Rio de Janeiro Reports

[The Cane]

After a long absence from Rio where I traveled to twenty other countries, I am starting to look at going to Rio again. However, going back to Rio makes me a little nervous. Before, I rented a room from the guys at America Tours (now closed), spent a lot of the daytime at 4 x4 and Luomo (both closed) hung out on the beach at Posto 6 (Hooker section), at at Meia Pataca (closed) and pregamed at the patio restaurant outside of help (closed), and spent late nights at Help (closed).

I just don't know what to get excited about in going back. I felt like a Rio pro and now everything has changed so much and none of the places I went to even exist anymore. Back then, I also knew personally most of the must have girls and obviously they left the game long ago. I miss so much of the good old times, and much of what I learned about mongering was because of my trips to Rio. I even remember my first trip to medellin, and feeling like it was a mistake and a waste of time because I loved Rio so much! I read trip sports and just dont see the excitement that we as a group had from back in the day.

I'm really thinking long and hard about all of this. Decisions, decisions.

You can't go back to Rio hoping and expecting to re-live the past. It's gone. Either look to play the game differently there, or consider trying a new destination in Brazil. I still have gone to Rio, but I started going to Sao Paulo too. Even took a trip down to Porto Alegre. So glad I did! When things open up and are safe again, I plan to see other parts of Brazil as well. So, consider expanding your horizons to discover other parts of Brazil besides Rio de Janeiro.

I'm planning my first mongering when borders start opening up and plan to report back and upload pictures etc.

There is no debate as Colombia is closed at this time and Brazil is open for travelers.

[PussyRiot]

The dynamic is changing here for sure but I stick to my initial comment that it's a great time to be here.

Safado69, please post more reports as deciding to make the trip back to Rio.

I don't really care.

I am getting laid in Brazil.

Not reading some message board sniping about minor BS.

Hahah.

It is not minor BS. They could turn you away without insurance. Here is a website I checked out: https://www.americanvisitorinsurance...vel-to-brazil/.

You can get two weeks of insurance and I was quoted $23 when I put in my information.

Since I slid into Brazil in mid March ...

VB, check your pm.

For a first trip, does Colombia vs Brazil have any major advantages over the other? Through some research, prices look about the same. One thing I really like about Brazil are the "termas", I don't think Colombia has an equivalent where you can go to a sauna and relax like a FKK club in Germany and monger at the same time. Thanks for any info.

Do you have experience with Rio's termas? They're a lot of fun. I like hanging out before and after the deed. They, however, are very different from FKKs. The facilities and food in termas are very basic. I wouldn't recommend booking a masseur / masseuse in a termas.

Hahah.

Are you sure about that? I think it is more typical that USA Insurance private or government only covers your health services in the USA.

[Vagabundo1]

Its a apt hotel.

You see, the problem is the public healthcare in Rio. Not only covid, anything minor can happen. Well, moving on to more important stuff.

Transamerica barra is a hotel or flats?

I am a European Portuguese, do you think it's easier to hook with girls? And not get charged with the gringo tax.

Since I slid into Brazil in mid March, I have not been hassled about insurance.

I do have it through Uncle Sam.

I may have had Covid several times, but its a cough and it passes. Memento mori.

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees; or to paraphrase, I'd rather get laid 200 more times in Brazil than sit in involuntary incarceration in the states.

I had an Allianz travel policy through Delta and it did not cover COVID-19, hence I looked into this option. There could be a rider or endorsement to the Allianz policy. There is a difference between travel insurance which cover trip interruption and cancelation and some medical and the travel medical insurance. Devil is in the detail so do your research and read reviews I am just sharing my experience and not suggesting one over another.

Not sure how good they are paying claims though. Not as big and reputable insurance player as Allianz, Zurich, AIG or AXA. Hope to not have this issue. Good luck.

[Hobbying]

And that includes COVID-19 coverage as well?

When I bought it said it covers it if you get covid while on your trip, meaning you cannot already have it but how they can they prove that.

Girl I know recently had pcr and antibody done, took 4 days or pcr and 3 for antibody. She got covid and had all the symptoms. Being in her 20's and works out everyday but still had trouble breathing. She is recovering still after 2 weeks.

On United, Allianz insurance can be purchased with the ticket during check in on the web or app. Price depends on the cost of the ticket but is roughly 10%.
