BARRACO #55 is a cultural incubator and hostel at the same time in Complexo do Alemão, one of the biggest favelas (slum)of Rio de Janeiro.
It’s a house where travelling artists and culturally interested people can exchange culture and knowledge with locals in order to get to know the local reality and learn from one another.
Our rooms are very simple, but comfortable, with shared bathrooms.
Attention: Note that Barraco #55 is located about 40 minutes from the city center and the beach. The area has only been \'pacified\' since short and the situation between police and locals is sometimes still a bit tense. To avoid any problems, we therefore ask our visitors to act respectfully and open mindlessly to the people of the community.
If you have to cancel your booking, you must do it at least 48hrs before arrival.
