This guesthouse is owned by the Inti Sisa foundation and run by the local community (mostly women!). Not only did we learn all about the projects the Foundation runs for vulnerable children and women, we also truly immersed in the culture and had an amazing time in a very clean, comfortable guesthouse with a nice big breakfast and dinner (great beds too btw). This is a must-visit in Ecuador to meet the locals and understand the country you’re visiting so much better. You can do hiking tours & cultural trips into the Andes. It’s the perfect win-win of a great stay where your money goes straight to those who need it most.

good and clean for short Stopper on the way south.

Spacious rooms with old world charm. Beautiful rural setting and helpful staff. They arranged an English speaking guide for the fabulous indigenous market held every Thursday.

Great service and communication, very friendly host. Cute shared space downstairs. Comfortable beds.

This was the most valuable, rememberable stay we had in Ecuador. We loved it! The location, and the drive towards it, is breath taking. The cabin is fantastic, build like in the old days, but with todays modern facilities. It is realy spacious, sleeps 6 if you like. The Italian volunteers were on premise, and they were oh so kind. They explained about their good work and about the Esperanza community. We met with some of the people, who were all very kind and lovable. We have lots of respect for the lady that runs the kitchen and the bank office (I don't remember if it was Francesca, Florence...?). She's a power woman! We got to see the milk factory inside, visited the community building, met de manager there, and visited the school. The kids in the highest class (11-12 years) grabbed their instruments and played us some songs. If people ask about how our vacation was, this is what we tell them about.
