Fodor's Expert Review Rumipamba de las Rosas

In an Andean valley 100 km (61 mi) south of Quito, right at the stone gate to the colorful town of Salcedo, is this unexpectedly elegant hostel. Comfortable rooms filled with antiques, a shady pool, and three restaurants—one with seating in a garden—are the perfect antidote for the stresses of modern life. While you're here, explore Salcedo's market.
