[b]favorite casas / fuckclubs by: (1) number of chicas, and (2) number of fichas[/b]
all girls are credited to the original club i found them in. follow-up fichas for these same girls in different clubs may look kind of odd as a result. as example, results for sicosis reads 0 girls and 2 fichas because little alexandra i first found in alondras and tiny mariela in 3 star, yet in follow up sessions i found both girls here.
also, chicas that were paid for but never fucked i did not include in any of my lists, including some follow-up sessions (eg, 4th ficha with brixi). there were more than a handful, perhaps up to a dozen, i walked out on in anger and/or disgust -- but they were the exception, not the norm.

comments: touch me (10 chicas) staged a surprising comeback in the late stages, surpassing 3 star (9 chicas) for most chicas taken down. but, in my evalution, the number of fichas speak louder for 3 star kicked touch me out of the park here, 40 fichas and 17 fichas respectively. 3 star came up with three chicas that made my top 10 list -- andrea, mariela and lucy. owner and operator of 3 star, lord byron, deserves all the credit for running an awesome show i returned to time and time again to satisfy my carnal lusts. so much so that in the last three weeks of my stay i purposely changed hotels to be only four blocks away from both 3 star and touch me -- to live there forever would be a dream come true!
the rise of touch me to make the favorite establishments list is very funny to me as i initially found it quite shocking to my senses, as first detailed in post number 182 way back on april 30 (sentiment recently shared by manwithnoname in post 560). but man did i come to love this place. like many other establishments there were ‘dry’ periods when nothing but uglies and fatties were present for weeks on end, but there are some periods of extreme value when super-hot chicas put themselves on display for a mere 700 pennies.
the two clubs of the la luna complex -- coco bongos and son cubano -- would be my third favorite destination with its combined 8 chicas and 13 fichas. i will forever remember coco bongos for finding 19 year young samira -- little did i realize the kind of incendiary sex i was in for when i cautiously selected her for the first ficha! she took everything to a completely new level for me, changing both my sexual habits in bed and performance expectations. to any future isger (or non-isger) that finds this part-time freelancer in a club you are truly a lucky man.
both cheers (5 chicas, 6 fichas) and 270 la nina (4 chicas, 9 fichas) jumped ahead in the early days but fell behind in the middle stages of my five month term in quito. only one chica, the incredible sweet july of 270 la nina, who took 6 fichas out of 9, managed to stay in mind until the end.
café rojo and club 11-79 remain at the top of my favorite list as well, both racking up 7 fichas each. the outstanding chicas being dominique in rojo and a return to samira in club 11-79.
[b]comparing "central" to "north" and "south" quito club results:[/b]
of the options in central that we know of i bedded 48 chicas.
of the options in south quito that we know of i creamed 15 chicas.
of the options in north quito that we know of i fucked 10 chicas.
of the 70 or so club & casa options in quito to sink cock into, with their hundreds of available pussies for sale, i chose 32 of them to fuck in. thus some 54% of quito's clubs & casas i never purchased a single pussy.
[b]by price:[/b]
$6.50 clubs: 7 fichas = $45.50
$7 clubs: 88 fichas = $616
$8 clubs: 16 fichas = $128
$10 clubs: 21 fichas = $210
$15 clubs: 11 fichas = $165
$20 clubs: 8 fichas = $160
3 streetgirls = 3 fichas = $45
total expenditure on quito fichas: $1369.50 us.
easily double if not triple that for entry fees, beers, tipping for pictures, transport -- i.e., the typical research, development and exploration (rd&e) expenses.
from ecuador start to end, all expenses included -- hotel, food, drinks, chicas, volcano climbs, new camera, all misc, etc. -- i estimate spending approximately $8000 us. roughly $45 us per day.
[b]final days in quito & ecuador[/b]
tuesday (sept 12)
after working on updating the third capital investment report in the afternoon i took to café rojo in the evening in the distant hope of finding dominique. unbelievably, after her being gone from quito to her hometown of manabi for over two months, my luck was intact. as i walked in the door i spotted dominique talking to karen. bought a beer, sat. but i could not contain my trembling, heart-pounding desire for her. upon a second smile for me i waved her over, put $20 into her hands and into a room we went. her favorite is a room waaay in the back of the club, nice and quiet, away from the pounding music. perfect for concentrating on sexing a perfect ten.
she stripped down revealing the body i love so much, full natural breasts with heavenly curves. she warmed me up by sitting between my legs, giving me hot fuck-me stares, licking her lips, a few moan like “mmmmm”-s then started lunching on my cock. i laid back, trying to balance experiencing the pleasure and memorizing all the details of what could be my last ever session with her (my notes have already been mailed home, thus memory is what i am working on here).
needing to be inside her pussy she climbed on me for a bit of cowgirl, then wanting more leverage to fuck her like she needs to be fucked we moved into missionary. jesus christ this girl is tight. perhaps it was just my cock being over-sensitized from the workout vivian had given me earlier in the day, perhaps i am just becoming more aware of different things in bed, but i was surprised, caught off guard. this is my gorgeous dominique, i thought, as i slid the length of my cock in and out of her soul. she felt fantastic -- warm tight pussy around my cock, my hands to her breasts, my body pressed to hers, smelled fantastic (perfume mixing with body scent), sounded fantastic (breathing rhythmically).
put her feet over my shoulders and to my curiosity she quickly slipped out of the position. me standing on the floor, brought her pussy to the edge of the bed, her legs to the side, and fed her more inches, my paws grasping her jiggling tits in lustful love. brought one of her legs up to extend to the sky and view her pussy as i slid myself in, out. again, she slipped out of the position as if uncomfortable. curious, i did not press the issue, just happy to have her all to myself once again.
i climbed back on the bed and motioned for doggie. she declined, spoke a few sentences, asked if i understood. i nodded no. then she pointed to a new small scar a couple inches across her lower stomach. with her explaining it was then i understood. she had returned home to manabi for two months for an operation and she was still sensitive in recovering. not angry in the least i immediately understood this was going to be a ‘soft’ session. i re-mounted her in missionary, still trying to commit every thing about her to an eternal memory.
the first and last missionary mounts composed the majority of the session, alternating thrusts in speed, at times pushing pelvic bone to pelvic bone, holding, grinding. finally figured twenty minutes was approaching, made the mental note to myself that this would be the last few minutes in and with her of my life, built up the pace to breach the excitement level of orgasm and flooded my love into her fuck hole. wound down with a couple dozen post-orgasm strokes.
whew.
we wiped, dressed, she kissed me on the cheek, and we exited the room. finished my beer, made my notes, exited café rojo. though i do not recall now i undoubtedly hit 3 star for a couple of closing beers and hiked home.
wednesday (sept 13)
popped into touch me for a look. passed for the day. bussed it out to street gualaquiza casa for a look in this shithole. one petite was present other than hot fuck-sl*t milena. as milena took down a guy i contemplated the alternative petite. but to her credit milena exited the room after just six or seven minutes into the ficha, proof that she does her job well. that sealed the contract. wanting the surefire fuck i needed to add some more mileage in her pussy. 700 pennies exchanged.
this was a far better session than the first. this is one of those girls that kind of goes over the top, like a porn-performer on a kilogram of coke. but it is such a novel visual for me (in real life) that i got off on it -- at least this time around. i prefer this more than a “dead cattle” performance.
she goes at cock half crazed. licking balls, sliding tongue from base to tip, downing the shaft as if her throat is two feet deep -- no problem with rapidly and repeatedly downing length. she obviously understands that in putting out with energy gets most of her clients off quickly, gets her back into the main room to make more cash. she understands well, but i was not to be one of these clients.
again, like session one, before pussy entry she slid a second condom on me. i laughed, not caring in the least. in fact this place is such a shithole, and she is such an awesome ghetto-sl*t, in retrospect i even appreciated the gesture as an extra measure of safety (she gets a lot of action).
in missionary she holds her legs bent at the knee, to the sides of her chest, feet to the ceiling, pussy spread wide open for the viewing and fucking. climbed aboard and proceeded to thrust to my cock’s content. here she goes all out with the fuck faces, curling tongue around her lips, moaning, breathing, telling me she wants my cum, to shoot my cum in her. i slap her titties around as i beat her pussy in hard, forceful thrusts. lowered my chest to hers, both my hands cupping the sides of her head to continue burying my cock into her pussy.
this is the only chica i have ever let my face go twisted with sexual lust, aggressiveness, teeth clenched directly to her face. she goes all out without reservation so i do the same.
jumped off the bed, spread her legs and re-entered. here i was surprised because the first session she only allowed me missionary. threw her legs to the side for more entry. back on the mattress turned her ass to me in doggie, grabbed her hips, buried myself and groped titties, looking into her narrowed-sl*t eyes, at her face, in the mirror in front of us.
after a few minutes of this she wanted a break to catch her breath. gave her twenty seconds then re-mounted in missionary. spun her back into doggie, having to continuously grab my undershirt to use as a towel to wipe away the perspiration from my forehead dripping onto her. then pushed her stomach to the bed and started repeatedly growling “you are such a good sl*t!!” as i used the bounce of the bed to drill into her pussy between her ass cheeks. built up the pace to blow an ‘angry’, lusting load of cum into her sl*tty hole.
fuck yes. caught my breath, wiped myself dry, dressed, and thanked her for the workout. ah, a girl like this comes in so handy some days.
over to café rojo. no dominique. shit. karen passed through the room once then disappeared for the rest of the night. as the place was obviously winding down i moved on to 3 star. tried a second round with patricia. unfortunately, during an internet break, with news from back home i found myself increasingly pre-occupied in thought and, for the second time, had to write off the ficha with her. dammit! nothing worse than having a hot, petite chica spread before you and not being able to fuck her. i knew immediately it was going to be a write-off when she bypassed the introductory bj and tried to mount me cowgirl. sighed, tried to stroke myself stiff, then threw in the towel. too much blood in the brain to get the cock stiff. finished off the night with a couple more beers.
thursday (sept 14)
hiked up to touch me. okay. i needed a small bodied, petite, curvy chica with big tits that gives a blowjob -- to erase all thought. joked with pretty mary-evelyn sitting beside me for a bit (she yawns so i say to her “ugh! how boring huh?! work! work! work!”) but only one fit the bill: violetta. 700 pennies. let’s fuck. this little flatdog bed-bouncing maneuver i discovered with vivian works awesome in blowing a forceful load. love groping her big, swaying titties. exited touch me at 4:10pm.
ok. this is my last day. where to next? north quito. i need to fuck the toothpick slender chica in sicosos. 7:30pm. oh, for jesus christ’s sake. there are only five guys in the bar but do you think i can get her alone long enough to slip $8 into her hands?! arrgh!! left after one beer and an hour.
to kassandras by 8:50pm. maybe, just maybe, i can find her. i was in luck. first chica i spot walking in the door to give me a smile is 18 year young, hot negrita camilla of cali, columbia. purrrrrfect.
i said i might re-fuck camilla in my last post. turns out it was just a different camilla, that’s all.
she came over to me within sixty seconds. no hesitation. 1000 pennies exchanged. to a room.
stripped down. she has smallish breasts. but the body is the best i have seen on a negrita in all my time in quito. such is the wonder of nature that 18 year pussies bring to the table.
blowjob. cowgirl. doggie. missionary. feet over shoulders. i was struggling with this one to stay hard, still too much thought from yesterday seeping through. fucking hell. so i purposefully took myself to orgasm early lest i find myself in the position of having to stroke myself stiff to no avail in between position changes. i wanted to cum in this fine-bodied 18 year old -- and i did. finally i took down this chica i first saw way back on july 24. finished my beer. exited kassandras by 9:28pm.
taxied back to 3 star for $3, 10pm. surveyed the room during a beer. ah, andrea-22 is here. and she is getting a rise. i can feel my heart beating, body craving in anticipation. i take the appropriate time to recharge with some beers. in due time i wave her over. explain this is my last night in quito. let her hold my gatito one last time. then i fucked her, her mouth to mine, my cock to her pussy, for three more fichas. during the last, in position change, i again lost stiffness. as she lay before me i, with evil purpose, removed the condom, stroked myself stiff easily, and re-entered her skin on skin. after a few minutes of this she became conscious of what i had done, was alarmed, asked me why. at her urging i tried slipping on a new sheath and get myself stiff but it was no good. knowing i had reached the end of the line i threw in the towel and called it a night. dressed, threw down the cash for the extra two fichas, smooched her on the cheek, exited the room.
back downstairs i finished my beer. got up, walked to individual employees and shook their hands, particularly the microphone announcer who is always smiles and handshakes every time he sees me, many times introducing me to the room when i walk in the door (as he loves to do with other foreigners, bobisee getting the same treatment).
goodbye 3 star.
friday (sept 15)
finished packing my bag. to the bus terminal. to banos to eye-witness the destruction of volcan tungurahua’s recent july and august eruptions.
the volcano itself is curiously quiet today. no explosions. no ash clouds. not a peep. some vulcanologists suspect the crater hole is plugged, currently accumulating lava underneath for an even greater future explosion. i asked three guide shops about the volcano’s status, a possible climb to the crater. i was wondering how much the landscape would be changed between my climb five months ago and today.
one guide shop i used to help me scale cotopaxi’s glacier advised me the military/police would probably not allow me access to the trail up (if they saw me). noted. also advised me the refugio at 3800 meters was destroyed. noted. also advised the trail to the crater was erased due to the lava eruption. noted. also advised the top 500 meters of the cone is covered in snow, that i would need crampons and an ice axe to scale to the summit. noted.
saturday (sept 16)
i opted, instead of a potential climb to the crater, to walk around the volcano’s base. during august’s violent lava eruption the volcano killed five people, with 60 others still missing, leaving 5000 homeless, wiped out a dozen villages. i walked up a lahar (landslide) that had obviously buried a handful of homes, roofs and tree trunks sticking out from underneath chunks of (still) cooling, steaming lava.
stumbled onto the banos-riobamba road. thought if i could circle around the volcano’s base to its eruptive side to get a look at the destruction it would be an incredible visual. began walking. some four hours later, maybe some 10-12 kilometers, after passing three other significant lahars, many more buried homes, i came to a point where the road was completely gone. the small walking trail people had previously used to escape was now so eroded and exposed by wind and rain (a sheer bank some 50 meters down) that i gave up the task. the ash was thick everywhere on the bits of road still present, trees and plants covered. ash up to almost a foot thick on house rooftops that had not caved in due to the increased weight.
one lahar on the way was 200 to 300 meters across, completely wiped out the highway. all the debris hurled into the river below and smashed on the opposite side of the valley. for those living on the opposite side of the valley it must have been quite the viewing experience!
and this was the ‘safe side’ of the volcano! the eruptive side, the nw flank, must be completely annihilated of all life and habitation.
some 5 to 6 kilometers into the walk around the base i could see smoke up ahead. thought it was a fire, people burning debris. when i came closer i walked through the trees, farther down into the valley, to get a closer look at the river. this was no fire. it was a volcanic vent on the side of the river, perhaps just underneath the river, flaring up. because i was still some 7-800 meters away, unable to get closer (down the cliff) i watched it from afar, but was unable to determine if it was a lava vent or simply hot gases.
along the edge of the river something was pouring out at intervals into the river, causing the river to bubble and steam violently. i nixed the possibility of it being hot mud because it did not discolor the river water. i suspected it to be lava but because of the thick clouds of steam could not determine for sure.
took some film and movie footage of the vent, then made my way back to banos in time for a late afternoon cloud-clearing of the cone. like clockwork the cone almost-always clears of clouds between 4 and 6pm. it did so again.
some snow on the peak, sure, but not enough to warrant crampons and an ice axe. i could still see the refugio standing, but reasoned if the houses down here sustained so much damage on the ‘safe side’ of the volcano, the refugio at 3800 meters, some 4-500 meters off a direct lava path, had to sustain significant damage via incandescent projectiles. with glass windows blown out by explosions, there is probably two-plus feet of ash in the building. using it as shelter from the night time precipitation and wind would be useless.
lastly, a climb to the crater was out of the question. the nw flank and a large part of the n flank was covered in smoking, cooling black lava. the path where the trail had once been, at about 4800 meters, was covered over and caked in black lava. a climb would be absolutely impossible. i had made the right call in waiting to survey the changes from afar.
at 6:15pm, in increasing darkness, i said goodbye to the volcano that provided me with one of the most definitive moments of my life. an hour on top of her exploding crater all by myself -- and she let me live.
sunday (sept 17)
bussed from banos to riobamba to cuenca to loja, some 14 hours total. some couple hours out of cuenca, on the way to loja, all i could think was “fuck me. i am in the middle of nowhere.” -- watching the peaks of ecuador recede into the distance.
the memories of so many women at times flooding through my mind, bringing smiles to my face, sometimes stabbing at my chest because i will see them no more. it is done.
i am in the city of loja now. city of lucy alvarez. the thought of her here, in my midst, but being out of reach is like a bolt screwing into my head, constantly nagging me. she is one girl i never got the cell phone number of. oh well. perhaps it is a good thing. should i see her in the street i might lose my mind, get down on my knees and propose everlasting marriage in the presence of her beauty. it is best i do not see her in light of a scenario of sweet chica withdrawal.
[b]goodbyes to isgers --[/b]

lastly, to el huevon, who i just have to quote publicly from two private messages because his praising is so flattering to self: “geezus tung, you've left an everlasting mark on the isg board with your incredibly detailed, well-written, and fun-as-hell reports. and with some incredible pics, too!” and “you are making isg history!” and “i turn on my computer, clicking my way to the isg wondering all the while: "what the hell is tungurahua up to now??" and “your saga is a diary like none other, and i often chuckle out loud while reading it. endlessly entertaining.” and “you're racking up a score and leaving a legacy that will live on the board long after you move onto something else.”
what inspiring commentary! thanks el huevon!
-- and to all i did not communicate directly with during my time here but have shared information. big thanks also to the original pioneers of the quito board for getting me started and making my stay enjoyable. it has been a blast. this truly has been a learning experience for me, both in sexual and literal expression. i have had a great time.
looks like interest in quito picked up too. in some four years (may 13, 2002) from the quito board creation there were 181 posts prior to my arrival. five months later i am leaving at post 569. excellent! when i am an old man i hope i will be able to look back here and review with fond memory.
until then i will check the quito board in the months ahead to review posts, updates, sentiment. good luck to all !
[b]epilogue[/b]
i came from the jungle of peru’s amazon basin into ecuador six months ago thinking i would stay three weeks. tops. looking to climb some volcanos, to rest, relax, recover in the city of quito between climbs.
i am on my way back to the jungle. back into the heart of darkness. i will go much farther into the middle of nowhere before i break out of the amazon basin on the atlantic coast in three to five month’s time.
it has been a grand journey thus far. unexpected twists, turns, delights, ecstasies, challenges. i don’t know if i am going to live through this south american journey but i refuse to back down in continuing to up the ante in thrill-seeking.
and now this tungurahua -- when it comes to isg activity -- like his volcanic lady love in banos, is going to sleep.
adios, adieu and goodbye.
