Quito

[QUOTE=TheTallMan;2217899]I read how many are fleeing Venezuela and yes many making money in Bogota, Cartagena and Medellin but any sighting of them in Ecuador?

The Tall Man.[/QUOTE]In May, I met a few Venezuelan women in Cuenca. At the time, someone told me there were 30,000 Venezuelans living in Cuenca and hundreds were arriving every week. I asked the women why they traveled across Colombia to come to Ecuador and the answer was that Ecuador uses the USD. All of those women had joined relatives / boyfriends and about half were bringing in other relatives later this year. 3 of 8 spoke conversational English and another knew some basic English. No prepagos. 5 waitresses, 1 hotel assistant, 1 street vendor and 1 call center employee. Most Ecuadorans were not happy to have the Venezuelans there, but the business people loved the cheap labor.

I was on a humanitarian trip, so prepagos/chongos were not on the agenda. I was told that many Venezuelans will work for 2-4 weeks at a job and then the Ecuadoran boss will tell them that there is no pay. Those being paid are making a half or less than the Ecuadorans. Considering their need for money, I am guessing that many of the Venezuelans in Ecuador are available.

I also met a few others at a local hole in the wall bar and took one back to my man cave, she had been in Medellin for a month and I was the first gringo she had ever been with.

I am in contact with both of these chicas. Real girls just hit by bad luck!

The Tall Man.

I am in Quito today and part of tomorrow. Then to Banos for a few days then back to Quito. Hopefully I will have something to report.

My trip to Quito was short and marred by a series of delayed flights and by altitude related symptoms. By the time I acclimated, it was time to leave. Despite the odds, played the cards I was dealt and had a good time in Quito. Although I didn't get to sample everything on my list but after everything was said and done, I met all the girls on my list except two!

Arrival at UIO:

Arrived at UIO on a seriously delayed flight and didn't make it to my hotel room until almost 2:30 AM. Despite being at the front of the plane and beating the slow crowd to the immigration line, the line was already long due to other flights that must have arrived just before ours.

The lady immigration office was very nice and welcoming -no entry fee and was through the customs in few minutes.

Transport:

After a very long day, I was in no mood to save few $ on transportation and hopped in the first official taxi upon exiting the terminal.

Any plans and backup plans that I had to meet someone at the original anticipated arrival time at hotel of around 1:00 AM were out of the window. I was pissed but so it was. It was a quiet ride through empty but modern highway and streets of Quito. At the traffic lights saw the women in traditional dresses approaching cars and selling smoke and snacks Later on found that to a common phenomena throughout the day.

The driver, an older gentlemen tried to strike up a conversation and we chatted a bit about my plans as he was trying to offer his driving services. I took his number but didn't promise anything as I already had a planned tour with a local agency.

As the taxi approached Plaza Foch, saw several SWs on the corners -so maybe there was hope after all hahaha but I was so f'and exhausted and starving for food that I didn't put much thought into pursuing any SWs at that hour. There were also large numbers of police personnel on street corners. The cab ride cost me $25.

Hotel:

I was booked in Reina Isabel based on the recommendations on this forum. The front desk guy spoke good English, gave me an upgraded corner room on 8th floor on the quieter backside of the building. I was happy with the spacious room and the view however hotel is a bit dated and lacks few modern amenities, such as -no air conditioning, no fridge in room, no power outlets next to the bed, temperamental shower controls as in too hot or too cold, flushing issues etc.

On the positive side, this is probably the only hotel so far that I have seen in Latin America with a fully functional gym. Ironically due to my physical condition with altitude sickness, using a gym was out of question.

The dining area for breakfast is nice -it was included in the rate and they can make you eggs per your order. You have to pay extra for the coca tea though.

The location of the hotel is spot on, I walked to Habanos and Vibracions etc without any problems even late at night. There are lots of restaurants, bars, clubs etc around the 2-3 block radius. The only time I took taxi was to visit casas or historic center.

Next time (if there is one) I recommend Hotel Amazona that is literally attached to Reina Isabel -for my last day (10 AM to 9 PM) I paid $15! The nightly rate is around $24 including breakfast. Hotel has hot water and WiFi.

There is a fully stocked convenience store next to these two hotels that I used to stock up on water and snacks etc. Reina Isabel was price gouging by selling a small water bottle for $2. Besides free breakfast I didn't have any other meals in the hotel.

Altitude downer:

Although I didn't have the 'runny' episode that WT69 had but it seems I got hit hard by altitude as Tom Jackin did! Right after leaving the airport I was feeling shortness of breath. Despite taking the precautions such as no alcohol, drinking plenty of water, light meals etc, I was down for at least first 48 hours. I had bad headache, random dizziness and I felt like my movements were rather in slow motion -as in I felt like laboring to move my hands and legs. It is hard to describe as I had never experienced this before. This really wasted almost two days as I didn't even feel like going out at night except on a recon mission to locate Habanos and Vibracion (which I could see my from my hotel room!

Chicas:

The main reason I had contacted two ladies for my first night was due to the fact that they were willing to come to Reina Isabel around 1 AM. Since my first night was a total waste, I didn't contact them for remainder of my time in the city.

Day 1:

After bad night of short sleep and late breakfast, started contacting the chicas and casas on my priority list. It only took few messages to schedule someone come over at 1 PM. Her stage name was Deborah although during introduction when she walked in the room, she let slip her real name haha. I'd rate her at 7 but her attitude and service were 10. Around $70 for 1. 5 hour of non rushed girlfriend like experience. She made me come twice in that time which I wasn't expecting. At no time did she fiddle with her phone or looked uncomfortable. Deborah was in her early 20's, slim with small boobs as I like them, shy at first but a tigress when in heat. I still have her scratch marks on my back as unwanted souvenir haha.

She came across as part time and claimed she is a school teacher by profession and it was the last week of schools being on summer break. I didn't feel like she was lying. As I had a long list of girls, I didn't ask for her personal number or expected a repeat visit.

After a nice nooner, I went around the block for lunch. I thought I was starting to feel better but I was wrong. After a ho hum lunch, walked back to hotel and caught up with some work.

Around 9 PM, went back out, had dinner at restaurant across the side entrance of Reina Isabel. Walked around Plaza Foch, started to feel a little bit better after some walk and fresh air and decided to sample Habanos.

If you passed by Habanos, you wouldn't know what lies behind and upstairs from a mini garage sort of entrance. There is a $3 entry fee that you can use towards a drink upstairs. Passport is a must to get in. I had factored that in and for this trip packed my 6 years old expired passport as I didn't want to be walking in night clubs with my current passport. So those who are worried about this detail, take some old expired passport with you. The guy just opens the picture page and flashes it to the security camera that's installed there. That's it -he is not looking at the expiration date or Ecuador entry stamp.

After the 'grueling' entry process, passport examination and what not hahaha went upstairs to a sight we all love, strobe lights, smoky air, sight of female flesh, smell of cheap perfume and loud obnoxious music-what's not to love? Before I could even orient myself and let my pupils adjust to the lights, was attacked by couple of chicas with 'hola amor, que tal'{ Meaning?}.

As you walk up the stairs, the bar is to the right, middle is pole dancing area and across the hall there is another smaller bar area and bathroom right next to it. On the other side of this small bar, there are stairs going up where the rooms are. See pics.

After shaking off the two girls proceeded to the bar and got a beer. There was some good talent ranging from 5-8 scale, some flacas, couple fake boobs and couple obnoxious gorditas. The chicas age range seemed to be anywhere from 19 to 30. I struck up a conversation with a bleached blonde girl at the bar sitting alone with nerdy glasses -she had good attitude and wasn't f'and around on her phone as couple of girls were doing that the entire time I was there.

Turned out the fake blonde named Gia is a paisa from Cali. She is 29 and has a good body with natural breasts. She was rubbing my crotch and nibbling my ear urging me to go upstairs. I feign ignorance and say 'en serio tiene habitacion aqui?{ Meaning?} She explains to me the whole system haha and it matched my understanding of the process before I had walked in the door. The going rate is $21 for 15-20 minutes. The rooms are clean, with a bathroom inside but I don't recall seeing toilet paper or shower. This is more of a wham bam thank you ma'm kinda deal that comes with it's own set of complications. In her case she was very passionate, DFK, DATY but CBJ -but it was enough to get me going and gave me an excellent finish in RCG. She was genuinely into it, offered me her whatsapp number and offered to have me contact her for TLN situation but I wasn't interested in repeat meeting as my list was too long and there were several doable chicas for $21 in the casa! She asked for propina and I parted with another $5.

Went downstairs, chatted with another girl who was 6 feet in her very high heels and she must have been the youngest in the house. See pic.

Ah, forgot to mention, from the bar looking across the room, on the left side is the Jacuzzi room where the girls offers some sort of show I suppose but I am little too jaded for such shenanigans. However I did see a group of guys go in there with couple of girls. So just in case that jingles your bells, give it a shot.

Overall I found the other guys there to be shy and keeping to themselves, huddled on couches and not really pursuing the pussy around! It was almost as if the girls had to cajole the guys into making any move.

Just as I was about to head out, there comes this chica in black bodysuit with an ass that was made to be tapped 'perrito' style and hers was hanging out in all its glory! See pic. More on tapping that ass later.

Decided to call it a night, went downstairs, shook hands with the security guys and walked back to the hotel.

Day 1 in the books and despite late flights and feeling crappy due to altitude, felt like a million dollar at midnight while walking back to hotel.

Day 2:

Pretty much the same start as the previous day -breakfast around 9 AM and sent couple of messages to line something up for late morning. Physically I was still under the altitude spell! It took few messages to set something up for 11 AM appointment at a casa. It turned out that it wasn't a casa but rather a hotel where the chica meets you once you confirm you have arrived at the hotel. I must say that the hotel was nice and wouldn't be a bad choice for full time stay if it weren't little farther from the main grid.

This time I am meeting 19 year old girl whose online pictures were little more flattering than she actually was but again her attitude was awesome. See pic. I can't remember exactly but it was $60 for an hour un-rushed girlfriend experience that started with mutual shower and ended up with another one. Bless me.

After a relaxing start of the afternoon, tried to make a 30 minute walk back to the hotel but again started feeling dizziness and ended up taking a cab back to the hotel. The cab ride each way was around $1. 70 with the meter.

Ended up taking a nap, caught up on some work calls and decided to sample Vibracion later in the night.

After a light dinner at a middle eastern restaurant, walked to Vibracion. Same drill with the passport as at Habanos. Much to my dismay, the talent pool at Vibracion was nothing to write home about. Couple of bored chicas fiddling with their phones and the two that did try to chat me up were 5 on the scale at best. One was cuban and the other was a little chunky paisa. There was a group of local guys dancing with couple girls that weren't that striking either. I finished my drink and after some small talk with the Cubana, headed to Habanos.

Habanos was kicking again tonight. I saw a couple of new faces and immediately engaged a light skinned tight bodied Ecuatoriana named Anai who had an awesome attitude. She was not pushy at all -bought her a drink ($3 or $4) and chatted with her on the couch. She looked stunning in her body hugging dress and it was hard to tell she was a mommy. She was giving me an instant boner so to speak haha and we wasted no time in heading upstairs. I had a great time with her and it was nice coming hard missionary while DFKing. I'd have liked to have her as TLN option but she has strict family obligations and only works 7-11 PM if I understood her correctly. All in all a great time and didn't nag me for propina which was cool -gave her $10 and headed back downstairs.

Until this point I hadn't seen the heavenly ass that I was hoping to tap and just as I turned around after ordering a drink, there she was coming out of the dressing room! I wasted no time in motioning her over and struck up a conversation. She makes a note of that the other night I didn't talk to her haha. I said "no tena ni mas leche"{ Meaning?} and she giggled. This girl whose name skips my memory, is nice but is all business as she wants to go upstairs as soon as she can drag anyone with her. This was a bit of a turn off but I wanted to sample that magic behind of hers. So off we go upstairs -as soon as we walk in the door, she goes on the edge of the bed on all fours and started rubbing her fine ass on my crotch. I wasted no time in putting the condom on to start ramming that fine piece of ass. This girl despite being all business, no kissing, no foreplay, could take a hard pounding like a champ. It took me a while to get to the finish line as I just had an awesome session with Anai but the sight of pounding that fine ass was enough to get me to the finish line within our 20 min time limit haha.

She didn't ask for propina, gave her $5 and headed back down and out after calling it a night.

Day 3:

Today was the day to take care of touristy part of the trip. Again, since this is not a national geographic forum I won't bore you with the details but it was very nice to first hand see why Quito was selected as the first UNESCO world heritage site.

At lunch, went through my task list and lined up Valerie to meet me at hotel around 7 PM as I had been drooling on pics of her ample boobs for last couple days. However this may have been the only be&S case during this trip. The deal was the same, $60 for an hour -the girl that showed up was nice (see pic) and provided the services as promised but wasn't the one whom I had asked for. I didn't make a big deal out of it and went with the flow. The girl was shy in bed but open to letting me explore her mammary glands to the fullest haha.

After a long day of walking and still not feeling 100% physically, ended up staying in for the night except for a short stroll for dinner around the block.

Day 4:

This was my last day in Quito and my departing flight was very late in the evening. I had another day of touristy stuff planned. I talked to the reservation desk but they didn't offer a discounted rate if I were to keep the room until leaving for airport later in the evening. I checked out and walked next door to Amazona hotel, negotiated $15 for the day to have a place to crash and refresh after coming back from the day trip and clean up before leaving for airport. Next time I just may full time stay at this hotel for $24 that includes wifi, hot water and breakfast.

My tour guide picked me up and we headed for another episode of Lonely Planet Ecuador edition.

Got back to hotel around 6 PM and as the previous day had plans to meet a Venezuelan girl that was working out of Hotel Rick's a few blocks walking distance from Reina Isabel. I don't recall her name but she was very particular about screening as she had me stand at a particular spot across the street from her hotel room and had me tell her what I was wearing etc. Only then she gave me the room number. She had an awesome set of breasts and ass but was little business like and wanted to go straight to CBJ. Things started out slowly due to lack of foreplay but once she got me hard it was game on. I had her sit on top to enjoy her lovely set of tits and finished doggie style pounding that fine ass. I think it was $40 for the hour, not a bad deal.

It turned out she was closer to the middle eastern restaurant I had previously been to -stopped by there for a Shawarma and headed back to my hotel.

There was still about two hours until my taxi driver was to come pick me up so what's a man to do when there is plenty of pussy waiting just around the corner hahaha -ok Habaanos here I come again (and literally so too).

I wanted the last shot on the goal to be a memorable one and was hoping to see Gia or Anai in the house and there was Anai, all smiling, coming over and welcoming, We had a drink and headed upstairs for my last hurrah in Quito.

Summary:

1. Despite the altitude related symptoms, I had a great time in Quito both in the tourist and chicas department.

2. I found the chica choices to be abundant and overwhelming. There are dozens of casas in and around of north of Quito a short and cheap cab ride away. The supply is at the levels of I experienced in SS. If you work off the local ads, you pay what the locals are accustomed to I. E. No gringo tax.

3. The going price is anywhere from $25-70 an hour or longer excluding the rip off ads and joints strictly hoping to reel in unsuspecting or ignorant accidental tourist.

4. If you shop like the locals do, you get the bang for your buck. You can use Habanos as a sort of FKK - $3 entry + 21 x3 for three chicas + tips = roughly $80 for few hours of entertainment or $100 with some extra chica drinks.

5. There is an unlimited supply of hotels around Reina Isabel priced between $17-$30 including wifi and breakfast. I no longer see Reina as a value play. I'd advise maybe booking Reina for first night and then find a better deal the next day if you plan to stay in Quito longer than couple days. Note that most of such smaller local hotels are not on google map.

6. I found the people to be very polite. Didn't see a single a-hole character either at Habanos or Vibracions. Same goes for cabbies that were polite and generally used the meter and if at all tried to overcharge by a $1 or $2 if not using meter.

7. Someone asked if there is an influx of Venezuelan chicas -the day I was in historic center, there was a massive protest in front of the presidential palace. My guide told me the protest was against the influx of Venezuelans. So that should answer the question about presence of Venezuelans. Also just look at skokka and other online ads -no shortage of Venezuelan chicas and going rate is generally cheaper in the $40 range per hour.

8. The two girls I didn't get to see that were on my list was a Cubana and one girl from a legit massage spa (Jireth) that offered tantra massage. On Skokka search 'Jireth' (spa) and look for the girl with short hair, black shirt and gray jeans. I'd still like to meet her!

Just didn't have enough time to get everyone on my list in two days! Oh well.

I had more problems managing, editing, uploading photos than the report itself! Here are some more that didn't make it into the original report.

[/QUOTE]Great review, thanks!

One question, you recommend the Amazona but I found a small but highly ranked hotel called Yellow House, which is a 4 minute walk away from Amazona / Reina and it costs USD 26 per night. It has glowing reviews on Tripadvisor but it is a small place (20 rooms) run by a German woman and her daughter, so my only worry is that it might not be girl-friendly. Front desk is manned 24-hours.

I have seen a quote that "many hotels are girl-friendly" but are would you think all hotels / hostels in Quito are girl-friendly?

I'm going to be in Quito for a little over a week in early October, and your report has given me two places (Habanos and Vibracion) to visit while I'm in the city. I'll keep the expired passport suggestion in mind, too.

Regarding the altitude sickness, that is very common if you ascend to high locations like Quito, Bogota, and Cusco. For those cities at high altitudes, look into a prescription medication called Diamox. You take the medication about two days before you arrive at the high location and then for the first couple of days while you're in the city. Basically (explained to me by a doctor), it causes your blood to become more acidic which causes you to breathe faster which results in more oxygen making it into your bloodstream and preventing the altitude sickness. I used it for Bogota and Cusco and it worked like a charm. The only side effect that I had was that carbonated beverages (Coke Zero, Pepsi, etc) tasted nasty while I was on the medication, with the nasty taste ending after I finished the Diamox.

I'll mention my planned trip to Quito in the travel announcements section of the Ecuador forum. Again, thanks for you awesome and detailed report and pictures.

Hey Quagmire1974 and others who have PM'd me -thanks for the positive feedback. That's why the forum is here for so we can help each other out and avoid the pitfalls in a foreign land. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. The tour guide I used who works for a gringo agency also freelances and I have his contact number if you want it. You can compare rates and negotiate with him. He said the slow season is coming and he expected a dip in business. Whatever you do, do make a trip to La Compania in historic center -one of the most opulent gold draped man made structures I have ever seen!

I did talk to my doctor about Diamox and decided against it since I was going for short time and one of the side effects was heart palpitations. I am stickler about my resting heart rate -curse the apple watch data driven approach haha and I said I'll just suck it up for couple days and that's what ended up happening. I'd say that I didn't have the nausea symptom -just random headache, dizziness and over all lethargy.

MrDurden -I am sorry I can't speak for every hotel in Quito if they are chica friendly or not but what I have started doing recently is to book a hotel for one night only if I am not sure if I'd like it or if they are chica friendly and once you are on the ground you will know for sure. You can always ask at check in, don't be ashamed. Worst case all chicas know short term hotels and there a dozens of those all over Quito.

Thanks again Frankfurt!

By the way, if you do a google search of Viagra + altitude + sickness, there are a number of articles saying Viagra can help!

Thanks again Frankfurt!

I've been times this year to Quito, and both times at The Reina Isabel. As I'm on a business trip my company take care of the hotel, but each time I had girls visiting me without any problems at the reception.

I see you get some some good girls, do you mind sharing some contacts, 'cause I will be back in Quito beginning of 2019.

From reading the forum here I thought you needed to bring a passport and show it (and they show it to camera) but that you just show it.

I went to club 122 today a bit after noon and the guard on the door wanted to hold my passport and give it back when I left. I said No Gracias and took it back. (and he said como quieres).

Is this how it always works or is it a new rule (or a guard trying to pull one over on me)?

Thanks.

A few places will hang on to your passport, until you leave.

Club 122 does.

Some places will hold your cell phone also.

I was in Quito for a few days before my trip to MDE. I found an agency and used it for 2 girls. The agency is called novias de aquilar the whatsapp number is +593 99 565 0003. I saw Caroline 18, she gave nice GFE but CBJ. I did not feel any connection so did not see her again. The next day I saw Nataly 25, wow fell in love with this one. VERY GFE, but CBJ. Saw her for 2 hrs ($60/1 HR, $80/2 hrs) and then wanted a guide that I could fuck, so I had her for 12 hrs on the next 2 days (10 am to 10 pm). We went around the city and then after dinner went back to the hotel (Reina Isabel) for 2 or 3 hours of very GFE fun. I am more into the connection with a girl rather than going to a casa and shooting my load. So this report my not be too helpful. The agency owner speaks English in the texts messages. She has about 6-8 girls to pick from.
