Na Praia da Barra da Lagoa (II), by Phydias Barbosa

As I mentioned on part I of this article, if you made a good search, it should be easy for you to find your way around. There are thousands of accomodations to choose from at Barra da Lagoa Beach, located near the beach or the canal. What brought us to Banana Beach Hostel, besides its wonderful location already described before, is the atmosphere around it. I invite you to look to your left as soon as you reach the middle of the bridge when crossing to get to the hostel. From there you´ll see 2 beacons at the entrance of the canal, where small fisherman´s boats make their way in and out of the ocean. Nice view and great scenery. 

"Baja" da Lagoa Beach is an open beach with calm waters. This is because the stream of Canal da Baja brakes de waves, making them quieter and smoother.  Its waters are clean with low salinity - the mix of the ocean water and the Lagoons´s - and the sand is white and fine. Much more can be said about this beach. We´ll get back to it later. Go to part IV. 

At the Banana Beach Hostel:

It´s very common on an average season evening (December-March) the reunion of many different people from distant locations trying to improve their knowledge about traveling in Brazil and the World, speaking English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and other languages. It´s fun to notice how they exchange  info, make new acquaintances and get ready for the next destination. They tell each other about their trips, their experiences, the food they eat, transportation facilities, the best beaches, trails, spots, their diving and that incredible boat ride they had. Many fall in love. Different cultures, different languages and a smile speaks them all. A unique type of behavior you only find at hostels. 

Study your trip, but remember, X marks the spo us. t: Banana Beach Hostel, Servidão da Prainha, Baja of the Lagoon Beach, Floripa. More to come, stay with us. Wait for Chapter III. See you later, alligators...
