Most of these meetings are held in English. Here's AA's official website and here's information about meetings in Lima. You can also find contact information on their site.
There are many stories out there from men and women who have recovered from alcoholism. The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is by far the most famous. Here's a blog written by a recovering alcoholic called Essentials of Recovery.
CUSCO
I found 2 Facebook pages for Cusco and have organized the information from them below. Please try all numbers and addresses until you find help. All the information that I found was in Spanish. I have not been able to find any meetings in English, however, still contact them as they might be able to put you in touch with someone who speaks English. Al-Anon

ReplyDeleteThe house on Ricardo Palma was not hosting AA meetings when I checked it in July 2008, so check before you go.
ReplyDeletehi! does anyone know of Alanon in Piura?
ReplyDeleteNo, sorry, but I bet if you contacted the ones in Lima they might know.
ReplyDeletedoes anyone know of any AA meetings held in Trujillo or nearby. really in need of a meeting!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, try checking with the places in Lima. They might know.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in Peru July 2-19, 2010, and am looking for meetings. I contacted intergroup in Lima, but I may not hear from them before I leave. From what I've read this meeting list isn't current? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis info is current as of mid May, I suggest you contact John, onfritz@live.com . He should be able to help you out.
ReplyDeleteHola, thanks for your time putting this list together. Are the meetings you've listed here english or spanish speaking? I have tried to email the intergroup office, but no response. Maybe because i don't speak spanish?! Please let me know.
ReplyDeletethanks
They should all be in English. Maybe try calling another group?
ReplyDeleteI will be in Miraflores in May and would like a recommendation on an English speaking meeting. Can anyone suggest a meeting and know their times?
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple in Miraflores. Look at the first three listings.
ReplyDeleteAre the first three meetings still going on in Miraflores? Is the Fatima Catholic Church still meeting? Please advise.

Thank you so much for posting all of this. Here is an update as of today, June 21, 2012.
ReplyDeleteThis is an English speaking meeting
GOOD SHEPHERD (GRUPO AA in English).
Adress: Av. Santa Cruz 491 MIRAFLORES /
Contact: Bob D Telephone:. 4411947 scotrdc@yahoo.com Tuesday and Thursday 7.00pm to 8.00 pm
Carmelitas Catholic Church: The info on this is totally correct, however, it is not an English speaking meeting. This should not stop anyone from going, as the group is very welcoming and understanding, and many members do speak and uderstand English, but the meeting is in Spanish.
Av Ricardo Palma 1020 Miraflores: This address no longer exists, I beleive. I searched for it for quite some time, but 1018 and 1022 are the only addresses. the building may have been torn down. This was somewhat confirmed by some Carmelitas members.
In my experience? Go to Carmelitas and ask for info on other meetings. Very good people, as one can usually expect at an AA meeting.
Thanks! Just updated.
DeleteAre there any meeting near Machu Picchu or cusco? Will be there next June and planning ahead! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteTry contacting the head office.

Hi! I found a bunch of meetings. I updated the blog post. Please check it out. There are links to the FB pages. They aren't active, but I took all their info and put it in my post so it's easy to read. I hope you're able to find a meeting!
DeleteHi. Do you know of any meetings in Puno or Colca??
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry. I thought I replied. I would contact either https://www.aa.org/assets/en_US/f-59_gso-ctroffoverseas.pdf or http://aalima.org and see if they know.
