Latin America Men and Destinations

Hey guys...very busy week so far since getting back from Rio...will give an update on my trip later with everything that went on and a few changes I noticed in the sauna scene and Rio itself.... Will post later tonight.....

I have been fortunate to have traveled to lovely Buenos Aires, Argentina on about five occasions and have stayed in apartments during the majority of my stays there. One company which I have used on two or perhaps three of these occasions was "Apartments in BsAs" www.ba4uapartments.com.ar. This is a gay owned and operated company; the prices for rentals are quite, quite reasonable; the apartments themselves are modern, stylishly furnished, and located in the more tonier of barrios. I've stayed in two apartments in Recoleta and one in Palermo and have been more than satisfied with all components. Whenever I manage to return to the "land of the portenos," I'll definite…

My debit card was cloned this morning. Partially my own fault trying to do as I was trying to do a withdrawal outside of normal business hours, about 8:25AM. I had already been to Bradesco and Banco do Brasil branches where employees were waiting to start their workdays. I then went into a Santander branch downtown where I was the only customer. After I was in front of a machine, someone came in after me. Young and and dressed okay. He must have remotely disabled my machine. Refused to give me the 1000Reais I had requested. This is the second time this has happened over the years. Both times they were early morning transactions were someone younger followed me into a b…

We don't need a news report for us frequent visitors to know the obvious. See this: http://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-business/brazil-registers-highest-inflation-rate-since-1996/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRioTimes+%28The+Rio+Times%29 -

The title of this thread speaks for itself. Brazil moves its time one hour forward, tomorrow, Sunday. For those vacationing in Brazil, you will lose one hour of fun. -

- I left Rio LAST NIGHT and arrived home this morning. As I was entering my house, my phone was ringing. The call was from one of my bankers who advised me that my ATM card had been used TODAY to make a series of five maximum withdrawals from an ATM machine in a Brazilian shopping center. I was told that the five withdrawals were successfully made, all within a few minutes of each withdrawal. The bank said the withdrawals were initially honored because I have a long history with the bank and often make ATM withdrawals in Brazil. The bank said a fraud alert was created because I never previously made a series of withdrawals like was made today. The bank opened a…

I arrived 10/11 was tired as hell from the long flight but by the end of my taxi ride from the airport to the hotel I was wide awake and heart pumping. To say the driving in Rio is chaotic is an understatement. The drive to the Impanema Plaza hotel from what I could see between holding on for my life was beautiful and colorful. And man did I choose the right hotel. Seems like every hot boy in a speedo travels up and down the road in front of my hotel. Which put me in the mood for some fun quickly. I headed over to 117 around 7pm. I decided to keep my cloths on and enjoy a drink as I felt a bit shy. But I will not do that again as most of the other customers there made me …

It's in the thread on porn... ???

I know many Brazilian garotos de programma do porn too. But I suppose it's not necessarily the other way round. I really fancy this Brazilian twink who I can guess is a well known gay porn star in Brazil judging from the number of clips available online and different studios he worked for: hotboys, Meninosonline, Raw fuck club and others. You often see him on covers of Brazilian porn DVDs too. Does anybody know whether he escorts or anybody had an experience wit him? I have a broad taste in guys in general ranging from twinks to muscle and sexy older guys although twinks are my favourite. Its just that they don't seem to be available in the same quantity as muscle hunks…

I know about Latinjocks, but I was thinking more something like the Madame Cafussu blog that used to exist but that is now shut down. Where you could find interesting pics and videos of rentboys or guys in Rio and other Brazil cities. Any links to such sites would be much appreciated... Thanks!

Random pics of hot Brazilian/Latino guys....Definitely can't want to see who I meet on my upcoming trip... Enjoy the pics fellas....

How gruesome it must be to see these "coffins" on the beach in Copacabana - "nearly 4,000 violent deaths which occurred in the state of Rio de Janeiro in the first ten months of the year" - Will the make shift "coffins" displayed at the beach stop the violent killings? http://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/rio-protests-high-number-of-violent-deaths-this-year/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRioTimes+%28The+Rio+Times%29 -

If any travelers to Brazil want to try something different away from Rio, there is a nightclub/hustler bar in Sao Paulo that has become increasingly popular over the past few months. I mentioned this place last year or so in another thread. The place is called Bar Fama. It has been at its current location for several years. Recently, there has been a marked increase in garotos and their admirers. I assume, like many establishments, there are busy nights and fewer busy nights. I know that the three nights I was there recently, the place was fun and busy and exciting (except for the drag shows that I do not care for). Some of the garotos at Bar Fama are the same ga…

Hi Guys, What are the popular websites and apps in Cuba? Man Hunt? Planet Romeo? Daddy Hunt? Silver Daddies? Grindr Hornet Scruff Thanks

Yesterday Mayor (Prefeito) signed the law that prohibits Uber from operating in the city, that maintains the illegality. The fines to the driver for Uber range between R$1360 and R $2000. 99 and Easy Taxi are permitted under the law.

I am going to be in Buenos Aires in December for a week. I am looking for escorts there. I wonder that is the current rate for escorts online? or at house of boys? Any suggestions for the locations of the House of Boys? Are the taxi boys on Santa Fe still active? I am looking convenient hotel location to get as many escorts as I can in one week Thanks guys if you can help! I will share my experience in BA after my trip! Promise!

Below is cited an UNSCIENTIFIC article/report. However, the article/report is based on facts. I found the article interesting reading. Maybe others will, as well. http://news.yahoo.com/flight-brazils-expats-080000038.html -

Bardot came here fifty plus years ago for a visit, took for herself a younger Brasilian lover, stayed for a bit and put this place on the map. I can see the attraction.

I found today's (September 11) article in the New York Times intriguing in how it details the economic woes of Brazil and the political mis-steps. I had no idea the Brazilian national development bank had loaned out more money than the World Bank. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/11/world/americas/brazils-economic-crisis-intensifies-raising-pressure-on-president.html?ref=world&_r=0

There were a few readers of this forum that criticised the Rio Times as a less than reputable source of news. To appease these few, I stopped posting links from Rio Times. Despite the criticism of Rio Times from those self-identified superior news source readers, there is an article that appeared in Rio Times today that I believe should be posted for those who visit or plan to visit Rio de Janeiro. The article cites several large news sources for its content. I am citing the article for us common folk, therefore, those who previously criticized Rio Times for being substandard are politely asked to disregard this thread and the related article. The material reported in…

Hi All, Apologies for the earlier query-post; I forgot to scour exisitng posts for info; Firecat set me straight. Some follow-up questions; advance thanks for patience and guidance. (-: Club Tobi: The great rates are on top of $20 entry fee, right? (An April post mentions only $8, but the website says $20...) Their website has no English version; does that mean there're only a few tourists? How do you pick the masseur? Is sex assumed or to be bargained for explicitly? Do they speak any kind of English? Any interaction (including sampling) in open spaces, like in Brazil? Re Firecats's observation: how are the rooms? hygene? AC? Best days and hours to come? Simil…

Hi Guys, It's in Colombia, circa 5 hours drive south of Medellin. Anyone knows anything about it? Thanks

Ok, now that I hopefully have your attention... I have been in contact with Lucky, who just returned from a trip to Brazil. He (along with his husband) visited Porto Alegre, Rio, and Sao Paolo. With his permission, here is the majority of his email to me... We never once felt unsafe. The lower value of the real hurts hard-working people, so I tipped the boys, the cab drivers, the maids and the bell boys more than I usually would. Restaurants have raised prices in many cases, which just results in fewer customers, but their costs may be increasing and they have no choice. The people on the street seemed as happy as ever, although that is hardly a scientific assessm…

Thiago had a day off over this past weekend so I started to look for flights with good times and decent last-minute fares. Montevideo had nothing good. Ditto Foz do Iguacu. The fares to Salvador were higher than to BA. Aerolineas Argentinas had the best prices and times. The drive out to Ezeiza is longer than to Galeao here in Rio. But with the low price of the Argentine peso it was only about US$30.00 each way. I had read some awful trip reports about them over the years but out flight out was only 15 minutes late and the flight back only pushed back five minutes late. Beware that US and Canadian citizens need to get a visa for $160,00 before departure. It is good for …
