OLÉ BRAZIL
Traipu Eco Hostel
From big name sporting events to backpackers looking to experience its famous party spirit and scenery, Brazil is so hot right now. The country’s YHA network is also in the spotlight, with several new hostels opening in top travel spots. The capital, Brasilia, can now boast its first truly world-class hostel, with the opening of Hostel 7. The 38-bed hostel’s all-ensuite rooms give Concept Design design nods to the 60s and some of Brazil’s famous sons such as architect Oscar Niemeyer and artist Athos Bulcão. Impressive facilities range from the standard communal lounge and kitchen, 24-hour reception and airconditioning, to freebies like breakfast, Wi-Fi, and coffee (brazilian of course), and even added extras such as Cable/Apple TV, bike rental and video games. BOOK Brazil’s largest city, São Paulo, welcomes centrally-located Okupe Hostel Jardins, NOW on famous Avenue Rebolledo, offers incredible value for money, while the beautifully converted mansion, Traipu Eco Hostel, in the city’s green Pacaembu neighbourhood will also organise cultural, artistic and therapeutic courses for guests. Three of the country’s biggest destinations are also getting in on the act. Manaus Hostel, is the perfect base to explore the mighty Amazon River and the jungle city of Manaus. Rio de Janeiro’s best street parties, nightlife and fabled beaches are just minutes away from Caipi Hostel. It promises free Wi-Fi, breakfast, city tours, plus free nightly caipirinhas. We are especially excited about the new Concept Design Hostel. Located 100 metres from Cataratas Avenue in Foz do Iguaçu, the main corridor to world wonder, Iguaçu Falls, this 24-hour, eco hostel offers hotel standards at hostel prices.
