Hosted Matchmaking Visits
The week in Cali, with accompanied introductions already arranged.
Four or five days of accompanied introductions. Travel, private security, chauffeured transportation, in-person translation services and a 5-star hotel are included on the first Hosted Matchmaking Visit, up to $2,000 for round-trip flights and lodging, booked by us. Dates are set before you land. You are not left to improvise in a city you do not know.
Why Cali, specifically
We work in Santiago de Cali because that is where we have spent the years and put in the hard work of cultivating high-quality contacts. We've been active and on the ground since 2018. The women we introduce are Colombian; many are "caleña" by origin, whereas others were born in other cities or municipalities, and now make their lives here.
Cali is also a city where visitors who date carelessly can run into real harm: drugging, including scopolamine attacks, elaborate kidnapping schemes, robbery, and other premeditated setups that often begin as a social invitation. Those risks are widely discussed around dating in Colombia and are common knowledge. We do not pretend they are folklore. A website disclaimer will not keep you safe, but savvy, experience, and preparation such as ours will.
In Cali, a serious introduction still happens the old-fashioned way: "let me introduce you to a lady friend".
"Cold approach" is a poor plan
Trying to meet women in Colombia by way of cold approach, pickup, or dating apps is ill-advised. It is riskier than people admit, often more expensive (all likely outcomes considered), and puts every woman you meet on the defensive. She has no reason to believe you are not a sex tourist. The culture here, for a serious introduction, is still very much "ven le presento una amiga": let me introduce you to a lady friend. That is our job. You'll have a fluent Spanish-speaking American on the ground in Cali since at least 2018, an expansive network, a name people will take calls and messages from, and the standing to make that introduction for a newly-arrived foreigner who would not otherwise have access to these select women.
The three dinners
We guarantee a minimum of three mediated, discreet, safe, in-person dates with Colombian women who have been screened at length: high-quality, attractive, in the age range you desire, and not women a typical visitor would have access to. They may have little interest in "gringos," they may be off of the dating apps, they may not be actively dating at all, they may be quite content and financially stable independently, or they may have other reasons for being hard to reach. Inexperienced foreigners and ordinary visitors are not able to achieve this level of access without the assistance of a credible third party who makes and vouches for the connection.
The dates may not all be with different women. If there is a connection on an earlier evening and both of you wish another outing (be it lunch, dinner, or another activity), that is considered a better use of the week than forcing a new name onto the calendar.
How a date is actually run
Every date is a mediated dinner at a restaurant we partner with. Private security and a private car take you from a 5-star hotel in a safe neighborhood and bring you back. The translator is there as a wingman who will take additional measures, such as actively editing poorly-chosen words, to increase the probability of a romantic connection. That said, he will not be a third wheel at the table unless you state that you prefer he stay.
A sample day
A day in Cali is carefully scheduled to maximize coaching, dating, and relationship-building opportunities.
- Morning
Briefing
Who you will meet, the setting, what we already know, and what would be an ideal opening theme of conversation.
- Midday
Lunch
A proper meal with time to settle after the flight or the night before, as well as to explore the city.
- Afternoon
Pre-date prep
Wardrobe check, timing, the car, and a final pass as to first impressions.
- Evening
The dinner
A mediated reservation at a partnered restaurant. Security and a private car, hotel to the table and back.
- After
Debrief
What worked, what did not, and what to change the next day. Two-way feedback (from you and from your matchmaker) and ongoing refinement.
Who is with you
Your translator is a Spanish-speaking American with deep ties in the city. He personally reads your application, conducts the consultation if we agree to one, sits with you at sign-up, and stays with you for the week in Cali. Translation is only part of the job. That person is responsible for your movements, your security, pre-date preparation, the wingman role at dinner, and the debrief after. You do not hail your own cars. You do not wander into a first meeting alone or unprepared.
Travel, lodging, the $2,000 cap
On the first Hosted Matchmaking Visit, we book round-trip travel from the continental United States and a 5-star hotel, up to a combined $2,000. U.S. gateway to Cali. We book it. No hidden airfare rules inside that number. Upgrades and special requests above the cap are yours to pay.
Conduct during the week
You will sign an anti-human-trafficking and anti-prostitution disclosure after enrollment and before you travel. Every woman you are introduced to is 18 years of age or older. You will not offer money to the women you are introduced to. Sexual liaisons during a Hosted Matchmaking Visit are strongly discouraged. If they occur, we may suspend the service immediately, without refund or other consideration.
A second Hosted Matchmaking Visit
If we extend the term to twelve months, a second Hosted Matchmaking Visit is included in the agreement, if needed. You pay travel and lodging for that trip. Translation, security, introductions, and the rest remain our responsibility. To date, no second Hosted Matchmaking Visit has been required or requested.
We dramatically reduce the usual risks of dating in this city. We cannot erase every risk of travel. You remain responsible for your own conduct, health, and immigration status. See the disclaimer.
The week in Cali is for enrolled clients. Start with a written application, including a recent photo. Every application receives a brief phone or email follow-up within 24 to 48 hours with an invitation to a 20-minute consultation, where all questions are answered.
