PURA VIDA HOSTEL
Pura Vida Hostel is the only hostel in Rio de Janeiro with the charm of a medieval castle. We have many options to choose from in regard to collective dorms and private rooms and all of this can be enjoyed in a beautiful grand space with unique architecture and intricate woodwork.
We are located in the best spot of the South Zone of Rio, only one block from Copacabana beach, about a 10-15 minute walk to Ipanema beach, and a 2-minute walk to the public transportation of your choosing (bus or metro).
Here we do everything with Pura Vida flare and that includes our parties, always frequented by Cariocas looking for a fun time with live music, DJs, and cool people.
Come experience Pura Vida!
