*Takes big beath* passed through Lima back in 2011 Pizza Street fuckin terrible hookers Galore sweaty clubs impossible to night game because of how loud the music is and it's terrible. food excellent very cheap to live. Pisco and sours will sneak up on you real fast. Super approachable girls if you have any kind of game the mall in front of the Marriott has a place called mangos as mentioned before the food was great there's another place there called Lavaca a little more fancy but still even more delicious Saw a Movie in the movie theater below still at the mall haha then partied at the mall right in front of the Marriott casino at a place called bartini didn't get poppin until 11:30 but there are a ton of college girls all wanting to dance and if you're drunk enough you'll be able to. at least that was the story with me. Just found these forums about 3 months ago currently studying abroad in Florianopolis Brazil have already posted my 3 week update with more data sheets with research to come looking to head to Peru again plainly because the food was excellent the wine was excellent it was super cheap and with more time on my hands get another flag. At the time I went I had terrible Spanish but still got plenty of looks with no effort got to the club early bought the bartender some drinks with mine I made friends with the security so if I got too wasted which I did they wouldn't be too mad at me. But I would say with basic Spanish it be literally fish in a barrel I'm from Texas so I love Latinas regardless of their skin tone and can look past a lot of euro beauty standards since I am a gringo myself I like what I am not if that makes sense. when passing through i had a fantastic time this time I have more knowledge more game and just under conversational Spanish so I'm sure I'll have an even better time. The information about Mira Flores is right but it has been almost 6 years since I've been and things do change. Looking to head up there in December sometime and then make a trip to Colombia afterwards once I'm warmed up with some easier watering holes.

Just pulled this out of another thread: "If you are white, beginner, you can easily kill here, you don`t need game, many girls will be so easy"
Kind of looks like Davao maybe better.

And another:

"All Latins know that the cutiest girls are the Brazilians and Colombians. The ugly and last place is for Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. Despite of that, Peru should be one of the easiest places for whites to pick up. The quality is bad, but some are decent looking and easy. In Peru, you don't need game, some girls come to you, all love whites. For that reason, i recommend Peru if you are a beginner and wants to bang most of the time. If you have a good game, really good appareance, Brazil and Colombia are waiting for you."

So yeah Peru is where I am headed. As I was thinking. It IS extremely easy. I made the right choice I will have a flight straight there from US just 10 days after I get home there. I can play around with Lima a while and just venture north to Colombia and the others after a while. But the extremely easy girls, perfect temperature, the aprox 70 degree temps I am dying to have daily instead of sultry Philippines, the cost of living/accommodation even the visa policy is the easiest! Apart from the looks of the girls that everyone complains about, all things about it make it THE paradise. Its all perfect for me like as if god created Peru with me in mind!

Peru may become my new home base with the rest of the countries being supplemental enjoyment.

Whats your deal with wanting really easy women?? You are going to be very disappointed if you think Lima is some sort of paradise. The women you will meet in Lima that will be easy will be hitting you up for money for everything, they wont be attractive and will just be plain nasty all round. Lima is nothing like the Philippines or Dominican republic. The only reason these women are acting so hot for you is that they are dirt poor, have no job and are as desperate as fuck at a chance of a better life.

Well, I actually have literally changed tune big time in the last little while. I have been making comparisons with Santo Domingo and not Lima for a reason. I am starting to feel that going to Santo Domingo will be much better.
It is kind of looking like I already switched to that and junked Peru. Lthough a lot of people have first hand experiences leading to info saying how the women are really easy, at least if you will take the so called ugly natives. I will at least try it out myself. I will not be disappointed by anything. I can only be one place at a time anyways so if I dont like Peru I go to the next one. There are so many countries and I will find my sweet spot somewhere out there.

There are a few people that downplay Peru but it may turn out to be that Peru sucks for most people, but is a pussy paradise for anyone that is ok with the looks that scares away most of the men and gets the women easily.

Ever rooshv, the very owner of this whole site made a comment about Per saying "if she is ugly it is basically guaranteed action" which basically means the natives that the people dont find beautiful I know that if there is definitely something goin on there, but only if you change your tastes to accept girls regardless of their ethnicity.

Any helpful tips for approaching peruanas? Would you just approach them in english at first, then use your basic spanish knowledge to fill in the gaps? Also, how does staying in a hostel affect sex possibilities? How hard is it to get yourself to the girls place? I'll be checking out the clubs in lima and cusco that are mentioned in Roosh's travel guide. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

If you are staying at a hostel then you are pretty much destined to focus on the demographic that would sleep with gringos from hostels - the trashier, poorer girls who think that any white guy is a gift from heaven. Peru is full of these and on an evolutionary level they are being pretty rational, they really need to work on their looks and body structures. These girls are ready to bang any gringo that smiles to them and takes them out for a meal.

Scrambled well that has been my experience, perhaps because I am not "white" (many Peruvians think I am a Brazilian tourist) and I am not loaded with cash (not a broke backpacker but not throwing money around either. I would say I am a medium budget traveller).

In general I have not been treated well by the local people from Cusco.

People from Cusco in general do not treat anybody well. Your whiteness has nothing to do with it. They are hard, mountain people, who are very limited in their knowledge about anything because they just have not been anywhere else. What do you expect?

People from the Andes in general are rougher and less friendly or trusting. They have been brought up in a hasher environment and it has shaped them. This does not mean that a smile and some friendly words cannot open some doors.

NovaVirtue I do not appreciate you trashing my game. You know nothing about me. How long have you actually spent in Cusco and when was this? I do not like guys talking out of their ass. Slutty Bricheras have long since vanished from Cusco in my opion. In nearly 3 weeks in Cusco I have only seen three foreigners walking around with Peruvian girls and who even knows if those girls were from Cusco or if they both came together from another city (e.g. Lima) to Cusco for a vacation. As for respect being earned, I have made heaps of contributions to Rooshv since I joined. Just look at the solid and detailed data I added to the the datasheet on Sydney (my home city). I recomended and commented on specific venues for daygame and nightgame and the nightgame atmosphere generally. You really need to think long and hard when you come in here and insult guys who make legitimate first hand on the ground critiscims of a location. ROOSHV is not some feel good b.s. Anthony Robins website. Guys come here because they want straight up real knowledge of how things really are rather than rose tinted feel good b.s.

I never said guys cannot get laid in Cusco now, I just said it is not easy. Anybody who right this moment comes to Cusco and says it is an easy place to get laid is in my opinion full of shit. Actually read the negative comments of other posters who RECENTLY ACTUALLY SPENT TIME IN CUSCO. And please tell what value have you actually added to the forum? Novavirtue, did you actually ever get laid in Cusco (and I do not mean with a girl you brought with you from another city)? If the answer is no then please Shut the fuck up about it being easy to get laid in Cusco and stop insulting my game.

Read what Drix (a Peruvian wrote) and also Scrambled who was recently (or still is) in Cusco wrote they both had a similar opinion to mine. Also I have met many foreign guys in Cusco none of them got laid in Cusco (excluding the two expats who have been living here for years and are currently in LTRs).

Novavirtue I bet if you come down to Cusco now for a week you will not be able to fuck a "slutty brichera" (the girl has to be a least a 5 or it does not count). It makes me angry when guys talk out of their ass.

People from the Andes are less sexual, their women are very ugly, probably the ugliest in the world. I do not know why would anyone like to get laid with a girl who has short legs, flat ass, flat tits, and a face worthy to be an extra for a Lord of the Rings movie.

Does anybody else ever get tired of the whole nothing ever works properly, shit customer service and everyone trying to rip you off in Peru? And for some reason it doesn't where you go in Cusco food is always served luke warm and so are drinks which are meant to be hot. Also things which are meant to be cold are often room temperature (e.g. coca-cola). Peruvians do not seem to understand the concept of customer service. Also in Cusco hardly any taxi drivers speak Englis, they do not have a GPS or even google maps (they have cheapo mobiles) and have terrible knowledge of the city, so half the time they get lost when ypu want to go aomewhere which is not a well known main road. Also even in a lot of hostels, tourist restaurants and tour agencies nobody speaks English. Seriously, WTF.

Cusco has a couple of places that offer quality service - the 5 star hotels such as Belmond (they have 2) and Marriott. If you want service go there. You cannot go to a cheap hostel and expect to be treated like a king.

Cusco people are not great at service, I agree with you. But then again, which poorly educated stupid villager is great at customer service? I am quite certain that it is exactly the same in Australia and the US.

By the way everyone just two examples to add to my point before that Cusco is only cheap if you want to accept low Peruvian standards. I walked into 2 supposedly 5 star hotels in Cusco (both within 10 minutes walk of Plaza De Aramas) and they were both small local hotels that I doubt would be what foreigners would consider 5 star and asked for the price out of curiosity for a basic room for 1 night. Note: we are no longer in peak tourist season for Cusco. One was $250 USD for the basic room and the other was $400 USD for a basic room. In many similar sized (i.e. small) anglo cities you could probably find a 4 star hotel of equivalent quality for the same price.

Now if you want a private hostel room with a private bathroom you are looking at 50 or 60 soles minimum (15 to 18 USD). What you will get for this is a shower that only half works, no hooks to hang your jackets, no heater, no alarm clock, often the bedroom will have no electrical sockets (only in the bathroom), only unbearably shit free channels on TV, a bed where the blankets have not been washed for a week or possibly longer. If breakfast is included it will be mediocre.

Like I said Cusco is cheap if you are willing to accept the low Peruvian standards for everything. If you want something that is at a foreigner standard its not much cheaper than an anglo country.

There are 5 star hotels and 5 star hotels. The two Belmond hotels are very nice, so is the Marriott. USD 270 - USD 500 per room per night depending on your bargaining know how.

Peru is full of these and on an evolutionary level they are being pretty rational, they really need to work on their looks and body structures. These girls are ready to bang any gringo that smiles to them and takes them out for a meal.

Well this is why I am looking at staying in the vast expanses of Lima outside of the tourist area, where tons of people live and yet in many cases they only have hostals or hospedajes, budget accomodation. They probably wont judge you for staying at the only thing that is available! In Philippines there were far more expensive places available and mine often had no aircon and still they never judged me. so when huge parts of Lima seemingly only have hospedajes or hostals and no issue with having heat from non air rooms, even far less reason for them to be judgmental. Once they got there, they just went along with it.

Any time someone says to not stay here because it wont work, I will not believe it before I go try myself. Peru is probably not much different from Philippiines in terms of how they judge where you have checked in. Here the place never mattered. As long as they are not sweating from lack of AC, it never ever mattered where I stayed. As long as it was accessible, they went. So this is exactly what I will do once I go to Lima. Maybe not TOO close to a particular chick, but stay much closer that the other gringos. I think that if you are the closest gringo to most girls, you will at an advantage that leads to meets more easily, quick and frequently. Once in Peru, heat is no longer an issue.

A proposito, these flies in Manila are driving me insane. Mosquitos same. I think the dry desert climate in Lima eradicates all the annoying life forms that pisses me off in the humid Philippines. In that desert, we may be almost the only creatures living around! Cant wait to get away from those annoying house flies and mosquitos that are always touching me here!!!

Whenever I went on day trips, treks, etc and we ended up in some village for breakfast lunch or dinner and the food was made by villagers, the food was damn good!

Just had a dream that I already arrived in Peru and someone in the dream asked "can you give me 50 soles" Seems like my mind is already getting set on moving back there!

I just thought of something from when I was in latin america. Most foreigners for them the problem is not knowing enough Spanish. For me it is the complete opposite!

My spelling (ortografia) skills are so developed that not only do my latin friends compliment me about it, but also I have been the one correcting them!

Anyone else notice that typical latinos mix up the letter "s" with "c" and "j" with "g"? Also "b" and "v" mix up also makes bad Spanish. I embarrassed them once in their store in Colombia when I first started noticing bad ortografia in Colombia when they wrote on the sign "targeta" instead of he proper "tarjeta" And a lot of the other locals do the same thing. When I was in eastern Peru, the grammar of the locals was a total disaster. I am warning anyone if they wanna learn Spanish, don't do it in the Amazon. They don't even know the grammar themselves so it won't do you any good either.

Also I am having even a harder time figuring out what country to go to and DR is the culprit! It is so enticing to go there, but it is separate from the rest of the countries and hot and costs more. Peru is right beside Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia and easy access to Venezuela!
Someone pls help me pick a country!!!!!

If I settle with Peru which is probably what will happen, I will head down to Bolivia rather promptly and report back on how Bolivia is. Every hospedaje I stayed in Peru before had EXCELLENT wifi service for free. Even in the Amazon it was better 3 years ago than what I get now in Manila! So my access when I get there should be better than what I have now. This pocket wifi the condo owner gave me in Manila is utter basura.

I went out tonight to run some nightgame in Cusco tonight. Any pub/bar/lounge type place (as opposed to noisy dance club where you won 't get hassled to buy drinks but your ear drums will get blasted with loud crappy music) will generally hasle you every 5 minutes to buy drinks until you get cranky and leave. The exceptions to this are the few bars owned by foreigners. For example I went on a few seperate occasions to an Irish pub owned by Irish expats to chat up some tourist girls and never got hassled once to buy drinks. Its always a breath of fresh in Cusco when you go to a business owned by expats and do not have to deal with the rude arrogant locals.

Typical backwards Cusquenian business owners (or their also uneducated staff) who are too retarded to understand how to run a business or provide good customer service (useless muppets who would be bankrupt in most countries) thinks its okay to harrass people every 5 minutes to buy their overpriced drinks (same price as drinks in Anglo countries) and get annoyed if you don't and sometimes ask you to leave (happened to me a few times). I walked into a venue (I was the only foreigner there) that was mostly empty (because the owner was a muppet) and sat down to listen to the live music (the only place so far in Cusco where the band was tolerable). Within thirty seconds of sitting down a waitress came with a drinks menu and asked me if I wanted anything. I politely declined with a "no, gracias".

30 seconds later than owner comes up to me (he does not speak a word of English despite his bar being in Plaza De Armas) and starts immediately yelling at me (because I did not buy something straight away) in Spanish and grabs my arm to escort me out the door while yelling the whole time and proceeds (I only partially understood him) to insult me (and foreigners in general) in Spanish and escorts me not just out of the venue (which is upstairs in a building) but onto the street and continues yelling on the street. He also proceeds to yell at some random drug dealer loittering on the street. Meanwhile I just gave him (bar owner) the middle finger and walked off. The guy was short and weak and is lucky I did not break his fucking nose. I was really tempted to punch him in the face.

One thing for a business owner to politely ask somebody to leave their venue (even if his reasons are retarded) but its another thing for him to verbally insult me and start pushing me for no good reason. He is lucky I am calm guy who tries to stay out of trouble. One day the useless fuck will do the same shit to the wrong (possibly drunk) foreigner and end up in hospital.

In general the anti-foreigner sentiment in Cusco is very intense. Whenever I visited other places in Peru so far, the reception I got from locals was mostly warm. In Cusco however its a completely different story. Expect to be hated on by the locals if you are a foreigner here. I experience hate, rudeness, indifference, scaming and "gringo pricing" from the locals on a daily basis in Cusco. The locals in Cusco should be thankful we tourists provide their ungrateful, uneducated, useless, backward asses with a living.

Up to this day I still have this stuck in my head and remember so well. In the bus terminal in Cuzco there are many bus companies going to Lima via Abancay and you hear the man yell "A lima Lima Lima. Abancay Abancay A Lima Lima Lima....." Then on the bus, street vendors of mandarins and peanuts come to the bus saying "mandarina mandarina mandarina, mani mani mandarina mandarina mandarina". Its funny lol. I took it 2 times so I already got used to it! Anyone else took the bus from Cuzco and hear them say this?

Yes I went to Cuzco muself but only stayed a couple days. I only went to it a couple days and through it to go to the Amazon nearby so I don't know how life is in Cuzco and never will because I still see how crap the place is!

And they harass you on the plaza to buy their $h!T! The place is meant to be there for us to sit and enjoy the place, not get all you can view offers of things to buy. They only ruin it because foreiners are there in big numbers. I gave him a bad attitude. after that, he probably thought, why is this americano here to vacation and tour here if he is so snubby!
Well I would not be if all you stupid vendedores were not here to do this!

And to inform you, I am one of those kinds of people who would not have left that club owner calmly. If he is hostile like that I will be at least as hostile in return. That's how I am. But at the beginning maybe it would have worked better if you said in Spanish "Mirare a ver" "I will look and see" That should shut them up while you enjoy inside a while. I was at Inka Team/Mama africa area and they had the salsa dance thing. They were totally unlike the muppet owner you just saw. They welcome you with free dance practice. You can serve yourself a drink at your own free will. Zero pressure at all! Are these owned by foreiners or locals?

Yeah, same thing, when I was on the bus from Puno to Cusco nearly every stop vendors would get on the bus and try and peddle their junk.

Actually I was also at Mama Africa (venue bouncing around all night) tonight. Within 15 minutes of being there I got asked 3 times if I wanted anything. Then I got angry and left.

I did see some ugly Peruvian guys who could dance well look like they were hooking up with mediocre (5 or 6) foreign girls at Mama Africa

The vendors at Plaza De Armas are not that bad compared to the beggars who won't leave. Mutiple times I was sitting at Plaza De Armas talking to a girl (daygame) when a smelly deranged beggar comes up to us and starts harassing us for money. We both say no, but he or she keeps babbling and staring at us for 3 or 4 minutes while we are talking and ignoring him/her until I finally ejected from the conversation with the girl and left due to the disruption/annoyance. This happened to me a number of times. I have no problem with people begging but if I say no they should walk away not keep annoying the fuck out of me until I leave.

And don't even get me started on the ubiquitous but useless traffic police in Cusco. Many times I have been crossing a green pedestrian light in Cusco where a traffic cop is standing in the middle of the road while a car just swerves in front of me nearly running me over while the useless traffic cop just watches and does not do anything. Maybe they could fire all the traffic police (and also the normal police who just stand around in a big group blowing their whistle at tourists who walk on the grass at Plaza De Armas) in Cusco and use the money to have bins for garbage collection rather than everybody leaving plastic bags of rubbish on the street to picked over and ripped apart by the tens of thousands of feral dogs in Cusco.

You must be familiar with the goat women!!

These stupid women pose with their goats in their arms and aproach foreiners to try to get them to pay to take photos of it!!
May be cute if you are on some farm somewhere and see an old woman with a sheep. But when you are in the city and they are on the streets with their goats aproaching to try to force pics, it aint cute at all! But stupid gringos probably give in to the goat and pay them money for the nonesense pic with the women that posed with the same goat in front of hoards of gringos already!!

Or is it a baby sheep? Cant remember!

We both are also in a similar situation, stuck annoyed in cities that we did not know were going to suck, but commited and can't leave right away. You are stuck in a city with a commitment to the language thing. Meanwhile I never knew that Manila was going to suck like this, but already spent my money on rent so I gotta stay till its done! And I am waiting until my rent in Manila finishes so I can finally move on, to Peru and Colombia where better stuff awaits me.

btw, I can confirm I have chosen Peru. Meanwhile as I am getting flooded by interest by DR, I am still choosing to skip it, at least for now! I think I will be dropping in there maybe later in the summer next year. But I commit to south america at least for starters.

One lesson I learned from this is make sure you test a city for at least a week before commiting to it for a longer period.

Like English there are literally a million ways to say something. And the context was for if you dont have the menu yet of course because Australia sucks rejected the menu and my suggestion was for accepting to receive it.

I'll take a look and see. It's a casual way, one of many ways.

Ever heard them use the term echar un vistazo? Its another way to say you will take a look at something.

Mirare = I'll look
a ver = let's see/I'll take a look.

There should be an accent on the last letter e in Mirare.
Once you become an expert in Spanish you will see the myriad of ways to say 1 same thing, just like you can in English.

Cogon, are you seriously not liking Manila? Are you just using the dating sites? Or day gaming as well?

I have a hard time believing anywhere in South America is better than the Philippines for meeting girls.

I mean, I'm getting 3x the action I was getting in China, and with better looking / much younger girls.

Maybe you should reconsider your approach before throwing in the towel.

Once you become an expert in Spanish: I've spent several years in Spanish-speaking countries, so, parce, have a guess at my level of expertise in this language

Anyway, back to your: " "Miraré a ver""... if it were, "Mirare... A ver...", I would be ok with it. But, you do have to pause between Mirare, and A ver... the way you wrote it, it seemed that the sentence was continuous.

(By the way, if Australia-sucks rejected the menu, which was an impulsive, not useful move, then you are right, he had to say something else. Example: "Estoy esperando a alguien, dame un minuto")

So you sit down in a bar, listen to the music and basically tell the staff you are not gonna order anything? Then you freak out because they want to make you leave (the owner's reaction was probably over the top, but who knows?) ? Seriously...

You should not take it personally. People from the Andes in general are mentally challenged. They are rude to everyone.

You should abstain from physical violence in Peru in general because their men are cowards - if you knock somebody out then you can be certain that you run the risk of being approached by a gang of 20 who will probably try to attack you from behind. Their mentality is very sly. Just like gypsies, they only attack in groups.

There are many ugly locals hanging around the Plaza de Armas trying to score with insecure western tourist girls who cannot get a boyfriend back at home. It is a win win situation - the locals feel like men by being with a white foreign girl (they are deeply insecure in their manhood), the tourist girls finally get some mediocre action (how would they know what is mediocre and what isnt).
