Gay Meeting Places

Lima is one big gay cruising area; just watch out for the eye contact. These places listed below are not specifically gay meeting places but if you go to any of them keep your eyes peeled; they all have possibilities.

Parque Kennedy, Miraflores.
This park in the center of Miraflores and the streets surrounding it are cruisy, especially late evening but there have been some cases of guys being lured into a dark side street then attacked. There are also rent boys (known locally as fletes) here; ignore the temptations - there are far better options to meet guys at the discos or bars.

LarcoMar, Parque Salazar, Miraflores.
A spectacular entertainment and shopping complex built into the top of the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean and overlooked by the Marriott Hotel. There is a twelve-screen cinema, multiple-lane ten-pin bowling, Tony Romas, Dunkin Donuts and many other essentials to modern living. Nice place to have a beer watching the sun set over the Pacific (when it isn't cloudy).

Café Café, Mártir Olaya 250, Miraflores (street behind Cine Pacifico).
Popular cafe with tables on the pavement and inside. Great coffee, teas, ice-creams, sandwiches, drinks, meals. The chains under the tables are for attaching your handbag or back-pack.

Gay Beaches

There are no exclusively gay beaches but if you go to Playa Makaha and Playa Waikiki in Miraflores, and Playa Las Cascadas in Barranco you never know who you might meet. Watching the surf-boys doing it standing up amply compensates for having to lie on the hard pebble beach. Take sun-cream (factor 15 minimum); the sun is MUCH stronger than you think - even when it is cloudy. You are advised not to go in the water; apart from it being very cold, taking a dip is virtually guaranteed to have you poised over the potty for a couple of days.
