Interesting article in the New York Times about SP love motels:

I'm there in a month, I'll take a look!

The article forgot to mention the somewhat simpler places that have such a narrow garage/carport .. that it is almost impossible to
get out of the car.... and to close the curtain behind the car (cheaper than a garage port).

The room often is fine, large bed, lots of mirrors, good bathroom etc.

Cost 40-50 Reais per hour.

In Rio you have to go way outside Zona Sul and your comfort zone to find these. In the boonies, like in Boring Horizonte - they are abundant.

Finally something that's not Dilma's fault.

Skisandy there is a place like this downtown near a major bus stop. Very nice place, car port, dinning room, hot tub for 6, huge bed, porno videos. Best night ever in Rio! I went there one night after 4x4 with a couple of new friends.

Yes - good info -- but is there a curtain (instead of a car port/door)? The curtain adds to the local charm, in my opinion.
