We stayed in the "birdhouse", which only had a single bed but was super cozy and had an amazing view of the volcano! The common area was super cozy and a great place to meet fellow travelers. I also loved the shared meals :)

Anna Slovakia

Everything, the location in particular is amazing (even though it seems not possible to get there) and you can from there see and hike the Cotopaxi too

Giorgia Switzerland

When i came to ecuador, i was not sure i could clim cotopaxi. It was fortunate, that i booked at secret garden cotopaxi, because they where able to not only arrange cotopaxi but also iliniza norte (acclimatization). Especially Michelle, Luis, Irwin, Grant were really helpful making this experience unforgetable.

Jonas Switzerland

There’s not much you can not like, the Secret Garden Cotopaxi has a stunning view over the Valley and on cloudless mornings you can see many of the surrounding mountains including Cotopaxi, the place is enchantingly beautiful itself with big panorama windows, hammocks, fireplaces, a swing, a jacuzzi and more and the people you‘ll meet will make your experience even better! The activities offered by the hostel are also an absolute bang for your buck and nothing to miss out on!
