Lima

75% cheaper than the S /25 chongos or 75% cheaper than the S /200-300 freelancers?

Sigh. You guys only care about the price of pussy and not about the price it costs to get somewhere, the looks of the women, and lodging costs. Quite frankly, the looks of the cheap hookers in Colombia blew away the high end ones in Lima.

In this Doubletree dump, you're not even allowed to open the entrance door to the hotel yourself. Peru had good and cheap mongering available when El Trocadero and Las Cucardas were open. Lima was in no way a poor mongering destination like Santiago.

Cost of a room at one of three Doubletree hotels in Bogota hotels in Bogota ranges from $52 to $55 a night on hotels.com. Cost of one night in Lima Doubletree is $108 on hotels.com. It is $109 a night in Santiago. In Mexico City $80 and in Sao Paulo it is $65. Everyone of those locations save for Santiago has better looking women.

I really do not even know why you guys are arguing this point. Maybe once Peru devalues its currency again, it will be a bargain, but it sure as hell is not now.

That is new, I stayed there in Feb pre covid and it was totally girl friendly.

I booked the next 2 weeks at J Pardo (former "Las Americas" then "Thunderbird") where they assured me visits were allowed. If I remember right the Thunderbird epoch was not girl-friendly. The Las Americas epoch (dating back to Fujimori) was girl-friendly though.

I've heard even private apartments posed problems for visits (neighbours complaining of visits on the basis of Covid guidelines). It's like a wave of bloody-mindedness had settled over the country. Stark contrast with the totally relaxed attitude of the Brazilians.

Peru had good and cheap mongering available when El Trocadero and Las Cucardas were open. Lima was in no way a poor mongering destination like Santiago. El Trome and El Comercio were full of "massage" classified adds. Now of course no papers get published ("Covid", of course).

In this Doubletree dump, you're not even allowed to open the entrance door to the hotel yourself. You must wait for the long-faced doorman to do it for you. Beforehand you are made to stand on a square matt for your temperature to be scanned. You must wipe your feet on a second special matt. "Covid", you see.

Doormen have been challenging me for my room number at every opportunity, although I'm sure I stand out like a sore thumb here and everybody knows I'm a guest.

Do not get me wrong. The women in Lima are sweet, but the price of housing / hotels is double that of Colombia. Food is 50% more and if you go to Santa Fe in Bogota or Centro in Medellin, pussy is like 75% cheaper.

I'd booked 6 nights at Doubletree Pardo assuming it would be girl-friendly like its namesake in Sao Paulo.

Customs at Lima airport no longer stamp passports of arriving or departing foreigners ("Covid", of course).

I'm a tad confused about the stamping of passports; which is fine because I'm old and silly. So, who does this benefit? I was told that happen when going to Cuba, but after two visits, I have two pinche stamps.

Also, what did you expect in Lima? Even though they are open for some visitors, the country is taking an ass-kicking! So much so, they are willing to try the vaccine from China!

If I was religious, I would say god help them. But, I'm not. However, I have many contacts in Peru and I wish them only the best.

I love Lima and I will return!

This country is still largely in lockdown. I'd booked 6 nights at Doubletree Pardo assuming it would be girl-friendly like its namesake in Sao Paulo. Big mistake. No visits allowed ("Covid", usual excuse). After I made somewhat of a fuss the receptionist agreed I could have a visitor for a 20 USD joiner fee. This was all theoretical since I hadn't been able to locate a girl worth a joiner fee yet. I'm not even sure girls, especially non Peruvian girls, would want to visit clients in hotels since a girl is required to leave her ID at reception and if her name is entered into the computer system she might get tracked down for violating social distancing rules. I've seen many online girls list the fews hotels to which they're prepared to go. This could suggest all other hotels are problematic.

I hope to have more to report in the days to come but don't count on it. There are girls online but they seldom reply to messages. Plus, they look average compared to the lookers in Brazil.

Lima is not Sao Paulo folks! Stay in Brazil if you can.

XXL,

I was engaged to a Venezuelan and I helped move her to Lima. She was hot, her body was a 10 and I felt that she could be on the cover of a fitness magazine. I was worried that she would get prayed on there and she did. I was bummed I lost her but I thank God now that I did.

Thing is when I was with her in Lima, I never saw anyone hotter than her. It seems inevitable that whenever you have a hottie, you look around and see someone better looking than your gal. Anyway, that never happened with her in Peru.

Then I went to Bogota and Medellin and I saw hundreds of women in my ex's class. Thing is that they performed better, were nicer, and they were not nearly as cocky.

Do not get me wrong. The women in Lima are sweet, but the price of housing / hotels is double that of Colombia. Food is 50% more and if you go to Santa Fe in Bogota or Centro in Medellin, pussy is like 75% cheaper.

I have been to Lima many times, and I do not know why any monger would go there. Lima is probably the worse deal for pussy outside of possibly Santiago in South America.

Next time rent an apartment and stick with Non, semi-pros.

Not published for all to see.

Not Brazil types, mind you but GFE with a young chick.

Later.

Nothing for it but first finding an AirbnB that you like then messaging the owner. Sometimes the house rules tell you whether it is guest friendly. Can be tricky though. There's one I messaged to enquire about a safe and I'd have sworn it was guest friendly the first time, now I see it explicitly bans visitors. Choice of AirbnBs in Lima not that great compared to Sao Paulo.

Girl-unfriendliness had tended to vanish from hotels, now it is rearing its ugly head again through AirbnB.

Has anyone tried the short-time hotel scene?

Apparently there are some good ones around, esp with spa / steamroom inside for around S /60 for about 3-4 hours, esp in Lince / LOS Olivos.

Read through the past several pages of the forum and am not finding much info on lodging. I am currently finding cheap flights from NY to Lima in February is making me consider a trip down. As I am in the initial planning process, does anyone have suggestions on renting an airbnb vs a chica friendly hotel? Any tips on finding chica friendly airbnb's?

Not as safe as we think:

https://www.corporatetravelsafety.co...ght-they-were/

Sure, but all hotels above a certain range have safes so they must be part of an overall safety strategy, even if you only leave some cash in them as a decoy and hide your really valuable things somewhere else in the room.

Why can't AirbnB get their act together on this?

I've rented 2 AirbnBs with a safe in Brazil but they were both within hotels, so not really typical for AirbnB.

Any tip about an an AirbnB with a safe in Lima? The girl-friendliness is easy enough to sort out but the in-room safe is trickier. Some hosts will have safes that are not even attached to the wall.

The AirbnB App provides filtering for equipments. There's all kinds of life-saving equipments like hair-dryer and piano you can filter for, but no one seems ever to have heard of an in-room safe. Carbon monoxide detector? No, I have no intention of running a combustion engine in the apartment thank you. Am I the only traveller desperate to hang on to his passport and credit cards?

You have never put your belongings in a safe in a rented apartment or hotel? There is a general trust exisiting for the security of the places that you rent from people. I have put my things in rented safes all around the world with no problem. If there was a rash of problems with this then you would see it in the reviews. I stayed at this dump and all my shit went missing.

So what good would even a pacsafe or lock box do if like you said you had no idea who had the keys to the apartment? They could come in and take your pac safe or lockbox and leave faster than they could take the shit out of the safe.

Yes of course but I am also not nieve enough to think that someone doesn't have a master key to the safe. Therefore I lock up my things BEFORE I put them into the safe. Hence if someone has a key they will need another key to open my contents or just flat out break into it which equals a robbery and no easy access. If my money wasn't locked up someone can easily enter your safe pull a few bills out and you would never know it. That does happen.

We all have our way of securing items. IMO some of the best ways are in plain sight with a little thinking and planning that goes into it.

For years I have recommended https://www.corporatetravelsafety.co...ks-for-travel/ They have some very cool devices that you can purchase.

I use a combination of psychology and security when I hide my things. I also never assume that my things are truly secure by whatever means I have been given to secure them. I like to add my own level of protection to it.

There is also something called a KEE LOCK which you can put over your door handle and no-one will be able to enter your room or apartment without a key to it. It weighs maybe 2 lbs . It goes everywhere with me. Maids hate it !

[Mr Enternational]

I seriously doubt you will find a safe in an Air BnB. Even if you did why would you put your valuables in someone else's safe when you don't know who has extra keys to the apartment or the safe?
