Sao Luis

[Spidy]

I landed in So Luis a few days ago with a wing man with the intentions of taking a break from The P4P garota scene. In the past I've had good luck landing the non-pros in towns that are considered off the beaten path in northern Brazil. 6 months ago I had great success in places like belem and Manaus meeting and bedding non pros. My expectations were high for So Luis but unfortunately things didn't transpire the same way I had hoped it would. ...

Overall, So Luis is a cool city. I would definitely return someday but I would go to great lengths in avoiding the 7th of September celebrations which apparently coincides with the founding of So Luis proper. 410 years to be exact!

For the girls, This is a time for spending time with family and close friends, not hooking up with random gringo mongers who are prowling for Garotas half their age.

... In fact during my entire stay in So Luis I didn't even see one SW on the clock.

Yet another good report/update off the beaten track.

Unfortunately, on your tour so far, Fortaleza and now Sao Luis, have been disappointing on the P4P front and perhaps your reports are signifying a startling trend in some of these smaller cities. Although, I recognize, that perhaps P4P, wasn't necessarily your primary goal, while sojourning in Sao Luis (or Fortaleza). As many of these northern cities, do also have rich diverse cultural heritages, their own distinct artsy and musical scene and picturesque landscapes that make it worth the trip, if nothing else.

If it's any consultation, my luck for finding credible P4P options, in Sao Luis, back in 2005, was just as bad. I stayed at a pousada, in Praia do Olho d'Agua (miles from downtown) for a couple of days. The area had more of an upscale lively, hip, social club and bar scene, which was fine for non-P4P activities.

Everything P4P related, was so spread out and some of the better P4P options and clubs, were miles away and on the edge of town, or outside of town. Friendly enough town and the Reggae was always good, but I just didn't get a strong vibe or click with the scene/women over the few days. Perhaps given a more time.

Kudos to you and your wingman for getting out there and seeing more of what Brazil has on offer, in the lesser known parts of Brazil. Even if at times, it is more PG14 than P4P (...kkkk!).

Good Job!

I landed in So Luis a few days ago with a wing man with the intentions of taking a break from The P4P garota scene. In the past I've had good luck landing the non-pros in towns that are considered off the beaten path in northern Brazil. 6 months ago I had great success in places like belem and Manaus meeting and bedding non pros. My expectations were high for So Luis but unfortunately things didn't transpire the same way I had hoped it would. For those who have never been So Luis it is a beautiful very rustic colonial city nestled on the north coast in between Fortaleza and belem. We chose to stay in the reviver district located in the old city. As another bm has mentioned in a previous post, the decaying colonial buildings have a mini-pelourinho vibe to them. I too was reminded of my trips to Salvador and also the architecture of old Havana, Cuba as well. The area is full of history and is a must see for those who enjoy photography or just taking a simple stroll back in time.

However, I found The bars in the reviver to lack the kind of talent I was hoping to cross paths with. Still it was fun to sit back and enjoy the scene. The Brazilian vibe was alive!

Our main issue was that we arrived during the 7th of September Holiday and the massive multi-day celebrations that ensued. For 5 nights there were free concerts of different genres of music. It was An amazing event to be a part of! There were tons of eye candy at these concerts, gorgeous woman everywhere but it was a family affair and it soon became apparent that these cute girls weren't interested in being approached by a couple of mildly drunken middle aged gringos with our drinks in hand. I don't recommend trying to hit on sober girls while drunk. They will not be receptive to your advances whether you speak Porto well or not. I like to call it "late-night pedestrian game" and in Brazil oftentimes you can get great results but unless you look like younger brad Pitt you are most likely to strike out! Sometimes these girls wouldn't even respond to our simple "hellos". Had the circumstances been different and we weren't attending a massive concert where the girls preferred paying attention to the stage and singing along with the performers more so than our attempts to open conversation, I predict things would have been much different. Wrong time wrong place I guess.

A funny note, after checking into our pousada on day one we quickly found our way to the xirizal bar street area where we saw a handful of mostly older fat Garotas on the clock. We settled into one of the many dingy drinking establishments for a few drinks and were the only gringos there. Soon after we ordered our drinks, the owner of our pousada casually strolls inside in pursuit of some strange I take it. We exchanged a few laughs and then made it on our way.

I was told by a local that most of the late night action goes down on the peninsula and calhau beach. We made it up to adventure bar in calhau where previous reports suggested some GDP's are known to frequent but I didn't see anything available, only families enjoying the extended holiday. In fact during my entire stay in So Luis I didn't even see one SW on the clock.

I stayed in St. Luis 2 days, one before visiting Lencois Marenhances and one after. Also stayed in the Centro at a reasonably nice 2. 5* hotel around the Citi Hall (forgot the name).

I hired a local guide for a couple of hours when I arrived and he took me around. The beach part of the city looked lively, but the Centro was depressing. It could've been a charming old downtown if they sprinkled a little more money on it, but as it was, there is too much decay there for my taste. Way too gloomy, IMHO, wouldn't compare it to Peolurinho.

At one point, as I was crossing the street to try the bank ATM after dark, a local came over and warned me against walking around alone at that hour. It was almost across the Citi Hall, LOL.

I never looked for a GDP scene there due to my short stay time. Tried a PA girl, but she stood me up.

I was in So Luis on vacation when I decided to go to women's houses, they are really attractive and hot, there are also sites in the region with companions in So Luis as the https://www.vipsaoluis.com.br website I recommend as a friend to all foristas.

They are not as classy or great like the other international brands. Just normal services, be prepared to be ignored if you demand anything special.

Mostly that, I flew them only once to Spain after my father died, they were only flight that would get me on time.

Nothing bad, nothing good. Business class is not like ME or even other Asian companies.

Hi everyone,

Any help would be great. Has anyone ever flown China Eastern Airlines? If so How are they? Because I've e watching them very closely for about 3 months, they have me scratching my head on there $500.00 RT Airfare from Chicago, IL to either Tokyo, Japan or Hong Kong. I'm thinking about a 2nd trip to Japan in Early 2018 with my Holiday Bonus (If I get it / I herd I might not get it this year).

1st Day:

Arrived around 7 pm. Got settled at Airbnb in Calhau. Nice views the beach from the 10th floor apartment. Put bags down. Called up my Tinder babe to meet me for dinner at nearby churrascaria called Sal e Brasa. We ate then went went back to the room. Enjoyed her through the night. Got to love the internet!

Day 2:

Had to wake up at 4:30 for my tour to Lenis Marahanes It took 4 hours to get to the city Barrehinnas. And another 30 minute drive to the national park. It's spectacular. Looks like a desert Oasis. I highly recommend it. Stayed out there until 4 pm and a headed back Sao Luis. Got back around 9 pm.

Thanks for the great report, any recommendations on agencys to book a Lençóis Marahanes tour with?

I highly recommend it. Stayed out there until 4 pm and a headed back Sao Luis. Got back around 9 pm. I took a shower git dressed and called an Uber to take me around to find women. He asked me if I wanted to go a "local" or a "boate" . I told him I would like to see both of them. He called his friend and his friend told him about a place by the beach called pousada ponta verde. It was a local spot by the beach. There were about five girls there at the time. It was around midnight. The women there were passable to me. All white, from skinny to average bodies. Faces all average. I would guess from 20-30 years of age. Price was from 100-150 reais. I asked to go to another location.

He took me to another spot on the praia do calhau. The spot was called Adventure Bar e Restaurante. There were about ten girls that the staff pointed out to me. Nothing doable to me. From white to morena, indo look. From the look of them ages varied from young to older 20's maybe 30's. Didn't ask price.

He then took me to Crystals night club. Did not cost anything to enter oddly. There was about 6 girls in there. They were very shapely. Looks like a lot of surgery went into this bunch. From brancos to Moreno. Average face beauty besides one. I talked to one the interest me and she was 25 from Paraíba I believe she said. When talking price she wanted 300 reais for an hour. I counter with 200 reais she said no so I passed. I asked the bouncer / manager how much girls usually charge, he said 200-400. I asked Uber to take me to the apartment. Tomorrow is another day.

Day 3-4:

I woke up and contacted my tinder girl. Arranged to meet again for dinner at night. I went down to the historic area and walked around taking pictures of the historic area. Not as nice as Pelourinho in Salvador but it reminded me of the old colonial decayed buildings I seen in Havana. Then I walked down to Mercado Central. I read on the forum that there was a bar called Sao Sebastian that closed down. Well, there is another area called Xirizal. It is a handful of make shift bars in an L shaped alley with women sitting inside and outside the bars. I seen about ten women while passing through. All ugly nothing doable at all. I seen two young ones the rest were older. I didn't ask for prices but I'm sure they were cheap. I hopped in another Uber and asked if he knew of any spots. He said there was a spot out in Canton that has beautiful girls there. He did not know prices and couldn't give me address. He gave me his number and said to call him around 6 or 7 pm and he would take me. I went to the apartment at lunch and relaxed. Then I tried calling him but it went straight to voicemail. I gave up on it and got ready to meet Tinder for dinner.

We ate at a seafood spot called Cabana do Sol. It was good. Went back to the apartment. Had a great time with her again.

Woke up early and said my goodbye to the beautiful young lady and headed to the airport.

Had a good time in Sao Luis. I would go back but only for non pros. I seen quite a few beautiful non pros. The pro scene wasn't that great in my opinion.

As I said, I have no photos of GDPs of Sao Luis, but took quite some shots of centro.

There's nothing quite like neglected, decayed Portuguese colonial buildings. See the like of these throughout the Nordeste cities. And, in Mozambique and other parts of Africa, too. For contrast, its really remarkable when you see what the Chinese have done in Macau.

ButtLover took a photo of this place, including the smelly waters, see post #56.

Hi.

It looks like Bar São Sebastiao has been closed for good! http://jupiter.com.br/jupiter/portal/noticia/id/41951.

BL.

Isn't this the place next to a cloake-like creek? I might have been there some years ago, type of beer bar, I was just sitting around and not too sure about who is working and who is not. Finally ended up with a slim negra who was walking outside. I paid around 10 are. Or was it 10 are for the room? But this was back in 2007.
By the way: Lord Hotel was already run down in 2007, I even took photos of the shower, unfortunately none of the girl :-(

Yes, that's Bar São Sebastiao. Actually there are several bars.
Lord Hotel has been run-down for many years. I stayed in Lord Hotel 2008 and since then it has gone down very much. Now it's disgusting.

[Pyjama]

More or less 6 bars and several houses with short-time rooms. Located in a smelly alley.
Rough area, so dress down. Everybody was friendly.
A kind of mini-Vila Mimosa, just smellier and rougher.
