I joined Cybercupido a while back and I've gotten a lot of interest, so much that I was exceeding the free daily message limits and have now gotten a paid membership.

I joined Cybercupido for a year, and got quite a few responses. However, most were just looking to wring the money out of you. I'd never let a chica know when you were coming, and never let her pick you up at the airport. They'll try and get their claws into you, and you'll never survive if they do.

Peruvian chicas seems to age pretty quick. Local guys only seemed to like the younger chicas until they were mid 20's. After that, they're tons of mid 20's to mid 30's chica just begging for some attention.

I got too many bs messages from Cubans and some others. It got pretty annoying after awhile, honestly.

So far only one lady I've chatted with has spoken any English, so work on your Spanish. The girls seem to think it's really great that an English-speaking American is learning Spanish so I can talk with them.

I'm using a combination of the Pimsleur "Learn to Speak and Understand Spanish" cds plus a bunch of books such as Berlitz "Spanish Step By Step". I also use the Babelfish Translator http://babelfish.altavista.com/ (watch for the gender) and the WordReference Spanish-English dictionary http://www.wordreference.com/ to help translate their messages and write back.

Thanks to Eaglestar in the China forum for his inspiration.

Well guys after being in many latin countries (DR,Colombia,Panama,Brasil and OO yes Peru) and a disapointing trip to the Filipines last March...i am back were it all started...PERU.
I was there in May 2002 for 2 weeks and i realy enjoyed it.

I realy like the culture,the food,the landscape...and hell yes the girls:-) NOW at this moment my spanish is way better as it was back then. So communicating'with this honies would be no problema. btw more and more Peruanas can speak English...as i found out:-) Way better then in fe Brasil were almost NOBODY speaks any English at all....

I have seen pretty girls in Colombia and the DR (true...o soo true) BUT i realy had problems with those nasty attituted women there.

Right now i am planning a trip to Peru next Febrero for about 3 weeks. Most likely i also want to stay and live there for good. Not right away...but in a year or so. I am setting up contact with several chicas right now.

Peru is a big vast country with lots of oppertunities. It has some advantages over other countries in the region imho. Fe it's way cheaper then Argentina,Chilie and Uruguay and way more open and more easy to get to then Bolivia and Paraguay.

I have no kids (yet!) and are free to go were i want...and I am running close to 41 yo....so why not??

I remember well we drove arround in Lima with Nibu for HOURS hitting some sleasy joints were even most cab drivers didn't hear off....LOL

If anyone living there and like to share some info on real estate,business or whatever please PM me or send me an email.

take care you mongers out there!

1. Can you drink water out of hotel room tap?
Water quality in Lima is quite unreliable. We've got not only E. Coli but
all sorts of nasty bacteria (Typhoid fever) and parasites (Cryptosporidium comes to mind). Remember you only need a few shigellas to get a very bad infection. When i visit my family in Lima I only drink boiled water and never had a problem. I've been tempted to brush my teeth with tap water but
resisted.

2. How are punctual are they in general? Do the provider show up on time?
We peruvians have a long tradition of being fashionably late. Important
people are ALWAYS late, because come on, they are so important. On our eyes, people who show up on time didn't have something better to do. Former President Toledo was notorious for showing up HOURS later (and he lived in the US for a number of years). However I must say I've found a number of providers who did show up on time, perhaps because they were booked solid for the day.

3. Pay before or after the deed? I read that sometimes they insist on getting paid before hand.

Depends on the provider. Some girls just stretch out their tiny pretty hands while others just smile and expect you to leave the money on the table.

1. Can you drink water out of hotel room tap?
2. How are punctual are they in general? Do the provider show up on time?
3. Pay before or after the deed? I read that sometimes they insist on getting paid before hand.

Thanks for any advice.

Aurab,
1.Depends on the hotel, Bottled water is more advisable.
2. Rarely, goes for pro and non pro as well.
3. Depends on provider (internet girls are upfront) Tequilas, depends on the girl.

I'm going to Peru in December and was wondering, for those of you more experienced in the area, is it difficult or unwise to visit Machu Picchu on your own? Or is it best to use a tour agency?

Visiting Machu Picchu itself for the day is easy - you just catch the bus in Aqua Caliente and 15 minutes later you are in the monuments. You can easily take the train from Cuzco to Aqua Caliente. The backpaker train really smells on the way back, check that you are not in a car with 100 dirty hikers.

Hiking the Inca Trail is 4 days, very rough, only allowed now in an organized tour.

I've been reading up on it on the web, and it seems fairly accessable to the average traveler. But being my first trip to Peru, or South America, I thought it best to ask here first.

I'll be spending most of my time in Lima, but wanted to take an extra five days to check out Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Is five days enough time? And is the mongering scene in Cuzco worth anything(no posts in Cuzco thread since June)?


Thx
