Brazil is one of the countries with more
options for tourists to enjoy, and it relies on a great network
of private hostels and touristic assistance agencies to cater
for the needs of its visitors. Young tourists, particularly backpackers,
will have a chance to discover Rio de Janeiro’s geography
and natural beauty, including its enormous beaches with crystalline
waters, and numerous hills covered with forest plants, as well
as the magic of an awesome city, full of great bars, discos and
restaurants.

In the 50 kilometers of beaches Rio has to offer, there is something for everyone:
calm bays, huge surfing areas, crowded places and desolate spots. You can visit
a completely different beach each day of your stay.
Of the several tours available, some are not to be missed: Pan de Azucar, El
Corcovado and its Cristo Redentor, the Favela Tour, andthe Maracana
Stadium (especially if there is a soccer match being held). Other great
attractions include practicing with a scola do samba (traditional groups
of carnival dancers), doing hang-gliding and joining a favela funky party,
apart from the traditional city tours and mulato shows.

Rio de Janeiro is an amazing city for the independent tourist, particularly for
young tourists. It has the best inexpensive accommodation options and a great
variety of recreation alternatives: it’s non-stop fun day and night!
Our newest Che Lagarto Hostel will be located at Ilha
Grande, a true
paradise on earth on account of its crystalline waters, excellent scuba-diving,
virgin forests, desert beaches, boat trips, water sports such as wakeboard and
water-skiing, a small fishermen town that any backpacker would love, and much
more.

Further down south, in the city of Parati, Che Lagarto Hostels Parati offers
you the calmness needed to rest from vertiginous Rio, or to try something different
before heading back home. A picturesque, Portuguese-style colonial city full
of historical places and artistic spaces, Parati is a destination that you cannot
miss.
