16 days & nights in Lima!
First off, just to warn the readers, this was not my typical mongering trip. I wanted to be immersed in Spanish and I made plans accordingly. I only hit a couple of the monger venues and will share my thoughts on those. I did complete the research in case my Plan A went to hell in a handbasket! Thus, no face in the ass pictures. So I apologize up front for the lack of photos and not reporting on several monger venues, but if you want to continue reading; you had fair warning.
Logistics:
Flight:
I flew AA round trip from San Diego for $1250 and some change. 3 hours to Dallas and another 6. 5 to Lima.
Logging:
I rented a 3-bedroom penthouse apartment in a great location, on Malecon Balta, in Miraflores. I rented through Airbnb. It was 3 blocks from Wong, and another block to Parque Kennedy. It was off season and the apartment was only 105 bucks each night. There was 24 hour security and I had no problems bringing different women into the place. Whenever I returned to the apartment, I always bought some food for the security dudes; they took great care of me!
Money:
The currency in Peru is Sol. The rate was about 1 US dollar to 3. 19 soles. I used the ATM at the airport to have cash on hand. The following day, I cashed in a bunch of dollars at the Interbank close to my place. The bills were all different colors and I did not have any problems figuring out the exchange rate. The coins were a tad confusing because of the sizes. For example, the 2 and 5 coins are smaller than the 1 sole coin. There were many places that did not accept Master Card, but Visa cards were accepted everywhere.
Duty Free:
There is a Duty Free at the airport in Lima. I was told I could bring in 4 bottles of alcohol, thus; I bought 4 bottles. BTW, the girls seem to love Baileys; so stock up!
Sim Card:
Bought my Sim card from Claro for a lousy 8 soles. I added 40 soles for minutes and still have plenty left after the trip. Texting and calling are a must for hooking up with others!
Transportation:
From the airport and back, I used Taxidatum; each trip was $20. Green taxi is a plenty at the airport and they are a tad cheaper, if that is important to you. Taxis were dirt cheap in Lima. 5 to 10 soles can get you pretty much anywhere, including San Isidro, Lince, and Barranco. I used all types of cabs and never had any issues.
Spanish school:
I returned to the Spanish school Peruwayna. I took classes from 3-6 pm, Monday through Friday, for two weeks. I paid for 30 classes, which came out to be just over 10 US per hour. My maestro was great! Peruwayna also took my Visa card for the payment. Every day before class, I ate lunch at Manolo. The place is famous for its churros. Each day, I bought churros for the teachers and staff; simple gestures go a long way.
Miraflores:
What a great district! The place had a great vide, from the streets, to Locomar Mall, to Parque Kennedy. It was one of the safest cities I have been to in a while. But in August, there was very little sun to be found. The temperature ranged from 60 to 65 degrees, which seems nice, but the humidity was very high, so it felt a lot colder. I only needed a light jacket.
Food & Drinks:
The food was incredible! My favorite dishes were Ali de Gallina, Lomo Saltado, Rocoto Relleno, and the various Empanadas. My favorite drink was the Pisco Sour! I had at least a couple hundred of those damn things; the drink has a serious kick to it! The locals seem to love Inca Kola & Chicha Morada.
I ate and drank at a butt load of restaurants:
Tanta.
Haiti.
La Bonbonniere.
Manolo. Daily lunch.
La Lucha Sangucheria.
Pardos. Pollo a la Brasa.
Don Belisario. Pollo a la Brasa.
El Cascajal. Buffet and local show.
Rustica in Barrarco. Buffet and band.
Every meal I had was either great or pretty damn good!
The Women:
Because the trip was to focus on Spanish, I contacted several women on Latin American Cupid. The ones I contacted had no English speaking skills. This does take time and a lot of effort. Two of the three women I met online, we had conversations on Skype prior to my arrival. The women were all in their mid-thirty's. Out of the three women I met, two of them ended up in my apartment for rack operations. The third one that didn't work out because she did not past the belly test, yep, her belly put mine to shame! I guess that is why she only sent me upper body pictures!
MissK:
MissK is someone that others can use as a travel companion. She speaks English and is pretty to boot. She also has many bisexual friends and can / will organize sex parties; I know this for a fact because MissK and two of her friends partied with me for several hours. Did I mention, "Damn, I wish I was younger. " I met with MissK on two other evenings just one-on-one. She is a lot of fun and is highly recommended.
Monger Venues:
The Old Pub:
On Calle Pizza was I place that I checked-out almost every night. There were at least 1-3 working girls in the place every night, 4-6 on Friday / Saturday night. I asked a few girls what they were charging for 2-3 hours, they all started at 400 soles. I did not negotiate because I already had my fill, but I asked to provide information on this board.
Tequila Rocks:
I went there at least twice, once on a Friday night, the other on a Saturday night, about 12:30 each night. The entrance fee was 40 soles. I have to admit, there was a bunch of hooties in the club each night. I interviewed at least 6 of them for the cost for 2-3 hours. I guess they have a fucking union, because they all quoted me 500 soles. Once again, I did not negotiate because I already had my fill, but I asked to provide information on this board.
Conclusion:
I really liked Lima. The people were friendly and the food was great! Miraflores is a wonderful district and is a place I would like to return next year. I was only in Barrarco for a short while, I would like to explore that district a bit more. As well as checking out some monger venues. I will return!
Thanks for the review Tom!
[QUOTE=MissK;1768844]Thanks for the nice words, Tom. I'm happy that you had a good time in Lima. Hope to see you again soon.[/QUOTE]His review makes me want to hurry back!
Lima visit early September
I recently returned from a trip to Peru that including a few days stopover in Lima. Before leaving, I read the last few months of the forum in regard to a suggested location to rent an apartment. The forum responded quickly and was a great help in suggesting a location.
I ended up renting a condo in a high rise building on Ave 28 De Julio across from Tanta Restaurant. It was 2 to 3 blocks from anything you could need. Supermarkets, banks, gym, etc. I rented a unit on an upper floor with balcony views of the Pacific. The building had 24 hour security and a full service laundry on the first floor of the building. Only thing I would have done differently would be to request a unit facing away from the street. That would have been quieter. Even on an upper floor there always seemed to be some street noise.
I brought a unlocked smart phone and purchased a SIM card from the Movistar company store on my arrival. Most of my communications were via texts.
A friend set me up with introductions to four of his friends. They all found their way to my apartment without any problems and there were no issues with building access. Sometimes the ladies would come directly up to my door, other times the building doorman would call up first to make sure I was expecting a guest.
I kept the refrigerator fully stocked with beverages, food, chocolates which I shared with all of my guests as set spent time getting to know each other.
I speak some Spanish and can carry on limited conversations in Spanish which was helpful to as some of the ladies did not speak a lot of English.
A bit about the four Senoritas.
Senorita 1 Miss "L" energetic lady with a very pretty face who spoke excellent English. We probably spent 2 hours chatting over vino and chocolate while getting to know each other. She was firmly in the "BI" camp and was happy to share travel tips on her favorite restaurants and sites in the city. Just wish I had the time to take her up on her generous offer to accompany me to some of these spots!
Senorita 2 Miss "L" #2 - cute petite lady who had recently graduated from college and was now preparing to study for a graduate degree.
Senorita 3 Miss "A" Curvey and attractive. She was working on establishing a modeling career for swimwear and clothing and shared one of her modeling photos with me.
Senorita Miss "D" another cutey. Asian as well as Peruvian Heritage. A new mother who is juggling a very busy schedule taking care of her young son. She gave me a great massage.
I had a wonderful time with each of these ladies and would definitely revisit any of them on a return trip.
An added bonus to visiting in early September was attending the annual Mistura food festival which was going on during my visit. It is a huge food fair (largest in South America) set up along the ocean on Circuito de Playas. There was something like 175 restaurants from around the country that has set up small kitchens and were offering up 2 or 3 of their best known dishes for a prices of between 8 and 13 soles. It was a great way to sample food from the entire country all in one location.

Lima visit September 12nd
I was in Lima last week for work. I stayed at the Hilton Double tree in Mirafloris. The hotel is Guest friendly, the guest just needs to show ID.
Work kept me quite busy but on one day I was able to contact Miss K from this board with a View to using her services to showing me around and introducing me to her friends.
In the end we connected and had a few drinks and decided to spend the rest of the evening exploring each other in my hotel room.
For those people who are Spanish challanged she is a must. She is great to speak to and is good great company and is pretty to look at.
I won't go into detail as to what we got up to, except to say if I had more time I would of spent longer with her.
Hopefully I will be able to do that on a trip later in the year where she has promised to set up a few fantasies of mine.
Her service is top class, so don't be afraid, if you are in town contact her.
