The Beach: The beach in throughout most of Lima sucks. The beach by Mira Flores is all stones and rocks. If you want to check out a nice beach take a cheap bus ride (S/2-5) to Punt Hermosa. They have a decent break if you are into surfing.
How was the water temp?

To be honest, I always knocked Denver. But after spending a little more time here and going to more upscale places than I had been before, it's not THAT bad. I mean, it's no Miami or New York, but it is better than Peru. I saw some real talent in the Cherry Creek Mall last time I was there. Even at some dive bars I'll see talent here and there. Thing is, they just don't have very good style.
We should do a Denver VS Lima, Peru thread.
Now, that could get interesting.

Nice data sheet. This is basically what the average gringo will experience here in Lima. This city has got a lot of nuisances that need to be explained to outsiders if you want to have a good time. For example

Lol no, here the only girls that you will found in dating sites are 4's-5's or low class gringo hunters.
You are spot on on where to stay. The average tourist shouldn't really go out of Miraflores-Barranco(and maybe San Isidro but that is more of the financial district) because all the action is there. The other districts are residential or poor. The only reason for leaving those districts are for doing sightseeing and stuff (or buying pirated dvds on polvos azules, gringos love that shit. OMG ALL THE SEASONS OF FRIENDS FOR ONLY 20 les?!)
On the clubs for all I know you should have only gone to Aura, Gotica (which you didn't go) and La Huaka which is located in Asia (the beach, which you should have also gone to) Btw fun fact Bierhaus isn't a tourist trap, it's just a club that got ruined by the media because they found that the VIPs were letting underage people enter just for a 20 les grease. Girls in bars will usually be older (thus sloppier) except on university bars (Toro for example).
There's also one reason why you didn't spot too much cute girls in the clubs. They are all in the beach!! But you can't really meet them because beaches (the good ones) are mostly private so your only chance was having a connect with a house on the beach or going to the Boulevard of Asia and clubbing there.
On conclusion Lima is a social circle shithole unless you have connects with upper class Peruvian people and you are young. And even if you do have connects I wouldn't recommend coming here for the girls but for the toursity shit because you could score the same or higher quality girls on other countries for less investment.
It seems more and more, the verdict on every country on here after exhaustive analysis seems to be a "social circle shithole".
