Manaus

[QUOTE=Sperto;2777774]* Prives: A good option in Centro is Edifcio Antnio Simes (Av Sete de Setembro 1251). There are only three puteiros left, sala 101,405 and 1104. The best one is sala 405.100 reais /30 min or 120 reais /1 hour. Six girls work there. Four of the girls are slim, petite girls in the range 18-24 years. The fifth one is a slim taller girl, and the sixth one is a heavy girl with a huge horseass. I recommend two of the girls. Mirella, morena, clara, 22 years, beautiful, nice medium sized tits and a small round ponyass. Amanda is 24 years old girl with lots of indian blood, small firm tits and great round little butt (note: she's short, only 140 cm, but with lots of curves). The girls at 405 gives excellent service and have no problem with BBBJCIM. For those who wants anal have to pay 30 reais extra. The rooms are simple but clean, shower before and after session.[/QUOTE]I was soooo turned on in the hopes of finding that Amanda at sala 405 today but sadly she wasn't there (and I didn't ask). Instead I had a certain Elisa who was my type and we hit it off fine, even a wistful look from her as I was already out the door.

I doubt that 405 is the best sala, I think one must sample them all. I was surprised to find them all greeting me immediately, no formal presentation and no threat of having to pay 20 if you don't pick any (as it is the case in some other places).

I got what I came for and so I am happy. But I will say that if you are on a short time table in Brazil for mongering, focus on RJ and SP, perhaps only on SP to waste less time. I don't think Manaus is worth it. I walked past Remulus last night and the dumb thing is you can't peek inside to get the sense of the action. This is much better in Thai gogo bars where you can see immediately if you want to stay, and they don't charge entrance fee. Remulus has a 20 reais entrance fee, which is not the world, but since you don't even get a preview and I wasn't hell-bent I didn't do it.

I am here for other than p4 p purpose, so I am happy. But I don't think it's worth it just for the p4 p action. Me being the PhotoAccompanhante dude, I can't even find ONE indiazinha on the offerings. That is why I wanted this Amanda from sala 405 so much. Got to search more.

Anyone here these days by the way?

[QUOTE=StinkySquid;2858313]But I will say that if you are on a short time table in Brazil for mongering, focus on RJ and SP, perhaps only on SP to waste less time.[/QUOTE]Yes, if you are on a 1-2 weeks purely monger trip you should stick to Rio or Sao Paulo. If you look for regular girls Manaus is the place to be. I know a bunch of guys who have travelled all over Brazil for thirty years and nowadays they only stay in Manaus.

A small story about indiazinhas. The women with indian blood who lives in Manaus ain't impressive at all. The tribeswomen are different. In 2016 I went with a lancha from Marina do David to a small village on a side-river. One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in Brazil. From the village I followed a river through jungle and a swamp. I arrived in an indian settlement. The indians were super hospitable, kind and happy for my visit. I got the opportunity to try toasted crispy giant ants and huge white larvas. Anyway the women and girls in this tribe were just stunning. Absolutely beautiful and I would happily married a few of them. Most of them were topless (some with really large boobies) and were just wearing a short skirt. I behaved well even two of the women were very flirty and inviting. I had a fantastic time together with the tribe and took great photos.

This year I thought I would return to the tribe. Again I took a ride with a lancha to the small scenic village. From there I started my treck to the indian settlement. When I was on my way I encountered several warning signs telling it was dangerous to continue. There were no signs when I went there 2016. I continued and came close to the settlement. The indians live in huts both down at the river and up on the cliffs (depending on the level of the river). I noticed a bunch of indians up on the cliffs. Suddenly I saw a white blond guy who chased away the indians. That was odd. When I arrived at the settlement everybody was hidden except a guy coming up to me. The guy wasn't indian. He was very angry and hostile and wanted to know how I managed to find the settlement and why I went there. I spoke with him calmly explaining the situation. He didn't care and started to make threats if I didn't leave immediately. I got pissed off and told him I would leave. When he walked away I took some photos of the huts and the settlement and left.

When I came back to the scenic village I spoke with some villagers. They told me I was lucky to come back alive. They explained that the problems were not the indians being unfriendly. The problem is a german guy and a few guys from Manaus who now live in the indian settlement. They exploits the indians. They allows no visits to the settlement, not even the locals from the village. They only allows visit when they find a group of tourists willingly to pay an absurd amount of money to visit an unspoilt tribe. According to the villagers the german guy keeps most of the money to himself.

If you really have the urge to see some kind of an indian tribe there are daytours from Manaus. It's extremely touristic and boring. The tourists get to see some indians dancing, get painted in their faces and hold some animals.

[QUOTE=StinkySquid;2858711]Dammit! I want to do something about that. Sheesh![/QUOTE]But that's the problem with indigenous people, always has been, and why Jesuits created the reducciones. They are so limited in intelligence and so docile, they let anyone walk all over them. Whether this fucking German guy or some leftist NGO, let alone the government goons themselves, they are all exploiting these people.

Your report is extremely eye opening and repulsed me from engaging in any paid tourist attraction excursion to indio villages, because they are all like that. Gives a whole new perspective on the extremely expensive Roraima Angel Falls excursion, I bet that's deep down just another such exploitation racket.

I won't do such trips out of Manaus, instead I will stay in much smaller towns and see what comes up organically from there.

As much as I'm tempted at getting myself a real native Índiazinha as a wife, I do prefer them with European and African admixture, so I see what I find in the small towns.

[QUOTE=StinkySquid;2858730]...
Your report is extremely eye opening and repulsed me from engaging in any paid tourist attraction excursion to indio villages, because they are all like that.....[/QUOTE]The day tour is more than that. I lived in a natural setting. I could see different animals everyday but not clearly. I saw dolphin as well because I kayaked many times that I lost count. The dolphin I saw was like a blip every time I saw them, probably was hiding from my presence. I went on the tour only after I had been there for a while. The tour will take you to encontro das aguas, see dolphins, alligators and others in natural setting.

[QUOTE=Nounce;2858740]The day tour is more than that.[/QUOTE]Yes a day tour includes more. The standard for a one day tour is a visit to an Indian village, encontro das aguas, interact with botos (sweet water dolphins), jungle walk, look at a Vitória Régia and having lunch at a floating restaurant. The jungle walk is a joke as you walk a short distance on a trail together with a bunch of noisy tourists. Everybody takes photos of the same Vitória Régia. The interaction with the botos is cruel as everybody touch them in a way that's not proper. Regarding the Indian village. There are non-stop of boatloads of tourists going there. When every group arrives the Indians make the same dance, tell some stories, paint the tourists faces and let them take photos together with sloths and snakes. I hate to do such ridiculous tours together with large groups of noisy tourists. There are lots of people selling tickets to these one day tours. They charge about 200-300 reais, but if you go directly to the lanchas in the harbour you can negotiate the price down to 80 reais.

If somebody wants to have real experiences of the jungle, swim with dolphins or go on a survival tour there are options for that, but that's not the purpose to discuss on a monger forum.

[QUOTE=StinkySquid;2858730]Your report is extremely eye opening and repulsed me from engaging in any paid tourist attraction excursion to indio villages, because they are all like that.[/QUOTE]Just to clarify a difference. The indian villages you visit when doing one day tours, everybody knows that these villages are tourist attractions with vendors selling souvenirs and soft drinks. Even though I puke over this tours, in one way it gives an income to these indians. Posing with a cobra or sloth cost 10 reais. Each day there arrives lots of boats with about 50 tourists each.

The excursion that the german guy occasionally organize is different. He offers a visit to a tribe that is unspoilt. That's why he and his colleagues can charge absurd money. A problem is that the indians receive almost none of the money. BTW I remember the guy who tried to threaten me told me I would have to pay 150 reais for just one photo of the main hut. I did take several photos but I didn't pay.

If you want to visit an indian tribe deep in the jungle it will be almost impossible. You won't get a permission from IBAMA, because of the risk of spreading diseases. If you have contacts there are guides that can bring you on a 1-2 weeks survival trip in the jungle. Just you and your guide in a canoe. You'll bring no food and eat what you fish or hunt. These guides offers to take you to tribes where you're not really allowed to go.

[QUOTE=Sperto;2858768]... but that's not the purpose to discuss on a monger forum.[/QUOTE]Sperto, this is not fair. You said this then proceed to add another post.

Because of that, I will add more info to help others out.

[QUOTE=Sperto;2858768]... They charge about 200-300 reais, but if you go directly to the lanchas in the harbour you can negotiate the price down to 80 reais....[/QUOTE]For those who are interested in getting the lower price. You can google Mercado Municipal Adolpho Lisboa and there is a counter inside where you can get a tour for about are $150. But if you go to the back outside of the building, there is a row of tour agencies. This is where you can get the lower price. The touts on the pier are mostly based on here. I just took their numbers and texted one of them the day before I decided to go to make reservation, and pay in the morning.

The picture taking and swimming are extra which I did not participate. The tour guide was very nice to me. He had someone to call the dolphins back for me to see it.

It is true that Manaus (and very likely many other locations in the north and north-east of Brazil) are great for non-pro dating. I am not the youngest kid on the block and had two dates in a row with 23 year olds who were quite nice looking. Perhaps a little bit on the "soft" side but great. I had a third one that slipped from my fingers because I didn't seal the deal fast enough. Tinder girls are some fickle bunch -- you can be quickly replaced by someone else there if you don't nail a match down soon.

I have lived in Rio de Janeiro for quite a few years, and know first hand it is a fucking dangerous city. But I have to say I feel worse in downtown Manaus than in downtown Rio. It is very weird. The Hotel Taj Mahal is probably the only reasonably priced one with reasonable amenities in the Theater part of downtown. That part around the Theater is indeed quite reasonably safe, and there are many restaurants and bars and icecream joints and you can walk to your Remulus and other boates without a problem. But as soon as you move out of this tiny nucleus, especially north of it, the place is an urban wasteland and I feel extremely unsafe there, especially on Sundays and holidays. Similar the way south to the harbor tends to be rather empty during Sunday and holidays and nights, and I would avoid walking this easy walking distance. In the Oyo Hotel Ana Cassia, you might have a nice view on the river and harbor, but the surrounding is something I don't even want to step out into at night. Also, that hotel is very used up and the swimming pool is horribly dirty, and somone has had the great sense to leave a make-shift extension cord on the steps near the pool. What if some moron would throw it into the pool while I am in it? Not a good place.

Also, all the PhotoAccompanhantes are spread out over the city and are not anywhere near the center. From the distance here, I see some newer high-rise area, which may be more modern and who knows, safer. I don't know. And I won't stay here much longer to find out.

[QUOTE=StinkySquid;2860583]... I feel extremely unsafe...[/QUOTE]Hotel Ana Cassia is a really shitty hotel. Don't even tink about entering the pool. However the view from the roof terrace is very nice.

Around the corner, from Ana Cassia, is O Jangadeiro Restaurante e Bar. A fun place to have a beer and listen to live music. They have nice food. Their pirarucu frito is delicious. In Mercado de Peixe you'll find plenty of small restaurants serving fresh food.

In Manaus centro will be deserted after 7 PM. Around Teatro Amazonas there are several nice bars and lots of people. The forró clubs are all spread out over the city. You know where Remulos is located. There is a small red light district behind the bus terminal (in front of the cathedral). Sleazy clubs, ugly women but entertaining.

Manaus is a violent city with lots of people being murdered, but most of this happens in the outskirts of the city. Regarding safety in centro. It looks weird with the empty streets, only the vigilantes out watching the vendor stalls and hords of big rats crossing the streets. I have stayed many months in Manaus centro and I never had a safety issue. Try to use the big avenidas like Getúlio Vargas and Eduardo Ribeiro. If you walk on the darker side streets, don't walk on the sidewalk instead walk out on the street and be on your alert.

Where is the best area to stay at in Manaus? The beach is out in Ponta Negra. The nightlife is on Avendia Turismo and spread out in the outskirts of the city. I think the best option is close to Teatro Amazonas or closer to the port. I usually rent an apartment not far from Hotel Ana Cassia. In centro there are plenty of stuff to keep me busy at daytime, lots of restaurants and it's convenient to stay in centro when dating regular girls.

[QUOTE=StinkySquid;2860033]It is true that Manaus (and very likely many other locations in the north and north-east of Brazil) are great for non-pro dating. ....[/QUOTE]Something excites me today so I want to write this. LOL. Manaus is like my training ground. I just walked up to the girl and asked for her number. It's not that I have game or anything. It's the outcome that gives me positive encouragement to do it.

I was attracted by a girl showed up at another check-in counter at an airport recently. It's the typical Brazilian tallish slender body and the girl had style. I tried not to exaggerate but it was enough for me to muster up courage to go out of the lounge to look for her in the boarding area. Fortunately, I found her as it is a small airport. I asked if she was going to Sao Paulo. She said yes. I asked her number as I will be in Sao Paulo eventually. We started to chat a little. She uses a lot of text reductions like ta, entt and sometimes her sentence can read two ways. Sao Paulo is her stop over so she is not in Sao Paulo now. It's hard for me to gauge her so I left her alone after a short chat.

Out of nowhere, she messaged me today and we chatted. She told me she was single and very proud to be independent. I was not sure what to make of it partly because her writing style but it ended with her sending me a disappearing picture. LOL. It seems that she pulled me back when I was ready to give up.

Security. The port area feels unsafe because it is deserted at night. I walked to the theater frequently via the route that Sperto wrote in his post. There is activity by the port at night probably before 9 PM. A few bbq street food vendors there. I like the area but it is just too run down, outdated and moldy. I stayed at several high-rise buildings near the river. They were better but felt isolated and had to take Uber everywhere. I paid are $40 Uber to buy a are $20 watermelon from the wholesale market by the port. LOL.

Some background: I'll be visiting Fortaleza, Fernando de Noronha, Belém, Macapá, and finishing in Manaus. The trip is October next year, and I am already learning Portuguese with the hope that I will be conversational in that language by then (I already speak Spanish). I've been doing my RTFF and taking notes--I appreciate the knowledge in this forum--and these questions came up:

1. I will be 65 when I travel, but I am fit, normal weight, have a full head of gray hair, and blue eyes. Will I have a chance for non-pro action, given all that?

2. What are the best forums for meeting women before I go: Facebook, Tinder, BrazilCupid, other? I was thinking I could find some that are interested in language exchange.

3. My flight leaves at 0345 (that's 3:45 AM) on Monday for Miami, via Bogotá. Is there baggage storage at the airport? I thought I could stow my bags and hit a forró or two before I get on the plane since Avenida do Torismo is on the northern border of the airport.

4. Speaking of forró, can someone with a dance background in bachata and salsa dance it? I've looked at a few YouTube videos and it looks possible, but there are no forró instructors in Florida that I can find.

5. Someone mentioned Skina dos Sucos, across from the building with the privées, as having Venezuelan employees. I assume these are non-pros?

Thanks in advance. I will return the favor, once my trip is complete.

[QUOTE=Creideiki;2874424]Thanks in advance. I will return the favor, once my trip is complete.[/QUOTE]Looking at you posting history you always have questions and never reports back.

Flew into Manaus about 4 am Monday morning, customs was a breeze albeit a little slow with only 2 agents working. Got a 99 (didi's Brazilian rideshare app) to my Airbnb down by the port area in centro. It's a rougher area at night (more on that later) but I'm a bigger guy so it takes more than a few homeless drug addicts to frighten me off. Got in my Airbnb and caught a few hours of sleep before the markets outside started setting up and the noise outside became too much to sleep through.

Had a list of stuff to buy / do for the Brazil trip so went about running down the list. Chief among them was finding a cambio with a decent exchange rate and getting a Brazilian sim for my street phone. Most of the cambios I contacted were quoting me 4. 45-4. 65 to buy USD, but one spot stood out among the rest: Jiboia Turismo. They bought USD at 4. 8 when the official rate was 4. 88, so I was more than happy with that, they're in a medium sized building on the 2nd floor.

As for getting a registered sim card that was trickier since of course everyone wants a CPF number now. Claro / Vivo stores shot me down, as well as about 10 smaller stores / street vendors. Finally found a claro worker with a tray of sim cards advertising outside of a grocery store. For 25 BRL she'd get you the 30 day /9 gb plan and register it on her phone, no CPF required. So far its working great.

In the afternoon / evening I checked out the amazon theatre and some of the spots reported on before. Av. Sete de Setembro, 1251 seems to be down to just 1 apartment (#405). I rang 101 (no answer) and asked the concierge outside if there were any other apartments with ladies and he said just 405. Wasn't very impressed with the talent Monday (4 women) or Wednesday (3 women) so I was just in and out. Quoted me 150 BR for a hour, and I think they said 100 for 30 minutes.

I couldn't find the bars / ladies behind the bus station, there's a giant new looking field + military school there which maybe replaced them? That or I was just looking in the wrong spot. Will try again tomorrow perhaps. Amazon theatre was impressive but its closed inside this week for maintenance so could only tour the outside. There was a free show Monday night that was pretty cool lots of locals dressed in red dancing and cheering.

I checked out the Rua, Romulus was closed Monday night and the clubs around it were pretty dead. Only saw a handful of street workers, 1 of which I found attractive enough to go with. 150 for a hour + I think 10 for her hotel and 3 for the condom. Romulus was back open Tuesday / Wednesday, costs 20 to get inside and there were 12-15 ladies by my loose count. 2 I really liked, 3 or 4 maybes, and the rest were too big / old for my tastes. Quoted me 250 BR for a hour.

Went to Chopperia Mistura Fina Tuesday night, maybe 15 guys inside drinking and 3 or 4 ladies. Nothing too impressive. Most memorable thing was when I left there and was walking back to my airbnb saw a guy getting dragged from the street by a few other rough looking dudes. They took him behind a building and didn't see / hear much after that. Definitely was a little frightening, the mood on the street took a dramatic shift. The festive energy was gone, could cut the tension with a knife. I got there too late to really know why it all went down and didn't stick around to find out. So be careful out there at night, just pay the couple bucks for the taxi / uber is my new moto.

That's about it, went to a few bars closer to the college but I don't enjoy Brazilian country music so it got old fast. Amazon Theatre area is kinda fun but unless there's a bigger band playing outside of it got kinda bored with that already. I'm busy in the day time doing amazon river trips but will hit Romulus / Rua again Fri. Or Saturday night and report if its any better. Maybe I'll ask a taxi driver or 2 for recommendations on any prives / day casas.

It's hot and humid in the day time, sweating through alot of shirts and am glad I got an airbnb with a washing machine. The restaurant options are limited in the port area but I've found some good lunch spots.

Restaurant Muralha is on the 2nd flood run by a Chinese / Indonesian family pay per kilo type place, good salads and meat options.

Coreto Peixaria local fish restaurant on the west end of that giant food market right by the river.

Coreto dos Manaos is next to peixaria, a little less glamorous but found the food to be just as good and a few bucks cheaper. Smaller menu.

For dinner I've been eating near the amazon theatre but I find most of the restaurants to be just average, and you pay a premium for eating near the theatre. But often that's the only area open. One snack bar on the east side of the port area that really impressed me is Lukituts Delicias Regionais. Best Tacaca I've had by far, and the meat pastries / desserts are great too.

Anyways I'll report back one more time before my flight out Sunday.

If anyone wants to meet up for a drink or give me some pointers on where to go can PM me.
