Stefano has a second Brazuka hostel in Maceio which was our next stop, about two hours south of Maragogi and the capital of Pernambuco state. Maceio is considered the most dangerous city in Brazil, and the third most dangerous city in the world. Apparently this is largely due to drugs in the favelas, but they still experience a high level of assaults here too. We did not feel unsafe or under threat in any way despite this status….and the manager Facundo “forgot” to warn us so we were blissfully unaware as we wandered around the streets at night time. By the time we arrived and dumped our bags, we were tired and hungry so we got some directions for somewhere cheap to eat and set off. Unfortunately when we went to return, we realised that we hadn’t really paid attention, and while we knew were close, we were definitely lost…
