The Three Best Cities In South America

I’ve been to 33 cities in every South American country except Colombia, Guyana, French Guinea, and Suriname. Even though I’m confident three of those four countries would never make the list, I may have to make an edit to this post some time in the future.

1. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The secret has been out for over fifty years. Yes, Rio has a very serious crime problem and the police won’t go into many areas without armored vehicles and full SWAT protection, but if you’re a guy looking for a sex vacation and you don’t like Asian girls there is no other city in South America that touches your high odds of getting ass here. Pussy doesn’t fall from the sky, as you might be thinking, but the native girls actually like gringos. Even the native guys like gringos. Go out every night, don’t be a wallflower, and you will get to experience what I plan on experiencing again in the future.

juice-bar.jpgIf that hasn’t sold you, how about the a gorgeous backdrop and beach weather nearly year round? Sure the water isn’t sparkling blue, but you’ll be busy on the Ipanema sand angling to get in with the girls in ridiculous bikinis laying next to you.

Low-End Budget: $100-120/day

2. Cordoba, Argentina. The Cordoba tourism agency is going to contact me any day now to thank me for single-handedly increasing tourism to this city by 1000%. I will never get tired of saying that Cordoba has the most beautiful girls in the world. And it’s cheap. And the nightlife jumps. There are no fewer than 30 universities here so good luck meeting a girl over 22. The spinsters here don’t even go out at night because the competition is beyond intense.

A downside of this place is the girls are pretty damn difficult—especially if you don’t know Spanish—but I guarantee you will begging for them when you return home. Their beauty will spoil you until you die. I think I missed American girls for a quick minute until I snapped to my senses: I rather have difficult girls that are my type than easy girls I want to immediately dump after I have sex with them. This is the only place that I talked to 9’s every time I went out, uninterrupted. There is no cockblock brigade in Argentina (or anywhere else in South America). I’ve been back to the States for two months and talked to a 9 once, and I had to compete with only FIFTEEN other guys who felt it was their do-or-die moment.

Low-End Budget: $50/day

3. Merida, Venezuela. I traveled to Venezuela for a random 10 day vacation a couple years back, and Merida is still on my mind. This is like a Cordoba-lite with a large college population that loves to party. I still remember the bar El Hoya de Queque, perhaps the best bar in South America, where I got rejected by my first Venezuelan beauty (9+) who at the time was probably the most stunning girl I talked to. I remember how excited I was just because I had the chance to have a conversation with her.

merida.jpgThe girls are not as hot as in Cordoba and there are less of them around (in Cordoba you walk outside and in two minutes you see more beautiful girls than a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday going out in Washington DC—no exaggeration), but Merida has a fantasy setting on the doorstep of the Andes mountains. There’s a lot to do here like horseback riding, canyoning, nature tours, and riding up the tallest cable car in the world. Too bad for Merida that it’s part of a country ruled by a dictator who is doing everything he can to kill the tourism industry. “Who needs gringos when we have this black stuff that is bound to run out some day!!”

Low-End Budget: $60/day

A few people have asked me about my future travel plans. Colombia is high on my list so I can claim to be a South America girl expert, but I’ve been eyeing Eastern Europe lately, and by eyeing I mean I’m asking guys how easy the girls are in Eastern Europe. Perhaps I’ll visit Cordoba and Merida for a nostalgic return, but Rio is going to have to wait a bit until I get my money right, which is not going to happen as long as I stay addicted to Guitar Hero 3.

which begs the question, now that you’re back what’s the plan for getting your money right?

$100-$120 a day for Rio on a low budget???

I can’t hardly imagine spending that much. Sure, your accommodations will not be the cheapest, but food & beer in Brazil is cheap, during the day you go to the beach and eat more great cheap food. Fruits & veggies are a steal. And at night if you go out to a bar, instead of a club, you don’t pay cover charges, and beer is 3 bucks.

Gosh, in Brazil I even went to great all-you-can-eat sushi places for R$30 per person (roughly 15 dollars). And that’s for eating sushi!!

Roosh - great blog, been reading awhile now. My friends and I do a lot of traveling but have never been to S. America. I’ve been sending them your stuff to make the case.

We have been to E. Europe often over the past 4 years or so. It’s usually 4 to 5 of us, no ‘beta’s’, age ranges of 26 to 34. We don’t stay in hostels and in fact I highly recommend getting apartments while there. Hotels just don’t hold a candle to them.

The women there are simply the most beautiful I have ever seen. Just got back from Budapest about 6 months ago and it was amazing. Prague is the tops for amount of 9’s and 10’s but Hungry, Poland, and Estonia come pretty close. The girls in Prague and Poland are the most friendly. One thing we have learned, the more the country was influenced by the commies the less friendly the girls were. Also, the nicer place you go out there the better chance of hooking up. Hanging out at some normal bar makes it very hard to meet girls due to the fact that most bars like that there has a “locals” only vibe to it. Money talks and bullshit walks is 100% in play there all the time.

You have to hit Prague and Budapest at least once in your life. The beautiful women are only matched by the incredible buildings.

When I see it here on the blog that your going I’ll get you some good spots that are a must.

You remember during the early-mid ’90s how most Latinos in the DC area were Salvadorean? Doesn’t it seem like recently there are a lot of White middle / upper class Colombians moving to the area?

Those girls look nice — tan White girls with big round asses. It’s because there’s a decent sized African population in Colombia, so they’ve probably picked up some big-booty genes from them.

If you love Cordoba so much, perhaps you should learn to how to sing this (hope your Spanish is good enough to get the lyrics…). It is so sad that the the guy is dead now:

Soy cordobés, me gusta el vino y la joda
Y lo tomo sin soda,
porque así pega más, pega más, pega más.
Soy cordobés, y me gustan los bailes
y me siento en el aire si tengo que cantar

De la ciudad de las mujeres más lindas,
Del fernet, de la birra, madrugada sin par.
Soy cordobés y ando sin documentos
Porque llevo el acento de Córdoba capital

You cannot rank South American cities until you have been to Colombia. That’s all i’m gonna say.

April 3rd, 2008

brad - i’m considering a trip to E europe within a few months, especially to the places you mentioned.

how much time there is necessary to get the full experience? what about the language barriers? do any of the local girls view american guys as more than just hookups? how easy is the hookup when you don’t know the language? do you have to know someone beforehand to rent an apartment there?

Outside of Brazil, none of the other South American countries even compare to Colombia in wealth of hot pussy.

Barranquilla or Cartagena.

I came by your blog by mere coincidence and was happily surprised that I agreed with two of your top three cities…Rio which is amazing not only for its scenery but also for the people! And MERIDA - As a Meride~na I am VERY proud to know that you TRULY got to know the real meride~no lifestyle (heck, you made it to el hoyo…can’t get more “tipico” than that! If you go again try las Ferias and La Cucharacha!)… and I’ll have to agree with all that said you’ve got to go to Colombia - Cartagena would be my third choice!

How the fuck can i take this blog serious when you haven’t even been to Sao Paulo. That city mass produces beautiful women like japanese car mfgrs….. You have beautiful asian, jewish, african, lebanese, portugese women all blended into one super bad bitches….

I found the women on Isla Margarita to be the best looking AND the most approachable in Venezuela. Beauties come from all over the country to lay on the beach and have fun, definitely recommend it for anyone planning a trip.

All one has to do is watch the movie “Hostel” to see how beautiful the women in Eastern Europe are (Chezch Republic, Slovakia). Sure, there are a lot of liberties taken by the director but it does feature a few local actresses.

DEFINITELY you are missing out and don’t know shit about hot latinas until you go to Colombia, AND they’re super warm and friendly.

My first choice, however, would be Medellin, Colombia, HANDS DOWN–Cartagena is WAY to touristy, Bogota is too cold (the people are a bit cold and distant–the rest of the country isn’t like that), and I would say Barranquilla would be second on my list, but the weather there can get NASTY (VERY hot and humid).

You MUST do Colombia before hitting up Europe, you’ll regret it if you don’t, believe me!

Cheers,
Shaman

Hey Rooshv I just spent the last 2 hours reading your website and you are dead on with most of ur observations. My buddy & I were in Cordoba 2 years ago bc we heard it had the hottest girls. There def. was a hottie a minute there. We are always looking for what we call “The Source”. the holy grail of cities and I think we found it in Medellin, Colombia. Regular girls there will def let u know there interested with stares. Also try Mar Del Plata in Argentina. Everybody is in vacation mode there. The argentine girls seem to give you more looks there. Keep up the good work

Mas São Paulo é uma desgraça de tudo, nossa…rsrsrs

Haha, that little “restaurant” in the picture in Rio is the one we would go to all the time when we were out there. It was one street down from my friends house right next to Copacobana. The guys there were really cool. And I don’t think the manager ever went home from that place. Every time I went there he was there. He was a funny guy. He didn’t speak english, but he said to my Brazilian friends, “He doesn’t speak Portuguese?” My friend told him that I didn’t. He goes, “Man, he needs to learn Portuguese if he wants a hot gatia!” haha, little did he know.

I agree Brasiliera! Women in Sao Paulo are kunts for the most part. I think most of them are stuck up. And, it’s just a huge concrete jungle. It has a good night life, but Rio is absolutely beautiful and in my opinion it has a great night life, despite what Roosh says. I was there with a bunch of crazy Brazilians I knew from the states though, so I was kind of in well I guess. The kids knew all the good places to go and they made me feel like I was a local. Brazilians are the coolest people in the world in my opinion.

Dude….come to Suriname.
We have the best mix in the world. People here are from Indonesia, Africa, India, China, Europe, Brazil, Native American….
Very nice mixes here.

Girls are easy over here, just tell ‘em you will be living here for the next 6 months (works for me in Brazil all the time, I can get like any girl).

And by the way, Rio is a beautiful place…but it sounds like you have never been to Fortaleza.
Cheap hotels and appartments, and the girls are great.
