Thanks again David! Senorita #2
Wow, I had another great time today with Senorita #2! Petite in stature, pretty face with bronze colored skin, she was quite talkative and very interesting to chat with. In bed she was a quite aggressive and to the point! She really knew how to make a man happy! Highly recommended and I will surely repeat again! Hollywood.
Hello David and members of the Lima, Peru board!
I am here visiting Lima for a few days in which I do on a yearly basis. I also visit try to Asuncion, Paraguay and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
For several years now David has kindly taken time to set me up with his girlfriends who are struggling university students in order to help them with their studies. All have treated me very well and I only had one mix-up in which the lady had an emergency. I always tell David to not worry should one of his friends cancel or not show up. I can always take a bus to the Uni Centro Mall and then take a taxi to Cucardas or Trocadero since I have never visited either one. I have never had the need to go there as I have been always busy with David's girlfriends.
For those Newbies to Lima, after touch down at LIM (Jorge Chavez International) you get in line for your immigration stamp. It can get very crowded as it seems all flights arrive at the same time just after mid-night. After you go through immigration you pick up your bags from the carrousel then get in line for the X-ray machine. Give your Declarations form to the officer and after the X-ray machine you pick up your bags and then you go straight out the doors. Reminder not to rent a cellphone from the young ladies of the rental company nor buy a SIM card at the Claro Kiosk as both charge tremendously high prices. Buy your SIM card in town at the Claro office for 8 Soles. I purchased my SIM card at the Claro office on Larco in Miraflores the other day but the Activation system was down and it took a day-and-a-half to Activate. Also bring an unlocked, 4 band cellphone which you can buy cheaply on [URL]Amazon.com[/URL] so you won't have to buy a phone here.
If you do not have any Peruvian, Soles I suggest that you use a Debit card from one of the Investment Brokers like E Trade, Fidelity or Charles Schwab as they return all fees and taxes and withdrawal the Soles from an ATM at the airport. You also can exchange Dollars at one of the Cambios. The Dollar was getting 3 Soles Pervian to 1 USD in most of the Cambios I passed in Miraflores today.
If you do not have transportation, ignore the independent taxis and go straight to the Green Taxi service called "Taxi Green" and pay at the kiosk almost at the exit door to your right. The cost was 50 Soles to Miraflores. The costs are posted on the board there.
From LIM airport we went to several sides streets in neighborhoods which did not look too safe. Finally we met the sea road and it was smooth sailing to Miraflores. It took about 30 minutes. Remember when going back there may be horrendous traffic so I usually leave myself about 3 hours before flight time. You also have to get in line to Check-in, then go through Immigration and finally through Security so 3 hours is about right in my opinion.
Staying at one of the apartments is better if you are staying more than a few days and you don't have to go through your hotel's security to bring your lady friend to your room. It is more economical also depending where you stay.
There are many places to meet ladies, read back maybe one year's posts to get a good idea of what is trending. David_33 also helps members with introductions. He does not get anything out of this, just helping his girlfriends and members on this board. Thanks again David for your help, I really appreciate you setting me up over the years. Hollywood.
Dickhead hasn't a clue #2!
Thanks to Tiny12 and all the others who have email me! Yes, agreed, Dickhead does not know what he is talking about! Dickhead was not even there! Maria / Aurora on the AP (Argentine Private) board got caught with her pants down so-to-speak when she tried to scam several members. I was the first to complain about her and now she has her Minions Flaming me. I also understand that all Dickhead does is start Flaming Wars from the email I received.
Hey, Dickhead, I would like to continue discussing this matter with you. How about if we meet soon over some beers? Please send me your personal data so we can meet!
Thanks, Hollywood.

LIM Trip Report: Jan 20-23
I just got back from a 4 night trip to Lima and thought to share my experiences. My trip reports are geared towards first time visitors by offering info that may be helpful.
Prelude:
In my quest to go to every South American country and with Lima being high on my list, I decided to do a short visit. Previously in South America, I had been to Buenos Aires and Bogota as far as capital cities go. Previous tentative trips to Lima had fallen through for various reasons, but all the stars aligned this time and I was able to do my first trip to Peru.
About Me:
I'm in late 40's, speak passable Spanish, and tend to blend in well (dark hair, darker skin). I prefer the simple, girl next door look in the "7" rating scale. I don't like high mileage places but prefer freelancers, or "semi-pros". I'm not a budget traveler, nor am I a "high roller". I don't travel to monger, but rather enjoy female "companionship" when I do travel. When I travel to a new place, I am just as much interested in doing regular tourist things as finding girls. Additionally, I travel for excitement and to see and experience new things and if that conflicts with keeping a strict schedule for girl encounters, so be it. Although I don't consider myself to be picky, I have a "type" that I am attracted to and find chemistry with the girl to be an important prerequisite for a satisfactory experience. I'm providing this information for readers to understand my perspective of LIM and the rest of my trip report.
Preparation:
In preparing for this trip, I RTFF going back 3 years and used useful information that was given. In addition, I came across several local forums that gave updated "feet on the ground" type of information. Although in Spanish, I found it relatively easy to open in Google Chrome and use the "translate" function and I found to be very valuable with regards to various girls and establishments. The local forums are listed at the end of my report.
Currency:
The Peruvian currency is the "Nuevo Sole" and during my visit, I was able to get 3 soles for $1 USD. The official currency exchangers that are located on the other side of Parque Kennedy were more willing to give me the 3 to 1 exchange, but the ones right at the end of Pizza Alley were quoting loweraround 2. 94-2. 97 Soles per $1 USD. The paper currency comes in 10,20, 50,100, and 200 Soles. Soles of 1, 2, and 5 were in coin format so be careful in what coins you are using.
Apparently there is a large counterfeit currency issue in Peru, but fortunately, I did not experience any issues with the currency I received from the official exchangers.
Airport / Immigration / Customs:
My flight arrived at 12:30 am and I understand that there are several late international flights arriving at the same time. However, I was able to get through immigration and customs pretty quickly.
Taxis:
From the forum, I knew that I should be looking for "Taxi Verde" (Green taxi) as a secure way to get from airport to Miraflores. When I exited the airport, a taxi driver that had an I'd saying "Taxi Green" came up to me and asked if I wanted a ride. I asked him how much and he said $20 USD. I went with him in a nondescript car (no "Taxi" sign anywhere) but there was a decal in the right lower corner of the windshield that looked "official". So I got in and he drove me, but I never prepaid at a booth, but rather gave him the money when we arrived at the apartment. I'm still not sure if this was the real "taxi verde", but it doesn't sound like it. Also, like others have said, the ride from the airport to Miraflores can be through some isolated and sketchy parts, especially in the middle of the night and when going through the "Costa Verde" route, but he got me to the apartment without any incidents. On my return home, I called for a taxi to go to the airport and was charged 45 Soles.
Taxis in Lima come in all shapes and forms and there have been reports of taxi drivers robbing passengers. I always sit in the front and try to look for an older driver when I pick up taxis off the street.
Lodging:
I inquired with ApartmentClubPeru as to whether they had a daily rate and was told that minimum rental was for 1 week. Since I was only going to be in Lima for 4 nights, I found a great apartment through AirBNB, which was in a safe neighborhood and 1 block from Pizza Alley and Parque Kennedy. It's ideal for low key, discrete individuals. If interested in the exact apartment, PM me.
Food:
Peruvian food has flavor and Lima is well known for its food diversity. TomJackin posted a good report regarding the food in Lima which is in the ROD. I mostly ate at various restaurants in Pizza Alley (which has more than just Pizza), and although I am no food critic, I thought the food was pretty good. I also ventured out to a local food market area and braved eating at one of the restaurants where the locals were eating. The food was delicious for a fraction of the cost of what is charged at Pizza Alley.
Weather:
Because Peru lies below the equator, January was "summer" with temps in the 70's during the day and low 60's at night. It was slightly humid and that may explain why I was a little cool at night, even though I am normally warm blooded.
Venues:
-Tequila Rock (Miraflores).
In RTFF, I realized that TR was going to be full of hardcore Colombianas and although I love Colombianas, I never had a good experience with one that worked in another country. On the other hand, I do prefer freelancer venues and TR is famous in Lima, so I decided to check it out. 40 soles entrance includes 1 drink. Good nightclub atmosphere, but no one that caught my attention.
I wonder if there are Peruvian freelancers at the other TRs?
-Pizza Alley / Parque Kennedy.
Although according to the forum, there are quite a bit of working girls in Pizza Alley and Parque Kennedy, I didn't really see any obvious ones. The few girls alone or in small groups that were obviously just wandering around, would look away when I made eye contact. There was one that was my type, but again didn't keep eye contact.
-Las Cucardas ([URL]http://www.lascucardasnightclub.com[/URL]).
One of three places that although really not my type of place, I wanted to check out. 37 soles entry includes a condom and 1 "ticket" to enter room. Overheard girls asking for 80 soles. Read in the forum that a second "ticket" would cost only 20 soles. It really wasn't a bad environment and I saw some cute girls, but also high volume girls. I read in the forum that there is a 3rd level with a bar, but I forgot to look and saw 2 bar areas with poles where some of the girls would dance. 15 soles for beer. According to waiter and taxi driver, all Colombianas, but there were a few that I thought could be Dominicanas. I went around 7 pm one evening, but it's open during daytime hours also with a change of shift around 6 pm (18 soles in taxi to go there and 25 soles to get back).
I forgot to stop in and check out the club next door (La Nenas?
-El Trocadero.
Again, just went to check out for curiosity. 15 soles to enter. Didn't ask for my cell phone and in fact, saw several using their phones inside. Lots of guys. Saw some attractive girls. Pretty much as described on this forum, but interestingly, the corridor with the better lighting seemed to also have the less attractive girls. 10 soles for taxi from La Punta area where I hung out for a few hours earlier and arrived around 5:30 pm. Not sure what time it opens.
-El Botecito.
Next door to Trocadero and 10 soles to enter. Less crowded and seemed cleaner, but also much hotter inside. Didn't see anything of interest. 25 soles taxi back to Miraflores.
Tourist Stuff:
Mira bus tour: [URL]http://www.mirabusperu.com/[/URL] They have different types of tours and I did the Lima day tour for 70 soles and which took about 3+ hours. It was nothing great, but it got me around Lima so I could see some things, but more importantly helped me get my bearings.
LarcoMar is an outdoor shopping mall that sits on the cliff / hillside overlooking the beach and ocean. It was 6 soles each way in a taxi from Pizza Alley. It's something to do during the day--eat lunch, people watch, and look out over the ocean.
La Punta is another area that looks over the ocean in the "Callao" district. The beaches seemed to be less rocky than those in Miraflores. I wasn't dressed for the beach so I just walked around. Very laid back and good restaurants. A good place to go earlier in the day to kill some time before heading to Trocadero, which was 10 soles by taxi from La Punta.
Miscellaneous:
[URL]www.limasensual.net[/URL]
I used this escort sight and was pleased with the girls. When I called to inquire, most sounded very sweet and was very patient with my limited Spanish skills. I can't comment on any "bait and switch" since their faces on the website are blurred out, but I didn't have the need to send anyone away when they showed up. Interestingly, when I called and wanted them to come to my apartment if they did outcalls ("salidas") some would only go to a hotel, either the one they work out of or, one that I would need to get. Prices varied some based on the "levels" as shown on the website.
[URL]http://www.vanuncios.com/zona/9/peru/105/lima-metropolitana/categoria/18/contactos/50/escorts-kinesiologas[/URL]
This is a Craigslist type of listing, which I tried calling without connecting with any.
Local forums:

I find local forums to be very useful although it takes some effort. The above are ones that I came across and has reviews of girls including escort websites, strip clubs, and even the high volume brothels listed above. The Perutops site has an English section.

I had planned to go this club. On their website, there is a printable coupon for a "Pase de Cortesia" (you will need to go to the "Shows" link and look at the thumbnails which will open up a popup that can be printed). I assumed it was for a free entry and I had printed it and wanted to use it, but forgot to take with me on my trip. I think the cover without it is 80 soles so I didn't go.
Conclusion:
I loved Lima and have a desire to go back and explore more of Lima and Peru, including the Machu Picchu side trip. In comparison to Buenos Aires, I saw more girls that were my type in 4 days than I did in 2 weeks in BA. In comparison to Bogota, the city seemed "warmer" and the girls also seemed to be more of my preferences (although I saw plenty of my type in Cartagena and Cali). Peru had a large influx of Asians in its history (I think Chinese and Japanese), and this, along with the indigenous Indians and the Spanish makes the variety of girls in Lima extensive in terms of facial and body features.
Although I get to check off Peru on my bucket list, I certainly will be going back.
