Green Culture Eco Hostel (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

About Green Culture Eco Hostel

Green Culture Eco Hostel is the perfect place for travellers who wants to experience authentic Brazilian culture, nature, wildlife and beaches. You will wake up samba tunes from our neighbors' radio, enjoy our spectacular view and watch exotic birds and monkeys from our balcony. Only 10 minutes' walk from Copacabana beach! The Property is located in Favela Chapéu Mangueira and Babilonia, one of the first pacified favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Back in the days Favela Chapeu mangueira and Babilonia was controlled by street gangs, until it was taken over by the police pacification unit project called 'UPP' in 2009 which has restored peace to the community and enhanced tourism. Chapeu Mangueira and Babilonia are now used as an example for other similar projects around the world as a success story. Nowadays there is no safer place in Rio de janeiro than this small community called Chapeu Mangueira; it's like living in a small village where children play in the street and where everyone knows each other.
