Our time in "The Treehouse" was truly phenomenal. Beatriz was warm, welcoming, and a generous host. Even though we were lost on our way to the place, she went out of her way to come find us. Upon entering the beautifully quaint abode, she greeted us with a bountiful array of local fruits. It wasn't long before we became acquainted with the small family of curious yet skittish Marmosets that make the trees outside their home (with a banana offering you may earn their trust). We adored the atmosphere that this place had. It's truly like being in an urban forest with the sound of the rain pattering on the roof along with the startling crack of occasionally dislodged fruit from the monkeys. The location is prime. Only 5 minutes by taxi to the world-renowned Copacabana beach front.
I can't emphasize enough how perfect this locale and its hostess are.
