We had a fantastic time at Hosteria San Jorge. It was very beautiful and peaceful, very relaxing after a month traveling in South America.
Everybody was friendly and helpful, and the food was fantastic.
The horse-riding was brilliant, and the surrounding countryside was beautiful. If we come back to Quito, we will come and visit again.
