I just returned from 10 days in Colombia and I thought I would share my experience. It was my 4th or 5th time to Colombia and as always had a great time. Bogota--Arrived late Friday in order to enjoy Teatron on a Saturday night. As many know Teatron is the large nightclub that is truly amazing. Many floors and rooms for dancing and music. The top floor is men only and has naked strippers. Others have suggested that they might be available but I am not so sure. Very little opportunity to talk with them as they are on and off the stage pretty quickly. My local friend says that they have more strippers on Tuesday night than on the weekend--but my favorite night to visit is Saturday when all of the club is open and there is plenty of eye candy in the crowd. As far as hookups--Grindr is the way to go in Bogota(and really all of Colombia). Lots of free offers-- and the working guys in Bogota seemed to be happy with 70-90,000 pesos. There is a Sauna called Saint Moritz that has massage available but every time we visited the massage guys had already left around 6-7pm. If that is what you were looking for then get there earlier like 4-5pm. That seems to be the peak time for Saunas in both Bogota and Medellin. Bogota has a lot to see and you should not miss the view from Monseratte--ride up on the tram or funicular. I stayed at the Novotel--no problem with guests and they take a copy of the ID at the front desk. A friend had multiple guests over the course of the trip and they did not charge him extra with a double room booked. Very nice hotel, great breakfast and good neighborhood. Medellin--Medellin is a beautiful City with a great climate. I stayed at an airbnb in a nice neighborhood called Laurelles--lots of trees and good places to eat. I have some warnings about Medellin that really apply to everywhere in Colombia--more on that later. Lot's to see in Medellin including the Botanic Garden in the city--and a large park outside the city called Park Arvi. Park Arvi is accessed but the Metrocable which is the tram that acts as mass transit around parts of the city. Getting there involves a few different changes between lines but is really easy if you google the instructions. There is a very fun, clean and beautiful sauna called Club 55. This is not a working boy sauna but they do have massage available that I'm told rapidly turns into something else. Again all of the massage guys were gone by 7. The very friendly, cute, and frisky locals tell me that peak time for the sauna is like 5-6pm. It has a bar, jacuzzi and is very clean and modern. You can definitely have fun for free here. Several hot working boys on Grindr in Medellin--they seem to want more than Bogota--like 150000pesos ($43). Medellin is where two people close to me had potentially serious problems within 24hours of each other. In the first situation a good friend from the US who lives there, fluent spanish speaker, and is very savvy about having guys over was drugged and robbed by someone he met online and invited to his apartment. He has lived there for over 10 years and this was the first time anything like this had ever happened. He spent the night in the hospital but is fine now. In the second incident I met a guy on grindr and we had a hot time. I'll admit I took a chance by having him back to my airbnb but I felt comfortable enough with the guy enough to refer him to another friend who was traveling with me. My friend wanted to meet up with the guy and they agreed on a price to meet up. This is where my friend made a big mistake. He agreed to go to they guy's nearby apartment(also in a nice neighborhood) and the guy who had just hours before been nice and friendly with me became very aggressive with my friend and took the money that they had agreed on up front and then demanded more before he would do anything. When my friend (a native spanish speaker) decided to just leave--this guy blocked his exit and started screaming and demanding more money even though they hadn't done anything. My friend gave him another wad of cash and beat a quick retreat. It easily could have escalated into something worse. In all cases this could have been avoided by following the usual safety measures talked about on this board. The reality though in Medellin is that many hotels do not allow guests and "love motels" are not that prevalent or are located in Centro far from the areas where most people stay. I'm not sure what the best solution is for Medellin in this regard. Barranquilla and Carnival--I have some younger friends that live in Barranquilla that I wanted to visit and this was an ideal weekend because it was Carnival there. I have been to Cartagena many times and enjoyed it but this was my first trip to Barranquilla. Carnival was in the air as I landed at the airport and the beer companies were passing out cans of beer to arriving travelers on the way to baggage claim. I have never been at an airport where I had drank two free beers before I had claimed my luggage! Barranquilla is a pleasant city and I stayed in a nice high rise air BNB with security at the front desk--but they let my friends pass by as long as they were with me. These are guys I have known since they were college students and are now in graduate school and working and I trust 100%. The carnival in Barranquilla is a big deal and last year there were over a million visitors. Prices for hotels and apartments go up just like Rio. The highlight of carnival is a big carnival parade on Saturday in centro. I relied on my local friends advice and we all got an early start on Saturday to go watch the parade. Unfortunately the area is for the most part blocked off with high barriers that block any view of the parade unless you buy a ticket to a private seating area. Those tickets were being sold by scalpers for upwards of $100usd per ticket. In the end we gave up on watching the parade due to the crowds and heat and the fact that we were unable to find any public viewing area that was accessible. My friends complain that each year the viewing area open to the public for free gets less and less and more of the parade is blocked from view by barriers. From what I did see though the parade in Barranquilla focusses more on colorful costumes and dancing than on the elaborate floats and displays at carnival in Rio. Like carnival in Rio there are street parties but these are more enclosed events where you pay admission as opposed to the free bloccos in Rio which are more open and free flowing. The biggest difference--and for me this is huge--is that in Barranquilla despite the heat at Carnival I did not see a single guy with their shirt off whereas in Rio the display of shirtless male bodies is a big plus! Culturally I think the Colombians are much more conservative about their dress and keeping themselves covered up in public. We had great fun at a big open air gay club called The Patio which was packed with cute guys dancing to latin music all night. I was the only gringo there. There is another club in Barranquilla that my friends told me about that plays electronic/pop music but I do not recall the name and I did not visit. I didn't hook up in Barranquilla as I with friends but plenty of cute guys in the club were eager to meet, practice their english, and make out for a while. I would mention that casual cocaine use is common amongst many Colombians of all classes and it is a bit shocking to see how openly used it is in the clubs--no attempt made to hide it from security. I do not do any drugs at all but my Columbian friends tell me that it's not a big deal there --kind of like having a joint or a cigarette.--still I would stay away from it if you are tempted. I love Colombia--great people, hot guys, beautiful scenery and many different regions to explore in a relatively small country. I still prefer Brazil for the open display of bodies everywhere in Rio and the safety of fun in the saunas there. For a true Carnival experience nothing beats Rio despite some of the hassles and security concerns. I will continue to visit both countries for all of their charms!

Went over the weekend to Bogota. Complices Spa was not my thing - it's either wear underwear or nude. Many guys just did underwear which to me killed the vibe of what a bath house is for and turned down the volume per se. Massage wise Saint Moritz (same building as Gigolo) has massages by very hot and talents guys. I had a massage from Liam for 90 minutes 200 cop. worth every dime. Cash the masseur and the 60 cop to the sauna for use of the room (can credit card it).

Just got back from Bogota from over this past weekend Sept 15-18, 2023. Theatron has top notch quality on Saturday nights only on the top floor nude and erect waling around on a catwalk stage. Gigolo Erotic house did have some walking around sporadically

I will be in Bogotá in mid-October.

https://co.mileroticos.com/escorts/bogota/bogota/ how was your vacation?. any trip report?

I would suggest asking that question in a thread about Colombia. Here, we are supposed to be talking about Santo Domingo. In a few words (I have been once in Bogota and once in Medellin), I never had an issue bringing guys to my Airbnb.

Yes. It is different type of spa since part of the premises include a Gay History Hall of Fame (or similar description) that is open to the public. @Colombiaman on Instagram takes many of his private tours here if you want a preview. There are a couple of colleges/universities nearby so there can be some rare finds at this spot. The facilities are clean and well maintained but definitely showing their age, and the crowd can be erratic -- gets busy on the weekends but weekdays can be spotty to nearly deserted. Check out their events calendars -- the stripper shows usually pack in the crowds on weekends. Complices is one of the remaining spas in Bogotá that features massage attendants so that is also an option.

Has anybody been to Complices in Bogotá?

Hello: I'm heading south to Bogota in late February 22 to celebrate my 57th birthday and meet some cute guys. How are things there since the pandemic began? I live in Canada. Cheers ... Ojibear

desafino has just created a new thread titled - AM: JFK-BOG RT Biz Class from $651 - in the Premium Fare Deals forum of FlyerTalk Forums, which you have subscribed to. This thread is located at: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=33800053

Hi Folks: Getting out of the heat and heading to Rio. Ticket prices are very wonky now, seeing one way prices from 350-3500 USD at different times of the same day or for one day, but not an adjacent day! Did not find good fares to Fortaleza, perhaps due to connection or airline partner issues. Did see some reasonable non Rio or SP fares, but only to Belo Horizonte. It is a bus ride from BH to some charming Colonial cities. FWIW Bogota, Panama City, Ecuador, and Peru had good fares. Montevideo via Copa and Buenos Aires, Santiago (via multiple airlines) were a bit pricier vs Brazil, but not super high. Cheers.....

I am hoping to get some suggestions and comments regarding my first trip to South America, which will start in early Sept 2023. This being my first trip to South America, I will take a group tour (already booked) to visit Chile, Argentina and Brazil. Peru was included in my initial plans, but with the current situation there, I have now dropped that from the countries I will visit. This is 2-week tour covering 3 countries. The tour starts in Santiago, Chile, then on to Argentina and ends in Rio. I wish to tack on a couple of cities before the tour starts and then stay over in Brazil for few more days after the group tour ends. I have been to a few of the Asian countries and was in Bangkok in mid-February of this year. I have never been to South America, so this will be my first trip. I have read several posts here from those who have been there and rave about the time they have had. I have also read that there is security issue in a number of cities, so one has to be aware of that: mindful of the surroundings and also when meeting individuals outside of places that can be considered to be more safe (eg saunas). I am thinking of the itinerary outlined below. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should add (days and cities) or exclude (or shorten amount of time) in the cities outlined? I will truly appreciate feedback from those who have been there before. Outside of the group tour, my plan is to stay in a city longer than a couple of days. So not planning to pack in too many cities, where I would only stay for 1-2 nights. Currently planned: Fly to Medellin from Western Canada Medellin: 10 days Bogota: 4 days Santiago, Chile: 2 days prior to start of group tour Group Tour of Chile, Argentina and Brazil 14 days (booked already) Rio: 10 days after group tour In between the stay in Rio, visit São Paulo for 4 days Fly back from Rio to Western Canada I will book the international flights once I have somewhat finalized my plans. Thank you!

Few words on Cartagena Gabanna Gay Disco. I think its one of the best, not fancy, but the main hall is cool, its small, maybe max 50 visitors, many nice guys and last time (saturday party), 2 sexy strippers, who mingle with guests, show their erect cock, etc. Everybody knows everybody. Bar staff is super friendly. There is a dark room, no aircon. I was partying with a friend, who was with his bestie (28,26). His bestie is a waiter and an escort, nice cute top guy. 3am the party was over, I joked about 3some, which was enthusiastically accepted. The motel was right behind Ibiz, my friend new about it. Great sex fun, later I learned the two usually dont do group sex together). My friend though likes groups, both girls and boys. It was my last night before morning flight to Bogota, I gave my remaining cash maybe 40k to boys which was handed to the bestie; i bought for us drinks in the club as well. Nonstop beer baskets from me, but still could not spend too much. I had my sleep eventually in Bogota. I miss them, Cartagena can be fun (as every city..). PS this club is fun only saturday, maybe friday, rest of the week its pretty deserted.

Strippers are generally not the main theme in Colombian clubs. Places like Gigolo House and Garage (both Bogotá) are stripper bars where the boys will do a single dance at the end of their stage obligation fully erect. Most then walk the audience offering up a feel for tips. Not sure if that fits the bill for what you want. Many clubs and saunas in the larger cities will bring in a feature stripper to do a 20 -30 minute show during an event. Again, depending on the space, these shows can be completely vanilla or full audience interaction up to penetration -- just depends on the venue and what the stripper has actually been hired to do. So I would suggest just asking around at any of the local gay bars you hit up. Colombia has a LOT of private gay events that feature entertainment far wilder than what you find in the local bars. If you are up to it, you can apply to be a member of Angels Naked Party which runs a number of different events in Bogtotá y Medellín. Good luck with your search.

I was in Medellin and Bogota, (not really a beach person). many many men. check out https://co.mileroticos.com/escorts-gay/antioquia/medellin/ for professionals (typically asking 150 to 250 cop)

I am doing 5 weeks Colombia tour and while I had paid sex, I decided to visit as much saunas as possible. Short recap: Pereira Salamander. Small, I visited 3 times, 2 times had oralsex with twink. Not busy but seemed action focused. Central location. Manizales Alma Viva - few visitors, it has a jacuzzi in the basement. I was soaking there with super handsome guy (could be sent to Dolce Gabana ad campaign). It seemed he was not looking or I was shy. Had luck with one moreno guy in the steam room. Alma is in Zona Rosa, the entrace is disguised - no logo, you have to take stairs next to the casino, then you arrive in a snack shop and the owner wants to sell you snacks. But you insist „sauna“ and then the secret door is opened. Manizales Pilatos - city center located ugliest so far (combined with sex video shop). However I saw probably the hottest guy. He was like Belami futball player, fit, handsome. He was running around (or they were running with him) with one super obese daddy and another 60+ dude. I could not figure out whats going on - friends, fetish, escort? I could not approach him and soon the trio was gone. One of the learning was, less analyses, more initiative and action is required. This sauna is really sex focused, nothing else to enjoy. Second visit - no futball player (I was ready to fight😀), but one ca 35-40 y muscled or ripped dude with sexy face. He was radiating so much sex appeal and I made out with him a bit, but for some reasons stopped. Probably my loss! Cali Phiscus - cheap and central, lots of guys. New gringo faces are welcomed. I visited three times, all times had oral or anal sex, including very handsome fit hispanic twink. Two times guys offered weed, which was strong and maybe not so good idea in sauna. I was hallucinating, but never lost my mind (or locker key). Had sex with one young fucker on weed, which was great. I saw incredibly beatiful young muscle guy, he smoked also weed and then looked closest available partner for him. As one forum member said, it has a cute resident escort and handsome caretaker, both from Venezuela. CaliClub - a party sauna with DJ and excellent facilities. Guys in phiscus said „sundays it is full of young and hot guys“. Midweek it had few guests, it is more expensive and not so central. Phiscus is best on fridays and saturdays (open until 4am, but guests leave 3am) and I would try caliclub on sunday (open until 10 pm only). The sauna experience depends a) your hotness, b) supply and demand, c) your initiative and action, d) communication. A is givven by the genes, but b-d can do miracles. I found saunas are good place to enjoy and learn more about the scene, especially if you dont have time pressure. Slurp cold beers, chat and check out the guys. No complaints about the staff in the saunas, friendly and helpfull. I was also in Bogota Dark Club, which is naked cruising club. Was fun, lots of people on Friday and Sarurday. Dark Club had younger crowd then saunas and the guys were not shy. But even in saunas, I noted that there is a lack of older guys. In Germany, saunas attract fair share of older dudes who drink beer and socialize. Not so much in Colombia.

Finally made it to Bogota, but it definitely was a tumultuous trip. Having said that, it's totally worth the trouble! Day 1: Extremely early flight. However, when 3/4 of the passengers got onboard, we were told there was a diesel spill, so everyone had to evacuate immediately. Long story short, by the time the flight took off, it was already 2 hours later than originally scheduled. By the time I got to Toronto, the flight had already left for Bogota. Air Canada had to rebook me, put me in a hotel near the airport and arranged food and stuff. To make matters worse, my luggage was already in the international section that had cleared customs. So to retrieve my luggage, I had to wait who knows for how long. I waited until 7pm and decided to go to the hotel and called it a day. Luckily, I wasn't flying to Lima. The guy sitting next to me found out there was no flight to Lima the next day and he had to wait until Friday. Day 2: All went pretty well, and our flight got in early. However, who would have imagined that the migracion in Bogota could be so jam packed. The line was so long and I waited for at least an hour just to get my entry stamp. Thank god my luggage arrived as promised by AC. Yellow taxi to my hotel in Zona G was seamless. The driver was super friendly and knew some English, so he basically told me what to do and what not to do in Bogota. Ironically, he also told me he likes men! I didn't imagine Colombians would be so open with their sexual orientation. It's too bad he's in his 50s at least. If he were in his 20s with a great body, I might have invited him to my room. lol. Checkin was fine even though the guy didn't speak much English. So it's Google, plus gestures and mix of everything someone could think of. By the time I settled down and had a shower, it's already like 1 in the morning. Maybe because of the altitude, I didn't sleep too well and woke up so early. Day 3: Things were off to a promising start. Actually, being an Asian is kinda a plus here cuz there were so few here. I was like novelty to a lot of bogotanos. This Paisa guy caught my attention (184cm, 78kg with a rock hard 19cm verga. Very tanned and smooth skin) and wanted to show me around, but told me he didn't have the money to pay for the entrance at museo del oro. So I was like that's easy. I didn't want to go to by myself either, so I was like I would cover the taxi and invited him to dinner. I promised him that if there's chemistry between us, we would have fun, and if there's not any, we could just part way with no hurt feelings. So he showed up at my hotel wearing this tight tank top showing off his physique, tight body, nice arms and chest. I swear that I wanted to bite his nipples when we hugged. The museo was amazing. So many gold, silver, and copper artifacts that were created thousands of years ago. It's just amazing that they were able to create these with so little technology and everything was completely handmade. We communicated with our broken espanol and ingles, but who cares. It's just fun to experience it with a hot local, and we didn't talk about sex at all. Then we went to a local restaurante in La Canderlaria for dinner. We had tamal, the big chicken soup plus a wrapped rice thing (don't remember the names) lol. It was actually him, during dinner, asking me if he could go to my hotel room. Before that, I was actually very content just for the whole experience. But who am I to say no to a hot Paisa guy. We wasted no time getting undressed in the room. He has a great body and his cock got hard almost instantly. We made out, sucked each other, and he just couldn't wait to put his dick in my ass. Man, he knows how to pound. His cock was rock hard the entire time. After like 20 something minutes, I was like there's no way I could take more and he insisted on going to give me a good time. Damn, that hot-boiled latino blood. Then he tore off the condom and shot a nice big load on my chest. We then cuddled and slept for a while. I like that he didn't immediately get dressed like some other guys. Round trip taxi was around 20000 pesos, dinner was 70000 pesos, and the entrance was 8000 pesos. I must say for the experience, it's definitely money well spent. Hopefully day 4 can be even more promising!

I met a Gigolo in Pereira who was marketing in Grindr. 29 y, cute and wild combined, originally from Santander area. He does Chaturbate and few other webcams, models and takes acting classes. 2-2,5 hours in a motel was 250 cop, which included tip. He was great, I suspect he works mostly with ladies or is just a talent, since he took much better care of me, than onlyfans 23 y young fit medellin guy or 28 y muscled bogota guy/insta addict. They both were so self centric and own body focused! Maybe they are just young and not experienced. I negotiate with him now the overnight. Its a bit dissapointing from the gay movement perspective that bi/hetero gigolo provides best sexual experience 😀. He had some money issues with the web platforms so he is not working currently. But damn, he is a natural sex bomb, but staying humble and smart. The motel was fun as well, drive-in without any staff contact, doors are opened remote, you are told number of the entrance (there are ca 30 rooms!), you drive near your number (taxi, uber), doors are opened and you drive into “garage”, then leave the car and enter the suite, car leaves, all doors are closed, no windows. When leaving, same routine vice versa. Money is passed through the blind box. You can leave only when bill is paid and your transport has entered to the garage. Cannot walk around - highest level of privacy I have ever seen. Clean, nice bed, shower, jacuzzy (which we used minimal because time is sex, not pool). Cheapest suite which is absolutely sufficient - 5 hours 89 COP. Minibar and food if you wish. 4 km from Pereira. Hotel Amasis, check the web.

Missed going to Bogota...Last time I left in February 2020 right before national lockdown. Going to go back in month and wanted to see what venues/historical sights are currently open? I contacted the owner of the Gigolos which also operates sauna in the same building but they don't have the date of re-opening yet.

sounds interesting! I am going to Colombia (Medellin, Bogota---and? Catagena or Cali?) for the first time. I am normally very into the brasil guys and the sauna scene in Rio... I am bit disappointed by the guys I found in webpage. I am more into the muscled guys...and I think they only work in front of a cam.... If anyone hase recommendations ...let me know. I have some contacts to guys from chaturbate and they ask for a lot of money! One asked for 500 US per hour..... What do u pay for the chaturbate-guys?

I am not sure if anybody here will recommend a specific trainer but there are multiple Bodytech branches in Bogotá, and I think throughout Colombia, so that might be a solid starting point. In Brazil for longer stays I have tended to go to a conveniently located and reputable gym and started on my own while able to quickly identify a good trainer for my visit. Sheepish confession: I found poppers at a sex shop in Chapinero and took a mild sniff or two at St-Moritz Spa but did not find the sensory vasodilation to be particularly value-added. The turn-on with the guy was already plenty. I have tried very few chem things and always basically just once. I also lusted after, but never met, a young physique competitor in Brazil who died not long ago, apparently due to a ‘cardiac episode’. He once did a Rio model shoot outside the now closed also ran JE-showran Lions venue at the intersection of Gloria and Lapa. Obviously I don’t know the specific details, and profound exertion may have been a factor, but anabolic steroid use can be implicated in a serious adverse cardiac event.

Very true. For other Latin Americans, Colombian Spanish represents a superior form which is more refined, more classical than the ones they actually speak. The Colombian Spanish dialect came to be that way because the Colombian capital of Bogota, even as a Spanish colony, was an important viceroyalty, important enough to acquire its own university for higher learning, as well as other cultural and religious institutions. This meant the arrival of clerics, academics and administrators from Spain, many of whom spoke an educated variety of Spanish. This was important and influential in the development of the Colombian Spanish dialect.

I did a lot of walking up and down steep hills before my trip and it really made a difference. Especially on a coffee farm I visited. I found the downtown centre of Manizales, near Pereira, had a lot more character. But the people in both cities were wonderful, as they were in most places in Colombia I went to. Bogota was the only city where it was like most big cities in the world.

Just curious, I have been to the DR many, many times but thinking of Columbia. Is it fair to compare Pereira prices to a capital like Santo Domingo? Bogota or Medellin I would not question. But, this feels like comparing New York to Scranton PA. Just wondering

Updated March 23 - 2023 The merger between Avianca and Viva (which started this entire mess) was finally approved yesterday. No idea if Avianca intends to reintroduce budget fares via the Viva brand, but I was shocked to see a Viva plan take off at El Dorado - Bogotá yesterday. Stay tuned.
