“A warm, cozy, and wonderfully peaceful stay near Quilotoa, with spotless room and excellent food!”
Hostal El Vaquero turned out to be a fantastic find near Quilotoa Crater Lake. The rooms were comfortable, spotless, and incredibly cozy—exactly what we needed after a day of exploring. Our group booked three adjoining rooms connected by a small shared living room, which gave us the perfect mix of privacy and a shared space to relax. The hosts were exceptionally warm, friendly, and accommodating from the moment we arrived, and check‑in couldn’t have been easier. One unexpected highlight was the sauna and steam room, available for a small extra fee. After being out in the cool Andean air, they were fantastic. We were served dinner at 7 p.m. and breakfast the next 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 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!**
