Classic website. At least I'm married to a Peruvian. I have the misfortune of watching my brothers and friends lives ruined by their American-biatch wives.

If you travel light, meaning, you don´t have heavy luggage to
carry, after clearing immigration and go out of the airport in Lima,
keep walking on the right side of the parking lot until you reach
the main road outside of the airport. Don´t pay attention to any
one offering you a taxi. THEY WILL CHEAT YOU. On the street out
side of the airport, offer 8 to 10 "soles" for a ride into downtown
Lima. Don´t pay more . There are lots of taxis, someone will take
your offer. Offer from 12 to 15 "soles" to Miraflores.

I do that when I visit Lima and Cambodia. In Cambodia exists the same problem with moto drivers.

When in Pattaya, I take a "pick up truck" up to central road, fro
m there I take another truck to BKK bus station, all for 10 bahts!

When I visit "K11" in Cambodia, I go to the bus station, betwee
the central market and Monivong Av.The bus that goes to "Udon"
goes by "K11", it runs every hour on the hour, costs 2.000 "rils"
$ 0.50.

LS,

“Has anyone made the trip to Huancayo?”

Yes I have and let me give you some info. It’s a beautiful city and definitely worth visiting. Unfortunately, you have to drive over the Andes to get there. As you mentioned, the road is nice and is paved; however, it’s the Andes. The pass you go over, called Anticona in Ticlio, is actually the highest automobile pass in the world. I think its around 15,000 feet. The road from Lima, which is at sea level, to the top of Ticlio is only about 150 miles, so you can imagine how steep the road is and how many switchbacks there are.

There are several of the gaping guardrail holes I previously mentioned in this section of the road. Going uphill shouldn’t be a problem, but going downhill is definitely sketchy. My last trip up I saw a flatbed truck with a backhoe and a propane tanker truck, both upside down in the ditch on the inside corner of different switchbacks. I guess these guys are so paranoid about going over the edge, that they hug the inside corner too tight and sometimes hook a wheel in the ditch.

Are you sure the train isn’t running? The train ride is supposed to be one the best in the world. Train aficionados come from all over the world just to ride that train. If the Huancayo train isn’t running, try to get one to La Oroya, which is over the pass, then it would be an easy bus ride to Huancayo from there. FYI - La Oroya is a fucking ugly scourge and isn’t worth stopping at. It reminds me of the surface of mars. The mine there has killed everything surrounding the town.

Back to Huancayo – I tend to find food a close second to getting laid and often times base trips and destinations on food. The food in Huancayo is excellent. Papa a la Huancaína, which you can now find in most restaurants in Lima, is from Huancayo. Also, try the pachamanca. It’s the Peruvian version of the luau, where they cook the food in a pit with hot stones. It’s delicious. There is also excellent trout in a variety of sauces. There are also good markets/shopping in Huancayo. There is some nightlife, as it’s a pretty good-sized town for such an out of the way place.

It’s a good trip, but I’d try to find an alternative to the bus for the return down the mountain. You could catch the train back or train to another city where there is an airport. Good luck.

Hi Leif E.

you wrote:

Peruanas are users and players! I know that's a generalization, but I think it is true. Four years ago I was played by a Peruana big time. I have only myself to blame, but in hindsight I'm just glad I didn't marry the woman! I've had other Peruanas tell me to be careful, which says a lot.

If you want to get serious with a Peruvian woman make sure she is gainfully employed. Hopefully, she is educated and works as a lawyer, doctor, dentist, etc..

I'm at a point in my life where I just want to play. As Goldie Hawn has said, "Marriage is ridiculous."

I only can say that situation is much worse in Colombia!!!!(or Venezuela) That country has realy gorgeous looking women....but OOOO Please be carefull if you are looking for a lifemate! They are realy very cunning and listy.

Colombianas and Venezulanas are very very materialistic people. Money and status is ALL they care about. (yes...no shit)

But....Cheer up Leif!! Even in my country (or in yours) we have such women!


So......I learned my lesson too. Stop thinking with the little head...and start thinking with your BIG head that's upon your shoulders! LOL

btw are you Norwegian?

PS: I was played too by BOTH a colombiana AND a Peruana!!FUCK ME!

When I travel, I like to go to out of the way places when the opportunity presents itself. Especially if these places happen to be on the way to a target destination (Machu Picchu). Yes, we are all tourists; we can't help that. But I simply enjoy exploring areas a little off the beaten path.

I am fortunate enough to have a month in which to enjoy all that Peru has to offer. I was thinking about traveling overland to Cusco, stopping for a few days to a week in both Huancayo and Ayacucho. The responses posted here indicated to me the foolishness of that idea.

Now the only problem here is that there don't appear to be any flights between these cities, except going back thru Lima. Which means I would have to fly back to Lima each time to get to the next city.

On top of that, it appears that the city of Huancayo, (pop 400,000) doesn't have an airport? I looked high and low and could not find any evidence of one. Am I missing something?

So I did a little more investigating and found that the road from Lima to Huancayo is paved and in good shape. If indeed ground is the only way to get there. Too bad that train is not currently running. That would be cool.

So the rough draft is this: Skip Ayacucho, maybe see Huancayo by ground round trip (thus avoiding the really bad roads between it and Cusco) and then fly to Cusco from Lima.

Has anyone made the trip to Huancayo?

Check Taca.com for flights from Chicago. I use them from San Francisco, good flights at good prices from here.

[ChicagoBoy23]

Any air options besides Delta to Lima, Peru ?

I am coming from Chicago. Looking for flight in July or August

Thanks in advance.

[ChicagoBoy23]

What is cheapest way to call Peru cell phone. Been ripped off by Nobel phone cards - ridiculously high rates. Double triple what they advertise. Don't understand why Peru is so much more expensive than say Argentina.

Thanks in advance

I am just adding this information that I posted on the Columbia board in the hope that it is helpful to others.

NYC EXPAT,

This is strictly for information purposes and not intended as a judgement of your situation. That being said there are plenty of Colombian or Latina looking 45 year olds right here in N.Y.C.

As far as the Visitors Visa or "Cita" as it is called in spanish.

There are two types "Tourist" and "Fiance".

Tourist- Will allow the women to come here on vacation.This visa can only be applied for at the U.S embassy in the womens home country. Besides the application it requires a face to face interview.

The cost is a $25 application fee that the women must pay at a bank before contacting the embassy for appointment. In addition there is a $100 non refundable processing fee that must be paid.

The $125.00 is probably what she was asking for. Which makes sense for 3 pops. As my Soprano friends like to say "You can pay me now or you can pay me later" sorry less I digress.

Once she pays the $25 to the bank and has a reciept she can call the U.S embassy for a appointment. At that time they will send her a application (which must be completed in English).

They will also give her a appointment for interview (about 5 min in duration and conducted in Spanish)

After the interview they will keep the $125.00, deny her application and send her on her way. We have to finance world domination some way!

There are however exceptions to every rule. It is possible to get a tourist if you can demonstrate the following.

1. You own a house.
2. You have a bank account with "Mucho Dinero"
3. You have a good job.

From my experience only the first two apply.

Which brings us to the Fiance Visa.

You can do this yourself or hire a agency (I have never done either but I am told the agency route is about $650.00)

This visa must be applied for by you.

Fiance Visa.

This allows your girlfriend to enter the country for 6 months.

If you marry her within six months she can stay in the country and apply for permanent status.

If you do not marry her she will:

A. Have to go home, never to be allowed entrance into our country again.

B. Simply dissapear to Corona N.Y. or where ever her husband, boyfriend or family lives. While you get to explain to the I.N.S.

There are many other conditions you must comply with:

A. Demonstrate you have a relationship with this women through letters,photos and travel documents.

B. Provide tax returns to prove you can support her.

C. Health certificates(no vd) and police reports for her.

If the idea of going thru this for a 45 y/o piece of ass is starting to bore you, imagine how I feel typing all this with one finger.

More info is available online at the U.S. State Dept. and probably has been written before by others on this site.

I hope this has been helpful.

P.S. Recurdo mi Amigo! A chica is just as likely to say "te amo" to get a visa as you are to say it to get in her pants.

I've visited both Argentina and Brazil. Now planning another trip to S. America. What country is the best (after Argentina and Brazil) for hot women?!? And I mean women in general (not just pros).
