Rio de Janeiro Reports

I did post the word files.

Anyone is free to update them.

[QUOTE=TheCane;2535528]And when it comes to planning for a trip, it's that specific information that a monger needs first and foremost. That guide is almost a decade old! So much has changed in that time, and with the impact of COVID it isn't over yet. The guide loses significant value each and every year that the "specifics" in it aren't updated. It's like relying on a travel guide that hasn't been updated in a decade when visiting a country for the first time. Don't do it! Yes, there are some nuggets of advice in there, but that's greatly counterbalanced by the fact that so many valuable, specific details in it are very outdated. For example, in one of your cut and pastes, you included L'uomo as a major termas in Copacabana. All of us vets know that termas has been closed for years! If you're going to tout the guide, you should be more upfront about the serious weaknesses in it too given its age, and you should at least be careful not to spread misinformation as well, such as cutting and pasting specific information that is clearly out-of-date, with no note / explanation / correction.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=HarryDubois;2535587]Thank you very much! I think this link answers my question:

[URL]https://www.guiademoteis.com.br/rio-de-janeiro[/URL][/QUOTE]Also wherever you are the girls will know where the closest motel is.

[QUOTE=RioBob;2535672]Also wherever you are the girls will know where the closest motel is.[/QUOTE]Being right around the corner from Help, I got to know the manager at Vanity love motel pretty well. One time I saw him slyly slide a small manila envelope to my date. (Coming from Help the girls were dates, at least that was the illusion). So I asked him what is up and he said the girls get a referral fee from the motel. So depending on the amount, a girl might not bring you to the best, cheapest or closest. Your rate also might be a little higher to cover her referral fee.

I just spent the last couple weeks RTFF 50+ pages or so and all / most of my questions have been answered, so muito obrigado gentleman. I'm a somewhat experienced hobbyist with tours of duty all over SEA and much of the Caribbean / Latin America but like many, find myself shut out of LOS and other locales by Kafkaesque Quarantines and other hassles and with the Real at a ridiculous exchange rate found myself researching and then committing to a Rio trip in May / June followed by a swing through Colombia June / July. I speak Spanish passably and so thought Portuguese would be an easy learn- which turns out to be an error. This is my first post to ISG, SEA countries were such a breeze that pre-trip recon was minimally necessary and although I have been aware of ISG, I've perused it only on the rare occasion.

Hopefully I will have some reports for you guys in a few months. My preference is for meeting garotas in person first and then taking them home- but it sounds like that's one of many options in Rio. So thanks again for this valuable resource and until I have a useful contribution to the page I'll just be reading.

Hey guys,

I also wanted to say big thanks for the information here. I'll be staying between Ipanema / Copacabana all of March. How reliable is this site: [URL]https://rioescortguide.com/[/URL] ?

I see a lot of good girls close to my area at a decent price. If you can recommend any other reliable online escort sites I'm all ears. Thanks!

Jesus fucking christ. I just came back from Ilha Grande. My brother was meeting me in Rio, his first time. He got here a few minutes before I did and went out to walk around. And got his gold necklace snatched. I just had that shit made for him in Thailand a few months ago. $2000 down the drain. I thought he damn knew better. Said he was at the beach looking at his phone for directions back to the apartment and a guy on a bicycle came up close to him, got him, and rode out.

And don't be looking absentmindedly at your phone ever. He's lucky he didn't get that snatched out of his hands!

Anybody who walks with a $2000 gold chain in Copacabana is asking to get robbed. I find it hard to feel sorry for him. It could have been worse, he still has his phone. :)

I took a nap on Copacabana beach once and some asshole stole my cassette player / headphones right off my head while I was sleeping! This was quite a while ago. Hey Sperto you used to post some great pics of beautiful busty cariocas. Got any more? Jajajjajaja.

Rio has a great selection of young women on the sites we all know. I am curious where to find older ones. Is there a site or a location to find such? Thanks!

Thanks![/QUOTE]LOL how mature are we talking? I would say a good place for mature pros would be Mabs, maybe 9 to 10 pm on you can find some girls in their 30's to 40's. Dolce Vita has a good cross section of ages too after midnight, sure 18 yo are beautiful but I prefer something more mature if I'm going to hang out with her and in dolce vita I have met some great girls 28 to early thirties, they're still plenty young and are not so immature. These Brazilian working girls grow up fast. I don't frequent downtown much but 1 place I do frequent is a place known as 13, it's address is 13 Praca Olavo Bilac, they have the whole spectrum here of ages, sizes, colors, and shapes its a crazy place.

Same goes for NYC Times Square Rolexes, LOL.

Security is getting worse, especially in Copa:

3 weeks ago I was with a ISG member, walking back from Arpoador to COpa p5 for a meal. Along the way, aggressive panhandlers came up to us and put their hands on us, which I hate. I was wearing: Rio Fire Department shorts, Rio FB bought (casa bombeiros) red rash guard shirt, red boonie cover also bought at casa bombeiros. WHen the panhandlers started putting their hands on us, I put on the leather gloves I bought at the Fire Department store. It was for deterrence. Makes the other people out there more attractive victims. My ISG member buddy who was with me said he had been assaulted coming into a favela where he knows some people. Practice very good situational awareness, gents. I see the trends getting worse.

6 weeks ago, a similar thing happened late at night, on a short walk on av nossa Copacabana from posto 5 to 4, roughly, when I was going for an uber by myself after hanging out with a ISG member. Again, I put on my gloves, which are local bought. A bunch of agro pan handlers came up on me, and started following along the street.

This never happens out at Barra posto 6, never. The locals tell me this is the best 'hood in Rio, with strong law enforcement. This is another reason this is the best area to live IMHO.

So, in summary, I highly recommend avoiding copa especially, but also Ipanema, and choosing instead Barra posto 1 - 6, or in Zona Sul, Botafogo or Jardim Botanico. These are upper middle class areas where law enforcement is strong and there are fewer gringo tourists, which you as a traveler want to avoid.

On the discussion of latest intel about which places are open (luomo closed, etc), I welcome all the criticism and input. This is a great source of up to date intel, and it's great to have all the critical eyes to get up to speed. Thanks.

I never seriously considered staying there before because I thought it would be boring. But, there appears to be more going on there than I thought. All I know is that I'm tired of Copa, and won't be staying there the next time. Barra is out because it's too far from most places I will want to go to. Thinking Ipa, Leblon, or Botafogo.
