Sorry I cannot help with excursion tips, but I wonder: how are you identiying Grindr lads for hire? I am in highly populated areas in Brazil but cannot sort them out. Are you audaciously, skillfully reaching out and casting the net, texting your openness to both hire and non-hire species, or are they flocking to your profile? Yes, I did not find PA very interesting either. After some epic fail visits to Mezzaninu, I finally did score with a GdeP who met my type-preference. But the weather was nice and a half-day on-off tourist double-deck bus to the art gallery s/w area on river was pleasant. Good luck with your adventures!

Classy digs, for sure ... thought about a drink on the terrace if permissible, but it is complicated if you are not a guest there integral to the BRZ-side park. You were certainly not self-deprivational! Too bad about the vid ... I did capture my own double rainbow shot, though, as most visitors do.

Narratives, myths, legends, truisms do tend to have potential for thematic variations down here ... like this art deco statue angle that slants the resurrection story

Loving your thoughtful, insightful, eloquent, elegant posts, Darkseraphim. Regarding Peru: I understand visitors to Machu Picchu had a rough go of it recently due to wildcat bus strike and had to walk back a long trek to the stage of transport still operating. Can happen anywhere but resonates with your commentary. Just so you know, I am Tristan's 1st dibs Isolde.

Sorry, the video seems to have been downloaded, but I myself cannot get it to play. It is only one minute, 18 MB.

I took these Thanksgiving week. Great excursion potential with your favorite BT from SP, Rio, BA, etc. No guy would turn down the invite. Many have not had the chance. 48 hours noon to noon worked well. It is also offers a chance to try out a travel companion short-term. The area has muito mucho tourist dollars pumped in. the most manicured district of Brazil I have seen. The drive in to the ARG side parque is pretty. I recommend Hotel Pousada Guata Pora ... family-friendly, gay-friendly but I liked this time that it was low-season and no kids, just a small mixed array of couples. Great breakfast, and they rotate in evening chefs for optional hearty dinner buffet. Incredible grounds and location. Huge Chalets built like brick shithouses. A steal. Sweetheart staff.

Dios Mio Peru ...

Yeah ... thumbs up on the green-lighting of his A-rod and juicy butt!

PS: Now I do think the pics are the same guy, Tristan, of La Diosa ... Peruvian.

Very good report. pics #34 (neon yellow speedo, ballcap) and #41 (Tristan caption) have me worked up, same guy?, source? I too am keen to visit accessible cities where gogo stripper dancer boys are available in the club or private dates. CDMX has been a bust in this regard. PV was also not impressive (Wet, Anthropology) when last visited. Consider me also interested in answers to Alaskabear's Qs.

Of course I am. Why not? I mirror your behavior. The prevalence is spiking again, perhaps partly owing to PrEP. I suggest you use your rational concern to propel you to regular testing ... if you already do, good on you. Some of the complications of syph/gon/chlam relate to having them symptomatically under the radar and untreated, yet clinically identifiable at your STD clinic. Don't suck at seeking succor post-sucking.
