Non-mongering sightseeing
I came up here on the standard 3 days and 2 night junket. It cost $547 including flights, airport transfers, tour of Cusco, train station transfers in Cusco, Vistadome train ticket, bus from Aguascalientes to Machu Picchu, tour of the ruins and lunch afterwards, and the hotel in Cusco.
Besides it´s value of providing a fig leaf cover sightseeing excuse for us mongers to the folks back home, Machu Picchu just can´t be missed if you´re in Peru. Trust me, once you´re there you´ll be glad you took time off from bopping lovely Peruanas for a bit of history and culture. The scenery is stunning. The guide has been visiting the site for 40 years and wrote a book on the place. He knows lots of cool nook and cranny stuff that most don´t.
It´s really worthwhile to stay longer than the 3 days. It´s especially a good idea to stay in Aguascalientes an extra day so you can trek to the outlying places, especially the top of the famous mountain that´s in all the photos.
Cusco itself was worth the afternoon of sightseeing. As for nightlife and mongering, I didn´t have much of a chance. The altitude factor (11,000+ feet) hit me hard, even right out of the plane door I was huffing. And it wasn´t just being out of breath. It also affects the digestive system. So I wasn´t feeling at all well for either of these two nights, and wasn´t really up for any adventures to the listed mongering places here. Early morning wakeup calls to catch the train or the plane back were the clincher. Keep in mind that Machu Picchu is about 3500 feet LOWER than Cusco, so there´s not so much effect there.
I did manage to wander around Plaza Armas a bit. I can say I saw absolutely no women looking available, pro or non-pro. I also had a look in at the sports bar which is right on the Plaza. There was one table of non-pro looking women there. But knowing that it would probably take time and work plus struggling with said altitude issues put me off from trying.
So if you´re coming to Cusco it´s worth allowing a few more days here to get acclimated and to see more of the sights. But if you´re like me you´ll be thinking that if you never hear ´El Condor Pasa´ again it will still be too soon.
What hotels and action do you like in Cusco?
Hello everyone, Headed to Cusco at some point next month and would like reccommendations on hotels. Are they chica friendly? Price range? Any recent or new suggestions on action to be found while there?
Report on the Decameron Club
Copy of my report at CRT, FYI:
Quick report on Cusco. Take your Diamox - I'm sensitive to altitudes and it worked great, so much so that I had spare energy to try the local talent. Being that it is off season, or perhaps police pressure, there were 0 advertisements for chicas in the El Sol newspaper. But datamining a recent list from perutops, I made about a dozen calls; most of them were disconnected. The one chica that was still working, Karina, I think I scared off in my phone call to her with my lousy spanish. She was incall in a not so nice area of town. Another chica, whose name I forgot but has her own website, wanted $100/hr. No gracias. But she speaks Ingles.
So I went to the Decamaron, the highest end club in Cusco, which is a relative term. It's not bad, an OK place and not too loud so one can actually have a conversation with the chicas. Got there at 11PM, I was the only guy in the place. Saw three chicas sitting in a set of couches and went over to talk. Bought them a pitcher of drinks and we had a good time for about an hour joking and bullshitting (all in Spanish, no Ingles at all). Names, Valerie (too thick), Alaska (spinner) and another tall one, who is the prettiest, Lucero, a touch hard-core but great sense of humor. They're friends and all live together and hang at the club together, so they're easy to spot. Making a hard decision, I took Alaska because she's a spinner from Iquitos, and I like the selva/jungle chicas. I think we agreed upon 150 soles. She unfortunately was mediocre, but had a nice body, OK face and had an orgasmo that woke up half the hotel I suspect. Next time, I'd pick the taller one, Lucero.
Basically the Decameron is worth the trip, but you will have to do your homework in the place, as there are a lot of gorditas and the level of beauty is not nearly as high as Lima. 11PM at the earliest.
