Caracas

[QUOTE=Haitek;2107066]Two week ago, I stayed at Marriott Grande Playa, price by night was 630.000 bvs (180 dollars at official rate, 22 dollars at black market rate at that time) for a deluxe room. But price in bvs must go up now following inflation.[/QUOTE]It's a very valid statement. Lock in the rate before it goes up to match the inflation and it will.

Secondly, I got the rate of 17 usd / night in Eurobuilding, Caracas. I needed help of local friends and lot of trust and coordination between us to do it. Normally, big hotels such as these do not allow foreigners to pay the local rate using some decree issued by the govt that unless foreigners have a work visa for Ven, they can not pay for hotels in local rate or local currency.

Further, if you see a rate of 65,000 BS to a 1 USD. Forget you will get this exchange rate. For a bank transfer. Its 15-20% less. For cash its -25-35% less. Do your maths. There is shortage of hard cash and only people who have cash in BS are people who do local business in large volumes on a daily basis. To get good rates. Make friends with such people.

[QUOTE=GreatGuy1234;2107355]That is what the advertisements on sexycaracas say. On another site one girl was advertising a price of 100,000 bolivares, which is $1.5 usd, with an additional 15 cents requested for cab fare.

On a local job board I saw a position (non sex worker) advertised with a weekly salary of 70,000 bolivares ($1 usd), so presumably even at this $2-$5 hourly rate escorts are making pretty good money. The economy has been so devastated by hyper inflation, price controls and the totality of the socialist program that people are desperate for any income.[/QUOTE]And what facts do you have to presume that $2-$5 is good money? What is the cost of living per day? Does $2 buy you a steak dinner? Or does $2 get you meat scraps? The point is no one here knows. Yiu would have to be the one trying to survive to really know.

These comparisons to poverty wages and living are useless in this and other forums.

I had a crazy thought, first know that I frequent Colombia months at a time a few few times each year and I will be in Medellin and traveling around Colombia the next month and a half so, here is the crazy thought, why not bring a Venezuelan girl into Colombia.

What does a Venezuelan need to visit and enter Colombia? A visa? Passport? Cost? Which border to cross by auto / foot? How long can they reside in Colombia (ie 90 days? Other information.

I told you I had a crazy thought.

BTW, I have been in touch with a half dozen pretty mid twenty year old's from the dating sites who responded with some interest to my crazy thought. If things are that cheap why not import for a week or more?

Your comments are welcomed.

TTM.

According to google, a Colombia tourist visa is not required for citizens of Venezuela for up to 90 days or any South American country. They do not need a passport either, a simple identity card will suffice.

Which dating sites did you use? Curious? Many of them have bots replying to you!

You could run a facebook fan page campaign and search for real girls (via the FB profiles) offering them a job in Colombia.

Details of the job to be discussed. (write so in the ad).

On another note, most Venezuelan girls will be happy if you could help them relocate but not necessarily stick with you once they have access to other men who are richer and better looking than you. Think about it.

Seems like you'd be a good target for LE.

[QUOTE=GreatGuy1234;2107056]Sry the rate for Cumberland is actually 200,000 bolivars, but that is still only $3 per night. Eurobuilding is 700,000 bolivars or $10 usd per night or 639,670 on their website, but I got this by selecting 'country of residence Venezuela' so I dunno if they give the same rate for foreigners. If I put in Canadian they want $80 usd per night.[/QUOTE]They always rake the gringos. Thats why I learned to read and write in spanish. I've noticed this years back. When I would book a flight in english, they charge an avg $50 more so I always booked in spanish. Plus I use the spanish sites to do my bookings and not the english ones like Kayak or Bookings.

[QUOTE=GreatGuy1234;2106174]Am I reading DolarToday correctly, and the exchange rate is 60,000 : 1 now?[/QUOTE]Its almost going up every other day, its now 82,000 bolivars to $1 usd. Yikes.

TTM.[/QUOTE]Hey Tall Man,

I too have had crazy ideas. Something like "friends with benefits" . Those poor people need friends with $$ to help them escape. Sad but true. We are blessed with the opportunity to meet them and shall I say maybe cursed if we do it only for self gratification in these circumstances. If I could I would send $50 to 20 girls and say leave ASAP! Sure meet up in Maracaibo or Bogota as friends. And who knows what could happen. Go for it Tall Man. Meanwhile I hope my tourist Visa gets approved here in the USA. Beautiful country, beautiful women, terrible economy. And who takes Bitcoins over there now?

Well since I am leaving for Colombia in 2 weeks, staying for a bit over a month this visit, I have learned that getting a Venezuelan visa in this time period will not happen, being in LA I would need to personally visit the Venz consulate office in San Francisco SO my plan is to arrange the girl to meet in Colombia at the nearest border crossing on foot.

As you see my plan is developing but in the meantime I have pitched this idea to 4 girls via Latin American Cupid and yes they are hungry to discuss this once in a lifetime opportunity. These are not stunners but very cute good looking girl next door types which I crave, all being between 20 and 25 years of age and ready for a bit of adventure.

Stay tuned.

Stay tuned.[/QUOTE]In my opinion it would be much better if you met the girl first then escorted her over the border to Colombia. I realize this is not possible because you do not have time to procure a Venezuelan Visa. There are just so many logistical issues in trying to have a girl you never met meet you in another country. Not to mention you are going to have to send someone you never met the money up front and hope she actually makes the journey. Also, I imagine the price is going to be quite a bit higher negotiating online rather then in person. Anyway, I certainly don't want to rain on your parade but, I think after you add the pluses and minuses you will come to the conclusion to stick with the Colombian girls. One other option and I am not encouraging you to do anything illegal or can cause you trouble but, I have a feeling if you travel by car / bus / taxi to a border town at the Venezuelan / Colombian border you will find the VISA restriction to enter Venezuela is not enforced for US Citizens, is much more relaxed, or can be bypassed by presenting the officer checking your passport with a few US Dollars. I know of many backpackers who have done this within the last six months and were able to cross with just a passport.

I am currently in Caracas, and have been checking the old places. Found that a few of the massage parlors in Sabana Grande are closed. Latin Fantasy Spa is open, the place is incredibly cheap (Boivares 70 k for half an hour, plus 40 k more for bareback BJ), but the quality of the girls was all over the place. Most were just OK-ish, with a couple of good looking ones. If somebody is interested in the sub-$1 fuck experience, the place is in Torre Movilnet Sur, a big office building attached to El Recreo Shopping Mall, on the sixth floor, the number of the office is 6-3.

In the other end of the spectrum is Studio Piccola, in Las Mercedes. That place is very neat, and the girls were veritable stunners. Like, HOLY CRAP so hot, I was truly impressed. Of course that quality means a much higher cost, they charge 400 k for an hour of massage and 1 ejaculation plus any extras you may negotiate with the lady. Very expensive for us Venezuelans, but for a gringo that's like $6 dollars at street rate. A hint, pay in bolivares, they will happily take your american currency but will charge $30 for the service. Like I said, it's in Las Mercedes (one of the nicer areas in Caracas), at the beginning of Calle Londres, Edificio IUS, a very private and secure office building.

However, when I look at the photos of Colombia escorts and Mexicans on twitter, they are more beautiful than those of Venezuela.
[/QUOTE]Quite a few of the high-end girls scorting in Mexico are actually Venezuelan. For example, a good number of the top rated girls in ZonaDivas are from our country.
