Colombia has no shortage of cities conducive to some excellent mongering. Bogota, Medellin, and Cali all have reputations for having some of the most beautiful women in the world, but each of them has a few catches as well. Cartagena is certainly not lacking in heritage and history. The city displays both old and new, mixing in the city walls and monasteries of the Old Town, with skyscrapers and bustling city life around the beach areas.
Oh, yeah, the beach part: Cartagena has plenty of it, and the climate will constantly remind you of where you are. This, aside from the beach, history, and architecture, makes the city the most popular tourist destination in the country. As in, Colombians come to vacation here from other cities, kind of like how someone living in the Midwestern part of the U. Perhaps most importantly of all, this city has a ton of girls.
Cartagena is a tourist city first and foremost, so that means quite a few things. Everything is more expensive than other Colombian cities, especially food. Well worth it, but still. The summer is very humid, and hot during the day.
There is an endless amount of working girls here. They are everywhere. You can get some pretty good bargains, as the girls outnumber the men, and will really try to close the deal. Another great thing is how nice and enthusiastic the girls are here. Try to take some time to learn about Colombian culture, and the history of the city as well.
Knowing some basic Spanish will get you far as well. Oh, and if you want things to go well in the clubs, you better know how to Salsa dance. The same for rented apartments in most cases. Be prepared to use a love hotel the majority of the time.
