Immediately after xmas, you will find the saunas have almost returned to normal. Many of the guys who work the saunas go home for the holidays but come back shortly after xmas. Not all guys leave for the holidays.
Lagoa is usually filled with garotos as is Fragata.
Whatever you do, don't use an agency for hiring in Brazil. Agencies are fine for many other countries. However, you could be very dissapointed and ripped off if you hired from an agency.
Brazil is unique. In the saunas, what you see is what you get (usually). If someone goes wrong, you have the security of the sauna.
From the web (agencies) what you get may be a photo of someone else or a photo that is many years old. With language issues (unless you speak Portuguese) how will you get out of a negative situation once the person shows up at your hotel, sight unseen beforehand?
You realize that your are asking about the peak of summer in Brazil. Therefore, it is HOT in more ways than one.
