Cartagena Reports

Hi guys,

Occasional lurker here. First, I would like to thank you for all the great information being provided here, it's really appreciated.

Now to the question part. In a few months I'm going to have a 4-5 day window for some fun before continuing with the other part of my trip and I'm having some difficulties with my decision making. I'm that type of guy who likes to hit the club or a similar scene and feel the vibe and then go from there rather than using facebook, escort sites, casas etc. Nothing against it, it's just not my first choice. Having read the reports here, it is my conclusion that only Cartagena and Medellin fit the bill with Medellin being a less appealing option because of the ridiculous prices being quoted at places like Gusto and everything that goes with it. I didn't even bother reading about Bogota because I like warmer climate and it seems like Cali doesn't have what I'm looking for.

So I guess I'm asking the more experienced people here if my assessment is correct and should I go with Cartagena or am I overlooking something?

Thanks.

At Panther32: Yes, for Cartagena, at least there are couple hooker clubs.

Overall, Medellin is much cheaper than Cartagena (hotels, restaurants, girls).

However, mongering in Cartagena is also much easier. Then, I would suggest you to go to Cartagena, but read here first, as much as you can. [I]Adelante, Panther, con juicio![/I]

Thanks guys.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Without a doubt CTG fits your needs. There are two main clubs { Space, La dolce Vita } perfect for what you want. Also a bonus for you is the clock tower action. As far as you like warm weather then CTG fits the bill.

Cartagena was an amazing city of fantasies and illusions. I am in my early forties, Hispanic with good Spanish (conversational), with knowledge of Colombia (been to Medellin a few times). I did my research prior to going (thanks board) and even did Tinder (my opinion on that later). Even with all this preparations, I still made some miscues and mistakes that I learned some lessons if I would return. But overall, I had a great time and would probably repeat (though probably a shorter weekend trip).

Day One Wednesday.

I booked the trip for about a week (September 18-24) arriving wed and leaving the following Tuesday. This was my first solo trip (been with friends before). I was contacting women on Tinder getting ready for my arrival. A 6 am flight out of NYC and layover in fort Lauderdale. On the second leg of the trip, I made friends with a pilot who decided on a whim to jump on board and check out Cartagena. He has never been to Colombia at all and didn't even have a hotel lined up. So we made friends and I decided to help him translate and help him to the to the walled city. So we took a taxi together and dropped him off. Then I checked into my spot and the place was sweet. Good security and great views of the city from the balcony. First mission was to get a Claro sim card for my Colombian phone so did that. I also got supplies (food, drinks, booze, Colombian Cialis and Colombian Viagra). Once I got back I reached out to some girls that I made contact on tinder and one got back to me, a Venny Andreina which I made a cita for next morning. I tried to rest a bit before going out knowing that the fun don't kick off until after 11 pm but this pilot was WhatsApping me and giving me updates about drinking and the girls are hot. So I napped about an hour before getting ready. Once out, I felt the anticipation in the air, not knowing what to expect, if the clock tower is all that is cracked up to be or how is LDVs as many have mentioned. I got there after 10:30 pm to meet up with the pilot dude from drinks and food. As I walked into the clock tower, I saw a small sampling of what was to come. A hot girl was there and I decided to get her number but no partake just yet because I wanted to look at all my options. Met up with the pilot dude, bounced to a few regular bars before finally heading to LDVs. Now this was a Wednesday night and I been to a DR (Punta Cana), Costa Rica (2008 and 2009 in San Jose) and Medellin. I have never seen a place with so many beautiful women of all shapes, kinds and sizes ready to party. I was like a kid in a candy store. And it was packed! The pilot was stunned and overwhelmed actually (in the end of the night decided not to partake with any woman WTF? I looked around and found a few that were good, got their numbers. Now my ideal woman is chiquita pero grandota (petite but curvy) and I ended up with Samantha (my type with a face of Demi Lovato but ridiculous bolt ONS) we vibe right away. We settled on 150 k with 20 k for taxi and we head back to my spot. We got to my place, have some drinks, play some music, chat it up. Then we head over to the bed where she tries a cover BJ and I was like no. I ended up having to pay 50 more and then it was all good. Sex in a bunch of positions (doggie CG mish) and was great. We spend about 2 hours until the 4 Am curfew hits in my building, got her number and she was on her way and I finally got some rest.

Day Two Thursday.

After a good first night, I woke up to construction in the building way to early to my liking. I woke up feeling I needed a bit more. So I messaged Andreina to do a morning session. She promptly responded and we negotiate 150 k + 20 k for taxi and she was on her way. It took over an hour to arrive and we WhatsApp video chat to make sure she looks like her photos. She arrives and we relax a bit, chat and some music. The we start on the couch DFK and lots of grabbing. Some the clothes come off and we make our way to the bedroom. She promptly goes bbj, and works it well. Boobs are real, big soft and perky, butt is firm, I am enjoying all of this. She starts cowgirl and we switch multiple positions until we finish. Then a lot of cuddling at the end, total GFE. She leaves about 2 hours. I meet up with my new pilot friend for some lunch. He told me he got a girls number the night before and made a date with her for the evening. So after hanging out a bit we part ways for him to get ready for his date while I recover for the evening. A bit after 9, my phone is blowing up and I was like wtf. It was the pilot and said that his girl has a girl for me. He sent me photos and she was pretty but not what I was looking for. I get ready for night 2 and head out. I meet the pilot and the date at a club killing time before LDVs gets good. Things are cool until I ask him, what is this price of this date. He was like, I didn't ask. And I said, you need to negotiate everything in advance before doing this. But he was already here so I left it at that. I say my goodbyes before the girl asks me if I want to join them. I was like hell no (some kinda of a freak) and I was on my way. The pilot asked me what happened and I was like nothing, enjoy you night. I head to the clock tower to check the talent and there was plenty. I got a bunch of numbers but decided to go to LDVs to see the party. Lots of girls again (it's like this every night incredible! I talked to a few of them but finally and fairly late settled with a Paisa named Natalia. I didn't pull the trigger right away because she didn't want to do BBJ without a condom and wanted 200 k but in the end decided that it was getting late, we were vibing, and had a body I wanted to see her naked. We get back to my spot and we start chilling and drink and dancing and laughing. All of a sudden we are hitting the cerfew of the building 4 am (more on this later) and we are like we got to fuck. We get naked in a hurry and try to go at it but I don't know got into me but we both start just laughing out of the silliness of us hurrying. She had an amazing body all natural amazing tits. Unfortunately we have sex but I really can't my member to perform, probably from the earlier session with Andreina and us rushing and laughing. I never had that happened to me. Security comes and we leave the session as that, saying we can meet another time. And then escorted her down and sent her on her way.

Day 3 Friday.

I woke up the next day with the similar sounds of construction and a bit of frustration that I didn't quite finish our session last night. The 4 am curfew is a bit annoying especially if we were still vibing. Anyways, I get a bunch of messages from my pilot friends saying his date stayed all night. Sounds like a good time. Then he calls me and says she wants his 90 bucks in American dollars plus 300 k. He asks me to talk to her and there isn't much to talk about because he didn't negotiate the price ahead of time. After they are done, I tour the old city for a bit and get lunch. Andreina is messaging me asking for another session, sex in the balcony, and because I had a great previous session and didn't finish the night before but was on the fence. In the meantime, I walk over to playa Hollywood to check out what is going on. By this time it's about its mid afternoon and I don't see much. I got approached by a few touts, one guy I forgot his name (not tony, though a tony Montana did come up to me). I saw it was limited and I told him I could come back Saturday earlier and set something up with the 100's of ladies I saw in his phone. Then I decided to pull the trigger on Andreina and asked her to come over. Unfortunately, thinking she would be by in about an hour, she had to go through rush hour traffic and arrived at my place like 7 pm. We had a fantastic session, sex on the balcony, bedroom, balcony again to finish. By the time our session ended it was 8:30. I was drained figuratively and literally. But took a short nap, got ready and went out. Met with the pilot,(final night for him) and hung out with him a bit. He said he was exhausted and didn't even want to go to LDVs. So we part ways. I head to LDVs and Friday night is rocking. I see the girl my pilot buddy had, said a quick Hello, and moved on. I saw Samantha (night 1) and had this hot girl friend. I asked her about her friend and she was like she doesn't BJ without a condom. Damn these girls are ruthless! I was in the mood for something different, not the super curvy girls I have been with so far. A Venny named April (looked like Zoe Saldana but much hotter with a great athletic body) caught my attention and we had good back and forth banter but couldn't agree on price and services. I go around and I see this short angelic kinda of looking girl named Maria. I start chatting it up with her and she all of a sudden turns very devilish. Certainly got my attention. We start negotiating services when she suddenly throws her friend in for a threesome for eventually 400 k. Her friend was super petite but also good looking. I had a previous threesome on another trip and it was not all that it was cracked up to be. But I thought, they know each other and maybe it will be a better experience. Against my intuition and my better judgement (I had Andreina a few hours earlier) we agreed and left. So we get back to the apartment and start the party, music drinks and they promptly get naked, twerking. Maria starts with a cover bbj going super hard, like rushing it. I processed to eventually stop her and quickly got her friend in CG position and starts riding me while Maria is playing with herself. I switched to doing Maria doggie style. She was petite but with a perfect ass. While all this is going on, her friend randomly catcalls during the entire session, distracting but fine. The threesome was going well but I couldn't finish. Then the hour hits and like clockwork, Maria and her friend stop. And I am like I didn't finish but apparently I ran into a clockwatcher and the session just ended. Disappointed, I just get them downstairs and send them on their way. She like call me and in my mind, Are you kidding? I go to sleep disappointed and my opinion on threesomes have not changed too much. Better than my last one but still a bit overrated.

Day 4 (Saturday).

I wake up and outside is pouring rain. I guess no playa Hollywood today. After the disappointment of the threesome previous night and it was Colombian valentine's day, I contact Natalia (Colombian Paisa with the slamming body) to make plans for the evening. We negotiate back and forth and decide 500 k for Todo la noche from early evening to the following day. I meet up with the pilot who is leaving for his flight. We quickly have breakfast and I introduce him to a pandebono. He then heads out to the airport and I make my way back to my apartment. After 3 days of partying day and night, I decide to slow it down and wait for my evening with Natalia. I end up doing jui jitsu and getting some well needed rest. I go to a barber shop to get ready for the evening and Natalia has some emergency with a friend of hers and has to cancel for the evening. I was at first disappointed but then I sent her a "yo no se mañana" song and I decide to get ready for whatever the night brings. I take a nap and proceed to get ready for the evening. I get to the clocktower at 10 ish and C D B/ Cteam of women there. I get a venny number Ana (alright) and I proceed to pregame at a bar. While at the bar, I get an unexpected text from Ana saying if I want to be with her. She doesn't have a passport and I was going to dismiss her. But I was like threw out 150 k and BBJ son condom. She agrees and knows a decent motel near by. So we meet up And get into a taxi and go. We go in and all of a sudden, in good light, she is not as attractive as I thought. Then she starts trying to do covered BJ. I told her that not what you agreed to do. She acts like she didn't get the messages. That's it, I have realized I made a mistake. I didn't even attempt to continue with the session. I just call the taxi, paid for the room and had an awkward taxi ride back to the clocktower. We quickly parted ways and now I am refocused on what I want for the evening.

Day 5 Sunday (starting Saturday night).

So after my uneventful detour, I finally make it to LDVs. I look around and say Hi to some of the girls I already know. I get a text from Natalia saying her friend is out of the emergency room but she is staying in with her and sends me some photos for proof. Whatever, I am already at LDVs. I decide to get a drink by the bar when some girls come in and I see her. We make eye contact and flashes me a big smile and walks towards the back. I move towards the back and walk by her at first and again flashes me a smile. I quickly use the restroom and walk back and start to talk to her. Her name is Nena and Paisa from Medellin. Oh man, she is going to be trouble because it exactly the girl I was looking for this entire trip. She was super friendly and fun so I invite her for a drink at the bar. We get drinks and she quickly downs her whiskey. We talk dance, and drink some more and rubbing all the right spots. So she says 300 k and at this point, my negotiation skills have been thrown out the window and I was like sure and off we go. We get back and she quickly goes through all my bourbon and we party and dance. We are vibing and having a great time. I start to take off her clothes and she has an amazing body. We DFK and I start to work her body. Total GFE and just incredible. Afterwards we continue to party still having a great time when the curfew hits (5 am on sat). I am like, I don't want this to end, so we agree for her to hang with me all day Sunday for another 500 k. I go downstairs and all they have to do is change wristbands. If I knew this I would of just done this with Natalia. Oh well. Anyways we get some of her stuff from her place near by and we go back to my spot and finally pass out. We wake up to a good morning session. We get some late breakfast and then hang out all day drinking, smoking,(she is a bit of a weedhead), dancing, sex in the shower, and watching the sunset from the balcony. We had the most amazing Sunday and ordered dinner. After dinner, reality hits, she fets a call from a friend saying that she has a guy for her for work. And she told me she has to go because unfortunately even though she is having a great time, she is broke and needs to make money. Well that was a buzzkill to a great day. So I escort her out and plan what I should do for the rest of the night. During my day with Nena, I made and for Playa Blanca and Cholon on Monday and now I don't have anyone to go with. So I contact Natalia who is at LDVs and tells me to swing by. I get there and Sunday is definitely emptier than Saturday night, lots of women though not at the level as other nights. I meet Natalia and we get some drinks and start talking about Playa Blanca. I said get your stuff, stay over and we go together the next day. She quotes me 1000 k. I was like your out of your goddamn mind. She didn't go down that much so I told her let me think about it. I text Andreina about the playa trip and she is down and quotes me 250 k. I didn't even negotiate and was like done, show up before 9 and we go. In the meantime, Natalia is already talking to some dude and she comes up to me and ask if I was going to be with her. I told her no, I found alternative plans and she took off with the guy. Funny thing, I am still at LDVs just hanging out drinking and chatting it up that about 20 minutes later Natalia is back. Man she works fast. I decide to pass on taking any girl out that night, go back get some rest and get ready for the beach.

Day 6 (Monday).

I get up around 8 am to start getting ready for the beach. Andreina hits me up and lets me know she is on her way. I hired a taxi to take me to playa blanca and check out some of the islands including Cholon. I meet up Andreina and the taxi arrives soon after and we are on our way. The trip is about an hour and pur driver was knowledgeable about where to go. We arrive and we got to a restaurant on the beach to rent chairs and beers. Our taxi driver talks to do and helps us get a speedboat to tour the islands. We get on board and go tour a few of the islands and check out Cholon. Cholon was OK (it was Monday afternoon.) My girl and I are just enjoying the views and each other (unfortunately to many people around for some island sex). We make it back have lunch and enjoy the beach. We head back and end up at the apartment. We start making up for the day, and start our party. Unfortunately, I am hit with my kryptonite, a stinky puss, and that just kills my mood and pretty much ends the session. I pay Andreina and send her on my way. I am thinking how am I going to end my last night in Cartagena. I decide to message Nena. She tells me, after she left, she got ready, laid down for a second and then passed out (not sure how much I believe that but oh well). Anyway she excited to talk to me and we negotiate what we can do. I tell her it's my last night and I want to celebrate my birthday before heading back. We end up agreeing that she could come over and we have a pregame session and after that if she needs to go and do her thing, we can part ways and agree to 250 k. So she gets ready and video chats while getting her hair done. About an hour later she is downstairs and want to be called up instead of me getting her. I talk to the front and when she walks in, she has surprised me by bringing her super model and best friend Paola. Tall and drop dead gorgeous. She is like surprise! Now this is a birthday gift! We all hang out and get the party started. We drink, smoke and have a great time. Paola starts modeling her lingerie, (she apparently has her own company). She just broke up with her boyfriend and is pissed off at him. Good for me, so Poala proceeds to a BJJ while I am DFK Nena and sucking on her boobs. We all pause in between for a drink when Paola gets a call and lets us know she has to go. She leaves and Nena and I decide to not go out and stay in and finish what we started. We continue on the balcony DFK, sucking and DATY, move ti the bedroom and hit several positions until finishing in doggie. We continue to drink and party until 6 am.

Day7. Tuesday.

I wake up and try for a morning session but Nena is hungover and not feeling well. I try to pack in a hurry while getting her ready to leave. I pay 500 k total for the night, and I get Nena a taxi, a final hug and kiss and she is gone. I finally pack and on my way to the airport. Some annoying issues at the airport but finally flying back to reality.

Final thoughts.

Cartagena was a lot of fun. Everything is located close and very easy to find whatever your looking for. The Venezuelans I found more willing to do more than the Colombians (some a harden pros) but YMMV. With the clocktower and LDVs always rocking, you really don't need Tinder (though I found Andreina that way). A better way I think is just get all the girls number and contact them during the day. Friday and Saturday are prime time nights so might end up paying a bit more those nights (though I didn't negotiate Saturday with Nena and I am ok with that). I could of avoided a few situations but you live and learn. Depending on how had you like to party, a week might be good or an extended weekend might be better. I need to check out Cholon on a Friday or Saturday. Cartagena is definitely more expensive than Medellin but I knew that going in (still far cheaper than NYC and even CR). I do like that fact that you party at your own place and can set the atmosphere the way you like it vs a Casa or strip club. But Cartagena is also definitely a tropical party atmosphere vs Medellin which is metropolitan. Also unfortunately, even though I was staying in front of playa Hollywood, I didn't partake which next I would try ay least one. I would do Cartagena given the opportunity again.

even though I was staying in front of playa Hollywood, [/QUOTE]Great report, glad you had fun. I have two questions. First question: where did you find Bourbon? Do you call all whiskey bourbon? I am originally from Kentucky and I look for bourbon everywhere I go. Did not see any in Colombia. Did not do a thorough search either. Nothing personal if you call whiskey bourbon but I am curious. The second question; did the building you stayed in have the initials HD?

Good for you. I see many reports where a guy has a bad session, and he just continues on. I feel two things are important when mongering. They are time, and leche. Most of the time your trip is not of a long duration so why waste your time, and leche on a bad choice you have made. Concerning the leche part when I was 20 years old that was not a consideration, but those days are long gone.

I remember one time in MDE I got a Chica in Mayorista for 20 K. I was so happy with the deal I had made till we got to the room, and she insisted on double condoms. I quickly paid her the 20 K,and went out again right away so I did not waste the leche on a sure dud.

BTW great trip report. Also concerning your pilot friend who ended up over paying because he did not set up the price in advance. Of all the rookie mistakes this is very near to being the top one.

[QUOTE=Lefeu;2383205] I have taken 20+ trips to Medellin and I have yet to set foot in that club.[/QUOTE]Same for me.

To be honest, curiosity after ISG made me searching for it at Lleras. Then, I have looked at it from outside <g , but I really never liked the girls I have seen going inside or coming outside. Not my cup of leche.

Not my cup of leche.[/QUOTE]During the year I was in Medellin, I went to Gusto once. I'd been heading through Parque Lleras on my way to grab a bus home and some guys I'd just met wanted to have a drink, then another.

After 3 drinks, 1 guy drags us into Gusto, because he knows everyone there. It was true. He was buddies with every bartender, waitress and bouncer. I had a great time for 3 reasons.

1. That guy was crazy. He was everywhere doing everything. He ended up spending $750 in there and I didn't spend any. Not even a cover charge.

2. The other guy was much calmer and a good guy to talk with.

3. Because of the 1 guy, we were treated like VIPs. Everyone on the staff was constantly checking on us to make sure we were having a good time and the working girls weren't pushy.

I'd originally been headed home at 6 pm and didn't get there until 7:30 am (we ended up at Club Fahrenheit). Not the kind of night I wanted to repeat, but I enjoyed it.

However, there's at least 100 other dance clubs in Medellin and you can find girls willing to earn some extra money in any of them. You'll spend less for everything too. There's at least 100 regular options as well, between casas, strip clubs, girl bars and private apartments being run like brothels. Then there's the Facebook scene.

I can't say that Medellin is better than Cartagena, although I expect it's better for me. I like to spend the day walking, 10 miles or more. Cartagena is too hot for me to enjoy that. I also like to end my night by 10 or 11. That seems to be when Cartagena gets started.

For some guys Cartagena is perfect. Everyone just needs to do their research and pick the destination that best suits them. Unfortunately, it seems most guys base their decision on one report, or one girl.

Staying in a dorm-style hostel for my trip there next week. However, it appears most of the reports here mention that the clock tower girls come to your room?
