This place is magical. Really amazing to disconnect from the outside world with stunning views of Cotopaxi, good food, and met amazing people. Cuddles with the baby llama were a bonus.

I had a very good time on the cruise around Isla Isabela on the Aida Maria with the crew and our guide Jose. The itinerary, the spots and program were perfect, also the food, buffet, SOUPS, deserts and snacks were delicious. Just one thing, the cabin is not big, with AC perfect, but I have to sleep with my big travel-bag in my bad and no place to get all the wet clothes dry. I know, that will always be a little problem. But if could do it again, I will. I was also lucky to have lovely fellow travelers in every age, perfect as a group. And guide Jose, who knows so much about everything of the Galápagos Islands, he loves and lives his job! To all a big Thank you, muchas gracias und Dankeschön from the Schattenparker😎

The Secret Garden is charming. We had a wonderful time enjoying the scenery and hanging out with the young crowd. Horseback riding in the Andes was magical. The Hill House had amazing views. But the best part were the warm and welcoming staff and visitors.

Summitted Cotopaxi on the 22nd of March. I believe we were the first to do so post the March 15th avalanche. Conditions were not ideal with poor visibility and very strong winds. Huge shoutout to my guide Marco who is an absolute machine and practically dragged me up in the last little bit. The whole process is seamless from start to finish, from being kitted out, to transportation to and from. Listen to your guide folks- mine said we should leave at 2AM but I insisted 1AM so I was way too early for the sunrise. The guides know the mountain like the back of their hands. It's pricey but you get what you pay for.

The place to be to explore the beautiful surroundings of cotopaxi. The rooms are clean and provide a stunning view. Also you don't have to worry about food en drinks, they got you😁
