Drift and season

Every signal points one way: June 2026 field notes say women who asked R$150–200 two years ago now ask R$400–500, and the price hierarchy between termas has blurred as rotation between houses speeds up. At 4x4 the April 2026 report reads a thinner line-up than the 2025 season at higher prices, with weak weekday traffic noted in June. Carnival (February–March) multiplies everything 2–3× while supply spikes — women arrive from all over Brazil for the carnival weeks — and the same notes put the off-season 50–70% cheaper. The beach layer itself is de-concentrating: Posto 5/6, the classic Copacabana pick-up stretch, has dispersed across the beach and into the apps.

How we get these numbers

• Every figure is a range from many independent reports — never one guy’s story.
• Prices enter the database with a source date and remain available as they age.
• The same segment is tracked district by district — the spread between areas is often the real story.
• Dollar amounts are rounded on purpose (rate date below): enough to plan and compare cities — the exact, dated local figures come when you ask.

What moves prices here

• The format multiplier — the same service costs R$60–120 in Vila Mimosa, R$250–350 in a privê and R$400–1,000 all-in in a terma: choose the format, choose the band.
• The Carnival switch — February–March doubles or triples everything (a R$300 session becomes R$600–800); visiting outside Carnival saves 50–70%.
• Payment friction — cash is the base, Pix is common, cards are rare and surcharged: Monte Carlo adds R$50 to a card-paid programme.
• The premium drift — Centaurus moved from R$730 to about R$1,100 an hour in six months; mid-tier asks are up 2–3× in two years.
