I think what he was referring to was the old policy that required that you pay the entrance and programa upon entry. It didn't matter whether you took one or not. That was common practice, unless you...

Good report. Glad you had a great time. Just in case some aren't aware, the insurance requirement was lifted maybe sometime within the last month. It's not even listed in the Brazilian embassy...

During my recent trip down there, I noticed that in general the mask compliance rate was 50/50. It was a lot better in Copa than say Centro, where you wouldn't even know there was such thing as a...

I recently stayed at the Hilton in Leme and asked about their guest policy. I was told that since I registered for 2, I could register a guest with ID etc, and that would be the only best allowed...

Thailand is hard to beat, specifically Pattaya to me, but don't count Rio out. Not as easy to navigate as Pattaya, but if you do your research, you can have a great time. The places listed by...

583 is nice, but also consider Eden which is on the 4th floor # 401. Although the facilities aren't as nice as 583, they have a larger selection for the pretty much the same price. Down the street is...

Besides Dolce Vita, there is Casa Blanca on Rua Duvivier, which is around the corner from Dolce Vita (opposite of the corner where the park is located). There is also Kalabria on Belfort Roxo, across...

As far as termas, seems like 4 x4 is the better deal of the major termas. I took a pict of their price list a few days ago and it's as follows: 270 r -30 minutes Cabine, 390 r-1 HR Suite, 450 r-1 HR...

Good news Bravo. Cancel the death notice. I saw and talked to Marcelo the other night at Mabs (just happened to run into him). He's alive and well.

Wow, sad if it's true. Haven't seen him in recent trips (within the last year or 2). Cool dude.

Yes you can.

It's still closed.

That pretty much sums up Rio (at least in Copa) from the way it was and what it is today. Good summary.

By the way, good trip report.

That site seems very reasonable price wise. I attempted to use it on a Sunday, since there are very limited options on Sundays, but most of the ones I sent messages to did not respond. These were the...

RIP MC Catra. This song was and still is the bomb.

Wow, last time I set foot in that place, probably in 05 or 06, it was $310 R total. That was high for that time, now it would be a bargain, LOL.

My sentiments exactly. New guys (veterans too) need to focus on what's available to them now. There are still fine chicas and they still put it down, so for a newbie, it will be like when we all...

Here are a few addresses to get you started:

Club 31: Rua Alcantara Machado 31, Centro.

Terma 502: Rua the Alfandega 65, Centro.

Florida: Praca Maua 9, Centro.

MV 30: Rua Mayrink Veiga...

I respect the opinions of the other members who said never, so I'm just going to talk about my experience. I have been going to Rio for over 15 years and have used a credit card at numerous termas,...

ROLMFAO! That was classic Mr E. Well done.

Depending on the time of year, the appointment you have to set online to submit your paperwork can be pain in LA. Once you make it in you are in and out in less than 10 minutes and the visa takes at...

Fair enough, I was just wondering. Yes it is practically a ghost town at night. The only thing I'm fearful of is the rats, LOL. I will only take a cab if I really have to or with others who insist. I...

Good report. Glad you had a good time. Just wondering, what about leaving Centro at night was a little frightening?

Why do you say that? Not to start a debate, but I don't see those as being a reason not to go. Although I can speak passable Portuguese, all of the times I have been there, I almost never need to...
