You need to do a teensy bit of work on your own, Blackjack. Look at the FAQ postings on this board, and use the "search" function within the Escorts South board to search for key words like "Salvador," "Bahia," "Costa Rica," "San Jose," etc. Or just browse through the past postings (just go the many previous pages of postings by clicking on the page numbers at the top and bottom right of the page). There has been lots of information posted here already, all of it at your disposal. Once you've looked over the existing information, if there are any questions that haven't been answered, feel free to ask them here. One of the old Brazil or Costa Rica hands will undoubtedly answer.

I spent one week in late August 2003 in costa Rica. Mainly in San Jose. Carlos at Joluva House can be helpful with advice, but not about rent-boys. Well, I did not ask his advice in this regard.

Puchos is a strippers bar, where reportedly the boys strip to complete nudity with hard ons on stage. Many strippers were there when I visited on weekend, but I saw no full nudity before I left before midnight. Many boys offered me a "massage" at my hotel, maknig me think that they are also rentboys, but I declined. I was not in the mood to get some unknown guy to my hotel room. I saw no rentboys in the 2 saunas I visited, Paris, and Hispalis. The latter is much larger, now with restaurant, bar, and possibly dance area that were opened the weekend I was there. Many hot Latinos, but they are no match to my favorites, the Brazilians.

In summary, Costa Rica is a very beautiful country naturewise with very rich flora, and fauna, and many hot Latinos, though I had no experience with rentboys there. It is worth visiting, but not a match to Rio or Brazil. Hence, I'll be on my way to Rio soon. I'll not get there till after the M4Mer Party on October 24. So, I'll miss seeing Tomcal in action.... Hopefully, he would not exhaust all the boys in Rio, and some would be still willing to have fun in Novemebr when I get there. I am eager to be in Rio again..

 

Well, I thought of adding some helpful links and info.

Joluva House is a small gay hotel in north of downtown San Jose, very close to Paris Sauna http://www.gaycostarica.com/paris/index2.html (which is not a very interesting sauna). Joluva House is not a luxury or upscale place. There is no phone line in the rooms, so do not take your laptop with you. Here is a link to its site: http://www.joluva.com/ It has a link to a very helpful map of downtown San Jose with gay points of interest.

La Avispa http://www.costaricagay.com/laavispa/index2.html is very nice dance club south of downtown. Latino dance music is mainly played along with North American. It is very crowded early evening Sundays (As early as 7 PM) and Tuesdays evening.

De Javu http://www.yourdiscodejavu.com/Default1.htm plays more "American" dance music than Latino. I did not visit it.

Puchos http://www.puchosnightclub.com/ is a bar with strippers. Most from Nicaragua, Panama, and colombia. some native "Ticos" as Costa Rican call themselves. It is close to La Casita, another stripper club that i did not go to.

Hispalis http://www.saunahispalis.com/ is a very nice sauna with no rentboys, with new disco and restaurant that just opened in August.

I hope these links would be helpful to newbies to Costa Rica. Veterans, I am sure do not need them
