Отель Refugio Terra Esperanza, Ибарра, Эквадор

Emerson, the host went out of his way to accommodate us, and Carlos and Katy (his staff) provided everything we needed--vegan (and delicious) meals using local ingredients. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of blankets to defeat the mountain chill. I loved the paintings everywhere. The place is rustic, but comfortable and well-maintained. Even though we are not young mountaineers, we were comfortable and happy there. Even though the place is right next to the road, it is quiet. The bathroom is down the hall, but it is very clean, and there were no other guests that night.

Very unique facilities with fireplaces, local culture decor, comfortable beds with warm blankets for cool nights. The restaurant food was fantastic!

Plenty of space, great view, a lot of nature around.

Perfect place if you want to hike up to Mount Imbabura! The host Emerson is great & can give you a lot of advice on climbing the mountain. He also arranged a truck to take me to the trailhead in the early morning so I wouldn’t have to waste my energy before the actual hike starts. There is also a little restaurant and the food is excellent and not too expensive!

Best hostel if you want to climb Imbabura with personally the best owner I have met in Ecuador, Emerson. He is really interested to get to know you and help you with anything you need, also works as a guide for the Imbabura at a reasonable price. We even did a calesthenics workout together and his two dogs are super friendly and cute, can really recommend 10/10. Also a great kitchen and a beautiful view in the outside area :)
