We spent one week (April 26 – May 2) with San Jorge Eco Lodges in Quito, Ecuador and the surrounding area. Not only is there an Eco Lodge in Quito, but also additional lodges at different elevations providing a great diversity of bird and plant life. We spent our first night in the Quito lodge. The second night we stayed... more

We enjoyed a wonderful, comfortable room with a panoramic view of the valley and Quito. The meals were tastefully prepared from local cuisine and creatively presented in a mouth-watering display that tasted as good as it looked. Up early in the mornings with our bird guide George Cruz, we encountered a plethora of species new to us each day. Our... more

Jorge's expertise and enthusiasm for his role as birding guide are nothing short of amazing. He is so knowledgeable, not only about the fantastic avian life in Ecuador, but about all the other fauna and flora in the various habitats. He is always so willing to impart his knowledge, and has an insatiable appetite to see and do more every... more

We didn't use the services of Dr Cruz as a guide, so this represents our experience of the "hotels" at Quito and Milpe. The Quito Lodge is off the beaten track so you need help getting there. The rooms are a considerable hike (at altitude) above the public areas. Although an electrical heater was on, we found our room rather... more

Hosteria San Jorge is owned by Dr. Jorge Cruz.He has a series of eco-lodges at different elevations with a variety of experiences that are unsurpassed in beauty. They are rustic and luxuirous at once and the Quito location is about 15 km outside of Quito and yet is a world away in terms of experience. You can see the city... more

The San Jorge lodges and reserves encompass a wide diversity of habitats. My wife and I stayed at San Jorge Quito lodge from July 30 & 31 which is located in the high barren plains / highland rainforest. Firstly, I have to give credit to the travel agent Cheryl who produced a customized travel itinerary for our trip -- much... more

A friend and I spent a fabulous week just before Christmas this year on a birding tour at the three San Jorge Ecolodges in Quito, Tandayapa, and Milpe. From the moment Jose met our delayed flight late at night, we felt we were among friends and can't say enough about the excellent service and personal touches that made our visit... more

If you like to see the rainforest, the nature, the birds and be cold this is the place, but if you’re expecting to travel to the city Quito to see the downtown and do not want to walk, this is not the place, the staff is terrible specially the manager, there is not internet, it is a ecological place and... more
