Rio de Janeiro Reports

Wingman and I are flying into Rio, then connecting on a domestic flight to Sao Paulo.

Do we need to clear immigration in Rio first, and the go check in again to get the connection or can we connect and clear imm in SP?

So, you'll have to claim all your luggage and have it scanned or inspected, then re-check it for your onward flight to Sao Paolo. Once in São Paulo, you'll just claim your luggage and be on your way. You won't go through immigration again because you're already in country.

ABG.

You would have to clear immigration in Rio exit and then check in to SP. What airlines into Rio?

[QUOTE=BackDoorD;1882452]Porcao closed a short while ago. The best Churrascaria (Brazilian style steak house) is Fogo de Chao. Best meat and best scenery. There's a place in Flamengo called Majorica that's got great meat as well. If you want just a single cut, the best high end steak places are Guiseppe Grill in Leblon, Esplanada Grill in Ipanema, or Rubaiyat Rio which is in Jardim Botanico beside the Jockey Club.

Panty droppings restaurants include Sushi Leblon (best sushi in Rio and frequented by celebrities), Gero in Ipanema, Lasai in Humaita (there's one road in Humaita called Visconde de Iraja that's got about 5 great restaurants all in a row), or any of the places on Rua Dias Ferreira, the chique restaurant district in Leblon (Zuka, Brigitte's, and Venga are all pretty good).

For lounges, try Mirroir on the Lagoa, Zero Zero in Gavea, Ovelha Negra in Botafogo, or Mud Bug in Copacabana.

For the hottest girls in the city, go to the Belmonte on Dias Ferreira on Thurs-Sat by about 9. By 11, the place is stacked. None of these places will have pros except maybe MudBug, and if there's nothing there, you're very close to all manner of options in Copa.

For younger, gringo friendly girls, go to Lapa on Friday or Saturday and check out Rio Scenarium, Carioca the Gema or Lapa 40 Graus. All pretty big places with multiple dance / music areas and bars.[/QUOTE]Great list except Majorica in Laranjeiras is not to be recommended IMO. I have tried it several times and meat was chewy and overpriced.

Fogo De Chao in Botafogo is good but meat at Outback's in Botafogo in general I found to be juicy and better.
For Sushi i would say a good option is Sushimar in Laranjeiras-their rodizio is top class and generous and as good as Sushi Leblon-only 4 times cheaper.
For Sushi try Manekineko in Ipanema-i rate that higher than Sushi Leblon.

Made it to VM during the day in early may. Was a Thursday and I arrived early, around 1130 am. 1st time back in 14 years and not much seemed to have changed. Wanted to satisfy my fetishes for pregnant and lactating ladies. After speaking to a few girls in my broken portuguese, I realised that the pregnant thing would be difficult. I did see a less attractive, 30 yo who said she had milk and was about to do a deal when she was happy to demonstrate and just pulled a tit out and pressed it! Not much came out so I deferred for the time being. Was impressed t how brazen some of the ladies were in general. Even met an older lady who spoke English! Anyway, over the next couple of hours I saw 3 ladies. One who was 40 and really skinny and a blanquita. She had that dirty look and quoted 60 reals for haf af hour of oral both ways and anal. I countered 50 and she accepted. She was good in the sack and very wlling to please with DFK etc. Other 2 I had were the semi-lactating 30 yo and a petite but slightly chubby 26 yo black girl who ended up having a pierced pussy. That was a bonus as another fetish. Was surprised how many girls had pierced pussies. Also was introduced to a lady in schoolgirl type outfit who was majorly lactating (again she was happy to demonstrate in the open!) but was too pricey at 75 reals. Another one who said her pussy was pierced got declined for the same reason. Bieng a big guy, going up those spiral staircases was always a struggle, so that put me off going up unless the deal and girl were ideal. Still great value and girls.

DL.

I'm only bringing a carry on bag. That should make it easier. This is my 11th trip but first time that I will spend a few days in SP (before going to Rio). .

Thanks.

I recently completed a trip to Rio. As usual a good time can be had if you know where to look. The exchange rate fluctuated between 3. 55 to 3. 47 during this trip. I was getting 3. 57 at a cambio in Copa.

During this trip, I sampled almost each types of puta outlet available. Although I love the termas, the major termas are just getting too high in cost. Not that I can't afford it, but I don't like blowing money like that if there are cheaper alternatives. Plus I like to save money so that I can take more trips.

Anyways, the only terma I hit was 4 x4 (my favorite) and the prices were still the same as my last trip late last year -$320 are for the basic 40 minutes, either $340 are or $400 are for the 60 minutes (not sure which because the sign doesn't specify and I stick to 40 minutes mostly), also does not include the $50 are entrada if you don't get a girl before 6 pm for the promotion deal. 4 x4 wasn't as packed with guys as usual, but there were plenty of garotas. I ended up getting a couple out of there for 40 minutes each.

I hit an old reliable garota named Lara, who is a 25 year old cute brunette, with a fit body, boob job and wears braces. Been seeing her there for the last 3 years or so. She usually stays to herself, but is constantly going up. Those who are into backdoor, she is definitely down. She is definitely good to go if you are at 4 x4. Sorry she doesn't allow photos.

The other was an old 4 x4 vet Vanessa age 28 with long black hair. She was featured in Playboy and had her picture posted on the wall at 4 x4 for a while a few years back. Never did her in the past, but she gained quite a few pounds. Not usually my thing but she was coming on strong, so I went for it. Good hit, did the standard fair (BBBJ, etc), but the cream of the crop was the BBBJTC at the end. Recommended if you don't mind the extra pounds. The total damage was $710 are, which included the entrada and a coulple of drinks (water for me). So basically, at the exchange rate at the time $200.

That was about the extent of my regular terma run. The rest was made up of prives, mini termas, VM, freelancers and my regular babes. The remainder of this trip report will just be a quick rundown of some of the more well known spots I hit, so nothing new to most on here.

As always, everytime I hit Centro, I always peep my head and check out all of the mini termas or clubs as they call them. As everyone who frequents these spot know they are not the best of places as far as cleansiness and quality of garotas, but you can always find a diamond in the rough. The one that usually stand out to me is Vanessa Club 05 on Leandro Martins 03, which is on the other side of Presidente Vargas after you make a left from the Uruguiana metro station. Like all the other ones in the area the prices are as follows: $50 are-15 minutes, $60 are-20, $75 are-30, $85 are-40, $140 are-60. No entrada, but they will try to tack on $5 are for condoms, so make sure to advise if you bring your own. I couple of spots will charge a $10 are to enter, which includes a couple of drinks.

I've hit Vanessa's a few times and to me they seem to have better talent than the others. It's usually packed with Brazilians. Another place that's usually packed is Club 13 on Praa Olavo Bilac 13. It's on a side street off of Rua Buenos Aires between Uruguaina and Rio Branco. There is another spot two doors away Club 15, but the talent there is usaully not good, hence less crowded. I was finally able to hit 13, when there was less of a crowd and the talent was halfway decent. Although I will say I hit one tall gorgeous mulatta babe with a great body named Keila. It was late, so I hit it for the lowest price available before they closed. Again not the best of conditions, considering I have to stand with my shoes on to hit, but can't be beat for $14 bucks and a dime piece, who could compete at any major terma in my opinion.

I hit the regular Centro prives like Duda, Bel Parzer, etc. Unfortunately for me, I usually don't roll out to Centro early enough to catch them fresh, but the talent was decent. Again can't beat the $150 are for 40 minutes.

Made it to VM only once this time, at night as usual. As always, you have to make numerous stolls through the halls to find a good or decent one. In my case, my patience paid off, when I found a nice blonde morena clara named Taty standing outside of a bar in the left hall. Cool chick, hit mostly doggy, while standing as usual, but she laid out a large clean 4 x4 towel on the cama and convinced me to lay down while she rode cowgirl to complete. Not bad for $65 are for 30 minutes.

Hit a few other spots in Centro, but nothing that stood out.

As far as Copa, it's the same old stuff. Mabs was mostly bad. Mostly the same chicks every night. Of course there were a handful of beauties, I even spotted a beauty I did at 4 x4 last year over there. As usual the chicks are mostly going for short time, which could range from as low as $150 are to as high as quoting $800 are from what I heard. I personally don't go out of my way to pick up anything over there. I usually average maybe one babe a trip from Mabs.

Like someone said earlier, Dolce Vita appears to be going downhill since Balcony closed. At least it appears that way from the outside. Casablanca, which is around the corner from DV on Rua Duvivier is still going. But I haven't been able to spark enough interest to check it out. Sensoo on Princess Isabel, which is around the corner from Mabs, have been pretty aggressive, going around trying to get guys into their club lately. Never been inside, but I know it's the same type of clip joint like Franks (closed), Ciccolina and Barbarella.

I went into K-night formerly known as Kalabria (everyone still calls it that) once (second time ever). The cover is $50 are which includes 2 drinks. As stated before, it's more of an after hour club, with mostly the same garotas from Mabs and those that prefer indoor hooking. They also promote banging on the premises downstairs for $50 are. I gave it a shot after finding a nice cutie and negotiating $150 are, since I'm not too crazy about bringing girls back to my apartment, especially from Mabs. I would advise anyone considering this at this place to forget about it. I did it once, years ago at the original Kalabria and the room wasn't bad, but at K nights it was horrible. It was a leather sofa, funky chair and a table with a TV. In other words, somewhere to lounge and watch TV, not made for banging at all. Anyways, despite my disappointment, the girl was cool and pretty good. We made the best of it and got the job done. Lesson learned.

Although the Copa scene is mostly dead during the day and early evening, it's not all a wash. Delerio Massagens (Hilario Gouveia 66,201) and Eden Spa (Av Nossa Sra Copacabana 583,401) are the best deals going over there (IMHO). The prices are about the same as the downtown prives at $140 are for 30 minutes and $200 are for 60 minutes (they charge an extra $25 are if you use a credit card). Although I didn't hit Eden this time, I believe it's the same price as I stated above. I hit Delerio twice and the talent was fairly nice considering I hit it late one day and when it was busy the other. I would recommend Laisa 27 year old mulatta with a nice body and nice natural tits. The best I've had out of that place.

Last time I was there, I was ripped off and paid $250 are for an hour each time, since the guy outside walked us in each time. Thanks to this site I found out the real deal and knew what not to do next this time. Anyways, the Egytian guy is no longer hanging out in front of Delerio, but have moved over to the building where Eden is located. Bottom line is, don't let these guys take you to any spot. The business will charge you an extra $50 are, which is used to pay their commission, unlike the old taxi deal with the terma, which didn't come out of your bill. So beware of this scam. As far as the the other massgae spots in Copa, I wasn't too impressed last time I checked them out, so I didn't even bother this time.

Overall, Rio is still a good deal if you hit the right spots, especially with the current exchange rate. Unfortunately for some, it's not the point and click type of place like it was in the Help, MP and ho beach days. If you are still stuck on the way it was back in the days, you will have a hard time there. Do your research and have a plan. Back in the days, even if you came in blind, you could always run into cool guys you could hang with and check out the different spots. These days there isn't as many old vets going down (at least not in Copa), so you are on your own mostly. Anyways, nothing new in this report, that haven't been said before, just my 2 cents.

Hi ABG,

This is what I was referring to in my PM. You have details?

Especially, since I'm bringing a first timer and hyped the place up so much! Are we going to be disappointed?

You need to wait till next year (after the Olympics) or better yet till you get the all clear on here.

That is a nice report, Everything sounds the same Like when I went last year. Don't worry guys Brazil will return to the glory days after the Olympics. I think middle 2017 will be the rebirth. Brazil is only getting worst every day. The new acting president.

Is a right winger and wants to cut all social programs to please the rich investment elite Class. Everything is getting gutted, so your going to see a lot of people in the street, hungry GDP everywhere by 2017 mark my words.

Can anyone point me to any Google Earth layer files with points of interest indicated? I was going to make one myself, but thought I'd check with the masses first to see if one was already in existence.

I thought I remembered being pointed to one back in 2009, but I can't remember.

Thanks!

So you were in Rio but we never got any on the ground reports from you.

Are you saving them up for one long post?
