looking for gay-friendly hotels in Cusco and Lima, Peru

[Dave Acton]

Yo Tripatinos!!

Planning a trip to Peru in the near future and wondering if there are any gay-friendly hotels in Cusco and Lima, I'm figuring 3 nights in the capital and 4 in Cusco.

Any ideas? Price range? Definitely want to stay someplace nice and right in middle of the action, but I'm not rich.

Also any suggestions for excursions etc, are appreciated. Obviously I'm going to Machu Picchu, anything else I should definitely not miss?

Thanks, this is a great Q&A forum!!!

Not sure about Cusco, but you can check out an article I wrote about gay-friendly Lima, which ran in Passport Magazine, the gay travel magazine: http://www.passportmagazine.com/destinations/lima.php

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Maybe you can contact Toon, a Dutch guy that owns both a guesthouse in Lima and a smal travel agency.

I worked with him as a travel agent for years and his service is very good.

I'm not sure about his website, but the guesthouse is to be found here:

You may refer to me. Tell him I worked on Aruba, Savaneta Passage, a Dutch travel agency for the Royal Dutch navy.

Good luck,

Johan

Have you looked at www.iglta.org? Intl. Gay and Lesbian Travel Assn., with many members in South America. First place to start re Peru is their blog and Facebook, too.

Best wishes, Gay and Lesbian Travel Expert Dee Farrell from USA and Australia.

Shoot a question on Twitter to NG_Lima. She is one of my writers for NileGuide in Lima and may have recommendations.

Good luck!
