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😁
From the moment we arrived everyone was great. All the boats crew were welcoming and full of smiles, the guides were both there with answers & insights throughout our 5 days.
Food was great, chef Daniel kept everyone happy!
And the bed was very comfy too!
Highly recommended
Beautiful time cruising in the Galapagos. Each day held amazing new things to see. Some walks each day as our guide informed us about the landscape, animals, flora, fauna - Melina was so knowledgeable and friendly! The crew on the ship was incredibly helpful. Miss the islands already!
Unforgettable Experience at an Amazing Hostel
This hostel exceeded all my expectations! The staff and volunteers were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and created such good vibes throughout my stay. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious, with the desserts being the highlight—plus, free banana bread every day was such a treat!
The views from the hostel were breathtaking, and the organized tours were well-planned to make the most of the stunning surroundings. Break times were perfectly paced, giving us the energy needed for all the adventures. The cozy fireplace area and comfortable hammocks with outdoor seating added to the relaxing atmosphere.
One of my favorite activities was feeding the llamas—it was such a unique and fun experience! The entire place is so well cared for, and the energy is just incredible.
A special shoutout to the kitchen staff, who work tirelessly to prepare meals that fuel you for hikes. Please remember to tip them—they truly deserve it!
If you’re feeling adventurous, I highly recommend attempting to summit Cotopaxi. As a 45-year-old female, I made it to the top, and it was a surreal and life-changing experience!
This is such a lovely place, and I will absolutely come back.

I recently stayed at Secret Garden Cotopaxi, and it was nothing short of magical! From the moment I arrived, the breathtaking views of the surrounding volcanoes set the tone for an unforgettable experience.
The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home right away. The facilities are charming, clean, and perfectly blend comfort with the rustic, adventurous vibe of the location. I stayed in one of the hobbit holes, and waking up to a postcard-worthy view of Cotopaxi Volcano every morning was surreal.
The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful—perfect for fueling up before a day of hiking or relaxing in the cozy common areas. The all-inclusive package made everything easy, with meals, snacks, and coffee always available.
What truly sets Secret Garden apart is the sense of community. The group dinners, cozy bonfires, and organized hikes foster a wonderful atmosphere for meeting fellow travelers. The guided hikes were fantastic, offering challenging but rewarding adventures with knowledgeable guides who ensured everyone's safety and enjoyment.
The hot tub with a view of the volcano was the cherry on top, offering a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.
I can't recommend Secret Garden Cotopaxi enough—it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for anyone who loves nature, adventure, and great company. I'll definitely be returning!
Thank you, Secret Garden, for an unforgettable stay!
