Belo Horizonte - September 2025

[Peter Parker]

I spent an enjoyable weekend in Belo Horizonte in early September. It was great returning to this wonderful city after my last visit in 2022 and taking the chance to indulge in some of the best food Brazil has to offer. The rain limited my options for outdoor activities, so I focused on visiting the saunas and the lively Mercado Central. This bustling indoor market is always a highlight for me - wandering through the stalls, grabbing a drink, and savouring freshly grilled meat. Saturdays are especially vibrant, with the bars packed full of cheerful locals enjoying a few beers.

 

Sauna Olimpo
Olimpo has changed a lot since my last visit. Back in 2022, GPs weren’t allowed, but now they’re back in force. Around 15 boys worked both Friday and Saturday, ranging in looks and body types. The system is simple: boys wear blue towels, clients wear white. Rates were between 100 and 150 reais. I usually went with the 150 option, and it paid off—the boys were eager, accommodating, and gave solid service.

 

The sauna itself is well-run. There’s a good-sized dry sauna, a hot steam room, and a dark cruising maze with several free cabins for quick action. If you want more privacy, there are 5 larger paid suites with clean sheets, perfect for longer sessions. The bar had a fun, relaxed vibe. Regulars like the older guys playing cards in the corner added a nice touch. Music was upbeat pop, with a live DJ Friday and Saturday, and he even checked in with me to ask if the volume was OK.

 

The entertainment was fun. Friday night had drag queen bingo, which kept the energy playful. Saturday night featured an interactive stripper who walked around pouring tequila down customers’ throats, then shoved his hard cocks in the same mouths. Each interaction lasted a couple of minutes. I’ll admit, tequila never tasted so good.

 

Sunday evening was a completely different scene. By 8 p.m. the venue was overflowing with younger clients, most of whom were busy with each other. Towels had even run out by the time I arrived. With the towel system no longer in play, it was nearly impossible to distinguish GPs. Fortunately, I’d already had my share of fun earlier at Sauna 1097, so I was content to enjoy Olimpo’s facilities with a drink. The reception staff were very welcoming, and for my next visit, I’ll ask in advance if there are themed parties that don’t include GP.

 

Sauna 1097
My visit to 1097 on Sunday was a pleasant surprise. I’d found it dingy in the past, with weak facilities and a selection of skinny, rough-looking boys. This time, though, the GPs were better than Olimpo’s: young, lean, muscular guys who were eager and energetic. The facilities aren’t as polished—sauna and steam could use maintenance, and there are no paid suites—but they do have six free rooms that work fine for quick or extended sessions.

 

The vibe at 1097 is more straightforward: it’s easy to connect with the boys, negotiate, and get down to business. I enjoyed two hot sessions with a stunning 19-year-old and then with a fit 23-year-old GP.

 

With Olimpo and 1097 just 10 minutes apart, it’s easy to do both in the same evening. On Sunday, I went to 1097 around 4:30 p.m., then headed to Olimpo by 8 p.m. That combination worked perfectly—and looking back, I wish I’d done the same on Friday and Saturday instead of sticking to just one.

Superb update on Belo Horizonte!  Thanks for sharing the good news. 

Based on your report I'll definitely return to BH now after a hiatus of six or seven years. 

You mentioned the rain.  BH has some of the most intense monsoon weeks of any place I've visited in Brazil.  November, December, January often have nonstop downpours.  But May through August are the driest months.  I'll return in June or July. Thanks again.

Thx Peter!

I have on my map also Kratos and 24 Hours. Have they closed, or not worth a visit?

[Peter Parker]

24 Hours is open. I walked past a couple of times since it’s just a block from Olimpo, but didn’t go in as I was told there’s no GP work there. I also didn’t try Kratos, though I understand that venue is open as well.

Both 24 Hours (renamed Yes) and Kratos are open. I usually go to 24 Hours, as it is, well, 24 Hours. It is particularly busy during the weekends. However, now that Olimpo has opened late at weekends, I sometimes go there instead. It has a different crowd. Kratos is a bit run down, but it is easier to hook up there (similar to Yes).
