Canoa Quebrada Hostels
While it is not quite the Hostel paradise of Jericoacoara, it is a great spot for a comfy beach vacation.

You can come at Iguazu (Iguacu) from either the Argentine or Brazilian side, and no matter what side you stay arrive on, you can choose either side to stay on. Either way the falls are a highlight of any Brazilian vacation.
Foz do Iguacu
The airport is 16km outside of the centre, and there are flights to Foz from all over Brazil, the majority from Rio de Janeiro,...

Canoa Quebrada is stunning. The sand cliffs, the white beaches, they are the jewels of the North East and they are well represented here in Canoa. With stunning sunsets, friendly locals and great hostels and restaurants, it’s hard not to fall in love with the village.

The restaurants are so good here people usually find favorites in their first few nights. Get out and experiment! Don’t forget to try the Brazilian favorites...

The party starts early in Jericoacoara, and it goes all night. It’s not hard to find people in this little village and the caipirinhas flow freely! The parties often spill out on to the beach and the music will keep you going all night long. For a such a little village Jeri parties hard! A beach side nap is great for next day recovery.
