Accommodations
ELI is proud to offer options in both world-famous Rio de Janeiro and the culturally rich city of Curitiba. The program fee includes accommodations with a local family. Host families live in nicer neighborhoods, have full western style amenities, and provide breakfast daily. Please note that in Brazil the main meal of the day is typically lunch. The only exception to this set-up is the wildlife program in Curitiba. Participants in the wildlife program live together in the on-site guest house with full western style amenities and shared rooms. All meals are provided on-site by a nearby, simple restaurant.
