5/5 Excellent

"Loved being in the Cotopaxi National Parque. This place is rustic,comfortable. We had a small wood stove in our room which was lit each night by staff. The dining area serves delicious food for great prices. We had filet mignon for 15$ each. Again, coffee is not great, but it does the job. We took a 2 hour guided horse ride with a local fellow, it was wonderful to go out and see nature. Views of Cotopaxi were spectacular, the weather was great. Staff speaks english well enough to understand each other. "
