Curitiba or Florianopolis or Belo Horizonte

[endlessdream]

Hey guys. I promise I’m not a lazy ass. I have read almost all posts about these places. Never the less, I’d love to have a more summarized recommendation on which one to visit for the first time for let’s say four for five days from SP, both in terms of boys (free and gp) and tourism attraction. Thank you so much.

If you are traveling now, perhaps you should drop Florianopolis out of your list.

Scary but I’m going in one month. If it doesn’t calm down there, I suppose the whole Brazil will be infested anyway.

Curitiba

Heard from someone in the forum that Sauna 520 is closed. That was the best GP-mixed sauna in Curitiba (in my opinion). That leaves maybe 2 more saunas with GPs if I am not mistaken. Club 773 (bar e sauna) sometime has a couple of hot GPs but the whole place seems pretty empty the few times I visited. Maybe I visited on a slow day or time. The other sauna (Opiniao) is a bit run down and I only visited once. Oh and Shopping Curitiba toilet is very cruisy.

Floripa

No sauna with GPs but plenty of fun to be had at the nude beach sand dune and bushes. Non GP Sauna Termas Oceano is worth a visit. A lot of hot young locals and tourists from Argentina (at least the one time I was there)

Belo Horizonte

I will be there for a week this April.
As far as I know, there are only 2 saunas with GPs. Sauna Olimpo and 1097. They are like scaled down 117 and New Meio Mundo and that's me been generous.
For non GPs sauna, I like to go to Sauna 24 Horas (I think the name has changed) and Tres Chic. There are quite a few more saunas in the city.

Great question, I'm booking my trip and was thinking the same thing. Curtiba, Florianopolis, or Porto Alegre.

[buttercawan]

Initially I was thinking of Recife but the flights from CGH/SDU to REC in April are a bit high. They are even more expensive then to Fortaleza. 

I wouldn't mind paying the extra if I know that it'll be worth it but some of the comments here seems to indicate that it's a hit or miss. Maybe next year's trip.

As for the Curitiba, Floripa or Porto Alegre, I recommend including the weekends in your trip(s).

I went to Recife last year. The beach there is beautiful because it features a reef and it has a small town vibe. If you are looking for GPs it is not so great. There are not that many GPs and the saunas are empty. Fortaleza has more GPs even though it is still way more limited than SP and RJ. The saunas in Fortaleza are atleast full to semi-full. I would skip Recife because it is very limited in activities to do.

One thought about city selection:

Almost every time I've gone to Brazil, I've visited SP, Rio, Porto Alegre (see my recent post here), plus one new city. Over the years, this has been a great way to explore this huge, fascinating country.

So I've been at least once to Manaus, Belem, Fortaleza, Natal, Recife, Fernando de Noronha, João Pessoa, Salvador, Brasilia, Belo Horizonte, Ouro Preto, Curitiba, Floripa, and several more. I do not regret any visits, except perhaps boring Vitória. 

I still want to visit Bonito, Goiânia, and a few others.

But back to your original question: Of those three, I'd vote for BH

I have been to Fortaleza. Had lots of fun in California Thermas. Dragon Club is beautiful but there are not many GPs there. Client-client action is pretty good though.

[endlessdream]

Thank you guys. I finally decided to visit BH this time, mostly because Hilton Garden Inn there only require 40k points for five nights. That’s like 26 dollars per night, with all diamond benefits! Lol. Who doesn’t like a bargain? And all in all, it’s a good compromise of many factors mentioned in the posts above.

Please do post about your experience in Belo Horizonte. I am heading down to Brazil next Saturday and was thinking about doing a side trip there on my visit to SP. I'm very curious about the quality and quantity of GPs.

I'll be staying at Royal Center Loudres in Minascentro next door to all the actions. No issue with visitors when I stayed there a couple of times.

I would rate Curitiba's quality is slightly better. Met the most gorgeous guys there. But it was at the now closed Sauna 520 so I don't know now. Maybe they'll move to Club 773 or Opiniao? I hope so. Would be good if someone who visited recently can verify that.

Belo Horizonte's quality (Olimpo) is alright too for me personally. I reckoned on average maybe there are 3-5 guys that I like. But attraction is subjective so your mileage may vary.

That is exactly my assessment of Olimpo too.

One additional interesting feature about Olimpo is the low-key client-on-client action.

In each of my three BH visits (typically six days each) I've been shocked by attractive younger (nonGP) guys — who must be borderline blind — who wanted to go to a room with me. That has happened to me once per week so it is not a nightly miracle but quite memorable nonetheless.

Lots of that client action starts is in the dark room at the back of the sauna, rarely in the steam room.

Yes. The small partition in the porn room at the back. They also like to hide there peeking at the GP jerking their humungous dick watching porn.

[Xclay]

Good point. Yes, I forgot to mention that location!
I was referring to a different place: the small "dark room" at the far side of the sauna room in Olimpo. It is easy to miss.

I was in BH in October last year.  Olympo is dead, very few GP, and none attractive.  I didn't go to 1097, I have been there a couple times before Covid, the facility was disgusting, and the boys are all thin/skinny "street boy" type that never go to gym.  There is no good night life options either.  But the local people are very warm and friendly as always.

May I ask when did you make this trip to Olympo, BH.  I like Olympo before Covid, but now the boys quality had gone down hill tremendously.

I bet 99% Gp there in California and Deagon are black with huge dicks.

My last BH trip: November 2022. 

Totally agree with you that 1097 is "disgusting."  A couple of nights Olimpo is closed but 1097 is open (Mon/Tues?). In November I went to 1097 just to see if anything had changed. It was even worse than I remembered.  I left after ten minutes.

Regarding Olimpo, we may not entirely agree — or we may have different preferences. And, to me, the scene and GPs varied a lot from night to night. As I recall, Friday and Saturday were the best.  But, of course, you never see the large numbers of GPs at Olimpo that populate SP or Rio saunas on the right nights.

Actually in October 520 was still open, BUT they don't admit GPs....

From google, it looks like it is renamed (new owner?) to Domo 520 (https://domo520.com/)

You did not consider Balneario Camboriu ? No sauna but lots of young guys everywhere

Xclay, I tend to do the same and during each trip, I try to discover a new place. There is so much to discover in Brazil. Spending some time in Amazonas or in Pantanal is really awesome ... but boyless (there are a couple of saunas in Manaus). Travelling in Minas Gerais outside of the very well known cities (BH, Ouro Preto, ...) is also amazing. It is a totally  different Brazil : I discovered recently the "montanhas cafeeiras" (moutains where coffee grows). Amazing ! 

I still have quite a lot to discover ...

A miss, though a weekend.

In a few minutes I’ll edit/add my flight and apt costs. I had maintained my Rio apt for convenience and had a longer stay discount on it anyway. Cleaning fees will often ding you as well, so often best to keep a place on a burner thru an excursion elsewhere. 

Azul SDU-REC BRL1500

Apt 4 nights BRL2100
