Rio de Janeiro Reports

[Dutch44]

Perhaps another topic but....

where I do think Brazil is getting worse, is that the WGs are getting fatter every year I travel to Brazil!

Personally I like thin body types. To me that is a whole lot more sexy than those overweight 1m65 tall ladies who weigh 70+ Kilos as I am seeing more and more.

The first time I was ever in Brazil I still saw many thin, elegant and sexy ladies.

Now (2010) it seems the western consumerism life style (eat, buy things you dont need and then eat more) is really THE thing now. I know this is a personal thing and some of you may like you garotas big (gorda) but I am not one of them.

I think Obesity is really becoming a BIG problem in Brazil. I see the trend in the Termas, Escorts, the beach, everywhere.

Anytone else who agrees or sees this trend...or am I the only one?

Let me start off by saying that things have changed for the worse...

[Dutch44]

Hi Helprules and others,

It depends. That would be my answer. I am not such a fan of the Termas anymore. I have been to a few (in Rio) and 4x4 is the one I visit once, every time I am in Rio. But just once. Termas are not the best deal IMO. I do not understand why they have gotten so expensive. In a country like Germany, where the average wages are 3x to 10x that of the Brazilians, a german FKK offers MUCH better value for money. Really MUCH MUCH better. Believe me, I know. For 50 Euro entrance (Düsseldorf/Köln area) you get free drinks, food and entrance ALL day. 1 hour in a (nice and clean) room, with an lady of your choice (stunner can be found), can often be arranged for Euro 75.

IMHO if you have an apartment in Rio, the best deal are the escorts. Besides the obvious ones (Karla and Scort which will cost you some 150-170 for 2 hours including taxi) there are some really good ones where nice ladies (7-9 score) will stay 2 hours for 250 R$. I know no place in Europe or the USA which offers anything close to this. I think Brazil still offers the best there.

For instance this one is not bad: www.vipgoldrj.com. There are plenty others like that in Rio.

I personally think that spending 2 hours in my apartment with a very nice and good looking 22 year old (as I have met from such agencies) is a great deal.

Let me start off by saying that things have changed for the worse. Sorry mongers, but brazil is no longer a cheap destination. Everything was more expensive. Went through money like water, and I had a budget of 250 a day! The only good thing was the subway. I saved plenty taking the subway to centro every night.

The termas were still great. I tried to save money by trying some of the other termas in centro, but they were complete TRASH. There is a reason why the same 5 or 6 termas are mentioned here over and over. 4x4 and luomo were the best for this trip. There is a girl with braces at luomo that has a legit 10 for a body. Could be in playboy. 20 years old. The termas are now no smoking which made it so much more enjoyable. 4x4 dumped the restaurant upstairs and put more rooms. I missed taking girls up there before fucking. Anyway, you can expect to pay about 270 reals for one gir/room/entrance. That is going to be your average when you visit all 6. Thats 150 dollars at the current 1. 80 rate. My advice to anyone coming to brazil is to bring 300 a day MINIMUM. 250 was not near enough. My rankings this trip: 44-luomo-monte carlo-solarium-terma65 and Cancun was last.

If money is no object, than brazil is still the best place to monger. If you are on a budget, I say pick a new place. I think its time that I try Colombia. The girls are knockouts and it has to be cheaper than brazil. I asssume 250 a day will get me 3 girls a night there.

You must learn the art of negotiation. Don't ever agree w/the first price you hear. I've bargained R300's down to R200. I almost always get R200's for R150 (and that's a whole night and morning). And R150's can be had for R100/night. Easy. And bring some little gifts for your favorite girls (lotions, perfume, lingerie) and watch how far they go the extra mile. But always negotiate with a smile and if they don't budge just say, "No obrigado bebe" and walk away. Within one minute she'll either change her mind or you'll find another one willing to take your dinheiro. But NEVER go w/the first quote!

As for Colombia you are way off. I just returned from Medellin and had gorgeous Paisas for 30-50 COP (Colombian Pesos). That's about US$15-25! One night I went crazy and had six lovely ladies ranging from 18 to 26 y/o. No bullet or stab wounds either, all Bonitas. Colombia is absolutely the best bang for buck right now. Mainly because most Gringo's are scared to go, so the pricing is low. But Rio girls are just as beautiful, if not more, and give the best GFE hands down.

Thanks for the report.
Good info.

Just curious though, how do you know that Brazil is still the best place to monger if you haven't even been to other places like Colombia??

By the way, I do agree with you.
Though I dig Colombia and have been there countless times, I easily rate Brazil as the best, mainly due to the attitude and energy of the Brasileiras ... and ... if you can make contacts and stay away from touristy, high end places, Brazil doesn't have to break the bank.

Ate mais ....

Nightlife really sucks since help closed. I went to balcony for the first couple nights and never went again the rest of the trip. The place sucks! The club upstairs is tiny. The girls are fugly! I decided to try barbarellas and the club across the street from them. It was better than balcony, but still too expensive. The good looking girls were asking a minimum of 300 reals plus the bar fine and entrance fee. I decided after 3 nights that I would just go to termas every night and try to get numbers. Unfortunately, the good looking girls are no longer meeting after work for 200 reals. I couldn't close any deals at that price.

Thanks, Benjoe,

And what if you plan to meet with them outside the terma. Is there a going rate?

[Benjoe]

Hey Guys,
Can someone tell me where to get the coupons for the Solarium discuentas? They used to be on their website but I don't see it anymore. Or don't you need the coupons anymore. Is it just on Mondays? Many thanks!

You have to send them an email to get the coupon via email:

http://www.solarium.com.br/festadointernauta.php

I think the coupon is for a 30-40R discount on admission, and your bill won't count towards the 800R frequent fuckers program for a free admission.

[Almotu]

GOOD News.

Just went on their website and they say on Sept 7 - they operate as usual.

[Almotu]

Guys coming down for the Labor Day holiday, be prepared for limited talent this Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday is a major holiday and I can already confirm that the Centro massage places will be closed. The receptionist of 181/#801 told me they won't re-open until Wednesday!

If you have phone numbers of GDPs, start the process of locking in a date for Tuesday.

I am not sure of the status of the Termas. 4x4 and places located in Centro most likely will be close on Tuesday. The Zona Sul ones catering to the tourist crowd might be open.

Good Luck to all.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced genuine massage place?

In March I visited three centro casas offering massage. They were not ordinary puteiros as penetration wasn't really on the menú. Just massage and a HJ (BJ at extra cost) (penetration negotiable with some of the ladies).
Maybe those ladies knows how to give a decent massage?

* Rua Senador Dantas 117, Sala 117: R$ 60/30 min, R$ 80/40 min
* Avenida Presidente Vargas 482, Sala 914: R$ 70/60 min
* Avenida Rio Branco 156, Edificio Central, Sala 1228: R$ 60/60 min

Having spent the last 7 years in Rio I am very aware of the beach massage situation. What I am looking for is good quality, reasonably priced massages. Anything purchased on the beach, is generally neither. I was hoping somebody would know of an out of the way place, possibly in centro or Zona Norte. Anything in Zona Sul tends to be expensive on a relative scale.

corner of Siq. Campos and Bar. Ribeiro, in the Apart-Hotel building, 2nd and 3rd floors. due to disc issue, I find these places. on 3rd floor, just to right at top of escalator. also: there are some good ones to be found that are provided by Japanese, traditional style in Zona Sul. (also in this building, there is a place to get your travel 'shots'. fast and easy, no appointments)

I'd second Bubba's request - if anyone has first hand experience (as opposed to seeing ads etc) of first rate massage. Whenever I've tried a massage in Brasil it has been poor. And the beach ones are worse than poor. I'm even wondering if there is a foreign quarter, maybe in BH or SP even, where someone actually knows what they're doing. I'm going to ask a couple of people I can think of before I do my next long tour.

[Bubba Boy]

They set up on the beach in Ipanema near posto nove and give massages there on weekends when the weather is good. They bring in a professional table and at least look like they know what they are doing. Don't know the quality, but the price quoted seemed ok -- can't remember exactly what it was.

I am sure of one thing, it won't be what you were used to in SE Asia. Particularly the traditional Thai massage. You need those little Thai girls to do that right. Hurts so good.

I am sure you know the lady in L'uomo too but that is expensive. I have never been tempted to try that either.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced genuine massage place? Perhaps in centro or zona norte. Having lived in Asia for many years I really miss a genuine good massage. I have come accross a few in Copa and Ipanema but the quality is bad and price R$ 80+ ie absurd.

The longer I live in Brazil the cheaper I get!
