The Cuban monetary system is undergoing revision now (started January 1) that will remove the CUC system and move all Cubans and visitors to a single currency. If you have old CUCs around (which are illegal to remove from the country) they will be collectors items shortly. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-11/cuba-to-end-dual-currency-system-from-january-in-crisis-reform#:~:text=Cuba to End Dual Currency System in 2021 Amid Crisis Reform,-By&text=Cuba will end its decades,President Miguel Diaz-Canel said.&text=Diaz-Canel had announced the unification in October.

Just returned home as the curfew and lockdown has increased over the holidays and was beginning to impact daily life. The curfew was increased during the holiday period from 7pm to 6am daily. This included turning off streetlights -- a very effective way to keep people inside (you do not want to walk the hills of Medellin in the dark). Travellers must register on the CoronApp smartphone app and expect a visit to ensure that you are following the visitation plan that you register. Unfortunately the covid19 infection rate of the city continues to increase and is now above the levels of the initial wave in August. So I do not know if the curfew is going to be lifted any time soon. I am booked to return at the end of January but that may change.

Greetings from Medellín, Back in Colombia for a break and thought that I would update this forum. Like many places, Medellín has seen a serious rise in COVID19 cases in the past 45 days. However, it is not at the levels seen in many other countries. As a precaution, the major cities of Bogota, Baranquilla, Medellín, and Calí have all instituted various forms of curfews, forcing businesses to close up after 10pm from Sunday to Thursday. That makes for a quiet city at night which can be unnerving at times in a city known for partying in the wee hours 7 days a week. So many of the bars, videos, and saunas are officially closed. Some -- I wont name names here -- are quietly allowing fewer in, but they are open for a more select crowd. However, that does not stop the party loving Colombians. There are many underground parties happening and the boys of Medellin are happy to make a deal in these tough economic times. The Grindr ads are more active than ever and some of the faces advertising are very familiar if you have been on F4F or other sites - many of which have large dormitorys here. So while quieter this trip, I still get to enjoy some friendly Colombian company and good weather with better coffee. For now. Stay tuned.

Thanks for posting. I leave for my winter home in Medellin in one week, but will be spending time in Cartagena over the holidays. Sorry that no one warned you about the dirty beaches. The only fair beach in Bocagrande is close to El Laguito by the Hilton Hotel. Everyone else will choose to take a boat ride out to the islands for a carribean white sand beach day. I usually have success in Cartagena but not in the tourist areas. El Torre del Reloj (Watchtower) is the worst spot ever -- to be avoided at all costs. The walled city tends to attract some pretty aggressive players and is not worth the hassle (from experience). Most of the local gay spots were closed up due to the pandemic, and many of them (I suspect) will not be reopening. Hollywood beach on a Sunday used to be a reliable spot to meet locals but even that scene has slowed, I would imagine. Cartagena was hit hard economically by the quarantine, so I can appreciate that there would be some aggressive hustling these days as the tourists slowly trickle back. It will be a while before Cartagena bounces back, but I am confident this jewel of the Carribean will return.

Ahhh Dante Santos. Yes, he would certainly be worth pursuing. I can tell you the gym where he works out in Medellin, but I don't recall ever seeing him show up in any of the local escort listings Many of the boys on F4F consider themselves models only and will not consider "dates" with their internet clients. Keep in mind that their interactions with the audience are monitored -- they cannot make arrangements nor share telephone numbers in the chat. So if you are really interested in pursuing one of the boys, ask for either an Instagram or Twitter account. Then DM the model, explaining precisely what you are looking for and when. If the exchange is positive, then you should offer up a WhatsApp contact number to seal the deal. I have successfully done this with 3 F4F models who will remain anonymous, so it can be managed. Good luck with your quest.

I am a big fan of Avianca in Colombia. The discount airlines can be problematic (won't bore you with the details) so be certain that Easyfly or Viva Air are the best option/schedule before booking. They are generally reliable, but from experience when things go wrong (weather, delays, etc.) then the service falls apart. Most Colombian business people swear by Avianca and their lounges are very popular and busy. Because most flights inter-city in Colombia are around the hour mark, it is generally not worth the extra money to fly business class. I find the economy service on most Aviance flights is superiour to many North American routes. The additional cost isn't worth it.

Just a note to let everyone know that a new agreeement between Uber and the Colombian governement was reached in late February 2020. Uber is back and available across Colombia.
