yes, we all agree that safety issue is much better in saunas. however, it is so exiting to pick up a boy somewhere else.... 36 days to go.... my fourth brazilian trip

i am just talking to guys on the internet, about my january trip. but i choose students, that speak a little bit english. i offer 300 reais for 24 hours and the guys are very OK with this. this is probably not enough for proffecionals from 117 or MM.

tom, it was the law student. but it is true that you didn't mention him for a while.....

initially i have to agree with firecat 69 that in cartagena is relativelly difficult to find boys, when you are already here. why ? i do not know, but that s how it is. on one hand there is a lot of tourists, which makes prepagos on grindr not to talk about a price below 80 $ for an hour, on the other hand it is strange, because when our plane was landing we were flying over a large favela.... it is strange that boys from this place do not come out ? or is it so bad, that they don't have smart phones? i am not able to put down the answer, just guessing. well, i was lucky, i was pre-arranging guy from surroundings. his name is Rafa, and he was hugging me about a minute, after i came out of baggage claim. rafa and myself were talking quite some time before my trip, and he is a really special person. a person to love and hate. phisically he looks much better than on pictures. cameras don't like him. he is 23 years, and he is adopted child. his father, a local boss was banging a cleaning woman in his place. rafa was a result of that affair. his father gave money to his mother to get away. she did get away, but without Rafa and he was adopted by 60 year old woman, who was taking nice care of him. he finished high school, and he is now going to 2nd year of university. his english is good, he is a fighter, and stubburn person, he is also unsecure from time to time. it was real challange to be with him, because you never knew what will happenen next. he is claiming that he is not escort boy, which i belive, because on the first morning in luxuary hotel, he wanted to make a bed, and it took me a while to explain to him, that there are other people to do that for us. on the other hand i am sure he was close to someone with money before...... we took a taxi and went to hotel. checking into hotel caribe no problem. for the afternoon we went to gay beach which is accros hotel Caribe. please do not expect ipanema gay beach. it is not gay beach at all. it is normal beach, with mixed population. some young, some old. maybe a gay here and there, but no stunning bodies like ipanema or even salvador barra. cheap and good food, expensive drinks. do not count on gay beach. in the evening we went to old town restaurant Cuzco. fantastic setting, enviroment, beautiful waiters and great food. this is the best food of all columbia, according to me. you can survive with 30 $ per person, if you skip the wine. Do not forget reservation, particularly friday and Saturday. Rafa was fine. he was a little bit unsecure how to behave at a nice place. we returned to the hotel, where he has delivered all mistic and power of caribean sex. he was not good, he was great....

the third and lastday in medellin. i have decided for Penol and Lake of Guatape. i am skipping travel agencies and their travel offers for 80 $, and i go with bus together with my guide Donaldo. we save more than half of the money and it was without any problem. penol is a vulcanic rock where you can climb on the top by winning 695 steps. it is quite a nice wiew from the top. Donaldo has discovered my iphone, and he is making hundreds of selfies with it. he is also a little bit disappointed because he thought i will take him to Cartagena. well, he was expecting something, that i never promised.... as you can see, the lake of Guatape is also very interesting, as well as the village. quick lunch and back to Medellin. in Medellin we went to see club tobi. the taxi driver had no problem to find it, but it is not near Poblado.... i had some problems when entering, because i paid with a credit card, and they were out of paper with their card machine. they went to buy it...... and when they brought paper, they didn't know how to install the paper. Masseurs have found me immedeatly... really nice and muscled boys and we agree immedeately on a full massage. nice experiance and the boys were really beutiful. Full massage was 90.000 pesos ( 28 US$ or 25 EUR) . in the club there were some more very cute boys. i can not tell if they are available, but they were stunning... some twinks and 2-3 muscled, but not over muscled. just the right one. i am actually sorry, that i didn't go here before, because they looked great.... i would not go to Medellin just to visit club toby, but i would defenitely go to Club Tobi, when in Medellin.

second day in medellin. i wanted to see a coffee plantation. so i went to the tour in a village called Concordia. it is not very far, however roads are not good and the landscape is very mountainious. so it took as 2 hours to get there. first they took us from a van to a jeep and we went to see the plantation. it was quite big and steep. there were coffee bushes all around us. now it is not a main harvesting season (October), but some coffee is harvested all the time. we have tried raw coffee from the tree. looks like peanut, when peeled, and no taste of coffee at all. we were later shown, how the coffee is peeled, and separeted in water into extra quality (green coffee), regular coffee, and bad coffee ( what is according to them sold to mutinationals who make varios instant drinks). this was repeated all the time. we have seen Concordia village, market for wholesale of coffee there and had a nice lunch. returned to Medellin around 15.30. when we finished in the center of Medellin, the guide and myself went for a drink. jogo de guanabana, was turned into 2 coctails....... and soon my my guide was talking to a nice black boy there.... he came to our table, he also ordered guanabana juice. he spoke no english.... i speak a little bit of spanish, but when the boys stareted to speak fast i didn't understand anything. after a few minutes my guide said to me that the boy would go to hotel with us and have fun for some money. he said that he would do everything for a 150.000 (Around 46 USD or 42 Euro). ok, so we went. as I mention last time, no problem at the hotel. i have checked his ID already at a drink place and he is born in 1996, so he is ok. at the hotel as i said, we just said tha we have a guest for a few hours, no problem, they took his I.D. and put it in a room file. we stayed in a room for 3 hours, the guy was really very nice, hot and steamy... we had a dinner in a hotel after 21.oo, after that he left. i prefered sex with this guy much more to my guide.....

as i don'thave a lot of time, wiltoday only answer the questions. yes, i was adding one boy besides guide in medellin and one boy besides 2 guides in cartagena. medellin story coming tommorow or wednesday as i am busy. i was staying at "poblado alexandria hotel". it is a good place. there was no reaction to the guide, because i reerved a room for two and we came together. second day, before evening around 6 p.m. we invited anoter boy into the hotel. they took his I.D. and put it into our room file. when he left with us about two hours later the i.d. was given bak to him. however, please notice, thatwe were not making loud comments and laughs, but we were behaving like quiet guests. i was staying in medellin for 2 and half days. maybe one day more would be great, but only for the boys..... not for the city attracions itself. there is a lot of good food around, don't worry. something was chosen by my guide, i have chosen argentinian parrila..... there is a lot of italian places..... walking tous.... bogota..... bogota pass .... http://bogotapass.com/project/walking-in-candelaria-2-hs/ medellin..... realcity tours www.realcitytours.com

i have paid my guides 300.000 pesos a day, which is at time of my travel and smart exchange (ATM or Western union) 85 euros or 93 US dollars. i hvae paid them all drinks and food, and sometimes when i was shoping they also got something.... not in big numbers. as in Brazil boys appreciate to eat at good restaurants..... and really enjoy it. Locally i was flying AVIANCA. good, nothing special to mention about it. once my suitcase was delayed, and it came t my hotel room in 3-4 hours later. so, next day i was flying in Medellin, and my next companiero Donaldo was waiting for me at a luggage band. his english was very good, however the guy was very quiet and also shy..... Donaldo was very tired because he travelled 12 hours to Medellin to be here with me. he forgot to tell me that he is not from Medellin, be he wanted to..... make money. we went to hotel together, and i gave him 2 hours to sleep, because he was really in a poor condition. meanwhile i visited jacuzzi on the roof of my hotel. i was in a hotel alejandria in poblado area. again nice hotel, bright room, good breakfast, nice staff.... in the afternoon i went to walking tour of medellin. it is free tour. it takes 3 hours plus and i highly recommend it. our guide pablo was more actor than a guide and it was great. bogota tours are more about spanish period, however medellin tour is about 20th century, civil war, drugs,..... and modernization. city is safe, a lot of people on the street, and very lively. maybe someone will consider this torture of animals. however i found roulettle with guinea pig in the center of the street very funny. picture is enclosed. guinea pig is under a helmet in the center of the picture. helmet is slightly shaken and lifted. subs, guinea pig runs to one of helmets in the circle. if you have bet to that one, you can get 5 times what you have bet. however the winner is actually owner of the pig, he picks up money from other helmets.....

mhm, yes. i was staying at Celebrities suites, Cl 74, # 10-33 do not be be mislead by name. it is a hotel. it is nice. i liked it. rooms are very big. actually it is sleaping room and living room, with a nice bathroom with a big shower..... i recommend. as the room was reserved for 2, and we came together we had no problem being inside the hotel together. However, the faces of the guys were saying: " we know what kind of relationship you have...." and besides that one guy, cute, but small, was extremely friendly... my gay radar said that he would willingly join us for a modest reward after working time. at this point we have to know, that this guys gut very small payment for their regular job. if they work full time somewhere around 250 US$, and they are cronically without money. next day, my friend Mauricio and myself went to Zipaguira.It is a salt mine, with under earth catedral, and according to some travel guides, the biggest tourist attraction in Colombia. As I had my "companiero" i didn't want to spend money on travel agencies, who try to charge you 80 $ for a trip, we went by bus for small money as locals do. Zipaguira is 80 minutes from Bogota by bus. it is a salt mine from last 2 centuries, which has a big catedral on the bottom. the place is similar to salt mine near Krakow in Poland, a little bit smaller. However in Poland is everything black and white, but here the add various color lights and is more colorful pls a few attractions inside, as well as outside. think that 2 pictures will speak for itself..... next time I move to Medellin............

tomcal, is this application working offline? i use google translator, which is fine as long as you have wifi. however it does not work offline.

i was interrupting my reporting from Colombia, because i was not able to post pictures correctly from my phone. as now i am home and i have access from PC, i hope i will have better luck.... next day my friend Mauricio and myself went to mercado de usaguen. the big market is there only on sunday, however the neighbouring shops are open all days. there are some tourists, however 90 % of the visitors are columbians. they sell variety of domestic goods, like t-shirts, candles, soaps, ponchos, leather and textile goods. prices are very low and the quality of goods is nice. Mauricio was drinking juice of lulu fruit, which is micture of lemon and pinaple taste. fruit itself can be seen on a picture behind mauricio. for the evening we went to andres de res restaurant, that is located in a shopping mall in bogota. superb grill - parilla food. i highly recomend it. however don't forget the reservation it's packed. from restaurant we move to teatron. i have to see the largest disco club, particularly if it is gay. nice place to go and watch young colombians to dance. however, i think that on avarage guys are much nicer in brazil. maybe because, they are taller..... we don't try to connect to locals and retorn to hotel around 1.30 in the morning.....

It can be cool in the evening and in the mornng. Throughout the day is warm, between 20 - 25 degrees celzius. I was wearing a shirt and had a feeling that is too warm most of the day. Locals mostly wear sweaters and jackets, i thnk that they exegerate. Bogota is 2.700 meters above sea level, monserrat mountain is 3.200.

The first morning we went to fruit market in Palaquemao in Bogota. It is nice and clean place. A lots of various fruits. We have bought a small quantities of 5 types of fruits that i didn't know and strawberies for my friend. Very interesting tasting, and also Strawberries very delisious. Mauricio looks tired on this picture because we got drunk a night before with aguardiente. Then we went to center of the city and we have joined a free walking tour. The tour is organized by Bogota Pass as a teaser for other tours. Nice walking with a great looking guide. He told us a lot About indians, spaniards coming to columbia, and a city itself. This was followed by a trip to Monserrat, which is a mountain over Bogota. View was not much up to, because of hazy weather, but the air is fantastic. They even have a tree, with a strong pleasan smell, which is a drug. Therefore, it is not recomended to sleep under it. On the average the boys in columbia do not look as good as in brazil. Fitnes awareness is not that high, and boys are smaller. However, because of unemployment and low wages they are very available. Most of the boys do not want to talk about sex, also my mauricio. But when he is in hotel room, he turns into little devil. I was surprised, because on two occasions he actully wanted sex without condom, which i have thanfully declined.

I have arrived to bogota on friday afternoon. All arrival procedures were very swift So i could finally hug my bogota guide Mauricio. His english is not very good, but we can communicate. He knows llittle about Bogota sights, but i have prepared progran, so he just has to get us there. He shows me his ID. He was born in 1993 and he looks me very strange, why should i check his age as this is not important here. We went for a romantic dinner in restaurant called Santa fe, which i found on tripadvisor. Food and chillean wine are supurb. We continue to gay bar el perro y candelaria. My guide sad the place is not good. Well, i can Understand him, because it was for guides over 30, but it is very alive, crowded and good music. We have destroyed a small bottle of agurdiente, which brought us in a very hot moot. Mauricio is very cute and has a body of a twink. He was really hot, and he also enjoyed the night. The story continues....

when i prepared for my january trip of columbia, i have read this article. but i have also teste youtube on cuba, i have found gay cuban beach that has a name mi cajito. recordings show, that a visit would be interesting. as well as gay disco el divino. recordings are great. if the recordings are true, than gay life is much better than we write here. i have not been to cuba yet, can someone comment on those 2 locations....

there is a bar in ipanema on rua de amoedo. it is defenitely not a hustler bar. however, many gringos bring their night catch for a drink before they leave for the day, and the boys know about the place. the tonemai serves expensive coctails. but the boys usually walk around and they look, if someone, will invite them in and buy them a drink..... repeat, it is not a hustler bar, but you can meet a boy there. also wifi is working. don't forget about grindr. many around.

44 days to go. to my first trip to columbia. last year i brasil i was going to saunas. however for my trip to Ilha grande, i have found a boy on the net, that went with me. therefore i have established some contacts with the guys now. asked them to be my guide in each of the towns that i will visit. after some talking on the internet, after a few days, actually everyone was offering also sexs as a part of a package. i usually offered to them a daily package for 60-70 dollars plus food, drinks and tickets. i stressed the offer of money on guiding and language assistance. however, they came forward with sex proposals, one by one, sending pictures, etc. so now i have 2 guides waiting for me in each of the citiies. hopefully they will be there when i come. but according to messages that i get, they are pretty interested. because regular jobs for this boys is really low, and they can not go to nice restaurants or discos. one of them is a student, really hard working guy. he studies business administration, and learns english and french. he has send me video of his french learning. he works 6 hours in administration every day and he gets 200 dollars per month. i will keep you posted....

actually..... just as tom said. i have invited several guys to the appartment that i have rented. but i have always went with them for dinner or day in the beach, so that you actually start to know the person and you can estimate that is safe. if things go wrong in isolated place, you can not do much..... if you don't want to mingle with local boys "before the deed" i would strongly recomment sauna. it is controlled place.

i am talking to some students to be my guides. actually i have 2 for bogota and 2 for cartagena. none for medellin yet. it worked in brasil, hoefully it will work there. but you never know, before you are there..... grindr and hornet are options no 2. saunas are the last option, because i actually prefer semi profesionals, to those who are in business every day. but every country has its specifics. i know that....

take as little as possible to the beach. you may take an old iphone, just to be able to listen to the music and little money, actually just for umbrella, drinks. when you meet a boy, you can ask him for a 24 hour arrangement. it will cost you between 200 - 300 reaiis, dependin on your wish and the look of the boy. below is a guy i met at 117 and took to the beach nex day...

bogota 8-12 january medellin 12-15 january cartagena 15-22 january

After being to brazil several times, i have decide that this winter i will visit warm Columbia. i was also provoked by some articles on this site. i plan to visit bogota, medellin and cartagena. if anyone will be around columbia between january 8-23, let me know. maybe we can meet, go for a drink, exchange our expirences and information or even go for a manhunt. other will have to wait and you will read our stories, when we are there or back.

i have been now to brazil 3 times. always for 2-3 weeks, with traveling around, enjoy tourist attractions, music, food and boys. i am overweight, but i have never experienced any problem. boys want money, and they provide sex for money. as simple as that. tomcal put it in more lenght one or two replys up, but he is not overweight. ( i saw him, but he he was to busy with the boys, so we didn't meet) don't worry, but be polite, respect the boys, and they will fuck your your brains out. i personally preffer overnights, not quickies at 117 or MM. 2-3 drinks, dinner, and a long night of sex. i didn't post much about my last trip. it is still in my to do list. i had a great time.

As tomcal has suggested , i went to planetario sauna yesterday afternoon. I was there also last year, and i didn't like it to much. I have found the average age of escorts to high. Yesterday on saturday it was completely different. Boys were very nice and also in early to mid twenties. Asking price was 70 reais. I went with a qute 20 years old boy, and he was doing his best. Later yesterday evening i went to a guided night tour of salvador. First i went to local party of bad neighbourhood. People were dancing samba in a real erotic way. It was more like a love foreplay. After that i went to gay club called champagne. At first i was a little dissapointed, because it was very basic establishment. . But , when the music started.... There was a fat laty singing popular brazilian music, she had a strong voice and now the boys were dancing.... Really pure erotic pleasure, i took one video, more i was afraid, becauce someone, might not like it. I wanted to take one guy home, but my guide didn't let me. He said that today he is responsible for my security. Today there is gay day at the beach, let's see how it goes....

I will write about ilha grande and paraty again. When i get home and i will be able to post pictures correctly. However. I arrived to salvador de bahia yesterday afternoon. I stay in barra, because of the beach. I went to sauna paradise, which is really close and you can walk there - 15 minutes. Sauna is nice, clean, but there were no working boys. Most of the customers were over 35 and mingling among themself. Not worth of going from our perspective....
