- We partner with a great Airbnb and Booking destination in the nearby community of Rosario, run by ex-Alaskans Diane Tiemessen and partner Dave, together with Alba Rodriguez and her wonderful farming family. If you like hiking , there's a spectacular hike from our accomodation to their beautiful farm in the Rosario/Piñan lakes area, and we can send you luggage ahead by vehicle. In Rosario they offer:
- Treks, with or without mules, to the Piñan lakes altiplano (trout fishing, wilderness exploration)
- Biking to Cuellaje (15 kilometres, almost all downhill)
- motorbike tours of the surrounding area.
- Cooking classes, both to learn spanish and Ecuadorian cookery.
- Learn to kill, butcher and cook rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens in a humane and trouble-free way that have been practised here for generations.
- Basket making demonstrations and practical classes.
