The place is super nice and a good starting point for hiking. The people were super friendly and very welcoming, absolutely lovely! The room was very basic, the bed was small but comfy. It was extremely cold at night and there was no hot water to shower or a heat source for the night. There were enough blankets, but since we hiked into a hail storm we were wet and cold and couldn’t really warm up… warm water would be expected, even in a basic room like this. The restaurant is an absolute gem though. We had dinner there and it was amazing! Truly just delicious and special, you can taste the love they put in the dishes. Transport from Machachi is available, Juan picked us up and drive over the very cobbly road. Communication was not super easy, we waited for 30 minutes before he found us, even though we sent our location… but the ride was very nice. For the next time we would probably go somewhere with warm water, but for dinner we absolutely recommend this place.

Set in a beautiful area, and run with exception service. Loved the time I spent there. The food was amazing, hospitality was spot on! I couldn't recommend this place more! Close to the Cotopaxi entrance as well.
