Bikers' hostel in Foz.
There's also been a hostel started specifically for bikers in Foz do Iguazu recently, you can get in contact with them through their site at www.bikershelpdesk.blogspot.com, I don't know what they charge for a night but the guy Rodolfo, gave me a lot of help when I was in Foz and buying a bike for this trip.

We stopped off at a new spot just opening in Foz, and it's good. We stayed in our truck, but there was a also a biker from here (Mika) staying at the same time. It's secure, decent sized yard with good gates, clean and near to all the stuff you need (Supermarket, Laundry, pizza, .....) The owners are bikers, and know their stuff when it comes to helping out on just about anything bike or paperwork related to the borders.

We did a blog post on Foz it was so good!.

You can get them at iguassutravellershostel at gmail.com, or you can contact "Iguassu falls Quati" on the hubb.

Bike-Friendly Hostel in Foz with a splendid host!
Joe's "Manga Rosa Hostel" is tremendous. You can park your bike in the yard, there's a cinema and multiple gaming consoles. The house is large and also offers several comfort suites among the dormitories.

Joe and his wife own the place and are very hospital, always in good mood. I lived here for a week, a friend of mine for a month. We felt like having a home!

They want to focus a bit more on motorbikers, so give it a try. Absolut recommendation!!

Joe's hostel
I second the Hostel Manga Rosa, on the Brazil side. Its my third stay here, I like it so much! They have all sorts of roooms; dorms, private rooms, bunk and double beds. Some rooms have air conditioning. there is a kitchen, cooking utensils, BBQ, microwave, its own mini cinema with hundreds of films to watch. There is ample, secure parking for dozens of bikes in the gated yard, and two motorbike workshops are within walking distance, along with a small supermarket and bars big and small. If you prefer a hammock or pitch your tent, that is ok too. And for me - a welcome change - hot showers that actually are hot, and free and fast wifi that is really fast. The owner Joe speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish (and some Guarani!) and there are three pet dogs and a friendly cat, a pool table and even an old arcade video game machine that works. Address is Av. Florianópolis, 1118 - Jardim Santa Rosa, Foz do Iguaçu. GPS co-ordinates -25.4909981,-54.5736947, or click here for google map directions. If you check their reviews online, its all good among backpackers and cyclists, but the owner wants to attract more adventure moto riders. By the way Joe is a keen chess player, if you can beat him he gives 5% discount on your first night.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
