Hostelling Information

Country Overview

Hang-glide over some of the world's most fashionable beaches; see anteaters and jaguars in the wild; master the rhythms of the samba; play 'futebol' (football) with the locals. From thundering rivers to breathtaking cataracts, vast untrodden rainforests and sandy shores stretching further than the eye can see, Brazil is a land of superlatives. And the Brazilian people themselves are as colourful and exuberant as their country. Rio de Janeiro is almost legendary for its vibrant, party mood as well as its spectacular location between hills and sea; Salvador da Bahia resounds with music and is filled with historic buildings; and for all its perfectly preserved colonial heritage, Olinda is bursting with vitality. This ebullient country's hostels are well positioned to take in the zest of city life as well as the natural wonders of the Iguazu Falls, the glorious coastline and the wildlife-rich wetlands of the Pantanal.
