Guy's

I'll be in Lima Aug 31-Sep 4. This will be my first time in Lima , but I've been to the BA and Medellin. I'd like to have a drink with some of the locals if possible. I have some amigos girls lined up but would like to sample the local scene.

Look forward to meeting you guys

Droplet,

The airlines typically spit Peru between North and South. To go between you have to transit via Lima.

Lan Peru fly IQT/CUZ through Lima (LIM), as does Star Peru, and Aero Condor.

It looks to me as though you are doomed to have a connection - even if it is through another city on an "off-brand" airline. Hopefully, one of our more native board members can correct me!

Polvo,
I think you are correct on this as you have to pass by Lima to get anywhere N&S. Kinda like going from the apt to the grocery store (Oh shit! theres tequilas,might as well stop by while I am here)!

Does anyone know whether there are any direct flights from Iquitos to Cusco? If so which company.

Surfer, I am certainly not going to give up on R&V and will continue to explore local places plus get out of Lima. I have in mind visiting Huancayo for one and would like to get the tha Amozona as well in time.I would like to do Machu Pichu but Cusco sounds a bit touristy and prefer to explore less visited areas. Maybe next trip. One venue I checked out last trip are the downtown stip clubs briefly and want to explore that scene some more.rbc100

LB, I am sure all reports are not accurate and as well all know YMMV but I have observed a totaly opposite attiude displayed on the new English forum over there and have gained far more knowledge on the whole scene in Peru there than anywhere else on the Spainish forum. Time will tell as I am a new visitor to Peru and far from and authority but I chose to go places most gringos don't go.I would add I have learned a good lot here and CH but do my research on multiple sites to be well prepared when I explore new territory.rbc100

When I was in Lima (June 7-16) I went to RV with a fellow board member who had been there several times in the past week. He introduced me to the mgr and several girls. Although I was a first time customer I felt at home.

However no BBBJ! And I did ask. Sweet girl, great attitude and service with a smile - but no BBBJ and I hate CBJ.

I have word form some of the leaders on a certain Peru forum that there may be some truth to this which is sad news as R&V is has been one of those one or a kind places where you get great service with all the girls every time.rbc100

I would be a little wary of those guys as I do not think they have your interests at heart. One example: Chicatops is there site and some of the girls there are bait and switch. Another ISG member told me he took a highly recomended girl from Peru tops and she gave lousy service and did not fit the description.

In all fairness I have used Carla's services in the past and wysiwyg.

There is a rumour floating around that R&V does not provide BJ's to any new clients(non-regular clients). I may have to take a trip over there and try one of the young new girls. Any one have any experience recently?

What is the word on the holiday weekend coming up? Parties? Dead? How is it celebrated? I will be there for the weekend and was curious as to what to expect.

I came across this site while trying to verify the reputation of an excursion operator. It is not-for-profit and only lists reputable companies. One of the best travel resources I have ever seen.

I took a 17 hours bus ride to Peru-Ecuador border. Actually, the bus from
Lima stops in Tumbes. I took a mini-bus to the border and found out that the
Peruvian immigration office was two miles before the border crossing. The
border is fairly big city divided by a bridge under which runs very little black
water. To one side of the bridge is Peru and to the other side is Ecuador. I
have seen people walk both ways with no control at all. To get to Ecuadorian
immigration office, which is two miles away after the crossing, you either take a bus, one sol, or take a taxi one dollar. At the immigration office on the
Ecuadorian side they will give you three months. I was required to stay in
Ecuador for 24 hours before returning into Peru at which immigration you get
three months! Not bad! I remember going form Pattaya to Mae Sae, many times, just to get one month visa.

It is the same amount of time to do the Visa run to Chile. The advantage is you are in Arica, a very pleasant beach resort with some nice action!
