Im going to be in Salvador for a week and was considering a side trip to Recife. I'm wondering if anyone has and advise on that plan. I've heard nice things about Recife as a town and was wondering about opportunities for play. Is there a sauna with garotos? I assume I should fly rather than drive or take a bus. Are there not-to-be-missed sights or experiences. Thanks.

If you search for “Salvador” and “Recife” on this forum, you may find other threads discussing these destinations.

As I wrote in this thread:

“Recife has 3, possibly 4, saunas with working boys: Blue Thermas, Sauna Progresso and Termas Boa Vista. The 4th is Termas 111, but I have not yet visited it, and I’m not so sure how well visited it is. I heard it is not well visited, by either clients or working boys.

Fortaleza has 2 saunas with garotos: California and Dragon. Both are busy. Dragon is newer.”

Fly to Recife, don’t go by bus or car. By road, it’s a 10 hour drive with no stops. A R/T flight from Salvador will cost you only about $200 with two-week advance purchase.

Traveling from DC as I am, it is actually easier to get to Recife. In my coming trip to Salvador, I only found flights with a stop in Recife.

Based on research, not first-hand experience, here is how I loosely sketch out Recife.

I really don’t think there’s a non-stop from anywhere in the USA to Salvador.

Actually, a few months ago LATAM introduced a weekly non-stop: MIA-SSA dep Sunday afternoons, return dep to MIA in the wee hours of Monday morning. LATAM now serves 7 Brasil destinations from Miami.
