Looks Like I am coming back to Lima in May. I wasn't really planning this trip but I will be in Colombia and have a special deal to return to the jungle waiting for me and also the airfare from Bog to Lima is real cheap, so I will be spending several weeks in and around Miraflores.
See you guys soon!

travel dates not set, but i will be around the 15th. the tr girl i was referring to i will have to tell you in person as she swore me to secrecy...but lima busy will tell you if you ask him.
rob..if you are reading... i will be in lima for probably a week, then heading up to the amazon, then back in lima for a few days. short trip this time.
Okay, Arriving in Miraflores on the 12th. Anyone else around? What is the current status of activities in Mirafores? Is TR still closed? Have the girls moved into pizza calle?
For anyone interested, I will be having coffee on the 13th at the usual place with the usual suspects.
For those who are thinking of coming to Peru in May: during the 15, 16, 17 there will be the "Cumbres de América Latina, el Caribe y la Unión Europea (ALC-UE)" an international get together with a bunch of presidents and ministers from European and Latin American countries arriving in Peru. These dates have been declared public holidays and all businesses must be closed. Travel within Lima will be restricted. I like many others will be fleeing Peru during these dates. Not the best time for mongering. The APEC which will be as big or bigger is planned for Nov. 13-16. All hotels will be filled during these events and the good restaurants will be booked.
Gents:
Just a heads up. I just received a registration form from the police to complete and return to ensure that I can come an go from my home from May 15th to May 17th.
It appears that there is going to be a cordon thrown up in parts of Miraflores during this conference and, specifically, on the 15th through 17th May. I am positive that one part of the cordon extends from West of the Reducto and may include the area bounded by Benavides and Larco down to Larco Mar. Anyone who has a hotel or apartment or hooker in that area better double check if they need to to get onto the "official" list.
At the very least ensure you carry your DNI or passport on you during the above dates - and I obviously recommend through the 17th.
This is going to be a pain in the ass.
Suerte!

No, they have a computer in the lobby for everyone to use.
I normally stay at the San Marten Hotel in Miraflores. They recently raised thier prices, so I'm looking for alternatives.
Can I find a nice apartment or apart-type hotel in this area of Miraflores for @ $50 U.S.? Obviously it needs to be Girl friendly and internet in the room, a/c is not a must now.
Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]In the future you should post in the Hotel thread! Too answer your question, there are loads of apts in the $40-$50 price range. Actually if you stay for a few weeks or months the prices get better. Aparthotels are generally more expensive about $85.00 per night but offer more services and in most cases A/C (in that price range).
It has already gotten cold in (Miraflores) and as it is another La Nina projections are that it will be colder than last winter. I would recommend that you look for a apartment with heat or buy a couple of space heaters when you arrive!

Generally when booking an hotel always book double occupancy. When booking an apartment always put 2 people in the online form and state that your girlfriend will be staying with you. If they object to overnight guests find a different apartment. Most have internet, rarely A/C (exception apart hotels).
Should be no problem finding what you want at your price point.
