    bucknaway reacted to WAP_2024 in Brazil - umpteenth trip, first report   
    Hello everyone,
    I wanted to share a trip report and some tips / thoughts that you may find helpful.
    I stayed in SP for one night close to GRU airport after a long haul flight, went to Lagoa of course. And the next day I headed to Rio for a couple of days.
    My international flights were out of GRU. But I did the SP / Rio flights from GRU to SDU. SDU is closer to Copacabana / Ipanema I think. I flew Azul, it was fine. Comfortable and on time.
    Saunas - 117 / 202 / Lagoa
    Lagoa is not what it used to be. Maybe it was timing but definitely did not see the same calibre of guys as previous trips. No familiar faces at all except staff.
    I realized later that every time I got a room at Lagoa, I was being charged the fully hourly room rate. Even though the GP’s usually finish within 20 - 30 minutes max. In Rio, I decided to get a room for a couple of hours on my last night. This also saved me having to go to reception every time I needed a room. I figured it may end up cheaper and more logistically friendly - find your guy and go straight to the room - not sure if that was true or not…. I still ended up paying a lot at the end of the night even though I only had 1 drink. It only occurred to me later that the cost was likely too high, and I probably should have queried it. Notwithstanding that I was probably overcharged, I am not sure if this approach to room hiring makes sense or not but just thought I would share.
    117 is a more upscale version of 202 in my opinion. Both in terms of layout, rooms, cleanliness and guys. It was decent on Friday, quiet on Sunday. By 11pm it was shutting down. It is a bit further out though. I stayed close to a metro station but just ended up using uber to everywhere.
    202 was dead quiet both days I went. Thursday evening around 8pm - 2 guys there only. Saturday around 5pm - only 1 guy.
    Don’t fall for the trap of getting 2 boys … I don’t think it is worth it
    Even though I discussed rates and services upfront, most GPs tried to upsell or didn’t do what was agreed. In particular, kissing…. They would agree but during the session they would go through with it or they wouldn’t engage fully when kissing.
    I don’t ask for leite - 1 guy was persistent whilst we were in the act about offering me his leite. It was a turn off and I eventually ended the session prematurely.
    Some guys will give their leite - even if you didn’t ask for it. And then ask for a higher price afterwards. I just did not have the energy to argue and just paid it, but it did leave me disappointed and annoyed.
    Rates were all over the place but generally in 200 to 300 reais region without leite.
    Rio G sauna is not GP sauna. Mainly locals and some tourists. Good for after beach R&R. No hot tubs though. Worth a visit at least once I think. Closes at 10pm though.
    Beach
    The barracas (tents) on the beach provide pretty much everything you need. Chair + umbrella = 30 reais. A “waiter” from the baracca will come to you and offer you drinks and you can run a tab. It’s pretty cheap. They also water, soda etc.
    There are a lot of vendors, but they are usually not persistent. They are trying to make a living. If you say no thank you, they will usually go away. But you can get anything on the beach. Swimsuits, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, gum, empanadas, hot dogs etc…. There was even a guy with a cake stand with full sized cakes and coffee.
    Baracca Ana #55 was really good. Excellent service and very friendly staff. Baraca Denise # 63 close to Poste 9 is in the gay beach area. This baracca was not as good in my opinion. You can actually search for the baracas by number of name on Apple Map.
    Pack light, leave money at your hotel, don’t tempt anyone to steal. Place your phone and credit card in a water tight case so you can go into the water or for a stroll if you like. If you don’t have a water proof phone case, a vendor will come by selling it.
    Food
    Most places I went to, protein was overcooked. Lots of olive oil and loads of cheese. So not the best of options for those of us that watch what we eat …
    I would highly recommend Marcus Degustaria restaurant. It’s an experience, higher end of the price scale but cheap by North American standards. Tip - you don’t have to accept everything they bring out to you. You will get stuffed very quickly. Choose what you like, feel free to decline, they will bring it out again later.
    Etta Bar - also really good. Best cocktails I had was here. Tip for any bar including saunas - if you don’t like drinks super sweet or syrupy - just say “sem acucar”. Most times they will oblige.
    Coffee- regular coffee is just an espresso or cafe americano. Cappuccino is often the premade instant stuff , or they add in sugar already.
    Zona Sul is like a Trader Joes. You will find everything you could need here. Even decent sushi.
    Where to stay
    I would suggest Copacabana between Poste 1 to 5. You are close to 202, Black Cat Bar and closer to 117 than if you stayed in Ipanema
    Lots of reasonably priced Air Bnb. Just ask about guests upfront. Mine was fine with guests but I didn’t have any.
    You are a bit further away from the gay beach but convenience of being closer to the saunas. The other thing I liked is that there are rows of restaurants and bars along the beach on Copacabana area, often open till late. Very few options directly on the beach in Ipanema and not open till late
    I felt safe walking alone at night along Copacabana. There is a lot of cops present.
    Gloria / Lapa area is close to 117. Also has a vibrant night life, restaurants etc.
    Pink Flamingo is the main gay night club. The other club is The Home which is more electronic dance - but I didn’t make it out here. There are also Local gay sambey events - worth looking into it.
    There are women working in the saunas, bars, clubs. Women security guards that pat you down. I found this a bit unnerving or maybe it was just in my head. A woman waiting at the top of the stairs at 117, staring me down every time I took a guy up. lol… Poppers are not allowed in Pink Flamingo, leave at your hotel / air bnb. There seem to be people selling on Grindr now too. Don’t know if it’s reliable.
    Grindr is a total waste of time in my opinion in this part of the world. Sniffies is hardly used.
    Hope this has been helpful. Feel free to DM with any questions.
    Cheers.

    I'll be returning to Brazil in November for a few weeks, starting my trip in São Paulo and ending in Rio. This trip will be a little different because I have some dental work to take care of.
    I need to have a crown repaired. I was originally planning to get it done here at home, but with my vacation fast approaching, I figured I might as well take care of it while I'm in São Paulo. It will also give me an opportunity to see whether Brazil might become my destination of choice for future dental work.
    Last year, I had some dental work done in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The cost was low, and the quality of the work was top-notch. So much so that I decided I would return there if I ever needed a procedure that would cost me more than $1,000 here in the USA. I'm hoping Brazil will become another option.
    Aside from that, I'm curious about what's going on at Point202. The last time I was there, they didn't have a drink price list. I asked for one, and they told me they didn't have one. Well, I wasn't about to spend money without knowing what things cost, so I went without drinks. I actually visited two or three times without buying anything.
    I mentioned here that I would never purchase anything without knowing the price, and wouldn't you know it, the very next day there was a drink price list sitting on the bartop! I have no idea whether this forum had anything to do with it or whether they simply managed to find their missing price list.
    So, on this upcoming trip, I'm wondering what I'll find. Will there be a price list waiting for me, or will I get to save my money? (I'm not much of a drinker anyway.)
    You would think that with all those hot guys walking around in towels and casually waving their erections around, my attention would be focused elsewhere. But what can I say? The job I love is in procurement!
    Haha!

    I have google fi here in the USA and I use that plan when I am in Brazil and use data freely and I can use my phone as a hotspot.
