Restaurants: Medellin is full of them. Everything from fast food and pizza places to elegant, white table cloth, sit down dining. Many fine seafood, steak and local cuisine establishments at very affordable prices. Note: Some high end places include a service charge for the waiters but most do not. Tipping is not expected. It is not culturally ingrained in the mindset of service personnel. Most locals will not tip unless the service is exceptional or they are trying to impress a girl they are with that night. Don't feel obligated to tip and if you don't nobody will think anything about it. Leave a nice tip and they will be falling all over themselves to be your waiter/waitress if you return.

Keeping in touch: For the e-mail junkies or those that have to keep in touch while away, there are many decent internet cafes. Most hotels have internet access and the Mansion has wireless internet to compliment their dedicated access. I picked up a couple of Wi-Fi hot spots quite by accident. Many were security blocked but several were wide open and I just helped myself. Speed was quite surprising too!

Departing: Like most short 7-10 day mongering forays, you will not be ready to leave because you have not had time to experience all that Medellin has to offer, or, you are just beginning to enjoy the company of a GFE you have acquired. Don't be too concerned as it is a short hop from Miami and many cities offer non stop flights on a daily basis, making your return simple and easy to plan....even for a long weekend! You do need to plan for the return trip to the airport and the eventualities of delays on the mountain roads. Leave early and you may spend extra time in the airport. Cut it short and you may find yourself returning to your hotel because of traffic delays. Another alternative is to book at room at the Santiago de Amar motel, five minutes from the airport. It is a La Quinta style of motel but you can spend your final hours with your current squeeze and dash for the airport at the last minute without any worries of traffic delays. One guy even checked in at the airport, checked his luggage, returned to the motel with his GF and spent his last three hours in Mde. in bliss.

At the beginning of this report, I stated that Medellin is not for everybody. It is not "sex in your face" like BKK , Pattaya, AC or even Rio. There are no beaches and with the exception of a few museums, parks (and some very interesting tours) there is not a lot to do during the day. Medellin is a great place to have dental or plastic surgery performed by some very world renowned doctors at incredibly cheap prices. You will have a sore neck from staring at gorgeous women all day. You will love the climate. You can get laid at many casas all day and night. You can pick up girls in bars, strip joints, on the streets and even in discos. Prices range from as little as $8.50 to well over $100. The mentality is mostly ST but you will find an occasional LT GFE. Give it a try. If you don't like it after a couple of days, you can always head over to Cartagena for the remainder of your trip.

Look for a series of reports on individual locations along with photos and videos. It will be a good cross section of what you will see and be able to have in Medellin. You may not see T&A from all the girls (remember, this is a somewhat conservative city) but I got a fair share of them to give me a peek and more. The videos are going to take some editing and will come later. Enjoy and I recommend you put Medellin on your targeted cities to visit.

Street Girls They are everywhere in regular hangouts. They are cheap (as low as $8.50), they range in all sizes, shapes, colors and.....AGES! Many old scaggy looking women and "be careful guys" many young, very young girls looking to make money. Funny conundrum! In Colombia, you can't legally work unless you are 18. So if you are 17 years old, have a child to feed or rent to pay, you work the streets. For a Colombian man, the legal age of consent is 12. For a girl 14 (under that she needs her parents consent). Let's see, a 13 year old girl saying, "mom, can I have your permission to have sex with Rodrigo tonight?" www.ageofconsent.com They can be cute, luscious, little hard bodied cuties. They can also spell big trouble if you are caught with them in Colombia and even worse so when you return to the US. They are also very inexperienced and many locals that go with them tell me it is a waste of time. They prefer more experienced older girls...at least 18! Rule of thumb: Ask their age. No matter what they say, ask for a cedula. If they don't have a cedula, they are probably not 18 because every 18 year old in Colombia is required to have one! If they don't, they probably aren't, so tread cautiously or have a wingman with lots of money on him! Some have even been known to turn in a gringo for part of the reward and it will cost you 200 times that much in legal fees defending yourself when you return to America. Calle 33. Calle 53, Majoritas are some major hangouts. Best to go with one or more friends. As a lone wolf, you will probably feel uncomfortable. The areas can be kind of seedy. At night, take a taxi but don't expect the girls to jump in and go with you. You may have to do some convincing on that point.

Other places: some very large, raucous discos that are wall to wall people. Mango's is probably the most famous. Set in an early western theme, they have numerous stages with Mangos dancers in skimpy outfits gyrating and grinding to various types of music. There is a cover of $10K and drinks are not cheap. Target identification is another matter. You would have to spend several nights there and learn to read the room before you could spot who was available and who was not. Many are with dates, others are with groups of friends. For the most part, it is a place to see and be seen for the locals as the prices keep out all but the well to do or those who get lucky to find someone able to pay. Many save their money to be able to go once per month. This is a place to take a date IMHO, at least on your first couple of visits. It is a great place to party with a group of friends. You will see more cleavage and silicon in one place than you have probably ever seen in any one place in your life. They are only open 4 nights per week, Thurs. through Sunday so be advised in your planning.

Universal is another place close to Mangos but most locals call it a copy cat and do not frequent it. Parke Lleras is a great place to girl watch, have a drink, light or heavy supper, after dinner dessert or coffee. Again, packed with girls but hard to say who is with a date, who is with a group of friends or who is available to approach. Good to take a date the first time or two and get the lay of the land. There are frequent fashion shows in P.L. that are teeming with gorgeous beauties. Take your cameras. They are very photo friendly.

Of course, there are other favorite local hangouts but don't be surprised to find yourself in an uncomfortable part of town. Know and trust your date before agreeing to go anywhere.

Racial Bias: Medellin was founded by early Europeans that kept the bloodlines quite pure. There were very few slaves imported to the region, little or no contact with the indigenous people and very few outsiders ever ventured into the mountainous region. As a result, there is a very racially biased element amongst the population. We met a group of girls at a party one day and all said they would not go with a black man (see video). This immediately raised concern on my part as far as reporting on Mde. as a mongering destination for 4WOTW. To the rescue came two brothers from K.C and Tulsa respectively, who arrived at the Mansion. I cornered them with beers in hand one night and explained the situation and asked for their help in confirming or denying the existence of the racism. After two days, they reported, with smiles on their faces, that they had not encountered any problems with the local girls not willing to share their favors for a price. Robert and Greg also confirmed that about 25% of their clients were black and none had ever complained. I won't say you won't ever experience it if you visit here but the odds seem to be in your favor that you won't.

The overall scene: The sex business in Medellin is somewhat more "dust under the rug" than in places like Rio, Thailand or Angeles City. It is everywhere, make no doubt about it, but people do not necessarily promote it, prey on it, talk openly about it or are even fully aware it even exists. They just accept it. Not all taxis will know where the casas are located but if you say a massage parlor, they will merely smile. You admire a beautiful Paisa and they just nod in agreement. Some are opportunistic and know of a girl or two they can introduce you to...(I would pass). Medellin is more reserved and conservative than say Cartagena. They all do it, they just don't want to advertise it.
You can score in clubs, parks, shopping centers, grocery stores or just walking down the street. The girls are very friendly and think nothing of having a conversation with you (especially if you speak some Spanish). They are anxious to hear about America, Disney World, New York, Las Vegas, South Beach, Los Angeles..did I mention Disney World? You may not bed them the first night but by the second or third outing, you can have a non pro between the sheets rocking your world. You can also play at other venues when she is working or with her family. Which reminds me. If she suggests meeting her family, get a very sudden case of Bubonic Plague, Asian Bird Flu, Dengue Fever or West Nile Virus. If you meet the family, you are as good as pre-engaged. For some that may be OK. Just be forewarned of the local cultures and customs. There are also a number of introduction agencies in town that, for a price, will introduce you to any number of gorgeous available ladies. Most are not working girls and it may take a date or two but you will meet girls otherwise unavailable.

Between the Scenes: Unless you are bona fide porno star, you are probably not going to be spending 24 hours per day in the sack. Having said that, many guys do just hang out with their girls all day or go shopping at some of the local upscale malls, visit one of many local casinos, sit in the cafes, restaurants and people watch or look for a little more adventure. The guys at the Mansion have hooked up with a local tour group to provide some rather exciting diversions. Anything from skydiving, parasailing, canopy tours, white water rafting, kayaking, golf, bicycling, rock climbing, paint ball to going to a Colombian Military base and shooting automatic weapons and concussion grenades. And lest you think these are male only diversions, think again. The chicks really dig some of this stuff. One girl we took to the firing range actually out scored the guys and another on a white water rafting trip, after getting bounced out of the boat on a class three rapid, begged to be in the front of the boat for the next set of rapids. The other advantage of some of these side trips and tours is that you get to see some of the incredibly gorgeous countryside of the Colombian interior. The valley of La Pintara could aptly be renamed Shangri-La.

These diversions also can serve as a believable alibi for those that need one to visit Medellin. "Why are you going to Medellin Colombia?" "Well, they have some great class 3 rapids I want to try out" or, "some of the best rock climbing in all of South America" You can even take back photos to prove it, even if you don't participate in a tour.

Medellin is called, "The City of Eternal Spring" because of its pleasant year round climate (an average of 24C). At 1,538 meters above sea level, the city sits in the Aburra Valley surrounded by the mountainous Antioquia terrain. It rains frequently except in January and June, which are considered the dry months, but the showers are usually in the mid afternoons and only last briefly. (still a good idea to bring or buy a travel umbrella). Medellin, is a proud and modern city of almost 2.2 million people, with an area of 362 square kilometers. It is the capital of the Antioquia department and is widely regarded as the industrial center of Colombia and as a clean, well-organized and economically vibrant community. Its people are hard-working and industrious. Major industries include coffee and flower export, textiles, information technology and household appliances. Medellin has more Internet connections than any other Colombian city. It is also the fashion capital of Colombia. Each year the "Feria de Las Flores" (Flower Festival) attracts visitors from all over South America for parades and conventions. The city's fast and efficient "Metro" is the only public transit subway system in Colombia and the "Empresas de Pública de Medellin" is widely viewed as the best public utility operating in the country. In culinary delights, Medellin is said to have created Colombia's ubiquitous "arepa" - a flat bread made from various types of corn. I find it somewhat bland when eaten by itself but when filled with meats, cheeses or eaten with eggs for breakfast, it can be quite tasty (add a little margarine, a little honey and you have a very tasty alternative to toast). Meanwhile, Medellin's historical traditions are evident in Pueblito Viejo in Neitibara, a squared section of town on top of a hill in the middle of the city (look for the microwave towers surrounded by trees) with homes and shops preserved as they were 100 years ago.
Medellin has a cultural focus on education. It is also home of many universities that serve mainly the province of Antioquia. Among the most important are Universidad de Antioquia, Universidad Nacional, Universidad EAFIT, Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana and Escuela de Ingenieria de Antioquia.

The Medellin Ladies, affectionately called Paisas (pie-sahs), are seen by many as the most beautiful of the Colombian Latinas. A famous Colombian saying goes: "If you want a pretty mistress, go to Cali, but if you want a beautiful wife, go to Medellin."

Upon arrival, you will be impressed with the modern airport, the quick transit through immigrations and customs, rapid baggage retrieval and availability of transportation to your intended destination. Get ready though, for a 45 minute to 1 hour drive through steep, 2 lane mountain roads that twist and turn in every direction imaginable. If you suffer from motion sickness or do not do well on amusement park rides, you might even want to have some Dramamine on hand as the taxis look upon this trek as an adventure and test of their driving skills, passing other cars on curves with minimal visibility of oncoming traffic. There are also frequent slow moving trucks, busses, rock and mud slides, accidents, cars with mechanical problems, bicyclists, horse drawn carts and any number of other encumbrances to slow your trip. (also, remember this for your departure).

Whether you are staying in a hotel, hostel, apartment or the famous Medellin Mansion run by Aussie Greg and Medellin Bob, you will immediately get the impression that Medellin is a very upscale city, especially the Poblado area. The commercial buildings are very modern and most are less than 10 years old, the residential apartments are very upscale, well landscaped and maintained, the streets are immaculate (they literally sweep the curbs and sidewalks daily), there is an abundance of small and large businesses, restaurants, parks, police are everywhere, people are well dressed, there are almost no touts and very few beggars or homeless people to be seen and everyone seems to have a purpose or destination in mind. There are large manufacturing plants that make everything from textiles to appliances, scores of fresh flower processing plants (70% of the US fresh flower imports come from Colombia), well maintained roads, highways and expressways (autopista).

After you get settled in, you may want to see some of the sights and visit some of the places you have read so much about on various travel sites. You basically have three venues to choose from in meeting Paisas:

Casas-The names have been well reported but on the high end, Loutron, to the low end, New Life, they all offer similar services, just at different prices. There is also very little difference in quality of the line up from place to place and most have similar presentation methods; You enter, sit in a comfortable reviewing area, the girls enter one at a time draped in short smocks, open them to reveal bikinis or lingerie, turn, replace their outer , garment, say their name, ask "com permisso" and leave. It is a great idea to have a pen and paper in hand as there will be 6-15 girls per place depending on the day of the week and time of day. Many times, you have to ask for a second showing or a review of a select few before making your decision. Evenings are best for quantity. Quality is a daily toss-up depending on who is having their period, is sick, has a sick child or is occupied when you arrive. Most of the girls will have had some training in massage therapy but do not expect a 5 star, leave you wobbly kneed with aching muscles massages. Take it as an opportunity to relax and get to know your girl.

On the high end, Loutron, you will find a large facility with multiple indoor and outdoor rooms for reviewing or chatting with your selection. Outdoors in the rear of the building, you will find terraced sitting areas, a pool table, an outdoor thatched roof bar and a sauna. Probably, and this is pure assumption on my part, because it is in the upscale Poblado area of Medellin, you will pay almost double of what you will pay in other casas. Yes, the rooms are nicer, larger, well appointed and clean but the lineup of girls is not that much more spectacular than other casas in the city. My 1 hour and 15 minute session cost me $168,000CP which included two beers and a juice for my selected girl. It was billed on the menu as a very special, deep tissue massage with some oriental name. In reality, the only difference was the type of room we got and the time allotted with the girl. The massage was lame to a fault and the sex was mechanical and uninspiring. No kissing, covered BJ and she was up and dressing after one pop. I looked at my watch and quickly informed her we still had 30 minutes left and she was going nowhere until my time was finished! I am sure there are better girls and experiences to be had at Loutrons but for my money, I wasn't about to go back on another exploratory expedition. YMMV!
Other Note: Do not try to go there on the 1st or 15th of the month. Those are pay days and many girls suddenly get a case of bubonic plague, dengue fever, asian bird flu or some other unexpected malady that keeps them from going to work!

Many of the casas share the same ownership including Abydos, Blue Room, Energy, and others. They are all upscale (almost all have large aquariums filled with fish), have very nice, clean facilities and sessions are less than half the cost of Loutrons (average of $60 k for 40-60 minutes) even if you add in the taxi cost of 3-5K.

On the lower end, New Life, Miel y Canelas and similar, you can get a half hour for 30K, 45 minutes for 40K and an hour for 60K. Facilities are clean but not as upscale. One day at New Life, they paraded out a lineup that put Loutrons to shame. One guy took two and the rest of the 4 of us had no problems making a selection of the remaining girls. We even went back the next day and switched around our selections then had a 3k per person, 4 course meal in the restaurant downstairs and next door before heading out to our next venue. Miel y Canelas (means honey and cinnamon) is a slightly different venue in that the girls are all sitting around in street clothes in a large lounge area. You can sit and chat with them, have the manager send them over to be introduced or enjoy a drink or two before making your selection. The prices are right too at $60K per hour. (as of the time of this writing that is about $27)

Medellin Facts: Antioquia department in northwestern Colombia is in the mountainous region between the Cordillera Occidental and the Cordillera Central . (See the map Colombia) Here, the temperate climate gives Medellín, the capital of the Antioquia, the names of "The Land of Eternal Spring" and "Capital of The Flowers". (See the map Medellin)
Medellín is Colombia 's second largest city, a principal manufacturing and industrial area, as well as a commercial flower growing region, particularly orchids, but for years was best known as the center of The Colombian Cartels.
With the death of Pablo Escobar, Medellín has slowly recovered, but is not yet a full-fledged tourist destination.
However, there is plenty to do and see in the city itself and the scenic surroundings.
Medellín is a beautiful city, modern and yet true to its regional characteristics.
It was founded in 1616 in the scenic Aburrá valley, but remained small until the coffee boom in 1675. It later became the center of a textile industry, and today is a modern, vibrant city.

• Medellín is the first Colombian city to have a metro serving the city in both north-south and to the west.
When to Go
• With a climate of perpetual spring, any time of the year is a good time, but perhaps early August, when the Fería de las Flores is scheduled, is the best time.
• Check today's weather in Medellin .
Things to Do and See
• Fería de las Flores begins with a cabalgata, a horseback parade through the city, either alone or in groups, for almost the entire day.
Music, dances and cultural events celebrate the Antioquiana customs, but the highlight is the Desfile de Silleteros, where campesinos come down from the mountains carrying flowers.
• Basilica de la Candelaria is one of the few colonial buildings left.
• The Basilica Metropolitana in the Parque de Bolivar was completed early in the 20th century and is thought to be the largest brick church in South America .


• Pueblito Paisa is a replica of a typical Antioquiana village, complete with handicraft shops.

- Medellin is noted for its lovely climate, pleasant people and lively nightlife. Even though it is no longer the center of the cocaine industry, its still a big city and all the usual safety cautions apply:

• Stay out of lower class neighborhoods

• Don't flash money, jewelry, or electronic equipment

• Go out with groups at night, and don't go walking at night

• Don't accept cigarettes or drinks from strangers

The scene here is outstanding and very different from anything else we've ever experienced. Rather than Termas, there are massage palaces. Go go bars are also prevalent and are a uniquely asian concept as well. To be blunt, there is ass on tap all over the place, if you know where to look.

Thai Soapy Massages

The Soapy Massage is something special and is truly unique to Thailand. Although experiences may differ from one massage palace to the other, generally your experience will be something like this:

You step into a giant, multi-story complex with a fishbowl in the lobby. Upon entering you will be greeted by a member of the staff who will explain the rules of house, go over pricing and answer any questions you may have about the myriad of available Asian girls seated behind the glass. I say Asian girls rather than Thai girls because often times there will be Asian girls from various countries represented in the fishbowl. It is common to find Thai girls, Vietnamese girls, Chinese girls, and Filipinas available in many fishbowls throughout South East Asia. They usually wear a pendant or a different color uniform to distinguish between the various Asian nationalities. Often times the girls are separated by groups according to services provided. There are often oil massage girls, soapy massage girls, and girls who provide either service followed by an hour of getting it on!

After choosing the Asian girl of your dreams you, proceed to your room upstairs where the girl (or girls if you choose two or more like I often do) will undress you, bathe you, kiss and fondle you, and rub and scrub you like you have never been rubbed and scrubbed before. All this happens before lying you down on a matt on the floor and soaping your body down in prep for an authentic, Thai soapy massage. The coolest thing about the soapy is that the girl actually massages your body with hers. By getting all soapy herself, there is little friction so she is free to slide her hot, petite little body all up and down you're front and back. Imagine this with two girls!

All this usually takes up the 1st hour or so, so you are left with between 45 minutes and an hour to have your fantasies fulfilled by your beautiful, Asian treat.

The total cost for a quality soapy is typically about $B1500 or $35USD.

Beer Bars

While most of Thailand's beer bars are in Pattaya and Phuket, Bangkok certainly has it's fair share. A beer bar is essentially a small, open air bar with anywhere from a few on up to 10 girls working. These are fun because the women are all smiling, laughing and are very playful and flirtatious. Their main goal is to get guys to stop by the beer bar for a few drinks or to get barfined by a single guy such as yourself. As you walk by many beer bars, women will cat call you with "Helloooo handsome man", "hi sexy man", or if you're black, "hello sexy chocolate man!". Of course you will likely welcome all of this attention because you will feel like a celebrity being attacked by a barrage of adoring and persistent female fans. If nothing else, this experience is a genuine ego booster. If you happen to stop at a bar because you couldn't resist the charms of beautiful Thai girls, then by all means grab a drink, flirt with the girls and have a good time. That's what you're there for isn't it? The girls at beer bars are all available for a small bar fine of around $B300 and $B1000 for the girl.

GoGo Bars

Gogo bars are a uniquely Asian concept whereby you, the customer, site and drink while watching the myriad of available Asian girls on stage dancing, flirting and grinding on the stripper pole in boots and thong bikinis. Since most of the GoGo Bars in Bangkok are situated within large adult entertainment complexes, or in red light districts, this makes it VERY easy to barhop until you find the Asian girl of your dreams, or at least the girl for the night.

When you have made your selection, the girl will usually sit with you and have a few lady drinks until you are ready to leave and head back to your hotel. Typically prices are $B1000-B$2000 for the girl and $B500-600 for the bar fine.

In my opinion, GoGos are where you will find the best looking Thai girls in Bangkok.

Today Florianópolis is a busy commercial center as well as a popular tourist destination. Industries produce metallurgical and electrical communications equipment, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and perfume. Most of the island is used as a holiday resort, with fine sandy beaches, tropical woods, surfing and snorkeling. The area around Lagoa has some of the best seafood restaurants in South America and arguably the world.

Floripa, however, is knows for it’s beaches. It has over 42 of them! With its small population (just over 300000) it does NOT have the hustle and bustle of Rio or Sao Paulo, yet there are TONS of beautiful, fair skinned Brazilian honies everywhere we went. The nightclubs, the beaches, walking down the streets, you name it. It is largely under the rader for tourists from regions OTHER than South America but you should certainly consider adding this destination to your Brazil itinerary for a spectacular get away.

History
From 1890 to 1920 the rubber boom brought prosperity to the city, actually to a
few rubber barons who brutally used Indians to collect the latex from the rubber
trees. In the late 1970s the Brazilian government and private companies began
extensive development the mineral and agricultural wealth of the surrounding
rain-forested region. To encourage even further commercial and tourist
development Manaus has also been declared a "Zona-Franca" (duty free zone).

The People
The women here are mostly Indigenous Indian and a slight bit of Portuguese. They are
gorgeous, friendly and love to party so you will find your share of good times
in this Amazonian city.

Exotic Nightlife
Now Manaus is not the place to go if you are only looking for erotic adventures. But if you are here to take one of the many tours of the world's largest rainforest, and want to have a little fun on the side, then you will not be disappointed. If you know where to go, you can definitely find quite alot of action, mostly non-pro. Some of the clubs seem to have a "motel" very close by if you are so inclined and get lucky. On an average night out in one of these clubs, the chances of "getting lucky" are good. The festive atmosphere and spirit of the region, accompanied by some
good "forro" music and dancing, exotic amazon beauties, and friendly people makes it certain the Manaus nightlife will be well worth the trip.

Tropical Hotel
A popular place to visit and to definitely score, Tropical Hotel is a disco, not a boite
but is just a great place to start your night and possibly meet up
with a few of the beautiful amazon women who inhabit this town. As a tourist, you will certainly attract attention, and the women are not shy about flirting with you and letting you know they are interested. Like most cities in Brazil, the women outnumber the men, so the competition for you can be fierce.

Ponta Negro
This is the strip where most of Manaus' strip clubs and massage parlors can be
found. Here you can meet sexy young girls who want to make your visit in the
Amazon as exciting as possible. There is even a drive thru club. A place where
you drive through and there are twenty odd girls lined up. You pick the girl you
want and take her right there in your car, its that simple and yes that
convenient.

Night life
There is also a relatively active nightlife in Manaus apart from the organized
festivals. Local bars and nightclubs often have major Brazilian stars as
headliners, as well as Manaus being the home of the group Carrapicho, the group
who recorded the international hit Tic Tic Tac (or to hear it "tchiki tchiki
tchac").

A more relaxed, but equally enjoyable, festa is spending a Sunday afternoon at
Ponta Negra. I regularly go to the barracas (small stalls) at Ponta Negra along
the beach (during dry season, during rainy season the beach disappears under
water) on a Sunday afternoon for some regional food and a few cold beers with
friends. It is an excellent spot for meeting people, or just people watching. I
regularly make new "friends" there.

Weather
The Amazon is a very tropical environment in that the weather is hot, humid and
wet. It would be best to bring jeans, tennis shoes, sandals and t-shirts. You
should also pack sunscreen and possibly an umbrella just in case of a little
tropical downpour.

Outdoor Opportunties
Manaus serves as a key destination for Amazon tourism. Everywhere you go, you
are assailed by the options: nature camps, river rides, boat trips, trekking
excursions, piranha watching - there are choices galore. The adventurous tourist
will not be disappointed, and neither will the day-tripper.

Eateries
Food is equally good and cheap: you can get by with eating on the streets for as
little as, and a little more if you prefer restaurants where you can sit down at
tables. In that sense, it is probably just about as cheap (or expensive,
depending on which way you look at it) as Georgetown. Yet, the range and quality
of Brazilian cuisine available, makes it

Hotels
Manaus, like several other Brazilian destinations offers a quality range of
low-budget accommodation, quite essential for attracting tourists, many of whom
tend to be budget travellers. For a complete list, join now.

Recife is the Portuguese word for “reef”. It is a coastal city with a population of 1.2 million people in the state of Pernambuco. It lies on the Golden Coast of northeastern Brazil. Recife is in about 1200 miles North of Rio ( Brazilís fourth largest city) and so forth has warm weather all the time. It was founded by the Portuguese in the 1530s and later taken over by the Dutch -- it is the largest city in the northeast of brazil. Recife was controlled by the Dutch in the 16th century again (back and forth, they burned it down each time they took control) after taken it back from Portugal. It has a nice mix of people (lots of Indian blood, but not as attractive as the cariocas of Rio). It’s primary claim to fame (for tourists) is the five miles of sea-front with natural pools formed by the off-shore reefs. The sand is perfect and the water is warm. This area is called Boa Viagem and is were most tourists stay (tons of hotels and apt buildings) and of course the night life. Sept-March is the dry season and is also off-season (rates drop 50%). Summer (when Europeans are off and of course Nov-Feb are hi-season). A few miles North of Boa Viagem is the main city called Centro de Recife and is diced in a multitude of bridges and canals. There are three main areas to the Centro, but for us the Old Recife is where there are new restaurants, bars and week-end parties. Here are the baroque churches and Portuguese and Dutch forts and the Cidade Velho does make a great escape from the daily beach life of Boa Viagem.
Well known for its great beaches and laid back atmoshpere, Recfie’s
definitely a must see and a much welcome break from the hustle and bustle of Rio
and Sao Paulo. This beach town boasts some beautiful coastline alongside a
fairly metropolitan city.

The People

Most of the women here are of European ancestry, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and
German amongst others. In Pernambuco girls seem to be a bit taller and bigger breasted than in other cities. Most are a bit darker skinned (morena), do not expect to find many blonde working girls If the beautiful blonde with an
amazing Brazilian body is the thing that gets your bell ringing, well, Recife is
the place to be. There are a few truly gorgeous women here, you won’t believe
your eyes.

Erotic Night Life

There is definitely a lot of action here. Boa Viagem is the place where you meet girls Women in Recife are not as accustomed to dealing with tourists so they may seem a bit stand offish but don’t worry, the working girls are all on programas and they definitely know how to treat a
tourist looking for a good time.

Secret Therma

Av. Conselheiro Aguiar Av. Conselheiro Aguiar youíll see a club called ìLuck Clubî in big red on your right. Next store is a Therma and the night I was there I was the only customer and maybe 5 girls. Two were cute and we had lots of fun just chatting and never pushed for drinks or nada. The price was 100 R for a hour of massage and sex and I convinced the mamasan (or whatever they are called here) a special -- two for 140.00. As you can imagine, double the pleasure :-). The only problem is if you walk this at 9:30 PM or later you will have passed maybe 50 street girls and by that time youíll already be taken and you never make it :-). PERSERVERENCE!!!

For a complete listing of termas, casas and bars/clubs and street corners to meet the women of Recife, join now!

Street Scene

The street scene here is a thousand times safer than that of its larger
counterparts in Rio and Sao Paulo. The Avenida Conselheiro Aguiar is parallel to the Boa Viagem beach. At night until dawn it is full of prostitutes. Every second street corner has a group of 5-10 girls, some of them very attractive. Asking price R$50.- (US$ 45). You can get them down to R$40 or even R$ 30 Prostitutes seem to be on the entire extension of Av. Conselheiro Aguiar. Mainly they are on the 10 blocks before Sampa Night Club You can actually meet a half way decent girl
and take her back to one of the many hotels off the street. You can get all the
action you want for a mere $20 Reales. Its worth it but you have to be somewhat
patient and particular since the street walkers have been known to lure men and
steal their possessions. Also, their are more risks of hooking up with a “dirty”
garota and bringing home an unfortunate souvenir. You have to be careful no
matter where you hook up but especially on the street.

There are some other options if you would rather have the women come to you. Join now to discover the best of the Recife escort services.

Weather

The weather here is perfect for a poolside party or a walk on the beach. It does
get pretty hot during the summer months, so less is more and because this is a
big beach town, all you’ll really need is flip flops, t-shirts, shorts and
sunscreen.

Eateries

The seafood here is definitely worth trying and some of the regional dishes are
also worth sampling. There are your typical Brazilian restaurants as well as
international spots that serve Italian, German, Japanese and Portuquese cuisine.
Prices are reasonable and for the most part, you can eat a nice size meal for
only $10 Reales. Not bad for some quality grub.

Intro

Belo Horizonte, a very modern and industrial city is usually visited as a
stopover point for travelers going from Rio to Brasilia. Belo Horizonte (pop.
2,017,000), called Belo or Belzonte locally, lies in the center of the country's
most important mining area. It probably doesn't warrant more than one full day
and night to see its highlights. Belo is known for its hearty cuisine and
beautiful women.

History

Belo Horizonte is little more than a century old, founded in 1890, and was
shaped by the innovative ideas of "progress" that emerged with the new Republic.
Belo Horizonte was the first of Brazil's planned cities and is arguably the most
successful. As late as 1945 it had only 100,000 inhabitants; now it has well
over twenty times that number (forty times if one includes the city's
metropolitan hinterland), an explosive rate of growth even by Latin American
standards. It rapidly became the most important pole of economic development in
the country, after São Paulo, and while it may not be as historic as the rest of
the state it's difficult not to be impressed by the city's scale and energy.

The People

The gorgeous women in Belo Horizonte are a mixture of Portuguese, Indian and
other Euorpean cultures. You will find your real blondes as well as your exotic
dark beauties. You will definitely find a woman that suits your taste and your
sexual appetite, its all a matter of time.

Exotic Nightlife

Unlike Riio, Belo Horizonte’s nightlife does not consist of termas. Here you
will find various night clubs and strip clubs where professionals and
non-professionals alike come together to party the night away. You can meet some
incredibly hot women all who want to play with you. It’s not hard to find a
gorgeous garota in this amazing city, you just have to step out of your hotel
room, they’re everywhere. There’s a scene in Belo Horizonte that is unlike any
other. In a small section of town near Sao Paulo Street, you will find a myriad
of small hotels where you can go “shopping” for a sexy little midnight snack.
You walk up the stairs and find two floors of rooms with about 10-30 rooms on
each floor. Every girl has her very own room and if she is available to party,
her door will be open and she’ll be lying on her bed partially nude. If the door
is closed, she is either busy with another client or is not currently working.
The prices are more than reasonable, they are downright unreal. You can have the
girl of your dreams for a mere $10 Reales. Not every woman will be a drop dead
stunner but with a large variety of small hotels such as these, you will be sure
to find someone who gets you hot in all the right places.

Weather

Cool weather is one of the great things about Belo Horizonte. The cool climate
is so refreshing compared to the hot and humid climates of Rio and Sao Paolo.
Because of the cooler climates, you’ll want to pack jeans and sweaters and keep
the shorts to a minimum. Overall, the weather is beautiful, some of the best in
the country.

Eateries

The highlight of eating out in Belo Horizonte is the excellent selection of
comida mineira restaurants serving the state's regional specialities, but there
is also an excellent range of restaurants serving up international cuisine,
ranging from inexpensive Lebanese, to pricey French, Italian or Japanese.

Badejo, Rua Rio Grande do Norte 836, Savassi (tel 031/3261-2023). Considered the

Intro

Located south of Sao Paolo, Curitiba is a well-established city offering some of
the best travel experiences Brazil has to offer. Over 2 million people call
Curitiba home. Some of the best transportation systems, cleanest beaches and
Gorgeous European-looking garotas can be found in this lovely southern Brazilian
city. Even though it does not compare in terms of night life and women to its
larger counterparts- Rio and Sao Paolo, Curitiba has plenty to offer those who happen to pass through this southern city.

History

Founded in 1693 as a gold mining camp, Curitiba was of little importance until
1853 when it was made capital of Parana. Since then, the city’s population has
steadily risen from a few thousand to a few million. It is said that Curitiba is
barely a Brazilian city at all. Most of the inhabitants are descendants of
Polish, German, Italian and other European immigrants who settled in the city
and in its surrounding villages.

Curitibanos

Most curitibanos heavily resemble eastern europeans due to their ancestry. If
your preference tends to lean more towards the lithe blondes than the
full-bodied mulatas and morenas found in Rio, then Curitiba is definitely the place for you. The exotic nature of these incredible beauties is something you have to experience for
yourself. No doubt that some of the most beautiful women in Brazil come from Curitiba.

Exotic Nightlife

Curitiba’s nightlife ranges from decent to incredible but due to the smaller
size of the city, expect to do a lot more digging than you might be used
to. This is not a city supported by tourism, so there aren’t elaborate sex palaces or termas or any sort here. But Curitiba’s sex scene is active, you just have to know where to look.

Weather

Unlike Rio and Sao Paolo, Curitiba is much colder and wetter. From the months of
April to September, be prepared to bring cold weather clothes such as; jackets,
sweaters, boots and gloves. It can snow since Curitiba is on an altitude of 900
meters and is about an hour ride away from the beach. It does warm up in the
summer months, but not nearly as much as it does in Rio or Sao Paolo but don’t
fret, the cooler weather is definitely refreshing.

Eateries

Given Curitiba’s prosperity and its inhabitants’ diverse ethnic backgrounds, it
comes as no surprise that some of the best restaurants in Brazil are located in
Curitiba. Some of the best Italian, German and Japanese restaurants can be found
here as well as the traditional Brazilian fare. You’ll have more than your share
of places to eat and all for a reasonable price. Everything in Curitiba will
cost you considerably less than Rio or Sao Paolo.

Hotels

As always we recommend the Parthenon flats for great rates, liberal policies regarding guests, top notch accommodations (the rooms are spacy like small apartments) and centralized locations.

But you can find great deals on some of Curitiba’s best hotels. From first rate to
economic, there are a wide range of hotels, all made to fit in your budget.

Salvador is the capital of the state of Bahia. Salvador was the first major port
and the capital of colonial Brazil for almost two centuries. In Salvador, more
than anywhere else in the country, the African influence in the makeup of
Brazilian culture is readily visible, from then spicy dishes still called by
their African names (caruru, vatapa, acaraji), to the rituals and ceremonies of
candombli which honor both African deities and Catholic holidays, to the
capoeira schools where a unique African form of ritualistic fighting is taught.
The population of Salvador is around 2,250,000 inhabitants. It is also the home of the best carnival in the world. Millions of people flock to Salvador each year to witness and participate in the spectacle. It is truly an awesome thing to be a part of.

History

Salvador's history dates back to 48 years before its foundation, with the
discovery of Todos os Santos (All Saints) Bay in 1501. The bay was used as a
harbor and was well-located becoming one of the best-known and most visited
places in the New World. In 1550, the first African slaves came from Nigeria,
Angola, Senegal, Congo, Benin, Ethiopia and Moçambique. With their hard labor
the city prospered.

The People of Salvador-Bahia Brazil

The mixture of African, Portuguese and Indian produces some of the most
beautiful dark skinned beauties you can imagine. Women with exotic features and
strong sumptuous bodies. Salvador is where the majority of Africans settled and
most of the women here are dark, sensual and very sexy.

mounted on trucks. An estimated two million people daily, enjoy the party in an
atmosphere of peace and harmony. They dance to the music blasting out of the
sound trucks, wherever they are. The largest popular festival in the planet and
one of the world's largest outdoor events, Carnival is broadcasted live by major

Eateries

Through the exotic mixture of African, Portuguese and Indian cultures came a
sumputuous cuisine that is not only delicious but world reknown. The Indians
contributed manioc and corn, which they used to make many of their dishes and
fermented beverages to go with them. The Portuguese brought sardines, codfish,
meat stews with vegetables and fine sweets to the region. Finally with the
arrival of black slaves, the Bahian cuisine was introduced to the malagueta
pepper, okra and palm tree oil. Out of this unusual ethnic mix was born Bahia's
cuisine , comprising nearly 50 different dishes. However, a majority of this
diversity comes from the African culture. Some of the most famous dishes are the
Acarajé, Caruru, Mungunzá, and Shrimp Bobó. Salvador also offers some wonderful
culinary delights outside of bahian cuisine. There are various international
restaurants and some regional restaurants as well. Some of the best restaurants
in Brazil can be found in Salvador. Prices are very reasonable.

Weather

Salvador is a typical tropical city with hot and moist weather. With 2465,9
annual hours of sun and clear skies all through the year, Salvador is one of the

The People
The women in Fortaleza are an exotic mixture of Indian and Portuguese, a
combination that definitely rates high on our list. Like most towns in Brazil
people here are really friendly and most of the girls here are non-pros, just
cute brasileras looking for a good time. If you are tired of dealing with pros, then Fortaleza is the spot. While there are definitely pros here, you are more likely to find the Brazilian equivalent to our girl next door. This is probably one of the reasons it is quickly becoming a hot destination for the single male traveler.

Erotic Life
Prices are incredibly cheap here for the quality of the talent. Non pros and pro,s alike party together and everyone you meet is available. The top price I’ve been quoted by two 18,s was BRL 150 these were two spectacular models one blonde the other bruunette. But that’s another story. In terms of the action in Fortaleza, there aren’t any termas or boites worth speaking about, but you can still find plenty of fun.. Again, there are not as many professionals, instead there are many young women willing to make your trip a memorable one. The action in Fortaleza depends on the night of the week.

coconut milk, lime and cilantro broth,or a wide range of fresh seafood--all to
the sounds of live music.

Weather
The Northeast of Brazil is hot, humid and doesn’t get nearly as much rain as Rio or Sao

time of year to visit is October through February. Remember, our winter is their

History
Rio is a city full of flavor. Being one of the largest cities in Brazil, Rio is packed full of history, culture and recreational activities. In the year 1502 Portuguese explorers sailed to Brazil.
André Gonçalves, a conquistador founded the bay today known as Guanabara. He mistook the bay to be the mouth of a river. River is Rio, in Portuguese. The month he founded the "river" was January (Janeiro) and he concluded that Guanabara Bay was Rio de Janeiro or "River of January!" Rio has quickly emerged as the cultural capital of Brazil. The exotic population in Rio comes from the mixture of various cultural backgrounds including African, Portuguese and Native Indian. African rhythms, Latin heat and European influence all come together to create a sumptuous melting pot that boils to the brim with raw sexuality.

Cariocas
"Cariocas" is a term you will hear and come to adopt once you set foot in Rio. "Carioca" is the Portuguese word for a woman from Rio. Rio is a city with millions of Cariocas to satisfy every man's taste. Everywhere you go, you're bound to see some of the hottest women alive and no you're not dreaming, they really do exist. If your preference tends to be the dark, exotic voluptuous types a la J-Lo, then you'll be more than happy with Rio. Most women in Rio have profound "bunda" and small firm breasts. If you're an ass man, you'll think you died and gone to heaven. These women's bodies look as though they were carved out of marble, perfect, smooth and tight. There are also the tall, fairer, supermodels types a la Gisele even though they are more abundant in cities like Sao Paolo and other southern regions. All in all, it's virtually impossible not to find the woman of your dreams.

Termas Exoticas
After you've checked into your hotel and had a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants on the strip, it's time to hit the streets and get ready for some hot Brazilian action. One of the must-sees on your list of hot spots has to be to visit a Brazilian terma. There are various termas to explore all depending on your tastes and how much money you are willing to spend. In case you're wondering, a terma is a club where you go to meet beautiful, exotic women and enjoy a multitude of sexual experiences all for a fixed price paid at the door. One of the amazing things about the Termas is that you will see guys of all ages, walks of life, and nationalities coming together to experience the best "bunda" Rio has to offer. The air of brotherhood is reminiscent of an exclusive men's club. It is truly astonishing.
Join now for a list of some of the best termas in Rio:

Depending on your budget and your taste in women, you're garunteed to find a terma that suits both your wallet and your libido.

Nightlife

Boites- clubs

Another common place to search for that girl of your dreams is in the "boites" over near the "Lido" area of town. These clubs (or "Boites") open relatively late and feature some exotic dance shows. There is usually no cover charge but you must pay a barfine to take a girl out. Discover the best Boites in Rio in terms of value, quality of available women, operating hours and what to expect when you meet a Brazilian girl at one of these places.

Club Help
Everybody knows where Help is. Help is ground zero of the evening sex scene in Copacabana. Rumored to be the largest disco in Latin America, it is the favorite hangout of workingwomen in Rio and the men looking for them. Located on Ave. Atlantica, a block from the Othon Palace Hotel, Help gets rocking after midnight, and the crowds don't get heavy until about 1:30. You'll see it all in Help: mostly the good, but there are also the bad, and the ugly; from the sublime to the absurd. But it's all good. If you're looking for someone to spend the night with, this is a good place to come. It is VERY easy to have a 100% success rate for "getting lucky" if you frequent Club Help.

The Street
Avoid the women working the street along Av. Atlantica in Copa. Most are IV drug users, many are transvestites, and a high percentage are HIV+. Many of their customers find themselves robbed and beaten by a nearby pimp. Pickpocketing is rampant. If they approach you, head the other way. Just say no. Really!

Escort Agencies
There are dozens of escort agencies through which you can book girls for a few hours during the day or evening. Many have web sites where you can check out the girl's pics (usually minus views of their faces). Many also have books of photos, so you can go to their offices and select a girl from the book. Most agency staff members only speak Portuguese, so arranging something by phone can sometimes be a challenge if you don't speak Portuguese. The prices vary considerably, but you can often find a beauty to come to your hotel for two hours for between 130 and 250 reais. Try to find a deal like this in New York!

Weather
Rio de Janeiro is both hot and damp and no its not because there are too many nearly naked bodies writhing about. Because Rio is on the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons here are reversed, so be sure you're planning your trip for their summer, which is our winter.
There are definitely more sunny days than rainy days. Summer is definitely Rio's most popular season. Temperatures begin to sour around October, and tourists begin their summer vacations around mid-December. All in all, less is more in terms of clothing so pack light and brings tons of sunscreen if you burn easily.

Sight Seeing

Sure, you came for the women, but Rio has so much more to offer. In Rio you can have your cake and eat it too, so try to enjoy the sights. Among the things you should consider doing at least once:

 Visit the Corcovado "Christ the Redeemer" Statue. The views of Rio from here are astonishing!
 Take the cable lift up to the top of Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf). City views from here are also breathtaking!
 Visit the Jardim Botanico (Botanical Gardens)
 Take a long walk in the Tijuca Forest (which contains a rain forest and lots of interesting wildlife.)
 Visit the "Hippie Fair" in Ipanema on Sunday,
 Watch a sunset from the Arpoador Rocks or from the top of the hill in Garota de Ipanema Park.
 Eat feijoada at the Casa de Feijoada in Ipanema.
 Rent a bike and ride along the ocean on Sunday when the main beach roads are closed and all of Rio seems to take to the streets,
 Visit a "rodizio" style churrascaria (Marius or Porcao are my favorites).
 Visit a samba school or go to a samba show (Platforma is a little touristy, but the show is great). The Brazilian women featured here are TOP NOTCH. Don't miss this. Trust me!
 Take a "favela tour" and see how many Cariocas (the people of Rio) actually live their lives.
 Go to Maracana (Brazil's shrine to soccer) and watch Brasilieros pursue their national passion.
 Visit one of the big shopping malls (Rio Sul or Barra Shopping).

The list could go on and on. The point is, you'll actually have more fun if you dig deep and taste all that Rio has to offer.
