Manaus

[QUOTE=Hoof Hunter]Thanks for the quick response.
Would you recommend the Plaza Hotel or Hotel 10 de Julho? If not, would you be so kind as to provide some names of other hotel options in that general price range?[/QUOTE]
Plaza Hotel might be decent. Hotel 10 de Julho seems to be a backpacker-option. There are several dozens of options. Some very high class and some very bottom-low-aimed-to-backpackers.

Judging by your demands I think Taj Mahal should be your best option. Close by you have Hotel Brasil which is cheaper. It's also on Av Getulio Vargas, in the next block after the restaurant with comida à quilo.

BTW, this restaurant is excellent and cheap. Don't miss trying their desserts. Specially the Torta alemã. Mmmmmm :)

The place I stay at is actually a motel (for short time sessions). They make a special deal for me and don't really appreciate gringos in general. It suits me perfectly but I will not even mention it here.

If you choose Taj Mahal you'll be in an excellent location.
- 2 minutes walk to Teatro Amazonas.
- 5 min walk to downtown.
- 8 min to the port.
- Lots of cafés/restaurants within 5 min.
- 3 internetcafés within 3 min.
- VERY important, less than 5 min to Remulos.
- Buses to all parts of Manaus just outside the Hotel.

In Centro closer to the port you'll have many more options. The problem is that Centro at night is extremely deserted and a bit unsafe for first-timers in Manaus.

Hunting for regular girls. Actually there are some clubs in Centro that are quite OK, but all the major forró-clubs are quite far away from Centro. This is the only thing I dislike about Manaus (except for the heavy raining). There are buses that can take you to just about all the clubs, but when returning you can expect a R$ 30 taxi-ride.

Thanks Sperto. That's what I was looking for. Much appreciated. I'll do a quick report back when I completed the trip next month.

They are the lovely angels of the Amazon.

It must be against the law to tell other forum members to avoid Remulos when going to Manaus. Like, "If you go Paris avoid going to see the Eiffel Tower.[/QUOTE]

Those are just the types of ugly women I'm looking for...................LOL

Hi, I will reach Manaus the next year and I like to get a girl friend experience with a beautiful amazon girl for one week. I'd like to know how much money I have to spend for her every day (around). I am 52 old good looking man.
I thank you

It depends on the girl.

If she's a regular girl, dinner and some shopping will do just fine.

If she's a pro, you have to add money. How much is impossible to say. I guess that if you offer her something like R$ 500 for staying with you for one week she'll be happy. Except for being your Gf she can be your personal guide in Manaus.

Hi all locals in Manaus

I need some quick response from you... Today I was walking along Rua Lobo D'Almada, trying to find Remulos but I just couldn't!!!
I walked the street both directions, found number 229 and 239 but not 233.
Between these two houses there was only huge empty "parking space" or something similar.

So please someone tell me where the hell is this place. Tomorrow is my last night in town and I want to feel something really sleazy :o).
The Ponta Negro has been good for me so far, but something really "pro" would be nice for last night...

You enter R Lobo in the direction from Teatro Amazonas. 100 metres down on the right side you'll find a strip-club Aquarius (?). Just about next door is Remulos. Don't use the entrance to the hotel/motel part. Enter in the alley-looking entrance. Buy a ticket and enter in Paradise.

Usually several taxis outside. On the other side of the street there is a tree. There is a guy selling churrasco next to the tree.

There are signs and you could ask anybody on the street. It's just about impossible to miss.

Pamela Punch from Revista Sexy is performing this week so you can expect a lot of people.

Could you please also tell this, I tried to look from web put could not find.
And is that safety environment to go around in the night time?

Opens around 7 PM.
Quite safe, but still be on alert. There are some nasty travecas close to the Teatro.

I'll be in Manaus between 22/12 and 09/01. If somebody else is there at the same time, it would be nice to hook up. Please pm me.

Cheers

Wassup LOS you still going to MAO on the 19th?

First time posting, and reading about all the great adventures, can't wait for visiting Manaus and Boa Vista January 2009.

I hope you don't have too high expectations of Boa Vista.

Nice map on this site to get to Remulous, I came off a ship at the Port and found very easily, will let u all know my experiences , ship has websense and can~t get thru to Jackson~s proxy blocker on it as websense blocks it.

Ship will be at Port of Spain, Trinidad , New Years Eve and will hit DR B4 sailing back to Pt. Everglades, so looking forward to going back to the DR as is great mongering place.

2 cybercafes on Rua Lobo Dalmada on same side of street as Remulous just down the street and see several by the hour hotel/motels as well, see another club in the afternoon with musica so may stop in as gotta couple hours to go B4 Remulous opens.

I am 55, brown hair, white t shirt that says Rio Di Janero on, 5 ft 9 , 180 lbs if someone wants to meet me, these folks @ cybercafe don~t speak English so I registered with them as Art Fartzalot no id required but computer does have sign next to Probido acessar sites pornograficos.

C ya...
