Doesn`t anyone have info of this wonderful town !!!
I really would like to go there.
What's the scene like in Porto Alegre? Is it worth taking a side trip there? Any info would be appreciated.

Porto Alegre is my hometown, although I live overseas now. POA (as it's known) has a small scene, not really worth a trip all the way from Rio. On the one hand, the city has a reputation as having some of Brazil's most beautiful girls, because of all the European influences along with the usual Brazilian mix. On the other hand, most of the best girls head straight for Sampa or Rio. If you are lucky, you can find an up-and-comer (so to speak) before she heads north and doubnles her price. But you may as well just stay in Rio and pay the difference out of the plane ticket money that you are saving...
A quick survey of the scene.... Some saunas, but Sampa's are better. A huge SW scene right behind the rodovaria (on Voluntarios da Patria - "Volunta"), but pretty grim 3-4's who take you up to flea-bag fuck-houses. A pretty active outcall/garota de programma scene, but again..Sampa. Also a few nice strip clubs were you can basically fuck whatever you see on stage (Gruta Azul, Vermelho e Preto, 21),but again, Sampa has better on Rua Agusta. If I can be nostalgic for a second, POA back in the day had an internationally famous *****house - Monica's. Unfortunately, the day was 20 years ago!
I hate to knock my hometown, but for *****mongering, you are better off staying in Rio or going to Sao Paulo.

guri,
Thanks. Your information is very helpful.
The reason I was interested in POA in the first place is because of the "best looking girls" reputation. I am not looking for a big scene, just quality girls. And I hear that most POA girls are blue eyed blondes, the type I prefer. Also, I am hoping to find girls that are not jaded by the tourist scene. Based on this, do you still recommend that I pass up POA and head for Sampa? (Rio I will be visiting regardless).

xdude,
With your interrest for blond's/blue eyes I would recommend Grutta Azul if you go for POA. In SAO I would recommend either Bahamas or Cafe Photo. They are all three high end places, better than the Sao's Rua Augusta area (for blond's).

Is there still some action in the upper floors of "Galeria do Rosario" ?
scorpio:
Wow! You're dating yourself.... ;-) Nope, it's been cleaned up. But if you open up Zero Hora (the local newspaper) there are plenty of ads for prives (or girls who advertise "tenho apartamento"), which is what Rosario used to have.
Guri
please, i haven't heard of sampa, could you please tell me more about the location and best way to get there (from rio or p.a.)?
thanks!

Tomb--Where do you get the BOOK from?ln a store?
dog;
What BOOK?
Tomb-l think you already answered my question in Rio Forum that the BOOK is carried by most escort agencies for clients to brows and pick the callgirl they like to spend time with.You just gave me so much information and once again thanks for all the info
Wonders never cease... an honest on-line agency in Porto Alegre.
It's run by a girl named Amanda, who apparently got together a few of her free-lance friends, a good photographer, and somebody who knows HTML... voila!:

For once, what you see is what you get, they don't bait-and-switch. They even managed to hook up a discount at a "participating" motel. Also, they are an exception to my rule of "never call an agency that gives uses a cell phone as their main number"... the 9 in Amanda's phone # is the giveaway, but in this case it's OK.
Enjoy!

RE: GURI -
Definitely agree with Guri that POA is NOT the place for *****mongering. Donīt get me wrong, POA has its fair availability of clubs, sauna and to go services. However, in terms of the quality and diversity of the girls, it is not at par with SP or Rio as stated in many of the prior postings. If SP and Rio gets a rating of 10, POA at best gets 4.5-5 on my book. As to pricing, it is really no different from Rio. So, you are getting half of the value at the same price. Your call.
However, POA has lots of superior quality relative to Rio or SP. First off, the place is clean, neat and safe. There is not hustlers at the airport getting you into a cab or get you to change dollars into Reias. Bus drivers drive their vehicle real safe and slow, not like Rio when you feel like sitting in a race car. The suburb off downtown is totally nice, very much reminds me of Moraga or Olinda or even better, for those of you from the Bay Area. The quality of food may be lacking, I am biased since seafood and fresh veggies is my main staple. However, for meat lover, the food must be fantastic. I had a few BBQs and even for a non meat guy, I would rate the Brasilian BBQ here 3X better than those you find in Houston or Dallas (just to relate my personal experience since I lived in TX for a bit). In terms of climate, it is stated that POA is very hot in the summer. My experience is, it is hot but definitely a lot less humidity than Rio or some southern U.S. states. Last but not the least, if you want to get away from the touristy scene and not wanting to be bothered by locals who pry on tourists. POA is the town, in fact, the locals here come across kind of cold relative to Cariocas. They are very polite, but definitely not as warm and welcoming as Cariocas.
So, if you are looking for a nice looking place just to relax or hang out, no clime, safe and be a good boy :) POA is the place. Whoring. SP or Rio.
