Rio de Janeiro Reports

[QUOTE=BigB18;2186169]I don't know who you are referring to. I just wanted to know if anyone can recommend a good car rental agency down there.[/QUOTE]You might want to try TripAdvisor!

[QUOTE=BigB18;2186169]I don't know who you are referring to. I just wanted to know if anyone can recommend a good car rental agency down there.[/QUOTE]I use Localiza and am very happy with their service. They were recently bought by Hertz. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I have been to Brazil about 75 times and often for months at a time. I have never driven a car and doubt I ever will.

For local transportation there are buses, metro, taxis, Uber, vans, bicycles and walking. If you are adventurous you can even hop on the back of a motorcycle to take you up the mountain to your favorite favela.

Longer trips, such as to Paraty, Ilha Grande, Buzios, Visconde de Mauá can be accomplished by taxi or comfortable air conditioned buses. Santo Dumont has regular flights to São Paulo.

I have driven in many countries around the world, just never saw a reason, especially given some of the risks, to do so in Brazil.

[QUOTE=Baksonlee;2185718]It is my first time in Rio, speak very little Portuguese and I am staying just 3 minutes walk away from Barbarella. I had no intention of going to Barbs before coming to Rio, but after reading about TomJacking's great experience there, I thought maybe the place had changed. I knew the place closes at 4 am, so I went in at 3 am to see if there would be an opportunity of taking a girl for all night at that time, since the club would have almost closed by the time I would be leaving.[/QUOTE]There is a lot of lessons learned to take from your report. Thank you for sharing.

Researching my Sunday night in SP options and came across this gem. She is from Rio. Anyone have any firsthand intel? I read her three reviews and they sound a bit too similar maybe. Would like some other confirmation. She was quick to respond and good English so looks promising otherwise. Thanks.

I agree that if you're staying in Rio or Sao Paulo you don't need a car. However, if you're going to be spending any time in Minas Gerais you will definitely need a car. It would be impossible to stay there for more than a week without a car. I'm sure there are many cities where this is the case. Even in Sao Paulo if you want to go to the beach and spend more than a couple of days you will wish you had a car. I have driven in many places in Brazil and Rio is the only city where I would definitely advise against it and luckily you won't need a car there.

[QUOTE=BeenBob;2186481]There is a lot of lessons learned to take from your report. Thank you for sharing.[/QUOTE]All the places where you have to pay upfront are gringo traps.

Priives boates etc.

30 min is never 30 min.

They always cheat on you.

I used to record my sessions just to see the exact time what they spend with me.

The result was always negative.

So now I changed my tactics.

I use my way or highway kind of thing.

If they don't let me pay after.

I just walk off.

I would pass. Not so much for the money, but I don't want to waste my time when I'm over there.

What was your tell on the two fake ones?

Now this girl is hot hot with quite a few reviews. No English I don't think but I could Manage there given her awesomeness.

Real deal?

[URL]https://www.photoacompanhantes.com/tds-positivos-juju-21975819457[/URL][/QUOTE]There are hundreds and hundreds of photos of Brazilian escorts on the internet. I personally don't think posting random ads is an effective use of the forum. There are amazing photos of mystery escorts on dozens of Brazilian websites with no histories on the primary review board.

As someone mentioned, gp-[URL]guia.net[/URL] is the best source. Unlike the websites that sell ad space and allow just about anyone to post reviews, gp-[URL]guia.net[/URL] tries to ban shills. Regardless, you should only put stock in gp-guia reviews from frequent reviewers. Gp-guia is like this forum where you can see a reviewer's history.

This woman Juju Safadynha has self-promoted on Gp-guia, but has no reviews. She's also been on Twitter since April. She could be the next great SP escort (still not sure why you posted on the RJ forum) or she could be another hustler who comes and goes.

As I always recommend, figure out how to navigate the local review board gp-[URL]guia.net[/URL]. Even though it's in Portuguese, it's not that difficult. After you find the highly-recommended girls, work back to their posted photos and ads to determine your interest.

[QUOTE=WyattEarp;2186942]There are hundreds and hundreds of photos of Brazilian escorts on the internet. I personally don't think posting random ads is an effective use of the forum.[/QUOTE]Exactly. Why do people do this in many threads? Now if they tried the person out and came to make a field report it would be different. That is like me going to all the termas, taking pics of the girls, and coming to ask input on each one. If you see something that you like, try it out and THEN make a report about your experience.

After you have found a girl you are interested in, try to find out if she has a Twitter account (most of the good ones do). There you can see the girl's photos which are not so heavily Putoshopped as the ones in their advertisements and use Whatsapp, not Twitter's DM, to communicate with her. I also always asked if the price I saw in gpguia is valid to avoid the gringo pricing.

The reason people ask questions that you vets of Rio find silly is that there is no one spot to go to read all the best tips and techniques for a certain country. Instead you have to RTFF assiduously to try to discern the nuggets. I am sure this is by design because it would be easy to summarize the collective knowledge.

So I have RTFF exhaustively over a period of weeks. But only recently found that Sunday is lame. I have also only recently found the local forums gpguia and the other one or two that escape me right now. And I am very narrow in my taste so I can't work from reviews backwards. Fortunately photoacompanhantes links to reviews so this is great. And I am researching 10 or so girls. As you saw I had read the reviews and thought just looked slightly suspect, so I came to this learned group for advice. And got great advice from Nordico. Thanks.

I did not know you could look up the background on a reviewer. So one more thing learned the hard way. Thanks for that tip Nordico.

One final comment. I don't really understand peoples need to semi-flame simple questions. If you don't want to answer it then don't. Some people are more generous with their time and knowledge and I applaud them.

Look for acompanhantes with a lot positive TDs (test drive is local slang for sessions / meetings). Click on the girl's name and find her web ads. Some web links will be outdated. The girls advertise all over and often change websites. On the top under her name, you will see her resume of test drives. You will see the number of positives, negatives and neutrals. Pisada na Bola means there was some mistake or disappointment, but something short of negative. I myself always look for reviewers with extensive history like I would on any review site. If the girl has been around awhile, look at the pricing in the recent posts. Young talent typically increases their price and older stars sometimes decrease their prices over time. Some girls offer 90 minutes as their usual session. And yes, WhatsApp using a web translator.

If you are really interested in the details of the reviews, use a webpage translator or learn some words. Face (rosto), breasts (seios), ass (bunda), corpo (body) and oral sem camisinha (oral without condom. Anal is anal.

I apologize to our forum host for discussing another forum, but there is simply no way for us mostly travelers to know the escort scene like the local Portuguese speakers.
