1511046]People call it different names, Plaza the Coches is correct, I call it the clock tower, had a friend call it Tu Candelas, he is referring to out in front of it. I took Elektra down as it was closed while I was there, it reopened the day after I left. Figured I would read it after I got back in a few weeks.

For like 100 K. But she was the one that when we were in the taxi on the way to why apartment in El Laguito, the cops waved our taxi to the side at one of those check points and then pulled me out of the car and frisked me? Lucky for me I never fool around with any candy or smoke. But I thought it was odd

The whole city with few exeptions. A great way to Recon areas and routes

Like this is the benches in front of Tu Candelas where I picked up this chica.

Thanks for the info and I like your way of thinking. Freelance is definitely my preference, just didn't see much of it in Medellin so I was preparing myself for that type of scene in Cartagena or Cali. I'll be sure to reach out for those directions when I book my trip. Appreciate it.

[QUOTE=Mojo Bandit; 1510996]I have never been to Cali, but I thought I would throw my two cents in because I have made a few trips to Cartagena.

If it is proximity you want, then Cartagena is good. But you say hotel. I say you should think "Apartment"! You say "casa", I say you should think "freelance". But if you are into the casa scene, thats fine too. Now let me tell you how to decide for yourself if Cartagena has the proximity you desire. In the Colombia forum that this "Cartagena Reports" thread is in there is a thread called "Cartagena Lists", if you go to "Cartagena Lists" and you open it and you scroll down to the last entry made by Hillbilly69, at the bottom of that entry is a link that will take you to a custom made Google map and you can see where Hotels, Apartments, Casas, and other places to find chicas.

My guess is that women are cheaper in Cali, but women travel from all over Colombia to Cartagena to sell their affections for money so that their family doesn't know, there are also local street walkers that are cheaper and less good looking but even some of them are hot. Between El Laguito, Boca Grande and The Historical Center. They are all a ten minute taxi ride apart, in theory if you go to Playa Hollywood during the day, and LDV at night, you could get laid twice a day and never leave El Laguito, the trick is to make sure you have a chica-friendly apartment or hotel. I always, these days, rent from the same guy in El laguito, an apartment on the ocean with a balcony and I pay about $90 dollars a night. You can find freelancers in many places other than LDV (La Dolce Vita is a discotecha that is nothing but freelance women, usually about thirty women ranging from 6s to 8s and 9s) almost always the women greatly outnumber the men so it is a buyers market. As of lately they have started a minimum drinking rule, so smart guys get there at about 11 to 11:45 pm and just wait outside for women to show up and catch them before they go in)

Basically you have 24 hour pussy like this: Playa Hollywood during the day, LDV in the night, and Elektra in the late night to dawn. Electra is not on th Hillbilly69 map (maybe because it has been open and closed a lot lately. Last word on the boards was it was open) but if you decide to go I will give you directions[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Hillbilly69;1511372]Wingman got searched first day he was there last trip and almost again same night, I haven't been searched yet.[/QUOTE]I'm curious to know if your wingman was with a Chica when he got searched, I wondering if that incident with the stupid secret service guys has had an impact on the way the police treat gringos with chicas? I was thinking that of all the times I had been through the checkpoints alone, I never got stopped.

I was searched and questioned many times, like at least once on each visit to Colombia (except this last one). Each time, after no more than 5 minutes, after they havd explored my pockets and examined documents, I received only big smiles and "welcome to Colombia". Nothing to worry, if you have done nothing wrong. Being with a girl is not a problem. Why should it be? You are not in USA. There, you can have a gun in your pocket, but if you are with a girl dressed too sexy, presumably a street girl, hmmmmm. TROUBLE!

The NYPD are also very professional, and I have the upmost respect for them, but the fact is that the NYPD use stop and frisk to keep out the rift raft. The policy has nothing to do with their level of professionalism, it has to do with not wanting rift raft. It also has to do with profiling. They say that the security check points were put in place because of Narcoterrorism and FARC, now I certainly do not look like anyone in FARC and I would hardly fit the profile for the average narcoterrorist. I didn't say anything about being harassed or being shook down (which is what unprofessional police do) I am saying that is possible that single white guys with prepagos are being profiled.
