I just realized I made a mistake in the headline, but I cannot edit it. @TotallyOz, would you be so kind to edit the headline and switch it to Nov 24/Jan 25, please? My mistake may trigger confusions. I am back in Buenos Aires, after a month in the Corrientes region, ready to add a few more tips to this thread. As I said before, you can skip it if you are looking for paid sex information. As expected, prices inside the country are considerably lower than in Buenos Aires. Grindr works very good ion Argentinean NE, if you are patient with faceless profiles, as homosexuals are still very discreet. I hooked up a couple of times, and in my interactions I was never asked for money. My profile has updated pictures of my face and my body, although I am not honest with my age (I say I am 56 😇). Yet, a lot of young guys contacted me always for not transactional sex. If you happen to arrive to Buenos Aires via Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, avoid the line to take a taxi cab, as you may stay there longer than you did in your flight. Just go straight to the right end of the taxi cabs deck and you will arrive to the Uber pick up spot. Currently, Uber is fully legalized and the best option. In my previous visit, in June/July 2023, I spent about 40' in the taxis line. Yesterday, it took 3 minutes to be picked up by my Uber driver. I have been walking a lot this weekend in Recoleta, Barrio Norte, and San Telmo. The city is empty, as the locals who can afford it are vacationing somewhere else. I loved the city with less people. However, the touristic spots are still crowded. I was wrong when I thought foreigners would stop coming over. I just returned from the street fair in San Telmo, and it was packed. Most of the visitors seem to be from Brazil ad the US, but I also recognize a lot of Europeans and accents from several LatAm countries. My reports about prices in the OP are still current, as well as my tip on using your CC. The country is not the ridiculously cheap opportunity that was until Dec 2023, but if you research and compare, you will still find excellent opportunities in restaurants, cafes, and bakeries. 

no truer words were ever written here. Since it was on open waters quite possibly it could be legally qualified as piracy

Update on this guys - while I was away in CDMX Uber contacted me to apologise. Don't know why. It was out of the blue. Possibly their internal review? They offered me 300$ USD per night as compensation plus a full refund and the apartment will no longer be offered. I asked if someone else had had the same issue and they couldn't answer.

Just come back from a trip from Mexico City so I thought I'd give an update. Arriving at the airport there are self service passport checks at the border. As you come into arrivals - turn right and you'll find the official taxi payment processors DO NOT go outside and get your own taxi. It's about 300 pesos to the city.  I stayed at the Sheraton for 9 nights. I had no problems bringing guests back. This is a decent hotel and I was upgraded from a Corner Suite to a Malmaison Penthouse Suite.   Bars are relatively conservative I went to the following: In the gay area: Blow Bar - 150 pesos cover charge. This is 70% women to 30% men. GoGos are hot but they keep their shorts on the whole time. The women here tend to be a bit screetchy and scream when the guys dance. Marikoteca - Unsure of the cover charge because it was 250 pesos on NYE. This used to be kinky bar - 50% to 50% men and women. The women here are different, chill, don't scream etc. Again GoGos are hot but stay in shorts. Drag show is maximum effort - one bitch was waltzing round in a ball gown. Workshop/ El Taller - 100 pesos cover charge. Drag show; no GoGos but the staff are really the nicest in the city. Chilled out. Macho and King/ Papi Fun bar* - No cover charge, no menus and no show; these are scam bars. Do not go to them. You will pay prices similar to Los Angeles. Sauna Olympio* - 250 cover charge, decent enough gay sauna and bathhouse. Outside the gay area: Tom's Leather Bar - 250 pesos cover charge inc. five drinks. Guys dance with hard ons in the two bar areas. They do this every half hour from 10:30 for 15 minutes. The crowd and the staff are good fun here. Worth the Uber with one caveat - I'm a smoker when on a night out so I didn't mind but the guys here smoke in the main bar which wouldn't be ideal for someone with respiratory problems. Near the historic center: Funny Love Cabinas - 100 pesos cover charge inc. one drink. This is cabins in a sex shop. You go in and take the elevator to the 2nd floor. The guys stand around the Cabins. There is a show here (full sex) but they don't give out the details. It just happens. Sexto Piso - 150 pesos cover charge. Most difficult place to find. In the same street as Funny Love you go into a building and it's on the 6th floor. Staff very nice. Cruise club with light room and dark room. Guys fucking all over. Cine Savoy - 60 pesos entry. Old fashion sex cinema. Anyone can get it here. It's packed with about 100 men. Things to be aware of: Gringo prices - You will pay gringo prices in a load of bars. I've put * next to the ones I paid extra in. This can be anywhere from an extra 100 pesos in the sauna to an extra 100$ in Macho and King bars. If they won't give you a price list, just walk out. HOWEVER, if you chose to be taken to a table by a waiter and they run around after you and look after you all night expect to pay about 20% for drinks. I didn't mind at all because I took it as a service charge but if you're on a tight budget go to the bar yourself. Uber - Uber is 99% safe however, do not come off the main drag or the busy areas to make it easier for your driver. This leaves you vulnerable. The concierge told me that occasionally an Uber driver accepts and if the area is remote, they send friend to rob the gringo waiting for them. The metro - If you want to get flashed at, or see someone suck off a random guy - use the last carriage of the metro from Cuauhtémoc to Hidalgo. The street scene - Not my thing but there are a few guys who look too vulnerable to me but they offer sex for less than 10$. These are not in much evidence but they are occasionally available and always on Hamburgo Street between C.Ambrese and C.Varsovia. Closed bars - old favourites BoyBar and BotasBar are perminantly closed.  Honestly - I'll be back to Rio for my next adventure. CDMX isn't a lovely place but fun.
