Accommodations 
(Summit Brazil - January 2015) 

• Accommodations included in the prices listed here. 
• In Rio, the standard housing option is in apartments in the Ipanema neighborhood.  In Sao Paulo, we are in a hotel in "Jardim Paulista", and in Paraty (which is a UNESCO World Heritage candidate site), we stay in a bed and breakfast just outside of the historical district.
  

Safe Neighborhoods:

• In Rio, we only stay in Ipanema, Leblon or Arpoador neighborhoods.  These are very safe and upscale parts of town, surrounded by beaches, nightlife, shopping, restaurants, public transportation and more... all within walking distance.
• See our note about Health and Safety
  

Roommates:

• SGE will make every attempt to honor roommate requests if you have a friend you want to live with while abroad.
