You’ll need a nice place to crash after windsurfing and drinking caipirinhas on the beach all day! There are plenty of hostel to choose from, but these are our favorites. Remember that hostels can get very pricey during Brazilian holidays, Brazilian Vacation...
Morro de Sao Paulo is known for its nightlife, so you can expect to find at least one good party every night of the year! That said, high season is definitely when Morro’s nightlife really gets pumping and the beach parties go all night long, with capirinhas flowing freely and music pounding into the early hours of the morning.
