Okay, finally ... I found an e-Mail address for the VSF Brazil desk, and someone read it.  My document images have passed quality control.  Now it's on to Consular or other approval.    

Hey all.  I've been travelling around a fair bit in the past few weeks, so thought I'd share brief reports in the next few weeks on my experience at some of the places I travelled to. I was in Sao Paulo and Rio recently (you may have seen me posting a couple of weeks/months earlier asking questions on Rio). As a disclaimer, I was actually more occupied with non-sexual touristic activities (which I will not bore you with), so there's probably not as much I can report on regarding the sex scene.  Sao Paulo I was here just for 3 nights (weekend) and stayed at Intercity The Universe Paulista - close enough to walk to Av Paulista but far enough to not be troubled by noise etc. I had no problem bringing in a guy (without registration) much like most hotels Thailand. Garoto com local - I only hired one guy from the site who came to my room. A little on the higher end when it comes to fees - BRL 500 but I think it was worth it. The guy is a professional model, tall, muscular, masculine and gay. Told him what I was into and he was able to do all of it. I had a good time with him. The models on the site that I contacted mostly quoted prices between BRL450 and 500 (with one quoting BRL 800 and some didn't even reply). Lagoa - this is the only sauna I went to during my short time at SP. I went there on all 3 nights (around 8pm) and found there to be a good number of guys on each night, a good mix of different types of guys. I had one guy here, muscular top straight guy but can kiss, do foreplay on top of the usual sex. He quoted a higher rate when he approached me but agreed to BRL 200. There were a few other guys who approached me with the same rate, but I either didn't have the time on this short trip or the guy was just not my type. One of the guys asked me to join him for drinks at a nearby bar after Lagoa lol. All in all, I found most of the guys here to be quite relaxed and friendly.

You'll get two large towels and a pair of slippers. Tips to the guys you take are paid in cash separately to the guys and the other payment for drinks, rooms etc. will be paid at the counter either by cash or credit card).   Apps - there are a lot of guys for hire on Grindr. I've had a few chats but didn't really hire anyone there.   Rio I was in Rio for 4 nights during the weekdays and stayed at Grand Mercure Copacabana. Prior to the trip, I contacted the hotel to enquire on their visitor policy and they confirmed that I can have visitors at the room but the visitors will have to register at the reception. Unfortunately, I was not able to test this out as the guys I had were all at the saunas.   Clube 117 - I went here on Tuesday and Thursday around 8pm. While it is obviously more crowded on Tuesday with guests (free rooms), I found that on both nights they have a good selection of guys of different types. I had two guys here on separate occasions, each for BRL 200. Both were muscular tops with good physique, handsome looks. The 1st guy was unfortunately not a good experience for me. We had used the translator to communicate what I was looking for and he was ok with it but during the session, he said he doesn't do certain things. When I showed him our earlier translated conversation, he insisted it wasn't what I understood it to mean. Not sure if it was a genuine miscom or just him being sneaky but I cut the session short and just paid him his fees to save myself the headache. Fortunately, the 2nd guy was better. He was upfront about what he can and can't do, and I had a good time with him. He was more passionate during the session and was overall a pleasant guy (during and after the session). At both session, the room was not really cleaned properly that the models had to call for one of the guys working there to change the sheets etc. (Info for 1st timers - you collect your locker key at the counter.

Point 202 - I was here Monday and Wednesday nights around 8pm. Some similar faces seen at 117 but generally I find the selection of guys to be more limited. I didn't take anyone from my visits here though so I can't report on the rooms etc.(Info for 1st timers - you collect your locker key at the counter.

At both saunas, they had good drag shows during the time I was there. I like the overall floor setup of 117 (sauna/steam room and shower at lower floor, bar and porn room/lounge at separate sections of the ground floor, and other rooms for fun at the top floor) compared to Point 202 (you'd need to cross the bar to go the top floor where the sauna is). Apps - there were a lot more guys for hire and normal guys just looking for sex that contacted me. Compared to SP, I find the guys on the apps in Rio to be easier to approach. That's pretty much it on my report for this trip. Hope it'll be helpful to those making their way there. I'm already making plans for my next trip to Brazil 😬
