Woo, almost time for my summer vacation!
Where ya going this year?
Well, a few years ago I hit Denmark.
Yeah but that was then, you going back?
I liked it there! But no I had something else in mind.
Yeah?
Yeah!
Uhm, this is the part where you tell me the location of your vacation.
Right! Bucaramanga.
South America?
Colombia.
Isn’t that dangerous for U.S. visitors?
Naw. I mean sure, some places it’s recommended you not be dumb, but it’s fine.
Is it pretty? It sounds pretty!
Well, it has a Whore Hole.
Wait what? You’re gonna go to Colombia just to hire whores?! Jacob!
No, not… it isn’t… no. See. Used to be people would throw unfaithful wives into this pit. And so it got nicknamed the Whore Hole.
And you want to go there?!
Well now it’s sort of a landmark. A symbol of a time when they were so screw-loose they thought this was some sort of sane idea. Also, it lets them put the phrase “whore hole” in the tour guides.
Who writes those things?
What, tour books?
Yeah!
I dunno, but they either have the best or worst job in the world.
I guess, I mean they must have fun going to all those places…
I don’t think most of them go anywhere. Research and drinking. That’s all you need.
Oh come on, they have to go there!
Eh, some of them, maybe. But anyway, I’m gonna go see me a Whore Hole.
That thing is still horrible.
So you don’t want pictures? What if there’s a sign? Or a shirt?! There could be a shirt.
Argh!
That’s a yes to the shirt?
Yes.
Thought so.
I don’t wanna want it.
The lure of the Whore Hole is too strong.
Stupid non-whores and their stupid hole of death. And their fancy possible t-shirts I want.
I’ll pass along that message.
Do that.

Please tell me this isn’t real. Please tell me there isn’t really a tourist attraction called “The Whore Hole,” and that it doesn’t fit the description given here.

What do you think?

One of the names of the place is “Puta Agujero”, but it’s hard to figure out where it is. Google Earth doesn’t exactly refer to it by that name, and a general Google search on the phrase isn’t particularly recommended either. Unless you’re into that kind of thing.
There’s a similar-ish kind of legend surrounding Lake Guatavita not too far from Bogota, but you can read more in the Lake Guatavita Wikipedia page.
No mention of t-shirts, but …. Well. I think it’d be a great name for a bar.

I WANT TO GO TO THERE.
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:09 am
Right?!
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:13 am
There’s no t-shirt. WHY IS THERE NO T-SHIRT? *angst*
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:15 am
What should it say?
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:17 am
“I visited Whore Hole and all I got was this littering fine?”
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:18 am
“I went to the Whore Hole and all I got was this stupid whore” ?
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:24 am
“…all I got was this soggy whore”
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:27 am
I’ll give ya 5 bucks to tattoo “…all I got was this soggy whore” on yerself.
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:27 am
Awww! It’s cute that you think I think you have $5!
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:28 am
I’ve been savin’ my “corner money” for years! I got SIX dollars.
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:34 am
Actually I think I’d rather have the sign:P Having “Whore Hole” on a sign above my door would be awesome:D
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:35 am
AND subtle!
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:37 am
Subtle is my middle name! Well, actually it’s Kim, but I should totally change it to subtle!
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:38 am
DFJ: So I shouldn’t call you Kimpossible from now on, right? That’d be bad?
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:39 am
yeah, that’d be bad… I’m more like Ron Stoppable anyway:P
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:41 am
HAHAHAH! Oh so hey, I will announce this randomly here first, in case it falls through – but there’s a webcomics podcast I am supposed to be a guest on on (I think) July 25th) broadcasts live that Sunday. I’ll toss details up closer to in a news post.
June 22nd, 2010 on 9:42 am
Sounds awesome! Hope I’ll catch it, I may be on my way to Berlin that day though:/
