I say whites only as an economic not legal observation around Pesqueiro and praia do reserva.

Of course all colors are allowed, but in practice, there are very few negra or mulatta faces.

I was there with a mulatta, and my money is good so it was no problem.

Professionals study logistics. The city buses do not go on that strand of beach. The patricinhas and patricios like this exclusivity. I do not.

The brown and black cariocas are generally going to take a bus unless they are with you to pay for uber, a luxury, and even uber takes fore-eeever at pesquiro.

It's just the vibe, and it is not for me, but it is for some people.

Leblon rich areas like dias ferreira not to mention olegario maciel has black faces too, but they tend to be richer or profile as successful actresses, better dressed, not wearing vasco the gama.

I ain't white and don't like the whites only vibe I pick up on in Leblon. Is Barra really like that north of posto 3?

Got a trip coming up and was planning on staying in Barra on an upcoming trip (probably posto 3-6 area). Pesqueiro was on my radar to take a regular girl of mine to splurge. Also wanted to stay in Barra for some solitude and beach relaxing.

If I've got to deal with a bunch of snooty glares it's not worth it.

They made a video to warn people this. I warned about this several times here. They will try to grab something from you even when you have nothing. I was lucky because I didn't use phone cover so it was slippery and dropped to the ground. I wasn't thinking that bicycle could come up to the sidewalk and was texting.

Using my hobby burner phone without a SIM connected to hotel wi-fi.

Suggestions on brand of SIM to throw in here for a few days.

I always recommend people to use a strap / lanyard connector to your phone. I use one for my phone. In SP and RJ I had a guy dash to my side and try to take my phone (republica in SP and Centro in RJ, both not safe places) and since I had my phone strapped to my wrist, the moment they felt that it wasn't going to come out my hand easily they just kept biking. They are not going to stop and fight you for it because they are cowards and don't want to throw hands with a 100% all american beef cake (I have a planet fitness membership so I'm basically the most strongest man in the western hemisphere chiseled by allah himself).

Also wear shorts or pants with zippers so you can put your cash / phone in there and no one is getting in those bad boys without giving you a BBBJ first.

The trannies that walk along cocoa carvana streets at night will always swarm you and try to feel you up and dig their man hands down your shorts for some dead presidents and all they'll get is the muscly thighs of an American patriot.

My iphone set up is a bit more heavy duty then the example pics because I built my own system that works with a specific case and wrist strap system that I put together myself but anything will really work as long as it can take some pull resistance and not snap.

- I don't like this area (posto 7 - 9) as it is even more whites only than posto 6.

- it is safe.

- the uber residence in the area is novo leblon where the lawyer at conservative church groups live.

- you can find some social commentary on this on porto dos fundos channel on youtube, google barra.

Looks like a nice resort for sure. The plan is get a SP girl to come with me to Rio, take her here for the first day then go to Buzio for 2 days and send her back home. As a new born carioca, I've seen the affect rio does to SP girls and it's so worth it.

I'll post my experience once I finish my trip and see how it goes.

Of course, the issue is Security, a lot of places just don't let guests in.

Before you book just ask the host if you can have any visitors during your stay. Just say you have friends in the area that will come by to visit for a few hours but not stay overnight.

Copa hosts know the drill and will be cool as long as you don't throw a party in the room or trash / smoke the room up.

I'm flying in early from SP to Rio in OCT and going to book one night there so I can just drop the bags off and start enjoying rio. Booking an airbnb for the rest of the trip.

Does anyone know if it's GF friendly or not? Grand hyatt is usually pretty flexible but I will be staying with a buddy and I have it booked for two people. Sometimes they just charge 150 BRL to let them stay at least in SP but idk in barra. If anything I can get a love motel room for 150 BRL in rio but if I can have a girl over for an hour or two that would be ideal as it's in a suite.

I found out I ran out of data but I decided to just get a new chip with data when I saw a TIM shopping stand. I have been to this stand before and they told me CPF is required. Today I told them I have passport (I was going to an airline to purchase flight) and they told me they only accept CPF. Then asked if I have friend here. I said no. The girl said you are all alone here? I said yes and I know no one. Hehe. I told them I got chip in Rio and Sao Paulo without CPF and passport. Then they talked to each other and asked me do I want to put credit on my chip or a new chip. I said I want a new chip with data on it. Then I saw she opened a file on her phone with a list of numbers that looked like CPF number. They proceeded to register a SIM chip for me. LOL. So I guess some would help you when they know what you already know that one can get a chip without CPF.

I think it's about their closing time, I would try to invite both to dinner to thank them as excuse if I wasn't going to the airline.

This post is just to introduce more context to express my original intention as DC is familiar with the term casa in Medellin so I skipped the detail.

Thanks for the lingo clarifications Nounce.

For some reason I am used to say casa anywhere I go in south America. The same was mentioned when I was in Cuba but realized Cubans use that word different and got offended.

Casa particular is regular tourist accommodation in Cuba.

Have to remember these lingos.

I am trying to find a reports of distinction on Brazil TR. I remember book marked but cannot find. Can anyone share or point to the post so that I want to fresh my memory and note down the places to visit and prices.

That's a good suggestion.

We are landing on Saturday into Rio and leaving Thursday. So probably have to plan our hobby vs sightseeing.

I always stays in hotels wingman and never had problem. Including Medellin Sheraton. But this time we 4 people, hence ended up taking 2 bedroom apartment and not sure if run into any issues.

We have until 3 pm to cancel our Airbnb but so far we did not find any chica friend. Appreciate any intel via PM.

For that reason, we used to walk to the main street to catch Uber around or after midnight. It was fine until someone reported here that he was robbed.

The danger is there but it wasn't as bad as Medellin where it seems grigos are being hunted or watched.

BTW, Clinca is not a term used in Rio. It is only used in Sau Paulo for places similar to casa.

Thanks for the advice. And the correction. I apologize for the confusion. I just assumed SP and Rio would use the same lingo. My bad.
