[QUOTE=WorldJockey;2853161]Depending on how they implement it might end up on a Brazil drought again.

We will see.
[QUOTE=MadMax9336;2853028]Finally booked an Airbnb near copa beach but still nervous about their guest policy though the owner says no issues but not sure if he denies entry to any chicas.
BTW. Is the travel / busy season already started? We are landing end of the September but prices seems to be pretty high for basic 2 bed /2 bath airbnb. (costed $800 CAD). We don't mind paying $1 k also provided it has no restriction on chica and daily house keeping.
Any one can suggest / PM a confirmed chica friendly Airbnb / accommodation as the free cancellation ends by 2 pm today.
Feel free to PM if any one is coming during Sept. 30th to hang out and share the intel.[/QUOTE]I've been to Rio three times and always use Airbnb 's. I'm just straight up with the owner of the Airbnb before I book and say I'm not having any parties but I'm a single guy in Rio de Janeiro and it is OK if I bring a girl back every single time I've been told no problem there's always security at their apartments iand they've never given me any issue. I've stayed in many different cities and neighborhoods and Rio never had a problem bringing a girl back.
I'm going back to Thailand in December. I really love both countries but I opted for Thailand this time because I'm going in December and they were saying originally that the new visa requirements were going to take affect October 1 . They are saying there is supposed to be an E visa so you do not have to travel to a Brazilian consulate, but since it was not up and running, I did not want to take that chance. I'm hoping later this spring they Evies I will be up and running smoothly and then I will make it back to Brazil. There is just some kind of magic to Brazil not just the woman, but the whole culture in Vibe that I just don't feel anywhere else. Incredibly jealous of those of you that live live there now.

I'll try to post this week with my experiences. Rio vets, I apologize. I doubt you'll learn anything from this Rio rookie. But maybe something I post will help a noob.
First impression was mixed. The trip is long. I left mid-day Saturday and arrived to my hotel at noon on Sunday. I knew Sunday would be a waste of a day and it was. So not unexpected but it is a journey. Flew through SP and connected to Rio. Airports, immigration, and customs was a breeze. Uber was simple. Only thing that confused me was finding the 2nd floor. LOL. You actually take 2 different escalators from baggage claim. (At least I had to.).
Uber driver took an interior route to Copa, which is not very scenic. But it was uneventful. The fare was $20 USD. Paid with card. (I did Uber Comfort). Checked into Windsor Excelsior. I booked knowing it was not girl friendly. I suspect you have about a 10% chance of sneaking a girl in. But I don't plan to try. The hotel is nice. The room is comfortable. No problems at all. Is it luxury? No. But comfortable, clean, no complaints at all. View of the beach and christ the redeemer. Awesome rooftop. If GF is not important to you, I'd recommend.
Walked the beach for just a few minutes. It was Sunday and lots of families. Kind of what I expected for a Sunday. The one surpise I had was how different things are just two blocks inland. I read this before on the forum. But it just struck me as an interesting dynamic. Beautiful beach filled with happy people, touristy area. And two blocks away, it feels like some areas of Tijuana centro. No problems and certainly didn't feel in danger. Just noteworthy.
My plan for this trip is to hit up the massagems and termas. I did book a nuru with Prisma for Sunday afternoon. Found the building without any problem. No ID needed at the door. Booked 1. 5 hours in the suite mutual nuru. Mychelle was my masajisita. I've read that Prisma does alot of photo editing on their site. I found Mychelle to be very accurate. Is her photo airbrushed? Probably. But nothing that would misrepresent her at all. The massage was good. Started relaxing and it was good. For Nounce, thanks for the correction and comparison to casas in MDE. I would agree that the setup and feel is similar. Of course, the rules vary by massage house here in Rio. Prisma is not a full service and I knew that. I think the biggest difference from an MDE casa was the actual massage. Mychelle was very good. My MDE casa massages don't compare favorably. The nuru aspect was good as well. I'd say 4 out of 5 stars. Hard to explain but it felt a little rushed. Don't get me wrong. It was 30 minutes of her body slides, grinding, etc. I just thought her pace was off. But I'd recommend. 640 reais. Not cheap but extended time, large room with private shower? There are endless ways to waste $120 in a less enjoyable manner.
Plan for today is another nuru massage and a termas. Haven't decided which termas gets my cherry. Was thinking 4 x4 but I've read some weak reviews lately. So I'll hit up 4 x4, Monte Carlo, or Centaurus later this evening. But first, the beach is calling.
I'm in Rio right now and after reading some of this thread I'm interested in checking out Eden Spa. Which building do you enter? Any good massage parlors worth visiting with hot girls?
I went to Centaurus and it was a mind blowing experience. Girl was super hot, great kisser, amazing ass, and was super into it. The noises she made, omfg.
[QUOTE=Dcrist0527;2853557]...So I'll hit up 4 x4, Monte Carlo, or Centaurus later this evening. But first, the beach is calling.[/QUOTE]You should try Solarium.
Not too bad. Most of the girls were kinda tore back IMO but I picked one that I liked. She was pretty good. Definitely worth it for the price. Can someone recommend a terma that is good that we don't have to change into robes?

Good Stuff, BTW! Look forward to more of your observations and POVs.
[QUOTE=Nounce;2853617]You should try Solarium.[/QUOTE]It is definitely on my list. I'm not certain why, but my expectations for termas in general has lowered. So I'm hoping to visit a closer termas for visit number one. 4 x4 seemed to be the gold standard but I might wait until later this week. But Solarium definitely has my interest based on OddsMaker's recent review. I'd prefer to relax a bit without 10 girls staring at you in a line waiting to pick. (I have to laugh at myself sometimes. I mean, damn, if picking a girl at a termas is the worst thing that happens today. LOL).
Was it half hour or 1. 5 hour nuru? In the top part you indicated booking 1. 5 hours but at the end you mention half an hour and felt rushed.
Thanks.

I'm going to assume they took covid into account. If so this is surprising. As you said we will see.
Personally flights to BR are long and expensive compared to say Colombia. And from what I have been reading the food is just as bad LOL. Visa fee may be the nail in the coffin for me. Ill withhold judgement tho till after my trip.

[QUOTE=Markon;2853676]Was it half hour or 1. 5 hour nuru? In the top part you indicated booking 1. 5 hours but at the end you mention half an hour and felt rushed.
Thanks.[/QUOTE]Sorry for the confusion. The session was 1. 5 hours. And I'd say it was three different phases. Phase 1 was a legit, relaxing massage. Then it moves on to nuru, body slides and then moves on to the finish. I'd say each phase was approximately 30 minutes, give or take.
And that's really why I like the setup. It's a nice combo of fun and a good massage. I'm not certain the FS places would have as good of a massage. But I'll be finding out this week. LOL.
So, I decided to give Prisma another try. And I'm glad I did. So, you guys will hate me. But I'm going to avoid naming names until I'm gone later this week because I plan on keeping this one busy. I had the same setup as yesterday. An hour and a half, mutual nuru. Suite. Same price, 640. This girl is totally my type. When she walked in the room, I knew I won. I'd rate her 8. 5. Maybe pushing 9. And her personality matched. I speak basically no Portugese but we managed. Menu was more open too. I will add: I saw several other girls while I was waiting. Two really attractive girls. The one that I found the hottest was Mariana. Her photos on the site are really nice. But I thought she was much hotter in person.
Then I decided to break my termas cherry at Monte Carlo. When I walked in, they asked if it was my first time. "Yes. " So they handed me a price list. Two odd things that I didn't expect. And in talking to another gentleman, isn't their normal practice. The pricing goes: entrance fee is 150. Girl for 40 minutes in regular room is an additional 450, for a total of 600. Girl for 60 minutes in the large room is an additional 600, for a total of 750. You couldn't mix 40 minutes in a large room, for example. That was no big deal for me. I was planning to opt for both upgrades if I found someone decent. But just be aware, it may be an all or nothing upgrade. The other odd thing was that when I met Mrs. Right Now, I expected her to take the key and arrange it. No. Instead we walked back to the front desk and they asked how I was paying. "Dinhero". "Ok, you have to pay now. " So back I go to the locker to get cash. I thought it was odd. And like I said, another gentleman said he's come here for many years and doesn't know why they do that. No big deal. Just unexpected.
Impressions of Monte Carlo. The bar area was much smaller than I expected. It was also hotter than I expected. But it was really hot outside today. The robe thing was a little awkward. It was my first time. I've never been to Germany or FKK. So it was new. I can see why some don't like it. But I didn't mind it. Drinks are reasonably priced. I think it was 35 reais for a caipirinha. About 20 for agua. I'd estimate there were 7 or 8 girls there. As soon as I walked in, you get the stares. I went and got a drink, sat down and 7 girls come over and stand in front. I thought, ok, I'll wait this out. 5 minutes go by. They are still staring. With only 3 or 4 other guys, they weren't going anywhere. Hahaha So in my mind, I'm thinking pick out the best one, but don't say anything. After about 10 minutes of awkward stares, (remember, I don't speak Porto), they start to peel away. In the end, one remained and she wasn't just staring at me awkwardly. Sure enough, she was the best looking one of the group. Eventually, she just came over, "just to talk". Name is Camila. Definitely a little skinnier than my normal type but very pretty. We made small talk. Very friendly, and patient with the language barrier. (I left my phone in the locker so no Google Translate. Rookie mistake!) But she understood spanish well enough to get by. I have to say, I really thought there was zero chance she wanted to talk. But there was zero pressure from her. I offered to buy her a drink. "No, thanks. " So a comfortable and enjoyable conversation. Not a high pressure sales job I was expecting. Then, of course, her DFK wore me down quickly and off we went. I won't bore you with the gory details. But I'll give her a recommendation if DT is your thing. The oral was good (BBBJ) but the DT was the best part.
So an enjoyable first visit to a termas. Some pros and cons. It was a little awkward with the locker room attendants. It was odd to just drop all your clothes in front of this woman, probably mid 50's. But, whatever. I'm sure she's seen it all.
Tomorrow, I'll probably hit up either quatro or Solarium. I'm told quatro has a larger selection. I'd really love to know which termas is the largest, in terms of size. Maybe they're all the same but Monte Carlo just felt small. (Bar area).
[QUOTE=MadMax9336;2853015]I have been to Medellin and going ng to Brazil next week and will get to know which one is better.
My experience in Medellin is wonderful, enough talent and easy going. Cost effective.
I have mongered with FB chicas. Once you connect few chicas in FB you will so many requests and offers. Choose selectively.
For Brazil, I am focusing on Rio mostly as I wanted to do both sightseeing and mongering.
Unfortunately I could not get connected with any FB chics yet. I have to either rely on casa or strip clubs as of now.
Hope to get some connections before the trip.[/QUOTE]In my experience FB doesn't work in Rio like it does in Medellin. Hell, Medellin is the only place where' I've honestly had it work that well and I've been doing it since 2012. FB doesn't work in Cali where it's more Tinder and casas. Bogota is cheap casas and then high end Seeking. For Rio my experience over the past two trips has been that Termas are the best option followed by in person meetings. Rio girls, and Brazilieans in general, are open to chatting and quick to hook up. My number of interactions on Tinder is small, but I had few matches and it was 50/50 whether straight up pro or non-pro that was quick to get offended. It was a bit of work.
