Iguazu Hostels
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.

Ilha Grande does not have a vast selection of restaurants, in fact they are about as sparse as anywhere you can go in Brazil. That being said you will be able to find some great authentic Brazilian cooking here and many Ilha Grande Hostels have close by restaurants or their own food. Enjoy the experience!

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 Jangadas in particular are a special sight doting the horizon, as are Canoa’s...

Jericoacoara is full of hostels. There are not many places you can stand in the village and not see hostel. As a result, their are some great choices available. The hostels listed here are mostly on the smaller side, and since it’s not hard to find a party in Jeri, that usually gives you a more intimate experience. That being said, we love a good party hostel. Here are...
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, began as a small fishing village before it transformed into the surfing...
