Found the address. It's called Sauna 29 or something at 29 R. Prof. Alfredo Gomes in Botafogo. From the google street view, it seems to be closed (with sale sign board). Too bad.

Which Rio hotels do you like?
buttercawan replied to topjohn5's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I stayed at Ibis in Botafogo and Petit Rio in Catete before. Both are quite nice. The latter has excellent breakfast if that matters to you. -

buttercawan replied to topjohn5's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I don't usually bring guys back so it'll be a non issue. However, I don't think it's mentioned anywhere that visitors are not allowed unless I missed it. I still have more than a couple of months to cancel the booking if a better one comes along. -

I just booked Hotel Atlantico Travel Copacabana for 11 nights last night for my April stay. It is near 202 as well. The booking is 100% refundable so I'll keep an eye for other better deals in the meantime. I'm tempted to stay at Cinelandia area which is near Sexy Rose 🤣 -
A bit long shot but I am trying to find the name and address of a non-GPs sauna in RJ that opens till 5/6am (or was it 24 hours). RJ is lacking late night venues compared to say SP or BH. I have been there once or twice but I can't remember the name/location. If I remember correctly the name has a number on it (maybe). Found it last time with Google but it seems to disappear now. I hope it didn't close down. It is an old 2 floors old rundown building in some sort of residential area (I saw some street trade/guys cruising outside at wee hours in the morning). Ground floor has a big sitting area, small steam and dry sauna. Upstairs has a few rooms and one of the bigger serves as a porn theatre. Young and after office hour worker crowd. Or if anyone knows a place ... cine/sauna/cruise club that opens late or 24 hours in RJ. Anyways, I'll be in Brazil for the whole month of April 2023 (SP, BH and RJ) PS: Sorry archer for hijacking your thread.

Non-garoto saunas in Brazil
buttercawan replied to endlessdream's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Usually no GPs in those non garoto saunas. Unless the 'mix' ones like 520 (Curitiba), Dragon (Fortaleza) and the 2 in Braisilia. They will tell you before you go further. Usually cabin/cubicle are free. Bring your own condoms and lubes. Like any gay sauna, pay the entrance, roam around the steam/sauna room, dark room etc. -
Non-garoto saunas in Brazil

My info is pre pandemic; so it is 2 years old. Things might be different now. -
Non-garoto saunas in Brazil
buttercawan replied to endlessdream's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I went there on a nude day as well (pre-covid) once; in the afternoon/evening. The crowd was youngish and many with hot bods though. Maybe it depends on the months etc. In Rio, probably the best one is Rio G Spa in Ipanema. However I like those that are a bit low profile in Botafogo/Flamengo/Catete area; be warned though, they are usually a bit rundown. BH, Tres Chic is good before Olimpo. After hours, "24 hours Sauna" near Olimpo. It is very crowded weekend. Sometime there is a queue to go in. People do smoke inside. Cig and sometime weed. SP has a few good ones. Chilli Pepper is probably the best. Good late evening crowd. You need ID (passport) to go in though as it is marketed as a 'hotel'. Any city in particular that you wanna know? -

I stayed at Uotel Downtown Republica before. It was alright. It was Uotel before, think the new name is Nomah. -

269 Chilli Pepper Single Hotel. Can't get more gay friendly than it 😀 -
My Portuguese is a bit rudimentary, I think you wanna say " Eu sou activo mas eu quero ser passivo pra voce"

Cellphone Service in Brazil
buttercawan replied to bucknaway's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I am still using my VIVO prepaid from 5 years ago. Top up via recharge.com once every few months when I am not in BR to keep it active. Its also my Whatsapp Business App number separate from my normal Whatsapp app (Both can be installed on the same phone). VIVO coverage is decent; never had an issue with internet in many of the cities in BR. Got mine from the official VIVO shop in one of the mall -
Decided to cancel. Airline just announced that my flight will be suspended from end of march to end of june. Oh well
-
How is the virus situation in Brazil right now? From the posts, it seems still sorta OK but might change in a week or 2. I am comtemplating whether to cancel my coming trip (6 April - 1 May). Leaning toward cancelling and it's gonna cost me. PS: Is there 7 days isolation in effect? I only saw the article in the news but cannot find anything in official channel

Coronavirus implications in saunas.
buttercawan replied to likeohmygod's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
https://g1.globo.com/bemestar/coronavirus/noticia/2020/03/13/ministerio-da-saude-divulga-orientacoes-para-estados-sobre-coronavirus.ghtml Ministry of Health recommended that any Brazilian or foreigner arriving in Brazil should stay in isolation for at least 7 days. I wonder if it is already been enforced. Looks very likely that I'll be cancelling this year's trip. -
Coronavirus implications in saunas.
buttercawan replied to likeohmygod's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
My trip from early April for a month is in now uncertain. NZ just announce all incoming passengers to self isolate for 14 days. So it might affect my flight back. This will cost me dearly as all my flights (Buenos Aires, RJ, PA, BH and SP) and hotels are booked and paid for. Most are not refundable or incur heavy loses. Travel insurance does not cover coronavirus related events. Will see how it goes in a week or so. Also from the looks of it, Brazil will be locked down in coming weeks and saunas (my main attractions) might be affected. -

I thought "morbo" means Morbidly Obese. Maybe he is a chubby chaser? -
a visit to the new Lagoa
buttercawan replied to Tomcal's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I meant private shower outside of the suites. Current Lagoa has 2 by the gym/pool. Fragata as one (semi private). -

I hope they have at least 1 private shower cubicle. -
I thought Club Rainbow has GPs ... Didn't check it out when I was in SP last month.

Saw Lohran Paixao both in Pointe 202 and 117 last week. He did the usual asking the client put on his underwear routine with a hardon in 117
