Los Balcones

☆☆☆

This small boutique hotel is located in a renovated 18th century mansion where the famous Cuencan visual artist Gaspar de Sangurima used to live. The hotel has only eleven rooms, most of which have their own balcony. The rooms have a private bathroom with hot water and a heating system that sometimes comes in handy during Cuenca’s chilly nights. There is a small restaurant but you can also eat out easily, given the central location of the hotel.

WHY TRAVEL TO ECUADOR?

Indian woman from SalasacasIn South America, Ecuador is one of the smaller countries, but the country is hugely diverse in terms of geography, climate and population. You can visit the Andes, the Amazon rainforest as well as the tropical coast without taking extremely long domestic flights or transfers. And then you have the Galapagos Islands, a once in a lifetime experience. The diversity of flora and fauna per square mile is enormous. Ecuador is South America in a nutshell. Moreover, the country is relatively safe and little visited. The national currency is the USD and you have a wide choice of direct flights to Quito and Guayaquil from Europe and the United States.
