HOSTERIA ECOAVENTURA, is easy to get to. It is locatedd on the Baños-Puyo highway, 25 kilometers from Baños. Three is excellent bus service from either Baños or Ambato as the bus stops right at the front entrance. Cost of the trip from Baños is $0.50 to $0.75, depending on the bus company and takes about 25-30 minutes depending on the driver. From Ambato, add one hour and the cost is only $1.50.

Along with the name change a lot of other changes are being made. We have decided to operate as as a full service "Hosteria" where you can either opt for a private cabin ($20.00 per night dbl, $4.00, extra person), or share a cabin with other travelers for only $5.00 per person. Each cabin has hot water showers.

The Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves a typical Ecuadorian fare. Beer and sodas served all day.

The swimming pool is open from 8AM until 6PM. The pool is fed from the Margjita River, and uses no chemicals. It is drained and cleaned every evening.

Visitor from D.C,

In April we had a visitor from the United States, Washington D.C. area who spent almost two weeks in Baños and made her way out to Margarita Ville.

Before arriving, Ellen had asked what special attire was recommended, when hiking around the area. My reply was that the only unique item was a pair of Ecuadorian rubber boots that are available locally for $5.00. The boots are well made and the tread gives you a secure footing while tramping around on some of the rain soaked trails. They may not be the most stylish footwear you have ever owned but I guarantee it is the best $5.00 you will ever spend…on footwear that is. Ellen got some good use of her boots while here and she kindly donated them to Margarita Ville when she left.

Thank you Ellen for your visit and hope to see you on your next visit…you are a wonderful lady.
