A very beautiful setting. Attractive buildings inside and out. Very nice free breakfast. No kitchen access and a lack of food available for purchase on site makes the 3 km from Otavalo a logistical challenge. Plan ahead to get an evening meal prepared. The 40 cent bus ride is available until 7 pm, but it is challenging to learn how to find exiting Otovalo.

Amazing! The mountains are stunning. The place is ideal for chilling and relaxing and I really enjoyed that’s it’s located just outside of town. My stay wouldn’t be the same without the amazing, Wilson and Guadalupe, who works here. I had many good talks with Wilson and he was super helpful with everything and he made a campfire at night! He also makes the garden stay in perfect shape! Guadalupe made amazing breakfast and was just a very sweet person in general, so huge thanks to both of them!
