The elderly do contact (sometimes family members or boyfriends) who, like their victims, living in depressed areas of the east.

Cucuta’s case is key because it brings together people trafficking networks that move between Colombia and Venezuela.

“Children are contacted through the Internet by abusers, located in Venezuela,” says Renacer. They send cars or vans (which are usually not registered by the authorities for having plaque in the neighboring country), and take them to San Cristobal, where they are abused. ” Other times you have to walk for hours through unguarded trails to reach their customers across the border.

At the other end of the country at ports on the Pacific as Tumaco and Buenaventura, customers are not only tourists but foreign sailors (the “landed”) that have contacts who are awaiting their arrival. Other regular customers are not tourists are the truckers themselves. On roads and points of rest of the travel business of child prostitution is intense. ‘Llantera’ tell these girls.

Destination for Sex Tourists

An example of this misery is Colombia, a favorite destination for sex tourists. In large cities such as Bogota, Cartagena, Medellín and Cali thousands of tourists from the U.S. and Europe, especially to visit the country because of the variety of sex tourism supply in different regions of Colombia. Surprisingly, most clients get the full information of this cruel business, through a well-established network of Internet trafficking organizations that operate the thriving business in Europe and America with the tourists. In the Colombian cities, the foreign guests willing on average between 50 and 100 euros to be paid to perform an all inclusive trip to the main leisure and entertainment places of the country. In general, the sex tourists are entitled to a large selection of children 9 to 15 years, coming mostly from the surrounding poor areas of Colombia and see in prostitution, their only alternative to escape from poverty. This type of child abuse and human rights violations is one of the largest social deficits of social policy in Colombia, as the policy of the current Colombian government has focused on the fight against rebel groups and guerrillas, while important social and civic functions of the State neglected.

On the surface, the historic city of Cartagena in northern Colombia on the Caribbean coast, is an upscale tourist destination, an old walled city where the cruise ship passengers walk through a maze of narrow streets, while tourists take refuge in air-conditioned shops and cafes to escape the tropical heat that prevails in the country. But behind the charm worthy of a travel agency brochure, the town hides a face far more seedy. Backpacker hostels that line the picturesque street, located just outside the old city lie in a famous red light district and, for many, men dozing on benches in the park on the corner do not nap, they expect to address sex workers.
