ive been to both floripa and porto... porto alegre is definitely not a beautiful city... if youre going, the cheap hotels are concentrated around the bus station (centro) and its really grimey. the padre chagas area is like the soho of the city, and wednesday nights there is a bar there called cafe moinhois which is filled with hotties. thursday to saturday head to cidade baixa, where there are a bunch of cool places to have fun at. a pretty laid back vibe can be found at bongos where live bands play reggae and a big beer costs like 2 bucks. floripa is too spread out and expensive for my taste, but the beaches are the most beautiful in the world. go there WITH a girl, not to meet one.
if you wanna be a novelty, why not take it a step further and head to pelotas, near porto alegre in the same rio grande do sul state. the city is not only known for being stacked with gauchas lindas, but most of the guys in the city are gay!!!
if you go to porto alegre, definitely check out an internacional or gremio game... the first night of my trip there there was a copa libertadores game between the two, and it was sick!!!
ask a girl: "voce e' gremista?"
bottom line: head to porto alegre over floripa, but if you head to a smaller-scale place like pelotas you will be treated by the gauchas like a celebrity
