#1 Lima, Peru

Larco Mar

I never expected too many things when we first got to Lima. I thought to myself it will probably not be that great and I didn’t expect to see too many hot women. Well, I was wrong! Lima, Peru has some of the hottest women I have seen in South America. I also found them to be very friendly. I never bounced so many sets until I came to Lima. The daygame there is really good at Parque Kennedy and the shopping mall near there. The nightlife in Miraflores has three different areas: Parque Kennedy area, Barranco’s it’s a bar street that has all different types of music, and Larco Mar- a bit more upper class, but has plenty of good looking women. If you are looking for a place to stay, there are plenty of hostels in the Parque Kennedy area (Flying Dog Backpackers). If you need something quieter, check out Inka Lounge

The food in Lima is pretty good, but I did get sick and caught traveler’s diarrhea from eating the ceviche. Be careful and make sure the food you eat is properly cooked. Remember to go to Lima during their summer. It is sunny almost every single day and when it is not summer a coastal fog blankets the city   Limeños go in full force to the beaches over the summer. For info on gaming the women there, check out my FR’s.

# 2 Buenos Aires, Argentina

Tango Dancing

Buenos Aires, Argentina is one of the largest cities in South America. I had alot of expectations before heading there, but the city impressed me. What really did it was the nightlife. I remember going out my first night there around 12AM thinking it was kind of late and wondering why there wasn’t a big line of people at the venue. I later found out it’s because  porteños don’t like to hit the clubs till after 2AM. The club got packed after 2 and I was out till 8AM the next morning. That was some true partying there. The women are good looking. Most of South America you run into the tan latina type, but in Buenos Aires it has more of a European influence and a lot of the girls are more light skinned. It’s different, but different in a good way.

The city is so large that there are so many different night spots for whatever type of music you like. There are plenty of places to stay in Buenos Aires. We met a lot of backpackers who were staying at Millhouse Hostel. We heard it is a pretty crazy hostel as far as having parties. If you want something quieter, check out Vanilla House. It is listed as Chill House on the Lonely Planet. It is close to Plaza Serrano which is good on the weekends- lots of bars and restaurants.

The food in Buenos Aires is superb. You can tell the Italian influence in Argentina by its food. Delicious pizza and pasta dishes are common. There are plenty of restaurants in Plaza Serrano and downtown. Palermo Viejo has its own share of food places as well. For more info on BA, check out this article.

# 3 Medellin, Colombia

Many of you may be wondering why I didn’t put Medellin, Colombia as my number one destination. The women in Medellin were some of the hottest I have seen in South America, but the city itself was rather boring. There were times I would go out during the week and there would be nothing to do. The nightlife is concentrated in one small area called Parque Lleras. For more info on the nightlife, check out this article.

Now, back to the good stuff. Medellin is regarded as one of the safest cities in Latin America. The mayor has taken great steps to enforce the law and improve on the city safety. Even the subway system is well protected, and also clean. While you are there, make sure to try the Bandeja Paisa. Typically, bandeja paisa includes grilled steak (either ground or whole), chicharrón (fried pork rind), red beans, rice, chorizo, a fried egg, and an arepa. It is usually accompanied by sweet fried plantains and a slice of avocado.

For places to stay, check out Tiger Paw Hostel. I also heard that the Pitstop is a fun party hostel. I ended up staying in Medellin a month so I got a good deal on a monthly rental.

We got in this morning dead tired from the bus ride from Buenos Aires. About 10 hours total time in a nice luxurious two story bus with dinner and a breakfast. But, the breakfast was full of candies, way to get the caffeine in your system in the morning huh?

Didn’t do much exploring during the day. My body has been compensating itself for lack of sleep lately so my sleep hours have changed. I slept the rest of the day and finally woke up around 6. Bolo already did some things around town so he was now passed out.

Looking over Roosh’s old posts and the Lonely planet we decide on heading to Nuevo Cordoba and plan to get a cab. Well, the cab driver tells us “Estas en Nuevo Cordoba.” Which means you are in Nuevo Cordoba. We walk down the street and end up at a bar playing some pretty nice electro music. We sit down and order some drinks. I can’t drink much, because I am on antibiotics. I got sick in Lima from the food and caught a bad case of traveler’s diarreah. Man did it suck. Don’t eat ceviche I am warning you!!

I see a two set… I ask Bolo ” U gonna open?” I decide to open and head over there. It’s a 3 set and it didn’t go well at all. I opened them with “Do you know any good clubs around here?” The one I opened tells me one then she gets up and the other friend sits down. The friends are there and I tried to talk to them, but I was getting shut out by them. They weren’t having it. I say whatever then I sit back down with Bolo. He opens his next sit and they didn’t speak much English- he is working on his Spanish.

I have to rebound from that last set I am thinking to myself. I look to my left and see a group of three young college girls having a drink and socializing. I get up off my seat and head in their direction. I ask them about cool bars in the area. They say “No somos de aqui…”  (We are not from here.).I look over at them and ask them where they are from. The Patagonia. Wow, so you must like the mountains and the wilderness I ask my target to my right. She starts laughing and from there I sat down and locked in. I called my wing Bolo in who handled one of the obstacles.

In set

Ran the how many kids you are going to have palm read, kinoed, qualification, and frame control. She was a Psychology major at the University here in Cordoba… I asked her if she could read my mind? Bolo was stalling out towards the end because of the friends English inability. It was time to eject the set. Email closed- she said she didn’t have a phone? HMMM…. I’ll have to have something ready for that one because everyone has a phone these days…

Rest of the night

After that, the rest of the night was great. I couldn’t believe how many young college students there are in Cordoba. Some looked too young to be college students! We kept walking around the bar area and got handed a flier to a club called Bebederos. Bolo opens a set in there and the venue wasn’t too great so we head out….

I see a street set walk to my left… Bolo says open Latinstylez! I want to, but I’m caught off guard and don’t. We walk further past a park area and I see them to my left. This time I would… Asked about local clubs in the area and we kept walking with them… Bolo’s target was def into him and you could tell she was SNL material by the way she was looking at him… The problem was that she didn’t speak too much English. I would have ran obstacle for him- I can speak Spanish, but he had me run the apocalypse for him… She wasn’t having it… We moved on….

Last Venue of the Night

The last venue of the night was cool looking club in the Nuevo Cordoba area. Didn’t have the name of it on me… I’m going to start carrying around a notepad… As soon as we went in, Bolo was opened by a set of five hotties who were grabbing on to his newly shaved head… This definitely got the positive mood going… We talked to them for a bit to build social proof then walked around the venue. I spot a 3 set dancing… Open Latinstylez… I opened with “Quien da mas mentiras mujeres o hombres?” (Who lies more men or women) I have been using it down here in Latin America and it works well as a good opinion opener for two sets or more. They started talking and I picked my target out of the group… She had a piercing and I asked her if it hurt… She said no, then I asked her if she had any tats… Nope she didn’t have any…

I called Bolo in and he ran obstacle for me and his target ended up speaking English. The problem here is it was a 3 set. I have to work more on my isolation skills(I know build enough compliance with the friends)…with 3 sets as most of the sets I have been seeing in Cordoba are mixed sets. I was able to isolate for a bit when I number closed her… She was tall and very compliant to all of my compliance tests… I also joked around with her about being from the countryside cuz she was from a small town… She couldn’t have enough of it she was laughing so much…

The target and her friend went to get a drink so I opened a set of girls who looked pretty young. Found out they were 21… Again, Bolo’s target spoke English… And it was another three set… From another small town so I ran the same routine which worked well… Number closed…

End of the night

We were both pretty tired and decided to head home. As we were walking back, I thought to myself ” Cordoba wouldn’t be a bad place to stay for a while!” The young college population and fun nightlife make this city worth checking out… While everyone else is cold in Buenos Aires, we are all pretty warm here in Cordoba

Come join us on our next few days here and the next city we travel to!

Obelisco in Buenos, Aires

I only had one week in Buenos Aires, so this could contain more edits in the future when I come back to BA. Others who have traveled here share your comments with us!! Also expats who live in BA it would be great if you could send us more info on BA.

Buenos Aires is a city I have always wanted to visit since my high school days. With so many expecations, would the city live up to the hype I had for it?  The answer is a simple yes.  As soon as we got into Buenos Aires, the European style architecture, and the cities personality sticks out at you. It makes you want to explore more of the city.

Dangers:

From what I experienced, BA was relatively safe. Still, you have to exercise caution when you are traveling. Remember not to carry flashy jewelery, lots of cash, and always use common sense. BEWARE: counterfeit bills lurk around. I was handed one without even realizing it. When you are in a taxi, make sure to look over the bills. The shady neighborhoods are: Constitution Estacion, the eastern border of San Telmo and La Boca.

Sights:

The main part of Buenos Aires is the microcentero. It has many of the city’s museums and historical buildings. Be sure to check out Av Florida, Obelisco, Plaza de Mayo, and Puerto Madero.

Sleeping:

We ended up staying at a hostel by the name of the Vanilla House. I highly recommend it and they have deals on long term stays. It is listed as Chill House on the Lonely Planet it changed ownership a few months back.The people who run it are very cool and it is pretty close to Plaza Serrano- where a lot of bars and restaurants are located.

There are also other hostels in Palermo Viejo and the city center. I met a few traveler’s staying at Millhouse downtown. Be warned it is a party hostel. So, if that’s your thing check it out!

Eating:

Buenos Aires is famous for its food. You can tell the Italian influence in the cuisine- pizzas and pastas. In Palermo Viejo, where we stayed,  there are plenty of restaurants. There is also one that if you order from there you get a 10% off discount for staying at Vanilla House and it is very close. Plaza Serrano is loaded with restaurants and bars be sure to check it out.

Entertainment:

Buenos Aires is known for its nightlife and I was very impressed. The nightlife was very reminiscent of Miami- known for many different types of clubs and bars and open very late. People here don’t even go out till after 2AM. I learned that after going to a club early my first night out. I only got to experience a few days of the nightlife. The first club we checked out was on a Tuesday and it was called Le Cigale a lounge bar down town known for its Tuesday night. The night we went was on a holiday, but there were a few people there. The next venue we went to that night was Bahrein also known for its Tuesday and “Heavy Drum n Bass.” It was a great venue and a good crowd- I went the next Tuesday and it wasn’t that great, though.

The next night we went to Asia de Cuba in Puerto Madero. Well, they had a private party and we knew no one inside so we couldn’t get in. It sucked, but I’m sure it is a good venue. I’ll have to go one night when I come back to BA to check it out. The next night we went to Liquid with some girls we knew from the hostel. This was also a good venue with a mix of music and close to the hostel. The following night we went to Uruguay so we missed the weekend which I am sure BA has plenty of good weekend venues. Also check out Plaza Serrano on the weekends we heard it was good. There are plenty of bars in the area. Those who have been to BA and know of some more venues please share them with us.

Bus:

BA has an extensive bus network. The bus terminal is called Retiro and is three stories and has plenty of buses. Inside there are also cafeterias, shops, and bathrooms. Make sure to buy your ticket in advance.

Airport:

We came into BA from the Airport. The name is Ezieza International Airport. To get through immigration was very quick. Remember to save money  take the bus from the airport into the city. If you take a taxi, you will be spending a lot of money.

Girls:

I found the girls in BA to be very attractive. They are also known as porteñas and hystericas. Hystericas is a term that Lumiere had told me about and I heard from others in reference to girls from Buenos Aires. It basically means yes-but-no-but-yes-but-no it goes beyond flakiness. Remember that Argentina also has the highest rate of plastic surgery and psychoanalysis in the world. But, I was only here for a week and I found the girls to be very friendly. While other travelers told me they had high shields, I did not think that. Maybe that’s because I’m a PUA.

What was up with all the girl smoker’s in BA? And a lot of chicks with piercings, tats, and not painting nails?

Overall City Rank: A

I gave Buenos Aires, Argentina an A in my city rank scale. It offers a great nightlife,cute girls,and good food. On the downside, it was a bit more expensive than the other countries and had more tourists- especially Americans.  I like Americans, but when I’m traveling not so much.  I like to meet the local people when I go out to the bars and clubs. Maybe I was going to the touristy venues? Another thing, if you party all night, you end up waking up at 5 the next day feeling like crap.

If anyone has any suggestions on where the local Argentenian hangouts are in BA, let me know.

Come try out Buenos Aires…You won’t be dissapointed.
