2-day Trip Report in Cartagena
I just returned tonight from a 2-day getaway in Cartagena. I thought I would share this experience. I have visited here 6 or 7 times over the past 8 years.
Friday my flight from Miami arrived at 3:30 pm vs 1 pm and I didn't get to Hollywood Beach until 4:30 pm. The beach was pretty quiet. I got a chair from Harry (Harry Potter), who perhaps is an apprentice for Tony #1. He offered to find a girl and I said sure, he would call and someone would be there in 20 minutes. 25 minutes later he brings over a girl who was already there on the beach and I had seen her walk by. She was a 7 - 7. 5 and I wasn't feeling her so I quickly told her I was not interested. I left the beach after an hour, got some dinner and then I hit the clock tower area around 7 pm.
At 7:30 pm, I was walking around the clock tower area, outside of Tu Candela. There were a few girls there, some I wasn't sure if they were working or not. I saw 2 girls sitting together with 2 guys. I kept debating myself about whether they were working or not. One was very cute, perhaps an 8. 5 with long, dirty blonde hair and I nice tan. She was showing nice cleavage and a skirt that revealed some leg. Showing skin usually works for me when the body is nice. I had one doubt about how much her bra was creating cleavage and how much she had naturally, and this had me pause. After 25 minutes of observation, it was confirmed she was working as a guys came and went after talking to her. Was she asking too much? I had been in a gentlemen's club in Fort Lauderdale the night before and I was spoiled in knowing almost exactly what every inch of a girl looked like. I wish I could pay them $10, go in to bathroom with them for 3 minutes to see them undressed. I was probably too picky for this one and someone else pulled the trigger before I spoke to her.
My preference when visiting Colombia is for a 18-23 year-old, 8 or better in looks with a very nice body. I find most women 24+ have too much mileage and are mechanical more often than not. Some of them really know what they are doing and put their skills and experience to great use. However, for the majority it seems I have not been successful in breaking them away from the clock-watching, mechanical nature of something they've done 100+ times. In my first few visits to Cartagena, I found some sweet, nearly innocent 18-22 chicas and lived a fantasy for a few days. Some were in there first 3-6 months of this part-time occupation and gave tremendous GFE with little attention on maximizing their $$/ hour.
Around 10 pm I had a taxi take me over to Pley Club which has been hit or miss for me in the past. My best experiences at Pley Club have been getting numbers from some girls and meeting them at the beach the following day for double the fun at half the cost. You may also get to see their body close up if they dance on stage while you are in the club. This time at Pley Club I didn't find one flaquita / skinny girl. Almost every girl had a big freaking butt, way too big for my liking. Some were surely unnaturally augmented, others were part of the package of big hips, silicone breasts and long hair. Yes they were pretty, but I don't want any girl who is over 140 lbs. Some where 150 or 160 lbs, plus. Some of these girls could play lineman in the NFL. LOL. Some guys may love this size girl, maybe Colombian men or other tourists. I like Playboy magazine shaped women and then prefer petite over full-figured women. I left PC after 30 minutes and went to LDV.
At La Dolce Vita, there was a good crowd of girls, 25, guys 5-10. In time it picked up to 40 girls and may 15-20 guys. The chicas were attractive, however most were 25+. I only say 2-3 that I thought were 23 or below. There was a very hot young blonde girl, sexy attitude, sexy dancing and sexy dress who was dancing a lot. She was with a group of friends that gathered around a table of 5 Canadian's or Europeans. Blondie was a 9 and she was the best thing there IMO. There was another chica who I saw walking in. She looked 20, nice body, small breasts and she was with the group of girls around blonde and the Canadians. I talked to her outside and her name was Cindy. She was 26, even though looked 21. She has a small business in another city and had started visiting Cartagena occasionally to save money to expand her boutique business. She was the closest thing available to my preferences and I selected her. She asked for 200 K / hour. I started to negotiate for more time or 2-3 hours for a better rate and she got defensive. I accepted the price and told her she could earn a bonus 50 K if she was very affectionate. She turned out to be pretty fair. Nice body, friendly but not overly affectionate. Interestingly she asked me to turn down the lights when she got naked. She also was shy about her A-be cup breasts. I told her I picked you because I thought you were one of the prettiest women. I could of picked a fat, ugly girl if I knew I was going to turn the lights down. Most of the girls she was with had implants. It surprised me how clearly attractive girl (an 8) didn't see herself as that attractive. I think Colombian culture and advertising has set high expectations for Colombian women. She was a nice, pretty girl, though not a GFE and I did more to please her than she did to please me. She didn't get the 50 K bonus but I did get her 10 K for a cab and hour and 15 minutes after she arrived.
I got a 2nd wind after this girl and decided to go out again at 1:45 am, much to the dismay of night guard at Hotel Mary. I stayed at Hotel Mary for 57,000/ night (about $23 USD) with a 20 K guest fee. This is a small basic hotel close to Olympica. I tried a few others and they were booked and or wanted $80/ night. I've done well staying at the hotels near Olympica (and I like have 24-hour access to groceries). The exchange rate is 2517 CP to 1 USD right now, the best I've ever seen it. It was 1850 CP /1 USD when I visited here 3 times in 2008. With my 2nd wind I went to Tu Candela. 10 k entry fee with a coupon for a drink. I saw perhaps no working girls in there as it appeared to be mostly couples and friend dancing. Outside were some girls, however many didn't look so good.
One thing that was very present to me on this trip was the overall look of health and well-being of the chicas. You could say that inside La Dolce Vita you have your Tier1, Tier2 and Tier3 girls. Tier 1 are the prettiest, hottest bodies and best-dressed. Tier 2 are maybe pretty and well-dressed, but not as attractive. Tier 3 is average looking clothes and maybe average looking body or face or maybe 32+ years old. Then outside La Dolce Vita there are Tier 3 and Tier 4 girls. Many of them are older and / or less attractive. I hope that gives you the general idea. Many of the girls outside Tu Candela and around the clock-tower looked street-worn to some degree. Staring into their eyes, I did not get a comfortable and relaxed feeling. Often I thought they didn't look well, or peaceful or happy. I wasn't inspired to spend any time with them and truly did not at all feel comfortable to be around them or talk with them. Often I would pretend not to speak Spanish to avoid conversation. There were some girls in the area that were better dressed, finer makeup and personal hygiene. My overall thoughts on the trip were that it is like a fishing trip. Sometimes you go fishing and there a little or no fish to be found, or are not the type of fish that you want to catch biting on your bait. Other times you go fishing and there are schools of beautiful fish easy to catch and very little skill is required to get great quality. If I compare what makes one trip better than another trip and even one country better than another country it really comes down to if during that week I visited, was a lot of quality fish to be caught? Sometimes one special girl can make a trip. Other times, it is 3-5 girls who perhaps each have some piece of everything I am looking for. I thought the fishing on this trip was decent, there was a fair quantity and some good quality. Most of the prettiest women were 25-32 and looked quite familiar with the game.
On Saturday I went to the beach at 11:30 am. I got a chair and umbrella and talked with Harry. While talking Tony #1 invited himself over, invited himself to sit down beside me and tell me how great he was. I'm thinking "What a freaking asshole, go away and give me some peace!" Perhaps in the USA I would say that to him, but he does seem to have influence at the beach and a decent rolodex of chicas, and that is what brought me to the beach. He showed me some pictures on his phone. He boasted about each one, "flat stomach, no bambinos". He really is one of the worst and most repulsive salesperson's I've dealt with. I've seen him in the past but always walked by him because I didn't want to pay the price of interacting with him. Today, I paid the price. With just a 2-day trip, I didn't have the time to search out on my own. After boasting of several chicas, he apparently made some calls and this 23 yo blonde named Camila from Cali showed up. My first impression was she was not the one (I had asked for a smaller build girl with long brown hair). Camila sat down and as I was just about to say no, she smiled in a very sexy, cat-like way. She also had a top that showed very nice cleavage. Oh what could it hurt to sit and stare at cleavage for 15 minutes? And I think she was the only working girl on Playa Hollywood at that moment. Camila looked 19-20, had very soft and lightly tanned skin, acted young (somewhat immature) but was very relaxed and playful. She was sweet, had been in Cartagena for a month and seemed up for a party (whether that was drinking / smoking / sex or any combination of those things). I spent 45 minutes talking with her and getting to know her before taking her back to my place. We agreed to a fair price with no time limit. She came back to my hotel and we had a great time talking / kissing / making love and napping. She was very passionate and GFE. One of the best things about her was she really enjoyed sex and her turn-on, fueled my turn on. I showered and got dressed for dinner and just before heading out the door for dinner we had another session because she wanted one. Who am I to refuse a beautiful women who wants me to take her right now?
Camila had breast implants, butt implants, hair extensions and possibly colored contact lenses. I would swear she had blue-green contacts but she kept denying it. I asked her some about her hair extensions and implants. She denied the butt implants but it seemed pretty clear to me. They felt kind of like breast implants, firm and fixed. They looked find but seemed obvious the way breast implants can be on some girls. She asked not to squeeze too hard because it hurt. Again here seemed to be another beautiful young women who's own self-image was not very good. She had augmented several parts of her body and preferred not to talk about it. I have more to learn about Colombian women and their culture beliefs about appearance. Pretty much any girl that makes it into my bed is hot and has a body to be damn proud of. She was an 8. 5 and had a very passionate and playful personality. I took her to a good open-grill restaurant for dinner and then let her go. She got kind of clingy. If she would have relaxed and given me 2-3 hours off, I likely would have sessioned with her again. I don't think she wanted to accept "the party ending" and wanted to punish me by not giving me her number so I could call her later. One of the last things she said to me is "I want you right now". "Well give me your number and I'll call you after I get some rest. No. " I wanted a few hours rest & to feel free and consider other options (though still an 80% chance I would be back with her again.).
To complete my Tony #1 experience, he walked up as we were eating dinner outside in Laguito. I think his visit here was about getting paid from the girl. She had stepped away before he visited and perhaps even called him. He asked for a tip for setting him up with the girl. I told him I know how it works and he gets paid from the girl. Tony pressed more for a tip and I gave him a definite no (with "Hell No!" in my intonation).
Saturday night I went around to La Dolce Vita, clock tower, outside Tu Candela. Talent was not as good as Friday night. There still were some decent girls, 7. 5's or 8. 0's (though 27 yo or older). I saw 2 pretty girls in LDV but they had so much facial makeup on that I decided to pass.
Yes I am uptight about what chicas I like and certainly I'm a beauty snob, but I make the trip to please myself and I enjoyed this 48-hour adventure. Thanks to everyone for sharing your various reports and I hope you find value and / or enjoyment from this report.
Day 1 in Cartagena, day 3 of trip
After a day / night in Panama and a day / night in Barranquilla, we (my buddy Biff Dangler from Panama and I) woke up searching for a bus to Cartagena. From Barranquilla we called one of the door to door private buses. We called the MarSol bus and it picked us up. The problem is that it makes more stops than expected and the 2 hour ride took over 3 hours. Taking the public buses takes even longer.
We arrived in Cartagena and checked into our apartment we rented on AirBnB in Getsemani. It was within walking distance to everything and cost $80 per night. No doorman or staff, so no worries about bringing chicas up.
We spent the day barhopping and exploring the old city. By 10 pm on this Saturday night the chicas were starting to flow into the clock tower area. Most of them sit at the benches across from Tu Candela and near Donde Fidel. We went into Bar Tu Candela a little after 11 pm. It was packed, but it looked like date night. We saw no available chicas.
After returning to the plaza we started chatting with the chicas in the area. We were a little underwhelmed with the selection for a Saturday night. There were maybe 20 girls at max in the plaza. The hotter ones were standing alone, but we decided to pick a pair because we always get better experiences by taking friends back and not two girls who may hate each other.
We saw 0 obvious mongerers or gringos there looking for chicas in the plaza.
We agreed to terms with two chicas to pay them 100 k each. That is $39.15 each. They both agreed to stay for over an hour. We took a taxi back to our apartment and had our own little party. Salsa music, a bottle of rum, Aguilas, and much more.
The girls were not the best looking, but were probably a 7 and a 6. They both gave BBBJ and let us hammer them in any position we wanted. Overall it was a good night.
We met an interesting guy in the plaza. His name is David. He dresses a little like an American and speaks perfect English. He said he spent a lot of time in Miami. He can help you find anything you need. He is a local hustler, but seems to be a great guy. He usually wears a NY hat and is probably about 5'8 and 160 lbs. He was not aggressive at all and gave us lots of great information.
Trip report, 5 days in Cartagena
Just returned from Cartagena. Had a real good time, and did a lot of sightseeing as it was my first visit. There is much to see in five days. I leave it to you to check out tripadvisor on the web for tourist tips. Here I will cover the important items. Hotels and girls.
Hotels.
I stayed at the very nice Hampton by Hilton. In Bocagrande district, one block from the beach, 15 minute taxi to the old city. Super place all around, not too costly, comfy, great food, wifi, etc. Great staff. Perfect spot for a base to explore Cartagena. Now, it is chica friendly as the lobby is in the 16th floor. You can take a girl right up the elevator to your floor. No one sees you.
Girls.
But I did not bring a lady back as you will learn. First night. Nice dinner at crepes and waffles two blocks away. 8 pm. I hail a cab, say take me to la dolce vita! We get there and it's dark, and I say WTF. The cabbie says it opens at 11 pm. Great. In Spanish, he does not habla ingles, I say take me to the chicas. He says he knows a place. The first casa sucked. Five nasty dark skinned ladies. Nope. Don't recall the name. I say try again. Off we go, another 15 minute ride, and bingo. Land at casa Rosario. The place is great. Against one wall are seated eight hotties, light skin, dolled up. Cool. The cabbie hangs out, and I sit near a girl. A cutie, she explains in Spanish. 150.000 pesos to bonk on site ($75). Or, $100 bar fine for a take out and $300 to the girl for TLN. I say, $75 please! No way I will risk a TLN with a girl I don't know.
I pick out a 10 of course. Medellin cutie, 24, model looks, blonde, bolt ONS. We drink some beers, I pay the 150000' we head to her room for a bonk. She is a 10. But a 6 in bed. More beers, I pay the bar tab, my cabbie takes me back to Hampton. He wants 100000. $40. Fine. He took me to the best place, I got the kicks, he got me home safe, from a terrible neighborhood. I did not get killed and that is worth $40.
Next night dinner in the old city. Call my taxi guy. He takes me back to casa Rosario and hangs. This time I pick a 7. Blonde, built, cute, fun as hell, from Medellin. You see a pattern? All the babes are from Medellin. Beers, tequila shots. Pay the 150000 then wild bonking ensues. Pay the bar tab and cabbie brings me home.
Next night repeat. I'm in the old city, ring my cab guy. You need a cell!, he takes me back for another go at the fun chick. 7 looks. But wild in bed, great time. We swap whatsapp numbers. Chicks there are crazy about this app.
So, this casa was fun. Safe inside, good staff, hot Medellin babes. Get your taxi guy to wait or you might get stabbed. Not a good neighborhood. And don't try to find it yourself either.
Enjoy. Bat out.
