Brazil, the largest county in South America and the Latin American region, has a great deal to offer its visitors: foods such as Paçoca and Brigadeiro; sports like capoeira and football; and local attractions like "Christ the Redeemer" monument and sex -- by way of prostitution, "dating," or the country's unsanctioned brothels.

Prostitution, itself, is legal in Brazil. There are no regulations set in place to forbid adult prostitution, however organized activities such as pimping and brothels are illegal. Nonetheless, these facilities do exist and many take advantage of them. Most recently, 19-year-old Canadian pop star Justin Beiber is one of those people, according to reports.

One of Brazil's most popular brothels, Centaurus, was the locale for Beiber's presumably salacious outing. The "Baby" singer was said to have spent three hours in the brothel before he was photographed leaving the brothel, wrapped in a white bedsheet to mask his identity. The star, who was supposedly kicked out of his upscale Copacababa Palace hotel room in Southern Rio because fans were causing a "security issue," reportedly left the brothel with two unknown women, who covered their faces as they were transported to his hotel in a different vehicle.

Beiber's bodyguards apparently sprayed paparazzi with water, deter them from photographing or to keep them from getting closer looks. But, any doubts of Beiber's identity are relinquished by the fact that his distinctive wraparound wrist tattoo and his signature sneakers were visible in photographs. Also, Beiber's security team confirmed that it was him.

Beiber was in Brazil as a part of his "Believe" tour, which endorses the 2012 album of the same name. It's Beiber's second concert tour, and he's expected to perform in 150 cities. He performed in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3, and he will be in South America until mid-November.

Named after one of the largest constellations, Centaurus Brothel charges an initial fee of $210, which grants access to any of the women in the facility. Brothels, also known as termas in Brazil, are facilities that house sexual activities in exchange for cash, and are often a safer alternative to prostituting on the street.

Like Bangkok, Thailand, many men often go to Rio de Janiero simply for sex.  Tourists arrive and exchange cash for services, or sometimes "courtship" or "dating" for sex -offering women dinners, dates, material things and promises, rather than strictly cash. Often, the promises made to these women are marriage, and happy and safer lives in other countries.
