According to a taxi driver Lapinha has now closed in Belem. Locomotivo is still functioning though.
I was in Sao Luis last october/november, and definitely not much mulher around at that time of the year....well, at least not in those places they mentionned in this forum (calhau beach, projeto reviver).
nightlife was ok, some cool discos in the old town, but the atmosfere was more like "everyone knew everyone"; i enjoyed it but there was not much to bring home at night as i felt it kinda difficult to mix in...hopefully things change during these months!

[i]Bucanero,
Are most of the girls in Sao Luis BLACK? I do not find black girls attractive. But I don't mind dark skinned latina looking girls. But definitely not black girls.
Thanks. [/i][/QUOTE]Sao Luis is the centre of reggae in Brasil, does that answer your question.
Sao Luis has been a disappointment. Mostly black women mixed with Indian blood, leading to ugly girls with pot bellies. The hookers are very ugly and very ugly. The city is nice architecture, the beaches are not that good, with water that is not blue but brown.

Are you actually there now Rionut? Where did you get you info? Some older reports said the non pros were very friendly and easy to pick up.
tchau

seems Sao Luis isn't worth the travel if you're looking for hookers. Does anyone have any positive experience to report from Sao Luis?
This is from my experience in Sao Luis during mid 2002. The city has been growing at a fast pace and many noticeable changes have been taking place over the years. The city looks cleaner and more tourist friendly than 5 years ago. Estimates have shown around 1 million people living on the island but you can still feel the small city environment this place has. I've been to Sao Luis 3 times before, first back in 1995, then 1999, and 2002. Each time I return it gets better and more interesting than before. I hope the information I post here could still be useful as future reference. The best time to visit Sao Luis is from the middle towards the end of June, when many shows and festivals take place throughout the city everyday of the week. To get around the city isn't very hard, taxi drivers in general know where everything is located, nomatter what you're looking for. I on the other hand, with good knowledge of the place prefer to rent my own vehicle, because I save much more this way, I am constantly on the move there. Gasoline is a bit expensive going around $R2.70 a liter. Localiza, located at the local airport, has the best rental deals and all new cars. All I needed to rent a car was my american driver's licence and my credit card. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Sao Luis, try to visit the Parque dos Lencois Maranhense(http://www.turismo.ma.gov.br/en/index.html), a beautiful place with sand dunes less than 2 hours drive away from Sao Luis, good to relax and take a girl you really enjoy having with you.
Women of Sao Luis in general are not very atractive, however you do find many mixed women with nice brown skin and well curved bodies, the face doesnt always match, but nothing a few beers can't fix. It is a fact that Rio and Sao Paulo has better quality of females, but what you end up spending on a week in cities like Sao Luis, Belem or Teresina is equivalent to couple days in a larger city. Regular women in general demand some time to pickup and sometimes they act very shy for their age. I didn't have much time to waste so I just decided to explore the brothels around the city. Basically, entry is free and drinks go from R$2 for beer to R$10 and up for whisky and other warm drinks. Women costs vary with the location of the brothels and each woman has her own destinct price. The following locations are worth looking around to have some fun:
House Beach- This Place is located in front of Praia do Olho D'agua (Olho D'agua Beach), most likely the best brothel I saw in the city with many good looking prostitutes from places as far as Salvador, Teresina, and Belem. There you can enjoy strip shows and awesome lap dances. If you don't first get greeted by a woman, you can ask the bartender to call any lady you like to sit at your table and give you the opportunity to see her from a closer view. The women had a good attitude and didn't hesitate to show me other ladies I seemed to like, they would usually ask for some pricey beverage, which insured she wasn't going to leave my table. If you don't speak portuguese very well things are even better, less time to talk the sooner you can get her to bed and the less you spend on drinks. Let her know you would like to take her to a motel (numerous places like this are around the city with rooms going from R$15 to R$25 a hour with everything you need to make your night pleasant). The ladies at House Beach usually will start asking for R$100 to R$150 (US$1 = R$2.90). All prices are negociable and I easily turned R$120 into R$90 and R$100 into R$60 the second time there. That's when Portuguese comes in handy in Brazil, to bargain prices. There is a small bar fine to take the lady out, usually 10 reais.
The others places I went are located in a dark street by the Retorno da Forquilha next to Guajajaras Avenue. There were 3 brothels located by eachother mostly used by locals, so expect better attention as a foreigner. I remember the ones at the corners were called Climax and Play Boss, with some good looking women. The one in the middle I don't remember the name looked more like a regular house, had very ugly women I wouldn't mess with for free. Women in all 3 were cheaper compared to House Beach, but not a very big difference, usual prices went from R$50 to R$100. Some offered their own room to use with their women, but stay away from those because they were very unconfortable. Never pay them before the sex, if they complain too much you should probably find another woman. You can usually screw them for 2 hours, maybe 3 if you show motivation. Some will have anal sex. All 3 places had bar fines for the usual R$10.
If you really wanna save your money go to Choperia Marcelo, a bar located by Retorno Da Forquilha as well, with a live band playing local music like Forro and Brega. Every night from 9pm you'll find a variety of cheap prostitutes, usually sitting in groups at their own tables dancing alone, waiting for someone to make a move. Some really had fine bodies, but they usually get picked up first, so don't waste time bacuse it's first come first serve basis. Average prices went from R$20 to R$50, you usually get what you pay for. Be sure you tell her which motel you wanna take her to before you leave the bar, that way she does't worry too much about her safety. Again, never pay before sex.
Guajajaras Avenue has the streetwalkers standing at the sidewalks between 7pm and 10pm everyday. I never messed with those, there were too many transexual dudes around and I don't go that way.
Around Porto Do Itaqui, the city's main port, there is a red light district, but women there are overpriced because their costumers are mostly foreign sailors and the women became spoiled by the easy cash.
In conclusion, if you don't have much time to spend in Sao Luis to meet regular girls, the brothels are defenately the way to go. Regardless of what they do, the women were warm and welcoming like most brazilian girls. They were clean for the most part, always showered at the motel before having sex and always required me to wear condoms. I usually got the cell numbers from the ones I enjoyed and would invite them to go out to the beach, eat out, and do something fun before ending up having sex for free or a very low price again. The reason I will always go back to Brazil is because they have the most sensual women the world has to offer. I will be returning to Sao Luis next year, and will visit Teresina and Fortaleza also, which I'm very anxious about. Will keep you posted when it happens.
Yes, I went to these places too and thought the quality was amazingly worse than Rio de Janeiro. It was almost frightening to see a woman in her 30s offering herself to me, with a small belly bigger than mine. There were cuter ones, but the selection is so small, and they are very professional.
The street hookers are horrific, many of them missing teeth and acting very "whorish" to anyone who passes by.
It is a world apart from the women of Rio de Janeiro. I believe all the nice looking prostitutes soon depart for places like Fortaleza and Rio.
Pro and Airforce bum
I enjoyed your informative reports.
Thank you.
Sperto
When traveling to the marvelous Lencois Maranheses dunes (Barreirinas) I came to Sao Luis, I found nice street action in the old town district at street cafes and restaurants near Rua Portugal. I cannot agree that the girls are so ugly there, just they are more black...
RioNut, your post of 7-22-03 was racist and offensive.
São Luíz.
Nothing really new, just some updates.
Small strip-clubs/brothels:
Three of them located close to Retorno da Forquilha.
- Playboss: 50 reais for the girl and 20 reais for the room.
- Privé: 50 reais for the girl and 20 reais for the room.
- Climax: 50 reais for the girl, 25 reais bar-fine and 15 reais for a nearby motel.
Very low standard on the girls. I couldn´t find any girl at these places that appealed to me.
Reviver:
In the small bars and in the streets around the Praça in the historical center, Reviver, you´ll find lots of pro´s. The average standard is quite normal, but there are also some exceptionally beautiful girls to be found. Prices from 40 reais. I enjoyed Reviver a lot. Also nice non-pro´s that are willingly.
Beach:
On weekends at Praia Ponto dÁreia, Praça do Sol, there are many pro´s to be found strolling around. Many of them work at Reviver in the evening.
PRO´S AND NON-PRO´S:
There are several Forró-places in Sao Luiz.
- Chopperia do Marcelo: Mixture of pro´s and non-pro´s. I found the pro´s to be ugly and the non-pro´s mostly old, ugly, fat and small-titted.
- Forró do Arnildo: Again a mixture of pro´s and non-pro´s. The standard on the girls were better.
- Studio 7: A fancy discotheque. The most beautiful girls I saw in Sao Luiz. Quite a young crowd. I found it interesting that several of these, overclass-looking, girls actually were students offering their services. To avoid making a fool of yourself ask the segurança which of the girls that are pro´s. Quite hard to see the difference in Studio 7.
Hotel: Lord Hotel, Rua do Nazaré 258. Next to Reviver. Simple but nice rooms from 25-38 reais. 10 reais extra when a girl visits you.
Cheers
Sperto, what month has you been in Sao Luis? i have the impression that Sao Luis offers some choice only during high season; i was there in october and it was dead. The bars near the beach: dead....Reviver: only some families, groups of locals, 2 pros, rest of the town: dead.
Paolino, i think Sperto is right now in Sao Luis (very high season) ; i was there at the end of winter season (July) and it was quite good, but it was holidays in Brasil : surely October was worst ... So when i was there, nothing to see of course with SP, but it was refreshing, quite lively and some nice and pretty freelancers were to be found in historic area ;
Anyway Sperto's update make me feel like like going back !!!!
Thanks for it Sperto .
I just left Sao Luiz.
