Returned from 5 days in Bogota. Mixed feelings but mostly positive.
Accommodation:
Mid-range Airbnb near the main area. $59/night. Walking distance to everything.
Scene:
About what the forum described. Prices were in line with forum reports.
Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 3 encounters total.
Logistics:
Taxis are cheap but negotiate first. Found great local restaurants.
Safety:
No issues at all.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid choice, will be back.
Happy to answer any questions.

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.
