Iīm in Aguas Calientes today. I went to Machu Picchu today and it was awesome. Iīm with my Colombian novia. Lima has to be one of the most underrated cities in South America. It is beautiful in the parts I visited! Miraflores is great and very clean. Also, the historic center has to be the most beautiful area in all of South America. I was supposed to come back to the USA on Wednesday but I just extended and will stay until the following Monday.
I discovered that a model hot 20 year old is fun to be with but as I thought before I went..what kind of serious relationship can you have with a 20 year old with no education that canīt speak English? It gets old after a while. Iīm still havenīt lots of fun but I managed to sneak out the other night in Lima.
Holy sh&t! I found a club called Emmanuelle. Iīm sure someone posted on it before but I didnīt really print anything and I didnīt read too many posts as I like to do my own thing. I went to Pizza Alley and there were lots of girls but none that I found too attractive. I asked what the best place in town was to a few guys and they all said Emmanuelle so I took a taxi there. There were LOTS of hotties. Itīs not cheap though. 50 NS entrance fee. $100 US for the girl for two hours. And itīs another 120 NS (3.45 to $1 us) exit fee! The girls wonīt budge on the price even if you only ask for one hour. I talked to many many many. There are lots of hotties.
There are even these two identical twins here and the shows alone are worth going for. I sessioned with this model hot girl. She was so wild and started making out in the club. I told her I wanted more time to decide she she stuck her hands in my pants and started rubbing me right there! It was hard to say no to her after that. Needless to say I left with her. In the taxi in the way home we were going at it hard and heavy and she wanted to start right there in the taxi!! I am NOT kidding. She was VERY good and a VERY good BBBJ and the works. Be careful. She didnīt bring a condom with her and she told me I didnīt have to use one if I didnīt want to. Of course she told me she never does this and only is because she is into me. Come on....Iīm not naive. Be careful.
I heard there is another high end club there and Iīll try it when I go back to Lima on Wednesday. Iīm in Aguas Calientes tonight then tomorrow back to Cuzco. Depending if I can sneak around in Cuzco Iīll get some action there too.
Life is good.
P.S. I didnīt take any medicine. I did get a huge headache the first morning in Cuzco. I took some tea that everyone talked about and it seemed to help a little. I got a worse headache the next morning and drank some more tea and took some aspirin and it seemed to alleviate it.
By Godfather on Wednesday, April 21, 2004 - 08:51 am: Edit |
A dude on WSG recommended Suites of Barranco but said it was double the price of Emmanuelle. Here is what I posted on WSG-- I remember you mentioned Suites of Barranco before. I might try it although the other club all the girls mentioned that was good wasnīt that one but I canīt remember the name. I think Iīll probably stick with Emmanuelle because there were plenty of hot girls. I left with a Peruana named ĻMonicaĻ. She was a brunette with C cup breasts and a perfect body. She had some blonde highlights.
I donīt want to pay prices at Suits of Barranco if I can pay $150 US for two hours for a hottie at Emmanuelle. Who knows I might even try to do the identical twins as that has been a fantasy of mine.
I find the food in nice restaurants is expensive though. I went to one right on the ocean and the views were GREAT but it wasnīt cheap. I also took them to Hotel Dolfines for drinks and breakfast one day so they could see the dolphins this hotel has near the restaurant. Easy to drop a lot of money here at nice places. The shopping mall they have built on the side of the cliffs called Larco Mar has beautiful views and there are tons of hotties at night. During the day I donīt see too many beautiful girls on the streets but they are all out on weekend nights.
Hopefully I have some good luck. Iīm still in Aguas Calientes and I would recommend people skip it and just head back to Cuzco as others suggested after going to Machu Picchu. There is nothing in this town but restaurants, internet cafes and shops. Good luck.

I am back in Lima as of now. I am headed to go eat. Thank God this is the last night with my girl. I told her in the beginning of the trip it was NOT going to work out after I saw that she was looking for something I could not give her. I guess Im not cut out for the serious relationship stuff. Oh well. A lesson learned after wasting $3,000. Ouch. Some dude from WSG told me he owns some club so Im planning on hitting it on Friday and seeing how it is. I will probably head back to Emanuelle tonight. I dont think I can go wrong there.

Hey GF, thanks for taking the time to post. I might do what you're doing with my Colombiana, I've always wanted to go to Machu Picchu. Is it fairly easy to get your Colombiana a visa to Peru?
I'm also curious about what the girls look like in Peru. It appears to be a bit expensive, but if the girl is hot, she maybe worth it. Hope you post some pics.
By Marcopolo on Thursday, April 22, 2004 - 01:53 am: Edit |
Gf; great info of yours. as long as you had a good time, that's all that count!!!!
By Godfather on Thursday, April 22, 2004 - 09:23 am: Edit |
Hey guys, thanks to the guys that emailed me telling me they admired what I did. Yeah, that is a lot of money to spend but if a guy is serious about geting to know a girl you MUST invest not only time but money to find out. She is a great girl and probably one of the hottest girls in Colombia but I donīt have anything in common with her. It was a damn romantic trip though. Iīll post some photos I took of the scenery when I get back. It still was a dream vacation as I always wanted to go to Machu Picchu. Iīll post details about the places I stayed, airline info, train info, prices, etc. when I return to the USA on Monday.
The great thing is Colombianos donīt need a visa to come to Peru. Thatīs one of the reasons I invited her. The ticket was around $500 each from Cali to Lima on fairly short notice. Airport taxes in Cali and Peru add on another $90 or so. Then add in flights from Lima to Cuzco and the Vistadome train ride from Cuzco to Aguas Calientes. All this shit adds up. Still..it was worth it to find out. I was working on getting my girl a visa to go to Cancun, Aruba or somewhere else romantic for July for 12 days but now I donīt have to worry about it. Iīll probably travel around Colombia during that time.
Here is a post I posted on another board. Iīll cut and paste it here. Good luck guys.
ima Busy,
Yes. That is the restaurant I went to and you are right. The prices are as expensive as in NYC. I took a friend from Lima, my girl and her brother. Iīm a little embarrassed to post what the total was. The funny thing about Colombians is even the ones from poor families seem to know how to order the most expensive thing on the menu!!! Letīs just say the dinner bill was a few hundred dollars with appetizers, entrees, drinks and dessert.
Larco Mar is awesome! The views during the day and at night are awesome! I also went to that restaurant you posted on as well as one called Mango in the mall on the cliff overlooking the ocean. Get an outdoor patio seat as the views are breaktaking. The prices arenīt too bad there.
Lima is a huge cosmopolitan city. Itīs hard to compare Buenos Aires to Lima. Lima of course has a more latin american feeling to it. I spend most of my time in Recoleta in Buenos Aires. If I lived here I would spend most of my time in Miraflores or San Isidro. I inquired on the cost of renting one of those oceanview apartments near Marco Lar. I was surprised it was only around $500 or $600 a month which would make it cheaper than Buenos Aires for a similar type apartment.
Some annoying things here are the taxis have no meters so you have to ALWAYS negotiate ahead of time or ask them. Most are honest but late at night if you donīt ask some will try to con you. Last night a taxi tried charging me 20 Soles from San Isidro to Miraflores. I refused to pay it and he lowered it to 13 Soles which is the same as I payed the other night, which was probably an inflated price.
Tons of places to stay here at affordable prices. They have 5 star hotels to nice hostels. Iīm trying to stay in more of the hostel type places this trip and Iīm surprised to see that some are quite nice with comfortable beds and pillows and also are really charming.
It would take 100 pages to discuss my situation with my Colombian novia that I flew in. Long story short I broke up with her mid-way through the trip when I knew nothing serious was possible. Iīm totally at fault in this situation. I flew her and her brother to another country which they have never done. I talked to her on the phone every night, sent her flowers, etc. This trip was more of wanting to find out if anything is possible. She didnīt understand when I told her that nothing was possible. Also, it doesnīt help things that she was a virgin.
She tried several nights to come over to my room and I wonīt go into the details. Oh well. Lesson learned. Like I said before...hard to have any long lasting long term relationship with someone much younger from a different culture.
Ok...for some good information for you perverts. After we had our farewell dinner we walked around and talked some and I think she better understood things. I took them back to the hotel and I changed and showered and hit Pizza Alley again. Iīm telling you that most guys that are looking for quality will NOT find it here. Iīm picky and wouldnīt touch any of those girls for free. Iīm serious.
I was going to go back to Emanuelle but decided to put my researcher hat on and try out a new club. I went to a place called Eclipse Club located at Augusto Tamayo N. 158 in San Isidro. The phone number there is 440-4913. This place ainīt cheap either. 80 Soles entrance fee which covers 3 drinks. Iīm not a drinker so it was a huge price to pay. You can get 3 beers or 2 hard drinks for that.
I went fairly early at 11 PM. There were only a maximum of 20 girls. I hate using a # system since we are all different but most girls were 6 and 7īs with a few 8īs scattered in but not many. I was going to drink my 3 drinks then go to Emanuelle but I watched a few shows since the girls strip completely naked. I was the only guy in there until midnight. There were only a max of about 4 other guys.
I talked to one of the girls and she had a pretty face and a decent body. By this point it I thought I might as well pull her out. There is a 3 drink chica exit fee. The girl doesnīt have to actually drink them but youīll have to pay 105 Soles to pull a girl out. The drinks are 35 Soles for the girl. I was told that most of the hotties ask for $100 but since it was dead I told my girl Paola that I would be willing to pay $60. She laughed. I told her it is dead and she said even when itīs dead her minimum is $70. I wasnīt in the mood to argue over $10 us so I accepted and we left.
Immediately upon entering my room my phone rings. Itīs my Columbian girl. Oh no. She was scheduled to fly out at 6 AM so she had to get up at 4 AM so I thought she would be fast asleep. Anyway it was about 2 AM. She was crying wanting to come over to my room. I asked her how she knew I was home and she said she asked the guy at the front desk to call her when I arrived. (You have to get buzzed in to get in the hotel). Anyway, of course that guy saw me with my girl so Iīm sure he was laughing his ass off at the situation.
We have this long talk while the girl from the club is laughing her ass off. I have to keep motioning for her to be quiet. It was a stressful situation as I didnīt want to hurt the Columbian girlīs heart. I told her I couldnīt see her since the girl was half naked in my room.
Anyway, I had a great session. The girls here are affectionate. The normal BBBJ and great sex. I gave her $70 us that we agreed upon and she left. My girl ended up coming over shortly after that to talk so Iīm damn glad the other girl was gone by then.
Iīm going to go out exploring the city more and will go out tonight. I like this city. Surprisingly I thought Lima was this ugly city with ugly girls but that isnīt the case.
By Godfather on Thursday, April 22, 2004 - 01:44 pm: Edit |
Some other things that I noticed is that surprisingly the majority of the police officers I see on the street and highway are women! Iīd say 85% of the police officers I have seen have been female. Some of them are cute too! It gives new meaning to getting frisked.
I have found it safe walking around San Isidro and Miraflores even very late at night. Iīd say the crime rate is low here and everyone has told me itīs perfectly safe to walk around at night here in those areas.
The city IS congested and you hear car horns blarring all hours of the day even in Miraflores. There are not too many lights at the intersections except the major ones and itīs a miracle there arenīt more accidents here. Itīs funny they have this system of just honking their horns when they cross. Some streets donīt even have a stopsign! When I ask who has the right of way...most taxi drivers just told me no one. You kind of have to be careful and just honk your horn. One day I thought I was going to die the driver was so crazy!
I did some more research and a decent apartment in Miraflores can be rented for about $300-$350 a month. Iīm SERIOUSLY thinking about taking 1 year off in January and taking Spanish classes full time to get fluent. This has been a dream for some time and I think Iīll bite the bullet and do it. Lima is on my list of cities to consider.
I was introduced to a normal chica here that is a friend of one of the girls I know. I went to dinner with her the other night and she is a doctor here. I have no romantic interests with her but she invited me to her apartment tonight for dinner. She offered to help me with stuff if I decide to live here one year.
More later.
By Tiber222 on Thursday, April 22, 2004 - 03:28 pm: Edit |
Do you know why the majority of the police officers are women in Peru? The answer is really very simple. They are more difficult to be corrupted. A local friend of mine explained me this, and this is happening after a major corruption scandal among police officers in the past years... And it seems it is working, less corruption now....
By Godfather on Friday, April 23, 2004 - 10:07 am: Edit |
Yes Tiber222. I also heard that same explanation. I hear these female cops are tough as nails though. It's funny watching so many of them on huge motorcyles that look too big for them. Oh well. Here is the latest info.
OK. Today's dose of information. I didn't get to sleep until about 5:30 AM this morning. It's almost noon now and I'm ready to start my day. I went to a wonderful dinner at my friend's house with her friend. It's nice to see how the better half live here in Peru. Both girls were from prominent families and both were professionals. I didn't leave that dinner party until 1 AM so I had a late start.
In my quest to discover the next best thing I went to yet another high end club called Club 69. Yet again, it wasn't cheap. I got there late so there weren't too many girls but then again I was told not too many girls work here compared to other clubs. There were only about 17 girls. I thought the club was the nicest so far out of the other clubs. It's kind of laid out like a high end strip club back in the States. The dance floor is above the bar which is cool. They had comfortable couches. One bad sign was there were more guys than girls at one point but it's clear to see that many of them are just to hang out and watch the shows.
The entrance fee here is a whopping 80 Soles that only covers your first drink. You must buy two drinks to session with a girl. The drink costs were about 35-40 Soles each. Then on top of that you have to pay about 100 Soles fine to leave or session there. The girls will ask for $100 US but it can be negotiated down. There were some hot hot hot girls. I saw about 4 girls that I would classify as a 9 with smoking hot faces and hot bodies. All this adds up to a little more than Emanuelle. $160 US total.
I ended up calling this spinner with an awesome body and beautiful face. We ended up talking a while and were laughing and having a good time. She asked for $100 at first then I told her it was too much and she knew there were no clients that would leave. It was 2 AM at this point. She gave me the option of sessioning in one of the 4 rooms there for $70 for two hours or bringing her back to my room for $80. The money wasn't the issue but I wanted to see the rooms. Do NOT do it. There are NO beds in them. Just couches. I passed and brought her back home.
Oh my God. Let's just say once again a girl topped another girl. I had one of the best sessions of my life. We clicked really well. I invited her to lunch on Saturday and I'm picking her up at her apartment in San Isidro. I'll have lunch with her on Saturday somewhere nice and then have another mind blowing session.
The address of Club 69 is Jean Paul Sartre 190 (ex calle uno) Surquillo. Tele: 225-8294 www.clubsesentaynueve.net
I was told it had the same owner of Emanuelle. One word of caution is that the area it is in looks kind of seedy even though technically you are in Miraflores. They only had one taxi there and first he said 20 Soles for which normally is a 5 Soles taxi ride. Keep in mind at night coming from the clubs in an area with not too many taxis they will charge a premium. There were NO other taxis. I got him down to 15 Soles but that is the most he would budge. I wasn't in the mood to look for one.
I'm emailing with some dude on WSG that told me he owned a club so I'll try to hook up with him tonight or at least visit his club and tell you what I think.

I could have used it today. I am super tired. I just got done walking around the past several hours. I called BellasVIP several times and no one answers the phone. It goes straight to voicemail. I didn't leave a message as I'm not in my hotel today.
I went to Barranco today and walked around a good bit and took pictures. I also had a great lunch there. I walked all the way back to Miraflores which is a small hike. It's nice along the oceanview path from Barranco to Miraflores (Larco Mar). There is a landscaped path with lots of flowers and trees and a good view. I saw lots of nice apartment complexes with good views of the ocean.
Anyway, I talked to FlyingAce from the board who owns a club here. I'm planning on having a few drinks with him tonight in his club and checking it out. He sounds like a cool guy.
By Godfather on Saturday, April 24, 2004 - 10:41 am: Edit |
Ok fellas. Another great night behind me. After my last update one of the girls from the high end clubs that I sessioned with called me and we hooked up for a jugo (juice) near my hotel then we had a wild session. Wow. I ditched my amiga for dinner since I wanted to check out FlyingAce's club. I went to go eat in Pizza Alley. The pizza is quite good there. It's mildly annoying that many of the girls will try to get you to eat in their places but it's ok.
Unfortunately for Pizza Alley the only cute girls are some of the girls working at the restaurants. I still have yet to see a doable girl that is working there. YMMV.
I went to Madonna Club very early because FlyingAce said he would be there early. I got there and I was the first one. I simply told them I was FlyingAce's guest and they didn't charge me a cover. I was told the cover they usually charge goes to pay the commission to the taxi. It's a sliding scale that can range anywhere from 20 Soles on up to 80 soles. He mentioned to me that he would offer some discount or maybe even waive the entrance fee if you identified yourself as a "WSG member". I thought that was totally cool of him.
Madonna Club
(Santa Catalina)
Ave. Nicolas Arriola 157
Ok. Here is my objective impression on the club. It's in a part of town called Santa Catalina which is a short taxi ride from Miraflores. The club is upstairs and it's modeled after a US type strip club. There is a stage where the girls do their dances and there are even private rooms where you can talk, make out, or more with the girls in private. The drinks for guys run about 12 Soles for a cerveza on up for whiskey. The prices were definitely cheaper here for drinks. The chicas drinks are anywhere from 30-35 Soles each and apparently they make some kind of commission for each drink you buy them. Probably not much. Their bread and butter is going to be made leaving with you.
I met FlyingAce and he is a really laid back guy that seems to have a good head on his shoulders. I also met his wife and they seemed like a happy couple. I guess that's what life is all about. I watched as girls slowly filtered in. It was still early for a friday night. Some of the girls were hot. Overall I found the quality here better than Eclipse Club that I went to the other night. There were several doable girls here and I'm pretty picky. FlyingAce did tell me that it can be hit or miss on any given night depending how many girls are there but I think the club has a lot of potential, especially with the quality that I saw.
There were a few girls that I was scoping out. One that was pretty but not the hottest girl in the club seemed a little shy. She also looks like Jerry Seinfeldt's old girlfriend, Shoshanna, who for some reason I was attracted to. I went over to talk to her and bought her a chica drink. We quickly were joking around and laughing like old friends. This definitely puts the girls at ease right away. We made it back to a VIP room where we were kissing, sucking on eachothers chests and rubbing one another.
We start talking prices and I'm surprised to find out the girls in this club are able to charge the same as the other high end clubs. The other night I sessioned with a total hottie model type in 69 for $70 HOWEVER, the good thing here is the exit fee is only 50 Soles. You combine that with you entrance fee and you are saving alot. You do have to buy the chica 2 drinks like Club 69 to leave with her.
"Shoshanna" told me she often gets $100 and FlyingAce's wife confirmed that. I told her I couldn't justify paying more than $60 or $70 which is what I was paying. Then we started making out some more. I bought her another drink and then I asked her, "que vas a hacer esta noche?" (what are you going to do tonight). She told me, "hacer amor contigo". Anyway, I asked her how much she wanted to leave with me. She told me to tell her. Ha, ha. I told her $70 and she said that's fine. I paid my bar bill for my drinks, her two drinks and the exit fine and it was 159 Soles + I gave the guy a 20 Soles tip.
We went back to my hotel and yet another FABULOUS session. Holy sh*t! She stayed for a little two hours when I told her I HAD to eat. It was about 1:45 AM but I was starving after that monster session. Our session was probably about 1 hour and 20 minutes straight sex! Anyway, she gave me all her phone numbers, email and the usual stuff chicas give us. We walked down to an intersection and it dawned on her that we both showered and I changed so she figured out I might see another girl. She stopped me on the street and told me NOT to see another girl tonight! I looked at her with a straight face and told her if she didn't return to her club I wouldn't either. We both started laughing so hard!
I give Madonna's club two thumbs up and can objectively recommend it as a good club to go to. It's still not cheap when you factor in the girl's prices are near the price of the other clubs but you'll pay substantially less with the entrance/exit fee.
I went to go grab a snack then I noticed all these clubs on the main street across from Parque Miraflores. Some had HOT girls going into them. I went upstrairs to one of them and it was full with a good live band playing music. There were several clubs. A few girls talked to me asking where I was from. To be honest I was drained of energy and couldn't go around round if I wanted to.
Two great sessions yesterday. Unfortunately today is my last day. Work is calling me back to the States so I must return. Not to mention in less than 2 weeks I'll be back on foreign soil in Amsterdam/Paris/Prague for a 11 day trip.
Life is good.
By Godfather on Saturday, April 24, 2004 - 05:07 pm: Edit |
This is my last "live" update in Lima. I just got done with a long day. I took the girl I met at Club 69 to lunch at a restaurant called Francesco in Miraflores overlooking the ocean. It's a nice place that isn't pretentious and the quality of seafood was among the best I have eaten anywhere. The prices weren't too bad but still not cheap. Ended up spending about $70 for drinks, appetizers, entrees tip and coffee. The place was full even at 3 PM so maybe better to make reservations if you want a table near the window.
After that I came back to my hotel and sessioned. Another great session. I'm going to miss Lima. I just got out of the shower and I'm checking emails before my flight later tonight.
I'll probably be back here later this summer. It's been another great trip.
By Godfather on Sunday, April 25, 2004 - 04:58 pm: Edit |
Unfortunately I'm back in the US for 10 days until I head back to Europe. As I posted, Lima was a pleasant surprise. I really liked the city. I walked around a TON around the city. While the city IS congested it is beautiful in Miraflores, San Isidro, Barranco and the historic center.
The people are very friendly here to tourists. Several people I encountered at least spoke a few words of English due to their enormous tourism there.
The unemployment rate like much of South America is quite high around 25%. Many people I talked to made only 700-800 Soles per month. I heard a cop here makes 1000-1200+ soles per month. I'm amazed I wasn't in any car accidents or didn't witness any. The lack of traffic signals and stop signs still baffles me.
There is no major mass transit system there. No subways or metros and I didn't see too many city buses except on the major autopista and even there only a few. Most of the people take private smaller vans back and forth for 1 Sole.
I found the decent places to eat were not cheap. Comparable to places like Buenos Aires. I dropped a lot of money on food. It was unfortunate that things didn't work out with my girl. She tried till the very last night to make something work. I had lunch with one of my best friends today and showed him the pictures and he flat out told me she was one of the hottest girls he ever saw in his entire life. Oh well. I guess looks aren't everything.
I love photography even though I'm not an expert. Here are a few pictures I took in Lima. As you can see it's a beautiful city. Good luck.

Awesome photos GF...Those are some wonderfully colorful places you visited...Thanks for the great report and photos.
By Godfather on Monday, April 26, 2004 - 06:43 am: Edit |
Thanks guys for the good words. No problem on it not working out. If I wanted to keep her as a novia on the side it would be easy to do but once they start talking marriage and stuff like that I tend to get realistic on them very FAST. She is a super hot girl but as I said...I need more in common with them.
MitchC, I use a Olympus 5 meg. digital camera. I use the highest setting for high quality and it takes the best out of any camera I have ever used including a high end regular camera. Even the night shots are very good with the strong flash. I originally bought it because it was dubbed the smallest 5 meg. camera in the world but it has proven to be a great camera.
By Mitchc on Monday, April 26, 2004 - 10:55 am: Edit |
Is it the same camera you used for the Cali photos? Those indoor shots looked a little dark. Thanks.
By Godfather on Monday, April 26, 2004 - 11:03 am: Edit |
Yep. Same camera. Keep in mind many of those Cali shots were in COMPLETE darkness. My bedroom was dark for mood and I only had candles lit so the photos were only lit by the candles and the flash of the camera. It really is a great camera. I think it was like $500 plus I spent another $150 or so on extra cards for storage.
By Off2golf on Monday, April 26, 2004 - 01:00 pm: Edit |
GF,
Thanks for great articulation on your Peru expedition. I envy you that you have time and finacial to back your hobbies in various destination, and mostly seem to know how to enjoy your life by sensible appropriation of time and money, which supports my thought of 'you don't bring it when you go'.
Hope someday in future we are on each other's hobby path so I can buy you a beer or two.
By Godfather on Monday, April 26, 2004 - 02:48 pm: Edit |
Hey Off2golf. Thanks. I agree with you on the "you don't bring it when you go". I had this Peru trip planned a few months ahead of time. I met the Colombian girl on my trip to Cali. Sometimes my biggest problem is I just do whatever I want without thinking things in too much detail. All my life I've been able to kind of just do what I felt like doing. This was no different. I'm actually glad I did it though as I learned a good lesson. I doubt I'll do anything like this again.
I've been very very very fortunate to be able to see so much of the world the past 2 years or so. Probably the most rewarding thing for me was breaking away from going to Rio and Buenos Aires over and over again and exploring the rest of South America and Europe too. I just bought a ticket to go to Chile in July so that should be another adventure.
I hope to hook up with you sometime. Good luck.

Lima is build on different cities, so Lima centro, Miraflores, San Isidro and Barranco, even though are very close, many times have scarce direct routes between them. Taxis must use Ave. Arequipa (el zanjon the cut down pass through) and they charge some specific prices or go through the Golf course. Having said that you must always remember that a trip to the airport cost 12-14 sole, so an internal taxi fare should be around 5 to 8 sole, always negotiated beforehand, and probably letting the first guy go if he doesnt agree to lower the offered rate. My hint: say always where you are going and then 5 soles (Voy a Larcomar
cinquo soles, ya?) He will say 6 solcitos
ya? And you say Yá (deal!!).
