What is your favourite destination for the hobby?

Parque Lleras would be fine, because most of your girl contact would be online, typically. They can come straight to your place without ever going to Parque Lleras anyway, but I would tend to think that if the cops are hassling anybody it would be the odd girl in the park looking to pick up stray gringos. It's a popular area because it's surrounded by eating and drinking establishments. . It's the safest and most gringo friendly area because English is more widely spoken there. I usually stay in Laureles which makes the girls happier because they travel less and it's cheaper to stay. It's easier for me because I speak fluent Spanish. Generally speaking if you're not an obnoxious tourist wearing hawaiian shirts and being loud with the girls then it's unlikely to be an issue barring a specific active crackdown, which I've never seen there. I mean, anyone with any idea in Medellin is getting girls online or directly in the bars (or the Hotel M).

Didn't Canadian and US governments advise against the use of online platforms in Colombia? I've been there once (few weeks before we first heard about the coronavirus). Parque Lleras was great and I had quite some fun. I'm tempted to return but lately there have been so many reports of people getting drugged and even deleted. They say that they don't even need yo put the scopolamine in your drink, they can just blow it in your face. It's sad because the women look great. I'm still considering returning there or trying Cartagena.

They warn you of any potential dangers. Canada issues high risk travel advisories against going to the Bahamas or Belgium, for example. They assume a level of complete stupidity and ignorance on the part of the traveler and warn to the lowest common denominator. Scopolamine can be an issue in Colombia but it's defeated by common sense travel measures. never leave drinks or food unattended and don't accept drinks or food from strangers, which is what you should do no matter where you travel. Using FB to locate and contact well known women is significantly different than reaching out to someone through a dating app. Again, common sense precautions rule, as they would be meeting any stranger. Know where you shouldn't go walking at night and avoid those places. Use taxis instead of walking if there's a concern.Use the same rules of thumb with escort sites there that you would here. Once you have a circle of contacts you'll never have to worry about that stuff again.

People have an impression of Colombia that comes from 80's action flicks and Pablo Escobar. Colombia is nothing like that anymore. The truth is that Colombia is a pretty nice country to visit with lots of interesting places to see, and the women are absolutely stunning. What is true though is that you should visit urban environments and generally stay there (or beaches like Santa Marta or the like) Some of the jungle and border areas are pretty sketchy and you should avoid them.

You can try your luck finding working girls in Santa Marta from these places:

• Olds Bar, Carrer 2, between Calle 18 and Calle 19. 8000 peso for a beer. Over 20 girls. 200,000 pesos for take-out girls.
• Renobar (CLOSED), on Calle 10, near the corner with Carrera 3 (use google maps for reference). Only five minutes walk from the main beach area. It's definitely worth a visit. It has plenty of girls ranging from ones you wouldn't touch to ones that are gorgeous. Girls cost about 80,000-100,000 pesos (US$34-43) for an hour.
• A place across the street to El Velero del Amor.
• An intersection with a couple of bars. Calle 10 with Carrera 4 next to Residencia Merida. Girls cost about 30,000 pesos (US$ 14), which include 10K for the upstairs room in the hotel next door.
• Rest paisita pues hotel (hit or miss).

Prostitutes in the whorehouses are safe (and great fun), but that the prostitutes on the street probably have more STD´s, or some try to drug and rob you. Warning: Apparently, some street putas put a chemical on their nipples that’ll put you to sleep.

That last part is wild haha

Ive hiked in the Himalayas at 17000 feet and it was rough. so I will learn my lesson and acclimitize to the altitude before taking the hike up

Especialy if you fly direct from Lima which is at sea level, the shock on your cardio system will be brutal, like walking a few meters and finding yourself out of breath.

I did the trip a long time ago but travelling on roads. I had plenty of time ahead of me( I spent a few months there), so I could slowly acclimate to the progressive rise in altitude.

Even then, I used coca leaves (as well as the white stuff but for a different reason ),to ease things up, Urquell’s recomendation to use coca candies instead is a great idea, since the effects might kick in quicker and sugar is also great to fight "soroche ".

This happened some 40 years ago, I was young and definately not there to monger. I consider myself very lucky, in those years, you could climb and visit Machu Picchu on your own and didnt have to book a tour or a guide, although those already exist at the time.

We took off from Agua Caliente and hike our way to the top at 4:30 in the morning to get to see the sun slowly revealing the mystic ancient city under our eyes. One of the most intense moment in my Life! Enjoy your trip!

I don't normally recommend bringing sand to the beach (in this case literally) but for trips to Santa Marta it's actually not a bad idea. You wouldn't do it from Medellin, of course, but from Cartagena or Barranquilla it's not a terrible option. The Colombian girls typically only work once a day, sometimes twice or sometimes not at all, and if you wanted to go to Santa Marta you'd have no shortage of candidates who'd be happy to go with you for the cost of a session and you pay the expenses (food, drinks etc). They love to go but would much rather go on your dime, and taking one would eliminate the need to search since the variety available would be much better in Cartagena.

Really, Parque Lleras is just a place to go and drink and eat. It's not truly a girl place, it's just that there's some around hoping to latch onto a gringo occasionally. You are just as likely to see no one or ones there who already have their gringos. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't build any plans around being able to pull from Parque Lleras.

Sound advice, and the candies can be bought anywhere in any store pretty much. Lots of airbnbs and hotels have bowls of them at reception. You do need to book a tour to walk the Inca Trail now, because they insist on an experienced guide, but you can still do the hike up from Aguas Calientes on your own. Lot of tourists go up and down every day. Not me brother, not unless I have lots of time to acclimatize first. It's not hugely long but it's pretty damn steep looking to me at that altitude! lol

Heard about this warning also. It like nowadays things have changed a lot there. That’s why I still haven't returned to Colombia but I'm considering because I really enjoyed it, even outside the chicks.
