Fortaleza

hotsam:

I should be there in and around that time. Let's talk a little more about it closer to the time. Looking forward to it.

PRELIMANRY FORTALEZA SHOUT-OUT!

I've been here for a day-and-a-half, now, and this place if fucking going off bigtime! It's out of hand. Last night, Thursady, in that half-block run of the street where all those bars/clubs are (in Iracema) there must have been about 700 girls to choose from. At least.

Prices are great, too. I got this Gisele look-alike with an Eastern--European-porno sized natural rack (that's BIG if you don't know) and her roomate (a solid 7.5) for 150R at their apartment (!!). Crazy. The girls in that menage-a-trois were the third and fourth of the day. I got out for about 300R for 4 girls.

Are any other of you sportsmen here right now? We need to get together and do some serious phucking. I should be here through Tues. Drop me an email.

Peace out,
JW (jwadd88@yahoo.com)

O.k. -- maybe not 700. But lots. Hundreds -- and really cute, too. As for the high season -- high like Everest.

FORTALEZA UPDATE:

I`ve attached my old report to the bottom of this one. Not much has changed over the last two years, so this update should be comparatively short.

The place to go -- unequivocally -- is Iracema. This is the strip of beach a little to the south of the developed strip to the north (Beira Mar). All the discos/clubs/venues seems to congregate here. While there are other boites around town, I never had occasion or reason to go to them.

The Iracema scene concentrates around disco Don Angelo. Across the street is club Europa, and down a little is the newly-moved Desigual.

None of the places in this block have facilities. Take the girls either to the nearby 30R/3hours sex-motel Village, to the pousada Europa (20R) in Beira Mar, back to your hotel, or to any of the other (only) lower end pousadasmotels in the area.

Some of these places, also , do have an entrance fee (Club Europa, Don Angelo), varying from 5-10R. Drink prices are a little higher than average, but not too high.

On any given night Thurs.-Sat., the girls flock here by the hundreds. What really consistantly surprised my about Fortaleza was just how cute, cheap and attitude-free most of these girls were. Lotsa 7s and 8s, and many 9s can be found in this pussy-herd.

Prices are within the 100-150R range, depending on the girl, the day and the time of night. Everything is (of course) negotiable.

The places gets going every night of the week. It`s slower, but still decent, on Sun. and Mon., picking up steam the further advanced the week gets.

Daytime action primarily (as far as I could tell) happens around Beira Mar. The girls (often the same ones you saw the night previous in Iracema) seem to congregate around the beach-bars in front of MacDonalds. Can`t miss it.

That`s it. Pretty simple. One thing -- sometimes one place is happening over another on a given night. Desigual, also, seemed to be the place everyone went to for the last hour (sometimes). Haha. Wish I could be definitive. Just walk around.

ONE WORD OF CAUTION:

While this scene is happening and by-and-large bullshit-free, there were enough girls scamming here to make it worth commenting on. No big deal -- but expect that the classic scams to be in effect.

One girl pointed out a friend of her`s who is notorious for drugging gringos.

Another friend (a gringo) got ripped off by the old, pay-first then emergency (pre-arranged) phone call from friend who then shows up with taxi and boyfriend, scam. Can you believe this same shark showed up the next night, with another gringo on her arm? The fucking temerity.

And finally, some (of the barfly-ish) girls will latch on to you and not let you go. If you disengage yourself at one place, go to another and start up a conversation with another girl, the first will step right the fuck over to you and start talkingtalkingtalking -- ruining your mack.

Most of these pariahs, though, hang out at the bar at the end of the non-beach-side of the street with the red chairs. Can`t miss it.

Incidentally, this is where the after-hours party starts up when the other venues (sadly) close at 3 or 4, depending on the night.

P.S. I found the Zipi Bar to be dead at all times of day or night (see below).

FORTALEZA:

Fortaleza has sort of a confusing scene. It starts at about 9pm, goes 'til dawn, and operates on bar-hop principle. I.e., girls at one place at one time may show up at another later that night.

Soooo, comments such as "this place had X amount of girls, and they were X attractive" don't work as well here as they do in other cities in Brazil.

O.k. -- downtown, starting about 9pm, there are basically two venues: one, a boite (sex-club) and two, an open-terrace bar for working-girls.

The boite is across the street from the large disco "Pirata" (sorry, can't remember its name), and the bar is named "Vip", a few streets away. This area is the large bar-restaurant district on the southern end of the beach.

The boite was lame -- about 10 girls. Vip is o.k., about 30 women, but none very good looking. Prices quoted were about 100 reals. Neither provided rooms.

Boite "Studio Tropical" is another boite way out of town. It's about 25 minutes via cab heading inland. I don't think it's worth the trip. The night I was there it featured about 15 very unexceptional women, the finest of which (and the only one I talked to) asked for 200 reals. No beds on site; must go to a motel.

On the other end of the beach is another small boite: "Sunset." It, as the other two, is lame and not worth your time. 5-7 below average women.

But don't despair...

The main beach promenade, and the large street about one block behind it, are teeming with free-lance girls. Maybe 50-75 on any given night. Many are really good looking. Prices started at about 50 reals. There are many pousadas/quick-time motels in the area.

The best concentration for these girls, in my opinion, were the streets around Sunset boite.

I know many of you avoid street-walkers. This is problematic in Fortaleza -- for many of the girls you see walking the streets in the evening show up at the final meeting-place (the disco I will describe below) at 1:30-2 a.m.

This disco is "Desigual", and is the place where most girls end up at the end of the evening. Indeed, most boites close at midnight, as they know their girls will be taking off to this disco then.

Desigual is a good, packed, low-scale disco on the order of "Help" in Rio. On any given night there're about 150 women -- most (as always) unattractive, but there always seems to be enough honeys to go around.

It's about 10 reals for the entrance, and most girls ask somewhere between 150-200 reals. There are no beds/rooms here, so you must leave with them and go to your hotel (or a sex-motel).

Incidentally, there are a few really big discos that some taxi driver might try to (innocently) convince you are sex-discos, etc. There names are "Muccalippi," "Pirata" and "Africa." As far as I could tell, there are no working girls here.

Pirata, though, might be a good place to orient yourself, as there is a boite across the street, Desigual down the road toward the hotels off the beach, and many free-lancers walking around or sitting in the numerous cafes here.

Lastly, there's a large disco on the high bluff overlooking Fortaleza. The area is called "Mirante," and it's the only disco there. It's a nice place to hang out, and I was assured by my taxi driver that there're working girls here. I didn't go in -- but it looked like it had potential. Give it a try (Max) and tell me.

Happy Hunting,

Canoa Quebrada

This is the beach resort one and a half hour's drive from Fortaleza. I was there a couple of years ago, only stayed a few days though. Nice place to enjoy the beach, but not many girls, four or five that looked unengaged, at most. Some hippie action, plenty of dope around, very hazardous because it's a small place where people are easily located and the Feds like fishing there to net strangers.

I stayed at Miguel's and he himself agreed that Canoa is not a place to pick up girls. In fact, if you want to go there, bring your own girls from Fortaleza or elsewhere, and avoid week-ends or bank holidays because Brazilians congregate there in droves for short trips.

Regarding the Ceará and maybe other places to the North, the quality of girls is not what you get down South. I was told by a Brazil connoisseur that you should not cross an East-West line that goes through Recife if you want to find girls whose beauty is representative of Brazilian womanhood.

Hello Folks,

Please send a private message via the WSG Forum's Private Message system.

WARNING: DO NOT STAY AT "HOTEL VILLAMARIS" when in Fortaleza.

One of the staff members (presumably the maid or the night manager) got the key to my safe, wrote down my credit card numbers, and made DUPLICATE FUCKING COPIES of them.

This/these fucks have been running around town for the last few days racking up about 3000USD in charges on my cards. Fraud protection will hopefully take care of it -- but I've had to cancel the cards and I'm not sure I'll be able to get replacements. Sigh. I still have 22 days left in my trip.

I've traveled/sported through almost 40 countries and have never had a single money problem in the past. I guess fate was saving up for a big one.

JW

JW, i'm really sorry to hear about that : i strongly hope that you'll be able to finish your trip in good conditions ...

Take care

Report - 2 weeks in Fortaleza
hotel Casa de Praia - Iracema - very good, next to nightlife, no problem with girls
beach - the last time most of "barracas" in beira mar wr closed.
Praia do futuro is better. Atlantis is very good but working girls
cannot go inside (only with man)
nightlife: All bar and discos are in Iracema area - Zippy bar free entrance - Cafe' du mar 6 rs with free drink - Dom Angelo 10rs no free drink - Disegual free - Europa 5rs (not sure)
My opinion: walk around the free bar until 1am and then go to
Don Angelo (2 floor - disco) - I think it's a very funny place and many times i stayed inside until 4 am dancing with girls, drinking and....
Since 2002 prices increased about 15% in reais (and more the
exchange...)
Many girls ask for 150, but never pay more then 100 (range is 50-100)

Hotsam, in comparison to your trip last year, do you thing things are better or worst in terms of mongering action?

I have heard the local mayor is beggining a crackdown on prostitution, and that might be the reason all those barracks are closed in Beira-Mar.

Do you think Fortaleza is still a highly recommended place to mongering activities?

Thanks in advance

Montecristo

I was in Fortaleza 2 days ago, and indeed most barracka's on Beira-Mar are closed now, because of this crackdown. The two barracka's across the street from McDonalds are still open though, most girls go there after a day at the beach.

On Praia do Futuro, since the girls aren't allowed to go to Atlantiz now solo, they all go to the barracka next door, called "Coco Beach".

I can comparise Fortal only to Natal, and i think Fortal is better.
No problem with girls, the number of them is more higher than the last year, and i enjoy the new discos and bars. This year i think nightlife is better than the last.
Only one problem: too many tourists for a low season!!!!!
Someone tell me about last august: 15.000 tourists (9000 italians) - 1500 girls!!!!!!
bye
