Posts: 91If you want a massage, professional-like, no sex, you'll need to go to a spa. There's a couple around Quito, and some in Cumbaya, (15 mins from Quito by bus) One of the ones I know of in Quito is on the street Azucenas off of granados. I dont know the exact address, but it's a combination gym and spa. I think there's one at the gym at Plaza de los Americas also.
Cumbaya has one at the Fybecca complex on Interoceanica and theres one more close to the central park area where all the restraunts are.
I've seen advertisements for outcall massages in the newspapers also. No idea on the prices. Those would most likely be sex/massage. Link below.

Note that Masajes Medellin is listed there, which is a chongo.

Macmasher & David3069,
Thanks for the feedback re. hotels.
On the massage question then, I will assume that average or above average massage may not be readily available alongside other services. I will report back if I come across any worthy of mention.

Posts: 91La Luna
So the story I got was that the cops were checking IDs, found 1 girl that didnt have one and when asked her age she said she was 20 but, after they took her out and confirmed her age it was 13.
Can't verify it, but that's the rumour.

Posts: 190Another point is, and I called an embassy (Peru) for verification of this, is that if your passport has less than 6 months left on it, you may be rejected from entering a country. Don't know about Ecuador. (There's probably a more generic forum for this kind of info, but just wanted to comment). Check your passport expiration data months b4 u leave. You can get a new one within days if you're willing to pay about $130 and can visit a passport center in a major city. You have to make a reservation and it is in total about a 1 week process (depending upon how busy they are).

The location was also excellent. But again, I don't know about it's guest friendliness.
You're right, Quito seems to lack that "sure bet" monger-friendly hotel common in most other destinations. I suspect it's because the scene is much more on-premises than most places. Unless one's into non-pros (I'm not), take-out is the exception, and chongos are the rule (and... Chongos RULE!)
I owe this board a full trip report, but it'll have to wait a few more days. I think I'll title it "Newbie-o en el Troleo." But here's the short version. Dollar for dollar, Quito is a great mongering city. I'll definitely go back.

Posts: 91I'll check with a buddy of mine about La Luna. He lives 5 minutes from there. If they are closed, he'll let me know if they re-open or move somewhere else.

i went to la luna with tung a couple of times, and can honestly say i never saw one girl that looked **** when i was there. overweight, yes. seriously though, i'm not saying this story isn't true, but there are some things that don't make sense. you have to wonder if the owner of la luna missed a couple of payments to the government. in the comercio article, they mention they found a 16 year old girl working there in 2005, yet didn't close it down then. why now?
anyways, the best looking girls will probably just go work at other places; i remember that there were girls that worked at 122 and touch me working at coco bongos, so it seems like a lot of these girls move around anyways. and coco bongos had the best talent, the other two bars were pretty disappointing imho; i don't think you missed out on much.
looks like someone needs to update the fuckclub list!

Posts: 22La Luna closed!
As I will go to Ecuador in May, I was reading some news. The municipality of Quito closed La Luna complex forever (see Tung list). Apparently, the reason is to let teenagers (under 18) work there:
If you spanish is good enough you can read it here:

Search for hotels in the "Mariscal Sucre" area.
I stayed at the Monte Carlo (Quito Alameda - corner of Amazonas y Roca) when I first arrived. It is about $100 a night - on the high end but the rooms are nice, there is a restaurant right there as well as a casino. It's about 4-5 blocks from the main Gringolandia area. It's a $1 taxi ride.
Be sure to enquire in advance about their policies for girls (extra guests). They might charge more, might have no problem or might not let her in at all.
