This is a big 3 storey house from the 1940s which was redesigned by hostel owner/architect. It is just four blocks from Copacabana Beach in a quiet cobblestone street set up at the foot of Cabrito hill between Ipanema and Copacabana. Either a short walk or a quick cab/bus ride or metro will take you to many day-time and night-time entertainment options.

We offer a friendly and welcoming environment within our facilities. There is great contact between guests and staff, meaning this is a place you can call your home in Rio.

Besides being a warmly welcoming hostel, Rio Backpackers will help you enjoy learning about our Brazilian culture through Portuguese lessons opportunity or Brazilian dancing such as forró or samba.
