PrEP for long-term tourists in Brazil
I'm sorry but your assumption is not correct. A mere google search will reveal that for males 4 pills a week is adequate to protect during anal sex (it is not for women and vaginal intercourse). Ofc daily is better but the OP is short on PrEP pills he can make them last a little longer by reducing to 5 or even 4 pills a week without compromising the protection, in particular during days/periods of no un-protected sex.

PrEP for long-term tourists in Brazil
Change plan to on-demand/2-1-1 or 4 pills a week (e.g. Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat)

ATM's and money exchange in Colombia
🙄 hmm...I was in Colombia in July and I used BBVA ATM several times. I wasn't charged any ATM fee.

ATM's and money exchange in Colombia
BBVA ATM doesn't charge a ATM fee (like most other ATMs in Colombia). They are quite common in Colombia and found in most cities. Look for the blue BBVA logo. There is even a BBVA ATM on the second floor in the airport (to the extreme left; above the check-in areas; you have to look for it to find it). Disadvantage is the 300,000 COP max.

Report from Medellin
No, I'm talking about the small parque in downtown Medellin (in front of the Cathedral); not a park in Itaqüi (a southern suburb in Medellin). I have made more detailed comments in another thread about my experience with boys at the parque, if interested (or DM me).

Rio october 2022
How was Pointe 202 on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday? As I recall the various reports in other threads those days can be a "hit or miss". Mondays are supposed to be busy at Pointe 202 because 117 is closed. Wednesdays as well because of free cabins. Tuesdays are busy at 117 because of the free cabin promotion.

Selected comments SP/Rio …
I'm the only one a bit lost on what is actually being discussed here? Maybe it is because I'm not from the US and not familiar with many of the names/terms mentioned...then I appolgise for the ignorance.

Another trip report, this time from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Reading the posts with interest. Having been only to CDMX, admittedly a few years ago, but the price levels indicated above certainly don't make me want to go back. I wonder, why you (US readers) bother with attitude guys, hotels with joiners fees and those inflated price levels in PV when you can travel to Colombia and have it all for far less? I reckon the distance/flight time is about the same, and Cartagena or Santa Marta seem similar to PV (but obviously not with such an outspoken gay scene as in PV).

New Meio Mundo Sauna in Rio
Tuesday is the most popular day at 117 and it might be difficult to change habits of customers and garotos.

Bogotá, December 2022/January 2023
The rates I paid in July was around 50 USD/night - even cheaper if you prepay with an OTA (but obviously no IHG points then); just look up the hotel in Google map to find the OTAs with lowest rates. I don't like the exchange rates applied by the hotel when converting from USD to COB and then again by my credit card when converting COB to my my currency, hence, I found the OTA rates considerably cheaper.

Bogotá, December 2022/January 2023
Yes, both hotels allow visitors. Guests can be registered at the reception; if you don't want to bother with this just walk your quests in and nobody will bat an eye. Both are located on cra. 7 just to the north of central Chapinero (within walking distance) including Gigolo Erotic House bar. Good and safe location.

Bogotá, December 2022/January 2023
Sounds like the Mercure hotel. The nearby Holiday Inn Express has become much cheaper and is a better choice IMO.

Plane ticket to Colombia or Thailand
Call again! Obviously, LH can rebook also the MDE-BOG segment. If is def. not overbooked this far out. The issue might be that you are booked on the LH code share flight No. for MDE-BOG. LH can rebook you to an AV flight No. which should make all AV flights between MDE and BOG available for rebooking. You can inform the agent that unless also MDE-BOG is rebooked, LH is obliged to reimburse hotel, meals etc during the BOG layover.

Plane ticket to Colombia or Thailand
Fares to Asia are in general much higher now than pre-Covid. Strong demand as travel are recovering but still limited seats available. As for Colombia or other countries in S. America, the fares are also quite high. EUR 1536 for a C/J class ticket with LH is a steal! This summer fares to Colombia with LH was EUR 2.000 + for economy. In general AMS is one of the cheapest points of departure in Europe.

Visiting Istanbul next month
A 100 EUR/USD for a sex in Turkey? 🙄 No thanks. That is a lot given the weak currency; in Lira it would be a small fortune.

Bogotá - information
Did you search the various threads on Columbia/Bogota? There is plenty of info there.

question about Cali
Easyfly is also useful between Pereira and Armenia to Medellin (Olaya Herrera airport in the city) Although the distance Medellin to Pereira or Armenia is short, don't be tempted by the cheap bus fares (60 mil) vs Easyfly air fares (around 300 mil and upwards as I recall it) as the bus takes at least 7 hours (often 8+ hours) to drive between Medellin and Pereira due to road construction works which forces the bus to make several stops of 30min and more enroute (the road is restricted to one-way traffic)
-
question about Cali
Viva Air, Avianca and LATAM also have flights between Cali and Medellin, but to the large airport outside Medellin (MDE). The air fares are usually very reasonable; From 150 mil if purchased a few days in advance. After the opening of the road tunnel east of El Poblado (tunel de oriente) it has become less time consuming to travel between MDE and the city.

8 Days in Sao Paulo
Guys, there is nothing deceptive about his profile; his body is like in the pics. I have met him for real in Club 117 in Rio (read my post above). The only thing that put me off was his attitude. Rushing to finish everything quickly and eventually aborting the session (because he was waiting for a regular client to arrive at the sauna; later I saw them leaving together). However, I agree with the previous poster that he should work on his online profile.

Reporting on pre-trip hook-ups
Your experience mirrors mine. Grindr guys/scorts are 120-150 mil in Medellin and Bgta. Elsewhere (not Cartagena) it is a bit cheaper, e.g. Cali and Pereira you will find guys in Grindt provding rates of 70-80 mil. Often the rate is lower if you come to their room (easier and more convenient for the guys). If you find the published rate a bit on the high side, make a reasonable counter offer; it will most likely be accepted. I have no experience with female prostitutes in Plaza Botero but the street guys in nearby Parque Bolivar will charge 50-80 mil for a quick session (of course their asking price will be higher, but again it is negotiable) + 15-20 mil for a nearby "ocasional" hotel room; see my recent report on Parque Bolivar lads in a different Medellin thread.

question about Cali
You should. I would consider Cali as a pleasant alternative to Medellin. Less established for people working remotely and notably less tourists/foreigners in Cali with no Gringo area like El Poblado. Many things are notably cheaper too, including accommodation and local guys (you will hardly never get quoted 200 mil/hour which guys in Medellin easily command). Cali feels more authentic. An example is Siloe (pronounced Silo-ee), the equivalent of Communa 13 in Medellin (which IMO has become a commercial/ tourist trap; I was shocked when I revisited in July and left quite quickly); the local people looked at me with horror when I explained that I had been sightseeing in Siloe, and asked me if I still had my cellphone and money Certainly some eye candy in Siloe (if you are into more rough guys, hustlers/street trade etc )

Short term accommodations
The host will often give you a discount for booking several weeks to encourage booking longer stays (sometimes discount is offered already from staying 1 week a more). It is not Airbnb offering you a discount on the booking fee.
