General Info

[Jaimito Cartero]

I just noticed that I can now fly to Lima cheaper than Costa Rica. Strange! Aeromexico has a $378 fare from LAX or $425 from PHX. They've also got good fares from the NYC area too.

Dates seem to be wide open.

I am interested in the San Martin http://www.sanmartinhotel.com/ which lists rooms from $70, or the Nido for about $50. I can see some price drop, but would they really bargain to half price?

Thanks

Artisttyp,
Write a mail to the three asking for a two-week ("quincenal") price. Fifty percent reductions or more compared to the advertised price are not unusual in Lima.

These hotels are near the action. They will arrange for airport pick-up ("traslado del aeropuerto") if required.

Please be advised that the train to Macchu Picchu is closed do to rockslides. I seriously doubt they will reopen this year. If you are planning on doing the Inca trail I suggest you contact the South American Explorers Club for info.

If you like shooting guns. Go to Av. Tomás Marsano 2398, close by Ovalo Higuereta. No license required. You can rent 9 mm and 12 gauge for $5 a piece and access to the shooting stand for another $5. I´m not sure if these are reduced rates because they know me.

A must in Lima is the Free Flight school.

Strongly recommended. Fly above Larcomar and the Miraflores cliffs.

XXL,

Thanks I just went on the websites.It looks like a better idea to stick to forum recommended hotels, at least till I get there and figure it out. Again I appreciate the info on some miraflores hotels being out of the loop. Good to know.

Can someone verify the address of this hotel to me.Hostal jose luis @fransico de paula ugarriza 727.I understand what someone was saying about the hostels.Usually I dont like to bring girls back to my room only in the DR.So I thought I would either go to a casa de citas or rent a room when I meet a girl.Would this be wrong?

I'm more concerned what someone said about being at a hostal in miraflores in the middle of knowhere.Would that make it very unreasonable to get around? Also can anyone advise me abou the saftey of taxis? I just grabbed them off the street in quito ecuador and felt safe.I'd never do that in mexico city instead I feel safer going by subway.

I have no exact time frame to book my trip.I thought I'd do everything today but after the responses to my post I will wait awhile to hear from you guys.Thank you to those who have posted their thoughts. Much appreciated.

Let me know I'm itching to buy a plane ticket!

Artisttyp,

You should remember tourist guides have quite other priorities compared to us mongers. They seem to carter either to families or to gay backpackers.

I've stopped trusting them, including the overrated Lonely Planet, because whenever I did, I always seemed to end up in one of the few hotels that were either far from any action or not chica-friendly or both.

The best hotel guide in your case is the internationalsexguide forum.

Take a look at the following:

El Doral is more expensive than the other two, being quoted at 46 dollars but you can bargain them down to half that price. The first two are more within your price bracket.

Just wanted to post that I'm planning on going down to lima for 2 weeks this wednesday oct. 19.I've done quite alot of international "mongering".I'm 36 years old greek/turkish/russian from new york city..I look spanish or italian and do fairly well with spanish.Maybe someone would like to meet to exchange notes...whatever.
I will follow a few recommendations from this site then let my instinct guide me through the rest.I'm also going to enjoy the mountains etc. sometimes tours are cheaper with 2 people so thats another invitation.

I'm going to be staying in miraflores.I found a hotel for $10 listed on the frommers.com website which should be legit.They will pick me up at the airport for $10.I thought try it out for 2 nights I cant go wrong.I'd be more than willing to pay$35/40 but in some of these countries you can get the same for less.
I'm looking forward to nice people too...new york gets obnoxious.

Jaimito,

True that the US is one of the worst place to monger, but I plan to hit Manchester UK sometime wher the parlour game is hot. Lot's of bbbj and other specialties. One of the best is Sandyssupestars or Arabesque.

While rating countries can get very personal, I prefer to have a top 10 list. Jakarta is certainly near or at the top of my list, but Lima is also in the top 5. BA is in there too.

However, since I have not yet been to some of the the major pussy capitals, it's a rather early race. I hope to have hit the 10 most talked about destinations in the next few years. Here are my top picks, in no particular order.

Costa Rica,
Brazil,
Argentina,
Peru,
Thailand
Indonesia
Nicaragua

I hope to add Colombia, the Phillipines and Cambodia in the next year. I'm hitting Russia for a few days in December (long enough to freeze my balls) and have a 6 continent trip next year that may add some Antipodean and African chicas to these stats.

Worse countries to monger in?

USA
UK

I don't think we should clutter the Peru site with a discussion of sundry countries but I have a duty to chip in here because the question can be answered with resounding aplomb. The Oscar for best mongering, best pussy concentration, best BBBJ, best BB, best you-name-it-as-long-as-it's-sex goes to pom-pom-pom ... JAKARTA. OK, the place is (no longer) the best place for dope, but we can do without that for a while, can't we?

Of course I'll be in Lima two weeks from now, of course I may visit Africa in February, I don't think a monger worthy of the name should relinquish diversity only because one mongering spot beats all the others by a wide margin. But the fact is, there is such a spot right now and it is the capital city of the world's most populous muslim nation.

or vietnamese or any of those gd tonal languages that are well nigh impossible to learn.

barjasmine, sir, your question about which country is best is unduly vague (sorry i am a barrister and require precisely tailored questions). if out and out debauchery is your priority, brasileras are the most oversexed creatures on earth bar none. they do it all, from anal to orgies to you name it. they are almost all bi too, so if you like girl on girl action brazil is tops. ossible drawbacks: it is the one country in sa where spanish is not the official language (oh who counts tiny surinam!), they speak brasilero, portugese with a sexy accent and cadance. also, brasil is the most costly (unless you go to the impoverised northeast region). crime is a real concern, as is extortion by police with setup involving **** girls.

if you want the best food, culture and architecture, and like light skinned blondes, then i'd say try the argies although they are still a bit salty at her majeststy's subjects over that falklands thing. downsides: at least in ba, gfe is rare, everybody smokes and weather can be iffy in northern summer.

peru offers a good combination of value and action in reasonably safe venues and you can get by in most parts with minimal spanish. looks are good, but more of the girls are short and darker skinned (which i like personally).

my personal favorite is colombia for the combination of gfe, the best lookers (along with vz which i have yet to visit) and, best of all, lack of foreigners (outside cartagena). as a first timer with limited spanish skills, i reccommend cartagena to you. drawbacks: horrible climate, shitty, dirty, beaches, annoyingly persistent touts, and no strip joints/sex clubs. freelancers are the go here.

hope this helps in your decision, but anywhere you go in sa will be heaps better than britain (for women, food and weather). as much as people bash so many aspects of life in the uk, i will say that for good government , no country on earth is even in the same league. i'd give up our food, weather, american football, all of it if we could trade the moron in the white house for tony blair (or cherrie for that matter). hail britannia!

IF you speak Spanish, the LESS English the chica speaks the better. There is an unmistakable correlation between English proficiency and gringo BF, hard core ho, money grubber etc

Quite so, and I would add that the mistrust is reciprocal: english-speaking gold-diggers will shrink from any foreigner who shows too great a mastery of the vernacular. The more idiomatic and unaccented your Spanish, the more they will recoil and walk away. The same goes, of course, for any language other than Spanish.

If you have the background and knowledge, you can put this to good use in order to get shot of insistent gold-diggers in clubs and discos. Make some slangish comment about the music, drop the names of a few lesser-known salsa groups, hint at your having seen Oscar León or Roberto Torres live at the Féria de Cali or at some Salsa Festival in Caracas, and the gold-digger will leave you alone quicker than if you'd just confessed to having bird flue.

"He knows the lingo + he has been around + he knows the ropes = there's nothing in it for me" (Gold-Digger)

Plus us Peruvians speak really fast making it hard to understand............

[Lima Busy]

I have been told that Peruvian Spanish is the most pure of the latin American countries which is why there is such demand for Peruvian spanish teachers in the USA now.

I think if you already had the ear to pick up a new language, you will pick it up fairly quickly, the worst part is all the grammar rules and exceptions, so try to stick to conversational.

I am not a SA expert like Surfer so I would not want to tell you which country to visit and obviously I am prejudiced. From the UK-Lima it might be a hassle getting direct flights so maybe BA will be a better choice for you.

But do come visit us at least once!
