Took a quick trip to Rio October 19-23. Stayed at hotel Pestana which is right on Atlantica Ave in the Copacabana area. Great roof top view with pool, bar and restaurant. They have parties there Friday and Saturday night. While they make you check in a girl when you bring one in there is no extra charge. Highly recommend.
Went to two termas, Monte Carlo and Cancun. Monte was ok although I did a hot blond each time I was there. Cancun was PACKED with hot girls. Unfortunately this was because the week before 4 x 4 had caught on fire. Three fire fighters died fighting the blaze so I expect it to be closed for some time. Both were cheap door, girl and a drink were both less than $150 US for an hour.
Have an under the radar agency I use and if anyone goes and would like the number send me a PM. Great rates, $350 RL for two hours. With the exchange rate at 4.10 for the trip that was like $85 US for two hours.
Totally safe trip although I stayed in the Copacabana area and took a taxi or Uber everywhere.
I used a GlocalMe portable Wi-Fi with a Claro sim card and had Wi-Fi the whole trip. Sim card only cost $70 RL which was like $17 US. If you travel internationally to Brazil or Thailand I strongly suggest a GlocalMe G4 portable Wi-Fi unit.
All in all a great trip.
