Our Surf Camp / hostel is a spacious surf style designed house just a 2 min walk from the beach Macumba and surrounded by Coconut Palm trees, tropical plants, with many birds, butterflies and monkeys passing by the trees in front of the house. Its the perfect spot to relax in a hammock after a day of surfing and other adventures.
We are centered in the middle of 7 different surfing beaches, making it easy access by foot, bike and car. We are located in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, on the outer skirts of the Rio City, 40min down the coast from Ipanema. Its easy to access by bus, taxi, or we can arrange you a pick up with our driver.
Its organised by young Surf crazy travellers, (Katrina) New Zealander and (Mauro) Brazilian. Both being well travelled surfers, they have put this interesting house together for you to fall in love with surfing. "Our house is your home while you stay with us in Rio and enjoy the feeling of living and surfing in Brazil, we live in this area for a reason that you should experiance".
This area Macumba and Recreio is ranked the best and most consistent surf beaches in the Rio City, and is to hold in 2008 the Girls WQS (world top 44 surfers comp) . Close to the Surf Camp is the secluded beaches Prainha and Grumari which have amazing jungle mountain backdrop with no development, and on a hot weekend day, are the favorite hangout beaches for surfers, famous actors, and Brazilian hot bodies. Grumari is even the spot where the beach scene from the movie City of God was filmed. These are the safest, cleanest and most relaxed beaches and the only Surf Camp in Rio de Janeiro.
