Tetris Container Hostel

Top choice in Foz do Iguaçu


Brazil's coolest hostel is crafted from 15 shipping containers – even the pool is a water-filled shipping container – and makes full use of other industrial by-products as well, like sinks made from oil drums. Colorful bathrooms brighten the dorms (a four-bed female plus 10- and 12-bed mixed) and the patio/bar area is tops. Adorable staff to boot.
