Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=Ee2002;1883025]Last time I was there, I was ripped off and paid $250 are for an hour each time, since the guy outside walked us in each time. Thanks to this site I found out the real deal and knew what not to do next this time. Anyways, the Egytian guy is no longer hanging out in front of Delerio, but have moved over to the building where Eden is located. Bottom line is, don't let these guys take you to any spot. The business will charge you an extra $50 are, which is used to pay their commission, unlike the old taxi deal with the terma, which didn't come out of your bill. So beware of this scam. As far as the the other massgae spots in Copa, I wasn't too impressed last time I checked them out, so I didn't even bother this time.[/QUOTE]I was heading to MC on my last day and the same man was loitering on the corner of Rua Hilrio de Gouvia (beach end). He followed me and pestured me all the way to the entrance.
of MC telling me to say to reception that it was my 1st time and he was bringing me along. Best to ignore him.

[QUOTE]Overall, Rio is still a good deal if you hit the right spots, especially with the current exchange rate. Unfortunately for some, it's not the point and click type of place like it was in the Help, MP and ho beach days. If you are still stuck on the way it was back in the days, you will have a hard time there. Do your research and have a plan. Back in the days, even if you came in blind, you could always run into cool guys you could hang with and check out the different spots. These days there isn't as many old vets going down (at least not in Copa), so you are on your own mostly. Anyways, nothing new in this report, that haven't been said before, just my 2 cents.[/QUOTE]Ee2002,

Thanks for posting your great reviews. Times change and new opportunities appear elsewhere. With or without Help discoteca Rio will always be unique but it still makes one sentimental for those old times!

[QUOTE=JavaMan;1882554]Per the Poro website, Barra and Ipanema are being remodeled and will reopen soon. The website still shows the Aterro do Flamengo location, so take this info with a grain of salt. Remember, this is Brazil.

[URL]http://www.porcao.com.br/[/URL]#unidades.[/QUOTE]The entire franchise was acquired by a Sao Paulo based private equity firm in 2012, and the managed to royally mismanage a cash cow. While the website does say it will reopen, there are active negotiations for another restaurant group to take over the Flamengo location, the mayor's office wants a ridiculous amount of rent, so I don't expect the situation to be resolved anytime soon.

The PE guys attempted to use the cash flow from the big churrascarias to fund a spin off entity called Porcao Gourmet, which offered a more US style steak house experience and no Rodizio. They opened locations in Barra and in the Jockey Club, but they failed miserably dragging down the entire chain. They're currently in the Brazilian version of chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, so don't hold your breath that they'll reopen any time soon.

[QUOTE=PipeLayer99;1882576]Wingman and I are flying into Rio, then connecting on a domestic flight to Sao Paulo.

Do we need to clear immigration in Rio first, and the go check in again to get the connection or can we connect and clear imm in SP?[/QUOTE]If you're in Sao Paulo with a wingman and out late on a Wednesday-Sunday night, I highly recommend paying a visit to Love Story. Easily my favorite dancing / GP locale in SP. Tends to attract a lot of the working girls who've finished their shifts at the higher end spots and want to party. However, as they aren't at work, you sometimes have to put in moderate effort to close, which can be sort of amusing.

Also gets lots of rich Paulistas who have fantasies about being a working girl for a night or two, which can also be loads of fun. About the most eclectic mix of people you'll ever see in a club: working girls, drug dealers, business men, rich kids, and a few trannies. But a very fun night out, or way to cap a night out. Doesn't actually even start to get going until about 1 am and closes between 8 am and noon the next day depending on how things are going.

[QUOTE=Rodeo9112;1883081]Wow! That was a very candid report; is it really that bad? I'm beginning to be a little afraid for my next trip! Especially, since I'm bringing a first timer and hyped the place up so much! Are we going to be disappointed?[/QUOTE]Rest assured there are no shortage of options in Rio. Also, reports of Rio going to the dogs as a result of economic upheaval are vastly exaggerated. While unemployment is up and petty street crime is on the rise, Rio has never been the safest of places. Use your head; don't walk around late at night in Copa on your own unless there are crowds around, and don't' be too flashy.

From a mongering perspective, while there's no longer a puta's Mecca (Help), the city still draws attractive girls from all over the country looking to make a quick buck, in a myriad of establishments. As a result, your options are still pretty good, and the girls are unparalleled in terms of their eagerness to please and services on offer.

The Olympics will be a lot of fun. While the logistics may be a disaster, and the venues and site concessions well below the standard of previous games, Brazilians throw a good party. And while the initial estimates of 1. 6 million visitors will more likely turn into 600 k-1 m, depending on a variety of factors, that's a lot of people descending on one city. You can expect Mabs and every other spot in Copa to be rammed every night as girls from all over the country try to make some USD / Euros.

You will have a great time as the city will really be hopping.

The World Cup was fun, and I'd expect the Olympics to be much better as the entire event is concentrated in Rio.

[QUOTE=PipeLayer99;1883000]Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'm only bringing a carry on bag. That should make it easier. This is my 11th trip but first time that I will spend a few days in SP (before going to Rio). .

Thanks.[/QUOTE]If you and your wingman haven't booked your flight to Rio yet, I would recommend flying into Sao Paulo first. This way you can clear customs then get to the action and not have to sit and wait a connecting flight only to have to fly back into Rio. Sounds like it may be a short short stay if you're only taking a carry-on. The time you'd wait for the connection + flight time you can put those hours back into the hobby side of things. Or more so, rest a bit from the flight and be fresh, ready to go. Also, another thing about Sao Paulo is. The earlier your arrival, the better. Traffic is a beast from Guarulhos to the city.

All of the major US carries have direct flights into Sao Paulo:

American: MIA to GRU (2 direct flights) -- DFW to GRU -- JFK to GRU (codeshare, Operated by TAM).

Delta: ATL to GRU -- DTW to GRU -- JFK to GRU -- MCO to GRU.

United: EWR to GRU -- IAD to GRU -- IAH to GRU -- ORD to GRU.

Olympics will include a Sexathlon discipline this year starring 20,000 GDPs with weaves and "I love Gringo $" t-shirts on.

Lucky bastards who are down there for it this time. World Cup was amazing-mad buzz in the city and girls were there in abundance.

Yes, there were a few foreign hookers and also an exceptionally large number of Argentines pissing in the streets. All the local businesses who thought they were going to get rich pretty much took it and the FIFA shorts.

Will the Olympics be any different? Who knows? Brazil can't even decide which politician is the most corrupt.

So this might be of interest to some of the more adventurous ones.

I decided to bring a hot 18 yr old ex GDP (1 month in biz) overseas to hang with me for couple weeks. I had met her in Rio a few months back.

Of course she got stopped in immigration (Europe) and held there as she speaks zero Ingles. A call solved that.

Had a few weeks off and there was a roundtrip flight for 750 $ so that was great.

Now we are getting into Patmarbeleza territory of economics. !LOL.

Sex for 4 hours a day or more and as much as you can take. Price: food ,airfare,some souvenirs and drinks. This could run up as well.

ID say the whole thing probably cost me a bit more than what it would to visit a terma once a day including drinks but then i didnt have to pay for accomodation there-

Can be recommended if it is impossible to get down to Rio for a bit of variation!.

Bring Rio home.Was fun.

I went to Solarium last night with a friend to celebrate the close of a transaction and we ended up a bit drunk, in a big room with a couple of girls and a bag of Bolivian marching powder for two hours. While this was undeniably a great time, the economics made absolutely no sense. Are $2,700 between us. The girls were absolutely stunning. Gisele, a short white girl with huge tits and an outrageous ass, and Brenda, a taller morena with one of the nicest bodies I've ever seen. And they were up for anything. Girl on girl, trading up, front door, back door, a game of sexual twister. One of the better orgies in which I've been involved.

Club itself was pretty packed. About 20 girls and 10 guys which is about the capacity of Solarium. Quality of the girls was quite high, although no really dark girls.

If you're going to go the "festinha" route, probably best not to do it in a terma as it can get pretty expensive pretty quickly.

[QUOTE=Junior;1884334]Did the same thing last month. Highly recommended, but hard work -.[/QUOTE]It is hard work. You give them a finger they take the hand and some are quite emotionally needy but always bring that energetic, lively highly sexualized Rio vibe!

This one thinks its BF / GF so that's another angle. She goes back to work tomorrow so so much for her early retirement (after 1 month) -poverty.

That must be a new forum record, R$2700. I'm happy my only addiction is p*ssy.

I remember first time in Centaurus for my birthday I ended up buying probably 20 drinks and taking 2 girls up who were BBBJ'ing me from either side and tongue kissing at the same time and everything else. CIM both at same tme. Proper vibe between them in the boate and that clinched it for me.

Very memorable time-came to 1500 I think. I wouldn't do it again but I wouldn't change it for the world. I did one dupla in MC after 15-20 drinks for me / girls. That came to 1400. Only time.

Sometime you got to take an L for the experience alone.

Rio ws originally a giant brothel pretty much and you can definetly live out your fantasies there.
