Property Information:

The Safari Hostel is perfectly centered in town, offering access to every quarter of Rio de Janeiro. Right at the access of Christ Redeemer Road which is mid way between Alto and Santa Teresa, we are within a mere 15 minutes of downtown and it subway stations, whether it�s Santa Teresa�s Restaurants, Barra da Tijuca�s beaches or shopping malls, Copacabana�s boardwalk, the beach and bars of Ipanema, or the nightlife of Lapa, Leblon and Tijuca; it�s all quickly accessible from our doorstep. Many magical waterfalls, fauna and flora that cover 3.5 million hectares of rich Atlantic forest surround our unique location right in town.

Home of the hang gliders launch point The National Park of Tijuca is a haven for all adventure-seeking people, and their diverse sports. Some of the activities that can be done within The Park or just near by include hang gliding, skating, hiking, rappelling, trekking, climbing, mountain biking, surfing, kite surfing, body boarding, diving etc. Just inside the town.

Founded in an 1850′s coffee depot and lodge, the building remains intact and preserved from the days when the Viscount of Mau� had its steel beams ordered from London and assembled in Pra�a Afonso Viseu, where, still surrounded by the great mansions of the age, the house served as a meeting ground for coffee farmers and traders. Adorned by the natural beauty of Tijuca Forest, the point rapidly grew in popularity. Today, at the entrance of Tijuca Forest�s National Park, the house has been refurbished to the most modern of standards. With its comfortable and acclimatized rooms the house once again comes alive to host your every desire.

    Fantastic hostel!! The only downside is that it is quite far out of the centre but the public transport is easy, reliable and safe to use. Plus we stayed during carnival so staying outside the centre meant getting a decent sleep!! Paolo and his team are brilliant. I have stayed in many hostels and this one was the best. They can\'t do enough for you, and really treat you like family. So much so that when I was ill they went to the pharmacy for me. I can\'t rave about this place enough!!
