Travel Agency in Rio- Great Prices

[Guest Tomcal_]

Guys, I started looking for hotels for this upcoming October trip to Rio about a month ago, and checked many of the hotels, as this trip I am not using "points" for a free stay at the Marriott as i have done in the past. this agency got better pricing by quite abit on hotels that i had checked room rates on through the net. They respond rapidly and seem to be very customer oriented! They also can arrange airport pickup and any of the side trips like rain forest, diving, etc.(all the things that LAShowbiz likes to do instead of Sex!}>

Heres the info:

email - hotel@ipanema.com ph. 55-21-2521-0673

Fax 2513-3776

I forgot to add, they got us the price on the hotel guaranteed in Reyas, not dollars, so since we booked the room rate has gone down!

Obrigado, Tom! I appreciate your writing what you did. From my excitement and anticipation, I had forgotten to do so! Some of my tours have been booked with this firm (in dollars) but extremely reasonable. Also, my major stay at a hotel was done through this agency. I'm pleased, for the amount is in reais, not dollars.

 

p.s. ...will ring you a few days before I leave. Thanks again for all of the information you have given over all of these months. It does not seem that I have been writing and planning this trip for almost a year! I'm a little embarrassed...:-)

I'm going in November; if you October travelers have good tips and contacts once back, I'd appreciate hearing. (I was in Prague and it seemed all Americans came to Drake's looking for "Lukas", I assume in Rio, it's "Bruno Gaucho"?) If you do meet Bruno, tell him to stay put.

Not sure if this is the correct thread to post but - am I the only one that didn't know about http://www.cuecaserecheios.hpg.ie.com.br/

Great website. Thanks

Am sooo sorry - http://www.cuecaserecheios.hpg.ig.com.br Not "ie".

Just checked it out!!

Jivau, I clicked on the address, but it came back as "server not found". I did it twice. What I shall do next is finish; delete; then type in what you have provided.

Axiom, I just checked it out and got thru without problems. The first address I gave was wrong. I typed "ie" instead of "ig". Using ig I got thru. Thanks Jim

RE: Fashion Vocabulary

 

Jim, the corrected URL works great.

 

For the Portuguese-challenged: "Cueca" = "briefs;" "Recheio" = "stuffing" or "filling."

 

So this is a site for those turned on by a well-filled pair of briefs.

 

BTW, "boxer shorts" = "samba-canção" (God only knows why!) "Sunga" is a brief speedo-style swimsuit, but can also refer to similarly styled underwear. "Sungão" is a big sunga; i.e. the newly fashionable square cut speedos.

Thnak you tom_cal!!! Will be using this site for hotel and airport pick-up. I will be down there also in October, and e-mail my finding to one of these posts, or start a new one.

Tri, Thanks. Even though I "scored" through that site, I didn't know what it meant. Should have known - he DID have stuffed briefs! Thanks Jim
