Termas Kabalk

Termas Kabalk is a discreet, clean men-only gay sauna in Rio's Zona Norte, near the Maracanã Stadium in the Tijuca area, a little off the usual tourist track in the city's cultural heartland. Compact and straightforward, it offers a dry sauna, steam room, a bar, a video room, a darkroom, private rooms and massage, with cards accepted. It makes a point of being a rent-boy-free venue, drawing a friendly, local, mostly all-ages crowd who come for the relaxed, no-pressure atmosphere, and is open every afternoon into the evening.
