Katherine
and Tarquin, the owners/creators of The Secret Garden Quito, have
moved to the countryside where they have been building their dream home
and hostal. It's spectacular mountain scenery, it's a beautiful
traditional lodge made of mud bricks and thatched roof, it's an
eco-friendly self sufficiency project (with no mains electricity, town
water or phone lines), it's gourmet food, it's an adventure centre and
it's a relaxation centre.
The Secret Garden Cotopaxi offers you as little or as much as you want, and all of it less than 2 hours from Quito...
- Walk up the glacier on the world's highest active volcano
- Downhill Mountain Biking
- Horse riding across the high Andean plains
- Gourmet food from the chef who trained our chefs in Quito
- Trout fishing, hiking, or just relaxing by the fire with a good book
