Cusco

[Kuttappan]

My friends and I had a great time in Cuzco. We had no problem with the altitude at all. It was a very fun filled two nights in Cuzco. Arrived in Cuzco on Thursday morning and left Saturday morning. We probably slept about 1.5 hours total for two nights. Thursday morning we went to the main square and had a great time checking out the area. We had a wonderful lunch at this place called Heidi (?), the girls working in the Kitchen and waitresses made it even more fun for us to be there. I wish I knew some spanish1!! We could have picked up couple of chicas from the restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing.

Later in the evening we went to La Curva. It was an experience for me, I never seen so many people lining up for girls one after another!!! There were some hot chicas in the rooms and after having a very lame sex with one chica all I wanted was to get some good BJ. I had the taxi driver (who drove around us around town all day) ask a chica for only BJ and she agreed and it was a very thrilling BJ experience. I throat fucked the shit out of her for about 25 minutes. It was 20 soles but I gave her 30 for being really good. I was ready to leave until I saw a skinny chic with a tattoo on her breast. She was really skinny and hot. I decided to go in even after my friend told me not to. I should have listened to my friend. She was horrible!

After that we went back to the hotel to shower and went for dinner. We tried Inga Grill and the food was excellent, I tried guinea pig for the first time and I loved it. The service was excellent also. Three of us spend about 500 soles for dinner and we went to De Cameron for some night out fun. We just wanted to party all out and that exactly what we did. Drinks were expensive but we really didn’t care. We each spent about $150 each and left the place about 3:30 AM.

We were off to MP early in the morning on Friday and played cards until we reached the last train station. We had a burger at MP after the long train and bus ride. Then we went on to climb MP and had a good time. We didn’t stay for long at MP and we went back to the train station and switched our 5:30 ticket to 3.25. Back in Cuzco we went out for dinner and again it was a great experience. After dinner we decided to go back to De Cameron again (I don’t know why) and partied all night. End of the night I wanted to bang one of the chica and what a mistake it was. I paid 300 soles for her and 100 soles for bar fine. She was so lame that I couldn’t even get a hard on. Her name was Camila and avoid her at all cost; don’t even buy her a drink.

We left Cuzco Saturday morning for Lima.

Hotel we stayed: Torre Dorada (excellent hotel, not girl friendly I think). The service was just really good; they will pick/drop you off for trains, flights and Main Square. Stay there if you are in Cuzco.

My experience was the same at 6:30PM. No one available when I got there and apparently only one woman working, wanted 25 when she finished up with previous customer, and another guy showed up behind me. What a shame, as the location is sooo convenient.

Cuszco is all about the discos in the square and picking up the non-pros.

I will be in Cuzco from December 11 - 13. I am looking forward to meet any mongers over there.

Sushilover, I am eagerly waiting for your detailed report on Cuzco scene.

Also I would appreciate anyone who can give me some directions about getting to Machu Pichu from Cuzco. I am flying in to Cuzco on the 11th morning. What are my options to get to Machu Pichu? My flight back to Lima is at 8:00 AM on 13th.

Few questions I have are (I am reading the forum for better understanding):

1) Do I need to book a hotel prior to my arrival at Cuzco?

2) What type of cloths do you recommend for MP in December?

3) Do I need to book any guided tour to MP prior to my arrival?

4) What are the options for Pro-action in Cuzco?

5) How do I get to Machu Pichu from Cuzco?

Kuttapan,
Suggest you consult a travel website to answer your questions:
1. suggest you book hotel before hand.
2. Hiking clothes with removable layers.
3. No need, they have guides there.
4. No options
5. You need to book the train (in advance) Perurail.com you will be going and coming back the same day so you will only have a few hours to see MP. Better Idea is to stay an additional night in Aguas Calientes.

I arrived in Cusco this afternoon. After some coca tea, I went to check out Civid's place. It is exactly where he says it is! Just follow his directions and you can find it easily without knowing the name. Unfortunately when I went there at about 5 PM today, there was only one chuncky middle aged lady who asked for 30 soles. No gracias.

I'm off to Machu Picchu tomorrow!

Located on Av Garcilaso between Ave El Sol and Av. Tullumayo. You will see a large yellow gate with a hostal name painted on it. Walk to the gate and to the right you will see a small alley with the entrance to the hostal on your left. Chicas 25 soles and room 5 - 10 soles.

I am visiting Peru in first week of December and I will be in Peru only for 5 days. I like to visit machu pichu maybe for a day or two. Can you please tell me how I can get to Machu Pichu from Lima and if it is easy to find girls at Machu Pichu for fun?

Cusco is about a hours flight from Lima. Your schedule is pretty tight (for Macchu Picchu) but is doable. Only tourists in Machu Picchu, plenty of non-pro action (tourist & local) at the bars around the Plaza.

but don´t try bringing the coca leaf back into the U.S. It´s the base leaf of cocaine, and highly illegal in the U.S.

[ElKarl]

You can buy it anytime, you won't have any problems buying it in Cuzco specially.

Is this coca leaf readily available. I start my high altitude tour in La Paz then Cusco. Is there anything i can do in advance?

I'd start by reading a book about Peru.

I just got back from the San Tutis brothel in San Sebastian. All the taxi drivers know it. The cab ride was 8 soles each way, my guy hung around to get the whole round trip.

The place is like an ultra down-scale version of one of the Carson City bunny ranches. About 35-40 rooms, each with a chica. When they are available, they stand by their open door, and you pick one who meets your fancy. The base rate is 15 soles, which is FIVE BUCKS! That gets you a one position quickie TJ street girl style with the clothes still on. I paid an extra 15 soles for the extras of totally nude and multiple positions. The quality of the chicas runs the gamut from fatties to some surprisingly cute young ones. I did a chica who looks-wise, would be in the top 20% of TJ street chicas, thin, and I´d guess mid twenties. She was a clock watcher, But not bad for the first 10 minutes - but what the heck, I paid $10 bucks plus $6 cab fare. Nobody would ever mistake this for GFE, but for a cheap quickie, it did the trick -so Cusco´s not a total loss for action.

You should have chewed coca leaf. When I was in Cusco, I did that and had no problems and the others in my group refused to and had a lot of problems. I think Cusco is worthless for hookers but I would say it's worth a week, touristically. Sagsayuayman, the whole Sacred Valley, plus Machu Pichu, 3-4 days is not enough in my opinion.

I don't think the altitude sickness is avoidable if your body is used to near sea level. I'm in Cusco right now. The first day, I was a total wreck, despite the coca leaves and coca tea. By the middle of the 2nd day, I was fine.

I would say for Cusco, write off the 1st day, due to altitude acclimation, then allocate 2 days for sightseeing in Cusco itself, and 2 full days, or even 3, for the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

As for hobbying, so far I only hit the one place that was described in town on Garcilaso, and it was worthless - only one unattractive chica working. I will hit San Tutis either today or tomorrow to see if anything is worthwhile in Cusco.

I did chew some leaf and had some tea. Maybe it helped a little. Don't you need some lime with the leaf to have any effect? I was really only in bad shape the first night. Headache, short of breath and despite all the rain, very dry air. I also did everything wrong. Within an hour of landing, I went on the afternoon ruins tour which was uphill from Cusco. Then after that, I drank a bottle of Malbec at a restaurant. Stupid.

I doubt Maria even remembers me, but you could refresh her memory by taking her out to Cafe Tortoni for some food . . . JaJa.

But Cusco has some interesting eating options . . . cuy and alpaca.

The cuy is served in the tradional manner - with head and legs attached. Not much meat on those little boney legs, but you can suck the head for some rich "brain meat". Skin was tough and rubbery - like a lot of the girls I date. Overall, not bad but not my favorite dish. Somewhere between rat and nutria . . .

On the other hand, the roast alpaca was great. Especially the babys. Yeah, they cry out for their mothers when you first throw them on the grill, but that is some good eating. It's the "other" white meat. Plus they're so damn cute. Highly recommended.

Most everything - food, alpaca clothes, etc, is more expensive in Cusco than in Lima. If you plan on buying a few trinkets or hats or sweaters, you can find the same stuff in Lima cheaper.
