A sanctuary just outside of the hustle and bustle of Rio. I stayed in the luminous suite and opted in for the daily meals with Juju and her family. The food is beyond imagining -amazing! I’m inspired to continue eating vegan now! The pool is fantastic and views are great. I felt right at home as soon as I arrived and met Juju. I feel like I’ll back very soon! Thank you for all the care and helpful tips!

SOULREBEL Río ha sido uno de los lugares más hermosos que hasta el momento conocí de Río de Janeiro. Su vista increíble a la ciudad, sus pistas para ir caminando o en bici y hasta llegar al Cristo Redentor, la mata inmensa, y la naturaleza hacen que todo sea perfecto. La atención de Juju y Jessi son superlativas, llena de cariño y hospitalidad. No solo lo recomiendo sino que considero que un "must" en cada viaje a Río. Gracias por todo Juju! Hasta pronto ❤️

Dit is de perfecte manier om je thuis te voelen in Rio. Met een unieke workshop waarbij ze je meeneemt op een speelse en open manier door de geschiedenis van dit land. Wat een kennis heeft deze vrouw! Ze weet je tot in detail te vertellen hoe dit land is samen gekomen en de kookworkshop maakt de cirkel rond want eten en drinken verbind. Even mag je een kijkje nemen in het leven van een ‘local’. Op een prachtige berg ben je welkom in haar huis en eet je na de workshop gezamenlijk met het gezin aan tafel. Hoe geweldig is dat!! Vooraf zijn we samen de markt over gegaan waarin ze je meeneemt in haar kennis en kunde. Ga je van alles proeven en krijg je meteen een goed idee van de lieve Brazilianen, culturen en hoe heerlijk hier het eten is. Wij hebben dit cadeau gekregen van vrienden en dat is ook zeker een tip voor wie dit leest. Je kan iemand niet blijer maken dan een geweldige herinnering geven in dit prachtige land. En het jezelf cadeau doen is altijd de beste optie!! We komen elkaar graag weer tegen ❤️ Ps, deze wereld vrouw spreekt ook nog eens verschillende talen dus daar zit altijd wel een taal bij waarin ze jou welkom laat voelen.
