In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorisation, a judicial authorisation is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before travelling for more information.

Little residential hostel with great breakfast
We were in Floripa on a long layover. We opted for the private room so it was more like a B&B than hostel (but they do have shared bunks). We aren't familiar with the area so walking down a residential street felt a little odd but we didn't come across anyone unfriendly. The owner is very nice and the breakfast she made was awesome!

A localização é incrível, próximo a Lagoa e com muitas opções de restaurantes e comercio ao redor além de feirinha de artesanato durante o final de semana.
É possível chegar a algumas praias de ônibus ou carro de forma rápida e barata.
O hostel tem um clima ótimo, a Lilly faz com que a gente se sinta em casa, o café da manhã é realmente muito bom!! Certamente voltaremos no Mama Africa na nossa próxima visita a Florianópolis! Vale a pena!!
