I agree with badboy... This is something very important, especially in the last violent times in Rio. If you are extremely confident on your abilities to pick up a random model like hot guy from the road for money in your country...be very careful in Brazil. If you don't have this confidence... Just drop the idea. Hard to believe but there's a lot of people fighting to cancel the gay rights in Brazil. And hating gay people in general. I know one man (average build around 40 yrs old) who picked up a non-profit guy from grindr, offering money. He was not catfished, the hot guy came to his apartment, and while they were having oral sex, this boy "realized" that the amount of money he could have done by robbing the man was much higher than the money he was offered. So the sex stopped and the boy started to ask for money. Weapons were not involved in this story. In a country where the average boy is much more fit than the 95% of the ones in the US, and where there's a very strong diffusion of martial arts, even hands can be dangerous. The guy didn't appreciate a lot the man's refusal to give him his money and he threatened to hurt him... So the man decided to show him his wallet, but for some reason the boy did believe he was hiding much more money and valuables in his home. The beat down which followed, left him without money and nearly blind from an eye. I will not talk about the shape of his face. While grindr doesn't let you sense people as road encounters do, the kind of people who can be meet is exactly the same. That's why involving money in exchange for sex to random guys can be very dangerous. If your Portuguese is not good and you lack of confidence and sense of danger.... Stick to saunas.

@Tomasian The hotel is good. Make sure you don't get a room in the top floor because it would be extremely noisy due to the pool filters and the air conditioning. The only problem is the bad guest policy. But maybe I have just been unlucky.

Hi and welcome. Rio is always good, but that period of the year in particular is my favourite since the weather is not extremely hot. You will be staying in a hotel where the guest policy is very strict. They made a lot of problems the last and only time i've been there with a garoto. But since you're a 1st timer i would not bother to look for sex outside saunas. DO NOT GO TO A GAROTO'S PLACE. SP is worth a 2 days visit, as POA. There's not really a lot to see. As a first timer I would visit just Rio which is full of things to see. What favelas are you planning to visit? I don't want to scare you but I am asking because at this time, Rio's favelas are quite dangerous. The bracelet thing works like this: you will get it at the entrance (it will have a number which represents your account number, and your locker if available), you will use it every time you use a service (bar/rooms), you will return it when leaving and that is the moment where you'll get your bill to pay. I have never been scammed in Brazil. You can try to make a deal with the garoto for a lower rate, but without speaking portuguese it will be very hard. For you the standard rate at the beginning will be somewhere between 120 and 150. That's because the first time you'll enter the saunas none of the GPs will know you. So...tourist+non portuguese speaker=150. 70/80 is not going to happen. 100 is 95% sure if you negotiate. I am like a Uber bitch in Brazil....i use it even for 400 mt trips since it's extremely cheap. BUT i never use Uber to go from the airport to the city, especially at night. Again, i don't want to scare you but i'm just trying to be helpful. It is because of the position of the international airport. GIG airport is 30 min far from copacabana by car. In order to reach the beautiful Zona Sul, you will have to cross the shitty Zona Norte. The road runs above some of the most dangerous favelas of Rio. What happens if in the middle of the night, your Uber car breaks up (just an example) in the middle of Avenida Brasil? What will and what can your Uber driver do to bring you safely at destination at that point? This is why i prefer Taxis or Radiotaxis. If something goes wrong, i will have a very experienced and licensed driver which will just call the HQ and get me a replacement for no additional price. You will find Taxi Comum (normal taxi) and Taxi Especial booths at the arrival area. Never accepts rides from people besides the ones sitted inside those booths. If going by taxi comum (cheaper), ask for the prepaid tariff. http://media.melhoresdestinos.com.br/2016/08/IMG_0120.jpg TAXI COMUM http://media.melhoresdestinos.com.br/2016/08/IMG_0116.jpg TAXI ESPECIAL http://media.melhoresdestinos.com.br/2016/08/IMG_0101.jpg

As I said... I live in rio. I am looking away from Brazil because I wanna do a holiday outside of it.

I know walker but I wanna make a trip outside

God I didn't know this. Interesting. So I need another alternative to Dominican republic.

You mean that gay sex in Jamaica is illegal?

I work for a Brazilian company. Umh Jamaica. What about El Salvador? Venezuela is deadly dangerous now

Hello guys...i will go straight to the point, and since i am kinda horny i will also be a little graphic. I need to plan a 1 week holiday, and i wanna go somewhere in America which isn't Brazil (where i'm currently living) and Colombia (where i am going quite often for work). The place must have super hung black guys....that's the only requirement I have read something here in the forum during the last years...but i' so confused i'm not even sure what to search and how to do it.

I have been to saunas last week. I think it really depends on what you're looking for. To me 117 is always a ton of fun...and i did not notice a decrease in terms of quantity or quality during the last 3 months. Their wednesday is now sucking customers and garotos from 202, which in my opinion is beginning to suffer the "Junior's factor". As someone else said in this forum, wednesdays which used to be great at 202 are kinda getting not so great anymore. Never been to Manhattan, I have been told that the crowd is not of the kind i like (muscular hung boys). The week in my opinion is a "DON'T GO". It's full of attitude independently from how good you look. Lagoa in SP is still great...Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are always a lot of fun.

Alaska i have sent you a private message.

Does it work now with foreign phones? Onde tem tiroteio cannot be downloaded from the store if your Google's/Apple's account is from outside Brazil. They do have a very useful FB page which i used to check often before I've managed to install the app. https://www.facebook.com/OTTRJ/ Seven Cruising is a fun place, but can he hit or miss. Wednesday is usually good.

Should be Bubu Lounge

Pedro is a great guy. Anyway I have noticed a big increase in the amount of Airbnb listing, where it's clearly stated to don't bring visitors inside. Dunno how much it's enforced. Until I was staying in a hotel in Rio, I was just walking straight forward to the lift with the GP and no one has ever asked me anything.

Yeah Brazil has huge state owned pharma labs

Hi guys, as someone of you knows i don't like Sao Paulo. It's huge...way too much for me to get used to it. Normally i stay in the hotel which my company books for me, but since it's been the same one for the last 10 times (Avenida Paulista, near to Consolacao station), and since i've been given the possibility to book a hotel or an airbnb by myself, i need some help to choose a good neighborhood where to stay (possibly not far from Sauna Lagoa). Got any idea? I've been told that Vila Clementino (the bairro which hosts the sauna) by itself is not a good place. I can't find information searching in the forum.

Haha well unless you got bitten on your last day, you would already have huge symptoms. Anyway there's no case yet of YF in big cities (talking just about rj and SP) . SP did have 8 cases, but it is a huge city and all were from the North of it. (poorer, huge green areas and parks with monkeys). This is because I was told, it's quite difficult for the virus to begin its urban cycle; (luckily) until now, all the cases came from bites from the silvestres ones. SP and RJ are doing quite a lot to prevent a urban diffusion of YF, and possibly since the huge vaccination campaign (even if the coverage is still low) , they should be OK. US CDC says that vaccination is recommended for the whole RJ and SP states. WHO recommends it for the whole SP state... RJ city is safe.

I am curious to know what people think, did, will do about the yellow fever vaccine. My ID specialist suggested me to avoid the vaccination until I was staying in Rio and São Paulo City centres. (I had to get the vaccine from the day I begun to go to BH, PA and other minor Brazilian cities).

Thanks for the report. So if I understood correctly, it attracts the same crowd of NMM sauna.

This is very interesting. Did not know that the building which is hosting 202 is owned by the same owner of Atlântico Hotel. Could be the reason why is one of the lest restrictive hotels regarding "sexy guests"?

I found extremely funny when I listen to this kind of conversation about the need of dictatorships in European and NA countries coming from people who live in a fucked up place like Brazil (speaking about politics and economics), while texting and liking shit on social networks...

Just some facts about socioeconomics and reasons why guys go to saunas. Minimum wage in Brasil is around R$1000... 250 euro An iPhone X base price is R$7999....2000 euro. You can assess the reason why guys stay in saunas to fuck you, just by looking at the smartphone they have.

I agree. Need glasses Paris? Yesterday there were at least 7 white gymaholics below 25yr old. All of the past week at 117, the black guys weren't more than the 15% of the total, with the remaining part equally split between whites and mulattos. Same thing the third week of Feb, same as the last of Jan, same of the last of Nov 2017....and so on. BTW... Socioeconômicas haven't changed. There are guys who come to 117 to buy food and keep the family together. There are guys who come to buy things like iPhone X and other expensive imported products. (usually the black ones on 117 fall in the 1st cat.)

A fake CPF will not work with mobile services and be careful because it's illegal. DO NOT DO THIS. Fake CPF generators work matching personal data from a fake database. De facto are generating a new identity from scratch, but it can happen that the gererated CPF is a real one, linked to a real person who is unaware of the fact that a tourist is using is CPF to do stuff. Don't mess with this. You can ask a friend for his CPF, but the procedure above is for those who want to do a clean thing, without having to go to a TIM store (where I was told it wasn't possible to activate a Sim with a passport... Same thing with claro), and without having to spend more than 5 minutes. The whole procedure above, takes no more than 5 minutes to complete. On the worst case you just have to let your phone on the desk for 30 min, while you're doint something else. I am spending in Brazil the majority of my time now, and I still don't have a CPF. Last time I tried to get it from a banco do Brasil i have been told that I could not get it because I am not Brazilian. Hahaha...i have wasted enough time for this.

I see...Anyway 117 today is extremely packed. No free tables at the bars and 30 min queue.
