El Misti Hostel Ipanema

Hi ,

I hope you are well and thank you for your interest in volunteering here at El Misti!

I’ve taken a look at your profile and I think you might be a good fit here. Can you go into more detail on your skills and on when you are planning to come to Rio? When would you like to start, and for how long could you stay?

We have plenty of volunteering opportunities at our hostels and with the NGO we are partnered with. Edumais is an NGO that teaches English and entrepreneurship to kids here in the favela. If this is of interest to you, and you’re happy with our culture (check out our YouTube channel!), let us know and we’ll be in touch.

Welcome.
We would like to welcome you to our family, a crew based on the love of traveling, the love for Rio de Janeiro and for the love of sharing.

Come to know about us better and be even closer to our wonderful culture.
El Misti is a chain of hostels with 19 years of experience and 5 branches that make Ipanema, Copacabana and Búzios even more special.

The passion for travel has made German, Dany and Lulo come together to build each unit with a unique identity that matches each traveler.

Here, everything that is shared is much better, so we combine our travel and love experiences to provide the most authentic life experience to other travelers.

Our mission is to transform the dream trip of our guest into reality, building a relationship between them, our marvelous city, other travelers and other social causes. We believe that everything that is shared is much better, because of that we try to put together our travel experiences and love to provide the best experience of life to other travelers.

One month at the hostel and my experience could not have been better! I had incredible experiences I never imagined I would have, I went to several parties, met people from all over the world and I also developed my English quite a bit. The work is calm and flexible, allowing you to enjoy Rio a lot. The location is great, with the subway nearby and markets, Americanas and other shops close by. My tip: come with your social battery charged! The turnover of guests is huge, and you meet new people every day. It’s important to balance your social life with moments of rest. I highly recommend

I enjoyed my short yet meaningful time here at the hostel!! i unfortunately had to leave early due to a family emergency and they were very understanding. i was an activities leader and it basically was just getting to have fun with the guests, being social in and around the hostel, and creating a welcoming environment so definitely lots of fun. the week i was here there was a bit of an understaffing issue so the work did feel slightly heavier at times which can happen but overall wasn't bad at all. i think the volunteer room could use sprucing up too. kayo u were awesome!!! i recommend🫶🏼

I loved the experience at the místi, as it was my second experience, I think the room was well suited, the breakfast was delicious and the schedules were kept.

The staff were very friendly, they looked after my well-being and comfort above all. Moreover, I had a lot of fun every day. Highly recommended.
