Description
UPDATE APRIL 2025: Currently looking for volunteers, minimum of stay 1 Month. From mid-May 2025.
Our hostel has 12 rooms and can support until 100 guests at the same time. It opened 8 years ago and is very well rated on all websites.
This is thanks to very nice installations of course but also thanks to our wonderful staff always concerned about guests enjoying as much as possible their time in Brazil.
We would like to share all this nice "carioca' atmosphere with workawayers preparing to spend some time in Rio. Our hostel is located in Leme, a very nice and safe neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Then we ask our workawayers to share this same atmosphere with our guests.
Minimum 1 month

Think about the best place to discover Rio de Janeiro and the cariocas!
This is the perfect place to introduce to travellers the Brazilian culture, beaches and wildlife but still staying in contact with people from all over the world and with a lot of comfort.
Staying just a few meters from the pacified and safe favela of Babilonia will allow travellers to discover the authentic carioca way of living. Only 10 minutes from Copacabana and near all interesting places in Rio.
Leme is a small and safe neigborhood where all Rio is resumed: culture, party, wildlife, beach, trekkings etc...
All this in the safest place of the city.

My stay here was absolutely amazing, and the reason for that is mainly the owners Marielle and Thibout, who both take great care of both their guests and their volunteers. The shifts vary, which means you do different things at every shift, and in that way the work never gets boring. In addition, you even have a say in which shift you want and… read more

I have learned so much during these couple of months ( yes, instead of 1 month and ended up staying for 4 months.:).
