Colombia trip september 2025

[neyger]

A short report on my last trip to Colombia.

The plan was to first go to Bogota and then, via Pereira and Manizales, to Medellin, finishing the trip with a few days in Cúcuta.
After receiving an invitation to a gay wedding in Barranquilla, I unfortunately had to cancel the Pereira and Manizales part of the trip.

I'm top and mostly interested in cute bottom twinks nowadays.

Prices: 1 kCOP = 1000 COP = 1000 colombian pesos (+- 0.25$)

Bogota

I stayed in Chapinero. My Airbnb had a change in its visitor policy, requiring me to register visitors 24 hours in advance. As a result, I mainly used the motels around Calle 61 and Carrera 14a (basic rooms at around 45 kCOP).
Those motels are a bit hard to reach though, due to the works on the new metro system. 

Gay disco: 
Teatron, still one of my favorite gay discos. 

Guys:
Two 'free' boys from Bosa & Soacha (grindr). I paid the moto taxi costs. It's easy to order a moto taxi with Uber for someone else and you can follow their itinerary, but I haven't figured out how to do it with the other apps (indrive, didi, ..).

Two guys from mileroticos (100 kCOP - 200 kCOP):

• Camilo mileroticos   (on webcam)
• Gabriel mileroticos

Both of them were great. However, Gabriel will change his services to top only in the future.
 

Barranquilla

Northern Barranquilla is quite nice. I stayed at the Prado Hotel, a 5* luxury hotel for an incredible price (3 nights for $160). You can simply let security know you're inviting your companion to the pool bar or restaurant. If they're staying overnight, you have to register them.

The wedding was fun, with a party in a finca in Puerto Colombia, near the beach. 

Gay discos: 

• lives: closed for renovation
• Patio / phuket: Patio is outdoors, phuket indoors. Nice atmosphere, music not too loud. 
• Legacy: music volume deafening, but cheap and plenty of cute guys.

Nightlife is mostly limited to Friday / Saturday evening. 

Saunas:
Dark: looks promising, but they close early and I arrived near closing time. They also run a motel (not at the same location). 

Guys:
Grindr is very popular. Most men are happy to meet you for free or for a small fee (50 kCOP is common). Because almost all of them live in the south (the city's poorest and most dangerous neighborhood), they ask you to pay for taxi fares, which can add up. You can't use Uber Moto Taxi, as it's illegal in Barranquilla for two men to ride a motorcycle.

 

Medellin

It was quite hot in the city of eternal spring, and I'm not just talking about the men, but also about the weather. As always, I had a wonderful time.

Sauna:
Cruising:  According to friends, it's the most popular sauna these days. I went there at 5 p.m., and it was packed. All types of men.

gay discos:

• industry club:  A "plaza" now is in control of Industry Club, a local gang that claims a monopoly on all drug sales in the club. If you bring or use drugs that weren't purchased from them, you'll receive a multa (a fine). Gang members patrolling the entrance, the dance floor, and the restrooms kind of spoil the atmosphere. I don't use drugs myself, but because I often go to the restroom after a few drinks (small bladder), they even started harassing and interrogating me. A bit of a downer.
• premium: plenty of eye candy, the place to be. Music not too loud and a great 'flow' like they say over here. 
• prado verde: 'remate' disco & motel located in a very bad part of centro, but they have excellent security (they walk you to your car). Very popular nowadays. People start arriving around 2am and by the time the other discos close, it's packed.  Since it's also a motel, you can immediately take your friend of the night to a room (basic rooms at 38kCOP). Recommended (for night owls).

Guys:
I have my bunch of regular guys in Medellin. I met a cute guy at cruising (sauna) and in prado verde. For a change in my diet, I also went with an older hunk in motel roma (they have guys available on site). 

One guy from mileroticos:  Alejo mileroticos   on twitter
Fun fact: I met his (gay) older brother before, so I guess I'm a friend of the family now. Alejo is a sweetheart, but you will have to bargain. 

 

Cucuta:

A friend and reader of this forum accompanied me on this part of the journey. As I said before, it's not a place for the faint of heart. I would only recommend to go there if you have plenty of experience travelling in South America, good situational awareness and you speak sufficient Spanish.

We had a great time anyway. There were plenty of handsome guys, and the advantage of not being alone is that you can keep an eye on each other (share your location).

Some changes: 

• la redoma: These days, there are professional male and female strippers on Saturdays and Sundays. The nightclub has a great atmosphere, but security still leaves a lot to be desired (no age checks or weapons checks). 
• Foam party at pandora le club on a tuesday night was amazing. I'm not sure if it's a recurring event.
• Apparently there's a bar / disco called gata ebria in centro, with male waiters in underwear. I didn't have time to check it out. 
• Police checks: make sure you take a picture of your passport AND the entry stamp. If you can't show the entry stamp, they will detain you (unless you give them some tea money).

Guys:
My regulars + a couple of new faces (from grindr and an old webcam contact). Price ranges from 40 kCOP to 100 kCOP

New face Camilo, he used to work on webcam. More twunk than twink nowadays, but a great guy. 
A couple of the guys of the 'wallen' groups on webcam here and here (and other pages)

----------------

I had a fantastic trip, with just one minor hiccup. In Cucuta, the police tried to fine me for jaywalking (I didn't, even though half the city does). After much discussion and my refusal to pay the 300 kCOP fine immediately, they relented and let me go.

My next trip is to Thailand, my first in five years. I don't know what to expect. Oh well, I'm sure the massages and food will be better.

As I have learned more about Colombia it is one country in South America that I wish I had included in my itinerary for my long vacation 15 years ago. For me the photos I see of Colombian boys are a greater turn on than those in Brazil, Mexico and other countries.

Thank u Neyger for a GREAT post.

VERY helpful!

[xpaulo]

I love it when I see Neyger has posted. Always some helpful information. I also now realize we are attracted to completely opposite types of men. Give me a dominant lean masculine 28 year old top with some hair on his flat belly and a hairy ass and I'm in heaven. But I think we do share an affection for Perera and Manizales. I like both of those towns and while I never attract attention in saunas, I do sometimes in Pereira.
