DAILY REPORTING

I started this live report format my first day after being blown away at Centaurus by Rejane, my first Rio session. It was so intense and unique, and she was so hot, I wanted to write down exactly what happened so I wouldn’t forget. So that afternoon I opened my laptop and tried to write down the exact details of what happened so I could relive how incredible it was. I added in other details of getting there and how I spent my day, and I had actually written most of the Day #1 report before I left for my evening Terma, Solarium. When I got back and wrote those experiences down, I figured why not go ahead and do a report to act as my diary. I can type pretty fast and I was able to write these reports in about an hour or so, and I would usually write them piecemeal throughout the day. The morning of Day 2, I had all of Day #1 complete and I had the photos downloaded to my laptop. I was checking the site, and I figured why not go ahead and submit them to Hombre and we could do a series? I have to give a big thanks to Hombre for having a board to make it possible, and for putting together the reports and submitting them in a series which was totally unplanned. Everything written is as I experienced it in real time and I think it adds to the report.

After a few days in Rio and I began to understand the overwhelming quantity and quality of garotas, I wanted the report and photos to try to capture what the actual experience is like and how it differs from other locations. I know my report was too explicit for some, but it was intended to chronicle exactly what happened, not to show off. Those of you who have visited Rio know that sessions like this are common, but others likely won’t believe it, but it is all true. I had read all the reports and threads on Rio, but I did not understand the quality and quantity of women in Rio and the specificity of my report with the photos was designed for people to understand how great it really is. You have to make your own judgments as to where the “best” location for you is, but I think my reports and photos make a great case for Rio as the #1 location in the world for the single male. I know there is cheaper elsewhere, but after Rio, I really don’t think there could be higher quality anywhere. I’ve hobbied in Spain, England, Canada, US, Mexico, and a lot in Costa Rica, and none are anywhere close to Rio in my opinion. I’m not dogging other locations, but it’s just that Rio is so much better to me.

I didn’t count how many garotas I had, but every single session was a great experience and I had no duds. I got a BBBJ all but once or twice, always FS, always kissing-usually DFK, and more than that always enthusiastic sessions where the woman feels responsible not just for having sex, but for really getting you off. My Rio sessions are without a doubt the most physical and energetic sessions I’ve had. I often remember thinking I felt more like I was in a porno than in a session.

RIO FOR SPANISH SPEAKERS

I’m fluent in Spanish, and I found Portuguese fairly easy to understand and I found I could communicate easily with respect to basic things such as directions, ordering, shopping, etc. Let me define what I would consider fluent-If you turn on a Spanish station, turn you back to the screen, and understand perfectly what’s on and what’s happening, then you’re fluent. Otherwise, you’re probably not. I often had to ask what something meant or ask someone to repeat things in Portuguese, but you just have to learn the basic vocabulary differences and more importantly the big differences in pronunciation. After this it was easy and I talked with the garotas all the time. I think it helped in getting photos and in quality of my sessions too. I obviously understood better than I spoke, but that’s to be expected. I also bought an 8 hr beginner Pimsleur course for $20 and this helped me a lot with pronunciation.

RIO COMPARED TO COSTA RICA

I had promised some Costa Rica vets to make a direct comparison, but it really isn’t possible to do it. Downtown San Jose is more like a small town really and is not very large. There are several surrounding neighborhoods, but most times hombres are going to stay downtown and do side trips and go to the beach. I know there are exceptions and people do stay places like Escazu or Heredia, but most people only stay downtown. Rio is enormous. Most guys stay in Copacabana which is a suburb of Rio right on the beach. I can’t say for sure, but it appeared there was more capital investment in Copacabana alone than in downtown San Jose. Then you have surrounding areas of Ipanema, Leblon, and others, as well as downtown Rio which is huge. That’s not even counting the suburbs. I think the Rio population is like 7 million compared with under 4 million in all of Costa Rica (about 400,000 in San Jose), so there are a ton more women in just in Rio to draw from, not to mention the rest of Brasil. This leads to a pool of many more, better looking women in my opinion. Rio is also much older than San Jose and has had a lot longer to be established and grow.

I also thought Copacabana was cleaner than San Jose. They had crews cleaning and hauling trash every day. Copa reminds me of a European city actually. I have no doubt though that 5 minutes outside the city limits there are slums worse than could be found in all of Costa Rica, but they know to keep the areas you will be nice. The street signs are also clearly marked, so it’s much easier to figure out where you’re going. Downtown San Jose is not as pretty and as everybody knows, few streets are marked.

These differences in the city make a direct comparison difficult. It would be easier to compare Rio to a larger city.

As for the women, Rio would win hands down. The hottest chica you could find any night at the Blue Marin would be average in a Terma. The cost would also be less in a terma right now, and she would probably have a much better attitude, allow DFK, BBBJ, and be very passionate about fucking you. I always loved IDEM and spent a lot of time there, but the average Terma garota is vastly superior in looks and service, and on any given night you might only have 20 available at any time in IDEM or EROS. Terma sizes vary, but a place like Solarium might have double or triple that, and there are a lot more Termas, so the pool of garotas is much greater. And that’s just the Termas-there are several other options-the beach, beach restaurants, clubs, Help, and on and on.

So I have to take Rio over Costa Rica. Again, I’m not trashing Costa Rica, but I have to be honest and Rio wins in a landslide.

TOUR GUIDES

I’m the kind of guy that usually doesn’t go the guide route. I like to research and plan my own vacation. At the end of my trip, though, I ran into a number of guys who didn’t speak Portuguese and had no idea where any action was. I’m not trying to plug any specific guide, but I did meet Don from Riotrips and I saw him personally help a lot of guys who needed it. He has about 50 garotas numbers on his phone and can have a garota for you anytime usually within an hour. At lunch my last day, he had a Terma 4x4 garota delivered for a client for a personal session in about 30 minutes. If you want high class, he can do that-if you want degenerate stuff, he knows where that is too. He knows all the ins and outs, so if you are somebody who wants to go, but are afraid you’ll be overwhelmed, I would recommend him to you. I don’t know about his rates, you’ll have to check out his site which is posted somewhere on clubhombre.com.

HOTEL DEBRET

As I posted on my last day, $52/night total for a 2 side open air view of Copacabana beach. They’ve got cheaper rooms and suites are available too. Service was excellent and I never felt my belongings were not secure in my room. You also might look into an apartment as well if you like a lot of space with a kitchen. Don at Riotrips or another guide can set you up easily.

SAFETY

I walked all over Copacabana at night up to 3 am and I never felt in danger. They’ve got a lot of police there now and I felt safe walking at night around the beach area. Overall I felt much safer that in San Jose where you wouldn’t walk far at night, if at all. Copacabana is much better lit too.

I know I may have been stupid to walk around like I did, but it just felt safe to me.

DISADVANTAGES TO RIO

There are some clear downsides to Rio…

1) It’s been said, but don’t go if you can’t go back. You’ll die if you can’t set some timeframe for returning.

2) I would avoid going if you are married or involved and interested in keeping your relationship together. The garotas will pretty much kill any interest you have left in American women. I haven’t dated much in the last few years, but now I don’t know if I’ll be able to at all.

3) The pussy is so good in Rio, it sets an unrealistic standard. I think anywhere else in the world will be a letdown for me now.

4) Traffic sucks in Copacabana and Rio. Next time I’m figuring out the buses or subway-it has to be quicker.

5) I probably turned down 40-50 gorgeous women because they had some minor imperfection I didn’t like. I cry when I think about the great sessions among those I probably turned down because I wanted a 9 or 10 instead of an 8.5.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I want to thank all the hombres personally who posted on Rio and inspired me to go. There are too many to mention all of them, but Athos, Bluestraveller, Youngtom, D’artagnan, GCL, and many others are the reason I decided to go and I can’t thank you enough. This has been without a doubt the best vacation I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t know when I’ll be back, but I will have to return. I’ve enjoyed writing the reports and I hope they help other hombres. PLEASE DO NOT DISCUSS THE PHOTOS OR REPORTS WITH THE GAROTAS. If you do you jeopardize future photos and reports which hurts everybody’s experience.

It’s been a great ride. I’m just sorry it has to end.

HOMBRECITO1, Job well done!!!!! I to love the termas no were else in the WORLD a person could have that many girls to pick from, even the NETHERLANDS with all the many window girls to pick from but, the downside is you would be lucky if you get 15min-20min with them, but in RIO for the same price or less you get 40min-1hour and some cases ALL NIGHT, RIO just can't be bet.
KidCisco

HC1 everything you just stated in your disadvantages of Rio is 100% correct.My one trip to Rio really changed my outlook on women in America and marriage.Although my experience was not as great as yours ,but it was great and it could have been a lot better had I known what I know now from all these websites and post like yours. Upon my return to the U.S I was in withdrawal mode and ready to go back to Rio.Although I'm recovering now, after reading your post and seeing your pics I have been having withdrawals again.

My only prior mongering experience had been TJ so I can't speak about the other places,But Rio definitely (IMHO)blows TJ out of the water. The only reason I would continue to go to TJ now would be it's proximaty to So Cal.Anyways sorry to ramble on and spread any negativity (TJ fans) just had to get that out..lol.

Great report HC1 and get some rest, I know how it feels to return from that paradise.Glad to have a good writer like yourself describe what a great
experience Rio is and how awesome the garotas are.

Counting the days for my return hopefully next month....out.

HC1: Thank You for the absolutely infomative and well organized reports on your Rio experience. Very impressed that will all the goings on, you still had the wherewithall to report on a daily basis.

I am glad you mentioned that others would probably say that Rio may be over hyped, but based your report I think all that has been said is indeed right on point.

Again, thank you - my Rio trip was unfortunately cancelled due to job situation but trying to re plan in november.

Two quick questions:

1. Seems if you only stuck to Termas - did you at all venture into Help?

2. Great pictures-what type of digicam did you use.

Can't wait to get there.

HC1
This was an amazing run. Thanks for spending the time and effort to put trip report together.

Crafter,

I did help once and didn't like it-too many hags and two few stunners. I'ts day 2 or 3 of the report. I will say GCL and Youngtom reported a lot more talent when they went a few days ago.

I used a cheapo Fuji $150 camera set on automatic.

HC1

thanks hc1 - given the quality of the pictures i thought you were using something more expensive and higher end - am going to check out that camera as have a combined digicam and minidv recorder that is probably too big to take into terma.

thanks again and hope you are recovering well.

HC1,
I absolutly agree with you. You go to Rio and then you see life and women differently than before. Rio has the power to change your life up to some extend. The Rio trip is not like any other trip. Once you have been to Rio you want to go back. Again and again. Is everybody ready for that?
Thank you HCI for your detailed and pittoresque report which gives a good sense of the vibe. And a special thanks also to all the garotas of Rio and Brasil for being as they are (from the 4s to the 10s+). There is no day they are not in my thoughts since I acknowledged that they keep me rollin'.

HC1, Great job on the reports.It's been really fun following your exploits thru first time eyes.Reminds me of my trip there over New Years. Although I agree with most of your final thoughts the only one I disagree with is that it will spoil anywhere you might go.I went there and I leave in 3 days for a 2 week trip to Thailand for my 3rd trip there.I agree Brazlian women are more beautiful,but theres just something about Thailand and the women there that I just had to go back to.Like a sirens call or something.I very well may make it back to Rio but there are also other places for me.

HC1,

It was fun bumping into you at Solarium. From the little bit that I have had time to read it sounds like you had a great trip. Glad to hear it.

hasta pronto,
G

Gitano,

It was great meeting you too. I enjoyed it and maybe we'll run into each other again down there. You never know.

HC1

Thanks for the posts HC1, I've read every one and they've been great...

Hombrecito,

Eres el mas Chingon!!!! Good job !!!! You have my vote for the best trip report of the year. Full of good information and with enough Gratuitous sex details to make all of us perverts happy.

And Kudos on the photos too. Fanfuckintastic

HC1,

thanks for the report.....now I got to make a space in my life to travel to Rio.....

no wonder your Paisas from SJO didn't want you to go there!

Pura Vida!

Your posts have inspired and convinced me of a trip to Rio. I will watch the election and fly down in November/early December. I will be bringing three (possibly four) friends who also want to experience decadence (I speak Brazilian Portuguese and have been to Rio and Sao Paulo - I needed your posts to kick me in the pants - it has been 3 years now). So if any of you guys are down there the end of November/beginning of December and see 4 or 5 out of control gringos (I am 6'5")- just yell "Hey Wanderer!" and I'll buy you a Caiprainha.

Thanks for the posts!

P.S. Can Don handle multiple apartments in the same building?

HC1, wanted to chime in with the Kudos. Your piece was very very well written and the thoroughness of your observations must be commended. Your report inspires me to check out Rio. I hope to be making my first trip out there soon. Merlin

Wandererinphx,

You speak Brazilian Portuguese and haven't been in 3 years? If you can speak Portuguese, you've got it made.

HC1

Billcink,

I figured I would have had more posts from people regarding Thailand. I've never been, but I'm generally not that attacted to the thin, small breasted asian type. I also love latinas more than anything and the Brasileras are like latinas on speed. Another thing for me is the distance being in the East and the language problem. I think there are lots of people who might prefer Thailand for the reasons I prefer Rio, but for me it has to be Rio.

HC1

HC-

I too applaude your reports and Pics. Well done. I will be in Sao Paulo next week and making a weekend visit to Rio to meet up with DG and the gang. We will be thinking about you....(Yeah right).

HC1 I understand how you feel.To each their own.One thing though believe it or not english is more widely spoken in Thailand than Brazil.I guess it isn't that much of a factor with you being fluent in spanish the sister language there,but for me it's easier in Thailand.The kids there have to have I think 3 years of it in school.In Brazilian schools it's optional.

Sandman, I will be in Rio with Deeg and am looking forward to meeting you. Since I will be there ahead of you, I will resist doing all the girls--that way at least a few might still be tight.

Sandman,

It's KILLING me that you GCL, DG, BT and the gang will all be there next week. I won't give GCL my number because he'll call me from his cell as he's walking into 4x4 at 2 pm just to rub it in. I'm desperately trying to work in a trip around Thanksgiving.

Have a great time,

HC1

HC1, I am appalled you would suggest I might call you on my way into 4 x 4. I would never do such a thing.

I would wait until I had Rebecca up in a cabine, had achieved penetration and would call you then so you could hear her moan.

GCL,

LMAO. I think that I would do another double with Rebecca and Shayla in honor of Hombrecito1.

Hombrecito,

Thanks for all the surveillance work in preparation for our journey. It seems like the coast is clear.

BT

You guys suck!

GCL- I am afraid I have to ask for firsts on her please...you have been living down there for a couple of months it seems while I am stuck up here...I have not gotten to see her since July and she is part of anti black widow venom!!! and you dont need that...

Auuugghhh! We're leaving 2 days earlier to get there before BT and all the rest of you bastards soil our women.

GCL has promised to walk Rebecca down the aisle and give me her hand next Wednesday. I want her to have my Rio Cherry.

I'll be wearing white for the ceremony.

Well I'm leaving tomorrow and this Bastard will try and soil as many women as I can before you guys get there. HC if I had your phone number I would have Rebecca call you from the cabine but that would be difficult with her mouth full. Sorry HC I didn't mean to say that. DG will you allow me to kiss the bride (DATY) AGAIN. Everyone have a safe and fun trip. Hemp

lol...I'm trying to get back by the end of January at the latest...by then, all the girls I met this trip will no doubt be damaged beyond repair...I'm hoping for a brand new bumper crop that I can test drive before you guys can plan your 18th trips, lol...

HEY DOOD..watch this CB...Sorry Dongringo you guys are forcing me to call her before I get there to buy her out before she gets to 4x4...

I'll go test drive her tomorrow and let you know how she is..

not afraid of you as they really are not real...you hate that!!! ...I thought you would be proud of the fine cockblocking I was/am going to do...guess I have more to learn from the master...you going to have time!?

I'm already starting to plan my trip back to Rio AFTER my trip next week. I think I will return sometime in November.

As true mongers, our mission is to find NEW Brazilian bundas instead of recycling the tried and true. Ah yes, the adventure officially begins.

See everyone down there. We, all, ROCK.

BT

Actually.. there will be no cockblocking..

I'm on lockdown.

so it aint so..not super babe???

Nope.. someone else.. You'll meet her when you get here.. Rexx met her

oh man, if it's who i think it is, i am SOOO telling, lol...one guess, short hair?

you win

and he knows.

Hmmmmm...have I met her yet??? hell you fell in love 3 times while I was there in July..hard to tell..I do remember your fav from Solarium...


well then I have to admit..rebeccas are real then...

you havent met her.. yet :-)

you wont find her in a terma either...

Did she quit L'uomo?

She only worked there 4 days a month ago,she got TV job.

I didn't hook up with her until 2 weeks ago,

Dood,

I've heard there are several diamonds in the rough at 4x4 that only work once or a few days a month. I also heard a rumor that the garota I asked you about wasn't at 4x4, but that you might have been keeping her for yourself on the side. So now you've got another one? When are you gonna open you're own Terma and share the wealth?

HC1

Hey Hombrecito I enjoyed reading your well-written report. So, I have a question for you. I'm fluent in Spanish and have plans to visit South America in a few months. With that in mind, (let's say around March), if you had to choose between a visit Colombia or Brazil which one would you pick? Maybe I should take some of Milky's Caliente money and do both ha? Gracias compadre.

-Jarocho

Jarocho,

Are you a native speaker or have you leared Spanish in school? If you can speak and understand Spanish the same as English, I would say you would get by great in Brazil with a little bit of study. The problem is that a lot of guys consider themselves "fluent" if they've had 3 yrs in high school and can speak a few sentences. I encourange anybody to try to speak the language, but being fluent requires either many years of study and complete immersion in the language for a long time, or either being born speaking that language.

The reason I specify this is because if you can understand spoken Spanish as easily as English, you should be able to understand say 50-75% of what is said in Portuguese. You would have to spend a few days studying the major pronunciation differences which are big, but are easy to learn. I also leared about 10-15 major verbs and conjugations and about 50 differences in vocabulary. By no means am I fluent in Portuguese, but I can understand it and I can ask people what something means if I don't.

Someone who is not fluent in Spanish will have a harder time. Even though a lot of the words are the same, I noticed most Hombres couldn't follow conversation at normal speed in Portuguese.

I've never been to Colombia, so I can't comment on it. I've dated a Colombiana and been with several chicas from Bogota, Medellin, and Cali in Costa Rica and I will say the overall quality of the Colombianas was high. I got a GFE from all but one or two and they are passionate. Since I just got back from Brazil, I can't give you an unbiased opinion, but Brazil (in low season) had the best mongering I've ever seen and second place wasn't even close. You can't go wrong with Brazil. I had the same concerns regarding Portuguese and it was the reason I didn't go sooner, but if you are really fluent, you should get along fine. Check out the Portuguese threads and get a basic Brazilian Portuguese course to learn the basics of pronunciation.

HC1

Si, hablo mejor el Español que el Ingles (eso creo). Asi que espero llevarme bien con las garotas. Gracias por tu reporte.

-Jarocho

Jarocho,

You'll do fine then. Just do some research on the termas-print out the maps of where they are and the addresses. Also figure out where Help and the Lido clubs are. I'd spend a day or two learning the Rio screwed up pronunciations (example dia is pronounced dgEEEa and the r is not pronouced to start a word, so Rio is "hee oh" and real is "hey ow", reais is "hey ice". There are other differences to you have to listen for, but the sentence structure is the same, so if you have a point of reference as to what is discussed, you can generally follow a conversation.

Have a great time.

HC1

First off, congratulations dude...she is an absolute cutie and reminds me of the chickies I like in "real life"...secondly, glad he knows (I was getting worried about some soap opera drama on the horizon...lol)...third, if and when you decide you're not into her, I want to be re-introduced, lol...

HC1.. I somehow missed your question up there.

As far a "Garotas on the side", nao tenho. Sao uma. I asked about Mona when I was there a few weeks ago and they told me she doesn't work there anymore.

Rexx.. She's off the market

She makes Camilla seem like an ice queen.

Dood,

I asked some garotas about Mona at 4x4 and they told me the same thing. I was told maybe you pigeonholed her and I was kind of hoping you had so I could try her next trip. She was at the top of my "to do" list.

HC1

She's been at the top of my to do list since I did her..

problem 1: she only worked fridays.

Problem 2: The second time I saw her there she was on her way upstairs with a guy and it was getting crowded so I had to get out of there.

Oh well.. there are worse problems to have here

HC1.....I truly enjoyed your report. I will venture into Rio in Nov. for the first time since Aug. 1981. I know it will be a "culture shock" for me. I can't wait!!! Any suggestions???

Sbronx77,

21 years since you've been to Rio. That's too long man.

It is a huge culture shock when you see all the gorgeous garotas but it's the attitude and session quality that makes me long to go back. I'm in the same boat too-I'm waiting a couple months before I can return. No way around it I can tell.


HC1

I see most of my activities will at the termas. I don't remember them when I was Rio last time. What I'm trying to do now is get physically and mentally prepared for the trip back to Rio. Don't want to hit the wall too soon. Question...how good are the escort services? [Company Girl, Hotside, etc.] I've seen them online, but I hear it's hit or miss. Anyway, I plan to "ease" into the experience, but I know this is "The Big Leagues", and I got to be ready to rumble!!! [smiles]

HC1....to add to my previous post....I see you went during low season. [winter/spring] My trip will be in Nov. My guess is it's the beginning of summer in Rio, and the talent will be that much more than when you were there. Is that right??? If so, I have to be cool, and not jump at the first garota is see. Just trying to be mentally prepared. Sbronx77

Sbronx77,

I never tried an escort service. See Athos's 2 reports for some info on them.

I have no idea if the talent will be better in November. I hear it may be, but even if it's the same, I'll have a blast.

HC1

My impression is that the escort services in Brazil are too hit and miss to really bother with. Since some termas open early, I would just stick to those. Athos does include some escort reviews and photos in his report, though, so you should probably check it if you are still considering that route.

d'Artagnan I agree with you completely. I returned from Rio today and see no reason for the need of an escort service since the termas are there. You can generally get the Terma girls to your hotel for the night as I did. Hemp

To all: I just read Wilmaflint's Rio trip report. In it he speaks of the RTF [Rio Tourist Fuck]. Has anyone experienced that? Seems if you answer the right questions, your experience will be much better. I just want to be smooth in my approach to these termas. I KNOW it's gonna be difficult to stay steady, but to me, the fun part. It's all about control. [easy for me to say]

Great report Hombrecito. I just started reading some of these Rio reports since I'll be there for New Year's Eve. You seemed to have good luck. I have also heard from other guys like Sakebomb that seemed to be disappointed by Rio.

Just a few quick questions. I didn't notice too many prices in your report. I just read some dude (I think Wingman's) post about the price being $180 US for entry for 40 minutes in a room with a girl. That can't be right is it? If so, that doesn't seem to be a good deal to me??

Can you tell me the average price you paid at each terma. I apologize if you posted and I missed it. I printed out your entire report and was reading it on my way to/from the office in rush hour traffic.

The other thing I think contributed to your good luck was that you speak fluent Spanish and studied Portuguese before you left. Also, I think I was reading where some guy posted you were a younger, good looking dude. I don't care what anyone says...that makes a big difference. If a girl is attracted to a guy you can bet you are more likely to get a better session.

I know I'll hit the thermas but for the "therma rookies" out there is it just me or do you think you won't be as much into them. If I'm reading correctly, for the most part you're in a room with guys in robes, you see girls that might have just gotten finished with another guy, or even if they didn't....there is a good chance you'll see her making out with some guy (who may or may not be a slob). I might be totally wrong but doesn't this ruin the mood at all for anyone? Again, I've never been to Rio so I'd like any insight into this by guys that might have felt the same way before going to a therma.

I'm not naive. I know that most escorts see several guys a guy but at least I have the fantasy to imagine I'm the only one for that day. I'm not sure my imagination would be as strong if I paw some guy with his "paws" all over some girl that I wanted to go in a room with...LOL.

Hopefully no one takes offense to this post. I'm just very curious if my take on the thermas is correct. Thanks in advance.

Sbronx77,

I read about the RTF before going too, but I never had one. I’m sure it exists and sooner or later it will happen. I think speaking in Portuguese and sweet talking the garota before helps a lot. I have a little interview where I ask the garotas where they’re from, age, kids, etc..then I assess their attitude. I’ve always done this with all Latinas, but in Rio most of the time the garota would be sucking your tongue after 5 minutes, so it takes a lot of the guesswork out of it. Eventually I’m sure I’ll get a RTF.

Godfather,

I’m not offended by your post, I’m outraged! Just kidding. I wanted to thank you for your report on B.A. and the great photos you took. I’m hoping to do B.A. as a side trip next year at some point.

The Terma costs vary, but the prices you’re quoting are in Reais, not dollars, so the
180 R would be $53 today or about $60 if the Real is around 3/$1 where it will probably be next few months (hopefully). I don’t have exact costs for the Termas with me, but I remember Centaurus is 290 R which is about $85-95 depending on your exchange rate. All other Termas I know of are about ½ price, ranging from 150-200 R. Expect to pay more for a dupla or 2 back to back sessions, but you sometimes get a discount if you do two back to back. For example, at Solarium, my total bill was 312 R for two 40 min sessions and a few drinks. The first session was 180 R and the second was discounted to 120 R or something like that. Any way you look at it, the Termas are a great value right now.

I think the idea the Terma garotas are high volume and dirty is the biggest misconception I’ve heard about Rio. Every garota I was with was with in a Terma was exceptionally clean, more than any other location I’ve been, including Mexico, Costa Rica, Canada, & Europe. They also aren’t going upstairs every 30 minutes like some places-some days they don’t do any guys. My last visit with Carol at Solarium, we talked about this and she said that the day before, she had no guys and most days her goal was to get 1 or 2. In fact, the most she had any one day was 2, but she had only been there a few weeks. I think hanging out in robes looking at beautiful women actually helps the mood, because it’s so different. There is also a big advantage, because you can sit back, relax and see the garota you’ll be getting in a bikini, so there are no let downs with fake tits, droopy tits, sagging asses or other surprises when you hit the room. I’ve never been to B.A., but to think that the chicas there are cleaner or haven’t been kissing and fucking other guys, or you’re the only one, is absurd. I’d bet some are more high volume than Terma garotas.

Speaking Portuguese can only help you. I think it was a factor in some of the great sessions I had, but I also saw a lot of other Gringos who spoke no Portuguese have great sessions too. Where the language thing probably helped the most was that the garotas are not used to guys complimenting them and being romantic in Portuguese. Brazilian guys are rude, and usually the only thing they’ll tell a garota is “Bend over” or “On your knees”.

As to me being young and handsome, that was a joke. I’m mid-30’s, so that’s young to some, but I don’t consider myself very attractive and I’m probably 40 lbs overweight. GCL, Rexxx and a few other guys can confirm this. I hope to loose weight and get in shape for my next trip to be able to handle the physical sessions better, but I don’t think it will make a huge difference to the garotas.

You should definitely visit Rio. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Hombrecito,

Thanks again. You answered a lot of my questions. I'm really gonna try to tap into the escort scene too in Rio. Hopefully I can provide some good Live reports during my 15 day trip throughout Buenos Aires, Mar Del Plata, and Rio.

The price value definitely seems to be there. After reading your report, I'm preparing myself both financially, mentally and physically for the challenge. LOL!! I'm shopping for a new digital camera. The Canon Powershot S110 Digital ELPH looks very, very nice. Small and lightweight. I have a Canon Elf regular camera that takes great pictures. I guess I'll use both.

I'd consider "mid-30's" to be young. I'm gonna hit 30 this year (yikes) and plan to blow this year out with a bang. I'm in good shape but I'm gonna start working out more, taking vitamins, and just prepare myself for my task at hand.

Your report was excellent!! Looks like you can also type fast which helps with "Live reports". I agree with you. I've found if you type fast, the Live reports helps because you can remember things a lot easier and it serves as a sort of "Dear Diary" for your memories later.

After reading your entire report, I'm seriously thinking about just taking another 2 weeks off after my 15 day trip and staying in Brazil and hitting more of Rio, Sao Paulo, Porto Allegre, and some other hot spots. Although I'm not sure how my company would like me taking a full month off right at the beginning of the year. Ha! Thanks again for your great report and wonderful photos.

I'm actually in the process of getting my company to transfer me down to their Rio office. Haven't written a report before, but I'll be sure to report in with a detailed one once I become um quase carioca. As you can imagine, I'm incredibly excited about what life will hold for me in Brazil over the next 3-5 years...especially while being paid with U.S. dollars...yikes.

Jarule - You are one lucky guy. If your company has any openings let me know. Hell I'll even sweep floors. Hemp

To all: Where can you find Viagra in Rio? What is the costs? And is it the real thing or fake? I plan to bring my own supply, but in case I run out, I need to place to re-up.

You can find it at any pharmacy in Rio, and it's over the counter. Expect to pay in the range of R$68-80 (US$19-22) for 4 50mg's. And yes, it's the real deal.

Godfather:
I've been to both Rio and BA. Although the (ambience?) is somewhat different, the chicas and garotas are both a blast....you'll enjoy yourself in Rio.

HC1: Your photos are the best. I understand from your previous threads, you use a Fuji A101. I'm not into digital cameras, but I'm gonna purchase this camera to take with me. Is the 64mg memory additional or is it included? How do I make prints out of the photos taken? I compared your photos to others on board, you seem to have the clarity. Also, just read BT's recent report. Did you run into Patricia at L Uomo? She's HOT!!

Sbronx77,

I don't make prints. I download the images to my laptop. The 64 mg card is extra. The amount of storage you need depends on how long your trip is, how many pics, and whether you'll have a laptop or some way to download images off of the flash card. On the Fuji, I was able to put over 100 1.2 megapixel images on my 64 mg card, but I never did usually-I would dowload the pics to my laptop after each photo shoot. I would recommend getting the 128 mg card-I'ts only slightly more expensive for double the storage space. Figure about 200 pics if you get the 128 mg card. That may be plenty if you don't plan on downloading the images, or you could get two 128 mg cards if you think you might take more than 200 shots. This way you wouldn't need a computer and could download the photos when you got home.

There are different ways to make prints. You can buy a color printer or download the images to a computer and send pics to online services that will send you prints (maybe not a good idea). I just keep them on my computer and have them backed up.

I may have seen Patricia, but I don't think so. I know I didn't talk to her because I'd have remembered her. Her voice is seductive. I'm probably going to have to avoid her...

HC1

HC1: I'm gonna look into getting the Fuji and all its options. I'm conventional with photos. I have a SLR Nikon 35mm, but I doubt if I could fit it in my robe. Plus, I would have a hard time developing the prints. [Photo Labs - The photos would cause a "riot"]. I don't know if I could download with my PC when I return home. Sooner or later, I'm gonna have to find out or find a way to look at the images. BTW, between Patricia and Carol, man, what a choice. But than again there are MANY CHOICES in Rio. All of this is bringing back memories of my last visit "ages ago". I can envision having a BLAST!!! It's gonna be hard returning to the States after partying with all the garotas. I KNOW it's not a pleasant feeling!!

Sbronx77,

You can view the photos on the display on the back of the camera. You can delete individual photos, but be careful because it's easy for your finger to slip and delete everything on the card.

I haven't heard any hombres mention seeing Carol at Solarium this past month. She could be gone or at another Terma.

If you are serious about a relationship with a woman here I would advise STRONGLY against going to Rio.

HC1

If they are just nudes, a photo lab will handle them. No questions, although I suspect they might keep copies for themselves.

Yes, if you have aspirations of a white picket fence existence, DO NOT GO TO RIO.

Guys: You got it all wrong. There is NO WAY I can have a serious "american" relationship and go to Rio. After that Brasilian experience, why go back to a bland "american" relationship. That's why when married men want to go to Rio and they ask their wives, their wives say NO. Once you've had a taste of Rio, life is never the same. You only live once, so why not live the Brasilian Experience!!!

I just have to say that this was a fantastic report. I've been very very focused on Thailand but after reading this and seeing your pics i think i'll check out Rio asap. Only problem is that i speak some Thai but no Portuguese.

Thanks for the report!!

Naut

Nautsirius-learn all the Portuguese you can. I found I got great service when I spoke to the garotas in Portuguese. Check the threads on Portuguese on the site. A lot of guys recommend Pimsleur. Definately take some sort of course and know the basics before you hit Rio. Good luck.

I have all the Pimsleurs, email me for more info, they work great. I have been listening to them in my car and have picked up a lot.

HC1: I finally bought that Fuji A101. Looking forward to takin' a bunch of photos. I got a 128MB card. Thanks for your suggestion.

With all the consulting advice on cameras, and things you do, I belive you should post 2000 pictures for all of us to see.

Of course you may have to extend your stay, and work to vital fluids a little harder to get that many pictures, but you will be famous on this board after posting the.

For advice on how to extend your stay, be sure to contact GCL-he's the expert on perpetually being in Rio.

Hombrecito "I'll second that" Hemp

You bastards. I swear, as god is my witness, one day I will get to Rio and shred my passport just so I cant board another plane. I will have nothing but time...time to make note of who all your girlfriends are. Then all I have to do is wait for you to leave...

that day wouldn't happen to be this coming FRIDAY by any chance would it?

It is still a mystery to me how GCL ever made his flight when he was in Rio in October.

We had a send-off party for him at Luomo. I believe his flight was at 10:30. He was still in session with a garota as of 9:00 pm. I had leave right after 9 pm because I had a dinner date with a garota.

GCL was trying his damndest to miss his flight for the second time! I guess he caved in finally since he had only R$12.00 in his bank account.

AC--the R$12.00 was really the key to my returning to the states. I now have it built back up to R$120.00 and am ready to return. Hell, I may go as early as this Friday.

GCL...send me your new e-mail. Enjoy Rio and warm em up for my arrival next month.

R$120. Damn, thats good for 2-3 weeks huh?

Sandman

GCL are you really heading to Rio again this Friday? You Dog! Do you plan on GLAZING anyone I know? Hemp

Hemp,
I want to glaze someone you know.
CG

Yeah CortoGringo I know. I hope you kiss her a lot because then I know "You've Been Close To Me"
YOU BASTARD. Hemp
