Barranquilla (April 24-29)
Flight.
I was coming from Cali and there were surprisingly few direct flights between two of the Top 5 cities in Colombia (only 2-3 a day and horrible times). I ended up routing through Bogota on Avianca for $78. No issues with flight and used the Cumbia Lounge in BOG. Of note, Avianca uses a lot of buses at Bogota airport for planning / de-planning so be sure to give yourself enough time.
Taxi.
BAQ to my hotel (NH Royal SmartSuites) was 35 k and took around 40 minutes. The area just north of the airport is called Soledad and appears quite poor, but definitely nicer than the first time I visited 4 years ago. Return to airport was quoted at 55 k for taxi and ended up using an Uber for 38 k. Give yourself plenty of time as the roads are poor and traffic bad. It also rained on the way into town ( 3 pm) and rained most days between 3-5 pm for 30 minutes or so. Bring an umbrella!
Hotel.
I stayed at the NH Royal SmartSuites. On [URL]booking.com[/URL] I found rates for $53 to $65 throughout my stay. I wanted to stay at the Four Points Sheraton, but it was booked. I know I could have found cheaper places, but I needed a good internet connection for work and wanted to be in a walkable location. Overall, nice hotel with a spa and small pool on the top floor. Staff was good and no issues with girls. I had 2 visit me over the course of 4 nights and didn't need to sign in either of them.
Casas.
Zero Stress – Went around 4:30 pm on a Wednesday. Line up of 5-6 girls who I would rate 5-6. Generally mixed or darker girls, but curvy. I took the youngest girl ( 20) and went to a large room in the back for the deed (80 k for 30 minutes, did 10 k propina). Decent experience with some enthusiasm. They use a fair amount of disinfectant there. Started off with regular massage, then BBBJ, to covered sex.
Spa Holistico (Calle 69 #47-36).
Went around 10 pm on a Monday. Only one girl and she was older (early to mid 30's) and a bit worn so did not partake.
I didn't go to any other casas as I was busy with work and having luck in other ways.
Strip Clubs.
PleyClub (Carrera 46 # 73-26) – Avoid or at least be careful.
You may have seen my other posting from that night (was a Monday I think), please check out. In short, there were some very attractive girls, but it's a gringo gouging place. I was given one price when entering that was then changed when I entered and they even have different menu prices for English / foreigners than for locals. 8-10 girls. Price was 20 k beer, 40 k girl drink, 400 k for 30 minutes. Not worth wasting your time in my opinion (AVOID).
La Hoja Disco Bar Club (Carrera 44 # 72-245, at Calle 73).
Was there on Monday evening, not open.
Siglo XI.
I asked a taxi driver about it on Tuesday night and he said it would be 25 minutes from my Parque Washington hotel and advised against it for safety and how many girls they might have. He said to go earlier on Friday or Saturday. I had calls the next morning so heeded his advice.
Seeking.
I had mixed success, but overall worth looking into. I hadn't used it in 3-4 years, but thought I'the give it a go. Cost was $90 for a one month trial and you can review and message girls around the world. You need to look a little bit, but quality is quite high. I messaged 8 girls in Barranquilla and 7 replied within a day. Transitioned to whatsapp quickly with all. I whittled those down to 3-4 to target.
Date #1.
Mixed girl who was very tall with nice tits. She was a 24 year old who managed a call center and was also working on her masters. I was skeptical of her photos so suggested drinks first. She agreed. When she showed up she not only pushed for me to pay for her cab, she was 12 kg / 30 lbs heavier than her photos and a bit bitchy with the staff. Also had some sort of pantsuit business outfit. Not very attractive. At the restaurant she proceeded to order two large sliders and a house burger (not really cheap where we were at too). About 10 minutes in I decided I didn't want to have anything to do with her so just used the experience to practice my Spanish. I paid for both of us and we parted ways.
Date #2.
23 year old girl who was also a college graduate and worked in management for an engineering firm. Well done fake tits and ass. We had some back and forth on price as she'the had guys underpay her in the past. Agreed to 300 k and she showed up looking very cute, girl next-doorish. We went straight to the hotel room, front desk didn't need her to check-in. Made small talk for 30 minutes and had a couple drinks. Next some dancing and strip followed by 1. 5-2 hours of GF sex (BBBJ, covered sex, CIM). Ordered drinks to room, multiple pops. She stayed for 3 hours and I'm typically a 1-1. 5 hour type of guy. I hope to see her again.
Bumble / Semi-Regular girls.
27 year old woman who was originally from San Andres and working in a business job in Barranquilla while also studying for Masters. Met her over Bumble app. She showed up in her own car so she was able to park below the hotel and discretely take the elevator to my room.
Similar to SA data #2, made small talk in Spanish. Had a couple drinks. We start complimenting each other and talking sexual which lead to regular massage, then to DFK, BBBJ, covered sex, and CIM. She was a real tiger and would have done uncovered sex, but I wanted to be a bit careful. Afterwards we had a drink and discussed the business I had in Barranquilla (She seemed genuinely interested and was fairly smart) and she practiced her English some. I discretely put 300 k in her purse for our 2-2. 5 hours of time. She hasn't mentioned since, but I think she was a little put off by it, unsure.
Overall.
Barranquilla doesn't have much to do outside of chicas and some decent restaurants, but the people are nice and there are few gringos. It's also relatively cheap and accessible from South Florida. I will go to the area again, but don't think more than 3-4 days and likely go to Santa Marta for more time, possibly with a favorita.
NBA Basketball Game Monday
Will be in Barranquilla next week 6/13 anyone know of a Sportsbar I can watch the NBA Finals. Thanks.
Barranquilla (May 31 - June 3)
I was in Barranquilla for a handful of days. Updates below.
Hotel. I stayed at the Four Points Sheraton for $53/ nt. Nice hotel with a decent pool on the top, great buffet breakfast and many restaurants close by. I had two girls visit over 3 days and no problems. One I checked in and another I just walked through like she was staying there (many business folks there so well dressed girls can blend in). The one drawback, and it may be minor, is that the beds are quite soft. So much so that one of my girls complained about it. Hard to get going in certain positions jajaja. *.
Sensaccion VIP (CL. 84 b #38-112).
In Campo Alegre barrio. A bit hard to find and on the 2nd floor, white building. Opens at 10 am. I first went on a Wednesday and they weren't open. The girl said to whatsapp her the next morning and she'd send pics of girls. Had*5*girls*on Thursday morning. Decent looking.
20 minutes for 60 k.
30 minutes for 70 k.
45 minutes for 100 k.
60 minutes for 130 k.
Beers 5 k.
Elite Spa (Cra. 45 #56-73) (Barrio Boston).
One of your best bets in BQA overall. I went on a Thursday afternoon and they had 7-9 girls (some busy). Rooms are decent size. Hours 9 am to 8 pm most days. Closed Sunday.
30 minutes for 70 k.
60 minutes for 100 k.
There were several options for 2 and 3 girls as well. I think 2 girls for 60 minutes was 160 k, but you can only have sex with one of them. *.
Zero Stress (Cra. 46 #74-70).
Hours 9 am -9 pm.
Poked my head in here, had 6 girls but didn't see anything I liked.
20 minutes for 60 k.
30 minutes for 70 k.
60 minutes for 110 k.
Relaxation Spa (Cra. 38 #51-113) (Barrio Recreo).
It seems associated with Zero Stress as the advertisement was the same and set up similar although rooms smaller.
Poked my head in here as well on a Thursday around 3 pm. They had 4 girls, but only one that was halfway doable and I decided to hold off for Elite Spa.
30 minutes for 60 k.
45 minutes for 80 k.
60 minutes for 100 k.
Trios for 150 k (not sure exactly what this was).
Lesbian show for 250 k.
Siglos XXII Night Club (Calle 39 #26-94).
Hours: After 8 pm.
I didn't make it on my last trip so I was determined this time. I was staying in Alto Prado and the cost was 25 k there and 15 k back. I guess you need to negotiate! Went on a Wednesday around 10 pm and it was DEAD! There were roughly 7 staff and 7 girls in the place. I didn't' see another customer. One of the girls was incredibly annoying and kept whipping her soaking wet hair in my face and shoulder. Kept following me around the club. I only found one of the girls attractive, but wasn't that turned on so I headed across the road to El Templo del Amor.
El TEmplo del Amor Night Club*(Calle 39 #26 B. Cordialidad).
Hours: After 8 pm.
Cost: Need to negotiate with the girl, but 100 k for 30 minutes, 150 k for 60 minutes onsite. Beers were 6 k for domestics and I think 10 k for imports. There were 10 girls there on a Wednesday and roughly the same number of customers. Most of the girls were Venezuelan and I picked up a cute 20 year old. We went to her room upstairs onsite. The rooms are small and she lived in the onsite room with another girl for a rent of 150 k. Kind of a sad story overall. Good looking girl, but overall poor experience as she spend the first 10 minutes telling me her life story, then 10 trying to get me to take her to my hotel (kept telling me it didn't cost anything for her to go with me, I. E. Bar fee. But then when I pressed said that of course she'd want 300 k for overnight), then 10 minutes with a poor blowjob. Plan better than me!
If you want to hit up the last two I would go later in the week and ideally with someone else. While there is quite a bit of light right in the intersection they are in a sketchy area of town and I needed to wait 10 minutes for a cab to take me home. Not a place you want to be wandering around in and everyone was staring at me the whole time outside and in club.
