Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying Portuguese in Rio de Janeiro. These homes are often between 25 - 50 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about homestay housing

Caminhos Language Centre is located in Ipanema, the most popular and lively part of Rio de Janeiro. The school is situated just four blocks from the famous Ipanema Beach, which means you can come to school wearing your shorts and Havaianas! Ipanema’s metro station, ‘General Osório‘, is only five minutes’ walk from the school. We are in very close proximity to Ipanema’s vibrant scene, including all kinds of cool cafes, bars, and restaurants.
