Hostal Doña Clarita — Hotel in Chugchillan

I had a very lovely stay at Doña Clarita hostal. I didn’t make a reservation in advance and just stopped by asking if they have any free room. Since I was their first guest after their had renovated the guesthouse they upgraded me to a private room for no extra cost with a private bathroom which I thought was a very kind gesture. And the bathroom has beautiful windows made from upcycled glass bottles. The family is very friendly and attentive. Meal is also delicious. We spent some nice time talking about the trails, our culture adn they even taight me a few qichua words :). I was supposed to stay only one night but doña Clara suggested I could rest one more day and do the skywalk. Her son Lucas explained to me the way since it wasnt on the map and so I set off. Skywalk was absolutely gorgeous. I am glad I didn’t miss it. I got also other suggestions for hikes around Chugchilan but unfortunately didn’t have time to explore more of Chugchilan’s beautiful nature and decided to do it next time when I’ll come back. It was homey and truly local and authentic...

My husband and I and our two children (age 9 & 11) recently stayed at Hostal Dona Clarita for 3 nights. The rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. Clara and her family were very welcoming and sweet. Clara and her daughter cooked delicious meals- big portions and good variety (breakfast and supper included with your room price!) We also had them pack us a lunch for hiking and it was also excellent. Humberto, Clara’s husband, drove us to Quilotoa twice for a reasonable fee so we could hike the crater rim to Guayama. We also kayaked in the crater, we visited the cheese factory and he took us to a beautiful lookout point and on a short hike our last morning there. Our kids were very sad to leave. They had a lot of fun playing soccer with Clara’s grandchildren and teaching them to play Yahtzee. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Clara and family! We hope to visit you again...
