Hotel & Hacienda Descriptions:

Day 1 & 2:
Mansion del Angel:  An old Mansion built at the turn of the last Century has been completely restored in order to achieve the former splendor of the Ecuadorian Republican era. The Mansion used to be the home of an Ecuadorian Tobacco Tycoon, who entertained his guests and buyers lavishly in the large spaces on the Ground Floor, while he and his family utilized the First Floor as their private residence.

The property is part of the Architectural Historic Society of the downtown area of the Capital according to the World Heritage Foundation, which considered Quito to be the first city of the organization according to UNESCO.

The Mansion as well as the entire surrounding neighborhood was designed by an Italian Architect, who was influenced by the architectural style of his native country. Many homes and private houses in this particular area show the splendor and the excellent craftsmanship of this bygone era.

Boutique Hotel Mansion del Angel overlooks the well known Alameda Park and when passing through the park, the Historical Part of Downtown Quito may be reached within 10 minutes. The park is also the home of the first Astronomic Observatory.

Anahi Boutique Hotel: The Anahí Boutique Hotel was conceived bringing the right pieces to mix and match with each other the perfect balance of easy and style.  Yet being a Hotel, it has been meticulously designed to satisfy the needs of the most demanding traveler by means of a personalized service.

You will always be comfortable in any of its fifteen suites that have been tailored with luxury, unique and representative details of the colonial, rustic, eco and modern styles which are part of the richness of our country.

Quito/Casa Aliso: This 10-room gem offers all the style and comfort of a small luxurious home with an especially inviting interior. The use of color, wood, iron and marble throughout creates the atmosphere of a sophisticated private residence, maintaining the same tradition and elegance as when it was built in 1936. Delightfully secluded, Casa Aliso is well known to experienced travelers who want to be close to everything, but desire a quieter, more refined atmosphere. It is located in the fashionable residential neighborhood of "La Floresta", a stones throw away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet just a short taxi ride away from some of Quito's most popular tourist attractions.

Day 7: Papallacta "Termas de Papallacta" Hot Springs SPA & RESORT is located 67 kilometers (40 miles) east of the city of Quito, only at one and a half hour's distance, in the paved Interoceanic Highway on the way to Baeza.

This marvelous Spa & Resort is located on the Cinnamon Trail, the same route that Francisco de Orellana took in 1542, when he crossed the Andean mountain range in search of gold and other treasures, and which unexpectedly led him to discover the great Amazon River. However, despite the fact that this place is located in the Ecuadorian Highlands, at an altitude of 3,220 meters (10,800 ft.) above sea level, Papallacta is the entry door to the Ecuadorian Amazon Region. Depending on the weather season, the climate is cold humid, with an average environmental temperature from 10 to 14 C.

Upon arrival at Papallacta, you will began to feel the beneficial effects of the life-giving, diaphanous air which originates in a singular meeting of the Amazonian winds with the rocks, forests and water of the high Andean mountains. Spend an unforgettable night at the comfortable rooms of the hotel located around the swimming pools, which are exclusive for guests. From these pools you will be able to admire the high mountains, primary forests, and starry nights.
