Belem

I was in Belm for about 10 days. Before I left for Brazil, I spent a year learning Portuguese, and made a number of contacts

Thanks a lot for your report! It's always a treat reading about underrated Brazil destinations.

I was in Belém for about 10 days...

Belém, I think, is worth considering. The food is unique and sometimes amazing, the people are very friendly, and there's some interesting destinations nearby. Learning Portuguese to the level I did made a huge difference because English speakers in Belém are super-rare. But if you have the chops, it's worth it!

Thanks for a good report on Belém!

Although not P4P, your report has some interesting ideas and places to consider, close to and around Belém, to explore, if as you say, one has the "chops." (...kkkk!)

As always, it's good to get a different perspective on how a BM, decides to share their adventures, in some of Brazil's far off places.

Thanks again for sharing!

I was in Belém for about 10 days. Before I left for Brazil, I spent a year learning Portuguese, and made a number of contacts on Brazil Cupid. My original trip was to have been Fortaleza, Fernando de Noronha, Belém, Macapá, and Manaus. For reasons I won't go into here I cut the trip down to just Belém and Macapá.

I was doing online chats on Whatsapp with several women in Belém, and decided to meet the one that seemed the most friendly. We met for dinner and clubbing, and we connected immediately, and so well that I didn't look elsewhere for other women. The sex was absolutely crazy good, and there was so much of it I ran out of condoms and Viagra, then found I could get it up 3 x in 8 hours without Viagra. Not bad for age 65! The only extra money spent was on groceries for her and her daughter. We're still in contact now.

The Vila Container place is still there. My woman said it was usually busy but was also for young people. We went to a bar where they were playing Paraense rock on the first night, then went 3 x to a restaurant named Prajá Gastronomia, which has good food at reasonable prices and live bands most nights. That would be a good place to take your girl, should you visit Belém.

There are some interesting nearby destinations from Belém. Ilha de Combú has many restaurants and bars to visit, some with swimming pools and places to swim in the river. It's a quick boat rode from the Terminal Hidroviária, close to the Parque Zoobotanico Manuel de Garças. Further out is the town of Soure, on Ilha Marajó. It's a 3 or so hour boat ride from the Terminal Hidroviário. Soure is a super-chill small town with many secluded beaches and what looked like some nice pousadas. I didn't look for any action so not sure if it's there but it's a good place to take someone.

(NOTE: yes, there is a Terminal Hidroviária and a Terminal Hidroviário, and they serve different destinations, and they are far apart!

The first hotel I stayed at, Rede Andrede Docas, was located in Ciudad Velho, a known dangerous area. I took all precautions during daylight and had no trouble, and used only Ubers at night, which are plentiful and cheap. The hotel was okay but not great. Another, nicer hotel in a better location is the Hotel Atrium Quinta de Pedras. If you spring for the "Master Suite" level of room, you'll find mirrors across from the sofa near the room entrance, and my girl and I had a lot of fun with that.

Belém, I think, is worth considering. The food is unique and sometimes amazing, the people are very friendly, and there's some interesting destinations nearby. Learning Portuguese to the level I did made a huge difference because English speakers in Belém are super-rare. But if you have the chops, it's worth it!

Belem definitely does not get much love from previous bm'ers. The majority of past reports are outdated and slightly negative in nature so when I arrived to town I came with low expectations. I figured coming to belem for a long weekend would serve as a good stopover on my way to Manaus...

IMO, belem is a city where there is absolutely no need to seek out working girls...

Nice report and kudos on the non-pro info, from my second fav jungle city. I've always enjoyed Belem and thought the action was also pretty decent for "off the beaten path". In the past I've had some minor success with non-pros, but found them in Belem to be a little clingy, when it became time to leave.

Thanks again, for the non-pro update in Belem. Looking forward to a possible trip report out of Manaus. BTW, you're probably also likely to find similar non-pro action in Manaus.

Good Luck!

Belem definitely does not get much love from previous bm'ers. The majority of past reports are outdated and slightly negative in nature so when I arrived to town I came with low expectations. I figured coming to belem for a long weekend would serve as a good stopover on my way to Manaus. On my way into the central part of the city I passed by the famous boate locomotivo. I knew if all else failed, I could venture there for a quality evening of entertainment.

IMO, belem is a city where there is absolutely no need to seek out working girls. There are loads of civilian non pros in the 18-22 age bracket that gave me plenty of attention. I went to an outdoor complex of bars called Vila container which is made up of old storage containers stacked on top of one another. In all I would say there were roughly 15+ bars within the zone. The area was packed with groups of friendly locals and very flirty girls. I admit that I am well passed my prime years. I'm 42, my hairline is beginning to recede and gray hairs are slowly taking over my previous natural color. I relay this information because I want to paint the picture about how much attention I was getting from younger woman half my age. I made out with three girls who initiated the encounters and ended up taking another one back to my hotel for a night of pleasure. The following night I returned to Vila container where I met another group of locals. They took me to a club called Woodstock and I made out with 2 18 year olds who simply introduced themselves, asking me first if I was straight or gay and then if I was single. The next question was if I felt like kissing. Wow! Belem! While off the beaten path, I can recommend a visit. Not too much to do during the daytime and the city is run down and kind of rough on the eyes but the real fun is to be had at night. I look forward to visiting again.

In Belem do the girls pay attention to age of her partner? Can a 58 years old (god looking) to spot a 25-30 years old girl (non-pro)?

You ask a lot of questions in a lot of different forums.

About time for some answers.

Tell us all about your experiences.

That was a typo in my last post, she was asking are $200, so $60 American for over two hours of no-holds barred fun.

I've been in Belém for about a week and like everywhere else, the best girls are online now. There are plenty of horny non-pros at the bars and on the street, I often catch myself sharing a look with a good looking lady here. I'm here for work and didn't have time to sit around at bars hoping for a good catch, so I went online.

Found two stunners on vivalocal and Fatal Model, the two most popular listing sites. Manuela was 24 and Flavia was 30 ( looks about 22, but she admitted she was actually 30). They cost a pretty penny if you were Brazilian but as an American the exchange rate is phenomenal right now. Definitely luxury girls and it showed. Manuela actually charged for the real time we spent. I spent two and a half hours with Flavia and she didn't bat an eye over the are $200 that was supposedly what she charged for an hour. But, we both had a great time. It was my first time experiencing the Brazilian love motels, and they are a ton of fun. Both girls enjoyed pictures and the mirrors make it awesome.

The girls here are all crazy for anal. Manuela explained that even more than the rest of Brazil the Paraense girls are, as she put it in Portuguese, all "anal sluts". I loved it! Both girls did oral "sem camisinha" and enjoyed some heavy and very wet grinding before putting on the condom. Girls here are not into finishing with oral like some other places but I'm fine with that.

I think you need to speak a decent amount of Portuguese and be comfortable navigating alone to have any fun. But, my Portuguese is pretty poor and I was fine. As was mentioned above, the taxi drivers are universally helpful and honest. They also just started Uber here though I didn't try it. The prices were significantly cheaper than a cab but very few cars right now. Still, you need to be able to tell the taxi drivers where to go, and know at least with google maps where you are. Between picking up the girl in your taxi and going to the motel it's easy to get very, very lost in a worldwide of confusing streets. But, most of the girls were in São Brás or other barrios outside Centro and Cidade Velho.

Have fun and don't forget to try all the forest fruit flavors at Cairu. The Amazon Beer at Estação das Docas is incredible. The Cupulate Porter is very good and the IPA is very serviceable. If you are craving a good beer apparently it now exists in Belém, it sure didn't when I was here before! I remember Antarctica being the best around, now Cerpa has export Tijuca and suddenly the beer is good. Oh, and the açaí com peixe at ver-o-peso is to die for. Get it with dourada catfish and make sure your wallet stays in your front pocket while you are there.

Belem often reminded me of years ago when it was a good thing to be a gringo in Brazil. Friendly people and believe it or not, helpful taxi drivers who didn't overcharge.

Hi, Sunset. Thanks for your great update on Belém. Made me miss Belém.

Belem often reminded me of years ago when it was a good thing to be a gringo in Brazil. Friendly people and believe it or not, helpful taxi drivers who didn't overcharge.

The key bars downtown are Paraiso, DVD, and Saideira.

Saideira (formerly Boulevard / Barroco) opens between 10 PM and 11 PM, and can close after sunrise. They are slow to get started but can be full by midnight. Lots of very good looking girls who act and dress like sisters. Plenty of choice, unless you insist on long legs, in which case you are out of luck in Belem. Strip shows every hour or so. R$10 entrance. R$ 10 beers.

Saideira is easy to find with a big sign including a sign advertising guest strippers. Just down from Ver-O-Peso Hotel Their motto is "Where your night of pleasure begins."

I first went to Parasio on a Saturday night around 9 PM. Things were winding down and almost empty by 10 PM. I carpooled with a couple of girls to Saideira only to find it wasn't open yet. We went to Hang Burg to pass the time. Hang is a large open-air restaurant. The food's not good and the live music is very off key, but the atmosphere is great. No girl would refuse an invitation to Enge.

Paraiso opens in the afternoon, R$ 5 entrance. Friday around 6 PM it is packed, at least a hundred girls. These places remind me of junior high dances. The girls stand in groups talking with each other and the boys do the same. Even though there may be more guys than girls there are plenty of girls to choose from.

Paraiso is on the last block of Rua Manoel Barata to the west, easy to miss, no sign. It is right next to Casa de Lampadas down the block from Mundo de Lampadas.

DVD, aka Altas Horas, is very discreet. It's in an old building on Travessa Sete de Septembro around the corner from Paraiso. Number 324 is painted on the right side of the door and 326 is on very small ceramic numbers to the left of the door. Inside the theme is Harley Davidson with a motorcycle on stage in place of a stripper. They open before noon and close by 7:30. Business is slow but a few good looking girls come floating by, a relaxed place to hang out.

My only tirp to Locomotiva was on a Monday about 7:00 PM. The bar was closed, but there were three girls standing in the dark in front of the motel. So, all I know is, don't go there on Sunday or Monday night.

The bar at Rua Gaspar Viana 196 is only open at night and has a bad reputation including the drugging of drinks. During the day, across the street, at number 213 is a small bar right next to the old O Liberal building. It has a tattered banner, see. See. Ribeiro. They were very friendly. I stopped by several times to cool off.

Beirada is but a vague memory.

There is a small bakery / market, Deli Cidade, at Presidente Vargas 325. They have fresh bread and surprisingly good croissants.

[Sperto]

Does anybody know if these bars are still operating?

I don't know. I havn't been to Beirada since 2008. It's a fun and interesting place to visit, drink beer and watch strange people. 13 bars together in an alley. Caution, it's definitely a dangerous place with lots of bandits. Few taxi-drivers will agree to take you there.

Bereida

Only stopped in here all too briefly but will head for it in future.

Accurately described in a previous post. I got a taxi from Docas, and was treated to a lecture on how it was too dirty, too dangerous, too nasty and horrible, for anyone to want to go there. I said I agree and take me anyway.

It's actually a lot cleaner than much of Ver-O-Peso, but surrounded by no-man's land for more than a short walk. On the Guama River side of town. A series of bars with disarmingly cute local girls and burly local guys. A refreshingly different slice of life.

Tomorrow I'm going to Manaus and I will be staying in Condomnio do Edifcio Antnio Simoes for 7 nights. I expect I'll make up for the missed nights here in Belem while in Manaus. I'll map all of the rooms there. Are the doors marked to make it obvious that they are privs?

No, they are not. Go after the sala numbers I've listed. Also ask the porteiro, he's helpful. Have fun.

Thanks for a great report! Makes me wants to go back to Belm. Did you notice if the clubs Altas Horas (Travessa 7 de Setembro, 324) or Boulevard/Barroco (in the port, in front of Ver-o-peso) are still open?

On my first night I settled in very late. On my second day I was only walking around. On the 3rd day, today I went to Paraiso. I was supposed to stay at Hotel Grao Para which is walking distance to Paraiso. I showed up at the hotel at 8:30 PM and they said they were still cleaning rooms. What a joke. They said I can wait, and there are people waiting before me, or they will send me to Hotel Sagres. It seemed like an OK deal, since Hotel Sagres costs more, but the location sucks.

Needless to say I only went to Paraiso. Tomorrow I'm going to Manaus and I will be staying in Condomnio do Edifcio Antnio Simoes for 7 nights. I expect I'll make up for the missed nights here in Belem while in Manaus. I'll map all of the rooms there. Are the doors marked to make it obvious that they are privs? In Hong Kong ladies would put stuff like Christmas decorations on their door.

[Sperto]

I arrived at Paraiso today about 5:30 PM...
