Day 1: Wednesday

My previous trip to Argentina was in 2010. I didn't file a report but I did submit some photos. I may submit a report later to add some context to them.

Immigration coming in seemed smoother than I remember. Everyone seemed to have their reciprocity fee paperwork in order so the line moved quickly.

I withdrew some pesos from the ATM and went to check the rate for taxis to the city. In the past the cost hovered in the range of about $30, but it seemed significantly more expensive now. I didn't notate the price, though. I was not yet aware of the worsening currency situation since my last trip, but more on that later. I asked about bus transport and decided to do a combination bus/taxi into the city instead. The cost for the bus was 80 pesos or $14 USD (or $ 9 at the underground rate, but again I didn't know yet).

From the bus station the taxi wounded up being 34 pesos to my hostel. A lot of that was burned up in traffic near the station. Since I do not bring a lot of luggage when I travel, I'll cross into the downtown area next time before I grab the taxi.

After checking in, I was ready to get to hobbying so I walked over to Cafe Orleans. I recognized two faces of women I had been with, Isabel, whom I had seen working every visit since my first over 10 years ago, and Ximena, a beauty from my 2010 trip.

I took my time checking the talent and drinking coffee until I decided to call over one of the younger ladies, the most attractive one in the place. I had a little concern about her attitude based on how she looked in the bar, but when I met Paula from Paraguay, she was warm and friendly. I was eager to get my session started so I accepted her $100 US quote without haggling and off we were to a room at the transitorio on Tres Sargentos.

Paula's skills were well developed, both in foreplay and in sex. Since I hadn't had sex in a while, I came relatively quickly, but we cuddled and talked until our time was up.

Since I was in the area and knew it was usually open early in the past, I decided to check on Cutty Sark, but it was closed at 6:45pm. I'd make it back later on my trip.

I then walked up Cordoba to the recently reopened Exedra where Cordoba meets Carlos Pelligrini. It's the same place as it was before. There were a few decent looking ladies working, including one I saw earlier in Cafe Orleans, but there was no one particularly interesting.

I headed back to rest and grab dinner. I also looked at some escort pages and did a little research on a planned sidetrip to Montevideo.

Later in the evening, I made a long trip towards Recoleta along Carlos Pelligrini, stopping at Shampoo on the way. I had wondered about this place for a while, it had been rumored closed but I had seen it open on my last couple visits. I finally confirmed the status, it's no longer a P4P venue but a disco for youths now, instead.

I was going to have limited time on this trip, so most of the following was a check on cover charges to assist me in planning the rest of my days. I wanted to give some priority to places I hadn't been before, along with returning to places I remembered fondly, but I also wanted to keep my budget reasonable.

I stopped by Black but didn't go in. They wanted 280 pesos cover. $50 USD was outrageous and I had never been that impressed there so I continued on.

Hippopotamus had nicer ladies based on my past experience there, but they wanted a 300 peso cover and I'd have to buy the ladies drinks in addition to their quote, there was no way I was going for that.

Player's on Guido was a bar I had never been in before, so I considered going in there, but not yet. They had two options for cover, 100 pesos with one drink included or 150 pesos for two drinks. I took note of that for future reference.

I finally stopped in New Port since they don't charge a cover. There I recognized another face from over 10 years ago. She still looked decent, but definitely surgically enhanced and possibly face lifted. I wouldn't pay much for her, but I would say she's still beddable.

There were some other fairly nice ladies there at 12:45am, but only one that stood out, a Paraguayan by the name of Marina. She caught me looking and came over to introduce herself. I wasn't sold on her but asked about her fee, she wanted 1000 pesos. I didn't think she was $180 hot so I passed. Had I been properly prepared with my finances I would have considered the $110 rate, but that knowledge was still to come.

I left Newport and headed towards Madahos. There was no sign of Play's and La Lopez on the way, both had been closed for some time.

I already knew Madahos was probably closed, but I wanted to confirm. It was.

Sodoma next door appeared open, but I thought I remembered reported problems there in the past so I ignored the touts there.

I checked on cover for Hellas since I had never been there before. It was 150 pesos.

There was another place I didn't recognize called Toreto. I understand it used to be called Brut. They wanted 100 pesos cover.

I then turned left on Puerrydon and continued to where Affaire used to be. That place is long gone.

A block or two up I walked into Madonnas to check the cover, 190 pesos there.

At Cordoba I caught a taxi to Rio Cabaņa since it would have been a much longer walk. That ride was 30 peses. On the way I looked for Salome, that place is gone.

Rio Cabaņa never has a cover and had 10 ladies sitting around. Several were tempting as far as looks, but I've never liked the ambiance there. The ladies all looked bored and uninterested. They'll usually perk up if you call them over, but I really wasn't horny enough to care much. I decided to call it a night with just the one session for the day. The beer I drank was 160 pesos. Cab back to the hostel was 57 pesos. More to come soon...

Day 2: Thursday

I spent the late morning/early afternoon on the internet. It wasn't until this point that I came to understand the currency situation and how much more this trip was going to cost me because I didn't bring enough cash. If you have any plans on visiting Argentina soon, I highly recommend becoming familiar with this along with spotting fake currency and avoiding bill swapping tricks.

The rest of my day consisted of exploring and non-hobbying activities. I didn't set out on the prowl for ladies until 11pm. I first did a little recon on a place called Cafe Iberia nearby. I only saw one potential freelancer, but she was older and unattractive. I returned to Carlos Pelligrini then set off towards Exedra, but only walked by. There were a couple potentials inside, but they were older as was most of the lineup.

Around the corner and onto Suipacha, I walked past Cattos and Ness and entered Hook. My beer there was 100 pesos. People, myself included, often complain about how dark Hook is but it seemed brighter than usual this evening. The talent was decent, but one brunette in particular stood out. She was with a guy, but I asked a waiter and he identified her as Brenda. I probably waited over an hour, but the guy she was with kept buying her drinks. I decided to try another day.

I hiked over to Recoleta and into Player's for my first, and probably last time. The address is 1946 Guido. I opted for the two drinks for 150 peso cover. There were seven ladies available, eight if the bartender was, but all were mediocre at best. The bartender was the best looking. One of the ladies that approached me was named Fiorella. I think she was a she, but she looked and sounded like a post-op. I decided to leave after one drink. I paid for two, but there was no sense in wasting my time there.

New Port had a few ladies worth considering, but no one noteworthy. I didn't order any drinks this time.

I decided to try Nuevo Estilo since it always seemed a good place in the past. The taxi from Recoleta was 52 pesos. Cover was 120 pesos and included one drink. Things looked promising as I saw a pretty lady walking out while I was walking in, but the rest of the talent turned out to be disappointing. I recognized Crystal from my previous trip, but she didn't look as nice this time. It was getting late so I decided to take another stab at Hook.

I looked for a taxi outside but couldn't find one. I ended up taking a nearby remis driver for 65 pesos to Exedra for a quick look. There were a few older ladies still working, but no one I would consider taking.

There were only a few ladies still available at Hook, but at least two were attractive enough, but no Brenda. I waited a bit longer and Brenda returned from a session around 4am. The waiter brought her over for me. She had less makeup on and wasn't nearly as impressive, but she was still attractive enough. Unfortunately, she was boring. I wasn't really surprised based on my earlier observations of her, but I had been hopeful. She was still nice but I lost interest and she was tired as well. We talked about maybe having a drink another time earlier in the evening.

One of the other ladies I had considered also returned from a session, but she also looked ready to go home. I finally accepted I'd be striking out for the day. I didn't mind too much because of the budget situation.

I walked backed to the hostel stopping at a 24 hour convenience stand on the way for a sandwich. I decided I'd at least do an escort the next day in case I had any issues in the evening again.

Anywhere there is a black market dollar rate all sorts of scammers come out of the wordwork. Many people want dollars for local currency and get stuck with a couple bad hundreds in a fast $500 street swap and the reverse is also true.Changing
money with a merchant in a small shop is much less
likely to be a ripoff.

Blue Dollar today is A$ 10.93 for one US$.

Day 3: Friday

Friday's 4pm escort sample was a Colombian named Andy from Bairesgirls.net at Maipu 631. I chose Andy because her face looked very pretty in her photos and her rate was acceptable at 400 pesos. Heavy Photoshop of photos is so common among Argentina escorts that you never know what the body can be really like, but at least you get a good idea of the face.



When Andy opened the door, I could see it was her, but I was slightly disappointed. As expected, she was bigger than the photos portrayed, but at least she was still within an acceptable range.

Photos: Andy - Bairesgirls.net 05 06 07

Fortunately Andy had a very good attitude and provided a wonderful BBBJ and enthusiastic sex. I left a happy customer.

I walked over to Cafe Orleans, but didn't see anyone interesting.

None of the clubs were open and I didn't feel like looking for another escort or going to apartment brothels so I killed time with touristy stuff until the evening.

Around 10pm I took the metro line A until the last stop at Carabobo so I could check out Dolys and Envidia in the Flores district. There are a couple stops after Carabobo that would have brought me closer, but they're either incomplete or close at an earlier hour. I'll try to find out the next time I'm there. From Carabobo it was about a 10 block walk to where I wanted to go, but it was on a major street, Avenida Rivadavia.

When I got to San Pedrito, I turned left to walk the four blocks to Dolys. This neighborhood is said to be a little on the "rough" side, but it's never bothered me to walk there in the past. On this occasion, I came across a trail of blood droplets that went on for a couple of blocks. This had me on my toes, but I continued on. When I got to where Dolys used to be, I saw it had been closed. From the looks of it, I doubt it will reopen.

I retraced my steps since San Pedrito is better lit than the more direct route to Envidia, turning left back onto Rivadavia and right onto Algerich. Envidia looked open at first, but it turned out to be closed as well. A guy standing out front directed me to a small building across the street where he said the Envidia ladies were working until they finished remodeling the place. (He said it would be a few months so it might be finished by now.)

The room with the ladies was very small, probably able to fit about 8 people comfortably, others would have to stand. The five ladies there were nothing special, but I went ahead and sat with the cutest one. Her name was Melody. She was older, probably late 30's, but she had a nice body on the skinny side, a beautiful smile, and appeared very friendly. I agreed to spend 200 pesos for beers for both of us. Melody was touchy while we spoke, but despite my requests she couldn't help but speak very rapidly. It was difficult for me to understand a lot of what she was saying.

Despite Melody's age and nonstop chatter, I was intrigued enough to consider a session. The quote was acceptable at 350 pesos for 30 minutes or 450 pesos for an hour, both including short time hotel fees. When I suggested we leave, Melody agreed but wanted to drink and talk more first. I declined and didn't mind it much when she asked again, but by the third and fourth time it got annoying. To her surprise and disappointment, I thanked her for her time, paid, and walked out.

Rather than taking an expensive cab back to Microcentro, I decided to try the bus. Line 5 would take me close to where I needed to be in Retiro. When the bus arrived, I discovered that you were supposed to have some kind of pass to ride. I had cash, but I couldn't understand the bus driver. He either didn't have change or they can't take cash, but he just waved me on and let me ride for free. That's another thing I'll figure out for next time.

The bus ended up bringing me to about eight blocks to where I wanted to be, which was Hook, so I had to walk again. Some of the streets were dark and shady looking, so again I was on my toes, but I got there without any problems.

Brenda was available, but she looked boring and I already had my fill of wasted time with ladies for the night so I waited for other options. The wait was well worth it, because in walked a blond and I was floored!

Cielo had everything, looks, body, and an excellent personality. I bought her a drink for 200 pesos and spent a good amount of time in a delightful conversation with her. Her quote was a little high at 1000 pesos, but at the time I was happy to pay it. We took a taxi outside to the Tres Sargentos transitorio for 20 pesos, but ended up having to wait in the lobby for a bit for a room to open up.

Cielo provided as good of a session as I could hope for. I didn't ask about or want Greek, but everything else was provided. If I had more time in BA, she would easily have been a repeat.

After the session I rode back with Cielo to Hook for another 20 pesos and decided to walk back to the hostel, still on a high from the incredible session.

Day 4: Saturday

The previous day really wore me out, I ended up sleeping in until the early afternoon. I spent a lot of time on the internet getting ready for my trip to Montevideo the next day. I also took the metro to the Flores stop and walked to the Buquebus station to buy my ticket. The route was a ferry to Colonia followed by a bus ride to Montevideo. There was a direct ferry, but it would have been considerably more expensive. The price I paid was around 1400 pesos round trip.

I didn't get out for any hobbying until 11pm. I decided to start off with recon in the Microcentro area. My first stop was another place I'd never been before, Periplo. A guy opened the door as I approached. Inside I could see it was empty save for three ladies, two older and unattractive ones and a third that might have been ok but I couldn't get a clear view of her. I told the guy I was just walking by and was curious, but also wanted to know if they were open Sunday. He said they were. I also asked about the beer price which was 100 pesos.

After Periplo, I stopped in Cutty Sark and settled down for a 70 peso beer. I asked and they are also open on Sunday. There were a fair number of ladies, but only a couple that were acceptable, I met both. Valeria was pretty, but I was a little suspicious of the hat she was wearing. It might have just been my imagination, but for some reason I thought it looked like it was hiding some kind of flaw with her head or hair. Elizabeth had a great body, but she was older and had some crazy looking eyes. I came close to considering Valeria, but thought again about my budget and decided to pass.

I then decided to check out Ness and Cattos since I had skipped them earlier. I first took a brief look in Excedra, but didn't see anyone interesting around 1am.

I bought a beer in Ness for 100 pesos. There were eight ladies around, most unattractive, but one was really pretty. I thought her face looked almost exactly like porn-star Abella Anderson, but unfortunately, her body was not as nice. Most of her figure was ok, but she had a little too much in the middle. I came close to inviting her to a drink and potentially taking her out based solely on her looks, but I was concerned about her personality after talking to her briefly and ended up walking out.

Across the street in Cattos, my beer was 90 pesos. This bar had about the same number of ladies and similar level of talent but without Abella. There was a live singer that was attractive, but I doubted she was available. I left after by beer.

It was 2am by now and I had time to visit more places, but I decided to just save some money and get some rest. I walked home after striking out for the second time on my trip.

Intermission

I got out of my hostel later than intended, so I ended up having to grab a cab instead of taking the metro to Retiro and walking the rest of the way.

The trip to and from Montevideo went very smoothly. When I went to withdraw money at the Tres Cruces station in Montevideo, I discovered I could withdraw US dollars. This relieved some budget constraints for my return to Buenos Aires.

I'll be posting about my three days in Montevideo (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) in a separate report.

Thanks for the reports.

Day 5: Wednesday

The ferry from Uruguay pulled into Buenos Aires on Wednesday in the late afternoon. Rather than cabbing back, I decided to walk to the metro station with my luggage, the cambio I had been using was on the way. As I posted in the discussion sections, I found ATMs in Uruguay that dispensed American dollars, so I had pulled out extra money to cover my last day and a half in Buenos Aires and save myself some money on the currency exchanges. I changed a couple hundreds to pesos and split the last hundred into two 50s. I thought one of the 50s felt a little strange but everything else on the bill checked out so I thought it was ok.

The bus/ferry/walking combination took a bit out of me, so I rested the rest of the day and didn't get out until well into the evening.

I had mapped out some places that had been posted about in the past on this site and another and spent part of the night seeing if those places were still around.

My first stop was to Eden at Talcahuano 360. There was nothing there except a chained up black door next to a cheap looking hotel on a dark street in a rough looking area. I made sure to keep my wits about me.

The next stop was a hike but I eventually arrived to where Anabell's was supposed to be at Riobamba 374. On the other site the address was listed as Riobamba 364. When I got there, the numbers skipped over 364. There was something at 374, but it looked like a residential complex.

The Recoleta places were very far, so I hailed a cab at this point. While in the cab I decided to stop in at Madonnas first, so I had the driver drop me off near Cordoba and Puerrydon. The ride was 30 pesos.

I paid the 190 peso cover and walked in. I had been in there years before, but I didn't recognize how it looked past the lobby. The layout seemed different, but I'm not entirely sure if it had changed or if it's just my memory. I got my drink and took a seat near the back.

There were about 10 ladies available and a few guys scattered throughout the place. Most of the ladies had decent faces, but they all seemed to be a little heavier. One of the more attractive brunettes was fully engrossed in a conversation and the most attractive blond looked too serious. None of the ladies seemed to care that a potential customer entered the bar. An older guy took out the blond while I was finishing my second beer. I left after that and probably won't be back anytime soon.

I was a bit peckish so I stopped at a pizza chain called Kentucky on my walk to Recoleta. One of the most annoying things about BA restaurants is that a lot of them use these horrible napkins that are like tiny pieces of wax paper. I regretted grabbing the pizza to go as cleaning my hands and face afterwards was very ineffective even with the extra napkins I grabbed. I actually had to use my clothes to get the last of the oil off my hands.

In Recoleta, my first place to check was a freelance bar called Checkers at Puerrydon 2401. I had walked by years ago but never walked in. As I suspected, the place is long gone and the space is now home to a coffee shop.

I wanted to check out Toreto and Hellas, but decided to check the lineup at Sodoma first. I paid 150 pesos cover for one drink, having no intention of a session there, then I walked in.

I knew immediately that I was going to have a hard time not taking one of the Sodoma ladies. Right off the bat, I saw two ladies that rivaled Cielo from Hook, and they looked very hungry for me.

Soon after sitting down, one of the prettiest ladies approached. Her name was Bianca and she was from Santo Domingo. I'm usually not as attracted to the darker ladies, but Bianca looked amazing. I bought her a drink for 200 pesos. While we talked she was incredibly seductive, but I balked at her $200 US quote. She played it off well and came down to half that in dollars or pesos. Bianca had me worked up, so I couldn't pass on the offer.

We walked down the street to the transitorio near where Playwoman used to be and there I encountered the first problem. While they had rooms listed for 175 pesos, the person working the desk said they were all busy. I had my doubts with Madahos and the other clubs closed now, but I didn't have too much of a choice. I ended up paying for the more expensive 230 peso room.

Photos: Bianca - Sodoma 12 13 14

Bianca went through a weird transformation in the light of the room. She was still attractive, but not nearly the 10 she appeared to be in the club. A downgrade in better lighting is common, but this was very pronounced. The skin on her back also had a strange complexion and I think she had some stuff on there to make it look even better than it actually was. She left her top on which was an unusual thing and a hobbile sign, but I was too concerned about police issues to call the session off. I also considered the top was hiding even worse problems with her skin.

Bianca was friendly throughout and didn't seem intentionally bad, but her services were very poor. Given the other issues I couldn't get into the session enough to finish. Eventually I just stopped and said it wasn't her but I was too drunk to continue, although it was her.

I had left some pesos in my room and used a bunch to pay for cover and drinks, so I went to use the 50s I had to pay her. She didn't like the feel of one of them, the same one I was initially concerned about, so she spent a good amount of time checking it out. She eventually said it's probably ok, but she took it out again downstairs and had the person behind the counter check it out. That person said it was fake. When I asked how she could tell, she said they had a machine back there. I put the bill back in a compartment in my wallet with the intention of returning to the cambio the next day. Fortunately, I still had enough to pay Bianca in smaller bills.

With all the money issues and the poor session, I couldn't see myself getting relaxed enough to enjoy myself anywhere else, so I just grabbed a cab back to the hostel.

Day 6: Thursday

I had to leave by around 5pm for the airport, so there wasn't going to be any club hopping for the day. My plan was to visit at least one of the ladies on Bairesgirls.net. I had also gone through Platynum and Gemidos, and briefly consulted Escorts-Argentina, EscortsBaires, Tacos Altos, Area VIP, and Instintos, but since I was focused mostly on clubs this trip. I didn't spend as much time on the other sites.

At the time of the trip, there seemed to be a lot more blurred and blocked faces. Looking at the sites now, they seem to have returned to normal. It's possible there had been some sort of political pressure or the ladies are more inclined to show their faces again due to lack of clients or something else entirely, I don't know. I mention that because the my top choices were picked in large part because I could see what their faces "supposedly" looked like. I say that because extreme Photoshop and bait-and-switch are common problems with the escorts.

These were my top choices, photos taken from their profiles: Lunita, Geisha, Federica, and Jazmin.



Lunita was my first choice. I thought she was gorgeous and based on another site, if I had the right lady, was reviewed well. I forgot to mention this, but I tried to reach her a couple times on Wednesday but the call never went through. I tried again today, but still no luck.

My next choice was Geisha. It looked like she could be overweight, but I really liked her face. The call went through and I was told to come to the fourth floor of Libertad 374. When I arrived, I told them I was there to see Geisha, but that I'd go ahead and look at the lineup. The lady that was supposed to be Geisha was older and ugly and didn't look one bit like the photos, save for having dark hair. The rest of the lineup wasn't very good, but a lady calling herself Macarena wasn't too bad. The price was very inexpensive at 200 pesos for half an hour, so I decided to give her a spin. She was fairly attractive, but too large for my tastes once the robe came off. I had a little fun with her since I paid, but I didn't waste a load on her. Her midsection looked bad so I don't think I could have came even if I wanted to.

My pictures of Macarena did not come out well, she looked better in person.

Photos: Macarena - Bairesgirls.net 15 16

I later found Macarena's profile on Bairesgirls by searching profiles with the same phone number as Geisha. She was listed as Andre. The ladies often advertise on a bunch of sites and often use different names on each and sometimes even advertise on the same site under different names. She's no longer on Bairesgirls, at least that I could find, but now she's using the name Mayra on Gemidos. Here are two of her photos, the first from shortly after the trip and the second more recent as Mayra. She looks really good in the newer pictures.



That searching for the numbers trick is a good tip and reminds me of the other reason Geisha was a top choice, it looked like the place had at least one good alternative (based on the pictures) if Geisha turned out to be unappealing.

I then called to meet up with Federica. It took me a while to get there because there was a mix up in the address, but I eventually got to the correct address of 1667 Corrientes. I recognized the address when I got there, I had been there a couple times in the past. I did the same lineup viewing and was again disappointed by the lady they said was Federica. I wasn't attracted to any of the others and was preparing to leave when the last lady entered.

Liz looked incredible! She looked like she could be a little older, but her body was amazing, especially her legs! My pricing options were 300 pesos for half or 400 pesos for a full hour. I went with the hour.

Liz was shy about her body and reluctant to take off her top, but her service was amazing. As I got a better look at her, I saw her teeth were a little messed up, but I still thought she looked gorgeous. Unfortunately, the pictures do no justice to her at all.

Photos: Liz - Bairesgirls.net 17 18 19

Doing the phone number search again, I found a profile under Lis that looked like Liz's body, but the face was blurred. I think it was her since the phone number matched. I was just bummed that I wouldn't have a good face picture of Liz. Here's my favorite picture of her legs, they actually looked like this.



I had hoped to take some time to see if Cielo Private was still closed as had been reported on another site, but I ran out of time and didn't get around to it. I still had a few errands to run, so I headed back to the hostel. It turned out to be a good thing, because even with heading back earlier than I thought I needed to, I came very close to missing my ride, but I got there on time and the trip back went smoothly.

Oh...one last thing since getting back. I recently brought a US $10 that I was fairly confident was fake to my bank for testing. I had received it in Buenos Aires on a past trip, but didn't notice until too late that it felt very wrong and didn't have some of the security features of genuine bills, although it was an older bill. It turned out to be real.

Still, be careful with money in Argentina. If you are suspicious about change, ask for alternative bills.

Good money advice.

Cielo is banging!!!!

Great report. I love the way you make links of the places you mention.

Contrary to what, it seems, most that have been to it think, I have always liked Madonna Night Club. Last time I was there was April of '11. Had a GREAT time with a fake blond that called herself Romina. Visited her four out of the five nights I was in BA. I'd have done all five but it was closed on Sunday.

The thing about Madonna is that, before 11:30 or midnight, it's usually dead dead dead. I have often been the only customer in the place when I've gotten there early.

I always sit near the ladies room because ALL of the girls visit it frequently. The lighting is good there and you can easily check them out as they walk by. All you need is one hottie and, in my experience, there's always at least one or two - plus a few quite decent lookers.

To each his own but if ever I make it back to BA and it's open, I'm there.

Worst city in SA for mongeringl. Hands down.
