Aracely is the best host you can imagine! We were stuck here for 18 days during the protests, but we had a really good time! Aracely and her husband made sure we got everything we needed and more. Our room was nice and comfortable and the common kitchen and living room are super cozy. At some cold nights we made a fire and it added to the great atmosphere. We were lucky to have 2 dogs as our pets. Kaiser is super friendly and cuddly, while you need a bit of time to win Papito's heart. There's a small supermarket nearby, as well as a little shop for fruit and veggies. We absolutely loved our stay and enjoyed the views and walks around the village. If you follow the road to El Chaupi until it crossed the train tracks, you have a great view of Cotopaxi! Also the hike to Mt Corazon is totally recommended! We visisted Cotopaxi on a tour arranged by Aracely, and we had the best day!
