Can anybody offer any recent market wisdom on the price of fun in Colombia? The professionals who offer services online are suggesting prices like 150euros, which seems insane to me given the current state of the economy. I know that there is an online premium and, perhaps another for English, but really?

The best of Columbia are the masseurs at Club Tobi in Medellin. A relax massage is 30000 COP, a regular massage is 50000 and a full massage is 70000. That's $10, $16 and $22. ( I never noticed a difference between the $16 and $22 sessions) And they don't expect a tip ! For the $16 or $22 session they will do anything you want and would be glad to discretely meet at your hotel where they can keep everything they make. Only 3 masseurs most nights but solid 9's on a scale of 1-10.

Bogota is more expensive but anywhere in Columbia 150 Euro sounds more like a price to "buy" rather than "rent".

I only saw a couple escort ads in Bogota and those were in Euros and too high so I imagine they try to snag international travelers and businessmen who are used to those prices. Columbians aren't.

Grindr, at least in Medellin, is full of "Prepaygos".......Grindr hasn't learned the slang yet. Certainly meet a safe place in public ! Also there's a male brothel in Medellin I hear. .

Thanks. I'll be sure to report back after my trip later this month.

I think Hornet is much better then Grindr and from conversations , I would expect to pay 150,000-200.000 COP ($50-$65) for a visit to your Hotel.. The boys would qualify as solid 9's. IMHO Included a current photo.

That is consistent with my last visit 18 months ago and the US $ is now considerably stronger. I never found boys in rush to leave and would love to go out for a meal after the deed is done.

That boy is breathtaking!

200.000 COP is too much. Usually they take far less.

The men brothel is Fercho Masajes, and they had a fixed price: 70.000 (or 60.000?)

I don't like saunas. I stay in nice places and want to be comfortable in a big bed and shower. Also no short times that you get in saunas or massage places . Therefore you have to pay more for time and quality. I don't speak Spanish so unable to negotiate like you probably but am very happy to pay 150,000 for a boy similar to the photo and he comes to me.

Well worth it for me . But would love to follow you around and see what you get for 70,000. HeHe

I agree about good hotels, Firecat69. May I ask which hotels you would recommend in Colombia?

Hotel Poblado Alejandria in Medellin

Hilton and Doubletree in Bogota. I am a Diamond so get treated well

Cartagena I rented an apartment because I was taking a couple of boys from Bogota with me so needed room. Found it on www.vrbo.com.

I find the prices and reviews are pretty good on Booking.com

Thank you for the info!

I like El Poblado Alejandría too, but El Poblado Plaza at the shopping mall Oviedo down the Alejandría hill is very nice aswell.

Club Tobi prices are now 40,000; 70,000 and 90,000 still a great bargain!
