Sao Paulo Reports

I wanted to know is there a place like Villa mimosa in So Paulo? It seems like we only talk about clubs.

Search scum SP on forums.

Mercure Pinheiros is nice and literally two blocks from Bomboa. You can make the Scandallo pilgrimage by Uber but fuck it's nice to walk down the street and have a nice Boate just right there. High recommend.

Bomboa is relocating tba. https://bomboa.com.br/.

There are many Mercure hotels, you probably got it confused with the one near Moema which is near the national airport CGH. Paulista is no where near both airports and I've stayed at that Mercure near Paulista which is nice and girl friendly. Actually all hotels are girl friendly.

Indeed I was confused, as I was talking about the Mercury in Moema, close to CGH. I guess on my next trip, I will try another hotel as I am a light sleeper.

I've stayed at the Mercure Sao Paulo Moema hotel many times and the noise is not that big a deal and I am a somewhat light sleeper. My favored hotel in SP is the Bourbon Convention Ibirapuera which is a short walking distance from my favorite Moema clinicas. It has a decent gym and indoor pool. It is even closer to the airport but fortunately the windows in the rooms are sound proofed.

It always depends what you like to do. The recommendations below come with the caveat that you can easily find women in Rio. It is certainly not a pussy desert.

If your goal is to race in / race out, you could hit the two major sites Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado mountain and Sugarloaf mountain in two days / one night.

If you tack on more time, you can consider other options. You have to remember beach or no beach, Rio is a green city. It is cut into a mountainous rainforest. Sao Paulo is an urban jungle. I like to take the historic tram up into the hills of Santa Teresa and have lunch (or a before sunset dinner) with a view. It is a historic neighborhood with nice, older homes. You can checkout the nearby Selaron Steps that you see in the Snoop Dogg / Pharrell "Beautiful" video.

I also like to have breakfast / lunch at the Cafe Lage in the mansion courtyard of Parque Lage. It's also featured in the video. In fact, the video is a good warm-up for a Rio visit. There are many hot Cariocas in it. The video might also change your mind about the beach.

The city center does not have a lot of history left. There are some old churches. Many people go to the modern Rio Cathedral which is interesting. The Sambadrome attracts visitors even though there is not much to see without a parade..

Wow thanks for the detailed reply, really appreciate it.

Might just book a flight into Rio and out of Sao Paulo and play it by ear. Hopefully tourists will be able to go sometime this year.

Sao Paulo looks much better to me mongering wise, which is the main objective of my trip and decent food and Rio doesn't appeal to me that much as I'm not into beaches.

How many nights would you lot spend in Rio to see the tourist stuff before going to Sao Paulo for the rest of the trip?

Last but not least, on certain nights the Samba schools host parties. There's usually music, cheap drinks and dancing. You can flirt here with some Brazilian women. Unless you are under 45, I wouldn't flirt with the really young girls. You'll likely get more response from the more mature women. Rio women are jaded from tourists thinking they all want to jump in bed with the first foreigner they meet.

Lapa has a famous large street party on Friday nights that spills into the side streets and bars in the area. The center of the action starts at Arcos the Lapa. In fact depending on the season, the Rio street parties can be found around the city.

Read through the past 100 pages and want to say thanks to everyone who posted, shame what happened to ABG, he seemed like a great guy.

My next trip is going to be either to Ghana or Brazil, whichever opens up first, I'm hoping Brazil but unfortunately things aren't looking good at the minute.

Also does anyone else offer a similar service to ABG?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that these amazing girls in Medellin go for $20-50 per session?

I have taken close to 20+ trips to Medellin over the years and I don't recall seeing or meeting amazing girls for that price. I presume your buddy, Lew Ashby, must be either very lucky or very handsome. You did mention that you have not been there yet. I would be curious to read your reports after you get a chance to visit Medellin.

I've been hanging out in Colombia / Medellin for over 20 years.

Beautiful girls can easily be had for that price range.
$50 dollars is about 185 mil pesos in Colombia now.
Plenty enough.

The same though is true in Brasil.
Both places have high end, low end, and in the middle.

It has been said many times, and it's true; what you pay doesn't really correlate to either quality or performance.

I stayed in that hotel and I thought it was fairly noisy. They have a domestic airport not too far from the hotel, and the noise from the airplanes landing and taking off was a bit much. Luckily, the noise seemed to stop around midnight but it restarted fairly early.

Are you sure you are talking about the same hotel. That area of Jardins is not under the path of the approaching or departing airplanes from the Congonhas airport. Could be more problem in Itaim Bibi and of course in Moema, which is closer to the airport. I haven't stayed in Mercure Jardins hotel, but it is close to the Mercure Alamedas hotel, where helicopters woke me up quite often in the morning.

[HarvestBoi]

That's about right. Flights stop at 11 or so but start up at 6 or 7 AM. True for Itami Bibi as well but I learned to live with it. If you are very noise sensitive you might consider elsewhere.

Both the Renaissance Sao Paulo Hotel and the Marriott Executive Apartments are girl friendly.

Marriott Executive Apt is like 5 minutes from Cafe Foto but a bit far from the Scandallo. I liked the apts layout with its own kitchen for longer stays and half the price of Renaissance.

That's about 300 R in BR and definitely get a good girl for that price.
