I was having dinner with one of my friends in Lima last month, and he told me, "You have to go to U'omo Spa. The service there is just like Relax y Vida."

Well, that's good enough for me, so I headed to Pueblo Libre one afternoon, found the address, and rang the bell.

U'omo Spa is new, and the facilities are well-kept and attractive. I met Luisa, the boss. She showed me around (as I said, in great shape). Each room has its own sauna and Jacuzzi. She told me the price (90 soles per hour plus tip), and I said, "OK, where's the girls?."

Luisa told me that they 0nly had two working early, and that I could make an appointment for 1:00 if I wanted. She also said that four more came on at 2:00 pm, and that it would be best if I came back then. I took her advice and went somewhere for a fantastic lunch, and then ran a few errands.

I called her at 4:00, and she said to come on down, the girls were there. At 4:30, I was buzzed in and greeted by four of the masajistas. This is where I noticed a difference from RyV. At Relax y Vida, they seem (in my opinion) to specialize in the 'college girl next door' look. Here at U'omo, three of the four seemed a little bit older (mid 20s) and had a more hooker-ish look to them. Not that that's bad; just different from RvY.

I chatted the four of them up for a while, and then settled on the youngest and blondest one, Luciana. I don't remember her age, but 20 seems about right. Luciana is pretty, has maybe a few more pounds on her than is absolutely necessary, and had a 'slutty' look to her. Call me shallow, but I like that.

We went in the room, and it was indeed very RyV-like. We kissed a little while she got me undressed and on the massage table. By the time she had me flip over she was naked and was very friendly. She offered for us to go in the sauna, but I told her to wait a bit. Out came the condom and she proceeded to give a fairly good blow job.

Before finishing, We went into the sauna, and after getting situated, the fondling and blowing resumed. At one point, I suggested that we take our relationship to the next step. She explained that sex was not allowed there (just like RyV), and I promised not to tell anyone. She asked how much I would tip her, and when I said "100", she said "Dollars?" I told her no, Soles, and she said that wasn't enough. It was enough for me, so I told her just to finish me orally, which she did -- with gusto. Later, I got the cream and soap treatment, and we then showered (the pressure and hot water were excellent).

We got dressed back in the massage room, and she let me get off a couple of photos. I don't remember exactly how much I tipped her, but I think that I gave her US$20 (60 Soles). The norm is 50 Soles, but I think I was short on Peruvian currency at the time.

Would I return to U'omo Spa? Yes. Was it 'just like' Relax y Vida? No. But it was close enough, and if I was in that end of town, I would not hesitate to drop in.

Here are two shots of Luciana:

 

RT here. Thanks, I guess.

Personally, I have no problem paying a small 'gringo tax'. I'm not thrilled with it, but it is part of the price of doing business.

I didn't see her US$100 request as a gringo tax, just an overpriced value on her services. Let's see... an excellent bowjob for free (standard 50 Sol tip), or a few minutes of uncomfortable sex in a hot sauna room for $100 -- it was a no brainer.

I am not even sure that I would have agreed to any more that 100 Soles -- many of the best escorts in Lima can be had for 150-180 Soles, and when you add in the 90 Sol house fee, that's what I would have been paying.

But I agree that paying more than the market dictates -- even if it is cheap for us as a visitor -- is not the right thing to do.
