http://www.happyriohostel.com.br/index_us.phpIf you think to go for South Region the best option is Santa Catarina state, have many paradisiacal beaches and have many options and attractions, to be honest with you I preffer Santa Catarina beachs and city than Rio de Janeiro.
How go to Santa Catarina from Rio? If you think in most cheap the best option is Bus, but if you think in conffortable and fast book a Flight from Rio to Florianópolis - SC. n Brazil we don´t have rail/train for long travel around country... is insane I know...
