Sin Tetas No Hay Paraíso (Without Tits There Is No Paradise) is a famous Colombian television series, produced and aired by Caracol TV. The show is based on the best-selling novel with the same name written by Gustavo Bolivar.

The story is based on a young girl, Catalina, who lives in Pereira and becomes obsessed with getting breast implants in order to overcome poverty. Catalina decides to become a "prepago" (prepaid), a prostitute who has sex with drug traffickers in exchange for gifts, money and social status.

The prime time show reached ratings nearing 6.9 million viewers, setting a record for the most-watched soap opera in Colombia. The series-finale was aired on October 13, 2006, and caught a big audience.
