Rio de Janeiro Reports

[The Cane]

Think you got your answer from the silence. I think Monte Carlo and Solarium are as high end as Rio gets and that is a FAR cry from Scandallo and Bomboa. So yeah I'the say nothing vaguely similar. But I like Monte Carlo for a small bar vibe and a smallish but pretty girls selection.

Centaurus used to be known as the "high brow" termas in Rio. But in any event, just like all the rest of the termas, it's not close to being in Scandallo's league. That's for certain.

I learned every man's taste is different & I respect that, but from my perspective thus far on comparing Rio / Paulo:

There is no high end prive / clinica in rio like there is in sao paulo. I heard someone say onix so I visited. By saying onix is high end, you told me you never been to high end clinicas without telling me. Medium end spot at best. But that's ok as you can find those gems who don't know theyre gems yet in the medium end prives sometimes.

As far as most high end spots in rio, it seems to be those spots you guys just mentioned. Perola's good, but not the most high end in rio. I went on a Wednesday though. I'll try it on a weekend.

Online escort scene is equal in both areas. Can find it all from low to high class. Online escort isn't something I do often though. I get why guys do it, but I don't enjoy a virtual feeling of hunting through researching, scheduling, & then no shows or doesn't look like her 35% of the time. There are alot of sites, but fatalmodel (has it all. Ow-high end) got the job done for me. Barravipsrio too (for high end only).

Can generally save more in rio than sao paulo. Cost of living slightly lower.

As someone from the city in US, more city from sao paulo can bother me. So escaping to rio's scenery just feels healthier.

With no clear winner, ill just have to split my time in both.

Well, or repetition.

This comes up over and over and maybe board regulars just don't always answer.

The answer is Perola Negra. See below.

Hello Rio,

For the daytime:

Compared to the high end clinicas / prives in sao paulo, is there anything like that in rio? I've only found medium & low end prives.

For the nighttime:

I know there's nothing as high end as scandallo in rio or maybe even the entire world, but what would be the closest thing in rio?

If your phone support esim get you can get one before you even land in Brazil. https://www.airalo.com/brazil-esim.

I used this on the last three trips. Cheap and convenient if your phone supports dual SIM.

Just change cellular data to the new esim and you're set.

This is my biggest complaint when I visit Brazil. I even got a cpf and I still couldn't get a sim card from a shop. Your two best options are:

1. Get a girl to buy a sim card for you using here CPF.

2. Buy a TIM sim card and activate it using the English line which you can only access via Portuguese menu (because Brazil). I think it is along the lines of dialing *144 then pressing 3 to activate and then 3 again for the English line. They ask you for your passport number, expiry date, name and city. It doesn't matter if you give them fake info for all of this. I looked at my activation data for one of my sim cards and the completely mangled both my name and passport number but my phone worked fine.

Recharging is also a pain and I found it to be best done via drsim online even with the annoying fee tagged on top of the recharge.

Are you carrying a burner that has a physical sim so that you can add a sim later upon arrival into Rio? If you have a phone that has one physical and one eSIM, then I assume you just swap out your original sim for the new one for Brazil.

Since my phone has two esims, I tried to get my friend to get me a prepaid eSIM (using his cpf) for Brazil but it works out to be too expensive for a just a few days of use. Easier to buy an eSIM online with 5 GB of download for the time I spent there.

I carry two phones. One is my old, but fully functional smartphone that I don't mind losing. For this reason I prefer carrying it outside in Brazil. That's the phone I install a physical card in.

Another one is my current phone. I buy a 1 GB eSIM card for $10 before travel, and it serves me well because I use WiFi wherever I can and Zap is free anyway. I basically only need this 1 gb for Uber and Google Maps, and when it fails to connect to WiFi at the airport.

The only inconvenience is that when I go on tours, or walks, or expect to take pictures otherwise, I still have to take my better phone with me, because the old one's camera is shit. But this setup works for me in general.

Hi guys,

I am a regular Rio monger but I have always been in Copa to date. Now I will be in Barra for some weeks and I am wondering what is the best place there to pick up girls during the day? Since I am on European time zone I will be most horny in the morning and early afternoon).

And for the night: is it all termas or massage parlours or is there a similar place like Mabs?

Thanks guys for any hints!

Euro Spa and Eros massagem are both in barra, some good looking girls and prices are 220 for an hour. There is recreio also, when I went it was carnival so selection wasn't that impressive.

I would prefer to metro and head to centro and you will have unlimited selection of prives.

[Mr Enternational]

Two of my buddies went to Rio last week. One used to live there. They both have not been since Help closed. I do not think they will be going back.

[Frenchieboy]

Was in Mabs last week, very poor quality as usual, Friday Saturday and Sunday lot of rain in Rio so very few girls in Mabs, prices 300/400 reais hour.

I found some, was lucky.

I also met girls on fatal model and gp arena

I can pass you the mobile draw doc that the termas use so your test will be in porto.

The sceening process / How to Get Bareback in Rio:

It is very important to get a good feeling with a girl. I always ask the following questions and listen to the response. I ask the questions with a smile and try to make her laugh a bit; if she thinks you are fun she will usually reciprocate.

My (BB's) questions:

1) Are you good in bed? She will of course say she is the best. This is the icebreaker, a chance for her to relax and loosen up.

Excellent post and advice for falando ingles foreigner visiting Rio. Already practicing the phrases.

How much is too much? I have one that starts at as little as 25 BRL for a month, and month by month

Is this a regular account that you have connected to a credit card? How much data do you get? This might work as I can store the eSIM in my phone and just turn it on when I land in Rio.

Meaning: I either come here with a prepaid 1 G eSim card that would be more than enough for the first 1-3 days until I decide it's time for Centro. This card will cost me $10 (not reais), but to me it's worth the peace of mind. Or, I'll go to the nearby shopping mall even before I unpack to get this dreadful chore taken care .
