sorry, do you mean the wait time is too long for free cabin nights? It was not super long in Jan, the week I was there

what, BiLatinMen performers are based on Colombia? I thought most of them are from Mexico, lol

great report, enjoyed reading it

I have made my Brazil trip encouraged by all the great posts. Wondering can anyone share the latest info on Mexico? Is it possible to meet men like actors in BiLatinMen in Mexico city? As far as I know, there is no sauna like 117, Lagoa etc in Mexico, so maybe it is hard to meet offline?

it is called wholesale service fee, around 10% of the money you withdraw. Bank will not reimburse this type of fees

Be careful not to use Bradeso bank nor Banco 24hours, they have a shocking high service fee as much as 13% I normally use Santander or Itau bank ATM in brazil, the conversion rate is pretty great and 20 Reals service fee

I went to brazil Feb 2021, and after almost a year, I took another trip in Jan 2022. Things are pretty different this time. (1) most stores/restaurants/malls are opened with no restrictions, while it is like half of them are closed last time (2) sauna is a lot more packed, it is pretty busy almost every night, both in Sao Paulo and Rio. I met a few new faces I like. In the same time, all the regular ones I saw in 2020, still work in the sauna. The average turn over rate for some boys must be > 3 years I think (3) I also went to Salvaor, but did not really enjoy it that much. Salvador feels like a forgotten city, with many abandoned residential buildings near tourist zone and other places. And the beach is pretty small (the one with a lighthouse). The sauna boys are also a lot less, none of them are particularly hot. This is only my personal impression of the city after 3 days there (4) Inflation is really high in Brazil. The mid-end restaurants I go to, 2 people meals, can easier go > 200R. Same for grocery store, > 100R with only a few items. I have no idea how normal Brazilian can handle this type of price. (5) Sauna fees did not change though, same as 2020 (6) do not count on doing your Covid test at local drug stores, all slots are booked up a week in advance. I did mine in Sao Paulo GRU airport.

Going rate is 150 Reals for Sao Paulo and Rio

what kind of proof for vaccination? Is the card from CDC enough?

Will all the working guys travel to Rio, making the house empty? Thinking about booking a trip during holiday season Thanks for any insights in advance

It has been a long time since Numazu last shared his trip

as long as you stick to tourist zone, you will be fine I made my first trio to brazil last year, it feel better/safer compared to news reports

You are lucky then I remember I met at least 2 garotos at 117 who cannot get erection, the excuse is that they just cum for anther client I have not met such Garoto in Lagoa though

This probably is the root cause Foreign tourist only counts a small portion. Rich locals are the main client base and they are not doing very good due to economy

I imagine there are bars for women to hire men too

Is it really because of the Apps? It is hard to hire in the Apps because the photos can be fake, or taken many years ago

Thanks for the info I do not speak any Español, I will focus on Brazil sauna then. As a foreigner, I do not have to pay a lot more than locals in brazil

https://gigolosbogota.com/ are they just gogo boy or ready for hire?

have not seen any report on Brazil for ages

The initial program we had agreed was R$350. It was already R$5,000? I did not follow how R350 turned into 5000?

come on, @Tomcal, you have various insiders resources, just ask

Pretty easy I did mine in Feb at Sao Paulo International airport, took only 4 hours to get report

nice body, enjoy your trip

Curious about your observations over the past 20 years regarding sauna boys? Better in quantity/quality or decline or similar?

Bangkok will suit you well, tons of bars with boys to choose from tons of twinks as well just a bit pricy compared to brazil though
