Hostal el Vaquero

A great place to stay after hiking stage 2 of the Quilotoa Loop.

Süßeste Hunde, toller Ausblick in den Canyon, viel Platz im Zimmer; sehr netter, fürsorglicher Besitzer, leckeres Abendessen (auch veggie).

Hostal El Vaquero was an absolutely wonderful find near Quilotoa Crater Lake. The rooms were comfortable, spotlessly clean, and incredibly cozy—exactly what we needed after a day of exploring. Our group had three adjoining rooms connected by a small shared living room, which gave us the perfect combination of privacy and a comfortable space to relax together. The hosts were exceptionally warm, friendly, and accommodating from the moment we arrived, and check-in couldn’t have been easier. One of the unexpected highlights was the sauna and steam room, available for a small additional charge. After being out in the cool Andean air, they were fantastic. We were served dinner at 7 p.m. and breakfast the following morning, and both the food and service were excellent. Everything about our stay felt welcoming, relaxed, and thoughtfully cared for. I highly recommend Hostal El Vaquero. It’s a little off the beaten path, close to the spectacular Quilotoa crater lake, and perfect for adventurous travelers as well as those more particular travelers who appreciate comfort, peace, quiet, and good hospitality. And did I mention the adorable llamas? They were the perfect finishing touch to a memorable stay. **Five stars from us!**

There is nothing to report.

Es war wundervolle! Vor allem der "Wellnessbereich" mit Sauna, Dampfbad und Pool war wunderbar nach dem langen Tag wandern. Der Herr dort war so herzallerliebst, es war wirklich ein toller Aufenthalt.
