Rio de Janeiro Reports

I was not the first to recommend Transamerica, rather I was just following the suggestion from this earlier thread.

I don't see posting here as some kind of competition. There are no right answers, and I suggest a positive tone. I indeed changed my nickname, as suggested by some ISG friends and clients one night 5 years ago in 2015 in the smoking lounge at 502 because the name, from a felipe ret song, or from a common carioca term seemed more appropriate to my mongering nature. Ironically, it appears that some readers have been following my posts despite their saying that they ignore my posts. It reminds me of Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald in A Moveable Feast -- one writer so insanely jealous of his imagined fame takes to attacking his peer, who hardly notices. Take Rio for what it is, a Moveable Feast -- for if you've been lucky enough to live in Rio as a man, then it stays with you, for Rio is a moveable feast, better than the original Paris.

Regarding Porta dos Fundos, yeah, sobre mesa is a great episode too, one I have joked about.

Without even trying I unsuspectedly booked an apartment in a highrise building (part hotel and part apartment residence) that is ground zero to a bunch of independent working girls. All three of my "GDP" acquaintances that came through during the weekend confirmed it and were wondering how I knew about it. Apparently, the rent is quite cheap and many of the girls share apartments. The setup is either you're a guest of the hotel, or a client that they see in their building. The pool is where the magic happens to check out the scene. I was impressed, went downstairs with a "girlfriend" and saw a lot of bunda by the pool which is where they advertise. It was a sight to see considering this place is also a residential building with kids and families. In order to get to the pool though you have to check-in at reception and get a wristband so that you can use the facilities. The security guards and some taxi drivers also confirmed that it was known as "Transamerica" and a spot for the hobby. I didn't ask any girls the price but my friends told me 200-300 is normal there. Of course the place is also girl-friendly;0.

I don't recall any mention of this place in the Rio thread. May be it is a hidden gem. Proof that Rio keeps on giving.

I won't look up your references, but will offer you a gem of a porta dos fundos, which I recommend watching with the local girls who love good comedy as foreplay.

Wherever you stay may I suggest you get back to Rio in person to alleviate your frustration haha.

Vagabundo,

Normally I don't read your posts as they never had add any new information to me, but I read this one.

Yes, I find it strange that many newbies want to stay in Barra. That's my opinion. If you like to stay in Barra, that's fine. I remember that Motel Málaga was another one of your favourite spots when you used one of your other forum names.

Yes, I'm in Europe and my last time in Brazil was in March.

Porta do fundos is one of my favourites, but I prefer this one:

Keep up the good work Vagabundo1! Some of us actually appreciate your on the ground reports regardless where action can be found.

Thanks for your informative reports Vagabundo, I'm learning a lot from you and other long time Brazil experts. One of your recommendations was to play Filipe Ret music for the garotas and the panties will slip right off, so when I saw this on Tidal I assumed he was returning the complement LOL.

If somebody would like to be close to the monger-action and prives they would stay in Centro, or at least in Copacabana, Ipanema, Botafogo etc. God knows why somebody somebody would prefer Barra. Well that's just my opinion.

Transamerica sounds amazing. Definitely have to give it a try on my next visit. The girls are really girls, right? Curious, is it like one of those places in Germany, called Stasi, I believe, where the girls run around naked and they serve food? There used to be a guy named Bubba here. He seemed to know a lot about the nightlife in Rio. Bet he knows all about that Trans-Atlantic place. Anyone seen him around? He would make a great wingman to accompany you to Help and maybe the Balcony Bar. Think he even knew a little Spanish.

There is a free bus that leaves hourly from av gastao senges 185 direct to av presidente wilson 147 (the consulate), and returns at 16 h10 and 17 h20, that comes with your transamerica room. The bus goes via beaches in Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana.

This address is also where the laundry, cafes, pizzas (borda e lenha 5 g pw bordaelenhabarra) r. Av gastao senges 185.

Sperto's criticisms are well taken and valid, that said, the reason I and my guests love it here is the peace, quiet, more spread out geography, clean water for ocean swimming, better security, better pictures at the beach.

It's the girls -- including the local girls -- who tell me consistently, this place av gastao senges 395 is better than previous places I have had at botafogo.

I've lived in Centro, including on this trip. It is true it is closer to some spots like T65, etc, and as such one can get the girls up to the room faster. But your view from the pool at Hotel Sao Francisco is the rooftops of other high rises, or 20 m across the alley to another building.

Transamerica is landscaped, spread out, safe well patrolled by police even at beach.

With the free bus (and with a little verbal jiu jitsu, girls get on the bus too), it is no cost to get to the locations for mongering described.

I honestly find Copacabana too packed, jaded, touristed, tacky and boring, not to mention dangerous (its where the local criminals go to look for gringo victims).

There are not many gringos if any in Transamerica, which is a plus.

Also I would be interested in meeting up and learning some things. Drinks and entertainment on me of course. I am working on a bitcoin wallet so I can support the forum. Thanks.

Good perspective as always but some like a change of scenery as well. While Transamerica is a gold mine for talent, in my opinion it's not as easy as one thinks especially for newbies or experienced mongers for that matter. The place is a residential building and somewhat discreet, yet everyone knows what is going on. Don't mistake this place for some sort of resort.

I highly recommend linking up with Vagabunda if you can since he knows all the hacks or using PhotoAcompanhantes (search on Barra the Tijuca for location and filter on "transamerica" Read up on some profiles to get an idea. Contact the girl using WhatsApp and try to meet in the building to avoid bait and switch or any issues.

I'd hope that I can get in touch with you for more info as well Sperto as I have also read your posts with interest. I've booked my first 3 nights in Copa at Pestana Atlantica based on previous posts from last year but then I figured that it's likely that girls I find on the rooftop will be girls from Transamerica, so might as well check it out. Besides, having been Rio twice I though I'the check out the Barra area as I've done the Zona Sul tourist stuff. Still, the centro Privès are the best value for money and I don't want to be paying the 400-600 the girls on Barra VIP's are charging.

I'd value any additional insight cause after a being shut down this year this trip has to be epic.

You can fly from Sao Paulo and get to the action in Rio quicker than you can go from Barra to the action in Rio.

Yeah, Vagabundo is the reason I'm now checking this thread daily. The dude has a special way with words. A joy to read.

Took a trip to Eden Spa. Shown 3 ladies 2 of them lovely Mulatas. Took Barbara tall sensual. Would not leave my penis alone LOL. 200 r for the hour. The place itself is kind of run down and basic but clean with a working shower.
