Santa Cruz de la Sierra

[Hotman 666]

Just back from a quick trip to Santa Cruz.

Not a lot of free time so just took advantage of the 'Order in' service from the hotel bell boy. (Here in Santa Cruz it is my experience that the bellboy or hotel taxi driver will always be able to provide a selection of reliable playmates!)

It was not so cheap by Bolivian standards (US$70.) and had gone up a little from my last visit but the photos of the Chicas that were shown to me were all rather attractive and, as my previous experiences have also been good, I thought that I would give it a go.

Although, in most countries, I do not usually take advantage of an 'order in' service but there is something quite nice about the sense of expectation that you get waiting for the phone to ring and a completely unknown girl arriving at your door!

I have never yet been disappointed in Santa Cruz in using the "room service"l at the hotel and have always had pleasant or VERY pleasant experiences!

So. 45 minutes later after a brief call from reception to advise me that 'my guest had arrived' I heard a knock on my room door and, when I opened it, a beautiful, slim, dark haired 'Latino' 18 years old girl (YES, I saw her I. D. Later) with a simply stunning body stepped in and greeted me with a 'Hola' and a little kiss.

She spoke little or no English but, as I found out, she knew how to do her job VERY well!

My 'poco' Spanish was enough to find out she was a student and did this escort work 2 or 3 nights a week.

Well, after a good (long) hour. 'She made an old man feel very happy' or, perhaps it is more correct to say 'She made a happy man feel very OLD! '

Anyway, it was $70 well spent by my standards!

As an aside, many Mongers ask for information on lesser visited destinations like Santa Cruz but then NEVER post trip reports or even brief comments. So, PLEASE POST ANY UPDATES you may have. It does help your fellow Mongers!

ENJOY Santa Cruz (I did!)

Hotman.

I am returning to SCZ, one of my favorite haunts, on 8/22/11 and will depart 8/27/11.

If any of you cares to sample some of the nightclubs and other venues with me, let me know.

I have visited the DR; Costa Rica; Cali; and Medellin quite a bit over the last 3 years. My Spanish is getting there. But I not fluent yet. Colombia is great. But, I am hoping to find something a little more "normal" (less hard partying; less hard chicas). I have heard great things about Santa Cruz.

Thinking about paying a visit for a couple months, and am looking for some members with current experience.

Very quick visit for me, one night, so not a lot of time to explore.

Thanks to the forum to make my time efficient.

Stayed at los tajibos. Taxi to cafe show, although driver wanted to take me to curry's.

He said that was the place to be but I decided on cafe show instead.

No entrance fee, a beer for 30 BOB.

Many girls but quite busy for a Thursday with a lot of guys. 60 BOB for the girls' drinks.

Found a friendly after a bit, we chatted and had some drinks. Took a taxi parked in front of the bar back to the hotel. Felt safe.

Back to the hotel, they checked her I'd, no problems or fee involved.

Her fee was $100 US for overnight and 200 BOB bar fine to leave.

All in all fun place to be. Hopefully my next trip will be a few days longer. Hope to return in 3-4 months.

I speak spanish but think it would be difficult if you don't.

I will be in santa cruz on vacation from may / 05 / to may / 10/2001. If anybody wants to get together and walk around, I think it would be safer. Then I will be going to riberalta-beni. After my visit to santa cruz, I will be posting my report on Santa Cruz.

Thanks,

From what I'm told some of the larger gas stations in Santa Cruz have pretty girls working in the gas stations. Pumping gas, checking your water and tyre pressure. All of the girls are young (18. 22) , very pretty and wear shorts and a skimpy top. Apparantly they are available for EXTRAS too. Can anyone confirm this please. Paul

While it is true, there is still one gas station where you are pumped by scantily clad babes, there are a lot of easier venues to score at. Many of these girls are under the Bolivian legal age of 17, so I recommend being careful.

You should have a wonderful time. Stay at nice hotel, talk to concierge about which cabbies will run transport, travia tours, a little light body gaurding on off hours. Where to go? They may refer you to an independent cabbie, but it should not be difficult to get a lot of help for a little money.

Hello, Guys, I am new to the site and I guess, the hobby. I would like to extend my gratitude with the wealth of information I have found on here. Someday, I hope to post a few reports myself.

I will be in Santa Cruz mid-April. I was hoping to hire a guide for 3 or 4 days to help with "showing us the ropes". Does any one wish to recommend such a person? He must come with a van to handle four of us.

Thanks in advance

[Willy Dee]

I will be on Santa Cruz on Monday until Wednesday.

Any recomendations?

Sorry, didn't finish.

At Curry's, across from Cesars, and known by all the cabbies, the girls have been summarized nicely. Well known to be the best is Simone, a slim, Brazilian model, who is, paradoxically, on the nearby billboard hawking perfume. She speaks English, but alas, is $300 US per night. (all night) always awakening with a smile on her face for the next task.

If you want to visit the houses, I can help you there too. It is common at one of these to have new girls at mid day. They need to be instructed a little,. But cheap and fun.

W. Am just learning how to reply. Hope this goes.

Yes, lots of recommendations.

To start. Fly American, skip Aerosur

Taxis from airport to hotel in SC are by law 50 Bolivianos, all other rides cheap

Los Tajibos is nicest hotel in town, bar none. But not too chica friendly. All girls must register at front desk. Then no problem, but many girls fresh from farms have no ID at all. So they can't register.

Hotel Milan is cheap, clean and honest. Across from plaza centro. Hard, small beds is only downer.

I personally like Cesars, even with mixed reviews here. A private dance room usually only 50 bolivianos ($7) if not wanting to be near crowd. Safe, well known place. 8 and 9 girls quite common on Fri and sat nights.

All places, if you order beer, they think you may be poor. I always order an expensive drink, and usually send away the first girl or two.

Numerous male servers. Tip one a few bucks and ask for the prettiest, or newest girl, whatever you fancy, and it will be worth while. Amber could be a prom queen in most US cities, but when I had her two weeks ago, she knew absolutely nothing, not even basic positions.

Ask for a "Boliviana" as most girls are from Paraguay, and they can be a little experienced for my tastes. Wish I had an air ticket.

Just returned from Santa Cruz, Bolivia. New to this forum. Nice info, thanks. Having been to all continents, and many of the World's large cities, I would say this city is unequivocally my favorite. Chicas are that mix of S. Amer and European that makes for stunning looks, yet very unsophisticated business structuring for the monger. Quiet, shy, and fresh off the farm in many cases. 11th trip to SC.

I will be there next week, can someone suggest a good cheeka friendly hotel within "$50" range with wifi

Does the hotel offer cheeka service, if so what should I be paying?

Is that too much to ask ;-)

Try Yotau Suits www.yotau.com.bo
Nice Hotel with good location. (But not sure if it has WiFi.)
Yes Chicas available. From memory US$50 / 60 for incall.
Not the cheapest but good quality imho.
See my report from 19.05.2009 for a bit more info on S.C.

Enjoy,
Hotman.
