Ins and Outs of the Sex Trade in Puerto Vallarta
Is it safe?

The chicas on the whole are just like your neighbors or acquaintences you meet in the bar back home but the difference is that this trade supports her family and is accepted as a fact of life. Most all of the girls will not participate in unsafe sex and provide the condom for your protection. She doesn't want to get sick and lose work and of course you don't want to take anything back home with you. If you are out on the town, take a taxi. It will cost 40 Pesos or less to go from your hotel to the Alamo or any of the Gentlemen's Clubs and the driver will deliver you safely and if you get one that understands English, he will interpret for you. If the driver goes into the club or hotel with you, buy him a beer and when he takes you back to your hotel, tip him generously. Most are very proud and will protest but thank them with a generous tip.

Day tripping to the Alamo is ok before evening because a few of the girls come in at noon. If maximum selection is desired, after 5 is best. Many crewmen from the cruise ships come in the afternoon. There is always be someone to play pool with.

If you drink beer expect to pay about 12 Pesos for a beer. If you are a mixed drinker, Raqual, the manager, at the Alamo makes stiff drinks. Don't worry because your cabbie knows where to take you in case you don't remember. Print this page and Raqual will interpret it for you....she helped me create this form. Don't expect the girls to know anymore English than you know Spanish. It is traditional to buy a drink for the chica of your choice.

The cabbies will look out for your safety just like the management at the Alamo Hotel. Raquel will call the Police quickly if someone comes in looking for trouble. Troublemakers won't get a chance to hassle you.
