Bogota. Worth the trip just for the Gold Museum----hundreds of pieces of Pre-Columbian solid gold artwork. A gay area of town, many gay bars, and several saunas with "masseurs". A very modern European-like big city. But the guys are 100 times better looking in Medellin and it costs half as much, max.

Between those two pick Bogota....just be careful I would pick another destination....

Club Tobi is just 4 short blocks off the main street (Oriental) in the center of Medellin. It's just an address/street number outside. A must-see. Bogota is a huge European-like city. Several saunas with boys. Unfortunately it's European-like prices and the guys in Bogota are not attractive. The Gold Museum in Bogota is a must-see tourist spot. Medellin is completely different. Very inexpensive, great looking friendly guys. Grindr works well- they post as "Prepaygo"- slang from prepaid phones that means escort. Poblado is further down from the center than the Lauriel neighborhood.

1st Timer Colombia here from Amsterdam. I am planning a trip to Colombia and will visit BOGOTA, MEDELLIN AND SANTA MARTA. Can anyone advise about places to stay? I am looking at Airbnb in Chapinero but maybe it is safer and better to stay in a hotel? Same counts for Medellin, Poblado? Airbnb or hotel? I read about 61 Prado guesthouse in Medellin. It is cheap and people are very positive about it. It's 5 minutes walking to metrostation PRADO. Not sure if the area is safer than Poblado? The area is called "La Candelaria" so if anyone has some feedback it is highly appreciated. Many guys talk about CLUB TOBI but is it easy to find? I don't understand the EAST side and the WEST side of the Cathedral. The WEST side is really bad so how can I avoid ending up there? So how to get to CLUB TOBI...the taxi drivers would know how to get there? I met a nice guy on CB and after a while he gave me his Whatsapp and we are still talking on the Whatsapp. He even showed himself on the videocall so he is as real as it gets. You guys surely have seen him on CB but anyway... I am not keeping my hopes up that he actually will meet me in Medellin. So guys, any advice on places to stay, etc. etc. This is the guy from CB that is texting me daily on my whatsapp. Cheers and have fun you all!!

I'm really excited for my next trip to Colombia although is not my first time there. If any of you guys, is planning to be there the second half of September and want to share a beer or just travel tips, let me know. I do speak spanish, so may be I could be of any help. I'll be in Bogota 2 or 3 days, in Medellin 5 days and as I don't know Cali yet, I think I could give it a go (caleños I mean).

So this may be a stupid question, but is there such a thing as a quiet place to stay in Medellin? Every time I find a hotel or an apartment I like, I read the reviews and they all say how noisy it is and that you can't sleep until 3a-4a. These are mostly in the Poblado area. Even the most expensive hotels (Charlee) appear to have this problem. Should I just scrap Medellin and go to Bogota instead? Is it any better there?

I'm planning my first trip to Colombia (18-26 November 2017) from the USA. I originally had planned to visit Bogota, Medellin, Cali and maybe Cartegena, but since I don't have that much time and really don't want to hop on multiple flights, I'm considering flying direct to Medellin from Miami. Lots of hot Medellin guys on CB (even more than Bogota) but getting info so I can contact them when in Colombia has been tedious to say the least. Have had a few give me their whatsapp number so we will see how that goes and I still have 4 months to go. I was happy to see the Fercho business and the other escort websites, very helpful! I was disappointed to see that so many of the Grindr profiles were fake or misleading. Guess I assumed that more of a US thing. All the more reason I like Fercho. I checked my AT&T plan and it will be easy to add an international daily plan that will allow me to basically continue my current plan in Colombia for $10/day. So now I'm looking for a place to stay. I'm torn between a hotel and and an apartment. I'd really prefer the space and privacy an apartment offers vs. having hotel staff play big brother. Yet I totally understand the security factors as well and have read this entire thread. I've been scouting out VRBO.com and Expedia.com Hopefully the planning will go well and I'll have some hot stories and pics to share this Fall! If anyone else from here will be there in late November please let me know.

Here is another link to Bogotan guys. $ included https://www.gigoloerotichouse.com/acompanantes-24-horas-en-bogota

Mentioned website doesn't provide the best samples around in my opinion. And they are way overpriced. Try https://co.mileroticos.com/escorts-gay/bogota/ instead. Or rely on good old Grindr.

Indeed, the one in the hotel. Is the only playground open 24/7 in Bogota, I dare say in Colombia. There were no masseur when I was there a few weeks ago. What does the service include?

ah ok, get what you mean. However, I walked to and from Prado station, along Calle 57. I wouldn't wonder further west though, to the other side of the metro line. Those barrio's are indeed sketchy. It's hard to imagine for non-Colombians that one block can be OK and the next is AYOR or even worse. I had a guy over who asked me for an Uber in Bogota to cross Av. Caracas (cr. 14): my apartment was on one side, his was on the other, one block further. As I asked him if the Uber was really necessary for those 80(!) metres he looked at me: "Duh! Yes! Nobody wants to cross Caracas after eight!". Hmmm ok......I did the night before.....lol.

The west side of the cathedral has a couple allegedly gay spots but is incredibly dangerous, even in daytime. ie: Expect you will be mugged. The east side of the cathedral west of Oriental Ave. is where the gay hustler bars and the sex hotel are. Pretty safe being right on the main street. But ugly guys. The east side of Oriental is fine and a much better more residential in-town neighborhood. I actually stayed in the Gran Hotel there. Was about $30 but a perfectly clean decent family/tourist hotel. ( I imagined a revolving-door of guys from the hustler bars----boy was I disappointed). Club Tobi only has a number out front. You have to have the address. It's 2 or 3 blocks east of Oriental (the main street) in the center of downtown. Not unsafe at all and 100% worth going there first. There are several saunas with masseurs in Bogota, but the prices are double and the guys are at best half as good looking as Club Tobi. And they just mostly massage in Bogota. Club Tobi is full sex on a massage table beginning to end for like $30 by very good looking guys. I'd go to M just for Club Tobi.

For the first timer I would definitely advise booking hotel. Most hotels are ok with visitors although cheaper ones will often charge you 40 000 COP for each guest going to your room. Prado and Candelaria aren't the safest areas - Poblado and Laureles are much better options. Motels are everywhere in Latin America, but stay clear of the cheapest ones. To be honest, you can find hot guys all over Colombia so any big city is a good option. No need to stay in Medellin for too long. Tourists don't go to Barranquilla, but it's a super fun place if visiting on weekends for gay clubs and grindr hook ups. Colombia has an awesome gay scene in most big cities, but if you older you might feel out of place - crowd tends to be younger. Teatron is superb - Saturday is the big night - 13 rooms and up to 10 000 clubbers. Easily the biggest gay club in the world. In Medellin the biggest gay club is called VIVA, but I did not go there. In Bogota, apart from Teatron, there is also El Mozzo and some good saunas. In Cartagena D8 is very stylish gay club and in Barranquilla you can either go to Rumours or Lives. All the places are packed solid on weekends and in case of Teatron and Lives you talking thousands of people. Club Tobi is in the city centre - ok day time, but edgy after dark. Few escorts and plenty of old guys. Make sure you got the address - its super discreet - only an open door and the stairwell leading up. Taxi drivers will not know exactly, but they will use the address.

@snwbrdr015 thanks for your comments. Your reports and insights are so helpful I read them all. Do you suggest to stay in a hotel as a 1st timer or can I try airbnb? Of course I will take your advice and meet they guys 1st in a cafe or another public place before deciding to invite them over. Do they have the motel by the hour as well in Medellin? (Must be..silly question I guess?) The latino boys are sure on the top of my "to-do" list but I also want to experience Colombia's beauty as for architecture, the colonial styles, zona cafetaria etc. Maybe meet a boy 1st and if he is what I am looking for taking him as my tour guide or just companion along the trip. Anyway your help is much appreciated. Your contributions here highly highly appreciated by everyone for sure. I have 4 weeks to spend in Colombia so I gues the major time should be spend in Medellin yes? Bogota is good for 3 or 4 days? I definitely want to see Theatron in Bogota...heard so much about it. If you have any more suggestions please let me know. Oh yeah.. Club Tobi ..Medellin... taxi drivers will know where it is? I can speak a reasonable amount of Spanish but not sure if they would know what it is. Any experiences with UBER in Medellin? Thanks again.

I am going to Bogota in June. Please tell me about the hotel you stay and the motels you use. Thanks! appreciate it

INTRODUCTION: Whenever I travel abroad, I like to visit the well known tourist attractions, sites and enjoy nature. However...one needs relaxing too right. That's when I like to try out, how I call it, the ' local cuisine'. I'm a 39 yo guy from Holland, I love to travel and I have a healthy appetite for sex. I consider myself a true versatile and see this as my good fortune: you get to taste a variety of flavors :-). In this post I'd like to share some of my adventures in Colombia and doing so, share information for others to enjoy. It's all genuine experiences, feel free to comment. SAFETY: Hearing more and more positive stories on Colombia, recent changes for peace and safety in the country and the stunning beauty of all these Colombian webcam boys, led me to believe that this was the time to check it out myself. I plannend a three week trip to Colombia in which I would visit Bogotá, Medellín and Cathagena. Since I was never in Colombia before, I thought it was a good idea to start of in the popular cities before heading out to the more rural parts of the country. If you read the reports on the internet regarding safety, street crime and violence you get pretty anxious. So was I the forst two days. Afterwards I relaxed more and I can now say: you'll be be all right. It's perfectly safe als long as you go by some basic rules. First: stay in the safe areas (there is enough info on google), don't go to infamous neighborhoods, only take a little cash when you go out and don't wear or carry obvious valuables (e.g. watches, iPhones, jewelry). I always put some emergency money in my shoes for when a pickpocket gets me. When I needed my phone, I used it discrete and I kept it in a hidden pocket. Secondly: don't walk the streets after dark, take a taxi using the different apps. My favorite was Uber: safe, documented and no cash involved. Loved it. Last: be aware of your surroundings, don't leave your drink unattended. Basically these rules should be applied by every visitor in every city in the world I think. Once these rules were in my system, I started to enjoy the place! Besides that I rented my private apartment which gave me a very secure feeling and, subsequently, a place to play when needed :-) SEX (Grindr): Latinos. You heard the stories: great bodies, macho, big dicks and always horny. Trust me...they're all true! These guys are horny all the time and insatiable. First thing we all do in a new place? Check out Grinder. Dear readers: if you switch on your Grindr in Colombia, it lights up like a fucking Christmas tree! After 10 minutes I had over 12 conversations going of which 8 were promising.And remember, this was roughly at noon. The guys are straight to the point, so it's easy to filter out the 'prepagos' (rent boys). Young, old, big, small, top, bottom...the choice is overwhelming. In Bogotá I agreed to meet this nice 24yo in a public place: Juan Valdez Coffee (Starbucks eat your heart out, this is real Colombian coffee!) still a little weary on safety of course. Speaking Spanish is helpful, but this fine specimen was fluent in english. From a well of background, eager to meet a foreigner. In fact, being a visiter is a plus, because these horny young men are extra eager to meet you since its more discrete for them. He was late, but when he came walking down it was worth the waiting: 1.78, dark hair, lean, slightly muscular even (foto's attached). After some chit chat the topic of sex came up. His dick grew in his jeans. I mean, from where I was sitting I could see it. He noticed me checking his package, so he gently took my hand under the table an placed it on his bulge. My jaw dropped. He was rock hard and looked at me with a smile whilst give me the sexiest wink ever! I looked around, but we were fine. He then proposed me to go to a Motel, which is a nice name for a fuck shack. They are very common in Latin America, since most of the families live in packed apartments with no room for privacy. Now you understand even better why these guys are so eager... Keep in mind, this was my first day in Bogotá so I was till a little on edge! But hey, why not. I felt safe, it was daytime and he looked ok. Off we went in an Uber and ended up in Calle 58, This is where the great club Theatron is situated. We got a room, no questions asked. The staff know why you are there, it's their business model, so really, they don't give a shit. We locked the room and without any delay this horny fuck puppy starts kissing and undressing. He reveals a body to die for. Your typical toned twenty-something type of body like the ones you wank to on PornHub. He then took his jeans down and stripped his brief. A big cock jumps out to freedom. Not a curve, just a straight 21cm, rock hard monster with a shiny head. He guided my head down to his cock. This friendly guy turned macho. 'You want it?' he asks looking down on me. Sure! This guy knows his stuff: it's not romance, it's pure porn. After a while he returns the favor and then asks me if he can fuck me. Sure again! I ask him to be gentle and, the gentleman he is, he enters with care. OMG, this guy knows his stuff! Later on I discover that having sex is like a second nature to Colombian boys. They start early and know their shit. Anyway, tenderness is over and mr. 'I'm-24-and-I-have-lots-of-energy' starts pounding me like a pro. His sweaty ball slap agains me. First on my back, then doggy. I ask to switch positions again, because I love to watch this sweaty hunk work out as he fucks me. I can only take so much, but before I can ask him to ease down, he pull out and takes of his condom. Wow. His unloads 5 times, hits my face with his cum shower three times. I was drenched and came right after. The smile on his face was one with pride. We cleaned up and got dressed and left the motel. On the street we both went our separate way and I was amazed how casual it all went. Colombia promised to be interesting...and so it would turn out to be as there are more stories to tell. ;-)

@M2Sexy : Bro, don't sweat it! You're in Colombia the home of CB! Would you be shy about bringing guys to your room in Thailand? Hell no! Bad things happen and I'm sure the staff has seen more than their fair share given their liberal guest policy. Just give them a small tip when you leave and all will be forgiven. You'll be remembered as the rich tourist who met a bad guy and lived to tell about it. Now get out there and continue to support the local economy! On a serious note, these guys are not crazy. You would think they would be grateful earning 2-3 days worth of wages in an hour and many are! However, you have to understand Colombia like all countries has a status pyramid. They are not a virtual social democracy like most of the industrialized economies. My old boss use to work in Bogota and there are neighborhoods there you will pay 1-3K USD a month for rent. Even in Medellin a guy told me of a "friend" who lives in a 1.5K a month apartment/condo. Just like in the States guys want to increase their status but, when they have so little and are exposed to so much some just try for the quick buck. That guy may have drug, gang or family problems. That does not excuse the attempted assault! However, remember that we still live in a blessed society compared to many others. As I said before "rough trade" is called that for a reason Now get out there with your new sense of caution and take as many tops as your holes can handle! The next trip will be even better as you will have a reliable network of guys to fall back on. You can even plan that orgy with Crixus and the model from Fercho you've been dreaming of.

@M2Sexy : Have you tried the Manhunt website or https://co.mileroticos.com/escorts-gay/antioquia/? If you really get desperate just go to https://chaturbate.com/male-cams/ or Flirt4Free. There are lots of hot and hungry guys in Medellin, not as many as Bogota but, I know they exist

I went in a cabina in the gay area of Bogota but it was just dirty video booths and no one else was there.

@likeohmygod : I totally agree, I've had many guys invite me to their place while visiting Latin America. I have only once taken them up on their offer and that was because this was a guy I've played with before and had a good rapport with prior to. Going to a strange guy's place, play or free, is usually an unnecessary risk. Unless, you meet somewhere beforehand so that you can evaluate your playmate and trust that this guy lives in a safe neighborhood I would not recommend home visits. However, I'm a paranoid middle age professional form an industrialized country. Please remember that we are meeting potentially shady guys for hot times, this is not a backpacking trip or a missionary adventure. If you really think that you can handle potentially dangerous situations in an unfamiliar country, please feel free to indulge. I just hope that you speak more than the tourist Spanish that I do or you may attract unnecessary attention. http://colombiareports.com/video-dutch-man-kidnapped-bogota-escapes-along-rooftops/ I took the Transmilenio right past this neighborhood in Bogota and it looked like bad news. Luckily, my habits and vices are a bit more restrained

I've been to the saunas in Rio and of course the number of masseurs there is much better. (I've also been to most of the escort scenes in North and South America and Europe). When I was there Christian was the best masseur at Club Tobi. On anyone's scale he would be an 8 or 9. Exceptionally good-looking Spanish European blood with a muscled body he worked on when not "working" in the club. An extremely versatile "Marky Mark" looking guy who gives the best head and has an incredibly firm butt.. There are only two giving "massages" at a time at Club Tobi, although off-duty masseurs are working cleaning or the bar and can service customers sometimes. (I find the worst aspect of "massages" in Columbia is having to use the real massage tables for sex ! ) I still think Medellin and Club Tobi are terrific values being so close to Miami. And with the abundance of great looking guys in Medellin I would think a high-paying job like Club Tobi would be sought after. My experience was certainly influenced by visiting the many saunas with "masseurs" in Bogota first. Many more masseurs but twice (at least) as expensive for considerably less action and I didn't see any there more than "passable" out of over 100. ( Medellin has a reputation for good-looking people, while Bogota does not). The saunas in Bogota are not very clean or pleasant either. Having availability to Christian and two other good-looking guys at Tobi daily for next-to-nothing made my 4 days in Medellin exceptional. But it is a small number and they don't post photos of the current masseurs.

@bobbalino : I messed with a Venezuelan guy in Bogota last year and I had several regulars in Miami. To a small extent I have benefited from the government facilitated diaspora. Though the misery experienced by the Venezuelans without connections who couldn't get a passport to leave the country is terrible and I would not wish that on anybody.

@likeohmygod : I agree with you 100%! You went with a friend who could ac as a local fixer and apparently you were able to leverage their social network and contacts to have a pleasurable stay. However, most guys on this board are not so blessed. I really love Venezuelan guys but, for me the risk is currently unacceptable. I've taken long meandering walks on the streets of Baltimore, Memphis, Chicago, Philadelphia, Mexico City, Medellin, Bogota, Santo Domingo and many other "dangerous" cities. I will hazard that the members of this forum have a heightened "perceived risk tolerance" compared to the average citizen of the industrialized economies. However, Venezuela gives even people like me pause. If you have to go for work you may have no choice but, please make sure that you can get a trusted local fixer to guide you and that what you are being offered is extraordinary. There are lots of gorgeous Colombian and Brazilian guys who are comparable with the universally acknowledged beauties of South America. I take the media reports with a grain of salt but, all my contacts tell me only bad things regarding Venezuela right now. @whall : If you must go please make sure that it is worth it, that you will have a trusted local to guide you and that you write a good sitrep for this board If the media and all my contacts have been blowing smoke and Venezuela is actually some gorgeous guy paradise I want to know!

Looks like they have Uber in Bogota and Medellin. Any experience with Uber from recent visitors?

Looking into flying to Bogota in late August over Labor Day and returning around September 11. Perhaps fly into Bogota and spend a few days and then head to Medellin for most of the trip, returning to SEA from there. Flights include rather long layovers. Any suggestions for lodgings? I'm thinking of maybe a short-term rental in the Poblado estrato in Medellin.
