[QUOTE=Jockey16;2391502]Hi Folks, Sometime ago, after David's problem exploded, there was a freezing effect in the forum; ....PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES! Later.[/QUOTE]Jockey16 - I am one of those who headed for the hills. Even now I use a double spoof just to get on this specific forum (Peru). David was a good friend despite his complications.

I have a couple of questions as I am likely heading back there soon. 1) Are they still shy about accepting $100 bills and new (unmarked) $20 are still the best way; and 2) I hear prices at 69 had gone berserk very recently. Have you any intel on that?

Thanks.

[QUOTE=Loso69;2380594]Reading old reports about the Pizza Alley streetwalker scene and the freelancer disco, it seems like Lima was once a great place to be. These days, Miraflores has pretty much been cleaned up. Lince is being targeted as well. Soon, there'll be nothing left but those darn nightclubs with fancy brochures that the multitude of touts likes sticking under your nose. Or the legal brothels, if you like to slum it, but that's not my style.

Loso[/QUOTE]This is lining up with everything I have been hearing from my contacts. I really hope you are wrong but the whole decline started when the Venecas began arriving circa 2014 - trouble ensued, police involved, politicians looking for votes. I hope it turns around. Lima is a fabulous place.

Do you think they would spend all that money just because Venezuelans came? Usually when there is an influx of refugees to a place it gets worse, not better. But you are saying that because it got better, it IS worse.

But that made the once lenient local authorities react and the map of the P 4 P business is changing. New low-cost brothels are appearing everywhere (away from Miraflores) offering, mostly, Venezuelan girls.

Action in Miraflores has been reduced but is still there, although the prices have gone a bit higher. Most of the action moved to Lince but the authorities pressure means it is always changing and there is not an established specific zone yet.

The new "hot" zone is now in Independencia and Los Olivos, In the vicinity of MegaPlaza mall but that is way too far for tourists and is mostly aimed at the local market.

The only alternatives left for those who want higher girl-quality levels seem to be the "caletas" and the ad pages, with the risk of bait-and-switch they involve.

Polvo.[/QUOTE]I was there in January and $100 bills were no problem. It was nice to just put the bill in the slot and then get your soles back pronto. In Colombia it is a pain to change money. They even take a finger print and make you sign a form. After all that you get a lousy exchange rate. In Lima the rate was very good. When I go back I will bring more $100 bills instead of ATM cards.

[QUOTE=JohnGault;2423312]I was there in January and $100 bills were no problem.

I always thought it was best to exchange money with the people around town with the green vests on.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2423323]What places are you talking about where you put money into a slot? I always thought it was best to exchange money with the people around town with the green vests on.[/QUOTE]That is in the past, thanks again to the Venezuelans.

Since the Venezuelan invasion, armed assaults against the "cambistas" increased exponentially and several [I]cambistas[/I] were killed. So many local governments (Miraflores and San Isidro amongst them) banned the money exchange on the street. As a result, most money exchange is done at "casas de cambio" and there are lots and lots of [I]casas de cambio[/I] all around Miraflores, San Isidro and every district where the [I]cambistas[/I] have been banned. At a [I]casa de cambio[/I] you find the [I]cambista[/I] (most probably the same guy that used to work on the street) behind a bullet-proof glass with a small slot where you put your dollars and get your soles.

You can still find [I]cambistas[/I] on the street in Lince and some other districts but more people is getting used to the [I]casa de cambio[/I] every day, since the rate is the same (especially if the [I]cambistas[/I] are not banned from the streets) and they are perceived as safer.

Hi Polvo,

It is good to hear from you again!

As John G. Described, it is ok to bring $100 bills, up to $10,000 I believe, before you have to disclose it at the airport.
If you are staying for a while, it is better you open a local acct at a bank, with a "no charge once a month attention at the counter", and make a significant deposit. Then you can use their Debit card to withdraw you money at any time you want without any charges, otherwise the regular ATM withdraws are limited to $400 and they charge you about $5 for ea withdraw.

The forum has suffered a mix of reactions but finally I believe things are back to normal again, regarding David and possible consequences to those who knew him, so I hope we'll be "seeing" you and sharing your experiences.

Prices at the 69 and similar spots 9 are way high, but offer and demand usually sets the going rates.

The old bait and switch and same old, same old mechanical, pro hit-and-run. Never go away.

Hope you have a nice time on your return to Lima!!

Later.

Just changed 10 of them at the airport last night for 3.16 soles per usd, I thought it would be higher. Only here a short time so valued the convenience.

Enjoying las chicas de Lima, more later.

[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2423323]What places are you talking about where you put money into a slot?

As far as those green vest money changers I only saw a few near the movie house at the end of Parke Kennedy.

Casinos usually give you the best rate.

Now at 3. 37.

Just keep away from the tables and you are ok.

Later.

Thanks for that Jack.

I think somewhere on the North Coast seems to be the best option.

There's a direct flight from Santiago to Trujillo on JetSmart (Flight from Australia goes to Santiago), and I'm still to explore Puira and Sulliana.

Though I did read about how scam-happy Tumbes is, hopefully, that is the only town like that up there.

Otherwise, it will be a town / city between Chimbote and Lima where Lima is in easy reach, although a 180 degree bus cama isn't too expensive either from further north.

[QUOTE=JackJericho;2422560]It all comes to your definition of "small town". Cuzco Tacna and Arequipa, as well as Chiclayo and Pucallpa, are among the 10 biggest cities (other than Lima) in Peru.

If for "small town" we mean "less than 100,000 inhabitants", I'd had to say the best are Huaral (chongo [I]Las Visitadoras[/I]), Barranca (chongo [I]El Totoral[/I]) and maybe Ilo (chongo [I]El Escorpion[/I]) although it is not that good.

If we go for "less than 200,000 inhabitants" We'd have to add Huacho (chongo [I]El Manzano[/I]), and Pisco (chongos [I]Villa Hermosa[/I] and [I]Sauce Blanco[/I], both next to each other).

But if we settle for just "other than Lima" I'd had to say Trujillo; there is [I]El Milagro[/I] and [I]El Quinto Patio[/I] (sharing the same parking lot as [I]El Botecito[/I] and [I]El Trocadero[/I] in Callao), there is [I]Baha Rosa[/I] and [I]Pantaleon[/I] in the same quality level of [I]Las Sirenitas[/I] in Lima and very close (half an hour by car) in the minuscule town of Laredo there is the new [I]Kamasutra VIP[/I]. Then there is Chiclayo with [I]Las Poncianas[/I], Tacna with [I]Las Sirenitas[/I] and [I]Las Cucardas[/I] and Piura with [I]El Siete[/I], [I]El Siete y Medio[/I] and [I]La Colmena[/I], in that order.

Forget Arequipa. There is no legal brothel in Arequipa so the only chongos there are small, dirty and very low quality, illegal joints. Guys must travel to the nearby cities of Pedregal, Camana or Mollendo to find a low-quality but legally established small chongo. There are good chongos in Cuzco, Puno, Cajamarca and Huancayo too, but those are high altitude cities (a hard call for your hearth and your lungs to enjoy a chongo at an altitude of 9,000 feet or higher), and their chongos are not as good as the ones in Trujillo, Chiclayo or Tacna.

Of course, good, regular or bad is all a matter of perception and I've not traveled to all and every city in Peru, but this in my opinion based on the places I've visited at least once.

[QUOTE=Polvo;2423049]What is the deal with the Brazilians coming in an doubling their prices? Are they all refugees from Help?[/QUOTE]I saw 1 Brazilian girl at Las Sirenitas in Los Olivos. She looked more so like a black girl. I heard her speaking Portuguese. She was just standing around talking to Security. Probably waiting.

For her shift to start. She was fine with a fat juicy ass. I got excited but, I didn't have much juice left as I Got rocked by a hot Venezuelan there! Those Venezuelan girls still got that passion! If Los Olivos wasn't so far, I would have came back for the same Venezuelan girl at least 3 times! I did have a hot session with another Venezuelan at the Troc too!
