Cartagena Reports

[QUOTE=Rzrfl69;2578110]So I am planning on booking my trip tomorrow. Looking at August 6-8th. Will be probably my 6th time in Cartagena and I was last there in December. Back then all you needed was the check mig. No test in or out.

I understand now from the USA you still need check mig, and then a test to get back into the USA. I've tried looking online. Where do you get the test in Cartagena? Any easy suggestions. Don't want to waste a lot of time with that.[/QUOTE]Don't worry. They are every where and will bug you just like the touts. If you are staying in an AirBB your no fuss no muss easy mode is to ask the host set it up for you where they come to the apartment and test you and give you results in 48 hours.

If you looked at the Cartagena US Embassy site it gives you a complete list of all places in Colombia you can get tested with locations and prices. I went that route and walked with the whole PDF and never even looked at it because every person that was selling boat tours was also setting up appointments for Covid tests where an actual nurse comes to your apartment in full scrubs test you, then email results in 24 hours. The only time I've ever found the touts useful.

Arrived in Cartagena today. About 930 I went to the club delirium. If you were into the club atmosphere; I would say it was 10 to 1 females. I definitely some diamonds in there.

[QUOTE=Evac305;2578021]I'm making my first trip to Cartagena next week. I'm aware of the ST and toda la noche prices but curious what's the right amount to offer girls going with you to Cholon / Rosario islands for the day. My and my boys are getting a yacht and plan to invite some girls too.[/QUOTE]The prices vary according to the girl but for the whole night or all day on a yacht in Cholon, they are between 300 K and 500 K COP, my advice is that the night before you go to Cholon, try to meet some girls establish a mutual connection and thus be able to obtain a much lower price, and if you can stay with her from the night before it would be ideal if you are interested I have contact with some university girls that you do not find in pages or discos or in the clock tower and It could come out at a better price.

Regards.

[QUOTE=ElPapi;2577695]Thank you OnFireBoy.

Folks OnFireBoy is a local in Cartegana and knows in and out of everything about Cartagena. During my last visit in March 2021, we meet with him and was a easy breeze with all the information. He took us to a local club outside of the old city and it was amazing and the girls were sexy and they have nice rooms inside the club if you want to do the deed. He has all good contacts of anything you need. Very trustworthy person and speak very good English. I recommend anyone going there first time or during the covid time reach out to him for up to date information about Cartagena.[/QUOTE]Thanks my friend, Hope to see you again.

Have any of you ever flown Spirit to Cartagena? I've never flown Spirit in general because of the reputation and the delays and such.

But looking at flights, Spirit has not only the best price but also the most convenient times that work for me. I just don't want to get caught up with flight delays and any other nonsense. I'm not looking for a super luxurious flight, just want something reliable.

If you've flown Spirit before, have you dealt with delays and such constantly? How was it overall?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info on the covid tests. Right after I posted I found lots of info. One major blog listed a lady that would come to your place. I'm staying at one of Juan's apartments.

I've been watching some youtube videos. Seems everything last 2 months was popping. However I just got on tinder again last night to do some scouting and surprised how few girls!?

I will be there July 30- August 1st.

As far as spirit. It's good if you do everything yourself! Do all.

The online check ins etc. Prices are a scam. They allow one personal item. A back pack that is! For carry on it's about 45 $ each way! I am going 2 nights so I can get away with a back pack. F that. I haven't had issues with delays. I go from ft Lauderdale to Ctg.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]I have a few cheap ass friends who went against my suggestions of the straight flight with JetBlue and used Spirit in the past. They could not stop complaining once they landed. They wanted to be cheap not realizing its a bare bones flight and they pack you in as much as the can. When you get on that plane its like you getting on the cheese bus full of weekend millionaires. Many of them don't know how to act in public. On 2 occasions my friends landed and when they get to Centro they telling me how these guys about to fight on the plane over some simple stupid shit.

If you are going to use them I would only use them for arrivals. I would never entrust them for a departure to get back home, they are notorious for delays and canceled flights. You do not want to be stranded abroad.

Both the bathrooms have no ventilation.

If you are 6' tall watch your head when entering the upstairs bathroom or front bedroom.

The young porter, if he still works there at night, just give him 50 mil pesos and tell him don't worry about the girls you will take care of it. This way they don't hold the girls ID and make the girls leave at dawn.

If you are not staying at that apartment then feel free to ignore everything above jajaja.

For Tinder, there are tons of chicas on there. You may have to adjust your settings. Put your location at the clock tower and set a 30 mile radius. To be honest the chicas you see on Tinder will be the same ones you will see at Playa Hollywood in the day time. The cap is 300 mil if you really want it, but always start off with 100 mil to see their reaction, 200 mil is the sweet spot. Don't tell any of those chicas that you are only there for the weekend or they will try to empty your pockets on day 1. Try not to talk to the girls too early on Tinder or they will be bugging you every day until you land, they will want you to to bring them something. Then when you land, that girl you thought was hot on tinder is nothing compared to the ones walking around right in front of your face and you will forget about her until you randomly bump into her one late night while you are with another girl (happened to me twice). I usually start talking to them the week of and tell them I'm here already there in Cartagena but I can only see you on XXXXXX days. XXXXX days will be when I actually land.

Have fun!

Thanks.[/QUOTE]Spirit sucks. They charge extra for almost everything. Extra for seating, extra for carry-on, an extra for not being a club member.
The prices are cheap but the ride is not the most comfortable. For example, my friend did not know the names of the airlines. We book with JetBlue, Delta, and Spirit. As soon as he got off his flight from Spirit he said please don't let me fly with this airline again. The seats were killing me!
I only fly first class with Spirit. It's not that I have to have first class it's just spirits seats suck just that bad. I always add an extra hundred dollars no matter what price they are advertising.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]As Grown Man said, the regular Spirit seat is atrocious, and you'll be super miserable. Get a Big Front Seat for a little extra or at least an exit seat for a little less than BFS.

I have never experienced considerable delays on Spirit, but they do happen. They had significantly improved the on-time performance by 2020, though. Compared to their prior records.

[QUOTE=Orgasmico;2576367]Which room did you rent that had a kitchen and balcony? And, you are saying that it is chica friendly? Did they ask for her cedula or exactly how did it work? [URL]https://viajerohostels.com/producto/cartagena/[/URL].[/QUOTE]The room I rented was called the superior apartment. Less than 200 USD for 5 days. Kitchen and balcony. Used the place twice last time I was there. The first of the year. No problems.
