Olenka is in the San Tutis brothel, which is in San Sebastian.

A chica's name...dah Psychman

[Lima Busy]

Is Olenka also in San Sabastian, or in Cusco proper (just for asking a Cab to get me there).

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!

You were correct the first time it is San Tutis and Olenka is the highest rated, which is probably unimportant when you are talking 15-20 soles.

So after my time with my chica in the San Sebastian chongo my taxi driver informs me that one of the other taxi drivers told him that the hostal directly across from my hotel in Cusco has 2 to 3 girls available also for 25 soles.

Unfortunately I have a scheduled flight the next day. I start to think maybe i should change my flight to explore more of these possibilites in Cusco. Why hasn´t anyone discovered these places before? Oh well I am willing to do some discovering. I inquire first thing in the morning about switching my flight to the following day, but all the flights are full. Damn it!!!

It is 9:30 am and as I walk back to my hotel I decide to just go in the Hostal and inquire just to see what they say. I walk in and ask the attendant if there are chicas available (Hay chicas disponible?). He looks very startled. I don´t know if it is because a gringo has walked into the place, because someone wants a chica so early in the morning, or the combination of the both. He responds yes and leads me up to a room and tells me to wait.

I hear him waking the girls. As I wait I start to worry that some old fat ugly chicas are going to waddle in. To my surprise about 7 minutes later to young good looking chicas walk in the door. Of course they are not looking there best since they just hopped out of bed and spent 7 minutes getting ready, but there is some nice natural beauty here and I am impressed. Candy 18 years old and Pamela 21 years old.

I have a flight in just a couple of hours so I say fuck it and take them both for 70 soles. I also had to pay 10 soles for the room. The girls told me the rooms cost 5 to 10 soles depending on which one you choose. I wasn´t given a choice and was lead to the 10 soles room. If you go you might want to ask to see a 5 soles and 10 soles room and decide for youself.

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 imagine there are a lot more of these type of Hostals in Cusco similar to the ones Artistyp was digging up in Lima. Hopefully the next mongerer came uncover a few more.

PM me if you want the actual name of the Hostal. As recommended to me by a very senior member of the forum I have removed the name of the Hostal from this post to protect the girls and prevent the place from getting busted.

Having read through the forum here for Cusco and not really interested in the $100 places listed such as Decamron Club and Cassanova Club I decided to inquire a bit as to other options. I had learned in Ecuador to never assume and always ask. 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!

This place is not for the weak kneed of course and is no high class joint. But I rather enjoyed it. There were a couple of really nice looking girls here. I picked out a nice 21 year old from Lima and she provided cbj and multiple positions.

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.

Glad it worked out Rick. I just hate to see mongers do the 4 hour train in the morning then 3 hours at Machu then 4 hour train back all in same day--- nightmare.

That hike up Waynu is steep and tiring. If only it wasn't foggy when I was on top. FYI - Tourists fall in machu every year and die.

There are a ton of non-pro 20's type backpacker chicks everywhere in Cusco-Machu Pichu from all over the world. Too much effort to land them though in 2 days for me.

Scratch a 7 wonders of the world off your list.

The local babes in Cusco just ROCKED. There was one after another delicious babe on the street, in stores, restaurants, everywhere. I couldn't believe my eyes.

The same rule applies as in Bangkok: do not look at any one babe for more than an instant because you'll see another in a moment.

Anyway, I didn't meet any of them, dog tired from all the exercise.

I would like to know how many tourists fall off wayna picchu every year. It must be quite a few. I saw a few chunky american pork chop babes trying to haul their butts up there, if they did it must have been a struggle to get down.

Thanks again

I am going to be in Cuzco on November 14 and planning to visit Machu Pichu. If anybody is interested to join me going to Machu Pichu, pm me.

Holy crap, what a trip, everything worked out perfectly exactly as you said.

Arrived in Cusco on the plane from Lima and spent the night. I have never seen so many hot babes, wow wow wow. Too tired to chase down any of them but there are discos. E. G. Under the Savoy hotel, I'm sure you can meet them.

I hired a taxi to take me to Ollantaytambo for $25, he threw in several interesting side trips including Chincheros along the way. We left at 11 and also had an hour for lunch, still made it in plenty of time for the 255 PM train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes.

I stayed in the El Presidente overlooking the rapids with all the white noise, awesome. Aguas Calientes is a cool little town, no cars, the only access is by train. Somewhat pricey but worth it.

I stayed two nights and was glad I did. I was up with the birds the first day and at machu picchu by 7. By 10 it was packed, so good to go early.

It is pricey: S/ 20 for the bus and S/ 120 to get in, I had to pay for both days, still well worth it, no problem.

I spent 7 hours there, the machu picchu ruins/city is quite large, needs time to go all around.

The next day I climbed up wayna picchu and it is very very dangerous, be careful near the top. The stairs are like ladders and if you fall you go 3, 000 feet straight down. Gulp.

Took the 120 train back to ollantaytambo, had arranged for the same driver to get me and take me back to Cusco

Thanks again for all your help.

First, sorry I didn’t format my reply so you can clearly see what Steve 99 wrote in 183 vs. My questions, so here goes again. Steve says:

1. Fly to Cuzco

2. Taxi to Ollyanta

3. 255 train to Aguas Calientes

4. See Machu Picchu next day

5. Train back to Ollyanta

6. Taxi again to Cuzco

7. Fly back to Lima

Here is what I'm trying to do so I don't have to fiddle around at 5 or 6 a. M.

A)fly to Cuzco stay overnight

B)get to Aguas somehow middle of the day next day

C)stay 2 nights at Aguas, visit Machu Picchu

D)go back to Cuzco in the middle of the day

E)overnight again in Cuzco

F)fly back to Lima

So what is the best way to go from Cuzco to Aguas Calientes in the middle of the day?

I also need to know how long it takes to get a train ticket mid-November plus a Machu Picchu access pass for $43 (do I have to pay all that each day? ) plus a bus pass for $12.

Sorry to drive you nuts about this, it's a very long trip from San Francisco, don't want to screw it up.

There is another similar option, and that is to take the 1 day bus tour from Lima to the ruins and have them drop you off in Ollyanta and take the 7 pm train to Aquas Caliente. Once you get to AC, there are hostels along the railway track that back up to the river rapids so all night you hear the white noise of the rapids. My hostel was Adele's for $25 bucks a night, had a seperate entrance for privacy and nice bed. Good stuff. Steve's advice to spend the entire day at Macchu Picchu is noteworthy. Get up early and take the first bus, take a tour and then climb Wayapicchu and walk the trail to the bridge, go back and sleep it off and leave the next day. All worth it. the next day I trained back to Ollyanta and had a guy waiting for me with mountain bikes and spent the day going downhill. Another worthwhile adventure that was cheap, easy to arrange in Cusco and cost me about what it would have cost to cab back. I think, like Steve says, that it is a mistake to day trip to Macchu Picchu.

[Rick Williams]

Thanks a TON steve for taking all the time to put in the details.

I'll get everything arranged and post it here next week, then after my trip mid-November I will post what actually happened LOL and we can laugh over the differences.

Thanks again

Ok this is simple. Well kind of.

Understand that the trains that leave from cusco all leave early. No way around that from Cusco.

So you have to go to Ollantaytamo to catch a 2:55 train to Agus Calienete.

So how far is Ollantaytamo from Cusco -- FAR. Its an hour and half ride by cab. It costs about $30 though you could probably get it cheaper.

Now getting any ticket out of peru rail is a total pain in the ass. They only do it by email and it takes them forever to get back to you. Then you would have to pick that ticket up in Cusco somewhere in the morning so you would have it for the train ride. I don't think you can pick up the ticket in Ollantaytamo.

You want to go to Sacred Valley part of the peru rail site. Get the round trip ticket from Ollantaytamo to Aguis Caliente.

The hotel you are staying in Aguis Caliente will often pick the train ticket up for you and arrange the cab. Gringo Bills did that for me for a small fee. I would recommend this highly.

Now the benefit of this is you do not have to ride the train for 4 hours. It is only an hour and a half ride. You end of paying about the same when you figure in cab costs. The cab ride is cool.

Once you are in Aguis Caliente you can buy the Machu Pichu entrance ticket and bus ticket there. No need to pre-order that.

You could bypass the whole Ollyanta thing and get your ass up early and take the trains from Cusco in that you are staying in Cusco first night.

What you are going to do is stay at Aguis Calenente the first night. This is the village below Machu Pichu. I stayed at Gringo Bills which is kinda expensive at $75 USD bucks but is cool built into the mountain. So you fly into Cusco from Lima in the morning. Then you take a cab from Cusco to Ollyanta. This is the last stop on the train before it goes onto to Ague Calentes. The train you want to get is the 2:55 pm train. The cab ride is about an hour and a half but is cool scenery going through the Sacred Valley. I paid $30 USD for this ride but you can get it cheaper. Gringo Bills can set it up for you. Also you need to get your train ticket through the hotel so the cab driver will have the ticket for you.

Then you take the train back to Ollyanta and take cab into Cusco and stay the night in Cusco and get a headache from the high altitude. I stayed 2 nights in Cusco which was about right. I planned on 1 but extended it to 2.

Thanks a ton for all the info but I'm still a little bit lost. Here's what I understood:

1. Fly to cuzco, I have a ticket already

2. I'll stay one afternoon and overnight in cuzco, sounds cool.

3. Then I had figured out that I need to stay in aguas calientes to be close enough to take a short bus ride to machu picchu. I was just going to take a daytime train (not some 6 a. M. Thing) and go comfortably the next day to aguas, sleep there overnight

4. See machu picchu next day and sleep over in aguas again.

5. Go to machu again if it was foggy day before or just take the train whenever back to cuzco sleep overnight there again.

6. Fly back to Lima

So where and why does ollyanta come into this?

What is the simplest and shortest way to get from cuzco to aguas calientes and back again?

I'm not in a hurry, just want it real simple.

Thanks a ton guys
