Tungurahua in Buenos Aires: April 2007
In month 16 of my South American tour -- 4 in Peru, 6 in Ecuador, 3 in Bolivia, 3 in Chile, a week in southern Argentina (to date).
Hiked the Torres del Paine circuit a few days ago: 138.8 km in 37.5 hours over 5.5 days. I am now in Ushuaia. From here I will turn northward and expect to be in Buenos Aires sometime mid-April (as a best guess).
As everyone on the road, the net, the ISG board, seems to rave about BA who knows how long I will stay. I did an unexpected five months in Quito simply because of the exquisite pussy. If BA is anything like Quito for price and quality I am game -- at least for a couple of weeks.
I am not really sure what to expect by way of response, if any, but I thought I would put up a message just for the fun of it.
To provide some context my ISG-resume is located on the Quito board in the Ecuador forum. These four links sum up my contributions:

Buenos Aires Board Review
[b]Introduction[/b]
I have been reading the Argentine Private board for two full days now. Initially printed off Jackson's Club & Boliches list, then the Private Apartments list, and started adding my own notes from each individual club and apartment board. Mostly adding prices quoted by members on previous visits: cover (if any), drinks (me, chicas), fuck quotes, fuck exit-fines, rooms on premise (if any), nearby hotels (if any), and general observations (such as a lot of positive/negative posts).
My background in mongering comes from Quito (ISG Posts), La Paz (ISG posts) and China (99-2000). These experiences provide my perspective and give insight to my B.A. comments.
Additional background: by nature I am a value-shopper when it comes to pussy, scouting for the highest quality for the lowest possible dollar amount. Mongering in B.A. is not a necessity, only a travel bonus as I make my way around the South American continent for 2 to 2.5 years.
I plan to hang in B.A. for a month simply because it is a nice city to break up the ‘monotony’ of continuous travel, to catch my breath before the next push. If I can ‘get some’ while here, great. If not, no problem.
I type this post not so much for anyone else’s benefit but to attain perspective on the B.A. scene. To chop it up into easily digestible pieces to help me determine a course of action. To get an overview of the scene and what to expect. It is not the “final word” -- quite the opposite, it is an introduction to what is going to be evolving thought over time. The numbers aren’t going to be perfect (duplicate club names, etc.) but at this point of the game close enough.
If a reader finds a mistake please feel free to correct me. Or just feel free to comment should you so desire.
So what do I like? Eighteen & nineteen: sweet dreams are made of these. However I will go up to 25, even 30 in very rare cases. Slender is key. Pretty face is key. Full breasts are nice but not essential. A small tight ass is everything. Long slender fingers (very feminine) and toes are appreciated. Long hair is preferred but not essential.
As for the act, conventional is fine by me (with cbj or bbbj, either goes). Photos are usually the only ‘extra’ I like to attain. As a more developed market I guess I will see if B.A. is closed to this option more so than Quito. Anal: while I love watching the sanitized porn version, in real life I am not a big fan of seeing my dick caked in shit.
Escort websites aren’t my thing as I like to drink beers during a jungle hunt. I don’t care much for streetwalkers as I perceive increased risk here, health and/or security wise, plus I like the presence of a (hopefully objective) third-party (club owner, mamasan) in case a dispute arises.
My thoughts on the boliches and apartments …
[b]B.A. Clubs & Boliches[/b]
I count 97 club/boliche options on Jackson’s list.
Of the 97 listed, 23 clubs have a green checkmark by them.
Of the 97 listed, 30 clubs have a red X by them. 5 of these have a board with commentary usually giving more in-depth reasons why the X, minus the odd visitor(s) who likes the place.
Of the 44 unmarked clubs (no red X or green checkmark): 7 of the clubs have a board to provide some member commentary, 36 have no boards, 1 is closed (Play Women). Of the 36 with no boards there is little information other than what Jackson comments, usually an address, phone number, website addy, sometimes only two cross streets.
I find this of interest as I expected B.A. to be a highly defined market which, at first glance, overwhelmed me with its abundance of club names and boards. But, like my initial observations in Quito, the usual one to two week vacationers repeatedly visit the same clubs.
With only a handful of exceptions all the boliches routinely start at 150 pesos for a fuck (subject to one's sobriety and negotiating skills) -- going up to 300 pesos. Black’s being the only one that can apparently exceed 300 pesos. Then you add on extra night costs like the bar exit-fine, cover charge, subsequent drinks, pre-screening chica drink(s), taxis, transitorio (i.e., a fuck hotel) charge.
Dickhead broke down the math one time in Catto’s: 145 chica, 12 taxi, 15 transitorio, 50 drinks (15 for you, 35 for her), 5 tip waiter = 227 pesos. Time appears to be 1 to 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your negotiation. Thus, including overhead costs your 145 pesos chica ($48.33US) is 227 pesos ($75.66US), a markup of 56%.
Of the boliches, places without a cover appeal to me. Like Catto’s which is no cover, a beer is 15 pesos, roughly what I would pay back home in a nightclub. Cutty Sark appeals, no cover 20 pesos for a drink. Hook same deal, no cover, 20 pesos for a drink.
30 pesos ($10US) is getting pretty pricy for a beer. I’ll pay to drink a $10 beer on the 87th floor of the Jin Mao skyscraper in Shanghai but at street level in B.A.? Even with fine looking pussy about I say: ugh!
It appears I am not alone with this opinion. Some noteworthy bits from board members include Exon123 who wrote paying 40 pesos for a chica drink is more money than the most expensive steak in town. DaddyRulz says of La Lopez drink prices that it reaffirms his decision not to hunt in La Recoleta until Exon kicks the bucket and he inherits the big bucks (even with the cool La Lopez urinals). Dirk Diggler: avoid any Recoleta village vicinity club, except maybe New Port occasionally (independent chicas) and Madahos (top quality, legitimately run).
Places like Catto’s, Cutty Sark, Hook at least give me the option to look around the club instead of immediately handing over dollars at the door. I never paid to enter the high end clubs in Quito and I doubt I will start here. 50 pesos ($16.66US) to get in the door at Black’s?! Ouch. In South America shouldn't I be fucking for 50 pesos?! -- not getting a door ticket.
Skirting the limit of 30 pesos for entrance, other clubs that I find potentially interesting for a look at minimum are: Periplo (no cover, 25 peso drink), Oro (no cover, 10 pesos per drink, 90 pesos to fuck), Rio Cabana (drink 20 pesos), Salome (drink 10 pesos), Doly’s (15 peso entry 1 drink, 80 pesos to fuck 30 mins; might be still closed), Envidia (15 pesos entry 1 drink, 60 pesos to fuck 30 mins), Lola (15 pesos entry 1 drink, 60 pesos to fuck 30 mins), Espirtus Pub (15 pesos large 1 litre beer), Nuevo Estilo (25 pesos entry 1 drink, 10 pesos subsequent drinks).
The only exception I might make for paying 30 pesos is Cocodrilo, an after-hours option. But this is one of the boards I have yet to read in full -- as well as Black, Madaho, New Port, and Salome. I will get around to reading them soon enough, during a slow day/night.
[b]B.A. Apartments[/b]
I see that WorldTravel69 has been making apartment rounds the last couple days, updating information, so I will stay tuned to this.
Having read the apartment boards I like the pricing here, more agreeable to my senses. Reminiscent of Dickhead’s boliche math DaddyRulz recently typed on the Café Orleans board: “200 pesos, plus 50 for the transitorio next door, plus 6 or 7 for your drink. 250-260 for a nooner. Or one can go to a privado for 40-150 pesos total.”
This is without a doubt where I will be doing the bulk of my shopping while in B.A..

The boards have answered all my inquiries except one: how does one go about meeting the King (Jackson) and his court? I see local mongerers arrange a meet/social every so often, meals at Excedra, etc. I am not much of a card player, however, as my grandparents tortured me with playing cards in my youth. Any casual meals scheduled for the upcoming week?
