Will try to upload the photo I took later, but it is definitely under construction presently. Would expect that they are at least 4 months away from opening, probably in time for La feria de las flores in August.

If you are traveling to Colombia this week, or planning an internal flight within the country, be aware that Viva Air ceased operations today with no notice, leaving hundreds of thousands stranded in airports across Colombia and around Latin America and the USA (Miami). Today has been total chaos in Colombia as passengers attempted to get answers from Viva, who left their employees to fend off angry crowds with zero information about the status. Other airlines like Avianca and LATAM have offered to transport ticket holders, creating additional delays and flight cancellations as ticket sales have been suspended while they try to clean up Viva's mess. I will update as I find English resources but here is a good article in Spanish explaining what has happened https://www.infobae.com/colombia/2023/02/28/crisis-de-viva-air-estas-son-las-razones-que-llevaron-a-la-quiebra-de-la-aerolinea/

I have an appointment in the area tomorrow...will take a peek to see how close to opening things look.

Thanks for this...good to know,. I recently met a favourite scort at the Lov 24 (not misspelled -- that is the name) hotel on Avendia Colombia and had no issues, but maybe he organized something in advance of my arrival? Nevertheless thank you for sharing your experience with this.

Nice post...I always tell visitors to consider a trip to Zipaquirá to visit the Salt Catheral...it is impressive.

Just a note for those interested in visiting El Sillón Rojo, yesterday was the Pollos contra maduros (youth vs. older men) event and the place was packed from 1pm onward with plenty of young men interested in sex with older men. As always,check their WhatsApp for the list of upcoming events.

Bogota: The action during the week can be very spotty so do not be surprised to see virtually empty clubs on a Monday or Tuesday. Here are some suggestions for central Bogota that I solicited from locals: Wednesday - Club Chueca (new location in Zona T - not the old Chapinero location which is no more) Thursday - El Mozo (Zona T) - Leos Bar Mistica (Chapinero) Good options for crowds but zero strippers Friday - Dark Club (Chapinero) - El Bunker (Chapinero) - Fuzion Bar (Chapinero) Saturday - Theatron (Chapinero) - El Mozo (Zona T) Strippers are only a regular feature at Gigolo Erotic House (Chapinero) - DistricheX nightly show (Chapinero) - Garage Gogo Mne (Chapinero) Several of the saunas feature stripper shows (usually just one stripper) on the weekends to draw the punters in. Check local listings, but most commonly I have seen promotions from Complices Spa (Tesaquillo) and Perseus (Santa Helenita).

There have been a few articles published in Medellín in the local papers (in spanish). Basically the trail has gone cold...there are no publicly known events since July 2022. The office of the alcaldía of Medellín does has an advertising campaign visible in local gay bars and businesses, online, and in social media warning men of this potential danger while using hookup apps. You might even see these ads while cruising Grindr or Hornet while here.

This was published in a newsletter here that I receive. Up to date listing of organizations and groups where you can practice Spanish/English with interested parties in Medellín. https://medellingles.substack.com/p/language-exchange-in-medellin

So many have pointed out my error -- thank you --that the other location was on Calle 1 Sur (not 14) and I was informed tonight over drinks that this location is no more. So we are down to 1.5 Love Moteles in El Poblado, but I would expect that to change quickly given the differencesI am seeing in the neighbourhood this year.

Hey @Ethanmiamithere are too many to list, but might be an interesting discussion on which ones are clean and hassle free. I was laughing this weekend about the infamous El Poblado motel discussed under Angelo as I was walking by to get coffee. Still unconvinced that it is a love motel, but other members claimed it was found in the app MotelNow so let's go with that... There are a couple that I know in El Poblado -- tucked away discretely in the side streets off Avenida El Poblado on Calle 14 and aother on Calle 14. There are also probably a dozen (or more) in the area around La Setenta (Cra 70) and the Giradot stadium area. Just do a Google search for "love motels" along Avenida Colombia and you will see lots of pins appear. Feel free to DM if you want more detials. Chao.

None that I can vouch for personally, unfortunately.

Just did a long read of the coverage in El País - Argentina (with Malbec in hand) and that is correct. There are several international markets looking to move off the USD as the trade exchange benchmark and move to using a local agreed-upon exchange point, as the cost savings are substantial for regional trade between the two countries. Argentina and Brazil are just two countries openly engages in this talk.

Others I am certain will correct me, but the strippers (fully nude) at Theatrón in my experience are Saturday nights consistently. Friday used to be mixed company in the Lotus (top level) bar but that seems to have changed so maybe they are having strippers both nights. Did not go when I was in town last. Colombians like to go out late, but bars in the city of Bogotá must close at 2am by law. So the greatest action is from 11pm onward on Fridays and Saturdays. The club in only open Thurs - Fri - Sat and the odd Sunday when a national holiday falls on a Monday. Best check ahead -- Colombia has lots of holidays from April onward it the calendar year.

Updated January 2023 The information remains the same. Only diffence - there is no onsite meeting to select the boys. Call-text ahead to Fercho using WhatsApp. You will be asked for a description of what you are looking for...then will send a WhatsApp text message with a more pared down offering for your consideration. You will be asked to confirm a time window and date for any potential meeting. Then as described here, you will meet your choice at the Bliss Suite hotel. Price is 160K COP for the "date" including hotel or 180K COP for delivery + transportation -- they come to you and you pay taxi/Uber both ways. Enjoy!

Mileage may vary, but I would suggest from your comment that you have never been to El Mozo (Bogotá), Industry (Medellín), Purple (Medellín), City Club (Cartagena), or Queen (Calí) where the boys most definitely love to strip down and show off the hard work put in at the local Bodytech. There is also a very active local circuit in Bogotá and Medellín where private parties occur that get much more wild than the local clubs. For what it is worth...

Bueno pues...since there was such demand I am sharing (with his permission) the contact info for Travel JC Tour. Juan Camilo is a budding entreprenuer and has big dreams about the growing tourism business in Medellín. I intend to hire him once I have some weekend plans organized. WhatsApp +57 3016479134 His English is limited but he says he is learning, so be kind.

He does offer airport pick up in a private car. Am waiting for his approval to post his contact details here.

Website is being built now, he's been grinding at this business for only a few months.

I will pass you his info once I speak with him later today.

I see this request come up frequently so I am happy to share that I met a local Paisa who is starting his gay tour guide business, running tours of Medellín for individuals or groups. He is also offering day trips to many of the smaller paisa towns around Medellín in Antioquia department, like Guatapé, La Ceja, Santa Fe de Antioquia and others (Jardín is in the works). I gave him my number here so I can do a day trip to test the service and get a better sense of how serious he is about this new enterprise. Prices are very reasonable -- under COP 300K for the day including transportation (about $75USD). For those wondering, he made it clear that he was open to sex, but that is in no way part of the package. So this may not be your perfect fantasy option.

Jajajaja They are advertising 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗚𝗢𝗚𝗢𝗦 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗦 I mean, how could you NOT go check that out? LOL

Tejo!! You are quickly approaching cachaco status.

okay there is another new male stripper club in Chapigay. I will message you.

Honestly the most effective treatment for soroche is mate de coca. There are many cafés in Bogotá that will serve you the traditional mate. Ask your friends, I am certain that they will know a local place that offers this relief. There are a couple of places in nearby Palermo on the diagonales that I can suggest.
