  1. I found all the information I needed about this year's São Paulo Pride on this gay Brazilian YouTuber's channel. He has also made vlogs about cruising and gay life in different countries. Despite being Brazilian, he doesn’t mention or even suggest any information about GP not a big deal. I'll check the GPs myself,. Here’s the link: By the way, I’ll be in São Paulo next week. I can't wait to find out if GPs from other cities came to São Paulo for Pride! I’ll keep you posted.
  2. Yes, I remember. I always use Uber to get around, so I don’t wander off. In any of those places at night or day. In that one I’m with you, there’s nothing for me to do on the premises. As I did, when I went to Upgrade and Dedalos, which, by the way, is in a pretty sketchy area. I won’t ever stop being amazed at how Brazil has so many sex clubs and how comfortable they are with sex. I was watching some videos of previous events, and it is incredible how they enjoy the sex and nudity with no problems. Almost all the places having a party during Pride have live sex shows in front of everyone. So it will be an interesting experience to say the least.
  3. Absolutely, it makes total sense to be cautious about hanging out with GPs or trying to hook up with straight guys outside a sauna after midnight. There are a few things to keep in mind. Those places for cruising are for gay men, and while they may not be outright dangerous, they can sometimes—often—be rude and unpleasant. I’m not too worried about safety, at least not in the physical sense. My bigger concern is that I might get too tired or even decide to leave because I’m exhausted. I’ve been to most of the gay cruising spots in São Paulo and Rio, and honestly, the experience was far less traumatic than anything I’ve encountered in the United States or other countries. *cough* Boy Bar in Barcelona—absolutely dreadful. So, if I can make it through Chill Hotel, which is like a Babel tower filled with sex and techno music, I’m sure I can handle anything else. I’m not sure if you’ve had the chance to visit, but I can tell you it’s not really a hotel in the traditional sense. I think they call it a hotel because it’s similar to our saunas here in the U.S., where you can rent a room with a bed. Other than that, it’s pretty wild, with sex everywhere and lots of jacuzzis. I’ll report back. Anyway, the São Paulo Pride parade on Avenida Paulista looks huge—it’s even bigger than the one here in NYC, and that one’s during the day! I’ll definitely be more careful there. I’m going with my usual group of friends that I’m used to going out with
  4. yes, I was able to buy my tickets using the app from the Apple App Store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shotgun-live-music-experience/id760028892 but $32 bucks is a bargain the $100 reis doesn’t have all the VIp And this is the R$200
  5. Hello. I'm ready fo SP Pride and hope to bring him to my room! It's going to be a packed event, especially for the big club. I usually stay away from these big Pride parties, but I'm making an exception for Brazil this time. I'll give it a try and keep my expectations low. I hope it will be a lot of fun, and I'll be sure to send some free drinks here and there. And let my wallet be my biggest muscle. 😛The worst that can happen is a lot of no's, but there will be plenty of GP to get me going. and a lot of red bulls. better now that I still have some energy in me. This one, Project Kevin, sounds interesting and more cruisingish. https://www.gaytravel4u.com/event/projecto-kevin-sao-paulo/ But I am still looking for a big porn/interactive party. I think someone posted one of those parties, but I can't find it. So I will keep looking for those types and share it. As always, I will be sure to share and post some pictures, but depending on if I have a lot of material, I will create a new thread for SP so it can help future visitors. or just keep using this one, no meaning to be hijacking the thread from OP. I found a party called "Fck Party - Pride Edition" on Saturday the 21st that was supposed to be more about sex than dancing. Tickets started at just 100 reais, which is great! There were cheaper options, but unfortunately, they're sold out. I'm getting the VIP ticket, which gives me immediate entry to the party without waiting in line, and some type of bus that I will see . I'm waiting to bring one of my GPs with me so I have support. I think I know one or two of them who have been to parties for the past two years, and they are cool. The VIP ticket is only R$200, which is really reasonable! I'm not in a position to wait in line. There's supposed to be a bus that will take you around. Honestly, it's a bit intimidating for someone my age. I'm shy, and I'm not in the best shape to walk. I will definitely be cautious when getting on it and when getting drinks. Usually, I get unopened bottled water or Red Bull. https://shotgun.live/pt-br/festivals/fck-party-pride-edition and of course Lagoa every time i can.... P.S. Oh, buying the ticket was a bit more problematic. I'm now using a VPN with an SP address. Hopefully, I can bypass the CPF. If not, I may need to trust one of my guys to buy it for me. I bought the tickets using the app on my iPhone. The worst that could happen is that I would lose $32.
  6. Glad you got it. @Canadianbtmguy maybe today was the day 🙃 Guess what? I just got my Brazil visa today! I was a bit stressed because my credit card payment sent the code to one of my work phones. I have no clue why, but I figured it out. I updated my credit card profile to receive the codes in my personal phone. I took the picture with my iPhone because it was digital, which made it easier. But I double-checked that it looked how they want me to, with a white background. I cropped the picture twice, but here’s something no one has mentioned: the Brazilian site actually crops the picture for you. You just have to scroll up and down until it looks good. I added the dates that I was planning for June 16. And just put my income I didn’t have to submit anything. So I’m all set to travel! I submitted my application on Friday, the 23rd, and I just received the email confirmation. I’m so excited! I’ll print out plenty of copies, just in case. So, I’m getting ready for SP Pride! It’s a bit of a last-minute decision, as most Pride events aren’t really my thing or for my type . But hey, it can be have more GP plus the eye candy The $ still in good shape, so I’ve canceled my Montreal trip and instead heading to SP. Can’t wait
  7. Thanks for the info! I submitted mine on Thursday, and things are looking good so far. The site didn’t ask for proof of travel or income, but I did enter the flights departure and exit for my next trip to the Pride week.
  8. 👋🏻 jumping in the SP Pride bandwagon so add another mature bottom to the line lol II was planning to visit Montreal, but I started reading about SP Pride, and it seems like a lot of fun. I’m hoping there will be more GPs to meet the demand of 1.5 million gays. 🤣 My only downside is the visa. I’m taking the pictures today to apply later in the day I booked my hotel just waiting for the boss to get my ticket june 16 to june 23/24 Any tips would be appreciated.
  9. Thanks. Since I can’t travel until past July or August, I’ll hold off until May to begin the process. How do I miss Brazil? 😭 My regulars keep posting in their accounts, and I’m acting like a schoolboy sending them hearts. 😛
  10. Wow. What a nice set of posts! Brazil really outshines every other country; I'm so ready for my next trip. The U.S. dollar is weak everywhere except in Brazil holding steady at $R 5.7/8
  11. Thanks everyone. I’ll start researching key locations. Has anyone done the visa? My only confusion is about the ticket part. Do I need a flight ticket?
  12. Hi everyone, I’m trying to satisfy my nostalgic longing for Brazil, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to travel until after July. So, I’m considering visiting Montreal instead. I’ve already booked my flights: September entry in São Paulo and departure from Rio one week in each city. However, I’m still exploring the possibility of venturing into another Brazilian city with tourist facilities. So, I agree with all the previous posters about SP: the best GPs rarely hang out in the bar. Since climbing or using the stairs is quite a hassle for me, I usually sit at the small table in front of the clothing store, which is number 11 table That way, I can see who arrives from their changing room. or sit at the 3rd or 4th floor, but I take it easy between the 2nd and 3rd floor. However, my experience has shown me that those who hang out too much on either floor are not the ones I’m looking for. My type? If it walks, is in their mid-20s, has a handsome face, and is I ly top, but is also a good kisser and cuddler, I’m all for it. Then, the second preference l is their body and how hung they are. And yes, I’ve noticed that SP has more city, pretty muscular boys, while Rio has more mulatto guys, and I love them equally Most of my regulars in Lagoa are either blonde, muscular guys with pretty faces. They’re regular sizes, but they have great kissers. Nothing like kissing such pretty faces. Also, those guys prepared me for the big boys. I didn’t visit 555, but I went to Phyton twice when it was recently opened. It was quite new at the time, so there weren’t many GPs, and unfortunately, none of them impressed me. The service was extremely slow, so I reached out to one of my regulars from Lagoa, and we met there instead. We had a fantastic time without the pressure of missing out on any good GPs. On Friday night, I returned to Phyton, and it was much better. There was also an additional area downstairs with dancers, where I met this beautiful blond 19-year-old guy who was very affectionate. We spent the entire night holding hands in a BFE. I bought us a bottle of champagne, and we went to the room twice before returning to the bar where I parade my trophy bf. He was, nice but cocky with most of the locals (both GPs and clients) he had what it takes to be that good Overall, it was a fantastic experience that totally hit the mark! As they say, it takes one to make your day or night. I had already shared my Phyton experience in previous posts. So, I left SP and headed to Rio on Sunday. Since Lagoa is very slow on Sundays, I didn’t visit any sex clubs in SP. Unfortunately, I didn’t find any of the non-GP patrons attractive, and my taste has been spoiled with hot guys from the saunas in Rio and SP. Now, I’m looking into some options to visit another city with GP.
  13. To be honest, it’s relative. What may be hot for me might not be for you, and vice versa. In my opinion, a 5 to 7pm seems like a reasonable time to go. However, I will say that you should go as far as you feel comfortable and take it from there. For instance, today, there were a lot of guys, but I didn’t see any hotter ones that I hadn’t seen before.
  14. No, I was wondering to use it for the programas with garotos since some of them have mentioned that they take PIX. For the saunas I always paid with CC. I have never paid the tab with cash since cash can be hard to get if you run out of it. In 117 and in 202 there is one of those ATMs that works with every major debit card. And there are at least one Bradesco within walking distance. The only one that is a pain if you run out of cash is Lagoa, there is mo atm near.
  15. How do you get the PIX? I’ve been trying to find a way to use it without luck. That would help a lot instead of carrying cash. Also, Bradesco has resulted in the best bank to get money from.
  16. So, prices have been increasing across all saunas’ entrances. For instance, in Lagos, the prices for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have risen to R$90. However, compared to what I would have to pay in the US for a sauna or club that would be a complete waste of time and impossible to meet anyone, let alone a hot guy, Brazil is still a steal! I wish the exchange rate was higher, but it’s still quite reasonable. When I arrived, it was the last day at R$5.88, so fortunately, I had changed a lot of money at that rate. But then when down to 5,71 and staying there On the other hand, the GP prices remain at 200/300, which is still incredible. It all depends on what you’re looking for and the famous elite Yesterday in Point, I encountered the same group of super hot guys. I only saw them as they were leaving with clients, as I was one of them. The ones who were hanging around seemed nice and cute. The hot ones rarely last and you don’t see them in the main saloon Today, there are 117 free rooms available. So that will be the hunger games of pau and ardência
  17. Hey, I have a quick update: Point 202 will be closed on Sundays and Tuesdays. So, the discussion before the post about closing two days was accurate, and the calendar I posted needs to be updated to reflect these two days. They’ve made some changes. Do you recall the dark area under the stairs, leading to the private room, where a porn movie was playing near the locker rooms? With some garotos sitting there? That area has been completely renovated with a charming set of tables and chairs. I’ve attached a few pictures below. I was informed that Point will be open every day during the carnival! I’ll provide more details later. Now, I’m on my way to the beach.
  18. Yes It is another one is called Python https://www.instagram.com/pythoncluboficial?igsh=bnB0ZXZuNWg5NTd2 From Lagoa t is around 12/15 minutes in Uber
  19. Hi all. How amazing is it to be in Brazil with all those succulent garotos?😛 I arrived in São Paulo on Tuesday, February 10th. Everything went smoothly. However, since it was an early flight, I had to hang out at the airport for a while before boarding. Afterward, I decided to take public transportation to Avenida Paulista and Consolacao. From there, I would walk to my hotel. Since I only had a carry-on and a backpack, it was relatively easy. Here are the steps for those who want to do the same: 1. On your way to the parking lot, find the R$50 Airport Bus Service from GRU to Avenida Paulista. You can see it here: https://www.airportbusservice.com.br/. 2. There is also a free shuttle to the train station, which then takes you to the subway line. but that one is a bit complicated so you can find instructions to do that one since you will only pay the subway like R$6 I was able to check in early. The weather was beautiful, sunny, and dry. The area in Frei Caneca is still very charming and kind of gay in my eyes. So after an early lunch, one of my regulars from Lagoa contacted me to meet, so we decided to check out the new sauna Python. -------- It may be a bit of a hectic report but if I don't type as it happens, I will forget--- Python is bigger and newer, but the layout is not helpful; the rooms are all the way in the back and downstairs. I went twice last week Luckily, the first time they also have a 2-for-1 drinks special. I went with one of my Lagoa regulars, and I only have him; the rest of the guys weren’t attractive, let's say 4s and 5s. But take it with a grain of salt since it's for one day and one person's POV. Then it was a big night on Saturday. They opened a second saloon, downstairs too but kind of hidden. That day was better, but Lagoa still has the best guys, especially on Wednesdays. Wednesday at Lagoa was amazing. In Lagoa, you'll find plenty of options to choose from. I'm talking about 9s and some 10s that vanish as soon as they hit the sauna. Perhaps that's why some believe the real hot GPs don't hang out at the saunas anymore? Because there were incredible GPs that never stuck around. They'd arrive, and someone would grab them right away, and then they were gone. So, when I'm looking to meet, I only hang out on the second or third floor to catch them as soon as they walk in because they're not often seen. The stunning ones go there for about an hour and do so many programs that they leave right away, but they still have some hot GPs hanging around and socializing, so there are plenty of choices. and the Lagoa rooms are still better than any other place. Now, I’m in Rio. Last night, I visited 117, which was just average, and nothing much has changed. There weren’t many GPs, and it happened the same way as in Lagoa. Three extremely hot guys arrived, but they didn’t pass the room stairs threshold. As soon as they came down from the rooms, someone grabbed them. I was able to meet one of them, this stunning 6’ swimmer with a face and a model’s physique. He had a huge pau after me, and he left. i will give more details. on following posts. Also, you can tell the city is preparing for the carnival; there are so many people everywhere. I will give a try to Garotolocal and those sites since you can see a lot more posts than usual. I am not a fan of meeting those guys without talking to/seeing them first. But I will check them out. Some pics from Python, since it was early and almost empty. Tuesday, 3 pm, in order: Saloon after you enter, with a bar at the left. After passing through the narrow hallway, there are the stairs leading down to the private rooms. To the left, there are showers and a steam room. To the right, there are garoto lockers, and further to the right, there’s the private rooms area. There’s a hallway to the left that leads you to an extra saloon that only opens late on weekends, I believe. However, I’m not entirely certain about this. 1- 2- 3- 4-
  20. Yes, more sex for SP and more relaxation in Rio. When you say "baby gay," do you mean you are young—under 40? Because in that case, my experience will be different from yours. I'm almost 60, and we received a different treatment in those cruising places at our age. Also, I see that Floridabob answered what GP means. I didn't know either. But now is my favorite word TBH; I am mostly doing programs with garotos. or in plain English, only escorts/Brazilian rent boys. they are hotter than the ones you will find on sex places,. check this site; it is pretty accurate. https://latenightcruisin.com/daily/latin-america/rio-de-janeiro/
  21. hi, i dont like or do parks is not my style .so i dont know about parks or outdoor cruising in any part of Brazil. Yes, good dick, the best dick one can find. 😜In Rio, go to Taurus; again, if you are into cruising with no GP, Taurus is open late and only on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. it is wild.
  22. Honestly, I agree with that assessment. SP is the city with more sex places I’ve ever been to. SP sex/ cruising is outstanding but also overwhelming. Rio also has cruising places but not as many as SP. Also, I am talking from my own experience: I was never lucky at cruising places in the USA, but here in SP as an older chub, I can’t get enough. But I still prefer the GP. So I visit the sex places during the daytime or after hours, but at my age, I am taking it easy sex places can make you tired since , like in all places, there is a lot of walking and trial and error, while the GPs in the saunas or app usually are a sure thing. Good luck. Good luck Also, why don’t you do both? This is what I would do: enter by São Paulo, where there are more direct flight options. Then, go to Rio and leave back to your destination from Rio. The flight between the two cities is incredibly cheap and easy. However, if it’s too close to your travel plans, you can use the bus. I’ll try that this time and report back. I’m currently in São Paulo, and in about a week and a half, I’ll be heading to Rio. I’ll report also, Rio beaches are magnificent
  23. I don’t have it on Android, but you can try the browser Brave. It’s a very good one that has a night mode.
  24. Thanks a lot! It works wonderfully, and I love that I can have a dark mode.
  25. Stronly agree, could they at least drop the GP fee? I thought the guys got in for less. I feel so bad. They're such nice guys and deserve the world. I have a trip planned for February, but I'm not sure yet. i have the booking, but I may pay a bit extra for the flight, but I want to wait to see how everything is going after January.- I know that a couple of weeks wont make that much of a difference, but I still want to think about it.
