Praia da Pipa
Rivaling Jericoacoara for top spot as the Northeast’s best beach destination, Praia da Pipa, or simply “Pipa”, puts up some tough competition. Majestic cliffs covered in tropical vegetation give way to pristine white sand beaches and brilliantly blue waters. Pipa, like most North Eastern beach towns,...

Ilha Grande Pictures
Ilha Grande is hard to do justice on film. The crystal waters and stunning beaches ringed by deep jungle covering rolling hills makes for some of the most spectacular terrain in Brazil. But if we can’t convince you that you need to make Ilha Grande a destination when you travel Brazil with words, we...

Praia da Pipa has a range of hostels, all with relatively good amenities, from guest kitchens, to swimming pools, internet access and games and activities. Since the town is small, it’s fairly easy to walk around to several places to find accommodation on arrival; however, if you’re arriving in the high season, you will most likely want (and need) to book ahead...

Wandering the streets of the Pelourinho, admiring the decaying colonial architecture, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to the 16th and 17th Century! Wander some more, passing rodas de capoeira, listening to thumping African drums, and smelling the wafting odors of aracajé (bean and shrimp fritters), and you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a...

Rio de Janeiro’s hostels and hotels come in a range of quality and price to meet every taste and budget! Rio hostels are some of the best quality you’ll find in Brazil, but they don’t come at the budget prices you’ll find in some of the backwater towns. Even so, Rio hostels offer tons of amenities and are packed with interesting and cosmopolitan...

When visiting Iguazu we definitely recommend staying on the Argentinean side. It has a much nicer atmosphere and some great hostels to compliment one of the highlights of your Brazilian vacation.
Puerto Canoas (Puerto Iguazu, Argentina)
This lovely little hostel is a great deal for travelers on a budget! Quiet and well-run by extremely helpful and friendly staff, and located...
Canoa Quebrada has some great eating options and that’s a must when you are worn out from days of sitting on the beach! You can find a great selection here and most restaurants are only a quick stroll from any of the hostels. We recommend the Argentine steak in particular!
Café Habana
Good hearty cheap eats are served up at this café on Rua Principal. Menu includes...

Rio de Janeiro is one of the world’s great cities, from Corcovado looming over it to the beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. Many visitors travel to Rio only to promptly return home, pack up their stuff, and move here. The beautiful beaches, people, and love for life make Rio hard to resist. Despite a persistent crime problem, which you should always be aware of, Rio is...

Jericoacoara is located approximate 300km West of Fortaleza, in the state of Ceará. Arriving from the East, the bus company Redenção provides at least two daily services to Jijoca, connecting to an overland truck for the last hour and a half of the 8 hour trip (both legs of the trip are included in the price). If you’re coming in late try and book Jericoacoara...
