I'm doing my first solo trip to Bogota before meeting a friend in Medellin. My plan is to meet a few sex workers who I've found through one of the agency recommendations here. Yes, I know this isn't recommended but I'll take several precautions and accept the risk. One issue is I can't find any place to stay where I can discreetly bring them back to. AirBnB makes it really hard to see which buildings have doormen and which have no guest policies. As far as I can tell from reading here and elsewhere, most hotels don't allow guests at all and if they do they have to register with the front desk and you have to pay an extra fee. This isn't ideal, I'd like somewhere that isn't so strict or at least a place I can walk up with them to without being bothered. There are so few houses available for rent in the city. I have a flexible budget and every reasonably nice house is on a gated street with its own security guard... so the exact same issue. I'm just trying to hookup with some guys discreetly. Are there any options other than motels? I've read a ton of threads here and feel like I may be missing something obvious.

I am planning a short trip to Colombia, first time ever, with my husband and trying to decide between Cartagena (better for my husband as it would be a beach hotel with just some trips into town for sex), Medellin (my favorite, mostly sex) or Bogota (sex and a bit of visiting, I guess). The key decision will be based on the best places where you can find hot guys, choose among the merchandise, and invite them to come to a bedroom (right there, to a love hotel, or to our hotel) for an hour. So, with these esteemed member's help, can we list the clubs / bars / saunas etc. where we can choose among many guys and make a monetary offer to them? Medellin: I only know of Club Tobi. Any other? Bogota: Is Theatron a place were we can buy young trade? Or is it just a gay club where 45-year-olds with not much muscle are going to be ignored? Cartagena: Anything there? Are some of the many gay bars in the San Diego/Getsemani area for trade? Also open to Baranquila info, if recommended. PS: I know that grindr will be great, but we are looking to be able to select "on sight".

Colombia: full list of hot spots
young11 replied to Tartegogo's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Any updates on where to go for massage in Bogota this year? How does it work? Contact via WhatsApp and get pictures and choose? Tips to the boy or all inclusive? Also if someone can tell me very briefly how the strip clubs work, that would be very helpful. -
Hey y'all! So I am here once again with my questions after reading about Colombia on this forum. Hope you can help. 1. For medellin I am finding better hotel deals for Laureles than El Poblado. Is Laureles a safe place to stay? 2. I see that uber might not be the best app, what app do you recommend then? 3. From reading about Colombia, it does not seem like a place where you have GP saunas like Barcelona or Brazil. However, some say Sauna Saint Moritz have 'massuers' sometimes, is that true? and is it true for both locations (medellin & bogota)? Also is there any other GP sauna in Colombia? Thank you 😊

Spending next week in Colombia - half in Bogota, half in Medellin. Hoping to get some good intel from anyone who might have visited recently. Looks like many of these threads are years old and the info is probably out of date. I've been to both cities before and had some really good luck on Grindr and Mileroticos. Unfortunately I did have one terrible experience though. I don't feel comfortable sharing the specifics here, but I learned to watch for warning signs for future encounters. Make sure profiles have a face and legit social media. Would love to get some recommendations for guys to spend time with... and warnings for anyone I should avoid. Mostly into twinks and muscle twinks. Once they hit bodybuilder phase, I'm out. In Bogota, I'm planning to head to Garage. I went once to Gigolo House (I think that's where I went... 3 levels place?) but had no idea how things work there and I speak only a little Spanish. Then probably Theatron. In Medellin, seems like the scene is all online but if you know of a good spot, would love to check it out. Reply here or in a private message if you prefer. I'll be checking in a few times before I fly. -
1. As safe as any. Different vibe compared to Poblado. 2. I only used Über but with no difficulties but limited to the main more distant airport and in-town airport transfers. Otherwise, the efficient Metro, as I have stayed within walking to Poblado or Estadio stations. Or just walked shorter distances as plenty of accessible dining options or more convenient to walk among major sight zones once off the Metro train, example Parque Berrio. Metro to Caribe station for regional bus to Guatapé. 3. St Moritz either city has working trade consistently. I think they are pretty much it but I am likely less ambitious than most in terms of unearthing the full range of options. I wrote up a little about Spa Sexto Sentido in Bogotá; it has some hire options but location off the beaten path. Lengthy but inexpensive Über ride to and from.

Yes and yes. The University area is very desirable and you are within walking distance to Palmero which is a trendy and upcoming neighbourhood for cafés and restaurants in Bogotá. The area is mostly residential (the home of the original Ugly Betty is nearby and a big tourist attraction) but there is a nice scene emerging in that zona. The BH hotel chains are in every Colombian city and are a modern, comfortable option for a hotel stay. Great choice and very central if you want to explore the city outside of Chapigay. The one drawback, while not major, is crossing El Dorado is a pain as a pedestrian. Make sure your taxi driver knows what exito to take from El Dorado to arrive at the hotel before they start the meter. Other than that, enjoy Bogotá.

Does anyone know if this is a good hotel and a safe area to stay in? NH Bogotá Urban 26 Royal Carrera 33N # 25F-18, Bogotá, Distrito Capital, 111321 https://www.expedia.com/Bogota-Hotels-NH-Bogota-Urban-26-Royal.h6948343.Hotel-Information?chkin=2024-05-29&chkout=2024-06-02&x_pwa=1&rfrr=HSR&pwa_ts=1715546000268&referrerUrl=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZXhwZWRpYS5jb20vSG90ZWwtU2VhcmNo&useRewards=false&rm1=a2®ionId=178238&destination=Bogotá+(and+vicinity)%2C+Distrito+Capital%2C+Colombia&destType=MARKET&neighborhoodId=553248635964996930&latLong=4.627899%2C-74.081017&sort=RECOMMENDED&top_dp=55&top_cur=USD&userIntent=&selectedRoomType=202021301&selectedRatePlan=211781740&searchId=fbf50e07-1aca-422d-9418-1cc3f290021f

@Young11 Yes. Chapigay is literally how the locals refer to the neighbourhood. Chapigay colloquially is the barrio within Chapinero where all of the gay saunas, bars, discos and restaurants can be found. Chapinero barrio is everything between Calle 72 (to the north) to Calle 26 (south), and between Calle 1 (above in the the hills) to Avenida Cra 30 which is technically the main North - South transportation conduit in the city (and where the new metro line is being built). Chapigay zona is a much more condensed. You can focus on the area between Calle 66 in the north to Calle 58 Bis (precisely the street entrance to Theatrón) in the south. Everything is located between Carrera 13 and Carrera 7 to the West and East respectively. So if you book something within walking distance to these locators, you will be just fine. To be fair, there are other places outside of this neighbourhood, but this should be enough to keep you busy for a first tour. For fun I searched Google for a map of Chapigay to get you started. https://www.google.com/maps/search/chapigay+bogota/@4.6432589,-74.0606375,16z/data=!3m1!4b1?entry=ttu The best resource for events-bars-saunas is the Guia Gay Colombia but it is only available in español https://www.guiagaycolombia.com/ Good luck with your planning.

concentration of general tips about visiting medellin
babybear2 replied to 12is12's topic in Gay Colombia
Bogota sounds even more dangerous than Rio. Busy street with lots of people are pretty safe in Brazil -
Hello 👋 has anyone used https://www.escortsbuk.com/home.html in Medellin or Bogota? if yes, how was your experience? Thanks!
-
Thanks so chapigay is basically Chapinero close to Parque de los Hippies? around that area any recs for saunas and massage places where I can hire? I know saunas in Colombia are not like the ones in Brazil but I am trying to find some ways to hire easily without involving any online hiring first. I read a few places for strip clubs in other forums but couldn't get recent extensive info about Bogota

For a first visit, stay in Chapigay. Everything is walking distance and all of the gay-ness is walking distance. There are also a few clubs and bars in Zona T immediately north of Chapinero. Yes, the buildings in the hills above Avenida 7 are considered a very desirable place to live with excellent restaurants and amenities. As for guests, this topic has been covered to death here. The vast majority of hotels will charge for overnight guests. Find out the fee in advance. Some exceptions to the rule have been shared here. If you want total access, it's Airbnb/VRBO for you and expect mandatory registration of all guests with the doorman/security. You may luck out on a building without that, but it is to your benefit as has been discussed previously. If you absolutely cannot abide either option, there are tons of love motels in the zona and multiple sauna options. FWIW When in Bogotá I stay either in upper Chapinero or in the Parque Virrey neighbourhoods. I also walk frequently alone at night because I know the city and the different barrios. For a first-time visitor, use Uber or Indriver and stay safe. Enjoy!
-
There are definitely a lot of clubs, saunas & massage parlors, Id say stay in Chapinero close to Parque de los Hippies, you can stay on the nicer side of Avenida 7(?), but overall Bogota isn't that safe to walk around at night unless there's a lot of people out or you're in a group, unless you wanna stay far away from all the action.

So we ended up going to Cartagena & Bogota for a few days. I'm very disappointed that I didn't end up going to Gabanna, a lot of the locals told me not to go, but it seemed like everyone was there during the weekend and someone invited me on Sunday, but by that time I was out & drunk already in the walled city. For this one spot alone I'm ready to go back to CTG, I don't necessarily need a plethora of places, I like off the beaten path. I also got invited to Avatar but never made it, didn't hear or see much about Gemini or Crazy Breeze if it still exists. Had a really great night at City Club, the one gay club in the central neighborhoods, it's really just a regular club, & very small, but made some friends, one off grindr, & we had a great night. Cartagena was difficult at first because most hotels & airbnbs are very guarded (literally, with door people) about visitors. Some of the guys have spots though. First few days were frustrating, but I finally found some hourly hotels in Getsemani. One wouldn't let me use it if it was with a chico instead of a chica, but the other one was fine & the woman working it was very accommodating. It was 30 pesos for the hour & I think 125 for the night. Even though I was in Bogota monday to wednesday, tuesday was basically a weekend night because of May Day, & the streets were crawling. We didn't go to Theatron though because someone mistakenly told me it would be open wednesday, but we had a great time at a salsa bar. I figured a lot of people would be off for the holiday, so that was the day I chose to hit up a sauna. I went to St. Moritze, & there must have been at least 50 guys there. 24 pesos I believe to get in. I don't know how much a massage is because I didn't. There were all ages, plenty of fine dudes, & at the same time it was both hot/sexy but also chill & not overly aggressive. Final conclusion...I need to go back to both places
-
This is exactly my type... no shortage of these in Medellin and Bogota. Grindr has a ton of options. Let me know if you find any bath houses or clubs that are good for finding twinks -
Basically I'm thinking about going to Peru in August. I like stripper bars but I don't know anything about Lima, Peru. As an FYI I've already been to: Santiago, Chile BA, Argentina Mexico City, Mexico Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic Sao Paulo, Brazil Rio, Brazil San Jose, Costa Rica Bogota, Colombia Medellin, Colombia Cartagena, Colombia Montevideo, Uruguay But I want to try somewhere new and Peru has been on my bucket list but I don't see anything about gay clubs or saunas or stripper bars. Any opinions as to if it's worth my time to go there and if they have any of the above (male strippers, saunas)?

Hey. As a young retiree, I've been to Colombia several times this year, with a view to perhaps settling there for the long term (looking for a one year place to rent will be the goal for my january trip) for boys of course, weather during European winters and the way of life. I'm going back in a few days, for some weeks. I have multiple and anonymous partners, both paid and unpaid. I'm taking PrEP but on my first trip this year (on the last few days, hopefully) I got an STI.😱 For the trip that followed, I drastically reduced the number of my partners... It's not the first time I've had one (usually one of the three : syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea), I know quickly because I usually have strong symptoms that I quickly recognise as it's always in the throat. For the antibiotic treatment to work, you need to know what the STI is. Having an STI is one thing but being positive and contaminate other guys is another, so testing is essential. In my country / city testing is easy, quick and free of charge for sex workers (includind foreigners) and LGBT people. I was wondering if there were any places in Bogota where to get tested anonymously (especially for strangers with a low level in spanish language, let's say A2-), discreet, free of charge or not and treated if positive. If not, does anyone know how STD testing and treatments work in Bogota? At what cost approx? A big thank you.

Brazil Visa Requirement Postponed Again
floridarob replied to asdsrfr's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I'm at Hampton Inn...it's hit and miss who's at the entrance, but my friend has had a couple a day in his room and the worst thing is you have to register them. But I learned last night that a Venezuelan ID isn't sufficient here, has to been a passport or Colombian ID card, we went to a sex motel....was worth it! I'm heading to Bogota today. Keep in mind I've been going to brazil 25 years, I have quite a few contacts there as well, speak both Spanish & Portuguese....they're so similar it's not that hard to pick up both.....change of scenery is always good and the restaurants I've been to in Medellin blow Rio out of the water with the variety and quality. -
How did you like Bogota?
-
During my time in Bogota, I have made the following observations: 1. Colombians seem to be more interested in condoms than Brazilians. I’m guessing Colombia does not handout free PrEP to anyone that wants it, correct? 2. The tocos at Leono Birria are delicious.
-
Are there any night clubs with full nude / erect dancers? Last time I was there I did not find any, even Theatron had dancers but did not go full nude
-
I just got back from Colombia and yes there is a strong preference for condoms in Bogota and Medellin. Maybe a third of the guys I contacted lost interest or wanted some exorbitant price (1 million pesos) to fuck without one. A few others were mollified once I showed them my PREP / DoxyPEP bottles. One guy I met up with on Grindr said that it's very difficult for Colombians to access PREP and he said it was unusual to meet Colombian guys who were taking it.
-
I will be visiting Bogota 14 June and im trying to figure out where are the best spots to meet rent boys. I know its not like Brazil were you have saunas dedicated for rent boys. Please let me know any and all recommendations. Also, any sites that list escorts or personal contacts you can provide. I would love to find a english speaking guide.

Mompóx is one of my favourites, but a long trip by car. Feel free to DM me and I can discuss — have driven down to Mompóx from Cartagena and from Tolú. If you want something different, I suspect you would enjoy Bogotá scene over Medellin simply because Bogotá is in your face while Medellin takes a bit to figure out. Just pack for cooler nights. i have been spending my winters here in Medellin for the past 7 years (here now) so feel free to send me specific questions and I will try to answer quickly.
