Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=Global00;2948521]Recent outings have made me question what I thought was a real easy find in the Brazil pay for play arena: the rotund bunda grande. I see it more outside of this arena way more walking around doing errands and relaxing at the beach. Went out Friday night and it was a struggle.

4 x4.

Showed up around 9:30 pm. Place is less than half full. Maybe around 15 girls and less guys. Talent severely down here. I came last Friday around the same time and it was the same crop of girls there. A girl told me last week it was slow because of Rock in Rio but it was over this weekend so could not use that excuse. There were like two bunda grandes there but one of them I session with before a year ago and didn't want to do it again and the other looked old. Not saying the girls weren't doable because in a context where I'm not being direct and transactional, they are fuckable. But in this setting, it didn't really meet my expectations. So I left after sitting and waiting to see if anything else showed up.[/QUOTE]I would discourage anyone from going to 4 x4 that late. The place caters to Brazilian men who work in / around Centro. This crowd rolls in after work and peaks far earlier than tourists would expect. I show up around 5-5:30 and take the energy in. More girls (and guys) seem to surface in the next hour or so. The girls make their money and disappear. Every night is different, but it's best to score between 5 and 8 pm then just spend time chilling and perhaps collecting a phone number or two. Some guys score early so they can go for a second trip upstairs.

[QUOTE=WaltoDerri;2949468]I looked this up on google, and it says permanently closed. Any idea if this is accurate? Does anyone else know the next best place to exchange dollars for reais? No, I did not find a clear answer and I searched a bunch of different combinations of words related to money exchange. This website could benefit from a pinned FAQ mega post like what used to be on reddit.[/QUOTE]Last November I spoke a person at the exchange office right next to SOVA Natural bakery in Copa (right opposite the address RioBob gave). I was given better rate than published rate if I exchange big dollar bills. For some reason I didn't trust him, so I didn't exchange money at the location. Who knows, maybe he was legit. I mostly used Brodesco ATMs in Brazil.

The exchange rates for dollars is always bad at airports. I was told by a local girl I am talking to ahead of time that "no one takes cash anymore" so I was worried. I'm not going through the hassle of getting a pix. They'll have to make do with cash. I land next week! Thanks man.

Yesterday Vagabundo went into centro, fucked Cherry torn, a codename as the hoar gave up her nice little pussy bare. The cost was 250 r. Lesson learned, need to bring a nice big bottle of lube, as the lube in the house was just these little packets and Vagabundo who now trains muay Thai twice a week with 22 year olds whom he submits like the little 73 kg boys they are fucked for 35 minutes for the first pop, and then another 5 minutes at the end for the second pop needs a manly supply of lubricant. Speaking of which, he now will go again to centro and spear a bare pink clam with his penis before going and getting hit in the face by sweet little ladies from various barrios in Rio, which turns him the fuck on, like hit me with your best shot, fire away!

Hi guys,

I'm looking forward to make a dream come true and book 3 weeks in Rio on Feb 25 when Carneval is going on. I will study the last year of this thread heavily but maybe you guys have some hotel recommendations that are 'gust-friendly' near ipanema beach?

I'm looking for BarraVIPsRio material in first place. I would like to check out a couple of barravips girls in my own hotel room. Rates are very interesting to me here. But also if barravipsgirls are open for overnights or escorting to famous travel spots, city shopping or beach chilling and how these rates turn out in case I like one and decide to pay here for some quality time offside the hotel.

I'm also into visiting termas or love hotels but I already have good info on these so my main interest is.

1) Hotels near Ipanema that are girl / guest friendly.

2) BarraVIPRio rates.

3) Where to fiend BarraVIPRio quality girls besides BarraVIPRio.

2) Barra rates, this is a site of independent providers so their prices will vary depending upon what the girl wants and can get. Say something like 600 to 1,000 reais for the first hour. Through the years I have taken some of these girls on nightly dates dinner / swing clubs and paid them about 50% above their hour rate for the night. But keep in mind if she is in demand she would be giving up a few hourly rate gigs to be with you for less, she would have to find you very interesting in order to do that.

3) Barra VIP quality is pretty good, in my opinion I would go to Dolce Vita on Thursday through Saturday about midnight, get a drink and just wait something nice will walk in sooner or later. From what I see here guys go in don't see anything they like and leave in half an hour this is why they say there is nothing there. But if you have patience and especially during high season something to your liking will eventually walk in. These girls are a better choice than barra girls because they'll hang out with you. Girls I met at dolce text me all year to hang out with me and some from years ago so it's a place with a good supply of friendly girls you just have to be smart to find them.

The closest GF hotel to Ipanema seems to be Fairmont. Otherwise, JW Marriott and Hilton in Copa are GF, too.

There will also be a shortage on GOPs (which doesn't mean you won't find them, only that you'll have to pay premium). Girls will be more than happy to stay (and go) with you as long as you want, at the rate that THEY want. No way to prebook those, LOL.

So yes, it's going to cost you, but if you've never been to Rio during the Carnaval, certainly go. This madness must be experienced once.

I have been recently to Rio de Janeiro and met Vagabundo. It was a great time. It is my 4th or 5th visit to Rio, so check out my other reports. This report is only an add-on to my previous reports and some insights. Also please note that it is for someone that spends a bit more than just a short fuck in Centro Prives. I was looking for a girl to stay with me for longer time.

Hotels:

I stayed in Copacabana, I like it. It is close to Dolce Vita and Mab's and nicer to stay next to the beach. It is also 35 minutes drive from the center.

Be careful, most of the hotels does not like that you bring visitors. Although I had a room for 3 people one of the receptionist have made be some troubles but most of them were ok with me bringing girls. Make sure the girls are not dressed as hookers but dressed a bit more nicely and you will be able to let them inside the hotel.

DO NOT book and apartment from [URL]Booking.com[/URL] - they don't let you talk with the owner before. I had lost money there.

Girls:

Had nice success in 4 x4; beautiful girls although a bit too much of cheap look. But that's the place I liked most.

Vagabundo took me to another Terma which was quite interesting.

Best way to find girls is to find a good girl that will bring her friends. Do not try to book a girl that your other girls is not familiar with. I made that mistake and I almost lost one of the girls I like. A 21 years old mulata with dreamy eyes.

Dolce Vita and Mab's were also quite ok. Had a nice experience with two real sisters.

Brazilian girls like to eat a lot. Like, I take them out, they eat the whole menu. I bought some groceries to prepare breakfast, they ate it all on the same night almost and also finished three bottles of wine.

I went to see one night how does Barra the Tijuca works. Went to a massage there Prisma Massage, it was quite a bad experience and expensive.

But the whole restaurants area of Barra the Tijuca was packed with beautiful young girls wearing jeans and bikini top going out at night. Mesmerizing view but I couldn't understand if they are working girls (Garotas de Programa) or just regular young girls. I just looked and looked and didn't have any success talking to them. I still feel I need to investigate this area more.

I booked a few girls from BarrasVIP. Was not a very good success. High prices and the girls are not that high quality. I can find the same quality even in Mab's or 4 x4. I had a few successes in Photoacompnhantes with girls and some girls were not so good. The problem with booking to the room is you never know what you're going to get. The girls photos from both websites were real photos but it is the girl attitude that you can not control. Some were nice and some sucked. So I prefer to stay with finding one nice girl and letting her bring her girlfriends.

Last thing is that the girls are very hard to communicate with, not because of the language barrier but culture. You set a meeting at 15:00, they send you I will be there at 15:30 and eventually shows up at 17:00. Very frustrating. They are also very jealous, so inviting another girl or saying something that they don't like and they might block you on whatsapp. I guess if they were smarter and more open minded they could have make much more money but then again they wouldn't be a working girl if they were smart.

I only once booked a rental on Booking and was able to talk to the owner of that Salvador penthouse. She assured me that her "no visitors" thingy didn't really mean it, which turned out to be true and led to one of my most memorable stays in Brazil. That was a long time ago, though.

I had a girl throw a fit at a nice Buzios restaurant because she thought I was checking someone's ass (and maybe I was, but WTF, you're not my GF! Of course, I put her on the bus back home next morning.

Look, I see early signs of flakiness as a blessing. If she's 2 hrs late, why encourage bad behavior? I'd just cancel, go out and have someone else. She blocks you on WA (provided you weren't rude or offensive) -- her loss, too. There are girls who aren't flakey or not too flakey (although the longer she's with you, the more she tends to forget she's just serving at your pleasure). When that happens, I jokingly give her a warning, and if she fails to heed it -- cut them loose. I'm in Rio for less than 2 weeks at a time -- the last thing I need is a Brazilian soap opera unfolding in my space. Thanks, but no thanks.

Good report, thanks. See you again in a few months.

[/QUOTE]I appreciate you sharing your real experience as is. Please continue to do so.

I never tried online options in Brazil. I was considering trying during my next trip like BarrasVIP but I will keep you input in mind.

I have visited Rio well before pandemic but I guess some things may have changed since then. Can someone please help me find answers to following questions?

1. Does GIG still have the Uber pick up outside international arrivals area at the airport (one has to cross one or two lanes) or is it now only at the domestic arrival section?

2. Does InDriver work in Rio and relaible?

3. What is the going rate at 4 x4 and other prives in Copa and Centro area for half an hour or 45 minutes of action?

4. Any GF hotel recommendations in Copa area?

5. SIM. I had some trouble getting SIM last time and have read that other than the eSim, the second best option is to buy a TIM SIM from a newstand rather than go to official store in Rio Sul and then call the number, use option 3 and 3 again to get service in English and get it activated with your passport number. Is this still the best advise or is it possible to get a tourist sim for a week by going to a store in rio sul shopping mall?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can spare time to answer any or all of the above.

Day 1:

Landed in GIG, caught an Uber from the Airport to Copa. Cost $80, but gave him $90 since he waited while I searched for the pickup location. Taxis sent me to the wrong location of course LOL. If you take Uber, exit on the ground floor where the taxis are, make a left walking past them and another left at the corner. When setting up your pickup location, choose orange. EDIT: I don't know where my mind was at LOL. My UBER app is tied to my card, meaning I gave the guy $80+$90 hahahahahahah. And he didn't blink. Dumb gringo. At least I caught myself when I was about to do the same thing the next day LOL.

I didn't really see anything worthwhile on seeking. And replies on Tinder have been hit or miss so I'm going in armed with all the great nuggets the team here have provided. Thanks to all of you who contribute! 
8232;Still tired from the flight I didn't go out other than to eat. Hoping to change that tune tomorrow. I still need to get a SIM card. The lady at the airport wanted $300 for 10 GB of data from some no name company. No thank you. I'll try my luck tomorrow at Claro.

Day 2:

I made an appointment via WhatsApp to get a Brazilian wax. Incorpore Estetica. Cost $145. It's my first time so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm satisfied. No frills, the woman doing it wasn't bad looking at all, but it was completely professional. Not even one stroke LOL. EDIT: 2 days later and I'm still happy I with the results.

Bounced around to get a SIM for my phone. Claro was complicated. The easy button is going to the TIM store located in the Leblon shopping mall (1st floor), showed a picture of my passport and was in / out in 5 min. 15 GB $150 ish it was $10 more for the card itself. Good for at least 30 days.

Decided to walk back by the beach, sooo much eye candy. I wish I spoke Portuguese. Anyway, today I learned not to wear any jewlery when like a hawk swooping in on its prey a cyclist snatched my gold chain from under my shirt behind my neck. Bananas. Seriously guys, be careful.

So here we go, I went to Sala 302 and sessioned with sounds Harlwe? Maybe. She's probably 4'11" with a giant natural phatty and nice tits. She had a little buddah tummy, but zero marks. She asked if I wanted a massage. It's been a long day so I went for it. It was actually a good massage, surprisingly. Then the flip. BBBJ, very good, no deep throat, but not one of those BS tip of the head fails. Switch to cowgirl, then finished on la 4's. I took an hour and still had about 20 min left, but didn't feel up to the 2nd round. Getting old I guess. I remember back in my blue door days in Medellin going back to back to back. Anyways at $170 for the half and $220 for an hour, I'm not complaining. I got her WhatsApp for later. I'the like to wake up to that one day.

Day 3:

Back to Sala 302. I was told they were at capacity and to up to 401. So I got on the elevator that accidentally went down and to my surprise a lovely lady who I saw in the lineup yesterday entered the elevator late for work. Her name was Gaby. About 5'8" pretty eyes, enthusiastic, natural body fuckable tits, little mama belly, but all around sexy. She likes kissing and tried to seduce me when she moved to the BBBJ. She enjoyed watching herself in the mirrors (walls / ceiling) and instructed me to do the same. Popped twice. Showered in between.

Brought a garota back to my hotel for the night. No numbers were discussed up front. I know, dangerous game, but I risked it and glad I did. Perfect Brazilian body just what the doctor ordered.

Day 4:

Started the day off right the way I like. True girlfriend experience. Unfortunately, we stayed in my room all day, ordering in and just enjoying the moment. I gifted her $1000. I thought it might be too little compared to a few runs at 4 x4, but she didn't seem disappointed. Around 7 she said she would leave at 8. I'm guessing to give me a last-call or sorts. I took the hint, we rolled and she left at 9.

Although it's been fun, and I could definitely do another day or two here I feel it's time to move on. Either Salvador or SP. Either way, different forum boys. Catch you later.
