Peru Master Thread 2

Let`s continue with the last part.

Competence

Peruvians guys stend to be short, in an study i aw that the average height in Lima is 5' 5(1.64 cm), it is normal to see guys below 5'3, especially in the sierra and jungle. In terms of looks, a light skin man with average height and some desired features for peruanas, he can be easily considered in the top 5-10%.

The gym cuiture and fashion clothes style are still low. The big advantage of peruanos is that They are not afraid to approach, some have decent game and a developed dance floor game.

Honestly, I want to believe that for a RVF member would be so easy to separate from the average peruano or other loser foreigners(There are many backpacker types with horrible game,broken). The hardest competition is with rich peruanos(10%) who tend to be whiter, taller,european looking, amazing cars(BMW,Mercedes, Audi Porsche) and high social circles.

Peruvian Secret Society

I put this name to the hot girls(7.5+) that most of members and other foreigners don`t see. In reality is not a secret society, but it is super exclusive. Do you really think that You will go to Barranco and Miraflores and see the best peruvian talent?

The answer is not,even if you see some decent looking girls, most of A1 are partying in Bolivar Hotel, private houses of La Planicie, Casuarinas, Larco,La Molina, summer houses of Asia and North Peru.

Let`s explain with a short story. In the Past(years ago), You go to private universities, nice clubs, Miraflores Disco and You could find tons and tons of white good looking peruanas. The actual situation is that Mestizos(mixed blood) are becoming rich and getting more power, They are called Los nuevos Ricos(The new riches), Now they can afford expensive houses,clubs, universities,trips.

The problem is that white riches don`t tolerate the New Mestizo high class and try to avoid, then private parties are the result. Recommendation is that if you get soccial circle, good things are waiting for you.


Food

TripAdvisor is your bestfriend, i wrote coments of restaurants(my passion) most of the days, I would recommend Chifa Titi, Madam Tusan, Maido, Central, La Rosa Nautica, Segundo Muelle. If you find Huariques(hidden restaurants with great food and cheap prices), try it, you won`t forget. I strongly suggest to have seafood.

Tips and Expectation

*Don`t come here if You are expecting to get the 2 or 3 digits notch count, Philipiness, Thailand or Indonesia wait for you. I have met average foreigners with bad game getting 10 girls per month, but these guys were mostly exchange students(6-12 months here) and banging below 5` peruanas. i respect personal decissions, but A decent foreigner can access to some good local material.

*Don´t be an asshole, Yeah it may works with your westerners or american girls, but peruanas(exceptions) tend to be friendlier and don`t play too much games.

*Try most of peruvian food and travel to different regions, If you love adventure, definitely Peru is one of the greatest countries for that.

*Be careful of Bricheras(gringo hunters), peperas(girsl who put drugs in alcohol), scammers.

*Use Uber is so dann cheap and safe.

*Try to have a decent behavior, in some parts, foreigners are getting a bad reputation(bother girls,drugs,drink, ugly,backpacker type)

*Regatea(ask for disscounts) everything.

*Read the detailed information of NovaVirtu and Designate, it will give you an idea of things that a decent member can expect here and I like the phrase of the first member: Beginner or expert, Peru is a great place to meet and develop your game.

*Yeah Peruvians are not hot as brazilians or colombians, but there is still some talent.

*Don`t focus too much in Tinder, it is good, but the best chicks are not there, you can do some day and night game, you will realize how easy you can develop your game and charm.

*Be aware of the risk and analyze the places you will visit.


Final Words

I was preparing a peruvian vocabulary, but maybe it is not necessary to post it, This is one my last intel relate to my country, i hope It helps the member, even for the thousand of lurkers who really want and like Peru. If you have any question and you deserve an answer, i will help, Feel free to post here, PM me as long as you are a red Pill member. Saludos

Well I am there just over 2 weeks.

I am thirsty for notches so I might have to do what you said about those foreigners with 10 notches per month at least until I get out of Peru again. My game is not good, so that may be the only option, if I dont want to be sexless for days on end during this stay, I am already starting to look at Peru as temporary only, depending on how it goes. As I will get a visa to Brazil in Lima so I will stay in Peru for the rest of the year then get the visa. I might mostly use it to get that then head into the Amazon. Some people have said different about it and said that if you pick the easiest kind, you will enjoy great "quantity over quality" and bang every day. I will be there soon so I will be able to report back on the real truth of if or not there are girls that can be banged all the time. I belive that the only reason for the difference in reports is the quality of the girls these statements are based on. If you are talking about only non indigenous, beautiful white, then yeah, you may be right, maybe very few notches, if you are talking about natives, the report cold be quite different. We will find out the details when I am there next month!

If I can't get new notches all the time in Lima, then its not the place for me to stay and I will go somewhere else where I can get it. But not the Philippines.

After getting my Iphone pickpocketed in Cusco some weeks ago yesterday I got robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight. Two men one armed with a gun walked into the tour agency I was in and robbed me and the employee of the tour agency. This happened in Huaraz where I am now. My mobile and wallet got stolen. I reported it to the tourism police who were usless and annoying as fuck. They are even making me pay a fee for the fucking police report, which they refused to even translate into English (this was at the tourism police). I was late to arrive at the tour agency for my tour agency by 20 minutes because some food I ate the night before (at a more expensive restaurant mind you) made me vomit the next morning which made me 20 minutes late. If I was on time I would have been out of the agency and never got robbed. This was after a tour I was on (the same day I ate the dodgy dinner) where I got lost because of a lack of signs and a useless tour guide (he was actually just a cook not a tour guide, because they split the group in two and only had 1 tour guide) and then the tour company bus to go back to Hauraz broke down and I had to wait a long time and catch 2 collectivos back to Hauraz. Fucking Peru!!

^ Nothing you say I give credibility to; you seem to hate Peru, but most surprisingly, never leave. (Newbies take note of this contradiction and judge accordingly)

Perhaps you can relocate permanently to Cuzco and give us daily travel subforum updates on how "dodgy" the food is (at a destination renowned for restaurants)? Or a scale of how dodgy each neighborhood is, in terms of crime, traffic, and corruption.

[Australia Sucks]

Scrambled what makes you say I lack credibility? Are you calling me a liar? Just because I have a different opinion to you on how good a place is does not make me a liar. Since when is Huaraz known for good restaurants? I will leave Peru towards the end of november because I bought my flight tickets before I arrived in Peru. Besides I am not going to let some bad experiences make me quit my holiday early. I am here to see Peru so I will see it, the good, the bad and the ugly.

If you think the food is bad in Peru you have a problem....Sorry.

[Australia Sucks]

Dsutmdo home cooked Peruvian food (and usually also the food provided on treks which is similar to homecooked type food) is excellent, as for the restaurants in Peru based on my personal experience 20-30% of restaurants in Peru are good and 70- 80% of restaurants are mediocre (or sometimes worse). I have probably been to at least 30-50 restaurants/cafes, etc in Peru so I think I am qualified to have an opinion on the restaurants.

[OldDirtyBismarck]

@Aus

Sorry for your experience in Huaraz, I´ve been there recently for a couple of days. Beautiful landscapes, not so beautiful women. It´s very unusual to get robbed like this in broad daylight. Actually the only time I got robbed by gun in Peru happened at 4 in the morning in Barranco where I used to live. I totally agree about the Tourism police - they are, like a lot of other peruvian officials, just useless, lazy and not really interested in helping. Not to mean to generalise peruvian people here, I love them. But if you actually have a problem and need some help it might need a lot of work.

On the other hand I totally have to disagree about your food experience. While the food in Huaraz indeed is very basic and not outstanding, it is overall just tasty, fast, cheap and absolutely divers. Nothing beats a good old Chifa, Aji de Gallina or Anticuchos.

Anyways, I´m recently really lazy in going out and jumping in the Partyscene. Anybody who is in Peru right now care for sharing some secret spots? I´ve seen a lot of hot chicas in the new Club Frida, but it´s overfilled with thirsty gringos and seems very posh.

[Australia Sucks]

I will have to disagree about Huaraz women. Out of all the cities I visisted in Peru Lima had the best female talent followed by Huaraz. Of course 8s and 9s are almost non-existant in Huaraz but I saw a surprisingly high ratio (I mean high for Peru) of 6a and 7s bested only in Lima. I would say Huaraz has more women that are tall and thin with cute faces (% wise I mean) than other cities like Cusco or Arequipa in my opinion.

[Australia Sucks]

By the way I should I add in relation to the food the high end restaurants I went to in Lima (Gastron y astrid and also Malabar) were world class.

it might need a lot of work: not really, what would be needed is, slipping them policemen fifty dollars. Then they'll investigate your case, quite diligently.

Ok, quite possible, but they do steal smartphones in the west too, out of your very hands.

Possible, but if it was indoor it wasn't "broad daylight". Your use of misleading language shows your persistent habit of exaggerating and distortion.

Quote:

Another mobile phone? You seem to be having large numbers of iphones/mobiles stolen, in a short period of time. Buying more smartphones/iphones in Peru, on a student budget, as fast as they are stolen? (And they appear to be stolen from you constantly, though never your fault).

Quote:

I reported it to the tourism police who were usless and annoying as fuck.

As usual you are exaggerating to make yourself seem more of a victim and everybody else stupid. My experience, and backed by tour guides and other visitors, is that Peru values tourism since they make quite a bit of money on it and are not dismissive to foreigners reporting crimes. Really, both useless AND annoying? You offer no detail as to why, other than they didn't magically make your stolen items reappear. And demanding bribes? After being useless and annoying, or before? Or maybe we should doubt your 100% negative feedback about Peru, which seems to be horrible no matter what city you are in.

Quote:

They are even making me pay a fee for the fucking police report, which they refused to even translate into English (this was at the tourism police).

I thought you are a Spanish student; and why would you need to read the report, when you are the one who gave it? Why would you expect a foreign country to file official reports in English?

Peruvian food is so bad that not only do you get horribly ill, but you get robbed because of it later! Blaming others is the child's response to adversity. Not relevant, even if true. The food made me lose my iPhone, again!

A cook as a tour guide, huh? Likely. Hopefully it wasn't the same one as above that gotcha "sick-robbed". More "useless" people at that--except you, you are the eternal victim, superior but not appreciated.

Quote:

That's a likely day; food poisoning/daylight robbery indoors/ceviche chef as tour guide/broken bus/two "collectivos" back, as a mere single transfer would not suit your story of horrific suffering in the 3rd-world dystopian nightmare that is the tourist track of Peru in the summer.

[Australia Sucks]

Scrambled i had 2 phones stolen in my whole time in Peru. When did I say constantly? You obviously misinterpreted what I wrote. The first was when I got pickpocketed in Cusco, which was my iphone that I brought with me from Australia and it was an Iphone 4s that I owned for a long time. The second phone was a cheap (59 soles) basic Peruvian phone that I bought in Peru so that I could make phone calls while in Peru. I never said this was an iphone. It got stolen when I got robbed at gunpoint.

As for broad daylight it was just an expression, and I did not mean it literally.

I am not a student nor have I ever claimed I am such, nor did I ever state that I am travelling on a student budget. I simply do not like to waste money on things that are unecessary. For example I will stay in cheap hostels (but in a private room) and catch cheap buses and look for the cheapest tour agency, but I will get tours for whatever places i want (even for expensive places like Manu) as often as I want and eat at expensive restaurants as often as a want and splash money on dates with girls.

Scrambled when did i ever mention demanding bribes? The 7.5 soles I had to pay for the police report is an official fee which I mentioned I had to pay at the bank. It is not a bribe and I never claimed such. I never mentioned the word bribe anywhere.

Also, I am not a Spanish student. I mentioned on one of the threads that I took 5 weeks of Spanish lessons at the start of my trip in Cusco so I could survive in Peru (14 week holiday). I never said I was a Spanish student or studying Spanish offcially. My Spanish is very basic and I never claimed anywhere that I was fluent.

As for why I need the report in English, firstly it is the tourism police they should be able to get the report translated, secondly I had a photocopy of my passport, my actual Australian drivers license and two bank cards (which I cancelled) in my wallet (apart from the cash). Also they had my mobile phone. I also phoned the Australian embassy in Lima and reported the theft. So later down the track if I am back in Australia and I have problems with identity theft (because my details were in my wallet) and I am in Australia I could give a copy of the police report to the police in Australia. At the stage it would be useful if the report was in English. I was trying to use some foresight and plan ahead in case, hence the usefulness of a report in English. I explained to them my reasons for wanting the report in English.

As for the tourism police it is a long story but suffice to say it took me a day and a half to sort things out because of the bueracracy and their lack of English speaking ability. It would take too long for me to explain in detail by writing that they were annoying and useless. Why is it hard to believe that government employees in a poor country would be useless and annoying? It is a long story which involves many back and forths, let us just leave it at that.

Tour companies in Peru are often really unprofessional (the guides are usually good but the companies themselves suck). Many times they have life vests that do not buckle properly, leaking tents, do not check their vans regularly, etc. They rarely if ever do proper equipment checks or adhere to rigorous procedures that they would in wealthier countries. The trek for Santa Cruz was a mix of people doing the same trek in 3 days or 4 days. So on the third day they split up the group in 2, and my group (the 3 day group) was only 5 people so they gave us the cook for the last day and we did have a guide the first 2 days. The cook was a good/really fast walker and was familiar with the route but did not speak English and was not a trained guide. After the cook took us to the end of the trek he walked back to join the 4 day group to start preparing their food. It is Peru, in general companies and people are unprofessional. Also i said the man was a cook, I never said ceviche chef (we never even ate ceviche on the trek) so get your facts straight.

It is a fact that most if not all collectivos that go from Baccaria (the end or beggining of the Santa Cruz trek depending on which side you start) do not go directly to Huaraz but go to a town from where you can get another collectivo to Huaraz. It is a fact and you can look it up on the internet. Or ask a local from Huaraz. Why is it so hard to believe?

I did not even mention the problems I had with two of the hostels in Huaraz that is another can of worms. There was another restaurant I ate at in Huaraz that was highly recomended on trip advisor and owned by a foreigner. The food and service there was terrible (Patricks Creperie I think it was called) and I had a an argument with the stupid staff about it (the owner was not there) and then slammed them on trip advisor with a bad review afterwards.

As for my whole story it was just a combination of bad luck. Why is it so hard to believe that somebody could have a combination of bad or unlikely things happen? Why would I even make up this story? Is it really so hard to believe I am not a troll? Also my feedback is not 100% negative on Peru. I mentioned the beautiful women in the rich parts of Lima, the tasty homecooked food, the excellent high end restaurants in Lima and the good scenary/nature in the whole of Peru. Yes my posts were more negative than positive, but you are exaggerating if you say I was 100% negative.

Scrambled, in future If you want to attack everything I post please p.m. me instead of posting it on thread as it is derailing the thread, and others probably do not want to read a mud-slinging match between two posters. Thanks.

I believe what AS wrote about being robbed. 'In broad daylight' is just an expression.

A 14 week holiday in Peru? That's a long time to stay somewhere you don't like. I'm not sure how much time you have left but there are cheap flights to Chile from Lima.

[Australia Sucks]

Zoom, I go back to Australia in around 2 weeks and I am really looking forward to doing a jungle trek in Iquitos so I do not want to leave Peru now.

You said you were going to a language school in Cusco, in the Cusco thread, doesn't that make you a student.

I remember you complaining about Cusco and how much you hated it, but you already paid for school a few weeks in advance and didn't want to leave early and forfeit the money.

[Australia Sucks]

I took 5 weeks of private lessons at a language school in Cusco. I do not consider that taking 5 weeks of language lessons makes you a student. Like I said I took a little bit of Spanish lessons at the start of my trip so I could survive in Peru.

"What you do is so loud, I cannot hear what you say".

It isn't an "attack", which implies again that you are some victim, but rather a response to your aggressively expressed, usually false, and always exaggerated claims (i.e., whining), all of which are not only unhelpful, unmanly, but misleading to readers. A combination of whining and falsity strikes me as contemptible as well as offensive, and deserving of reply.

Nor am I derailing the thread; but preventing you from doing so.

As long as you post publicly, you consent and open yourself to public responses. It is an ironic twist of your "PM" request, that not only do you presume to think you are above being refuted publicly, but also miss that this not even about you, but correcting the record on travel to Peru for the thousands of viewers of this forum.

But we know you will continue to post publicly, as misery loves company, and whinging the I-am-superior-but-somehow-a-victim-and-Peru-sucks-but-I-never-leave nonsense to only one's self is never as satisfying.

Actually Zoom, I am heading to Iquitos very soon so please send me a p.m. with some info. I appreciate it.

I just got robbed (sneak theft) a few days ago for the 3rd time in Peru. Possibly (there is one other possibility for the theft which i will not go into) when I was asleep on the bus between two cities they must have robbed my bag in the overhead storage compartment. Some buses in Peru have cameras in the bus and a security guard with a camera records everybody's face once they sit down in the bus. This bus did not have either, and surprise my shit gets stolen. I did not realise until later.

I should not have let my guard down and made a newbie mistake of leaving my tablet and my mobile phone charger in my backpack. Sometimes when it is night and tired and in a hurry and you had to deal with other bullshit during the day you forget about shit like making sure stuff is not easily accessible to thieves or checking the shower, internet and toilet of a hostel you are paying for to make sure it works, checking the notes you get as change to make sure they are not slightly torn (nobody accepts slightly torn notes in Peru so you have to wait in their horrendously long bank queues to change it), etc. In Peru everyone, even including the government is trying to hustle you.

The fuckers at the airport (you read on the internet that you get 183 days stay in Peru) stamp your passport without telling you they are giving you less days (apparently the officers have discretion) put a sneaky little number (with no explanation next to it mind you) that tells you how many days you get (in my case 30 days) in the corner of your stamp in small writing which you probably will not even look at (because you assume you are getting the advertised 183 days, especially when nobody explained to you otherwise). Then they catch you by surprise for a fine for "overstaying" when you leave the airport. This was despite both my incoming and return flight being booked before I entered Peru and now I found out about it and apparently there is nothing I can do and must pay a $70 USD fine when I leave Peru.

Its like when I was in Cusco they sell a ticket for tourists for 130 soles which gives you entrance to a bunch of different historical sites and museums. It lasts for 10 days. Because I was busy in Cusco I did not get to see everywhere on the ticket in 10 days and there were a few places left. A few days after the ticket expired I went to this one museum 10 minutes walk from the Plaza De Armas and I showed them my expired ticket and asked them if I could buy a separate entrance ticket for the museum. They said they did not sell a separate entrance ticket and I would have to buy another full "bolleto touristico" for 70 or 130 soles. I of course just skipped the museum. But it is typical of how the Peruvian government treats tourists. The tourism police and the migration office, tourist information, etc were all being cunts to me. When I got robbed at gunpoint in Huaraz when I went to the tourism police apart from sending me back and forth on a wild goose chase to different government agencies and asking me the same questions 5 times, they were being cunts. It was a public holiday and none of the currency exchanges would open until night and I had no soles (I had USD in my hostel) because my wallet got stolen. You should not drink the tap water in Huaraz (like most Peruvian cities). I explained the situation to the police and said I needed one sole to buy a bottle of water and asked 3 police officers at the station. None of the fuckers would give me one sole after I got robbed during the day in their city (useless fuckers) at gunpoint in a tourist agency on the main street.

I never got robbed in my life until I came to Peru when I got robbed 3 times in 12 weeks. Not to mention the amount of people I had trying to scam me and all the unfriendly and unhelpful locals and government employees I had to deal with. When I was in Piura and trying to replace my little white tourist card (Andean Migration card or something) the manager there told me basically I had to go to Lima and its not her problem. Of course I was yelling at her for not even trying to help me or call Lima and then she said I was being rude and that she would complain about me! The useless bitch could have actually used the time she was going to use for complaining about me (to who would she even complain?) to actually try and call up someone in Lima and get info and try and help me out. I am sick of useless people in Peru. Nobody ever wants to help you and everything is somebody elses problem or fault. I have never been in a country where people are so useless and tourists are treated so bad. I would rather go to Afghanistan then come back to Peru. Fuck Peru!!

This is thread ia not going in the direction i was hoping for. To Resume the situation, @Australia Sucks read some information about how easy is Cusco, He got excited, bought her ticket for six weeks, hire an spanish course in advance. He thought: I will bang tons of peruanas, learn Spanish,
Meet amazing places and enjoy my time. The expectations were extremely high.

When He came to Cusco, He faced that his reality was different, the girls were not cutie and easy as He expected. Then, the negativity invaded him, he blame the weather, hotels, service, tours,restaurants,girls, everything.

To analyze the problems He mentioned:

*Cusqueños hate tourist.
Really? The most touristic region, many of them live from tourism. They love foreigners a lot.

*Hotels don't have good service.
What did you expectt from a cheap hotel? Go to Belmont, Marriot for quality.

*The other tourist chicks are trashy
You blame that you didn't have luck with cusqueñas. You speak english and there are some swiss,germans,israelis,brazilians,argentines,even americans who are solid 7 or 7.5. You will need just normal game to get them.

*Tourist traps

Everywhere of the world.

*Poisinous food

Peruvian cuisine is one of the top in the world. Recently, "Central" was choosen as the third best restaurant of the world. There is a great variety of seafood, jungle,chifa,criollo and more. You can ask to locals for recommendations or even search in TripAdvisor(useful).

In conclusion: No one has anything against you. Your lack of game and negativity are your big drawbacks. I have had meetings with members and they are having a good time, You are the unique who is constantly giving bad reputation to Peru. Tons of lurkers or members who hasn't been here can believe you.

If the tourist places of Peru put you in trouble, You wouldn't survive in my places. Instead of this, I recommend to analyze yourself, improve your game, take amazing photos of the sightseeing, read the Vinny's Instagram Datasheet and see the changes. Pm if you want to ask something.

AS,

That's just how Latin America is. In Latin America robbery is common, service is bad, and cops are apathetic. Peru is no different.

Last month I went to Iquitos to do a jungle tour. PM me if you have any questions.

Its like when I was in Cusco they sell a ticket for tourists for 130 soles which gives you entrance to a bunch of different historical sites and museums. It lasts for 10 days. Because I was busy in Cusco I did not get to see everywhere on the ticket in 10 days and there were a few places left. A few days after the ticket expired I went to this one museum 10 minutes walk from the Plaza De Armas and I showed them my expired ticket and asked them if I could buy a separate entrance ticket for the museum. They said they did not sell a separate entrance ticket and I would have to buy another full "bolleto touristico" for 70 or 130 soles. I of course just skipped the museum.

Why should they let you see a museum for free? You bought a ticket for 10 days and the 10 days expired. That's just them following their end of the deal. You sound like you're just looking for stuff to complain about.

I have lived several years in Latin America (various countries), have been robbed only once, almost never witnessed anybody robbed or mugged in the street, and had good service in 90% of the restaurants or bars I went to. Had efficient service from public employees, though sometimes a bit slow (but mind you, public employees are actually even slower in my own native Western country)... As to policemen, they might be apathetic if they are waiting bored in their police stations (ain't it so in all of the world?) or just on watch at some uninteresting street-corner, but, if they're really motivated by a particularly heinous crime, or in hot pursuit of a criminal, you'll find they're quite competent actually (a bit on the give-me-a-little-bribe side sometimes, sure, but competent).

Shimmy, I am not saying they should let me in for free at the museum. I am saying they should sell an individual entrance ticket for that particular museum rather than making you buy an expensive multipass ticket for 20 different places.

Drix I cannot take photos anymore because my Iphone, tablet and camera all got robbed. Yes high end restaurants in Lima are amazing and I have been to Malabar, to Gastrid y Astron, etc and they were excellent. However, firstly Lima is not the whole of Peru and most people including me cannot afford (when travelling for a few months) to eat only at high end restaurants every day (sometimes yes, but not always) or stay at the Marriot Hotel, etc. And even some of the restaurants I went in cities other than Lima (have not went to a bad restaurant in Lima yet) were not good even though they were recomended in Lonely Planet or Trip advisor. My main gripe is not that fact that I only got laid (same girl) twice (had LMR on on 4 different occasions) this trip (better than my lay count in Australia over a 3 month period), my main gripe is how badly the country treats tourists.

Going to Peru actually made me appreciate Australia!! If you go to a country and you miss your own anglo shit hole country you know the place is bad.

I post some of my bad experiences about Peru (I would need a full seperate thread to list all of my bad experiences) to give balance to the hype about Peru so newbies or prospective travllers know that it is not all rainbows and unicorns as some posters here would have you believe.
