View Full Version : Reflections on BA (verses Rio)

After having visited the mongering destinations of the world, including the heaven of Rio several times, I had the itch to try a new place. The problem is Rio spoils you so much that it becomes difficult to find anything comparable.

Well, I am glad I visited BA. I found the women almost as hot. They have less of that uninhibitedness / raw character that brasilieras have, but only slightly so. BA is a more cultured city. Its virtually crime free.

On to some specific observations / incidents from my trip, in no particular order:

1. I think mongering in BA can be cheaper - you can get ugly privados girls starting 40 pesos (I have been told) you can get decent privados girls for 100 - 200 pesos, you can get a girl from one of the triangle clubs to go to your hotel with you for 200 - 300 pesos (including the cost of one drink for you and her, which is the minimum) you can get a Madahos girl to go home with you for 300 - 400 pesos (again, includes cost of 1 drink each) or a girl from Black for 400 - 500 pesos (including drink each, again) All in all, if you are planning to be here for 1-2 weeks and have limited time, not sure it'd work out much cheaper than Rio.

I *will* throw out a disclaimer that I'm not the best judge of price / value, because after having spent $1000 on ticket and $500 on a week's stay, I usually don't skimp on the $ I spend on chicas. That doesn't mean I will spend more than whats standard at any given club, but I will choose my places to monger such that I don't sacrifice the quality. For example, I almost never visit coffee shops unless I have no choice.

2. Sundays in BA are *very* slow for mongering. There were 3 old hags at Catto's and one at Hook. Excedra, Orleans and New Port were either deserted or only had dogs. Had I known this, I'd have taken this into account while planning my trip.

3. There is no BA equivalent of the great carioca institution of the Termas.

4. Make sure you use the services of Roxane (for translation and arranging dates from escort sites) and Ana Luna (for transportation from airport) They are well worth every penny. Mariana (Roxane's assistant) got me Julie from platynum. Com. Br for 200 pesos for 1 hour. I have never been to their website. I described what I wanted and Marianna arranged everything for US$10. It was great. Julie was a little spaced out, but had a good body and provided good service.

5. The microcenter pubs were deserted on the two days (Saturday and Sunday) I went there, so my observations might not represent the norm, but I thought they were certainly downscale compared to the recoleta clubs, but you can still get girls as hot as anywhere else. Not sure if there's any difference in the quality of services received after take-out.

6. Had the most GFE experience of my moderately prolific mongering life at Salome. After being disappointed roaming the boliches and cafes till 3am, I ended up at Salome's. Its an interesting place. Jackson lists it under clubs, but its not like the rest of the clubs in that it does not have chica drinks and bar fines. In any case, even at Salome the talent didn't look promising. I was cursing my luck for having taken this 10 hour plane ride to be disappointed like this. In walks a chick a with flowy miniskirt. You know how it is when you go to a bar with a bunch of friends (or with a girl friend if you're unlucky) and there is this one chick who is wearing a skimpy mini-skirt and tearing up the dance floor. She leaves no red-blooded hetero (hell, probably even homo) male in the room without a hardon. You just want to push her against the wall, lift that skirt up and ram her from behind so hard she can't even scream. Well, Romina was that cocktease. Every guy in the place had his eyes on her. I was standing in a corner of the basement, never for a second taking my eyer off of her. She never directly looked at me. After about 45 minutes of dancing, she walks straight to me and says lets go. No introductions, no hi-hello. Just lets go. So we head upstairs for a drink with her amiga. They were really into each other and asked me if I wanted them both. That would have been great, except, unfortunately, her amiga was a hag. So anyway, we head out of their in a Taxi after I quickly confirm 150 (me - 100, she - 200, settle at 150) for short time. We kissed all the way to the hotel in the cab. After getting to the room, I did exactly what I had pictured in the club, I pushed her head down on he mattress, lifted her skirt and had my way with her (after a shower break, of course. I appreciate those, but they just take so much away from the mood) This hottie was sharp and knew how to please a man. We got along really well. I told her she dances well and it was really sexy. She said she was putting up a show for me. She gave me her number and told me to call her if I was around for another week. She was from paraguay and lives / has a son somewhere 2 hrs away from BA (borealis?

7. I found that anal was not as standard on the menu in BA. In Rio, on my last visit, I talked to 12 garotas. Only 1 said no to anal (interestingly, 2 said no to bbbj) In BA, out of the 7 I have talked to, two were ready for it.ç

8. Girls will routinely promise and refuse to deliver under the disguise of not understanding. Try to be as specific as possible when you negotiate.

9. Make a promise to yourself that you'll refuse any service that someone comes offering to you. Turn down the touts who promise live nude girls - 'just look, no problema'. You go inside and before you know it, you're out of 100 pesos. Guys who offer to find you taxi - they want a tip and the cab is typically not a meter cab. Chicas who walk up to you in clubs and keep pestering for drinks. Politely refuse them all and choose your own. The only exception, probably, is if you're chatting with a chica in a club for a while and then she asks you for a drink.

10. I was pretty satisfied with the Wilton Hotel. Good value for money. The hotel staff are not at their most pleasant self when they see you bring chicas in, but never created a real issue. It is, however, a little far from the action and the 5-15 peso cab rides add up quickly.

11. There's no point wasting your money at Black's, except in one instance - things are really slow everywhere else and you don't mind settling for a cold classy chick for a lot of $. BA confirmed whats turned out to be the most predictable trend - the most expensive establishment in town is guaranteed not to produce the best experience. In other places, however, one has to make an obligatory trip to such places. Posseidon in BKK is to mongering what Macy's New York is to malls. Its a massage superstore - possibly the biggest one in the world. My experience there was not the best, but I was glad I made the trip. Centaurus in Rio, similar story. Not the best experience, but you got to go there once to see and experience the drop dead georgeous supermodels even though they are colder than the chicas at other Termas. Black, not so. Don't waste your money going there. You will find girls as hot at other Recoleta clubs for significantly lower price. 75% of the chicas at black were silicone infused.

12. Tried the 1707 Santa Fe Apt 3 privado. Went there at 4pm on Tuesday. There were only 3 chicas 6-7. They were all cold during introductions and displayed no eagerness to be with me. Karina was lukewarm and had decent body, so I went with her. Ok experience, worth the money. 120 pesos + 30 extra for bbbj. The place has a roadside motel quality to it - paint chipping at the walls, water seeping thru the walls, sheets that leave you wondering whether they laundered since they were last used.

13. The club scene starts very late - 11pm is the absolute earliest you want to go. Midnight is really when it starts going. Too late for me. The microcenter clubs might get going a little earlier.

14. Leather shopping - place to go is 500 - 700 block of Murrillo. 666 Murillo, which is recommended elsewhere on the board, I found to be a much overpriced compared to other places, but might be worth it if quality is reliable. I was surprised that almost none of the shops on Murrillo carry shoes. There is one shop close by called Norwich at the intersection of Scalabrini Ortiz and Padilla, which does, but I wasn't too impressed with the offerings.

15. There are sex shops scattered around town. One is on Corrientes in an arcade (shop doesn't face the street) right next to the Opera place and opposite the American Truck. Haven't been inside one to see what they offer.

16. Try to make it to the pool party at the mansion. Was a pleasure meeting likeminded hobbyists - the Captain, daddyrulez, the french guy (sorry, forgot your screenname) tangomaniac and others.

Overall, purely from a mongering perspective, I find Rio to be the best. Those garotas with asses so tight you can crack a nut, those Termas's, the bikinis on the beach. Mongering / sex is in the air in Copacabana. Buenos Aires, however, is definitely a solid second.

I totally concure with your assessment of BA compared to Rio. To me it is not really a valid comparison to make.

Rio girls are all about GFE and TLN.

You will meet many more anal queens in Rio than BA.

BBBJ is standard with most if not all. No BS tipping required.

And the quality is better in Rio.

Brasileiras have this raw, primal passion that Argentines don't have generally.

Of course the Private Apartments do not match up to the Termas in any way, shape or form. Far less girls working compared to a terma and the quality is not as good IMO. The only thing I really liked about the Private Apartments was how the girls come out and greet you one at a time (and of course the cost) This was new to me and I really dug it. That would be ideal for me if the Termas did this but I guess the whole setup and quantity would make it difficult to achieve.

Speaking strictly about mongering and nothing else Rio gets a 5 star rating and BA about 3.

I've been to both, but still give BA the nod for a few reasons.

1. Safety. In Rio you've really got to watch out for scams, muggings and outright theft. I stayed for almost a month and liked it, but having to continually look over my shoulder gets old.

2. Food. In Rio, the food is better than most, but still doesn't compare to BA.

3. Shitty visa rules. In Brazil if you're from the US, you've got to get a visa to go. When I went, they only gave a 90 day visa, which is useless to me. Some people get the 5 year type, but I wasted upwards of $160 for one trip.

While I did get an absolute stunner in Sao Paolo, I didn't find most of the normal chicas any better than BA. Of course, I'm not paying $150 US an hour either, mostly the Help and Karla model type places.

I had a Brazilian GFE when I lived in Japan. She was an english teacher and fairly educated. I dated her for 6 months.

I did not pay a dime and I will tell you that after banging girls from over 30 countries, thinking about her still brings back wood. Pure fuckmonster.

I have never been to Brazil though.

I chose BsAs over Rio for this trip.

I prefer the strange. There is always something new around the bend.

Jayf1970,

You're right about going to Murillo for leather jackets, etc. Instead of buying on Av. Florida. I have looked at most of the shops and ended up buying jackets at 666 Murillo, it was more expensive (about $125 for a nice jacket that would cost $400-$500 here in California) but I liked the quality better there. Anyway, anyone would be wise to hit this area for buying leather jackets, etc.

Nice & accurate report. I second it.

Rio is better but more dangerous. I used to stay more there. Now I limit my visits to 10-15 days twice a year.

Rio termas is a must. No comparison to BKK fishbowls. In BKK you select a cold fish mainly.

In Rio Termas you select a "garota" that will give you the fuck of your life like she was your best girlfriend.

If someone could have the bath & massages of BKK in a Rio Terma would be optimum.

Rio is much more expensive than BsAs. eg For equivalent apartments in BsAs I pay one third of Rio price.

But still I like BsAs a lot. That is why I am visiting both cities during my south american trips.

There is a third one that I am visiting too. Fortaleza. It does not compare to Rio or BsAs but is where I feel that I am on real vacations because of the beautifull beaches and the sea front avenue which looks like Rio's Avenida Atlantica.

I'm surprised at the amount of comparisons made between BA and Rio. They are both large cities in South America but that's about all they have in common.

You could compare the pros and cons of New York City to those of Mexico City since they are both large cities in North America but it seems rather pointless.

Jayf1970
02-15-07, 02:45
That are its two topmost mongering destinations. And this being a board of the mongers, for the mongers and by the mongers, its only natural to compare these two cities. These are the only two cities I (and I am sure quite a few others on this board) chose to visit first in SA, and for only one purpose.

In any other context, you might be correct - probably pointless to compare the two.

Hi there guys,

I'm a 27yr old monger that frequents Costa Rica, Rio, Europe & S. E. Asia alot, however I have never been to BA.

I am planning a 11 day trip to Rio & BA in May, spending 7nights in Rio and then Fri, Sat, Sun & Mon in BA.

After reading some of these posts, it seems that Rio does get the thumbs up over BA. Am I correct?

I'm a young, good looking guy and will never over-pay for women in any country. On my last trip to Rio, I had a 5day GFE, that cost me $50USD a night. She was the most amazing sex I've ever had! She would cook for me, take me out, and even paid for a bottle of champagne in HELP!

I'm the type of person that likes going to Nightclubs, bars & cafes. Drinking, having fun with the girls, and eventually taking one home for the night.

The trip in May, is for my younger brother's stag party, so there will be 7 of us, all aged 24-30.

What recommendations would you "BA veterans" have for us?

I've been reading on this thread how girls in BA cost $200-$300 pesos an hour. Thats crazy, considering in Rio, the max I ever paid was $70USD for the night.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Partyman

Last night I picked up a chica, not the best looking, probably a 7. We went to dinner, some dancing and three good fucks. She was with me for 5 hours wanted to stay the night, I sent her home. I gave her 250 peso's she took it smiling. There was a 10 peso note on the outside of the wad I gave her, she never counted it just put it in her purse. I did this on purpose by the way. We never spoke about money the whole night either. Was a real GFE even though that is not really my thing it was nice for a change.

It was also Valentines Day, so she may have been feeling lonely, but I try not to delve too deep into chica psychology.

I am 34, not really that good looking and I am rather bald.

The all night GFE is not really the norm here as far as I can tell, but it is out there if you look for it. I have only been here a week so take that for what its worth.

Belive it or not I used to get the same all week GFE treatment that your talking about in Korea for about 50$ a day, she also washed and ironed my clothes and cooked dinner.

KG,

If that's the average kind of date you do with them, most chicas will fight with each other for the right to spend time with you.

Many mongers, myself included, have used this kind of methodology to entertain themselves.

Moore
02-16-07, 01:46
They are both large cities in South America - that are its two topmost mongering destinations. One of many great things about BsAs is that despite being an outstanding mongering destination, very few people know that fact!

I didn't.

Party Man,

I wouldn't say either place gets the thumbs up. They're different mongering experiences - both worthwhile. I've been going to Rio twice a year since 2000. Obviously I love the place. That said, it's gotten overly expensive (glad to hear you don't overpay - too many big spenders in Rio nowadays)

I tried BA out in January for the first time, and I loved it. Great food, good club scene and a clean, safe city. Only negative is no termas - I just love being able to flirt and fondle the chicks before and after fucking them.

I think the ideal if one has time would be to spend a week in BA then a week in Rio.

Hunt99
06-11-07, 17:14
Can you elaborate?Once you know a chica is a good fuck, offer to take them out on a date - and treat it just like a date, not a P4P fuck session. Deep down most chicas believe in the Julia Roberts / Richard Gere "Pretty Woman" fantasy, if you treat a hooker well, she'll appreciate it and make sure you know that she appreciates it.

Think like a chica - do you want a date with three or four guys who want simply to fuck and run? Or spend time over dinner, some conversation, and then some sex?

Obviously this strategy isn't appropriate to all chicas, nor to all mongers. If you're only looking for a quick fuck and move on, obviously this is not for you.

First of all, this being my first post, I must say this site is AWESOME and super helpful.

I hope this isn't too off topic for this thread, but is there a similar site for Rio? I am in BA at the moment, and plan to make Rio my next stop. I could really use some good advice from seasoned pros such as yourselves to help me get a quality experience without getting ripped off.

Can someone please tell me what the Termas are that people keep referring to in this thread?

I've been to Rio once before, but did not get to do a lot of mongering as my companions were not into it. The only place I went to was HELP, where I saw a lot of average looking chicks, but one or two who were absolutely stunning. As in drop dead.

I'd greatly appreciate any advice on rio, or if someone could direct me to a site where I can find reliable info that's not tainted by ulterior interests. In return, I can offer excellent advice on mongering in the Philippines, where I have vast experience.

Thanks,

Ted

Welcome Ted,

The main website that connects all the ISG websites is www.internationalsexguide.com , from there you will find forums to just about any country you would ever want to visit.

Here is the direct link to the Brazil forum:

http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=158

About the term Termas, you will get a much more in depth answer on the Brazil forum I am sure, but from what I gather, it is something of a turkish bath house, where you go and enjoy a sauna and your choice of beautiful naked Brazilian women. You pay the entrance and then you pay per girl you bang.

Hope that was helpful,

Bad

Took my first trip to South America and decided on a 3 country tour of Colombia, Brazil, then Argentina.

------------------------------------

First stop - Medellin, Colombia.

Great city. Excellent temperate climate all year round. Stayed at Medellin Mansion, which is a mansion with about 12 bedrooms where working girls hang around. This is probably the best place to stay for a lone monger, as pretty much only mongers stay here and the mongers meet in the common areas of the house and usually go out at night together or trade stories. Here is the pricing structure in Medellin:

*Mansion girls - working girls at the Mansion asking 150,000 COP ($75 USD) Some will take 100,000 ($50 USD) Sessions usually 1 - 1.5 hrs. YMMV as far as BBBJ and GFE. I had a BBBJ / GFE because I got along well with the girl and took her to dinner a couple of times.

*Massage parlors - upscale one like Loutron's is 150,000 ($75 USD) per hour. I went to one called Energy which was very nice, just a notch below Loutron's and they charged 75,000 ($37.50 USD) for an hour. Session was OK, but there are some jewels to be found from what I heard. Plus, it's easy to get them out of these parlors and come see you after work for a better negotiated rate.

*Strip clubs - strip clubs with back rooms to get busy in. Fase Dos is the nicest one with the best looking girls but pricey at 150,000 per hour. I went to a lower end one called San Diego Grill, where the price is 100,000 per hour. I didn't session there but got the girl's number and she came over the next day. Damage was 150,000 for 2 hours (2 pops) Pretty good GFE experience.

*Street action - there's a street called Mayorista where you can find maybe find 5 outta 100 attractive girls. I think their rates are around 25,000 ($12 USD) per hour. There are indeed gems to be had, but I don't like the street scene, so I passed.

------------------------------------

Second Stop - Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

Fun city to visit. Dirty and you have to be careful walking alone in some areas. Stayed at an apartment since most hotels don't seem to be chica friendly or at least charge some kind of fee.

*Termas - basically a sauna where you dress in a robe and go to another room that looks like a regular bar / dance club. All the women are in their bikini's and you mingle with one until you want to take her back to the cabine (back rooms) Cabines are very nice and clean. Cost for Termas in Copacabana usually run about 240 - 260 Reals ($120 - 130 USD) This is usually broken down into 60R entry fee, 60-80R room fee, and 100-120R fee for the girl. Sessions are typically only 40 minutes. Quite pricey. The Termas girls are the friendliest girls I have ever met. They will sit, chat with you, make out with you right in the bar area. Pretty much all of them DFK and give BBBJ. Went to a couple of Termas (4x4 and Luomo's) and had good experiences at both. It's a cool place to chill, take a steam bath, have a session, get a massage, have another session, eat some food at the buffet, etc. These girls love sex and are easy to take out of the Termas. I had a session with this one girl and met another one a few minutes afterwards. I told her I was beat so she would have to come to my apartment after work instead. She agreed to a price of 200R ($100 USD) "where time didn't matter". She of course was total GFE and stayed the whole night and left at 10a the next morning. Talk about a bargain. The next night, I called her and she agreed to come over again where no money was discussed. She stayed the whole night again and we did it a couple of times. Next morning, she didn't even ask for cab fare or anything.

This is one thing that I can say is good about the Termas - the girls are tested regularly and seem more stable than some girls that freelance at clubs. Seems most are willing to see you outside the Termas for a much lower price, so some great deals can be had. This is the way I went while in Rio, seeing them outside the Termas.

*Discos - HELP is the biggest one in South America. I went once. There were about 200 girls and 200 guys. Most girls were unattractive to me and I hear there are a lot of drug users there. I think the going price is 200-300R for 2 hours ($100-150 USD) This is a freelance place with no bar fines for taking the girl out.

-Barbarella is another disco but it is pricey. It is structured like Black's, Madaho's, etc I believe. I think the damage will be 400-500R to take the girl out. Not a good value but I hear the girls are stunners.

*Low end street and bar action - there's an area called Vila Mimosa for very cheap activity. I think like 26R ($13USD) an hour or something. Not my scene, so I can't really report.

------------------------------------

3rd Stop - Buenos Aires.

I'll admit, I did the least mongering here.

*Boliches - I just didn't find too much value here since the Recoleta clubs like Madaho's are now 300 pesos an hour ($100 USD) just for the girl. Factor in the drink prices and cover charge (50 + 80) and you are at 430 - 450 pesos to take a girl back to your place for 1 - 1.5 hours.

*Bars - there are other bars like Newport where free lancers hang out and there are no bar fines. I stopped by Newport one night and the girls were around 6-7 in looks. I think their going rate may be 200 pesos an hour.

*Privados - private apartments provide the best value. I went to Esmeralda 517 1-be and there were 6 chicas there. I think 3 outta the 6 were in the 8 range in looks. Price was 100 pesos for 30 minutes or 150 p for 1 hour. I chose the quickie. Session was with an Argentine girl which was ok - light kissing, CBJ. But hell, it was cheap.

I hear the Paraguay girls are way better in the sack than Argentines, but I did not get to experience any while here. All in all, I'd say BsAs isn't the most convenient mongering place - in Colombia there are the massage parlors that are well known and are a constant, in Rio there are the Termas and discos, and then there's BsAs. Lacking in massage parlors and termas, BsAS privados are the best value and good for daytime action, but they tend to move around a bit and the boliches are quite pricey and don't start up until around 1am or so. So for the evening action between 8p - 1 am, it's slim pickens. Maybe some privados that run 24 hours, or the freelance coffee shops like Exedra.

All in all, I thought sex in Rio was by far the best. I had good experiences in Colombia too, but Colombianas don't have as much passion as Rio girls. They may be on par with Argentina chicas, although looks-wise I prefer the Colombian look.

I found the Columbian section of interest since I have yet to visit. Been to Rio and must admit the girls are really great looking compared to the girls in BA. Have to be real careful in Rio. Always felt like I had to watch my back. In the long run you may pay a bit more in Rio but you get more time and pops in the session. Still can't beat the bife de lomo in BA.

Thank you for the excellent synopsis of three prime mongering locations.

The next time you visit Buenos Aires, I highly suggest you visit the apartments for the following reasons:

1. Many lower priced Paraguayians are available;

2. Increasing number of apartments are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week;

3. Many of the hot model quality chicas on the web sites work at various apartments.

When commuting between apartments, I usually found Buenos Aires taxis to be inexpensive and efficient. Many times apartments are clustered in certain areas of the city, I. E. Downtown, San Telmo, Santa Fe area, etc.

Factoring in the BA apartments, it would be interesting to see your analysis vs. Medellion and Rio.

Barbarella is another disco but it is pricey. It is structured like Black's, Madaho's, etc I believe. I think the damage will be 400-500R to take the girl out. Not a good value but I hear the girls are stunners.Barbarella is possibly my favorite boliche in the world. I visited several times between 1998 - 2002 but haven't been in the area since. I'd often do two chicas a night there. Prices were the equivalent of around US$50 then, even though the Real was sometimes stronger than it is now.

But that single place is one of the only things I like about Rio.

SlimHoleDrill
09-05-07, 15:33
This is a question I have gone over many times and I have to say, I think it is a moving target. Several years back, when the real was weaker, I thought, all other things being nearly equal (or offsetting) Rio won just on price / quality considerations. Now that prices are more similar, it gets really tough. Sooo.

Chicas -- honestly I can't choose. I have had outstanding times in both places (not to mention some of the other SA venues mentioned -- Colombia, Venezuela, Peru. Maybe Rio gets a slight edge just on attitude.

Setup -- Rio has the termas, beach, bars, chicas everywhere. BA has bars, discos pickup joints private apartments, la recoletta -- edge to Rio since there is nothing like a terma.

Price edge to BA.

Wine -- BA hands down.

Caip. -- Rio.

Convenience BA for private apartments -- open earlier than the Termas!

Food -- this is a tough one and it depends on whether you are in the mood for a steak or classic cuisine or if you want something spicey. Edge to BA.

Music -- for me, Rio wins.

I guess in the end, I have to give a slight edge to Rio, based on the magic of the Terma. At some time around 9-10 PM these places start to really rock. Nothing like it on the planet.

DikdieTrick.

I have been to all three cities and I can confirm the accuracy of your report.

I also agree with you. For the record I am feeling much more safer in Medellin and Bs As than in Rio.

I also saw the absolute ten on a Friday evening in one of those bars in parque Jeras. All three of us agreed on that.

She was not a working girl. Too many rich people around there.

Thanks

This is a question I have gone over many times and I have to say, I think it is a moving target. Several years back, when the real was weaker, I thought, all other things being nearly equal (or offsetting) Rio won just on price / quality considerations. Now that prices are more similar, it gets really tough. Sooo.

SlimPrices in Rio have gone way up. More than 45% devaluation of USD and Euro to the Reais and about 30% increase in prices over the last two years or so.

I used to pay 1.000 Reais / month for an apartment in Fortaleza two years ago and now the price is 1.800 for the same apartment.

30 Reais / day in Rio four years ago and now they are asking 150 R.

BsAs, Colombia, Venezuela are having similar prices much cheaper than Brazil.

I will agree with you for all the rest.

Thanks

ThanksThanks for the info -- I have not been either place for more than 6 months. I rmember it was getting more expensive, but not a lot more than taking a stunner from some place on la recoleta?

So what is the going rate for entry fee + garota+ cabina now say at Monte Carlo. I used to go, stay all night, have 2 or 3 girls, buy everybody and their friends drinks and still only spend USD 200 or less. And L'uomo used to have a discount scheme depending on the number garotas in a night -- do they still have that?

ThanksI have employees from Columbia and we used to do a lot of work there. Even my employees won't walk the streets at night in Medellin or Bogota. I am a little taller then the average Columbian so I tend to stick out a little (white hair and blue eyes don't help either) From what I understand, kidnapping extranjeros for money is a art in Columbia! I feel its much better here in BsAs then in Rio or Medellin.

SlimWhen I went to Monte Carlo terma, the rate I believe was 60R entry, 60R cabine, and 130R garota. If you use a credit card, you can only charge the entry and cabine, as all garota fees have to be paid in cash. They let me charge it all to the card since I was a new customer and said they would allow it as a courtesy. With the current Real vs USD exchange rate, one shot at Monte Carlo costs about $125 USD. The real value in Rio is getting the girls outta the termas for overnight play.

SlimExpect to pay about 250 Reais (125-130 usd) for a 40min trick in a cabine all inclusive.

L'uomos has gone downhill due to the change of management. Many girls left the place because of that. There are many posts for that in the Rio forum.

I took all the precautions though especially with taxis.

I was there January last year. I went all over the place at night with my wing man and local girlfriends, even downtown, with no problem at all. Especially at Pablito and the surrounding areas.

On the contrary I was stoped with a knife in Cartagena around 01:00 going to my hotel. I was lucky a group of people were coming around the corner and the young guy decided to turn around and leave me alone.

My opinion is that both Rio and BA will continue to cost more with time. The longer you sit on the fence will just add to the expense of travel to either place.

That said. I would personally not recommend travel to Rio without an experienced friend to show you the ropes there.

I think Buenos Aires has more small theft than big theft. Proper research and a heads up attitude should suffice for most people.

Define what you really want, and determine what you are willing to pay for it.
