Lima

[Tomasb]

I just saw a report in a US news show of a San Francisco couple who are stuck, it appeared, in Aguas Caliente, the town below Machu Picchu. This small tourist village can only be accessed by train as there are no roads except for the dirt path to Machu Picchu above the town. According to the report, the train service has been suspended and no supplies can arrive in the town;this includes food and medicine provisions. The US embassy said they hope that they can evacuate by Christmas. The couple mentioned there are approximately 800 tourists in the town who have now way to get out. Cusco is 4 hours away by train and then car. I saw another post on my FB post made by an acquaintance in Cusco of the Plaza de Armas in Cusco, their main square in the old city, littered with dozens of protesters. The airport there is closed as is the main international airport in Lima. Things seem very bad indeed not to mention the long term repercussions to the tourist industry. For what's it's worth, the news coverage in the US has been minimal, probably in part to the suddenness of this political event and the difficulty in getting in or out of the country.

From what I have read online this seems to be more of an issue outside of Lima. Although some reports on Reddit mention protests near Centro Lima.

They are trying to bring back the resistance which was around in the 80's /90's. That's why Peru was so cheap at one time. There were bombs going off in Lima. I hope it doesn't come to that again.

I remember wanting to move to Lima several years ago. Just going through Covid in Lima would have been a nightmare.

Love the people though.

Not one word on us traveling over their that are stuck and can't get out? Anyone with first hand information? Thanks, travel safe!

I read last night that the airport in Cusco is closed with thousands of stranded tourists in the city. Also, Machu Picchu is closed as well. The city and province of Cusco was just starting to recover from the Covid years and this news certainly does not help with attracting tourists to the country.

Yes, unfortunately things are going to get worse before getting better. We are, once again, under the attack of the terrorists of Sendero Luminoso through its façade organizations like Movadef and others, and these guys mean their business. But they overestimated Pedro Castillo and he was impeached before they could be ready, so I'm confident this won't last long and we should regain normality in a few weeks (cross my fingers).

Spent a day (literally) in Lima. Stayed at the JW and prearranged Amaya from Geisha Academy. I had requested another girl but she didn't do long dates. Photos are accurate and she was decent looking. Nothing to write home about but her she could move her body.

After some pillow talk she went to the mall with me for last minute souvenirs before we parted ways. Overall the time went fast and it was worth the price for me. I have used Geishas in CDMX and had a good time there. I would repeat with the service, though probably try a different girl.

Kit, thanks for your report on Geisha Academy. I guess I missed my chance to book with them while I was in Lima. Smh.

[Yendappu]

Yes, they have declared 30 days of state of emergency. Its going to disrupt plans for tourist, if you are not already there in Peru, you are better off pushing the travel plans as safety is utmost important.

"It has been agreed to declare a state of emergency for the entire country. This is due to acts of vandalism, violence, the seizure of highways and roads, which are certainly already being stabilized and controlled by the National Police and the Armed Forces and which require a forceful and authoritative response from the government.

The declaration includes the suspension of the rights of "personal security and freedom," including the rights of assembly and freedom of movement.

You've made me remember my beginnings as a monger because that was a common modus operandi when I was young, 40/45 years ago, before the internet.

In those days, you found the girls in the classifieds in the newspaper under "Personals". There was an agency in Lince with very nice girls that I used to call, they asked you to call them from a public phone on the corner of Avenida Petit Thouars and Jiron Soledad and, when you called, they asked "How are you dressed?"; I guess they could see you from their apartment's window. Once they had seen you and decided you weren't dangerous (and not a cop), you could ask for a specific girl, if you already had your favourite, or for the type of girl you wanted (age, height, size, etc.). After a few minutes the girls would arrive walking, usually two or three (they never went out alone) of them, you chose the one you liked best and walked with her to a hotel nearby.

Good old times.

By the way; political unrest is growing, some roads have been taken, some police and government buildings have been attacked and the confrontation between protesters and police has already produced some deaths, all of them in the provinces, thankfully not in Lima. In Lima, life goes on more or less as usual but, if you are in Peru right now, be wise and stay out of trouble. This should pass in a couple of weeks.

I reserved 4 hours and she showed up about 20 minutes late due to traffic, but they kept me updated. The first floor is check in area only and I guess they stopped her so she left her ID. I had been waiting for her near the lounge on the 2nd FL. She came up a few minutes later dressed nicely at first glance. Once upstairs I realized she was only wearing a sport coat and bra. She was young enough with a nice enough body to get away with it. Went upstairs and chatted / drank a little, then had round one. We hung out for a bit, went downstairs for a few more drinks and then went back upstairs for round two. The alcohol made it a lot more intense!

After some pillow talk she went to the mall with me for last minute souvenirs before we parted ways. Overall the time went fast and it was worth the price for me. I have used Geishas in CDMX and had a good time there. I would repeat with the service, though probably try a different girl.

They do the same shit in Lince saying to go to Ban Bif on Arenales and Risso. I think there are several places in that area and they can see you out of the windows if you stand there. I always say that I am not playing those dumb ass games. Either give me the address to the place or fuck it.

I texted via WhatsApp with around 8 girls advertising in KINESTOPS and located in San Borja. I got 5 or 6 replies with similar instructions: go to Rustica Bar on Aviacion Ave and call from there. That's when I realized there was an apartment with girls in that area.

Great report CoffeeMat. Hopefully, law and order situation didn't get bad due to the Peru's president being ousted few days back.

Was the KINESTOPS only source you used during this entire trip? What source did you use to find the apartment girls in Santa Borja area?

Hey at Yendappu.

I flew out of Lima back home before the former president was impeached. From my understanding, LIM airport is fully operational.

About my day 4 in San Borja, I texted via WhatsApp with around 8 girls advertising in KINESTOPS and located in San Borja. I got 5 or 6 replies with similar instructions: go to Rustica Bar on Aviacion Ave and call from there. That's when I realized there was an apartment with girls in that area.

My system:

I started searching 3 internet sites 2-4 weeks before my trip. My suggestion: do your homework, it will save you time and money, and improve your chances of having a great time.

1. PLACERES DEL PERU: it is an escort site where girls advertise at PEN 300-400 per hour. I did not try this site in my last trip.

2. GEISHA ACADEMY (note all quotes are in USD): it is an agency with rates at USD180-$200 for a 2-hour appointment. I used their service once in 2021 with good results. Kassandra, the same girl in the pictures arrived on time. I had a good time and enjoyed the company. Kassandra even gave me her personal phone number and I saw her on a 2nd date paying around $130 (she discounted the agency fee).

Fast forward to 2022, I looked into the +15 profiles on the web (Kassandra's profile is not there anymore) and selected my top 5 options based mainly on score. One week before my trip, I contacted the agency and asked for their time availability. They took 30 min-2 hrs to get back to me with time slot availability (9 AM or 4 PM), and I told them that I would call 1 day before I wanted to meet. I also did not try this site on my last trip because of the good results I got with Kinestops.

3. KINESTOPS: another escort site with donation rates at PEN 220 for 1 hour. You can check the comments on several of the profiles, which in many cases include ratings, and contact them via Whatsapp. I realized that when texting the girls, I was contacting 2 or 3 different escort agencies.

Day 2: I started texting Arantza (score 6-8 out of 10) to schedule a date, but they told me she was not available and instead they gave me 3 names: Bianka, Ghia and Ehymi. I chose Bianka based on my previous research several weeks before my trip and boy, I hit the jackpot. The girl arrived 20-30 minutes after I set the appointment, and she was exactly like the pictures, all the way GFE. I had a great time that I ended up booking a 2nd date with her on my last day in Lima. My score 9/10. Very close to being a unicorn in my dictionary.

Day 4: I tried something different and outside of the Lince area. This time I went to an apartment located in San Borja, 2 blocks from "La Rambla" mall (Uber ride is 10-15 min from San Isidro). They introduced me to 5-6 girls and I chose Mariana for a 30-min appointment, paying PEN 160. Cute girl and good service, GFE type. Two main advantages of this apartment: you don't have to book a hotel room and you get to "see before you touch". My score 7/10.

Day 5: I decided to pull the trigger and scheduled a date with Marlitt, new profile on the website without any reviews yet. I was curious on meeting her. We set place and time, and right after I booked the room, she ghosted me. I was TGTBT! After wasting time and money, I switched back to my original plan and play safe: set appointments only with girls that have reviews.

Day 6: I booked an appointment with Pieri, she arrived 30 minutes later looking exactly like the pictures, she was shy, and I had to take the initiative. Looked like she was tired or something, YMMV? My score 4/10.

TIPS (full disclosure: all these work for me, and could be different on a case-by-case basis).

Language barriers: "No hablo espaol? Don't worry. I was texting 100% of the time via Whatsapp to set appointments. Everybody uses Whatsapp in Lima. Very easy and straight forward process. You also can use Google Translate.

Weather: very mild and pleasant in Nov-Dec, ranging from 50's-70's Fahrenheit. You can wear a light jacket in the morning / evening and short sleeves are fine during the day.

Currency exchange: Go to the "Casas de Cambio" in Lince. Easy in-and-out, safe and you get better rates than the banks.

Cash pmts: to the escort, in PEN currency to avoid any confusion. You can also pay the hotel room.

Credit Card pmts: For Uber, restaurants and even hotels. Just make sure you understand if your credit card company charges a fee for foreign transactions.

Area: I decided on district of Lince. It is next to San Isidro (Uber ride is 5-10 min to Lince) and very close to Miraflores (Uber ride is 15-20 min to Lince). There are more than 15 hotels to choose from, but my favorite ones in order were:

1. Quadrum: Newest building in the area, clean, good size room. Cost was PEN 80 for a room, 6 hrs.

2. Asturias: Clean place, rooms and bathrooms are a little bit smaller. Cost is PEN 60 for 6 hours.

3. Wellspring: King size bed, good for a threesome! Cost is PEN 60 for 6 hours + PEN 30 for a 3rd person in the room. And yes, on day 5 I booked a threesome with Camila and Jazmin. Total damage was PEN 500 for 1. 5 hrs.

Timing: Plan on adding 30 min-1 HR from the time you check into the hotel for the girl to arrive to your room.

Respect: treat others how you want to be treated.

Food: Regardless of the purpose of your trip, business or vacation, your Lima experience cannot be complete without eating emblematic dishes like cebiche and lomo saltado. You can find good places to try traditional food also in Lince: El Ricon Que No Conoces and Doomo Saltado were my favorite restaurants. My suggestion: NEVER get lomo saltado for carry out, sit down at the restaurant and order for dine in. You will thank we later!

Enjoy your trip to Lima and have fun!

Thanks @CoffeeMat for your report.

I particularly appreciate your naming the hotels and their prices, since most reports just mention "A nearby hotel" or "A hotel in Lince" which is not really helpful.

As I've said before, I'm not a regular user of Ad-Sites for girls but, for the few occasions I use one, I tend to favor Kinestops. The reason is that they have this "Fotos Verificadas" water seal in some of the girl's pictures and I've always had better results by limiting my options to those girls.

Now, no Ad-Site offers any guarantee at all and Kinestops is no exception, anybody can publish an ad as long as he (she) pays for it but, at Kinestops, the seal means that the girl showed up to their offices and they took the pictures themselves. That is not a 100% guarantee against bait-and-switch and, of course, a certain amount of Photoshop is to be expected but, at least, it is a guarantee that the girl really exists. Photos without the seal in a girl's ad mean that they were provided by the person that paid for the ad, so the chance of it being a scam is higher. Other sites have the same system but I've found them to be a lot less trustworthy.

I checked your girls at the site and found that Bianka's photos do have the "Fotos Verificadas" water seal while Marlitt's photos do not have it, so the probability that the girl doesn't exists is high. You probably contacted an agency and they didn't have a girl available at that moment.

Thanks a lot, once again, for your report.
