Here you will be in close contact with nature. In the immediate surroudings you will find: Pedra da Gavea, Pedra Bonita (Famous for its hang gliding and paragliding ramp), waterfalls and the beaches of Sao Conrado and Pepino.

Vila Canoas is a special 'favela' nearby the famous 'Rocinha', which is the biggest favela of Latin America. It is located inside the Atlantic Rainforest. Here you will find the authentic 'carioca' lifestyle, filled with parties, in a safe and simple environment.

With a maximum number of 3 people per room and different decoration in each one, you will find very nice and confortable accomodation for a very good price. We have a B&B - Home Stay structure, allowed to the independence of being in different houses spread by the community (A small 'favela' with 3.000 people). Discover the real simple and typical life of people who were born and leave in Rio de Janeiro.

We invite you to get to know the real day-to-day brazilian life and make many new friends.
