The bus, nicknamed Magic Bus Hulk for its striking green paint, offers accommodation for couples and small families on a 1-hectare plot surrounded by waterfalls and canyons in Alfredo Wagner, with a hot tub, equipped kitchen, and the history of having belonged to the Mamonas Assassinas family.
A luxury bus manufactured in the 1960s found its final destination in Alfredo Wagner, in Greater Florianópolis, transformed into accommodation that blends nostalgia, comfort, and experiential tourism. According to NSC, the vehicle, which according to the owners belonged to the Mamonas Assassinas family and even hosted band performances inside, now functions as tourist accommodation available on the Airbnb platform, equipped with a hot tub, bathroom, internet, and a skylight that allows guests to observe the sunrise and the starry sky without leaving the bed.
The location completes the appeal. The bus is installed on a 1-hectare plot surrounded by waterfalls, canyons, and caves, near Soldados Sebold, a set of rock formations that has become a scenic landmark of Alfredo Wagner. The accommodation was designed for couples and small families seeking to disconnect amidst nature, but without giving up amenities such as air conditioning, smart-controlled television, and a fully equipped kitchen. The combination of history, natural scenery, and comfort inside a 1960s green bus has created an accommodation experience unparalleled in the region.
The history of the bus and its connection to Mamonas Assassinas
The narrative behind the vehicle is a fundamental part of its appeal. According to the owners, the bus belonged to the family of the group Mamonas Assassinas, one of the most popular bands in the history of Brazilian music, tragically killed in a plane crash in 1996. The band reportedly played music inside the bus itself, a detail that transforms the accommodation into a piece of cultural memory for fans and the curious. The information, disclosed by the owners, adds a layer of emotional significance to what could otherwise be just an unusual accommodation.

The vehicle was nicknamed Magic Bus Hulk because of the vibrant green paint that covers its entire body. The bus’s retro look attracts attention wherever it goes and has become a trademark of the accommodation, serving as an immediate identification element in photos published on the Airbnb platform. For those who grew up listening to Mamonas Assassinas and have an affinity for the aesthetics of the 1960s, sleeping inside this bus is an experience that combines nostalgia and curiosity in equal measure.
What the bus offers inside
Despite its vintage appearance, the interior of the bus has been adapted with contemporary amenities. The accommodation features a hot tub, a feature that transforms the space into a relaxing retreat amidst the mountainous nature of Alfredo Wagner. The bathroom is complete, internet works on-site, and the climate control system includes smart-controlled air conditioning, ensuring comfort even on cold Santa Catarina winter nights or hot summer days.
The skylight installed on the bus roof is one of the details that most attract guests’ attention. It allows for stargazing directly from the bed, an experience that urban lighting makes impossible in most cities. The bus kitchen is equipped with a stove, air fryer, microwave, sandwich maker, refrigerator, pots, cutlery, and even wine glasses, indicating that the accommodation was designed so that the couple or family does not need to leave the property for meals. The hot tub, skylight, and full kitchen form a comfort package that defies the expectation of those who imagine an old bus as something rudimentary.
Nature, rock formations, and how to get to Alfredo Wagner
The land where the bus is located is approximately 130 kilometers from Florianópolis, within the limits of Alfredo Wagner, a municipality known for its mountain landscapes and nature tourism. Access starts from the city center and continues for 21 kilometers to the accommodation, a route that the owners describe as simple on sunny days, but potentially challenging under heavy rain due to the mountain climb.
The proximity to Soldados Sebold is one of the main attractions. The set of rock formations serves as a natural setting for hikes and contemplation, and the deck built next to the bus offers a direct view of these geological structures. Waterfalls, canyons, and caves complete the 1-hectare surroundings, transforming the accommodation into a base for exploring an ecosystem that few people know outside of Alfredo Wagner. For those arriving from Florianópolis, the journey of just over two hours serves as a transition between the urban coast and a mountain range that seems to belong to another state.
How much does it cost to sleep inside the bus
Reservations are made exclusively through the Airbnb platform, and the accommodation requires a minimum stay of two nights. In a simulation made during high season, such as a winter weekend between July 24 and 26, the total value for a couple is around R$ 1,509. Outside of high season, on weekdays at the end of May, for example, the same two-night period drops to approximately R$ 1,161.
The price positions the bus in the range of experience accommodations, a category that values the uniqueness of the location more than the number of square meters. For those looking for a different weekend in Alfredo Wagner, with a hot tub, views of rock formations, and the story of Mamonas Assassinas as a backdrop, the cost is justified by the exclusivity of the proposal. It’s difficult to find another accommodation in Brazil that brings together a 1960s bus, a legendary band, and a Santa Catarina mountain landscape in the same package.
