Cusco

[Slick Rich33]

Hi All, There are some other options besides Decamaron and San Tutis. I went to a club called La Noika which is a bar fine club. I think the fine is about 50 soles/and for the girl I paid her S/150. Next time. I'll be more selective. The girl I had was the least attractive in the club, but the most aggressive, as soon as I entered the place she was on me like a cheap suit, having spent all day in the Sacred Valley of the Incas I was tired. Not being mentally Prepared for this, she grabbed my hand and took me to a seat in the back of the club where she got me to order expensive drinks for me and her! She pretended to be hot and ready for sex and gave me a DFK! This was not the girl for me so I wanted to give her the slip. I told her that I wanted to go the rest room to take a [CodeWord140], that was my chance to escape! When I walk out the restroom she was right there waiting for me like a Armed Security Guard Shhhiiittt no chance for escape! It was like she new I would walk out! So I told her lets go, back to the hostel we go. Back in the room her performance was Very poor, and she even caught a bad attitude for some reason. I got my nut and I was done for the night. The guy at the front desk said"Daaammmm she was Ugly, in Cusco you can do much better", Thats what I get for being a Nice and not saying NOOOO!

P.S. I came accross some other clubs and forgot there names, It was late Saturday night going into Sunday Morning So everything was pretty much dead! One club had 2 girls laying on a couch, thay looked lazy. The club manager knowing that I was a Tourist told me that It was a $100 for the girl, and $50 dollars U. S for Him WTF!

Walk on the trail of Wayna Pichu to Pichu Pichu (Peak) is good idea to go with the guide. Guide has the coca leaves to minimize the elevation effects. Bring water, snack & camera for a small picnic at the peak (Pichu Pichu)

I took the trip this Wednesday. From Cuzco to Piscacucho on a minivan (from PeruRail) around 2 and a half hours and them the train to Aguas Calientes, another 1 and a half hour. Best option is to stay a night in Aguas Calientes and do the visit first thing in the morning. If you do it all in one day (like I did) it's a very long day and most of it just travelling. Also if you’re planning on climbing the Wayna Pichu you have to be there pretty early because there is a limit on the number of visitors ( 400 I think)

As of last week, trains are running from Aguas Calientes to Piscacucho. We had to take a bus (provided by Inca Rail) from Piscacucho to Ollantaytambo where my ride back to Cuzco was waiting.

Hola,

Anybody have an update on the status of the railroad repairs from Cusco to MP?

What do you think the outlook is for June 1 time frame?

Thanks,

Noq

travel.state.gov updates the information as it comes in. I was on the website today for other reasons and came across it.

Trains supposed to start running again April first. Tourists are visiting MP now going in the back way.

Hey LB:

I just received an email from a local gal I know in Cusco and she said things are awful there now. Also, the same for the nearby sacred valley. She noted there are lots of homeless, cold, and hungry people due to the incessant rain. She works for a five star hotel in town that is currently 90% empty and was put on 'vacation' by the hotel until things improve.

Because Haiti dominates the news in the US, one does not see any information on this situation. Also, my friend mentioned that Ayacucho is in bad shape too.

Hey Tom, hows the skiing?

The city of Cusco is fine, although "no tourists"! Either they have canceled their trips or are hanging out in Miraflores.

Sacred valley is a mess with 2,000+ homes destroyed and the crops as well.
We are already seeing the price increases in Lima.

You probably read about the 1500 tourists trapped in aguas calientes (macchu picchu town) that had to be evacuated by helicopter.

The most optimistic projections call for the railway to be rebuilt in 8 weeks.

Heard, you are headed to SEA this spring/summer ?

Do not know if I told you but I have a friend staying at your ex's apartment as the Penthouse is booked till April.

Do to the effects of "El Nino" (worst flooding in 20 years), Anyone with plans to visit there or Machu Picchu in the next few months, should rethink there plans.

I am scheduled to go the end of June, but will have a "plan B" if the trains are not running.

After I could not find the place on Garcilaso I asked the first taxi driver that pulled up if there were any chongos in the area. He said yes and it would be 7 soles to take me and my wingman there. We hopped in the ride. After a few minutes I started seeing signs that said San Sebastian. Having had the info from Civid's post with me I asked him if we were going to San Tutis. He said yes.

We finally pulled up into the compound. There was an open gate leading to a cobblestone road with a guard sitting in a shack. When we got to the top of the hill we turned right and went through another open gate. And there it was. It appeared to be an old motel. Each of the 39 doors (I walked around and counted while waiting for my wingman to finish up) had S/15 painted on it in big letters. If anyone has ever been to Las Cucardas in Lima then it is pretty much the same deal, only it was on the outside, it was cheaper, and there was no cover charge. The driver did wait for us to finish although as Civid reported there were other taxis there as well.

Actually more closer to the Trocadero for those have have been. A good place to convince a chica to take the night off and hang with you if the session is good (next night, of course). I had a great session there, and the chica was more than thrilled to spent TLN with me for 60 bucks than have to bang 11 guys for that kind of money....

As soon as I got back from Machu Picchu it started raining. The van driver let us out at Plaza San Francisco about 5pm. We had to walk around and look for a place to stay. While my wingman was looking for a 4 star hotel I only needed a hostel or cheap hotel seeing that we would only be here until tomorrow morning. Every place that I found that was decent said that I could not bring guests. Finally I got so fed up with walking in the rain with my bags that I settled on this place. Cusco Plaza II. I was really disappointed that I would not be able to bring anyone because I was hoping to get a S/30 massage after walking around Machu Picchu all day. As for mongering, I knew that I would be looking for an on-site service center. I am pretty satisfied with the room although wifi is only in the common area downstairs. But for US$25 you can't beat it with a stick.

So while in a taxi I ask the driver if there are any chongos (brothels) in Cusco. Of course he responds yes and tells me about a place in San Sebastian, just outside Cusco. He also mentions the previously mentioned expensive clubs but I tell him I want to check this place in San Sebastian.

The place is called San Tutis (or San Tutas). It is located in a neighborhood called San Sebastion about 10 minutes outside of the center of Cusco. You drive in to a little compound and there are about 50 doors for rooms where the girls work out of. You walk around and check out the chicas, pick the one you want and go in her room. The price - 15 soles!

The taxi driver was great to, he walked around with me giving me his opiniones on the chicas he knew, and waited for me to take me back to town. Though there were plenty of other taxis there waiting if your taxi doesn´t want to wait.

The taxi asked for 14 soles for there and back. I gave him 20 for hanging out and waiting.

So 20 soles for taxi and 15 soles for chica. 35 soles total!!! So for future mongerers just ask a taxi to take you to the San Tutis (or San Tutas) chongo in San Sebastian.

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.

About 9pm I went walking to look for this place but did not see any yellow gate with any hostal name painted on it. There was a security guard at a restaurant on Tullumayo right off of Garcilaso. I asked him about it but he had no idea. Maybe this place has closed down.
