2005 Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Macunaima]

Two points, Veterano:

Many, if not most, carioca muggers don't come from the favelas. Nor do most of Rio's cops. Cops are rarely, if ever, assigned to work near where they were born or live for personal safety reasons. Furthermore, this is a metropolitan area of some 10 million people. The chance, then, that a cop will recognize a mugger as a childhood friend is pretty low.

[Veterano]

Good point, Kenn, the cops come from the same favelas the thugs do

The muggers are their neighbors, childhood pals, inlaws and relatives!

Having said that, I really think it is safe to walk from Terraco to the Roiss, don't you? (I will be staying at the Roiss next week)

Thanks for the input

You are in Rio now. Coming to Sao Paulo. She thinks you work in TV. PM me. And no shes not preganent, but wants to give you a new number

[Kenn]

Just because the cops are there in their cars does not mean anything. They will most likely not lift a finger to help you..........

TAKE TAXIES AT NIGHT.......................

Kmarx,

Most girls I know in Rio provide BBJ. As for anal, it depends on the girl..some do while others do not. U will get better chances in the termas.

Just got back. I totally agree with you here..in Rio just like any big city--you have to be alert. Rio is a dangerous city, but most of the tourist areas are patrolled and reasonably protected, but it doesnt mean crime doesnt happen. For the most part Avenida Atlantica is pretty safe as it is well lit and there are usually one or two squad cars stationed nearby. There have been numerous reports of tourists getting robbed walking the dimly lit side streets near help. Most of them were drunk, walking alone. Some of these girls will try and protect/warn you if she feels you are about to get robbed. That's exactly what one did when she was walking home with my VERY drunk buddy.

If you are staying near Miguel Lemos/ Xaveria da Silveria area, that little square block sometimes has muggers lurking. (whenever the coppers are not there) Some of those streets are poorly lit. if u see some guys hanging out just be careful, cross the street. Do something to make the know that you wont be an easy target. If you are walking alone, don't get blasted with your gold chains and/or new rolex flashing. Hookup with a buddy and get back to the apt /hotel together. Your last resort is that taxi.

Does anyone have numbers or names to girls that provide bbj or anal?

Last time I went the girls complained about size and wouldn't do it. Anal part and for bbj I only found one, but she is not in Rio anymore.

So if any of you can pm me with info or just post it.

While you should be alert in Rio, such as you would be in LA or New York, don't be paranoid. Sensational talk like this doesn't do anyone any good. I know when I read it before my first trip, it got me all wound up for nothing. I found Rio about as safe or unsafe as any large city around the world. I walked, took the bus or the subway and never took a taxi. I would walk around Copa late at night and never had any problems. By all means take a taxi if you feel more comfortable, but you aren't exactly walking through the valley of death if you aren't. There are in fact quite a few locals walking around at all hours.

Hot to Cool, the only people being robbed late at night in Copa. or Ipanema are the dumb ass tourists walking around late at night, alone or drunk... If they simply took taxies they would never have that problem.. Try and get one of the girls to take a stroll with you late at night and see what she says.. If the locals won't do it, what in the hell makes some guys think they can???

NEVER WALK AROUND LATE AT NIGHT ALONE the only people being robbed late at night in Copa. or Ipanema are the dumb ass tourists walking around late at night, alone or drunk... If they simply took taxies they would never have that problem.. Try and get one of the girls to take a stroll with you late at night and see what she says..

NEVER WALK AROUND LATE AT NIGHT ALONE OR DRUNK IN RIO...... SIMPLE.

No problem just trying to give back. Brazil will always be my place to go. For those interested I am currently working on a FAQ for Buenos Aires and Lima. At least there you don't need a Visa.

On a side note I have noticed that Brazilian women are very feisty and love anal. Argentinean women love to lick your back end like it is their last meal. Peruvian women are somewhat submissive and like being dominated. Those are just my experiences. I am still looking for the ones love to swallow and can't keep their mouth of your lollipop stick. Next trip Colombia. Maybe I can find it there. If I can find one the likes to do all traits and look like Jenifer Lopez then would I found the perfect hoe.

This might help. A couple of years ago I got "clipped" with a tourist visa that expired in 90 days. I don't live in the city where the consulate is located (Houston), so I had to use a passport/visa agency. When I called to check it out, the guy wasn't helpful at all.

The next time I applied, I talked on the phone to a guy at a different agency, and he suggested that I request a visa with a 5-year duration on the visa application form.

Anyway, in section 21, "Purpose of trip", at the bottom there is a "Comments" area. The guy advised me to be as detailed as I could, and I also wrote something to the effect that "I plan to return to Brazil next year, so I would respectfully request a duration of 5 years," yadayadayada.

I got the 5-year visa, can't tell you if what I wrote made the difference. HTH.

[QUOTE=Mack Dad]After lurking in the forums I have decided to give back.

[snip]
Now here is the tricky part since the US immigration policy is less then favorable to the Brazilians they reciprocate. I have seen two people go get their visa both at the same time and one got a 30 day and the other got a 5 year. That is out of your control. Just cross your fingers and hope you get a 5 year.

Mack Dad,

Thanks a lot for a great detailed FAQ. Busy forums like this one get swamped with short conversations (which is also great) and it becomes very difficult to get comprehensive info for a first time visitor.

I promise to post a trip report after my first trip.

Just let me have one more session with her before I leave tomorrow, then she's all yours. Her name is Kayla, and she works at Monte Carlo. She is young, tall, and slender. She has long brown hair with highlights in it, nice B-cup breasts, a compact bunda, and nice tan lines. Her eyes were blue, but I suspect colored contact lenses. She speaks virtually no English but good Spanish. She gave me the best GFE session I had during this trip, and she showed the capacity to do a PSE if that's what you're into.

Greetings Gentlemen,

I am new to this forum and have been reviewing the wealth of information. I've been to Rio once, but not with like minded people and I had to be very discreet. I did hook up with two Help girls. The first turned out to be a huge problem (I will post details on that shortly). The second was fantastic, unfortunately I met her on my final evening and I had to meet my traveling companions and leave for GIG in the morning.

I am going back May 20-25 and would love to hang out with some like-minded fellas for some drinks, food, etc... perahaps a Help wingman? PM me if interested. I've booked my flight but not my hotel, I'm considering the Royal Rio.

[Hot To Cool]

Mack Dad,

Thanks for your Cliff Notes. The only thing I'd add is that the HSBC ATM in Leme is open after 10 PM.

N,

What you say about taxis is true. However, I don't think a walk from Help to one of the apartment buildings(where I usually stay)immediately north of the Othon hotel on Atlantica really warrants a taxi.

I will be in Rio this july 22- 28. Anyone there around this time.
