Flying LIM-EWR in CO BusinessFirst as Star Alliance Gold members, we received an invitation to one of the two contract lounges at LIM — I think it was the "Sumaq" lounge.
There's a report at http://milepoint.com/forums/threads/g-lounge-lim.26416/ that a passenger who had a *G card and was flying coach received a lounge invitation upon check-in in at LIM.
We used the Sumaq lounge and found it pretty nice; there were showers, pisco at the bar, and plenty of Inca Kola available. (When we boarded the plane, our bags were searched for liquids and the Inca Kola we stashed from the lounge was thrown into a big plastic tub full of confiscated Inca Kola bottles.) These photos look familiar: http://boardingarea.com/blogs/rapidt...irport-lounge/.

Sumaq is indeed the one on the left. Both are run by the same company, Sumaq is the better of the two.

Flying out in Y on TACA (LIM-UIO) with a UA PG/*G card on Monday and hoping to have lounge access...hoping to have access to something in UIO, too (4-hour layover and then to BOG; nothing shown on *A website)...

Did you have to ask or show your *G card or was it automatic?

Upon arrival in UIO and presenting an Avianca BP for my onward flight, I asked a TACA agent standing nearby about a lounge invitation and he said to talk to Avianca or go to the lounge and have them call Avianca (guess they're not quite merged yet). The lounge concierge did just that and I am now sitting in the Sala VIP.

I was given the invite from UA. I am UA elite so I didn't need to show the card to get the invite. At the lounge only used the invite to gain entry.
Glad to see that you got lounge access in UIO. Easily the greatest perk of *G IMO
