Quito, and Ecuador as a whole, are still entrenched in the dogma that shouts “gay people are sinners.” Imagine my surprise when on a Tuesday afternoon I ventured to Spa Bambú and was met with some horny, aggressive, Ecuadorian men. I couldn’t believe how many sinners there were!
As one of the first to arrive I got a discount on my entrance fee . The guy at reception was real nice and seemed very pleased to have a gringo at his establishment. I was given a towel, asked my size (shoe not penis, oops either way I still don’t know centimeters), given some sandals , and a key to my locker.
The locker room shares its open space on the first floor with some gym equipment. A staircase leads to 2 more floors of fun. The open floor plan makes it easy to watch guys take off their clothes, which is a very good thing. Up the stairs on the second floor are showers, the steam room (vapor) and dry sauna.
The communal showers that line the far wall are fun. The men of Quito are quite shy or maybe it’s just that they’re a bit more discrete so it was nice to see guys fondling each other openly and soaping off. As is my routine at a bathhouse, after showering, I headed right for the steam room.
Hot action happens in the quite large and really steamy vapor room. The invisibility from the steam allows the shy Ecuadorians to come out of their shell. Not long after entering and taking a seat, a large uncut dick was being jerked right by my face and I couldn’t let that pass me by without giving it a taste. Next thing I know I was on my knees sucking away as another guy played with my ass. All this drew a crowd and guys got real aggressive but not having a condom I put the kibosh on that and decided to check out the dry sauna.
Smaller than the steam room but still a good size the dry sauna was a bit more relaxed. Two guys were chatting and the others just chilling (it was more brightly lit). As I was enjoying the heat, the guy with that massive uncut cock came in and sat right in front of me. I couldn’t resist and started to massage him which led to some stroking.
The one downside to this bath house is that there really isn’t any private places to play. There is a bar, video room, hot tub and massage rooms for hire but no individual rooms to play in. This was fine for me but for the shy Ecuadorians the only place they felt comfortable doing much was in the steam room. Sooooo, it was back to the steam room (with condom this time) with my uncut Ecuadorian for a nice long, well you know.
Bambú Spa is a great option to pre-party while bar hopping around Quito’s La Mariscal district It’s surprisingly clean and the showers had hot water (a rarity for many bath houses in South America). The guys though a bit shy, are definitely there to play so it’s a fun atmosphere. Definitely recommended by this Gay Gringo!

What’s the crowd makeup here? I’m 43, HWP but have a little beer belly – are there normal people here or is it all really well worked out and fit folk?
Thanks for the review 🙂
Hey Bud thanks for the question. You should feel right at home there. There is definitely a mix of guys that go there. Some days the entry is cheaper too if you’re one of the first to arrive. Expect some working class type guys, young guys, and older guys. Not many gringos there at all which makes it even more fun!
Hey, any ideas where I can go to get a decent M2M massage in Quito?
Hi Marc thanks for reading, in Quito you will be able to find a guys at the bath house who you can hire for m2m massages. have fun!
Hi there! I’m going to Quito next week and I won´t spend too much time there. I’d like to know if this is the only gay sauna you visited in Quito. You know if there are some other? Which one is the best?
Pd: I really like your post.
Greetings from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
Hi thanks for reading! No this is not the only bath house , but we think it to be the best one, as it’s in a safe area, lots of guys and clean and good facilities. Enjoy! and keep reading!
Hey, what time did you go? What’s the best time to go?
If you’re one of the first 10 there, you get a discount, there are plenty of guys there during the afternoon, of course with more guys coming in throughout the day.
I live in Quito and have been to Bambu about 4 or 5 times. There are now private areas to play in. Right next to the dry sauna there is a door that says “Vestidores” (Changing rooms). These are actually private rooms that are free to enter.
I have also been to every other gay sauna in Quito and have regularly done m2m massage both in saunas and at home. If you have any questions then don’t hesitate to ask.
Thanks for the great info Rob!
Hey. There used to be a Colombian guy who gave m2m massages in Bambu. Would you happen to know how to contact him? Or any other m2m masseur that you reccomend in the other saunas or elsewhere?
Hey Enrico, not sure who that would be at Bambu…
Hi Rob, wanna do some m2m massage? I´ll be in Bambú next Saturday Dec. 10th.
Hey. There used to be a Colombian guy who gave m2m in Bambu but he does not work there anymore. Would you happen to know how to contact him? Or any other m2m masseur that you reccomend? Maube in the other saunas o elsewhere?
Hi guys. Do you know if you have to get a membership to get in? How.much is the cost if you are not a regular customer?
There is no membership cost, not sure of current price but it is cheaper if you go earlier. have fun!
The current cost is about $9 I believe. No membership required.
Yes I believe that’s about right Rob.
Hi guys…I really enjoyed your sauna. As I am into mature guys it was some of them quite hot in the day I went.Is there any particular day or time when I can find mature guys?
If you want mature men, try Jinetes, It is not quite as nice of a facility, but the hot tub is large and the audience is more mature.
I´ve been there several times during the last years, mostly wearing a skimpy white g-string which gets transparent when wet, to show off my gear. Especially my well defined bare dickhead (I´m cut) attracts many glances, as everybody in there is uncut. Enjoyed lots of fondling in the video lounge, the steam bath, and finally got totally relaxed after a tremendous BJ in the dark steam bath.
Next time is gonna be different: I´m wearing three Hafadas (rings pierced in my ballsac) now, which I wanna show off. So I´ll be wearing the small towel they offer, which I´ll take off in the Sauna, the jacuzzi, the steam room and the dark steam room, to be totally naked. Also when watching a video, the towel will automatically be pushed aside by my growing boner, to show off my piercings. Same when sitting on a chair, stool, doing some workout in the gym, or laying down on a deckchair, my balls will be hanging out of the towel. I´m also considering wearing my cockring, which enhances my balls even more. BTW: it´s gonna be on my birthday, so I don´t pay entrance… a free treat.
Sounds like you had a great birthday!
You bet I had!
Hey guys, thanks for the helpful review. My partner and I went to Bambú on a Tuesday at about 3pm for a bit of fun. There were only about 4 local guys on the premises, looking, waiting for more trade to walk through the door.
My initial thoughts on Bambú were how cold and brightly lit it was in there. After showering we walked around exploring the other floors, then sat down in the bar area and had a beer. The metal chairs were like sitting on ice! The small spa pool looked inviting, but the water was barely warm and I couldn’t stay in there for more than a minute. Like a cool bath, really, and not too comfortable on a cold day in a cold venue. They need some heating in there or something. Even trying to sit on the metal chairs in the video room was uncomfortable.
A few more locals arrived and we ended up in the dry sauna, sucking each other off as a local guy watched and tugged his thick uncut cock. All I wanted was to taste it, but he was timid and happy to watch from a distance.
Eventually we ended up in one of the wet saunas, the dark one with two rooms. All the guys ended up loitering in there, fooling around and very intrigued by us two gringos openly sucking each other off, waiting for someone to come over. Amazing how timid and shy they can be.
I moved away from my partner and watched from the other side of the room as one guy went over and took my partner in his mouth, sucking ferociously. So hot. Then the big guy with the thick cock from the dry sauna appeared behind my partner, jerking, and my partner laid back and took his fat cock in his mouth. After a minute I joined him, sticking my cock into my partners mouth, along with his. And then I dropped to my knees and took it into my mouth. Wow. Some of these Ecuadorian men have thick cocks. Absolutely delicious.
In retrospect, we should have gone a bit later in the afternoon when more guys turn up after work. More to choose from and more to play with.
thanks john!
Had fun on my birthday, showing off my piercings, and a final countdown in the steam bath. Next time gonna be a little different: I´m wearing a PA now: Prince Albert = a piercing ring in my dickhead. Now see how the reactions on THAT are… I don´t wear the towel, instead I wear a skimpy gauze loincloth, that mostly shows more than it hides…
Last time I went on a Friday. The receptionist handed me a tiny 16″x12″ towel. I asked about the usual big towels. He explained to me that it was Nudist Day, and he´d give me the big towel when getting ready to shower for leaving. The little one just for sitting on. So I didn´t even need to put my loincloth on.
Well, that was no problem for me at all, as I´m an experienced nudist, and wanted to show off my piercings period. At that moment, I was wearing my three 6G (4 mm) Hafadas, and my new 4G (5 mm) PA.
Most guys were shy and walked around covering their genitals wit the little towel, but I enjoyed walking around totally naked, exposing my cut cock with its well defined dickhead and its clearly visible piercings. Well, you can imagine that I was the eye candy of the day, not only cut in a totally uncut environment, but also pierced down there.
In the video lounge I was approached by a guy who started fondling my balls, and told me that he´d like to have Hafadas, too. So I told him about my experiences and my piercing shop in Ibarra. In the Jacuzzi some guys started asking me about my piercings, I let them finger the PA and Hafadas and inspect them closely, and one guy even showed me that he had a Guiche piercing (just behind the balls, between the legs).
As I finally got horny, I followed a guy into the dark steam bath, where he gave my hole a treat with his tongue and fingers, rubbed it with his precum wet cockhead, and finally finished me off with a gorgeous blowjob.
I´m planning to go back next Saturday, to spend the whole afternoon and evening there again, as I have some business in Mindo on Sunday. This time I´ll be wearing my new 2G (6 mm) BCR-Prince Albert. Probably put my Cockring on, too, as at the moment I´m smoothly shaved again.
