Thx. Would I run into trouble if I bring my poppers? Let’s say two bottles? I’ve read it here that nothing happened. Just to recheck.

Lol. It’s a pressure thing

What’s wrong with you guys? Taikonaut said very clearly the garoto agreed on 150 reais with gozar… Your comments made it sound like he was been cheap. Maybe that’s why he didn’t bother sharing the rest of his trip…

Is it easy to get good condoms (xxl, skyn) and poppers in Brazil? How much do they cost? The problems of bringing it in from Europe are: 1. It might be intercepted by the airport security. 2. It looses its strength during the flight. Thx!

I’ve seen scattered mentions of non-garoto saunas in Brazil here but seems not much in-depth discussion has been made. Any experienced fellow members care to share a bit more? Thx in advance!

Do you mean boys out of sauna? Any tricks to share? Thx

Thank you. Garotos are not a necessity but would be a good supplement if Grindr runs slow. Any idea which cities are the most Asian friendly? Thx

Lol. This forum is making me crazy. As I kept on reading those posts about Brazil, I was getting less and less patient. At a certain point yesterday, I decided to ditch Colombia and fly directly to GRU in two weeks. Aeromexico is offering insanely cheap biz flights from Europe and I’m getting tons of Flying Blue XP (lol, excuse much?!) on the other side, I’m loosing hundreds of euros canceling my existing tickets. So now I have two months in Brazil in stead of one. My plans might need to get twice ambitious, too. Any suggestions besides SP and Rio? Im looking at Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Recife and Fortaleza. It would be nice to have a comparative chart (Again, I’m asking for the impossible).

Funny. I found a flight from Lisbon to Belem too. I think Numazu has been there.

I actually contacted both hotels and they are fine with me bringing guys up as long as they are registered. One even proposed the overnight joiner fee with breakfast.

I had exactly the same problem a couples years back in the saunas and frankly still a bit today. I’d love to share you contacts in Havana but very hesitantly. The problem is, in Cuba, very fews guys are real escorts, or at least identify them so, as a result, it might be inappropriate for you to approach them directly that way. Actually you just need very few contacts there and they can probably arrange everything for you. Everyone knows everyone and everyone is everything there. Lol

Grindr is not functioning anymore, due to embargo rules. Romeo should be working. About escort, locals are all open to it, but very few are really doing it as a profession. Very often they don’t have fixed rate either. It all depends on the dynamic.

You can definitely go the etesca to buy a SIM card. I think I paid 30 usd plus charging. It was activated a couple of hours later, with only 3G. It was slow but sufficient for Grindr. Emails with attachment can be sent after milling a bit. Facebook about the same.

In more and more hotels, you would have access point but you need to use the scratch card. You can rent a 3G/4G SIM card, which costs about 10 usd per day before pandemic. If you are staying in a casa, you can talk to the owner to see if he or she can lent you a SIM card so you can charge and use the 3G/4G. During my last trip before the pandemic, they were rolling out 4G but only invite frequent 3G users to try it.

I do see very cheap redemption tickets from NYC to HAV on AA.

If I understood well, these rules are only for ‘American Person’ right? For a foreigner who has no income in the US, am I concerned?

Do you think I should let a favelado spend the night with me? I didn’t book for two also, partly, to force myself to be vigilant.

I actually didn’t enjoy Med that much. I found the city dirty and chaotic.

I chose Cali for that. To me, that’s where the hung Colombians are. I do have higher expectations on the Brazilians, especially on the Cariocas.

In Rio, I did get a 10 nights rate with Accor. In SP, my status gets me second guest for free anyway. If I understood well, SP guys are more next door type who might want to spend the night, right? Rio is more fuck & go?

I’m not sure I’ll frequent a lot the saunas. Of course I’ll do a tour or two, but mostly I might just Grindr surf. Do you guys think I should book the hotel rooms for two? On one hand, I feel kinda stupid to book a room for two when I have no one in view. On the other hand, I do enjoy overnight sex. I don’t know how willing guys are to spend the night with me. For the moment I have Novotel in Rio Copacabana and Intercontinental in SP.

Cali: 18-28 Juin Bogota: 28 Juin -03 July Rio: 04-24 July SP: 24 July - 10 August My JFK-CLO and BOG-GIG flights are both with Avianca in economy L. For some reason, business is not on sale and with L fare I can choose biz seats. They are narrow bodies so I don’t expect too much. Let’s wait and see if I get bumped back to Y seats. 20 days in Rio and 17 in SP seem pretty long. But it’s my first time, so I want to pace myself gently. Maybe I’ll add a stopover in between. Any suggestions? Better avoid long flights within Brazil. Bus trip preferred. Thx.

I’ll be in Rio from 4th to the 24th July too.

A friend who just arrived in Havana told me that things are actually better now. In terms of food shortage and prices, it’s more or less back to pre-pandemic and pre-currency-fusion time. No test nor check at the airport. No quarantine upon arrival. The black exchange rate goes by 100 CUP per USD. He doesn’t cruise so no info on boys.

I know it’s not in republica but I think someone mentioned Intercontinental. Anyone knows about their visitor policies?
