Returned from 13 days in Brazil. Exceeded expectations.

Accommodation:
Guesthouse near the main area. $63/night. Quiet area but close to the action.

Scene:
Quieter than I hoped but still good. Prices were slightly higher than expected.

Quality:
Better selection than last time. Had 7 encounters total.

Logistics:
Rented a motorbike for flexibility. Food was cheap and delicious.

Safety:
Used common sense and had no problems.

Overall: 7.5/10. Solid choice, will be back.

Happy to answer any questions.

Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $80/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.
