ihpguy, thank you for that suggestion.  I'm especially interested in checking out Lencois Marenhenses. you can see it from space!  Outside of the 4 cities mostly mentioned on these pages (Rio, SP, PA and Salvador) there aren't too many mentions of saunas in other cities.  From your understanding, are there generally a rentboy sauna or two in the larger cities such as belo and curitiba?  I'm having a hard time finding even Brazilian gay guides that mention these secondary cities.   Either way, I am very excited to check out the country.  I think I'll spend a couple of months wandering about.
