Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Viajero11]

On my way to and from Amazonas for work, I made some stops in Rio. First visit was not much more than 24 hours and I made the most of it. On a Monday afternoon about 5 PM went to Monte Carlo where I was one of just two guys. About a dozen girls there and most were very attractive by my taste and very friendly, too. Slowly worked my way through the room chatting with each girl, all the while noticing two cute girls waiting their turn over by the bar. Kelly was a petite morena spinner with a tight body and a great smile. Mia was similar but with long dark hair and ample natural tits. Both were fun and sexy, and a dupla was tempting, but I didn't have the juice and went with Kelly for an hour. Fun as hell, enthusiastic, flawless skin with no tattoos, perfect ass, you could bounce a quarter off any part of her tight all natural body, and overall excellent GFE performance. DFK, BBBJ, DATY, etc. In chatting with her afterwards, the interesting punchline was that she was forty years old. My vision isn't as sharp as it used to be, but I ain't blind. When I entered the boate and then when I left, she was hands down the youngest looking girl in the room. Fucking amazing. She showed me a picture of her seventeen year old daughter, and I had to keep my cool and be polite as she was as hot as her mom.

Before my afternoon flight the next day, I had a few hours on a Tuesday morning and went to Onix Terapias at Rio Branco 185, sala 2104, where I had made a reservation with Natalia who had good reviews on a local forum and looked cute on their website. Pretty, gorgeous long silky black hair, nice body, and very good GFE. Had a great time with her. 170 reais for the hour.

After two weeks working near Manaus, went back to Monte Carlo for a potential repeat with Kelly. She wasn't working on a Tuesday about 8:30 PM, but the place that night was, by my standards, an adult Disneyland with maybe 20 to 25 girls, many of whom were very attractive. The mood was great, and the girls were very friendly. Six or seven were smoking hot, making for a tough choice. Chatted with a bunch and was completely smitten with Camila, a morena spinner who was simply one of my all time dream girls in looks and personality. Fucking gorgeous from head to toe and one of the best GFE experiences I've ever had. Drop dead natural, well toned body with small perky tits and a perfect ass, beautiful face and smile, cute hair style, and a dynamo in bed with superb BBBJ, DATY, DFK, and all sorts of positions. She knew how to play sweet and sexy probably better than any girl I've been with, and it was an unforgettable hour. I'm still speechless.

Wednesday afternoon went to Delirio on Hilario de Gouvea 66, sala 201. Pretty impressive lineup of about a dozen girls, about half of whom were very much to my liking. I knew that Camila had sort of ruined me for a while in the expectation department, but I had a good time with Renata who was beautiful and sexy. 200 reais for the hour. Only negative was that I had to wait about 20 minutes for a room with a bed, and the rooms there can be pretty small. Really cute secretary though.

Last blast on a Thursday afternoon went to Green Therapy, on 13 de Maio 33, sala 2403, to repeat with Mel who I had met in August. Another awesome performance and equally amazing the second time around. 170 reais for the hour.

As usual, loads of eye candy on the streets and at the beach. In addition to the great scenery, the happy vibe, and the easy transportation, with just a little research, a little patience, some basic Portuguese, and overall not a whole lot of effort, it's pretty damn easy to have consistently great experiences in Rio's mongering world.

Planning my next trip in a few months will be arriving into Santo Dumont airport like my last trip choosing to stay more in Centro closer to the Lapa district, read that there now is a VLT train leaving from the airport into Centro. I do remember seeing work being done on the tracks, have anyone use this new service and the cost.

You can add a cost of R$3,8 to your planning.

Some misinformation is given in the forum about taxi fares and double fares on weekends.

Saturday (partly) and Sundays are Bandeira 2. Bandeira 2 is not double fare, it's only 20% more.

Bandeira 1: Monday-Saturday, 6.00-21.00.
Bandeira 2: Monday-Saturday, 21.00-6.00 and Sundays.
Exceptions on some holidays (Carnival, New Year etc).

Excuse my double the fare quote, I knew that it was more.

My double comment came from me paying $R10 from posto 6 to Mabs during the week and $R20 on the weekend. Maybe it just worked out to that because it was a short trip.

And not sure I figured out the best area to stay.

Is it even possible to be centrally located within walking distance of enough establishments that I could be entertained for 3 weeks??

Anyway, because I am caring and nice:

Stay somewhere in Flamengo, Botafogo, Copacbana, or even Ipanema that is close (1-2 blocks) to a Metro station. The Metro will get you within walking distance of enough establishments.

(I didn't add other areas covered by the metro for various reasons, which I will not detail at this point).

Thanks bro! I have a few broken cell phones here at home. Sounds like repair costs in Brazil are a fraction of US costs. I think I'll bring them with me on my next trip, get them repaired there, then bring them back home ready to sell. Hopefully it will put a few bucks in my pocket. Maybe pay for a terma visit or something. Haha! Thanks again.

Good luck with your cellphones! If you will have the same positive experience as I had it will most likely be worth it and it could pay for a terma visit or something like that. It will be worth a try!

Good that you found my post useful. I thought so too, that my experience was worth sharing, because a working cellphone is probably the number one tool for mongering and when it breaks down one has to find a solution fast! And it is so much better to have it repaired on the spot than to have to send it away for service until one or some more days later.

The repair shop that helped me is called "Ananias Virtual Games" and they are at the Mercado Popular Uruguiana, Quadra "A" Box 108 ao 110, and it is just in the corner of Rua Uruguiana and Rua Buenos Aires. My one time experience of them was good so I might as well recommend them:

When clicking on the map it doesn't show the correct location and the map seems messed up. But when coming out of the metro on Uruguiana they are basically just one minute away.

Just like to know if somebody recently took a taxi from Copacabana to airport or airport to Copacabana gig Airport. I am flying 2 Rio next month and just got quoted $R140 from airport and $R100 to the airport. Any information on that will be helpful thanks.

When I arrived from Europe last week it was close to 22:00 hs and after clearing customs the time was just after 22:30. I was quoted 92 reais with the case being "this is the best price at this hour". I balked and walked to the bus. A cool 16 reais to Copacabana.

Santos Dumont is the domestic airport so this does not apply to most readers, except those coming from Sao Paulo perhaps.

In SDU you can get an outbound Uber by walking through the entire arrivals area to what is called the Bossa Nova Malll (also called Aero Mall), which is literally adjacent to the airport. Just there on the ground level is a designated Uber pick up area with Uber employees hovering around to help and all.

So a disaster happened to me yesterday and my phone broke down. I had it with me in my robe in a terma and close to showers and steam saunas. The high humidity must have messed my phone up because the screen was going crazy and at the end of the night it just stopped to work and didn't respond to touching.

The phone with all the important Whatsapp-contacts to the girls is just so precious and important that when the phone is breaking down it feels like a disaster. So I googled for phone repairs and got a few suggestions and one nearby, in Copacabana, Sigueira Campos. They said that they could fix the phone to the day after for 150 Reais but when checking for availability of the particular screen to my phone they said that they couldn't get it.

I was anyway going to Centro for a terma and saw a phone repair shop in Rua Buenos Aires, close to the Uruguaiana metro station. They only worked with Apple products but they recommended me to a repair shop just nearby. Just by that open space where Buenos Aires meets Uruguaiana there are these so called boxes with plenty of small stores inside and most of them seems to focus on cellphone repairs as well as computer repairs and I also saw repair shops for watches.

I got to the shop that was recommended to me and they said that they could fix my phone for 100 Reais and that it would take 40 minutes or up to 1 hour. One guy left the shop and in 5 minutes he was back with the screen to my phone and he started to work on it. He really took my phone apart completely and I could see him in action, working with my phone. And in 30 minutes he finished his job and I got my phone back in perfectly working condition. What a joy, to get the phone back with all the important information right there. Such a good service to be able to get a phone repair on the spot and for such a reasonable price as 100 Reais.

I mention all this because I think it can be valuable information for any other of you guys, if you will need to get a broken phone fixed fast and efficiently and to a good price. I was really impressed with how smooth the repair went, and how fast it was done. A phone with the contacts to the garotas is something very vital and even just one day without it feels like the sky just fell down on you. Google didn't help me much in pointing me in the right direction but what I discovered is that the repair shops inside the boxes in Uruguaiana is where to go for efficient phone repairs.

Great info. Thanks!

Don't forget Taxis are double the price on weekends and holidays, so that trip to the airport will be double if its on the weekend.

UThere are some kiosks right AFTER you leave customs where you can prepay a taxi with credit card for around BRL 71 plus "baggage" fees (they charge extra for bags).

To clarify, when I say "AFTER you leave customs" I mean when you exit the final doors to the general airport area, after having cleared customs and now, I think, walking thru Duty Free etc. There are still final doors before you exit into the main aiport. The taxi booth (Infocoop?) is usually right outside the doors once you enter the general airport. Rule of thumb is if they're charging more than BRL 75 or so, you're at the wrong booth.
