I went with friends for nine days and had a great time everyday. We went horseback riding, hiking, went to see the beautiful waterfalls on the property and even saw how they make cheese there from the milk of their own cows. But, when I wanted to just lay back and enjoy relaxing, there was always the pool, the hammocks... more

This ecolodge (not really sure what's so ecologically friendly about it, but never mind!) is about 5.5 hrs from Quito (the guide makes lots of stops so who knows what it would take if taken w/out stops) near the Columbian border.

We stayed 2 nights in December and it was a great experience. We felt welcomed into a personal home, and the staff was attentive and friendly. The driver / tour guide made sure that our days were filled with activities. The food cooked by the on-premises chef was excellent. more

The drive to the Hacienda sort of scared me at first but ended up being the most beautiful ride and well worth the three hour... more

We just spent five days in paradise. Once you get beyond the three hour drive from Quito (have them pick you up; you don't want to drive on these dirt roads) you are in one of the most beautiful settings I've ever seen. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the food is excellent. We hiked, rode the horses, milked... more
