Colombia Virgin

[Lucky]

So my fellow Latin lovers, especially those of you who have been to Colombia, can you please advise the approach you took to visiting Colombia the first time? I am considering a first trip, but the lack of saunas as in Brazil has me wondering how well I would do since i have never used Grindr. You may be aware that I am an old geezer and know that free sex is probably a thing of the past for me. Also, it seems to me that Medellin is the place to go from what I have read. Is Bogota a waste of gay time?  I often see inquiries from first time visitors in the forums, and one thing they get told is to research. I am perfectly willing to do that, but your experience could help me focus the search. Thanks.

There's a few threads on Bogota and Medellin but they get sort of lost. I'll try to remember most details.

Bogota is certainly worth the trip just for a visit to the Gold Museum if nothing else. Hundreds, maybe thousands of beautiful Pre-Columbian gold pieces of art and jewelry displayed in a modern museum. The Botero museums in both Bogota and Medellin are also very visit-worthy. Bogota is the "Capital of the Andes" high in the Andes and populated by Inca descendants. Cool and often cloudy. But Bogota is a big (8 million) modern, European-like city. It's clean and safe. Everything costs twice as much as Medellin and everyone seems to wish they lived in Medellin. 

Bogota has a huge gay scene. Chaperino is the gay area of Bogota and Theatron nightclub is the largest in Latin America and possibly the world.There are also a dozen "saunas with masseurs" in Chaperino. Each has 5-10 massuers. In Columbia, unlike Brazil, the guy has to put you on a massage table and at least make the pretense of starting a massage. In fact, in all the ones I visited in Bogota, this is all you get, possibly with happy ending. There are 1 or 2 nice looking guys at each sauna but then you run into attitude. And the prices again, are twice Medellin's for half as much. In summary, the guys in Bogota are not super good looking, have attitudes, and are not cheap. 

Medellin is more a tropical city (even though it's in a deep Andean valley-beware that ride in from the airport). It's bigger than you'd expect ( 2 million) but doesn't seem that big. Usually perfect weather and very friendly smiling people. The people are a beautiful mix of mostly Spanish European with a little Inca and Central American Indian. Think the more European looking Mexican or Argentine types. (The only blacks in Colombia are in the far-northeast Carribean islands).They stay in pretty good shape physically and are extremely active sexually. One-quarter of the guys on Chaterbate are in Medellin and they are easy to talk with and set up meetings on Chaterbate. I would highly recommend this as Medellin can be hard to hook-up once there for some reason. Grindr has a lot of profiles with "prepaygo" titles, which is slang there for escorts. I would be leery of strangers off Grindr though. Networking works best in Medellin.

Besides trying to snag a guy in the several gay nightclubs in the Laureles neighborhood, there are two main venues in Medellin for cash-and-carry guys, Club Tobi and Calle 57.

Club Tobi is a beautiful big modern clean sauna with masseurs who do a lot more than massage. It's about 3 blocks in on Calle 47 from the main street, Oriental (you must use street #'s in Medellin there are no signs). I understand Christain, who was a solid 9/10, has moved to Europe. There are usually 3 masseurs each day, but other employees rotate as masseurs and are available. Unlike Bogota, you get on a massage table, then anything goes immediately. There is a big gym where the employees and masseurs work out all day so they stay in excellent shape. The fee for "massage" is about $25, all-inclusive. This is one of the most-sought-after jobs in gay Medellin. I would certainly get phone numbers and referrals here, ie: network. Both customers and massuers are extremely attractive.

Calle 57's 1st block west from the main street, Oriental, is a marketplace of male meat. There is a smallish hustler bar with roll-up front making the guys spill on the sidewalk. Across the street is a larger nicer gay hustler bar and an hourly gay sex hotel (painted in rainbows). You pick a guy and get a room. The "street" is more an alley and the two hustler bars and the hourly hotel are all within 20 feet so it's a very transactional place. It opens about 5 or 6 and gets crowded later. I am extremely picky and unfortunately out of dozens of available guys there I rarely see one who's attractive. This is amazing in Medellin, a city of truly attractive guys. There is also a small dirty sauna with masseur a few doors down, but again, extremely ugly. Do not venture further down 57 or on the other side of the cathedral there. There are supposed to be a couple gay venues but totally not worth the danger on the other (west) side of the cathedral. You will be mugged. 

Parque Lleras in the touristy area of Polanbo is a gay bar/cruise area that is supposed to be easy to meet guys in. I haven't tried it. Neither have I tried the gay nightclubs in the  Laureles neighborhood. But Medellin is very gay-friendly and it's really easy to pick up guys. It's just that it helps a lot if you prepare with dates off Chaterbate and network from Club Tobi. The pickings off just Club Tobi and Calle 57 can be limited. 

A great thing is flights to Colombia are plentiful, fast and cheap. Not much further than Florida. Avianca is a great airline and besides American, United, Delta, JetBlue and even Spirit fly to the big cities, usually for $150 each way. Hotels, especially in Medellin, are very cheap as well. The worst part of the trip is the long ride over a huge mountain from the airport to Medellin in a small taxi.

tassojunior, in case you don't hear it enough, 

THANK-YOU for all of the amazing contributions you make to this board !

[tassojunior]

This is Adrian who has worked at Club Tobi for a few years and is usually there. More mixed than most Colombians, he's a weightlifter, a great hung top and a power bottom. The shaved head is gone. Beautiful hair. Also, sweetest guy ever. I think he's gay but you never know. Photo credit to Episevilla who is more of an expert on Colombia than me. 

Also I just realized the CP is down so the rate for the deed (50,000 CP) is down from $25 to $18 US. 100K ($36) is high-rolling.

50,000 Colombian Peso equals

18.25 US Dollar

 

 

I also posted a Bogota thread I can't find now.

There are escort sites in Colombia but they notoriously do not really show the guy who shows up. 

There's a "house of boys" in Medellin Episevilla knows about. 

[Lucky]

tassojunior, you have helped me in so many ways. You posted the link to the Avianca credit card where I received 60,000 miles. Just today you educated me on bisexual power bottoms! And here you have gone the extra mile to answer my  inquiry on Colombia. Thank you so much!

[likeohmygod]

To add to what has been said. I have found extremely useful Twitter in Colombia. A lot of boys (and many of them are also performers on cam sites) have profiles with pictures and videos... Where you see xxx content you can be sure they will go for money. 

Not only... The guys who are also performers on sites like chaturbate will also have a huge list of followed users who are "colleagues", hot friends and other mixed hottest willing to go for money. 

Never had a problem, even because once you meet one, they will advertise for their porn actor friend, for their model cousin... And so on. Lot of fun. 

If you're interested I can pass you the profile of a hot guy which helped me to find tons of sex in medellín.

Thanks for the useful info!

Whenever people talk about the danger west of the cathedral, I always wonder what the name is for the cathedral. lol. Or west of the river is dangerous?

Catedral Basílica Metropolitana de Medellín

Just behind the tall building to the right is the block of Calle 57 intersecting the main street Oriental where the gay sex hotel and the hustler bars are. In front of the cathedral is a large park usually full of people which leads to downtown shopping Medellin. To the left in the photo begins a very rough area where a gay is almost certain to get mugged.

Thanks so much.

After my Panama trip, Colombia is definitely my next. It seems to be just as exciting and maybe one half of Brazil's budget.

Here's a pdf photo of the block of 57a from Oriental. On the right is the larger hustler bar and above it with a rainbow sign and flashing sex hotel sign is the gay sex hotel. There's a gay US client already there early in the morning. Across the street are two hustler bars with roll-up fronts and in the middle of the block is the nasty Barbacola sauna with a masseur. At the end of the block is the cathedral's back. This block is all gay and gets very crowded. Safe here, dangerous on the other side of the cathedral. 

You will not find Prince Charming in this block. You will be lucky to find anyone who's had a bath this week in this block.

I am in Colombia now and having a great time. I have met several  working guys off Grindr that were super nice and incredibly hot. The guy I met tonight in Medellin was 12/10 if there is such a thing! Super sweet with model looks and body. We went out for a drink after as he wanted to practice his English. It's hard not to fall in love! I had planned to do research on Chaturbate before my trip but ran out of time. So far Grindr has worked fine for me with plenty of offers of free sex as well.

Forgot to mention that in Medellin gay guys have a huge fetish for hairy guys. They're rare here and the locals see them as more European and macho.

Don't miss Club Tobi.

Lucky, If you do wind up going, could you share your experience as a "virgin" for the rest of virgins contemplating a trip? That would be great!

[Lucky]

Absolutely! I would love to post every detail here and have you guys admire my wisdom, my choices, the guys I went with, and even my choice of venue! My report will be so  popular that even Badboy will rave about it.

However, it does look like Colombia will not be this year as I am booked with several other trips, including Brazil Merida will also have to wait...until I get invited!

 

(Post is written with tongue in cheek. But yes, I would share!)

[endlessdream]

I know Bogota, Medellin and Cali pretty well. Personally I'd recommend Cali the most. The city is smaller and people are nicer. But you do get bored there after a couple of days.

[likeohmygod]

I always have bad luck in Cali. Maybe I don't know the city as I know medellin. 

Grindr in Cali has 70% less guys than what it has in Medellín. 

[asdsrfr]

Most of the guys I saw on Grindr in Colombia and ended up meeting were gay. Any one who has been there know where to meet the straight guys that like to have fun too--like the guys working the saunas in Brazil? Although I didn't try Chaturbate my impression is that most of those guys are would be gay as well.

80% of the guys on Chaterbate and 50% of the "masseurs" at Club Tobi are what you're looking for.

[Pinkeey22]

Okay. I'm going to Medellin and don't really want to bring guys back to my airbnb.  Where are the "sex hotels" that I've read about on the Colombia forums.

I've heard enough about the area around calle 57, so don't want to go to any of the bars, baths, or sex hotels there.

If anyone can give specific names of places or areas that safe, I'd appreciate it.
