A block inland from Jabaquara beach, friendly Canguru offers a varied collection of doubles, six- to 12-bed dorms and campsites surrounding a sprawling enclosed yard. Barbecues, dance parties with live bands, and shots of gabriela (cachaça with cloves and cinnamon) from the in-house bar keep things hopping, while the free laundry service is one of several homey touches.
