Popular Post neyger Posted yesterday at 08:16 PM Popular Post Posted yesterday at 08:16 PM A very late report, I've been busy with work lately. I found back my notes today and thought I'd share a brief summary of the trip. --------- I landed in Bogotá on a Friday afternoon. I always fly to Bogotá because I hate the long lines at immigration in Medellín. But I wasn't so lucky; the wait was almost two hours. Interestingly, the immigration officer mentioned that the "biomig" system for foreigners will soon be available. It will only require pre-registration at the airport, and you'll be able to enter and exit through the automated gates (for now, it only works for leaving the country, for foreigners without residency). Bogotá I only spent one night in Bogota, enough time to have fun with S, a libanese/venezuelan guy that I knew from previous trips, and a visit to montserate. Sex with S is like fighting a wrestling game. He's the most dominant bottom I ever met. He's amazing, but not the best cure for jetlag. The next day, I packed my bags and went to salitre bus station, to catch the bus to Villavicencio. Traffic in Bogota (and most other cities like Medellin) is a disaster on Saturdays. All cars are allowed to drive, while on weekdays, most cities have 'pico y placa' in place, where only a limited set of cars are allowed on the road. It took 2 hours for the bus to get out of Bogota and another 2 hours to arrive in Villavicencio. The route is very scenic. Villavicencio Villavicencio (or Villavo for the locals) is the gateway to the Llano (the plains), the land of the vaqueros (cowboys). On one side, you have the mighty Andes, on the other side the great plains that reach until Venezuela. This was my first visit and I immediately fell in love with this town. I booked the GHL hotel for 2 nights at 50$ and another night in hotel 'Casa del Sol' (for some reason, the GHL hotel price doubled for that last day). GHL hotel is a luxury hotel, with a rooftop pool and great views over the city. I only had one 'joiner', but front desk assured me that it wasn't a problem to invite people, as long as they were registered. Before I knew, I was talking on grindr with Jesus, a 22 years old uni student, who was more than pleased to be my personal guide. He fulfilled that role until the moment he waved me goodbye at the airport. This boyfriend experience for three days was a lot of fun. Our agreement was that I was going to pay all costs. The first night we went to a roadside barbecue stand (usually a makeshift tent on the side of the road). Villavo is famous for its meat. We enjoyed an excellent steak at a very affordable price. I went to bed early, still jet-lagged. The next day we went to a shopping mall, Primavera Urbana. Quite a unique place, since it's integrated into nature, with meandering creeks and a huge pond. You should go during the day, to enjoy the beautiful walking trail through the forrest. In the afternoon, we strolled to the city center and a couple parks and relaxed at the swimming pool. The weather is hot, but with a cool breeze in the evening and night. We went early to bed, because the next day, we would become cowboys. Tiuma Park is a real paradise. An adventure park, a 30 minutes taxi ride from Villavicencio, where you can go zip lining, horseback riding and even follow a short course to become a cowboy and learn how to herd cows. Plenty of activities to do and we both enjoyed it a lot. We had the whole park for ourselves. Once back in Villavicencio, we went to an amazing venezuelan restaurant called 'De Pana' (Tequeños! cachapas!) and later a game of bowling in a local commercial center. The following day I was leaving for Medellin. Jésus was heartbroken, just like me, which lasted until I opened Grindr in Medellín a couple hours later. I booked a direct flight with Clic Air. It was a bit more expensive, but the advantage is that you land at the small airport near Laureles and El Poblado (saving you time and taxis). Plus, I like flying on a propeller plane; it's a different experience. Best place to stay in Villavo: the hotels around the GHL hotel in the south (safe area with plenty of restaurants and shopping centers). Gay stuff: Gay disco Mantra (I didn't visit, since I was still suffering from jetlag). Gay sauna 'Club B' (or CB club). According to my contact, a bit rundown. Grindr: I had a couple offers from escorts. Rates were between 50kCOP - 100 kCOP Medallo During the flight to Medellin, I started talking with a young handsome backpacker from the UK. He was going to walk to his hostel from the airport. I talked him out of the idea and offered to share a taxi since I was heading in the same direction. Nothing would have probably happened, but I'm not convinced that it's a great idea to walk through the infamous barrio antioquia with all your belongings, at any time of the day or night. Sadly, he turned out to be hetero, my gaydar is completely unreliable these days. Medellin was great as always. The following days, I contacted a bunch of regulars and met a couple new guys from grindr. Rates are around 150kCOP for paid sex. I can confirm that there are freelancers roaming Sauna Cruising (I asked one of them, 20kCOP oral, 50kCOP sex). Plenty of handsome guys. I went with a group of guys I know and they told me that the youngsters who used to frequent 'El Castillo' now go to Cruising. We ended the evening nearby at the 'La Purísima' bar in front of Boston park. Not a gay spot, but excellent cocktails in a great atmosphere. One of my regulars was going to celebrate his 23rd birthday and I joined his birthday party at the "Salvaje Perreo" discoteca in Bello. It's not a gay disco, but LGBT friendly. It was the first time I went out in this street full of bars and discos. I had planned to go to Parche at PV (Prado Verde) afterwards, but ended up in a motel nearby with the 'hetero' nephew of the birthday boy, after he had brought his girlfriend home. You gotta love Colombia. Premium is still busy with big crowds on Wednesdays since there's no cover fee. Some motels like ibiza do not allow entry to Venezuelans, unless they have a passport or PPT. Luckily, there are plenty of motels that don't make a problem of it. I found a small and cheap motel 'aloha suite' (30kCOP for simple room) next to Unicentro Laureles. Very convenient to meet your grindr date at the mall and only have to walk 50 meters to start the action. Cúcuta fuck the police I hadn't heard from one of my regulars for months. He joined the police force and it's not a joke over there. They have to turn in their phones and they stay at the academy for 3 months. After three months, they are allowed to use their phone again and they get 1 day off a week. That's a lot of effort for earning the minimum wage with no possibility to climb up the hierarchy and even have to pay a large sum (16 million pesos) for their equipment and training. He looked great in his uniform and we got the motel room for free (it looks like the job comes with a couple perks though). Afterwards, we had diner and cocktails in Caobos. 4some A friend was in town (he normally lives in Venezuela) and he wanted to meet me again. He made the deal more enticing by offering to bring 2 friends with him. We ended up in motel picardias. Their Aruba room isn't cheap at 180kCOP, but you can stay for 6 hours and it has a large swimming pool. This was the second foursome I ever had (both were in Cucuta) and certainly to be repeated. We had a blast. The next few days I went dancing at La Redoma and visited the city center, ecoparque and a couple small pueblos with regulars. Grindr was very active and I met 2 new guys, both from Venezuela and both great company. Some random observations: Pandora le club is no more.. A gay institute has fallen and been replaced by yet another straight disco. Disco 'La Celosa' has taken over part of the public, but it's not a gay disco. La Redoma has female strippers now on Friday evenings and male strippers on Saturday evenings. I hadn't expected to see 'caminantes' again (after not having seen them for years). Caminantes are Venezuelans who walk all the way to their destination (which can be another country). It seems that the situation in Venezuela hasn't improved much.. Cúcuta felt more safe with a lot of police in the streets. Maybe it was because of the elections at the time. Rates are 30kCOP - 100 kCOP for paid sex. --------- Overall, another amazing trip to Colombia and I'm already looking forward to go back. If only to go to Cali, a city I have not yet visited. I'd say half of the guys I met were regulars; the others I contacted through Grindr or by recommendation from regulars. bkkmfj2648, Ian here, Keithambrose and 6 others 4 5 Quote

Most do it for the money, others want to experience having sex with a gringo (happens more often in places less frequented by tourists), and others genuinely like older men. Quote
