Outside Lima

Here are some gay or gay-friendly places outside Lima that I know of personally or have been recommended to me. As everywhere in Peru discos don't really get started until nearly midnight.
In nearly every town or city in Peru the Plaza de Armas after 10 p.m. is cruisy. Local guys are usually friendly and can provide information on gay places. As always, take care, be cautious, and be safe. Please send me any information you can if you find anywhere new or visit any of the places listed below.

This gay-friendly hotel is 1235 km (nearly 800 miles) north of Lima near the border with Ecuador and is the place to go if you want a moderately-priced beach hotel that is really nice and peaceful. There is year-round sunshine, a practically deserted beach and clean ocean in which to swim. Take a high factor sun block, the sun is very strong here. I have stayed here on six occasions for a total of thirty days and swam naked in the sea nearly every day. You need to fly to Tumbes (one and a half hours) and the hotel will arrange to meet you if requested.
Room rate $25 per person per night (except festival holidays) includes continental breakfast. (20% discount for SAE members.) Other meals extra.
All rooms with private bathroom and hot water. Swimming pool, recreation area, bar, lounge with satellite TV. Hotel fronts directly onto the beach. Zorritos is a fishing village so you can have some excellent fish dishes in the hotel restaurant. Bruno is the hotel owner and manager; he speaks German and English as well as Spanish.
