Rio de Janeiro Reports

[The Cane]

Steve, I've been to Costa Rica and Panama and in my opinion Rio is far better for mongering and much more fun overall. I don't remember if you been to Rio. It's a beautiful, beautiful cosmopolitan beach city.

I agree 100%. In fact, after I started going to Brazil, I never returned to Costa Rica again LOL! My suggestion was just based on if he wanted to try something new by doing a stop in Central America. If that's the case, then Costa Rica would be my pick. Otherwise, I would choose Rio over San Jose every single time (and have ever since I discovered Brazil). Why, I would even choose Germany and its FKK scene over Costa Rica. But in Central America? Costa Rica rules (and you could do much worse)! I don't know why in the world Steve hasn't gone to Rio. It's absolutely essential to go there if you're going to "hobby" in Brazil!

I have a week in So Paulo on business. And a week in Mexico city on business. And the weekend intervening I can go ANYWHERE in south / central America. A few parameters:

I love the club scene when traveling. I have a girl at home so dinners and GFE are standard. So I like to get out and party on the road. So like Scandallo and Casarao etc will def be done. But I can do that during the workweek.

I've been to Medellin and found it only OK for what I was after. Did Facebook girls at my condo. Was def fun but missed the club scene and didn't like the plastics at La Isla.

Absolutely got to have BBBJ. $$ not a problem.

Want to balance of nice place to hang out, maybe beachfront, with club / girl options but not the only thing. Rio? Costa Rica? Panam? The options are wide open. What would you guys do given the above parameters?

Steve, I've been to Costa Rica and Panama and in my opinion Rio is far better for mongering and much more fun overall. I don't remember if you been to Rio. It's a beautiful, beautiful cosmopolitan beach city. It's like God dropped San Francisco on Hawaii and sprinkled with Miami's Latinas.

Knowing you a bit, I don't think Rio's mongering club scene will meet your expectations unless you meet a working girl or a Seeking / Facebook girl who you can take to civilian clubs. You might like the civilian nightlife scene in the Lapa neighborhood. Since you seem to have some game and banter, you should try your hand flirting with store clerks and beach bunnies. If you invite a girl to a nice club or restaurant, you will likely warm them up more than if you lechered them up with an offer to go back to your place for a quick bang.

Having said that, I don't know how you feel about the hardcore brothels (as opposed to boates). You can always hit the termas. You can also invite a nice termas girl for an evening out. Some of them appreciate being on a date before jumping into bed.

Enjoy!

Have you ever been to Costa Rica? If you're looking to try something different maybe you can give that a go. It's not like Sampa which is not like Rio which is not like Medellin which is not like Mexico City. In other words, it's its own thing with its own kind of "vibe". In San Jose you got the Hotel del Rey, the Sportsmens Lodge, and Hotel Taormina. And in Jaco there's the Cocal. These are "party hotels" with bars patronized by "ladies of the night". Pre-pandemic they were full of Colombianas, but I understand that the Colombianas have yet to return at their former numbers. So you would most likely be pulling lots of Ticas (Costa Rican girls), which is not a bad thing. I bet a lot of those Ticas are thrilled the "Culombianas" (as one Costa Rica Tica put it to me) are gone LOL! If I was going to do a stop off between North and South, then Costa Rica would be my choice. Panama also has a very active and robust scene and is a more modern country, but between the two I always preferred the action and the "vibe" to be found in Costa Rica versus that in Panama (you could do worse). Hope you make a good choice for you. And write up a good report too hehe!

The Thai lady is more interested in going to a regular bar where customers buy drinks for ladies. Not so much interested in going to the room with a lady.

Maybe a strip club in Copacabana.

Strip clubs or even Thai-style go-go bars are not really a thing in Brazil.

Your best bet is to go to Dolce Vita in Copacabana late at night to drink. It's not clear what your end game is, but I'm sure you will find open-minded women. You can buy the ladies drinks and see where it goes.

You might want to clarify things more since strip clubs aren't really regular bars. If you want something more hardcore, you can always go to a termas like 4 x4 or Solarium. You can also buy the girls drinks there and figure things out.

Comparing Scandello to Perola Negra is like comparing McDonald's to a Michelin star restaurant 🤣.

I'm already aware of that. The last time I was in Brazil was 20 years ago. At that time my favorite termas was Centaurus. I went into this big room full of women after changing into the robe and flip-flops. I sat next to a gorgeous blonde and started kissing and fondling her right away. We ended up going to a room about 20 minutes after and had amazing sex. The other places I went include Help disco where I met a girl who stayed with me every night and even went to the airport to see me off when I left, Barbarella boite (where I met two girls and had my first threesome), And 4 X4 where I had okay hookup with a girl but it wasn't anything to write home about. I only had a week in Rio but had a great time.

I also used this forum to get information back then. I am looking forward to trying new things in Sao Paulo, Rio, and Foz do Iguacu this time around. Perola Negra looks like a small club. I don't have any high hopes for the action there but you never know.

The Casablanca bar is not far, I will give it a try. Anyone ever go there?

[Explorer8939]

There are several swing clubs in the Rio area. Just do a little google search, the one in Barra (Asha), is very good so is the one in Botafogo called 2 a2.

I am traveling with a Thai bargirl and staying in Copacabana. What she wants to do is go to a bar that has garotas available for drinks, maybe something more. Any suggestions where to take her?

Perhaps I'm an old Rio stickler, but I think it's helpful to differentiate boates and termas. While the distinctions can be subtle, the former is more of a night club and the latter is more of a brothel. It gets confusing because some boates have hourly rooms available on or next to the premises.

I guess the biggest difference other than the overall vibe is that at a termas you are basically paying a fixed price set by the termas management. Of course, you can work out a deal to meet a termas girl later, but that's not the primary purpose of a termas per se. (By the way, I still think it's best to discreetly get a termas girl's number and work out an off-site rendezvous.) Termas can also have some amenities like a sauna and real masseuses that usually aren't that great.

The boates are more like nightclubs where girls and boys go to meet. And yeah, the girls just happen to be working girls and everyone including management expects you to negotiate a deal. They don't care if you take the girl home as long as they get their beak wet.

You could also make this more confusing by adding clinicas and prives which are generally small fixed price establishments frequented in the day.

I would compare SP's Casarao to Rio's Dolce Vita. Both are made up of FL.

<snip>

Solarium is definitely the best boate in Rio. Girls are the best looking and best attitude and has a lot of girls relative to the rio scene.

It's one of the more expensive boates in rio but is worth the value.

I would consider 4 x4,Solarium and DV as the best clubs in rio in that order.

Dolce Vita is at the top of my RJ must check out bar list. The last time I was in RJ in May 2022, I stayed on Copacabana Beach and I was plaining to go to DV, but then I caught the Omicron. Although the disease itself amounted to not much more than the strangest sore throat I ever had in my life and its effect lasted for only 3 days, out of respect for the girls and other civilians, I self-isolated and I kept to myself for friggin' 10 days. What a God damn drag as I did not do anything except bake on Copacabana Beach and watch Netflix the entire time. But once I returned to SP, I extended my trip at no extra cost, thanks to American Airlines, and made up for the lost days with my SP girls and SP Boates.

I totally agree with you about Solarium. Great girls! It is my favorite RJ Terma too. But I do like the vibe and atmosphere over at 4 x 4. 4 x 4 is rawer and lower class. KKK. For example, one Thursday night I went there, the place was packed, and I saw this fat, naked, drunk, girl writhing and rolling around on the liquor-stained bar floor. She grabbed her customer's hand and pulled his head towards her pussy and he, with his friends urging him on, reluctantly went along for the ride. Ha Ha. He was just an American Black guy, having a real good time at 4 x4 with his buddies. His friends were real friendly too. I was sitting at the table next to them. It was their last night in town, and everybody was having a great time. It was a wild scene! I eventually found a slender half Turkish / Brazilian girl and she showed me a good time.

Yeah, there is no place in RJ that comes close to Scandello's league or even Bomboa (SP's #2 Boate). A fair brothel comparison for Perola Negra would be the Brooklin Club in SP.

And while we're on city vrs. City brothel comparisons: Casuara vs 4 x4 is an interesting matchup. Casarao has more girls and its girls are FL's. So, you can take the girls out of the club. 4 x4 girls work for the house and the girl's price is set by management. Both places are pretty amazing and have relatively similar pricing. I personally think Casarao has more, better looking girls than 4 x4, however.

Another very competitive brothel comparison would be Bahamas Club vs. Solarium. In this case I think the two clubs are pretty evenly matched. Girl quality is similar, the number of girls available is around the same, and prices are somewhat similar too although Bahamas is more expensive, and the decor is more upscale. But Bahamas girls are FL's and you can take them out of the club for the same fee as going upstairs. Solarium girls work for the club and prices are set by management. I like both places, but when I am in RJ I tend go to Solarium more often than I go to Bahamas Club when I am in SP because SP has bordello nightclubs like Scandalo & Bomboa and RJ just does not. Game, set, match!

I would compare SP's Casarao to Rio's Dolce Vita.

Both are made up of FL.

Both entry is 50 BRL.

Both don't get packed til after midnight.

Both have a low take out fee of 100 brl more or less.

Casarao has rooms available to use is the only thing I can think of that separates them.

Casarao also has more girls but that's more of a population thing.

I've never been to Bahamas because like you said there are more better boates in SP but will check it out and do a report when I go back in a few months.

Solarium is definitely the best boate in Rio. Girls are the best looking and best attitude and has a lot of girls relative to the rio scene.

Thanks for the info. I have to check out Scandallo first so I have something to compare it to. I know it's difficult but someone has to do it.
