What's Platino like in Cuenca? It's new, it appears? Drove by last night for the first time, and have a couple of clients coming in who might be interested. How does it compare to Piramide?

Thanks in advance, most likely to Saeta?

The owner is the same one as piramide. They just split off the girls from piramide, half of them work at platino.

Same prices as well. haven't seen new girls arrive lately but you never know.

So I ended up going to Piramide last night, from what I understand they are open from 9:30 pm til 5 or 6am, $5 cover.

went there at around 11pm and the place was sort of empty, about 5 guys there, but there were over 10 girls, about 2 or 3 from guayaquil and the rest from colombia, this is also another reason why I like going there. Colombian girls are way much better than ecuadorians in the sack as far as my experiences have gone.

Found a place to sit, music playing there was reggaeton, it's always reggaeton unless you request the bartender to change that, girls just hang out on the couches, none of them will ever approach you unless you request them or ask them to come over, I like this method so I don't have any awkward moments telling a girl that she's not what I'm looking for.

Ended up requesting this hot girl from cali, I forget her name, black hair with some very tight jeans and black top, smoking hot, problem was that we did not click at all, after the obligatory questions she seemed not to care for me at all, just look ahead and not talking, so thank you very much but no, I asked her to leave, I can only imagine how bad the experience with her would've been, but also I appreciate the honesty of the colombians in this regard, if they don't feel a connection they'll let you know right away instead of wasting your time.

waited a little bit more and then laid my eyes on this hot blonde with a short dress that revealed some tanned and shaped legs, I was a bit weary of inviting her to talk just because she was alone, most of the other girls would be together and talking while she was just alone checking her cell phone.

In any case I invited her over and we connected right away, her name is ana maria hard to miss in this place, great rack and very sexy looking, she was talkative, flirtatious and explained in full detail what she was going to do to me in the room.

Ended up taking her to the room, cost $50 for 30min. My first instinct was that she might be rushed for only being 30 min, but I was wrong.

in the room she gave me the full GFE experience, french kissing and took charge of things, shaved everywhere as she told me that she hates hair, fine by me.

we ended up pleasuring each other for about 15 min and then went on for multiple positions, you really get the feeling that she was there to satisfy herself as well, after another 15 min we finished and talked for a bit, the great thing about places like this is that the girls look like the girl next door, they are not so beat up looking and they are easy to talk to, gave me her phone number to call her someday as she does outcall too, and it would be much cheaper setting that up with her than paying the house fee.

All in all a good experience in piramide.

Frank,

I just sent you a PM, it'll be better to talk about non-mongering activities in cuenca this way.

[Saeta119]

Hey Frank, I found my own review about this place, like I said it's on Av de las Americas below the "Tanques" area.

If you go to the Tanques, you will see a very long set of stairs leading down to Av de las Americas, from there walk about 20 meters in the direction away from the city and you will find it.

Ok, so I haven't heard of this place at all, but it seems that it's been going on for under a year.

This a somewhat upscale night club, compared to the $6 chongos. It's located right next to the other chongs, but in the main street (Av. Americas) maybe a block or two from the other chongos.

Now La Piramide is open Tuesday. Sat 8pm. 3am (they may close early if there are no customers).

Entrance fee: $5 and you get a free drink

Cost: $50 or $60/hr if you wish to take the girl out. This time I chose the $50/pop.

Girls: I went during easter so it was slow, about 8 girls, normally about 15-20, ALL colombians and about 80% of the extremely hot, I'd say there were 7-8-9's, From what I was told, most of them if not all of them used to work at the Dollhouse, Extasis or 555, they were defintely top notch.

I went there this past Saturday at about 9pm, there were only 2 other clients and about 4 girls, by 10pm all of the chicks must show up (I was told) or they end up paying a fine, so by 10 there were 8 girls and the clients kept on coming (by 12:30 when I left the place was half full).

So I have to say that this is a welcome change from the chongos I've frequented in cuenca, even from brisas del Mar (I was told they had some colombian girls but the police raided the place so the quality went down). This is by far the best.

There's parking $1, and the guy at the door charges you the $5, you're then given a ticket and you have to go up a flight of stairs for the entrance.

The place is clean, spacious, lots of chairs and sofas to sit and relax, the drinks were not cheap, they go from $4 to $5, music is a mix from electronica, merengue, hip hop, rock. There's a dancing pole but I never saw anyone dancing up there.

As soon as you go inside and you get your complimentary drink, the bartender asks you if you wish to have some company, the girls are sitting around and you get to choose the girl you want to talk to.

I chose this magnificent girl named lana I believe, a tall, thin but curvy girl from Cali, and I have to say that it was a great GFE experience, I spent the next 2 hours just drinking and dancing with her, I never felt pushed to make the deal and actually it was me who had to ask her about prices and what not.

When we finally went upstairs, she gave me a lapdance and let me play with her, I gave her an orgasm first and then she went to work on me, had a nice massage and some playing around, this girl was definitely not in a rush. Multiple positions and she was very aroused, no need for KY or any other oils, moved with confidence and would have not cared that we spent all night just enjoying ourselves.

After our 45 min session we came back down and spent some more time talking, it seems management really wants the girls to be as GFE as possible and do not give problems at all, I have to say I can see myself coming back to this place.

Overall a 10/10 experience, it was worth every dollar and if you're ever in Cuenca you should give this place a try at least once.

Oh, also, in regards to security, all of their clients are middle to upper class so there's never a worry about shady people inside, the guar outside will also make sure you get into a taxi as you leave.

If you ever want to take a girl out for the whole night it's $150.

I followed Saeta's advice and headed out for dinner to "Bertuchis", Av. Unidad Nacional y Padua. The cab driver didn't know the restaurant but after I gave him directions it was easy to find. It's on the corner of the divided four-lane road, well-lit. I had Pan de Ajo (SIX (!) slices of grilled bread with just about the right touch of garlic, lots of cheese), Ensalada Cesar, crisp, fresh, and an almost perfect Lasagna de Carne. The bottom layer was just a little dry, but the taste was excellent. Very reasonably priced. I highly recommend the place, even after just one meal. Thanks, Saeta! I would consider the neighborhood to be semi-safe; lower middle-class residential, single-family residences, townhouses, all built maybe in the last 15 years. Since you are close to the Remigio Crespo street area, I still wouldn’t recommend walking at night.

Afterwards I went to Calle Larga, the center section of that street is closed to traffic at night, causing huge traffic jams along the route. Police patrols Calle Larga on foot which gives some sense of security. But except for them, the area was almost dead. A few single souls were hanging out in the bars, not much more. Maybe at 10pm it was still too early.

I flagged down a cab to head out to Av. de las Americas to look for Saeta's strip-club, the taxi driver didn't know any "Tira de la barra, Club de Striptease", anyway we were cruising along. No luck, the street lights got fewer, we simply couldn't find the place.

This really sucks. Maybe I should go home and watch “Curb your Enthusiasm” on HBO?

Tomasb: What's the mustard trick? Just curious.

I think this is where one guy 'accidently' spills mustard (or something else) on you and insists on helping to try and help you wipe it off. Then a second person comes along and swipes your bag and runs off. Something like that.

[Frankfurter]

Saeta, Tomasb,

Thanks for your posts. Greatly appreciated.

In terms of bars I take my negative attitude back, to some degree.

Just came home from a nice lunch and cappuchino at Wunderbar, near Escalinata/Calle Larga. The place is run by a German, and you can have the typical German Weizen beers etc. This is a real nice hangout in an old brick mansion. I like Cafe Austria also, but haven't had food there. I went to the bar across from the Hostal Siberia also (funny! The Siberia looks like Archipelago Gulag). The corner bar there is nice as well. I would not touch one of those SW with a 10' pole, near the airport, actually they were across from the sombrero factory, besides, I don't have a car.

Tomasb: What's the mustard trick? Just curious.

Thanks folks.

[Tomasb]

I found out the hard way. Cuenca sucks for action of any kind. However, I did discover a bar near the large set of steps that cross the river to the other side of town. It was called Wunderbar and there were quite a few ex-pat and backpacker types hanging out there including some Euro girls who were learning Spanish in Cuenca. Beyond that, you are correct, there is barely a place to have a decent cup of coffee.

Things to do, well, you could take a bus to the old town that has the devil train to the bottom of this desolate canyon. There is also an interesting hat museum up the street a bit from the Wunderbar. You can buy authentic Panamanian style hats at this museum too.

Oh, and watch out for the old mustard trick at the airport.

[Saeta119]

Don't have pm capabilities so I'll try to be brief.

Looking for action, the best place is called hmm I forget the name, you see there's a street full of houses with "workers" (called chongos) the area is called los tanques, open from 10am. 10pm (mindnight on weekends), If you end up going there, ONLY go to the chongo that has private parking, called OASIS, it's the best one from them all, really avoid all others. Right below that street is the main busy street (las americas) there's a very nice (strip club / *****house) and I can't remember the damn name, it's got a Triangle sign in front, blueish garage doors, only open from 9pm on, but it's got some of the best girls you'll find. If you go to los tanques ask around everyone knows this place.

SW's stay away from them, they are pests in this city, you won't find quality, PLUS the area of the airport and bus terminal is the WORST area of the city, couple of guys got killed on new year's in that area, very bad.

Not sure where you're staying but look for places to stay near calle larga, it's the hot spot for bar crawling in this city plus it's pretty safe. There are dif types of bars, and not all of them are crap.

Coffee places, try cafecito near calle larga (has free wireless too) and the best one I love to go to, is called Sucre sale, a french owned cafe located in parque calderon, it's got the best coffee I've tasted in the city, and so far I haven't found one single dish from their menu to be bad, the guy is damn good and you will have a nice view of the park.

THE best restaurant so far in cuenca is called Bertuchis, about 20 min walk from downtown, just plain the best italian food in cuenca. There are many other places to try some decent food but hope these work for you.

In calle larga and hermano miguel there's an american bookstore called "carolina" ask her about other places to eat, etc she knows every single hotspot in the city.

Hope that helps.

Since this is a site for us punters and hobbyists to gather reliable info in regards to P4P, working girls and current cost, and not about food, I keep the following to a minimum:

Since I haven't found the first, I recommend for the latter the restaurant "Villa Rosa" on Gran-Colombia 12-22, one of the major drags through town.

This place is enthusiastically overrated as one of Ecuador's "best restaurants" (so be it) on Tripadvisor (sorry, Jackson), but on a more down-to-earth scale I think it can be called a fairly priced, clean and attractive place where you can get a decent meal. Staff is very friendly.

So I arrived in Cuenca a few days ago and so far I found it to be one of the most boring places on Earth. Being Ecuador, I wasn't really expecting to stumble over a BJ-bar at every other street corner, but some hint of action sure would be appreciated, i.e. where are nice coffee shops where you comfortably can have an espresso (no, not Nescafe) or cappuccino while watching the world pass by, where are the bars where you can hang out for a beer, or something more substantial later, a strip-club would be nice too! I saw a couple of heavy-frame SW's on a street leading to the airport, though. One thing is great: With a fare between $2-3 for most trips within the city the taxis are cheap and the taxistas are friendly: They can take you economically from nowhere to nowhere.

Another poster( a long time ago) mentioned there were two "chongos" on the outskirts of town. Ask a cabbie.

*Chongos are brothels by the way.

Thanks for the warning.

Went to Loja and visited the chongos areas, did not have much time to do much research so went to the most recommended place by the locals "kamasutra"

It's a nice place about 5km away from loja on the way to zamora, about 15 rooms, the girls stand in front of their rooms.

Ficha is $7 entrance free, if you drive then it's. 50 for parking.

There were about 4 colombian girls there, about 7/9 the rest seemed ecuadorians and a bit lower on the scale.

Went with daniela, a colombian with a great booty and wow was the service fantastic, as soon as I entered the room she greeted me as if I was an old flame that she hasn't seen in ages, very GFE and very flexible! Could not believe the quality of girls that can be found here, may have to go down there sometime soon.

[Frankfurter]

Thanks, Saeta, for the Vitamin V info.
Since you seem to be the Cuenca expert: Would you be willing to summarize the "five best" things to do in a week currently in Cuenca, and the places where to look for a fellow hobbyist newbie. This is just my second trip to Latin America, I was in Chile once and liked it very much, but that's a different story. Much appreciated.
