How did it go? But you do know most of the videos are AI generated/modified right?

How did it go?

Why would you consider Tabatinga a good gay destination?

Great report! Any chance you could share their contacts via private message? With their consent of course. Thank you!

Thx. I’ll check with Manny. Any other options besides him?

Thx for the suggestion. As I’m arriving on the new year day, I’m not sure if it’s feasible to take a uber to the bus station then a bus to sd. I’m not sure it’s a good idea to spend a night first in or near pc. Some international hotels I checked require a minimus stay of 3 or 5 nights, some are utterly expensive. Any suggestions on what I can do upon arrival? Thx

From Punta Cana to Santo Domingo? Shouldn’t it be a bus? I read in taxi it’s about 150 euros.

I booked a ticket to Punta Cana on new year day 2026. After some research, I’m having some second thoughts. 1. It doesn’t seem to be a fun place for solo traveler 2. International hotels are absurdly expensive 3. Local transport seems to be underdeveloped Is there an easy way to get to Santo Domingo directly? Or a reasonable overnight option near the hotel? Many thanks !

The Samna is a good compromise, well maintained and efficiently run.

It’s nothing very gay but I’d highly recommend it. I visited the Iguazu falls yesterday for the first time. After the classic bus+walking tour, which was great, I opted for the helicopter ride, over the highly recommended Macuco safari. I just don't like the idea of getting wet in a small boat with a bunch of unknown people. I stayed at the Sanma Resort, located 5 minutes walking to the Iguazu falls visitors centre, right next door to the birds park. The helicopter centre is outside the Iguazu falls park, opposite the birds park entrance. It has a coffee shop and a gift shop attached to it. They require minimum 4 and maximum 6 passengers per chopper. It costs 635 reais per person, about 50% more than the Macuco Safari. I’d pick the chopper over the boat any time. You can have a descent coffee while waiting for the checkin. Don’t take the cappuccino. They put a horrible sweetened chocolate flavored powder in it. Neither at the purchase nor at the checkin was the passport required but they did ask for its number and my weight. After the checkin, you need to watch a security video for about 3 minutes. Then you are invited to a waiting salon on the airfield side. All bags need to be stored there. The tour lasts about 10 minutes. Only one chopper was in operation. It’s actually fun to watch it taking off and landing from such a close distance. The operator has a crew to record the whole boarding process and combine it with a pre-recorded in-air scenery video. The compilation is about one minute and costs 500 reais for a digital version, or 700 reais on a usb key. You can also get a hard copy of your photo taken in front of the chopper after landing. I feel it’s absurdly expensive, comparing to the ride. I had the luck to sit right next to the pilot. The view was superb in the cockpit. It did two full rounds over the falls to made sure that everyone had the full view. The whole ride was smooth and stable.

I didn’t have problem at Hilton nor Marriott.

Oh. That’s what it is. I thought it was gay men with breast cancer…

I’m from a place where everyone tries to deal with his own situation and save the kind of public resource to the people absolutely in need. Even with the best intention, this shows how dysfunctional this country is.

Maybe those middle aged guys all have breast cancer. Lol
