Pousada das Missões

Top choice in Rio Grande do Sul


Student groups often utilize the separate dorm-style accommodation at this HI hostel, but more discerning travelers will be comfortable in the private rooms, each labeled with a Guarani name and accompanying explanation. It is located on well-manicured grounds just behind the archaeological site; follow signs from the entrance.

Showers are solar heated and there's also a new cafe serving light meals and snacks.
