Cusco, the historic city of Peru
After visiting Machu Picchu, I was originally planning to go to the capital, Lima, and have some fun, but the train from Machu Picchu was stopped, and I ended up missing my flight to Lima, so I ended up wandering around Cusco in the midnight.

(Prologue) Stuck in Machu Picchu
It was the day we visited Machu Picchu early in the morning.

I returned to Aguas Calientes, the town at the foot of Machu Picchu, and arrived at the station at the time of my reserved train (around 1pm) to find the There were police officers (dressed like the riot police in Japan) lined up in front of the station gates, creating an ominous atmosphere. I asked someone nearby who spoke English what was going on, and they told me, โIt The railway staff don't seem to know what's going on either, so they don't have any information. The railway staff don't seem to know what's going on either, so they don't have any information.โ
There was a sign in Spanish issued by the railway company posted at the station gate, so I took a photo and translated it. It said, โWe have received information that a demonstration involving the placing of stones on the tracks is taking place in the service area, so service has been suspended. There is currently no indication of when service will resume.โ
The situation seemed quite chaotic, so I figured I'd need to be on the scene to get the latest information, so I decided to stay as close to the station gate as possible and wait there. My flight to Lima after returning to Cusco was just barely making it, so at this point I had no choice but to give up on going to Lima. I used my smartphone to cancel my flight to Lima and my accommodation (although it was the same day, so I almost didn't make it back). back).
I stood there waiting for about five hours. I think it was around 6pm. One of the police officers in front of the gate started speaking through a megaphone, and the crowd reacted with โoohsโ and โhuhs,โ but it was in Spanish so I couldn't. One of the police officers in front of the gate started speaking through a megaphone, and the crowd reacted with "oohs" and "huhs," but it was in Spanish so I couldn't understand a word.
Just as I was wondering what to do, I heard a voice speaking in Japanese from diagonally behind me. It turned out he was the guide accompanying the couple, and I gratefully joined in (the announcement wasn't I turned around and saw a Peruvian man explaining the announcement to a Japanese couple.) The announcement said that safety on the tracks had been confirmed, and that service would resume soon.
It seemed unlikely that service would even be able to resume that day, so this was a step forward. Then, after a while, another announcement came, and it seemed that Then, after a while, another announcement came, and it seemed that they would be calling out the type numbers of the original reserved tickets (probably starting with those with earlier reservations), and only those Then after a while, another announcement came, and it seemed that they would be calling out the type numbers of the original reserved tickets (probably starting with those with earlier reservations), and only those.
At first, the numbers were only given in Spanish, so I relied on the guide to figure it out, but towards the end they started calling out the numbers in English as well, and I started to feel like I could manage. My number was the second to be called out among the train companies I had booked with, and I managed to get through the gate on the first try.

Even inside the gate, there were still a lot of people, and the situation was unpredictable. Everyone was a little excited, and it felt a bit like something out of a panic movie (crowds stampeding onto an escape boat).
After asking people in line, I managed to find the line and boarded the train. Finally, the train started moving just after 8pm, and the passengers applauded.
Finally arrived in Cusco
Santutis Nigth club
On my way to Cusco, I was constantly worried about my arrival time. The only brothel area in Cusco was open until midnight, so I hoped to make it in time. ... But my wish was dashed, and I arrived in Cusco exactly at midnight.
Knowing it was hopeless, I took an Uber, still holding out the slightest hope that they might still be open after closing time. When I arrived, the gate was open, and I thought, โOh!โ However, it seemed to be to let the remaining customers out. When I asked the security guard at the gate if I could come in, he said, โNo, no.โ He turned me away.
[About the price].
Entrance Fee: 5 PEN (Peruvian Sol) (approx. 1.5 USD), Play Fee: 50 PEN (approx. 15 USD). Plus, a friend who'd been there said the girls were pretty decent.

After not being able to enter the brothel area, I got back into the Uber I'd taken and asked them to take me to the hotel, but I still felt unsatisfied, so I asked on a translation app, โDo you know of any places where I can hang out with women at this time?โ and they I still felt unsatisfied, but I still felt unsatisfied, so I asked on a translation app, โDo you know of any places where I can hang out with women at this time?.
The car was parked in front of a building on a main street in the suburbs. In front of the building there was a young man who worked as a pimp, and after talking to him, he let me inside. It seemed to be some kind of underground business, as the entrance was closed with a shutter and I entered through the shutter 's door. Inside, it was like a garage, and I passed parked cars and took the stairs to the second floor. As I went up the stairs, I could gradually hear what sounded like the sounds of a club.
When I went inside, it was like a small club. There was a bar counter and a sofa area, and about six girls were sitting or lying on the sofa area. Their looks were questionable, and they were all quite overweight. There weren't many girls to choose from, so I left the shop immediately.
[About the price].
I was told it would cost 50 PEN (approx. 1.5 USD) to play with a lady. The pimp then asked me, โHow much will you tip?โ, so I gave him 10 PEN (3 USD).

Underground bar #2
*The map pin points to the approximate location.
As I left the first shop, a pimp brought another pimp from another shop. This pimp spoke English, so I spoke to him in English. After walking down the main street for about five minutes, I arrived in front of a building. From the outside, it was also hard to tell it was a shop, so the pimp knocked on the iron door, had it opened, and I went inside.
This shop was also a normal building, but once I entered the second floor, I found a fairly spacious and stylish club-bar-like space. They weren't particularly high-quality, but there was one very beautiful lady. arrived, she was already drinking next to another male customer, so I couldn't speak to her.)
There was a staff member who spoke English, so I asked about the system, but it seemed like this was a place where the main focus was on drinking with a woman beside me, like a cabaret club, so when I asked, โDo they offer sex? beside me, like a cabaret club, so when I asked, โDo they offer sex?โ, I was told, โWell, basically, they don't, but... there are some ladies who are OK with being with a woman. 't, but... there are some ladies who are OK with being taken out. For example, that lady and that lady." Unfortunately, there weren't any ladies I particularly liked among those who were OK with being taken out, so I left the place after drinking about half the beer I had ordered. I decided to quietly go back to the hotel.
[About the price].
Beer was 10-20 PEN (approx. 3-6 USD), and if I drink with a lady by my side it's 50 PEN (approx. 15 USD yen). I didn't ask about the price for taking her out.
